Stepbrother Desire (Erotica)

“What’s going on?” he asked, thoroughly confused. “I thought you were seeing someone. Our sisters think you’re seeing someone.”

Danni smiled and shrugged. “I am.” She leaned forwards and tried to nuzzle his chest. He stopped her.

“I’m seeing you,” she clarified.

Mike shook his head. “Danni, this isn’t funny.”

“Mike, I don’t care what you think you have to do. You are the love of my life. I’m not giving that up. That would make me the biggest idiot to ever live.”

“Danni, stop this!”

She smiled infuriatingly at him. “Why would I give up the best thing that ever happened to me? Don’t you see? You aren’t going to be rid of me that easily.”

“Danni, this is crazy! You’re my sister!”

Danni shrugged. “I don’t care.”

“You can’t, WE can’t!” Mike sputtered.

Danni shrugged again. “I love you, Mike. I’ve loved you since the first night you held me after the frat party. You are my brother, true, but you are SO much more than that. You’re my other half. You’re my person. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.”

“Danni…”

“Mike…” she said. “Look at me and tell me that you don’t still love me just as much as you did before you left.”

Mike sighed. “Of course I still love you, but that’s not the point.”

“You think too much. Here’s a naked woman two inches from you, someone you just admitted that you love, and you won’t take her to the bedroom and make love to her.”

“She’s got a point.”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

‘Not helping!’

“That’s the idea.”

“Danni, come on,” he said.

“Mike, even if you leave tonight and redeploy for another four years, I’ll still be waiting here when you get back. You can leave and get married to someone else. I’ll still be waiting. You can become a monk and swear off sex. You can move to another country. You can ignore me. I’ll still be waiting here for you. I love you,” she said, taking his face in her hands.

“Danni, don’t you see this is impossible?” he asked.

“I don’t see it that way,” she said.

“I can’t give you the life you want!” he yelled at her.

“A life without you is not a life I want!” she yelled back.

“I can’t give you children!” he yelled.

“Who says? So the risks are higher. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. I’m not even sure I want kids.”

“We won’t be able to even get married, Danni.”

She sighed. “Mike, listen to me. You love me. I can feel it. I know it. You know just as much as I do that love isn’t a tangible thing. You can’t measure it. You can’t quantify it. It defies all explanation and just when you think you’ve figured it out, it changes. Love is the one true power in the universe. If your love is pure, then nothing can touch it. Nothing can tear it apart. If I get to spend my life with you, I’ll be a happy woman. Marriage? It’s words on a paper. It’s an expensive ring and a ceremony in front of our friends and family. Having time with you is so much more important.”

Mike sighed and shook his head. “I don’t want to hurt you!”

“I’m not afraid of being hurt, Mike. Being hurt is how we truly know we’ve found something worth risking it all for. Emotional pain is one of humanity’s greatest strengths. It’s how we know how much we truly loved someone. If a man is left by his wife and is tormented every day by how much he misses her, imagine how much he loved her, and still loves her.”

She sighed and looked up into his eyes again.

“If you don’t love me, then you can leave and I won’t mention it ever again.”

He looked up at her. “I never stopped loving you, not even for a second.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out the, by now, very frayed ribbon.

She smiled and wiped a tear. “You see? You already know that this is okay. This is right. This is how we’re supposed to end up.”

He shook his head, defeated.

“Mike, look at me,” she said.

He looked up at her. “You saved me that night, when you rescued me, and then again when you held me. You saved me from a horrible nightmare, so many times. The accident, the rape, every night that you slept with me and protected me from the monsters in the dark. It’s in your nature to protect me. You were more concerned with how I was going to react than our sisters. Why do you think that is?”

He was quiet for a moment. “Because I love you.”

“You’ve been protecting me for so long, love, that you’ve forgotten that sometimes you need rescuing too. It’s my turn to save you, even if you are a big bad Marine.”

Mike smiled at her then, and accepted the hug that she offered, lifting her easily up in his arms.

“I kept your apartment paid while you were gone, and I never stopped believing that you would come back to me,” she said, her head leaning across his shoulder, her arms and legs wrapped around him.

“God I’ve missed you,” he said, pulling back and kissing her.

“I love you,” she said, looking directly into his eyes.

“I love you too,” he replied, and started to carry her into the bedroom.

He kicked the door open and saw his old bed and smiled.

“You know this is crazy, right?” he said as he laid her down on the bed.

She smiled. “I know. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ll take you as long as I can get you.”

Mike chuckled and stood to pull off his shirt.

“Ooh, do it slowly for me,” she said giggling.

Mike grinned and began to wiggle around goofily. He pulled his shirt off then and she smiled and licked her lips. “Damn baby, you look so good,” she said.

“The Marines will do that,” he said, smiling.

She giggled as he briefly flexed for her.

He pulled off his jeans and underwear then.

“God I’ve missed that guy,” she said, licking her lips.

“Nope, your turn first,” he said pushing her back onto the bed.

“Oooh, if you say so,” she said with a grin.

He winked and knelt on the edge of the bed. “I don’t mind saying that you were my go-to fantasy back when I was deployed.”
