Chapter 14 - Caught Trying

Vera's POV

Today is Friday, the last day I have to go to school this week.

After the day at the library, Liam has been avoiding holding conversation. All we do is go to school and come back. Nothing more.

I wouldn't lie, it was getting to me.

I walked out of my room with a book in my hand and stood in front of Liam's bedroom door. I made sure I woke up earlier than usual, because I now know he leaves his room early to get a drink from the kitchen.

I stood there for a moment, took a breath, then opened three buttons of my shirt, enough to show skin. I pushed the door open and walked in.

He sat behind his desk, writing something with concentration and frustration written on his face. His head snapped toward the door the moment it opened.

I shut the door behind me.

"What are you doing in my room?" he asked, his pen still in his hand.

"I need your help.” I said as I walked closer to where he sat and I couldn't help but stare at his shirtless upper body. He wore just loose shorts, my eyes travelled down there and a flash of me on my knees, having him in my mouth crossed my thoughts.

He quickly covered the book he was writing on earlier and kept it in his drawer.

I moved my eyes from his crotch to rest on his face.

“That's the reason you didn't knock?”

"If I go back to knock, will you help me?"

He let out a deep breath and dropped his pen on the desk. "Forget it. What do you want?"

I walked to stand beside him while he stayed seated. His table was covered in academic books, papers spread out like he'd been buried in them for hours.

I placed my maths notebook on top of everything and said, "I want you to help me with my math homework."

His brows pulled together. "You could have used AI to assist you."

"If I didn't want to understand it, I wouldn't be here, Liam." I kept my face serious, my eyes steady on his.

He studied me for a second, like he was deciding whether to believe me. Then he said, "Let me see."

I opened the page and slid the book in front of him. He looked through it, nodding slowly, then picked up his pen and started explaining.

"Looking at this question, the topic is bearing. I hope you can draw your four cardinal points." He glanced up at me.

"Uhmm, yes, I think so."

"Good. So the question says a man traveling from town N walks 20km due north…"

Whatever he was saying became a blur in my ears as I made sure to lean forward and rest my hands on the table, letting my boobs be in full into display for him to feast his eyes on.

"He walks 50km, 30 degrees west of south. So the diagram will look like this. Do you underst…" His eyes lifted to check if I was following, but his words trailed off the moment they landed on my exposed boobs.

He tried to swallow his saliva subtly, but I caught the movement of his throat.

"I totally understand," I said, my voice low, just enough to make his eyes snap back up to mine.

"Great. Now that we have the diagram, we can calculate."

His eyes moved to look at my boobs briefly as he talked but he still felt in control. It wasn't enough reaction I wanted from him.

I bent down on my toes, then shifted my hand and let it land on his lap, right where his shorts left his thigh exposed.

His eyes jumped to mine and held my gaze

I didn't stop. I worked my palm higher into his shorts, my fingers inching toward him. I was almost there when his hand held my wrist.

"What are you doing?"

"What does it look like I am doing?" My voice came out low and seductive.

He removed my hand from his short and held it in his, and said in a low displeased voice.

“You actually didn't come because you had problem solving a math question.” Then he threw my hand and it fell to my side, almost making me stumble. “Leave my room.”

My face dropped, the sourness rising in my chest. "You weren't really serious about what you said in the library, right?"

"I was damn serious."

I shook my head slowly.

"I thought you were going to get rid of the idea after a few days."

"We are step siblings, Vera. Your mum is married to my dad. It is wrong." His voice was firm, like he was trying to convince himself as much as me.

"No!" The word came out louder than I meant it to. "I told you I don't like hearing that word from you. I met you as the sexy guy at the party with hot green eyes that I didn't mind spending time with in a room. You don't get intimate with your step sibling, and most importantly, your step sibling doesn't go on her knees to give you a blowjob."

I stepped closer until I stood right in front of him. "I made you cum with this mouth and I will like you to do the same. So… let's just be two individuals living under the same roof." I lifted my hand and touched his chin, making bend his head slightly toward mine. "I know you're attracted to me, and so am I. I will give you more time, and your answer just has to be yes, because I will make sure you crave me more than you ever did."

"Do you know what our parents would do if they found out what's been happening?" He said in a low voice.

"And how will they know?" I raised a brow, then let out a soft, teasing laugh. "Are you scared of them?"

He drew in a deep breath, his eyes not leaving mine. "Sarah almost caught us."

"But she didn't."

I held his gaze a moment longer, then said in a low voice, "I will wait for your answer."

I turned and walked toward the bedroom door, my steps slow and unhurried, taking my time to walk out of his room. My hand had just reached the door knob when I heard him speak, his voice closer than I expected.

"You forgot something.”
