Semua Bab Help Me, Stepbrothers, For I Have Sinned: Bab 231 - Bab 236

Lavender:I don't think I’ve ever felt so awkward around someone the way I felt in the water with Nikon. It was also weird, the way he saved me, but then took his time getting me out of the water. The way his eyes lingered on my face, the way he chose his words so teasingly, I felt a strange tingle in my chest.There was no denying he was a very good-looking man, but he had done messed-up things, so I’m glad nothing else happened.Still, the possibility of something happening has actually increased in my mind now. He seemed more open to the idea of intimacy, or maybe I was just reading too much into it.I mean, he had a habit of teasing me, so he was probably just doing it to make me feel lesser about myself later on, when he reminded me I gave in too quickly. So, I didn’t want to ponder too much on it.I sneezed once again while sitting on the bed, wiping my nose over and over. I had changed into a brown dress, but my hair was still wet.I think I was just a little too sensitive, bec

Lavender:“Nothing. I was just worried that if anything happened to you, I’d be stuck here without help. So don’t get any ideas,” I hissed, or at least I tried to.He casually shoved his hands into the pockets of his shorts and stood there, eyes narrowed, head tilted.“You know what, wifey!” he said in an overly dramatic, mock-spooky tone, “screw what I said. This place is quite dangerous.”“Ha ha ha. You can’t scare me anymore,” I said, folding my arms confidently over my chest. “I saw there’s nothing out there that could climb.”“Are you sure, Lavender? Nothing can?” he asked, taking one step forward.My posture wavered a little.“I know. Besides, you said your men are all around here, so we’ll be fine, right?” I reminded him.He pouted and nodded slowly, almost like he was saying, Hmm, I hear you.“But Lavender,” he said, “do you remember that man who came into our mansion? The one led in by my own guards?”My cocky smile faded instantly.“How do you know none of my men here is cor

Nikon:I watched her come out of that room in a red dress, and I must say, I forgot what I was saying or what instructions I was giving to my man on the phone. It was a pretty important call, and I just lost my words. I didn’t want to admit it, but she was the most gorgeous thing I had ever laid eyes on.Before that, I didn’t want to acknowledge that I’d noticed her beauty. I didn’t even want to compliment her. I didn’t want to have those kinds of feelings for her. I had been fighting them for a while, and it was obvious, whenever she was in trouble, I would go to save her myself. Normally, I’d just send my guards to help someone, but this was different.Still, I didn’t want her to get involved in the mafia business. So I stayed away from her. I thought, ‘Hmm, maybe it’s better this way— that she stays just a stepsister.’ Even then, I was slightly confused. Worried. She was too pure and didn’t deserve to be surrounded by such toxic people.But she was stuck with her mother; that evil
