Stepbrother Desire (Erotica)

Emily sat in one of her dad’s oversized shirts, painting her toenails when her phone buzzed. She set the brush down and peered down at the small device. It was Mike.

She smiled as she replied to him, and then stood to get dressed.

Twenty minutes later, he was sitting in an easy chair in her living room, looking tired and more than a little irritated.

“So what’s the matter?” she asked.

“Is your dad here?” he asked, ignoring her question.

She shook her head. “He’s still at work.”

Mike nodded and seemed to relax. “I just wanna talk about personal stuff.”

She smiled at him and nodded. “I’m here for whatever you need.”

“HELL YEAH!”

‘Not what she meant,’ he thought.

“Danni was in a car wreck last night,” he started.

“OH MY GOD!” Emily said, holding her hands to her face in shock.

Mike raised a hand to calm her. “She’s okay, mostly. She got a cut on her cheek and has a broken leg, but other than that, she seems to be okay.”

Emily still had her hands up to her face. “Oh my god! What happened?”

“Well, it was that same guy that’s been pulling shit for the past couple of months.”

“Oh no!” Emily said.

“According to the police, he tried to ram her off an overpass and when she slammed on the brakes, he flew over the railing and hit the road below. He died on impact.”

“Oh my god!” Emily repeated. She tended to have a hard time moving past her initial shock when things like this happened. Eventually, Mike got her calmed down and they moved past the particulars of the accident.

“Well, just tell her that if she needs anything that I’ll be happy to help.”

“I will,” Mike said, and fell silent.

Emily felt the air between them get uncomfortable.

“What?” she asked.

“That’s not really why I came over.”

“Oh,” she said. “Well, what’s up?”

Mike shifted nervously in his chair as she stood.

“Can I get you some tea?”

“Thanks,” he said, nodding.

She headed to the cabinet and got a glass down, filled it with ice and poured some sweet tea for him.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

He fidgeted with the glass, obviously not wanting to broach the subject.

“Mike, you can tell me anything,” she said. “Remember, I’ve told you about tons of sex that I’ve had with men, women, and maybe a few others. You can’t shock me.”

“I’m just not used to talking about this,” he said.

“Well,” she said, thinking. “Just start wherever you feel comfortable.”

He was silent for several long moments. Finally he cleared his throat and looked up at her.

“So you know what’s been going on with my sisters and me?”

She smiled, blushing a little. She cleared her throat. “I figured it was about this.”

Mike blushed then. “I uh… I’ve… well… fucked up.”

“Oh my god!” Emily exclaimed. “Which one is it? Emma?”

“What?” he asked, genuinely confused.

“Pregnant! Which one?”

“Oh god,” Mike said, shaking his head. “No, no, no! None of them are pregnant, as far as I know.” He shook his head repeatedly.

“Oh. Sorry.”

“No, it’s not that, thank God.”

“Sorry,” she said again.

He laughed nervously.

“Dude, that’s not cool.”

He ran a hand through his hair before speaking.

“When you and I went out, I still couldn’t remember anything from the past year. I kept having headaches that night, but I couldn’t remember anything. When we were standing out in front of your house and I kissed you, however, it all came flooding back.” He took a long swig of his tea then before continuing.

“After I went home, I decided to tell Danni, but none of my other sisters.”

Emily looked at him oddly. “Okay…” she said. “Can I ask a few questions first?”

Mike nodded.

“So they each know that you’re sleeping with the other sisters?” He nodded. “They share you equally, or is there like a schedule?”

Mike chuckled, not realizing how silly it all sounded. “Well,” he said smiling, “I mean, I can draw you a diagram.”

She shook her head. “Just a rough overview is fine,” she said, smiling.

“Well, Danni gets most of the nights. It started out as a means for her to feel protected, and then eventually it just kind of happened. Honestly, I don’t really know how all of my other sisters got involved, but that’s not the important part. They share me, but there aren’t any set rules. I try and spend time with each of them, but there’s only so much time in the day.”

“So they’re okay with sharing you then?”

“For the most part, I guess,” he said. “I mean, I guess it’s kind of like an open relationship. Or maybe like a plural marriage, except we aren’t married. Hell, I don’t know what the hell to call it,” he said finally, giving up.

“So you didn’t tell anyone but Danni, continue,” she said.

“I know how it sounds. I had good intentions,” he said. “Kinda. You see, I just wanted some time with each of my sisters, without them coming and jumping me.”

The look on her face spoke volumes.

“I know, saying it out loud makes it sound absurd. The point is that I didn’t tell my other sisters right off. I told Emma a day or so later, and I told Beth after that, this previous weekend at the cabin. I hadn’t told Sarah about remembering until the accident. It kind of slipped out and she’s furious.”

“Understandably. I’d be mad too. Didn’t your other sisters think she’d be upset?”

“They mentioned that a time or two,” he said, a sheepish look on his face.

She smiled at that. “You’re obviously the Alpha in those relationships,” she said.

“How’s that?”
