Are you still scared?

The drive home was completely silent, but it was a different kind of silence from all the others we had shared. It wasn't loaded with hidden meanings; it wasn't careful or tense. It was just quiet in the specific way that follows something that completely shook you, leaving you needing a moment to put yourself back together.I sat in the passenger seat with my hands folded tightly in my lap, my eyes trained on the asphalt ahead, and Adrian drove. Neither of us said a single word, and for once, I wasn't thinking about the dreams. I wasn't thinking about the guilt, or the camera, or the careful distance I was supposed to keep from my sister's husband.I was just thinking about how quickly Adrian had stepped in front of me… to shield me.Without thinking. Without a single second of hesitation.I stared at the road and desperately told myself it meant nothing, that it was pure human instinct, that anyone would have done the exact same thing in that aisle. I told myself that several ti

The responsibility belongs to me

Lisa's POVThe silence returned the moment we finished eating. I kept my eyes on the wooden table, my nerves still raw from when his hand had covered mine.Then, Adrian’s phone rang. It was Elena.Panic hit me instantly. If Adrian picked up and told her what happened at the supermarket, Elena would cancel her meetings, drop everything, and fly back on the next flight. Part of me wanted that—I wanted my sister here so I wouldn't have to be alone in this house with Adrian anymore. But this trip was massive for her career. Telling her would disrupt her work and make her worry herself sick from hundreds of miles away. I didn't want to do that to her.As Adrian reached for the phone, I shot my hand out and grabbed his hand.My fingers clamped tight around his wrist and I stared straight into his eyes, trying to tell him everything without speaking: Don't tell her. Please.Adrian didn't blink. He looked at my pale face, my tight grip on his wrist, and understood perfectly. He slid h

I'm folding up

I had given Lisa enough of the sedative in her food to keep her under, but the psychological shock from the supermarket was a volatile variable. And I might've given it to her too early. She skipped dinner because she was sleeping, but I kept her food in the fridge just in case she got really hungry in the morning.Maybe I shouldn't have given her the sedative so early.I realized that when I got up in the middle of the night to get water. The quiet of the house was broken by the distinct, muffled sound of choked breathing coming from down the hall.I walked up to Lisa's room where the sound was coming from and heard it more clearly there.I didn't hesitate and opened the door. When I stepped into the dark room, she was curled into a tight ball in the center of the bed, her shoulders shaking violently as she sobbed into her pillow. She was gasping for air, entirely consumed by the residual panic of that aisle. The drug had kept her body heavy, but it was starting to wear off and he

This is wrong

Lisa's POVWhen I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the smell.It wasn't the light, familiar scent of my own bedroom. The air was entirely filled with the heavy, rich aroma of Adrian's cologne, mixed with a faint trace of lavender fabric softener.I opened my eyes, blinking against the bright morning light, but my breath instantly caught in my throat.The room was vast, dominated by a heavy bookshelf and a double wooden dresser. I wasn't in my room. Then if this wasn't my room, who…?Slowly, my eyes rolled over the room and I realized I was lying in the bed of the master bedroom—tucked beneath the expensive, dark grey duvet of my sister's marital bed.A violent jolt of pure horror crashed through my system. I bolted upright, my heart hammering painfully against my ribs as I looked down at my clothes. Everything was intact, but the sheer reality of where I was made my stomach turn inside out.How did I even get here? What happened?"You're awake."I snapped my head towar

Did Adrian Touch You?

The car door threw open the second I reached the main road. Ethan didn't even wait for me to stop running; he leaned over across the passenger seat, pushing the door wide and pulling me inside by my arm.The moment the door slammed shut, separating me from the sight of the house, I collapsed against the dashboard, sobbing so hard my chest physically ached."Lisa! God, Lisa, look at me," Ethan panicked, his hands hitting my shoulders as he scrambled to put the car in drive and pull away from the curb. His eyes kept darting to the rearview mirror, checking the driveway to see if Adrian was coming after us and he wasn't. "What happened? Did he do something to you? Did Adrian touch you?"I couldn't speak. My throat was so tight from the crying and the suffocating guilt that no sound would come out. I just shook my head blindly, burying my face in my palms.Seeing that I was completely hysterical, Ethan didn't press me. He drove in a tense, rigid silence for ten minutes until he pull

You don't know the first thing about Family

Adrian's POVThe front door had remained open for a full minute after Lisa ran down the driveway. The cold morning breeze swept through the foyer, carrying away the lingering scent of her panic, but I didn't move to close it right away.I stood on the threshold, watching the distant silver car pull away from the curb at the end of the road.Ethan.A slow, unhurried breath left my lungs. I reached out, wrapped my fingers around the brass doorknob, and pulled the heavy wood shut, clicking the deadbolt into place with a clean, satisfying snap.The house was completely silent again.I walked back into the kitchen, picked up the cup of coffee I had brewed for her, and poured the dark liquid down the sink. I watched it swirl around the drain before disappearing entirely.Lisa had broken down. She had screamed at me, her face flushed with a beautiful, chaotic mix of terror and desire, completely unable to contain the force of her own guilt any longer. “You have no idea the kind of tho

I can't go alone

Ethan's POVThe silence inside the car after the call disconnected was so heavy it felt loud.I tossed the phone onto the dashboard. My hands were shaking so violently against the steering wheel that I had to clench my jaw to keep from losing control of the vehicle. Seven o'clock. There were still hours until I had to walk right back into that house and look at the man who was destroying the girl sitting right next to me.I cut a glance at Lisa. She was staring out the passenger window, her forehead resting against the cold glass, entirely numb. She had stopped crying, but that was worse—the quiet emptiness left behind looked like a shell.She had no idea.She was sitting there drowning in a well of her own made-up guilt, genuinely believing she was a terrible person because she woke up in her sister’s bed. She thought she was the one harboring forbidden, dangerous desires, completely oblivious to the fact that she had been taken advantage of on different nights, manipulated, a

I love you—platonically

Once the plates were cleared, the heavy silence settled over the table again, thick and suffocating. Adrian wiped his mouth with his cloth napkin, his movements unhurried as he looked between the two of us. "The roads are going to be quite bad with the storm rolling in," Adrian said smoothly, his eyes lingering on Ethan before shifting to me. "And since Lisa clearly feels much safer with you around, Ethan, why don't you sleep over? We have more than enough rooms." Ethan’s jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing slightly as he measured the invitation. He looked at me, taking in my rigid posture, and gave a sharp, single nod. "I'll stay." "Excellent," Adrian said, standing up. "Lisa, could you come into the kitchen for a moment? I'd like to speak with you for a moment." My heart plummeted. I looked across at Ethan, my eyes wide with a sudden, silent panic. Ethan didn't say anything, but he stood up and moved into the living room, positioning himself where he had a direct, unobstructed

I'll watch you

Adrian's POVI led Ethan down the hallway toward the guest room. The house was silent around us except for the muted patter of rain beginning to hit the glass windows and the humming of the heating system. He walked behind me, his footsteps heavy and deliberate. I could practically feel the heat of his rage radiating off him, a tightly coiled spring waiting for the moment we were out of Lisa's earshot.I stepped into the guest room, switching on the lights. But before I could even turn around to bid him goodnight, the door clicked shut behind us, and Ethan stepped directly into my space."I know the kind of games you're playing here," Ethan whispered, his voice trembling with a raw, dangerous venom. He stepped closer, his chest heaving. "That 'platonic love' bullshit in the kitchen. You're doing it on purpose. You're trying to manipulate her, pushing her until she completely loses her mind and confesses her feelings with her own mouth."I looked at him for a second, completely u

I knew you weren't so pure

When I pulled back, seeing that she was still completely unaware of what I was doing, a reckless, greedy desperation took over my brain. My hands were shaking as I reached down, opening my trousers and taking out my cock. ‘No one is going to know,’I told myself. ‘She'll never find out.’That was what I used to comfort myself as I began to stroke my cock, rubbing the head while looking at her, staring at her lips, imagining she had it in her mouth.I grunted, my breath coming out ragged as my hands began to stroke more quickly, stroking up and down while observing the gentle rise and fall of her chest. I imagined her making those same sounds she made while Adrian was fucking her for me. I pictured her curves under my body instead of his. Pictured her pleading for me to put my cock inside her.It was intense."Lisa… Lisa… Haa…" I muttered her name in a ragged, breathless whisper, my hands accelerating until the friction became too much, and I gripped the sheets hard, my toes curlin
