BETWEEN TWO BROTHERS

SECRETS SECRETS

DANIEL

I wanted to tell him yes, I know her, I know how she sounded when she was about to c*m, I know how her legs tightened around my waist, I knew her voice when she moaned my name. Instead, I said something different.

“Yes, we do.”

Emily's face paled, Jeremy's eyes narrowed, and my mom looked intrigued. I could play this game forever.

“You just introduced us to each other moments ago.”

“Doesn’t that count as us knowing each other? I asked

“Yes, yes, that counts. I just thought you knew each other before today,” my brother said.

After that, dinner commenced, and everyone was complimenting Mom on how nice the turkey was. Still, I couldn’t take my eyes off Emily.

She was stunning with those eyes that drew you in, and those lips that were begging me to kiss them. I was hooked.

She had been avoiding my eyes all dinner, but I wanted her attention solely focused on me. I did not care how that would happen, but it must happen.

“So Jeremy, how did you and Emily meet?

“We are yet to hear the cute love story.”

…Isn’t that right, mom?

“I’m shocked you haven’t asked them, you love these things.”

“That’s right, Emily. How did you guys meet?” Mom asked

Emily's eyes glared at me. She knew what I was trying to do, but I didn’t care; at least now her eyes were on me.

“Uhm… Jeremy and I met at a bookshop; it was nothing special.”

“Babe, what do you mean it was nothing special?”

“For a year, you kept talking about how it was a perfect meet-cute just like in your novels,” Jeremy said, looking at her with love in his eyes.”

I wanted that to be me, I wanted to look at her like she was mine

“Aww, that sounds really cute my mom said.

“Isn’t that cute, Bob? Mom placed her hands on Dad’s own

…Uh, hmm,” grunted Dad

Jeremy turned and kissed Emily. She turned and worriedly glanced towards me.

“Excuse me, I need to use the bathroom.” Everyone turned towards me. I could feel her eyes on me, but I couldn’t bear to be here. I stood up the chair, scraping on the floor, and hurriedly left the room.

How was I supposed to keep what was possibly the best night of my life a secret when all I wanted was to pull her into my arms and kiss her again and remind myself what she tasted like, not like I could ever forget that.

A knock sounded on the door. I turned and opened it, expecting to see my mom; she always wanted to cuddle me, even when I’m fine, she believes that because I’m far from home, I need all the love I could get before going back to my life again.

“Are you alright?” Emily said, leaning against the door

“Miss me already?” I smirked

“No.. no, I just wanted to remind you to please keep what happened a secret”

“I told you I would make a deal with you. Are you ready to keep your end of the deal?

“That can’t happen,” she whined, “it was a mistake, I was drunk.”

“That wasn’t what you were moaning all night long, I can vividly recall you saying we needed to go again, but you were just too sore to continue,” I said, moving closer to her. Her cheeks had turned red, and her eyes had glazed over in lust.

“Are you sure you don’t want a repeat performance, Doll?”

“Doll.. She breathed

”Tell me you don’t go to sleep dreaming about my hands around your neck.”

“You don’t remember me thrusting deep inside you.”

“When you can confidently look me in the eye and tell me you don’t remember all this and wish for more, then I would take a step back…”

I brushed past her, stopped halfway, smiling darkly, and I said

“For now”

EMILY

I wanted to tell him I didn’t think about him or imagine what it would feel like if we explored this connection, but I couldn’t lie to myself.

But nothing can happen, I am in love with Jeremy, what happened between Daniel and me was just a mistake.

“What do you mean by now?

….Oh, I just mean I have found something I want and I’m getting it.”

“I am your brother fiancé!!! I screamed

He turned fully towards me, his eyes shining darkly

“What am I supposed to do with information?” he growled

“I don’t know, maybe respect your brother and have the decency to leave me alone.”

…That’s never going to happen. I won’t let a ring or a brother stop me from getting what I want. He said”

“You can’t say that I’m not just some object you can take.”

“Oh doll, you are not just an object, I want to possess you, I want to take full control of you, I want every word out of your mouth to be about me, every moan, every thought, every o****m, everything you do be all about me”. He said while stroking my Chin, I couldn’t breathe, I was lost in his eyes.

‘‘I want to kiss those lips one more time. Will you let me do that, or do you want me to take it because trust me, doll, I am open to either?”

He lifted my chin, and his face moved down. His lips were just breath away from mine. I wanted to stop him, but in that moment, I was powerless; I couldn’t move even if I wanted to.

“Will you let me taste you, doll?” he breathed.

The shrill sound of a phone ringing forced me to jump from what I almost did.

Jeremy was just outside this door. What have I been thinking

I need to stay away from him cause apparently I can’t seem to think well whenever he is within my vicinity.

“You have to promise me that you will keep what happened a secret I begged.”

“Do you mean the one from three days ago or the one that almost happened now?” he said

What … nothing almost happened now, I don’t know what you are talking about.” I shuddered

“Is that what you want to tell yourself, Doll?” he said while trying hard not to smile

“Why do you even call me that.. I asked

Doll?

“Yes,” I said

“Because you are very fragile and I want to roughen you up,” he whispered

“You can’t … you can’t say stuff like that,” I breathed

“I can and I will say whatever I want,” he growled

“Does this mean you won’t keep this a secret?” I whispered

…What secret? Jeremy asked

My eyes widened in fear.
