Semua Bab MY STEPBROTHER’S OBSESSION : His touch, my sin: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Yubi.I froze in the doorway, my suitcase half in my hands, half forgotten on the polished floor. The house was huge. Too huge. Trey’s house. Our house now, I reminded myself bitterly, because of the announcement my parents had dropped yesterday like a bomb.My stomach churned at the thought. Step siblings. I thought I had put that night out of my mind, the way you think you can erase a scar if you don’t touch it. But now, standing here, seeing him, he hadn’t changed. Tall. Broad shouldered. That same quiet danger in his eyes that had made my heart stutter when he had kissed me one week ago. “Trey?” My voice sounded small, almost foreign in the vast hallway.He appeared at the top of the stairs, leaning casually on the railing. But his casual posture didn’t reach his eyes. Those dark, unreadable eyes scanned me from head to toe, lingering longer than necessary. My cheeks burned and I could feel them turning red. “Yubi,” he said, his voice low, almost a growl. He sounded calm, but e

Yubi.The next morning was calm, things felt like they could work out between us. I thought I could handle being around Trey during the day. I thought, maybe, I could pretend to be normal when the sun was up and everyone else was around. But reality had a way of shattering those illusions.It started with the car ride. My mom had asked me to run a quick errand, just a grocery pickup and, of course, Trey had offered to drive. I didn’t exactly refuse. Being trapped in a car with him, in that tight space, was the kind of punishment that made my pulse race and my palms sweat.We sat side by side, the silence heavy. The engine hummed beneath us, but it did nothing to drown out the tension that wrapped around us like a vice. I kept my hands folded in my lap, my eyes fixed on the passing scenery, hoping he wouldn’t notice how badly my body betrayed me with every glance in his direction.But of course, he did notice.At one point, his elbow brushed mine, just a casual, accidental touch, I

YubiThe house was too quiet.That was the first thing I noticed when I crept out of my room later that night, still wearing my soft pink pajama shorts and an oversized tee. Everyone else had gone to bed hours ago Mom and Trey’s dad were probably passed out after drinking too much celebratory champagne, Kiara had driven home with Trey and maybe he was spending the night at his house, not that I cared anyway. My throat felt tight as I remembered earlier at the party, Trey and I had argued, Why did everything with Trey feel like an argument lately, even when we weren’t speaking? Why did it feel like the air changed whenever he walked into a room?Why did my heart ache every time his eyes lingered on me?The same eyes that had looked furious tonight when Kevin asked me to dance. And furious when I said yes. And furious while he slow danced with Kiara like he didn’t even want her near him.I shook my head. Water. All I needed was water.The hallway was dim, just the soft glow from the k

YubiI barely slept that night, every time I closed my eyes, I felt him again his breath against my neck, the warmth of his hands, the way he whispered my name like it meant something. Like I was special.I don't remember finally falling asleep or him leaving either. I wake up alone in his bed, wrapped in a sheet that still smells like him. For a second, I lie there trying to pretend I’m dreaming, that last night didn’t happen, that I didn’t let myself fall into the arms of the one man I should never have allowed to touch me.But the ache between my legs is real.The marks he left on my skin are real.The emptiness beside me is real. It happened and I loved every second of it. I sit up slowly, pressing a hand to my chest as if I can steady my heartbeat.I can’t. It’s racing.I don’t know what I expect when I step out of his room, maybe that he’ll be waiting for me, maybe that he’ll look at me the same way he did last night, like I was something he didn’t want to lose.But the hallwa

YubiI hardly sleep that night. Every time I close my eyes, I hear Trey’s voice echoing in my head.Kiari said yes. Whatever happened between us can never happen again.The words replay, over and over, until they carve themselves into my bones. I lie awake staring at the ceiling, the faint glow from the pool lights seeping through my curtains, reminding me of where everything fell apart.I press a hand to my stomach.It’s still flat. Still unchanged but after a few months I will not be able to hide it anymore. I need a plan, fast. By dawn, I have made a decision, a quiet, trembling, terrifying decision that settles into me like a final breath.I need to leave. It's the only way this works. Not because I want to run away.Not because I’m weak. But because staying here, staying in this house, staying near him will destroy me and our entire family of the truth ever came out.I need space and distance, besides like Trey had said, it was a mistake and one stupid mistake should not destro
