“Us two?” I pretend weakly. “Who? What do you mean?” Alex takes a step closer, his eyes narrowing. The cool water continues streaming over my burned hand, and he yanks the tap off with an aggressive flick of his fingers. Then, without breaking eye contact, he reaches up to the kitchen roll and tears a piece off. He reaches for my wet hand with his giant paw and even though he’s furious with me, he’s gentle as he presses the paper towel to the wound, dabbing it. I stare up at his towering frame, at his jaw, taut with anger, and I wonder if it would help if I kissed his lips. His perfectly shaped, soft looking lips.
But I don’t get a chance because Alex steps away then before yanking open a kitchen drawer. He takes out a much-used tube of after-burn ointment and a bandage. It makes sense after all. Living with two mechanics means that we have a lot of first-aid stuff on hand, and Alex is well-versed in dealing with burns after coming in contact with all sorts of hot machinery on a daily basis. He applies the ointment gently to the red area of skin, and then sticks the bandage into place. But he’s still glowering.
“Thanks,” I breathe, hoping we can leave this conversation be. But it’s not in the cards, it seems, because Alex looks back into my eyes and he’s determined to have it out.
“No, we’re not done yet,” my stepbrother says in a tense voice, and I can tell he’s trying to get his rage under control. “Why don’t you try being honest with me, Elle?” I can feel my cheeks color as my heart thuds in my chest. I don’t want to be honest about this. I don’t want anyone to even know about this!
“Honest about what?” I feign.
“Damn it, Elle!” he rages. “I heard you last night! Anyone would have heard you guys because you were like a pack of wild animals!”
“Okay, okay,” I say soothingly, putting my hands up. They’re trembling. I’m trying to stay calm but my heart seems intent on punching holes though my chest. “What is it you think you heard?”
“Are you shitting me?” Alex spits, coming closer to me, veins popping in his neck. “Are you really going to continue with this farce like I’m some kind of dipshit? I heard you and Hunter, what else? Having sex!” he rages. My jaw trembles, and I’m speechless.
“We - I - it’s not what you think,” I stammer stupidly.
“Oh really?” Alex drawls in a sarcastic tone. “Let me see if there are two ways to cut this. No, no there aren’t. The undeniable fact is that you’re having sex with your own stepfather. You’re letting the man who’s a father figure to you fuck your little pussy.” I shake my head, unable to speak. “But you know what?” he continues, stepping closer so his massive form looms over my smaller frame. “I don’t even care about that.”
“Then why are you so angry?” I whisper, almost unable to breathe.
“Because, if you’re getting fucked, Elle,” he growls dangerously, “it shouldn’t be by some creep more than twice your age. It should be by me.” This time, I’m speechless. I know Alex has been eyeing my curves a lot, and I could tell he’s been trying to hide the fact that he was aroused by me. But I didn’t realize the extent to which he wanted me, to the point that he’s this insanely obsessive. This is getting crazy. It’s time I stop playing the fool and admit what’s going on between me and Hunter because it’s the only way I can ensure that the truth is the only version of events.
“You’re right,” I finally admit. “Hunter and I hooked up last night.” Alex’s eyes flash at my confession, his jaw and fists clenching with anger. “But it was the first time, I swear. And we didn’t have sex, Alex. It was just oral.”
“Bullshit!” he scoffs. “You expect me to believe that? What man would stop with oral when you have such a delectable, nubile body practically begging for filthy hard fucks? Come on, get real.”
My lips quiver.
“I am being real,” I whisper, my pupils dilating as I stare at the gorgeous mechanic. “Hunter didn’t do more except kiss me down there.”
Alex takes a step closer to me, almost threatening with his massive size. “Really? Well, maybe I should be the one to take you to the next level then. We won’t leave that up to our dear old dad because he’s too old for this kind of shit. What do think about that, Elle? Would you like that?”
I gasp and blink, my heart racing even as my pussy contracts because it sounds amazing … and I wouldn’t mind one bit.

“I’m sorry I lied,” I breathe, looking into Alex’s eyes. “I know I shouldn’t have. Okay? Trust me, I get it. I just… I’m just so confused about it all. I wasn’t ready to talk about it yet. Or even admit it was really happening.”
