Forbidden Sins: One Night With My Stepbrother

Chapter 2

The Farewell Notice

Nadia

I lay on my bed, staring at the diamond anklet wrapped around my wrist like a bracelet. My thumb traced over the glittering stones.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Caden’s easy smile. I remembered the warmth of his hand around mine. See you at dinner, Nadia.

My stomach fluttered.

He was my stepbrother. My mother married his father, and we were supposed to be like siblings. Maybe that was why I kept trying to tell myself there was nothing strange about the way I felt around him.

But actually, it was strange because what I felt for Caden wasn’t something I could easily explain. It didn’t feel like the affection I had for a brother. It felt different, and the more I tried to understand it, the more confused I became, especially when I thought about how sweet Caden could be sometimes.

He was probably just being a brother. Caden couldn’t possibly look at me that way. He was a woman’s man, always with a different girlfriend. There was probably nothing special about me. The gift was just a good gesture.

Yet anytime I thought of him, I felt like my heart was about to explode, the tingling sensation I felt underneath my c**t, my hands slowly traced down and I was already soaking wet. I was wet thinking of my stepbrother.

I slowly rubbed around my c**t, closing my eyes and imagining his hands on it and sucking my wetness, my hands continued circling around it, then I felt the tension subside, the one you feel when you orgasm! I came thinking of Caden!

I almost jumped when a loud bang sounded against my bedroom door.

“Nadia!” my mother’s voice called from the other side. “You need to get ready!”

“I’m almost done!” I called back, my voice shaking slightly as I quickly sat up and pushed the anklet back into its box. And ran to the bathroom to clean up as my p***y was still dripping with my c*m.

I quickly pulled my black dress out of the closet and slipped it on, standing in front of the mirror as I tugged at the side zipper. I already knew the dress was gonna piss my mother off but I didn’t care.

Before I could even reach for my makeup, the door swung open anyway.

My mother, Diana, stepped into the room. She was already dressed for the gala in a red silk gown, her diamonds catching the light. She looked me over from head to toe, her expression tightening.

“What is that?” Diana asked, gesturing at my dress.

“My dress for tonight,” I said, my hands smoothing over the dress.

“Absolutely not. Change it,” she said sharply. “Arthur has photographers coming to the dinner. The black dress makes it seem like you're dressed for a funeral. Find something appealing. Maybe the blue dress I gifted you last month.”

I swallowed the lump in my throat. The blue dress doesn’t suit me, Mom.”

“Then make it fit,” she snapped as she walked over to my bed. She dropped a heavy, beautifully wrapped silver box onto the mattress. “And do it quickly. Don’t make us wait.”

I stared at the silver box. My mother wasn’t the type to give gifts. She barely acknowledged my birthdays anymore.

“What is this?”

“A graduation gift,” Diana said, crossing her arms. “Go on. Open it.”

I walked over and pulled the ribbon. Inside was a luxury watch.

I stared at it for a moment. I was still surprised she had even thought to do this.

“Thank you,” I murmured, looking up at her.

Diana crossed her arms. “I’m glad you like it. It’s also… a farewell gift, Nadia.”

The words caught me off guard. “A farewell gift?”

“Now that you’ve graduated from university, you’re an adult,” Diana said, her tone cold. “There’s no reason for you to continue living under Arthur’s roof. I’ve already had an agent secure a small studio apartment for you across town. You have to be gone by tomorrow.”

The reality hit me. She wasn’t doing this because I was an adult. She was worried about gossip. Having her daughter from a failed marriage living under the same roof as Arthur and his family could affect her place in their world.

“Does Arthur know about this?” I whispered.

“Arthur agrees that independence is best for you,” Diana lied smoothly. “It’s time to move on, Nadia. We don’t want people talking about you living here.”

I looked at my mother and realized there was no point in begging. She had already decided.

“Fine. I’ll be out by tomorrow.”

Diana’s shoulders relaxed. She stepped forward and gave my arm a quick pat.

“Good. Change the dress and fix your makeup before you come down. I’ll see you at dinner.”

She turned and left, clicking the door shut behind her.

I stood there for a moment, staring at the door.

Then the tears came before I could stop them.

Tomorrow, I’d be forced to leave this house like I was some unwanted piece of baggage. The maids already treated me like I was nobody, so nothing was new. Now even my mother wanted me gone.

A new life would begin for me, and I was being separated from Caden without her even realizing what that meant to me.

I wouldn’t hear his voice in the hallway, see him at breakfast, or catch his smile when he spotted me. I’d miss our little conversations, swimming with him at the pool, and catching him staring at me when I wore a bikini.

Those little moments suddenly felt like things I was already losing.

I covered my face with my hands as the tears kept falling.

For the first time, I realized how much Caden had become a part of my life.

And now, I would have to learn how to live without him.
