All Chapters of Dirty Cravings; Big Bad Brother: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

~~Indigo~~I’ve been in love with Braxton since I was a four year old girl who accidentally bumped into him with my swing and sent him flying. Since those sad blue eyes transitioned into electric ones. It's always been us two for as long as I remember. Even our families joke about us getting married. That was before death took my parents when I was in my sophomore year in school. We bonded closer than ever. I couldn’t have asked for a better friend…or lover, if he’d have me. The only problem is that my thoughts are kept as close to my chest as possible for fear of ruining this wonderful bond we share. “How does this dress look for tonight?” I ask aloud to the man whose face is on the screen of my tablet, propped up against a pillow. His eyes twinkle at the sight of the black sequined dress, hugging my physique and having a hem that barely brushes my ankle. “Perfect,” he grins. Just like that, the butterflies in my belly set off fluttering, successfully turning me into a nervous m

~~Indigo~~I offer to make breakfast the next morning. Teresa insists I shouldn’t have but she seems to forget I’m not a stranger to this family. Well, maybe until yesterday when I learned of Brax’s twin. How long were they planning to keep the truth from me?Speaking of the devil, Brax walks into the kitchen with a blank expression drawn unto his face. I keep my focus on the sausage slices, but he breaks the tension first. “Hey.”“Hi.” I don’t stop whisking the eggs. “About yesterday.” He leans onto the counter, sliding several plates on it. “I’m sorry I spoke to you in that manner. That was out of character.”“I believe so. That’s why you hid the truth of your twin brother from me?” This time, I stare at him pointedly which he matches. “What are your explanations?”He shrugs. “None. If he mattered as much, you’d have heard me sing his praise. “I’m completely thrown off by his careless comments at this point. “That is your twin brother for goodness sake!” I whisper, furious. “How

~~Indigo~~“I still think it’s a bad idea that you came to the lakehouse in the first place.” Emily, in her usual way, berates me. “You know clearly how you feel about him and how he’s led you on for years–” “I just–” “I’m not done speaking,” she interrupts coldly. “He left you hanging in the middle of nowhere that one time when your car broke down on the road because he was in the middle of something urgent.” “Because he was! I’ve told you, Brax would never intentionally hurt me. He’s the reason why I have my sanity intact after the demise of my parents.” I thread my fingers through my hair as I recall my desperate act to get him to look at me as more than just a sister. Heck, we aren’t in any way related by blood. So why wouldn’t he just LOOK? “I can’t live without Brax. I can’t. Therapy didn’t work and I don’t think anything else will. I saved myself for him and it’ll only be with him. Nobody else.” She freezes, lipstick in hand and eyes pinned on my reflect
