IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER

CHAPTER 12

JASON'S POV

I waited until Tess had closed the door behind her then looked down.

"s**t!" I cursed and groaned at the sight of the bulge in my boxers. Why had I even chosen to come downstairs in them? Not that it would have helped being in pants but the pants would have been a little more secretive.

It was suddenly like I was thirteen and having my first erection on my babysitter. This one however was tougher even though I should have control of it. Tess's fiery attitude when she was pissed, the way her eyes danced with fury and turned her head causing her hair to bounce around her head was turning me on. Crazy, right? I closed my eyes and sighed heavily willing myself to relax.

I was about to head upstairs when she came back barging into the kitchen angrily. She took me by surprise since I thought she had already left and in the process, I turned around sharply. She stopped in front of me, fuming and for a moment I froze not sure why she was looking at me like that.

"Is it just me who had no idea there was going to be a party in my house?" she demanded.

Right, that. I exhaled. At least it wasn't something else. Why was I even scared of her? No, it wasn't about fearing her it was about what she was doing to me every time she confronted me. It had gone from innocently pleasant to striking me in ways I hadn't imagined. I found myself staring more than I should have. I was entranced in the movement of her eyes as she blinked after glaring at me, her lips as she spoke and her chest heaving.

"Stop staring at me like that. It's creepy!" she reprimanded startling me.

"Creepy, really?" I asked.

She huffed and turned to leave but I caught her wrist and stopped her. She gasped and locked her eyes on me. I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn't. The urge to pull her against me and kiss her again was too strong to fight. When had I become this person?

"Jace..." her voice trailed. It was so soft and innocent like a kid. That only happened whenever we were that close. She became vicious only when there was a safe distance between us. Now she seemed scared. I didn't want her to be because then if I decided to act on how I was feeling, she would blame me for it and probably hate me. I didn't want her to hate me.

"You can't... you should stop doing that," she added softly.

"Do I scare you, Tess?" I managed as gently as I could. I was hurting inside and at the same burning with desire. It had felt good ambushing her but I knew it would feel even better if she responded to my advances. She wanted to but she was holding back.

I noticed her chewing on her lip inwardly then sighed heavily. She was more nervous than scared. Maybe all she needed was reassurance so I loosened my grip on her wrist and brushed my thumb along her face. I tugged on a curl falling over her eyes softly, playing with it around my finger. She exhaled and closed her eyes briefly.

"Tessie?" I uttered, my voice coming out raspy. She flicked her eyes as if startled from sleep and met my eyes again. "I would never take advantage of you. Don't be afraid of me."

"I'm not afraid of you," she responded stoically but I could see the uncertainty in her eyes. I c****d an eyebrow subtly. "I'm not..." she shook her head as she lost her speech once again. "What do you want from me, Jace?" she asked this time more confidently.

"Right now? To kiss you again," I responded not caring about the lines I wasn't supposed to cross.

"Why?" she asked weakly. "Our parents... Why me when you could want any other girl in school? Why not Ava? She really likes you!"

"But I don't like her," I stated without having to struggle. "Not like I like you." I brushed the tip of my thumb over her lips. Hot breath washed over my skin sending an alarming sensation through my bloodstream. She was caving but I had to make sure. I leaned closer, letting my breath tickle her skin. She shuddered and gave out a low intake of breath. "You can stop me if you want to," I whispered. She didn't.

I pressed my lips against her and inhaled deeply. Her lips shook and parted slightly. While the first time I had been the one to push it, this time she participated. I felt her hand land on my chest as she leaned into the kiss. I pulled her closer, instinct taking over as the tip of my tongue slid past her lips and met her tongue. A sigh that sounded more like a moan escaped her as her chest crushed into my body.

It felt good. So good to have her breasts pressed into my body. I wanted more. Unconsciously, I pulled her by the waist and felt her stiffen against me. I was hard and I knew she had realized it. Slowly, I broke the kiss and met her confused gaze before following her eyes to my overconfident manhood. She gulped and then swallowed before pulling herself away from me completely. I wanted to groan or scream but I held it in.

"I'm so sorry, Tess. It just happened," I swallowed hard.

Why was I even saying that? We had made out fully. It was bound to happen but I felt the need to apologize because she was freaking out. Her face was pale, her eyes bulging slightly. I didn't know what was going on in her mind but I desperately needed some release to relieve the pressure I was feeling inside. Tess however turned and hurried upstairs without a word.

"Damn it!" I cursed and exhaled several times trying to calm myself down. It wasn't working. There was only one solution. I followed upstairs quickly and locked myself in my new bedroom. Standing in the mirror and staring at the reflection of my aggregated soldier now fully naked, I sighed hopelessly. I didn't jerk off every time I got hard but this called for it. With the image of Tess propped right before my eyes, I massaged him fast and hard, desperately needing the escape.
