Chapter 5

I swallowed hard. I had nothing to go with but the truth, so I let it all out. “I… wanted you to see my body.”

“You wanted me to see you naked.”

“Yes.”

“Why is that?”

I was trembling at this point. I wrung my hands in an attempt to keep them still. “I… I wanted you to touch me.”

“I’m not supposed to touch you. You’re well aware of that.”

I nodded. “I just… needed to feel it. I’ve needed it for so long, Liam—” My voice broke off, and my eyes fell in shame to the floor. I had done myself a disservice by staying with Ethan all those years. He was my first everything, and yet I’d never really felt a thing with him. I had thought for so long that he was the one. My mother loved him and admired his WASPy family. My friends called him Prince Charming. He was only twenty-six when he sold his first start-up for a cool two million dollars and decided to make me his wife. But I felt no pleasure around him. I felt more pleasure thinking about my stepbrother than I did while having actual sex with Ethan.

“I’m sorry, Liam,” I finally exhaled. “I just wanted to know what it felt like to… feel good. To feel satisfaction.”

Liam tipped my chin firmly up. “And did you find out?” I locked my knees at the sight of his anger. It was as sexy as it was intimidating, and it turned my legs into jelly.

“Yes.”

“How good did you feel last night, Sasha?”

“Better than I’ve ever felt in my life.”

“Did you like taking my cock in your mouth?” he asked. When I nodded, his lip curled. “Say it.”

“I liked taking your cock in my mouth.”

His strong grip spread to cup my jaw. “You realize that I’m your stepbrother, right?”

“Yes.”

He backed me up against the wall. “You realize that this is wrong, baby. Don’t you?”

“Yes.”

“I had one rule I said I’d never break, and you forced me to, Sasha. I felt fucking out of control. I’m the person who wants to take care of you, and if I had taken advantage of you, I couldn’t live with myself.”

“You didn’t, Liam. And I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be.” Gripping my face, fixing his glare on mine, Liam grabbed hold of my flimsy neckline. I gasped as he ripped it down, exposing me again. He stared into my eyes as he grabbed my breasts, roughly fondling them, sucking sharp breaths in between his clenched teeth as his fingers kneaded and massaged. I was frozen, paralyzed with shock and arousal as Liam’s hand tore the thin cotton clean off my body, tossing it aside like some worthless rag.

“Just know,” he muttered, sliding his rough hand down the front of my shorts and into my panties. His hand on my jaw grew firmer as I moaned, feeling his fingers stroke the length of my soaking wetness.

“That I was never going to break that seal, Sash. I’d have no control around you, and I knew that.” Liam slid his fingers inside me, soaking in my wide-eyed look as my walls pulsed with instant need around him.

“I was going to keep all those urges locked away,” he murmured, his thrust picking up speed. “But you opened up Pandora’s box, and now I know.” He pinned me up against the wall as my legs gave out. “Now I know how those perfect tits feel in my hands. I know how those pretty lips feel wrapped around my cock. And I know just how fucking tight this little pussy is.”

Liam pressed me hard against the wall as he thrust his fingers in and out of me with ruthless abandon, muttering the sexiest filth an inch from my face as he got me to come. The orgasm ripped from my lips. He clamped his hand over my mouth, snarling with satisfaction as hot pleasure shot straight to my core, crumbling me against the wall.

“And all I can say is if you think that feels good, just you fucking wait till I bury every inch of my cock inside you,” Liam growled, smoothing my palm over his hard-on. I moaned and writhed, craving it so desperately inside me.

“You want it?”

“Yes,” I panted, gasping weakly as he threw me onto his bed. I barely landed on my stomach before he pulled me to the edge of the mattress and tore down my shorts. I clutched the sheets, sensing his rising palm without even looking. I cried out when I felt Liam bring it down in a hard spank on my right cheek.

“I’m going to have fun punishing you for that little stunt, Sasha,” he smirked, his voice hoarse in my ear as he lay on top of me. I felt the weight of his body on my back and heard the metal jangling of his belt buckle. With a heavy drop, his erection fell hot between my thighs. My panties still on, Liam started thrusting.

“Would you like to know where I intend on fucking you?”

“Yes, please.”

“I’m going to fuck you against the window for everyone to see.” He thrust against me between his every answer. “I’m going to fuck you in the stairwell. I’m going to fuck you in the backseat of my car while we’re on the way to the gym. I’m going to fuck you in my office with the door open. I’m going to make sure everyone hears how loud I make you scream my name, Sasha.”

“But they know…” I moaned deliriously as he flipped me onto my back and rubbed my pussy over my panties, jerking off as he hovered over me.

“What do they know, Sasha?”

“I’m your stepsister. That you’re not supposed to…”

“You’re right. I’m not. And I wasn’t going to, but you decided to make that choice impossible for me last night, and I’m not one to take half-measures. So if I’m fucking you, Sasha, everyone is going to know it. I don’t hide my choices, and I’m sure as shit not going to hide you anymore if I don’t have to. Now push those perfect tits together,” he demanded. I obliged, and he slid his silky cock between my breasts, thrusting powerfully and groaning down at me with every long stroke.

“You don’t know how long I’ve wanted this body, Sasha. You have no fucking clue.”

I’ve wanted you for longer, I wanted to say, but sensation was rocketing to my clit as Liam pumped furiously, using my body just as I wanted him to. I moaned, pushing my breasts together, molding them tighter to his shaft as I felt him swell even harder between me. I watched in awe when he finally jerked his cock and, with a roar, came all over my breasts, drawing back to growl and admire his thick, pearly handiwork.

“You have no idea how many times I’ve fantasized about this image.” He cupped my right breast and rubbed a drop of his seed over my hard nipple like a lush body cream. My jaw dropped. I couldn’t help but love the way he staked his claim on me. It was simple, carnal, and easily the sexiest thing I’d ever felt.

“I’m going to do everything I’ve ever dreamt of doing to you, Sasha,” Liam muttered. “Do you hear me?”

“Yes.”

“Good.”

I bit my lip, so overcome with dizzy satisfaction that it barely occurred to me that I looked completely obvious walking out of Liam’s bedroom. My cheeks were flushed, my hair was a mess, and since he had torn my top off, I was wearing one of Liam’s T-shirts. Luckily, A.J and Max had already left to probably get food, since they ate about twelve meals a day, and Jenna had predictably followed, leaving Aria alone in the living room, twiddling on her phone until she glanced up. One look at me, and her jaw dropped.

“What just…?” Her eyes flicked to Liam as he came up behind me. From the sound of it, he was only just pulling up his zipper.

“Oh my – halle-fucking-lujah!” Aria screamed before bursting into a bunch of giddy squeals and proceeding to embarrass the ever-loving shit out of me. “Liam! Did you two just…? Omigod, you have no idea how long she’s wanted this, Liam! Since the day she walked in on you at the dinner party!”

The look he gave me suggested that he had no idea that had ever happened. A dirty smirk spread across his lips, and as my cheeks burned, I shook my head, trying but failing to get used to this bizarre new reality. I was fooling around with my stepbrother, my best friend had just found out, and the rest of the world was about to as well. I had to laugh.

At least until I thought about my older sister, Riley. I had never told her about my feelings for Liam because she was the first to declare her love for him, meaning she had dibs if our parents ever divorced. But she was married now, so it couldn’t be a big deal, right? Of course, my mother would probably still lose her mind. Liam’s father, too. Shit.

Suddenly, I remembered why Liam and I were so very wrong together. I wanted it. I was certain I needed it, and honestly, I didn’t regret a second of it. But in my heat, I had briefly forgotten how much chaos would come with it.

“Come on, let’s get something to eat,” Liam murmured to me, his hand on the small of my back as he ushered me out the door. I smiled at him despite my racing pulse, walking out and forcing myself to giggle with Aria as I reminded myself that it was all on me. I was the one who had opened Pandora’s box.
