Evan
They say the best things are always forbidden, Like Emberly Cruz, a delicate 5ft8 beauty, milky skin, golden hair, slender waist, eyes as bright as the blue ocean.
My stepsister.
“Mom please” she leans against the kitchen counter, as she picks up and apple from the table. She has been begging mother for three minutes to let her go to the club. The Beatles.
She had just turned 18 three days ago and already feels she is an adult.
“Okay fine, you can go” Mother agrees and she smiles, she takes a bite off the apple then places it back in the tray.
“How about my curfew, I can’t come back from a club by 9pm” she progresses in a conversation, I can bet she has it all planned out with her friends.
She is the youngest of them and the last to turn eighteen, ofcourse they want her to have a good time.
She picks up a chopstick on the shelf and ties her hair into a messy bun, revealing her delicate neck, I can see marks on them, marks that shouldn’t be there.
I lick my tongue in a frown.
“What’s wrong with coming back by 9pm” Mother argued, Emberly was a distraction as she tries to makes plans for dinner tonight but Emberly wasn’t backing down.
I leaned against my chair and watch them, I barely have anything to do these days. I keep checking my phone for my next work but nothing has come through for a week. I’m f*****g bored beyond measure, and the only thing that can calm me right now, is a girl’s head pressed against my groin.
Preferably a girl with golden hair but that can wait.
“How would you feel if the clubs starts by 9pm, and you have to leave by 9pm. It would be like I wasn’t even there” she rested her hand on her waist, slim enough to fit a headphone around it.
She looked stressed, a tiny vein pops on her forehead, but it was nothing compared to the red eyes mother has.
“How long do you want to stay?” Mother asked, she beams into little streaks of happiness,
“Till 3am”
“Midnight”
“I can manage 2am” she insisted.
“Midnight”
“How about 1am?, brother help me” she turns to me to plead her case, I rather keep my hands off it. One way or another I would still be wrapped into the argument.
“Midnight” Mother concluded.
“That’s not fair, you let Evan go out late at night and come back whenever he wants”
It didn’t take a minute for her to include me in the argument, Mother turns to look at me and I just smile.
“That’s because your brother is a man and can take care of himself. He is not going to end up having a teenage pregnancy” Mother teased.
With the amount of women I have been with, I’m old enough to be the father of three kids.
Emberly leaves mother’s side and walks towards me, she wraps her arms around my neck, “Please speak to mother, beg her for me. I don’t want to be home by midnight” she pleaded, whispering softly into my ears. I adjusted myself in the chair, staring back at her. If only she knew not to look at me that way.
Emberly hasn’t changed from the minute I first saw her. She was 7 at the time wearing a beautiful pink dress and a crown on her head. At that moment I knew she was going to be mine.
“Please big brother”
“Mom said midnight” I added, she quickly retracted her hands from me,
“You are useless” she hissed and walked away from me back to mother.
“Fine, I will be back by midnight but on one condition”
Mother pushed open the kitchen windows, “Are you making negotiations with me?” She asked, bewildered by her remarks.
“Yes” Emberly nodded.
She calmly folded her arms together and leaned against the counter, her eyes waved to me for a second before it landed back on her.
“Let’s hear it”
Emberly kept her eyes on the ground, she knew her request was too much to ask but she went for it, “Well since it would be my first time, I don’t want any guards following me” she requested.
“No” came Mother’s objection, as fast as lightning.
“Please, imagine what people would say if they see me with guards at the club” she bellowed.
She was almost killed at age of 6, before I came into her life. Since then Father has been scared for her life, he has guards watching her every move till now.
“It is not their business”
“It is, I am going to have a good time with my friends and also my mate” she complained.
“Ah! Asher will be there?” Mother asked, she had full faith in Asher to protect her because he was her mate and also the son of the Beta.
To me, Mates are overrated, Asher was just a kid who barely knew his left from his right, I had hated him from the minute I found out he was her mate. He was a young arrogant kid who thinks the world falls at his feet just because he has a title.
“Fine, there won’t be any guards”
“Really”
“Yes” Mother finally agreed.
She leaped for joy and kissed her on the cheeks then ran to her room in excitement, probably to tell her friends of her new found freedom.
A text notification pops up in my phone, I pick it up, read it, then turn it off.
I stand to my feet to retreat to my room only to find Mother staring at me,
“Watch her” she ordered.
Why in the goddess name would she let Her step out alone when there was nothing but horny kids filled in the club.
“On it” I replied and grabbed the same apple, then I took a huge bite from where she had eaten.
