“No, Lacie, I wasn’t angry,” he replied. “There is no way I could be angry with you. It was after you left that I realized that this wasn’t a casual fling for me. I won’t lie anymore. When I first started seeing you, it was nothing but a sexual fantasy for me. There was something about you that made me want to touch you. I was infatuated with you. I wanted to sleep with you, and so I pretended to be the kind of guy you would like. It wasn’t until you left me that I realized this was more than just a casual affair. I realized that the orphanage meant a lot to you.”
I was surprised to hear this, but I let him continue.
“I was looking for a way to forgive myself. I tried calling you, but it looked like you had blocked me. I went to your home, but your apartment was locked. That was when I decided to talk to Leslie. She didn’t pick up my call either. I could feel my whole life shattering, and the only person with whom I wanted to talk about how much it was hurting was you. It didn’t take me long to realize that the ache I was feeling was love,” he continued.
I was trying to hold back tears at this point as he spoke.
“I won’t lie to you. I have been with a lot of people before, but there is something about you that meant more than just sex. Of course, the mere thought of getting inside your body makes me hard, but what I feel for you is more than just sex. I love you completely.”
It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard, and I couldn’t hold back anymore. I could feel the tears glistening in my eyes. I had never felt so beautiful before, and I had never felt so sure about my feelings for anyone like this before Nick.
“Nick, you make me feel beautiful. There is no one I would rather be with. I want to kiss you and make love to you, right here, right now. I want to love you every day and every night, and I want to spend the rest of my life waking up next to you.”
Nick kissed me deeply once again, and I didn’t want the kiss to stop. We were busy touching each other and kissing when a voice jerked the two of us.
“Lacie! Nicholas! What are you two doing?”
As we broke the kiss and stared at the direction where the voice was coming from, I found my mom standing there with a flabbergasted expression on her face.
“Shit, this is not going to go well. We’re so fucked. It is going to be harder to explain,” I murmured to myself, and Nick echoed my sentiments.
Mom was fuming when she approached us, and I could see the disgust on her face. “Lacie, are you crazy? What the fuck were you doing? Don’t you now Nicholas is your goddamn brother now! Have you really lost it?”
She turned to Nicholas and hesitated, debating what to say. They didn’t quite have a formal introduction yet, and Mom wasn’t quite aware of how much she should say. However, judging from the look on her face, she was equally disgusted by him, too.
“Mom, we need to tell you something,” I said with a shaky voice.
“What on earth are you going to tell me that will justify what I saw? God forbid, have some mercy, Jesus!”
“We love each other,” Nick and I said at the same time.
The look on Mom’s face was that of sheer horror and exasperation. It was as if someone had sucked life out of her. She couldn’t quite believe what she had just heard.
Nick gestured for me to be quiet and he went on to tell her how we had met, the way we had known each other long before coming to the wedding. He even mentioned that we had slept together, and that we were in love. “There is no way we can behave like siblings, because we love each other, more than anything else.”
Mom stood there, shocked and silent.
“Lacie, you need to leave. This can’t happen. Whatever happened between the two of you is your past. Nicholas is your brother now. You simply can’t date. The sooner you understand that, the better it is for you.”
“She is not my biological sister,” Nick retorted, “and I am never going to see her as one. I have slept with her, and I intend to sleep with her again and do it for the rest of my life. Just because you married my father doesn’t mean I need to give up on the love of my life.”
I stood there looking at Mom and Nick, not knowing how to sort out the mess, but I was sure I was not letting Nick get taken away.
Chapter 10: The Eternal Kiss
Mom looked at both of us angrily and stomped out of the place. She understood that trying to convince us was a lost cause, because we were too deeply in love to settle for any alternative.
“Nick, what are we going to do?”
“Don’t worry Lacie—there is nothing that can separate us. If they do not accept the love we have, we will settle somewhere else. I am sure they will eventually come to terms with it after some time.”
“I wish Nick, I wish! I really can’t live—”
My sentence was cut off midway as I heard a very loud noise. “Nicholas Rudolph Jackson, where are you?”
This was the first time I had heard Nick’s full name, and I could very well understand how furious Ralph was. He was fuming when he came in and looked at both of us with disgust.
“Are you out of your mind? How could you even think about dating your sister! Nicholas, this disgusts me. I expected a lot better from you.”
“Dad, she is not my sister. We were dating before I came to know about your marriage. In fact, I proposed to her in the church itself, as we didn’t know that our own parents were getting married. I am really happy for you, and I am glad that you are choosing to take another shot at your life, but this doesn’t mean that I can give up my love. We are not biologically related, and I have every reason to love her. Absolutely nothing will make me feel otherwise.”
“What is so hard to understand, Nicholas? This is not the way it works. You can’t date your goddamn sister!”
“She is not my sister, Dad. She is your stepdaughter, but that doesn’t make her my sister. Did I object to your marriage when I came to know about it? When I could be understanding enough to not let my feelings hamper your love, why can’t I expect the same from you?”
Nick had a point, but no matter how hard we tried, our parents were simply unable to be convinced. They felt that we were committing a sin, but one needs to understand love is not a sin. There is no way people can rule out the existence of love. The fact that Nick and I had been in love even before we were stepsiblings solidified the point that we couldn’t just change the way we felt for each other.
I felt helpless, as I didn’t want to be the reason my mother’s marriage would start out troubled, but there was no way I could let my love for Nick fade away. I prayed for God to show me a way to sort out the mess, but it looked like I was stuck in a place with no exit.
As I kept thinking and wondering about all these things, the stress began to take its toll, and my mind started spinning. I could feel the whole world swirling, and even before I could say anything, I found myself falling in an endless state of darkness.
“Nick,” was perhaps the last word I said before I fell to the floor, unconscious.
***
When I woke up, I was in a room, and I saw Nick, Mom, and Ralph sitting next to my bed.
“Babe, are you okay?” I heard Nick ask, and I nodded my head.
Mom was the next one to ask if I was alright, and so did Ralph. Before I could form a coherent response, I ended up crying, and tears rolled down my eyes. Nobody needed to ask me the reason for my tears, as they were all aware of it.
“Lacie, darling, I don’t know what to say,” my mother whispered and kissed me on the forehead. “I love you and I hope you know that. It is just a very ugly situation we all found ourselves to be in.”
“Love is not ugly, Mom,” I whispered and she nodded. I did understand that she was in a terrible position, but was it so hard to understand love?
“Mom, I am in love with Nick. We aren’t biological siblings. What is so hard to accept? Even if we part ways, do you really think it is possible for the two of us to treat each other as siblings after the feelings that we have?”
When no one
replied anything, Nick came closer and sat by my bed and took my hand in his. “I am not leaving, Lacie, no matter what,” he stated. He then pressed his lips on mine and kissed me right in front of our parents, expressing what he meant. I kissed him back and our tongues danced together.
We were not apprehensive of what others would think, because we were in love, and that was all that mattered for us. Mom and Ralph turned away, as they didn’t quite know what to say. It was really hard for them.
“I will think about it. I will need some time. Is that alright with the two of you? Do you promise not to do anything reckless?”
We both nodded, and Nick whispered in my ears, “Don’t worry honey. I have condoms.” I couldn’t help but smile. Nick was literally a sex god.
Ralph and Mom were supposed to leave for their honeymoon. I knew that both of them were a little apprehensive, but we were both grownups, and there was nothing that they could do to us. They hugged us and asked us to be sensible and not to do anything foolish, then left. Mom promised to think about it on her honeymoon, and when she came back, she said we would find a way amicably as a family.
I knew that no matter what they decided, our decision was made. Life doesn’t always gives everyone a love story. Now that I had one, there was no way I was going to let it go. However, I simply nodded for the time being and let her go.
***
After seeing them off, we both sat down in Nick’s car, and he looked at me with his predatory eyes that promised a hot time.
“What are you looking at, Nick?”
“That cleavage and those nipples that are screaming my name.”
“Nick!” I blushed.
“I can’t wait to worship your body again. We’re going to do it right now.”
“Now, in the car?
“What? Do you doubt me or my skills?”
Nick rolled up the windows of the car and revved up the heater. It started getting really hot, between both the heat and our chemistry, and I expressed it to him.
“Lacie, darling, why don’t you take off your clothes if you’re feeling so hot?” he teased, then took away my top in a flick. He then took off my bra and hungrily cupped my breasts, and the sensation of his touch tickled them.
I moaned in delight, and he kissed the top of my nipples and lowered the seat so I could almost lie down. He climbed over the top of me and buried his face in my neck. He kept kissing me passionately, and I took off his coat and shirt and rubbed my fingers on his bare neck. Nick stuffed his fingers inside my panties and rubbed me under my skirt. I was swollen and wet, and he loved the way my body reacted to his touch. He unzipped his pants and quickly slipped a condom on, and without wasting another moment, he stuck his cock inside me.
This time, I didn’t have to wait another minute as my orgasm shook me the moment he entered. It was as if I was waiting for him to enter and conquer me.
“Oh, Nick. I have waited for you. I have wanted you to ram me for so long. There is nowhere I would rather be.”
“Hmm. Me too. I love you.” Nick could barely speak as he was too busy kissing my nipples and then went further down to lick my pussy. Once there, he let his tongue dance, and it kept making me passionate and hot.
“Take me home, spread me on the bed, I want to roll over it naked with you,” I whispered.
Nick agreed but didn’t let me dress myself. He drove the car while we were both half-naked, and he let one of his hands rest on my breast. I kept nuzzling his neck and kissing him, and he gave me some sexy looks.
The moment we reached my home, he took me in his lap and let my long hair cover my bare breasts and quickly rushed inside.
Nick could barely wait, because the moment we were inside, he gently sprawled me on the bed and took off my skirt and lacy panties. He unzipped his pants, and he threw them on the floor, along with his boxers, and I could see how hard he really was. He kissed the inside of my thigh, and then planted a long kiss on the entire length of my swollen pussy. He let his tongue push inside me, and I could once again find my orgasm coming.
“Hold it, Lacie. Hold it because I want to feel it together,” he said.
It was hard, and my hips arched, but I tried my best not to let the orgasm climax. Nick then made me sit halfway and once again pushed inside me with full force. His penis went deep inside me, and when we looked into each other’s eyes, we could feel the way we were connected.
This was one man I would never get tired of having sex with. It felt like I was exploring a new body, and it still felt like home.
He kissed me, and I kissed back, and we let every inch of our bodies touch as we became two bodies with one soul.
“I love you, Nick.”
“I love you too, Lacie.”
Our bodies rocked as Nick pushed deeper still, and our orgasms crashed together, and we could both feel like we were flying through the air. Nick rolled above me and whispered, “Today, we will break some records in terms of how many orgasms a human can have in a day. Ready to roll, honey?”
I licked his soft nipples, and he knew the answer was yes. It was always yes.
Epilogue
“Lacie, how long are you going to take? It’s getting late,” Mom called.
“I am almost done, Mom.”
I moved out of the room, and Mom almost cried with happiness. “You look beautiful, darling.”
As I stepped down the stairs, I saw Nick looking handsome as ever in his black tuxedo, with his dad by his side.
It wasn’t a conventional wedding, and I knew that we were still stepsiblings, but what really mattered was that we were in love. Leslie was my maid of honor, and as I walked down the aisle, I couldn’t take my eyes off Nick. He kept staring at me like I was the only thing he had ever desired.
It was hard to convince our parents, but they had finally bowed down to the power of love, because in the end, it is love and love alone that makes the world a better place. It took us two years of staying apart to finally make them see that we were soul mates who were made from the same stardust.
No matter how far we went, we would always find a way back to each other.
As I stood beside Nick, ready to exchange our vows, Nick couldn’t help but smile. Neither could I.
“Nick, you sure about this?” I whispered.
“Yes, honey. Of course. You?”
“Absolutely.”
“Do you know what I have in my pockets?” he whispered even more lightly.
“What?” I asked and was very curious to know the answer. I wondered if he had got me some kind of a gift.
“Condoms,” he said, and I laughed. After all, only Nick would have carried condoms to his wedding night.
We kissed and this time, the kiss never ended.

Excerpt from Gripped: A Stepbrother Romanc
e
“Well, congratulations,” I said as I turned back to my suitcase. I spread out the mountain of clothing so it lay flat in a haphazard mess. “I’m glad I didn’t have to ruin my hands punching this one in the face too.”
“You still can.” She chuckled. “Wait, why are you packing?”
“I’m going to a hotel.” I zipped up the suitcase, lifting it to sit on its wheels.
She advanced into the room, her features a mixture of anger and disbelief.
“You’re leaving? Reid, Dad invited you to stay here. How do you think he’d feel if you left just like that?”
“How do you think he’d feel if he found out what we did?”
A long and heavy silence followed that statement. My words and the memories they inspired hung there between us, taking up too much space, overwhelming us. This complicated mess was way too much for either of us to handle. At least too much for me to handle.
“It’s just so typical of you.” She spoke softly, her voice laced with disappointment. It set me on edge, fuelling my own anger too. “As soon as things don’t go the way you want it to, you bail. You always bail.” Her face pink, she moved closer, her brown eyes glittering with the anger that refused to relent. “You never stick around. Not to talk or work things out. You run. You run like a fucking coward.”
The air felt alive somehow. My skin was too hot despite the light sweater I had on. My heart beat faster than normal. A coward? She thought I was a coward? For years I’d fought against what I felt for her until all I could do was disappear. How the fuck did you ‘talk’ or ‘work’ out a situation where you had fallen in love with your stepsister?
“And what about you, Mac?” I stepped toward her, crowding her space. When she backed up, I followed. “Wanna know what you do when the going gets tough? You ignore it. You stick your damn head in the sand and act like if you pretend it isn’t happening it’ll go away.”
She pressed against the dresser and stared up at me with wide eyes. Her lips parted, she breathed fast and deep like if I was blocking her oxygen. I intended to do just that. I was going to kiss her so hard, she’d hit me to let her go. No amount of rationalization was going to stop me either. I was a coward? Far from it. She was about to learn that much.
