TRIPLE STEPBROTHERS INFERNO

Chapter 11

Atlas's POV

The night before had been stressful because it was the eve of our trip. I wasn't looking forward to it because I didn't want to be around Harper. I was trying to control my feelings, and that was why I came up with the rules.

Yes, they were annoying and they didn't make any sense but Adonis and I had agreed to go ahead with so that we could let her know where we stand. Damon didn't have any idea about it because we knew how radical he was and I didn't what him to go overboard.

I didn't expect such response from her and I could see how bold and confident she had become. That did something to me because I loved defiant ladies, they turned me on easily.

We stood outside the mansion while waiting for the servants to carry some of luggage into the jet that would take us to the island. Dad was very wealthy so he could afford the luxury of having his own private jet.

I wondered what island he was taking us to and though he said that the reason for the trip was for us to bond, I felt that it might not end well as he planned.

Rosa, which was Harper's mom was already sitted beside the window. She was to stay with my father while I and my brothers would stay together with Harper as he had arranged.

My wolf was purred in excitement, knowing that it would have the chance to see its mate and be close to it. Though we had rejected her, we still felt a slight connection that I didn't want to recognize.

Harper catwalked to the entrance of the jet and swayed her hips with every move she made. I couldn't help but stare at how round and firm her a*s was in the pair of blue jeans that clung tightly onto her skin. Then I averted my gaze from her to my brothers and found them doing the same too.

We were in trouble.

Her bag almost slipped off her hands and I watched Adonis pick the bag for her then handed it over. I felt jealous within me and angry that they had an brief interaction, something that wasn't meant to happen.

I walked briskly and didn't bother waiting for them then sat on the chair that was at the left side of the jet. None one sat between us rather they sat behind us and glued their eyes to their phones.

Adonis was a huge fan of music so he already had his earphone hung on his head, then he shut his eyes showing that he didn't want to be disturbed.

Damon who was a game freak, played some racing games as I could watch him maneuver his device so he would overtake his opponent. He always played his games that way.

Since they were busy with other things I decided to watch some videos on my phone. I got a notification about a latest self defense video that I had been following on a channel and I clicked on it to ease off the restlessness I felt while I stayed beside her.

I watched it and some other videos but I still couldn't shake off the restlessness that overwhelmed me so I dropped my phone and caught her dozing.

At first, I acted like I didn't care because helping her would make our bodies meet and I avoided it. But since my wolf was all jumpy and I knew that I wouldn't be at peace if I didn't do anything to help, I stretched my hands and helped to keep her head on the headrest.

I tilted her head towards me so I would stare at her face anytime I wanted. She was beautiful and I wondered why I only realized that now.

I shook my head vigorously, trying to stop the annoying thoughts that flowed in my head.

Why was I suddenly noticing how beautiful she was?

I calmed myself to ensure that Damon didn't notice the childish things I did. I had always prided myself in being rational but being beside her was made me act lovesick teenager.

I tried looking away but my eyes caught the sight of her cleavage that came in view since she was wearing a low V-neck blouse. I had the urge to touch it and know how those creamy breast will feel on my palm.

"Aaarghhh!" I screamed, bringing everyone's attention to me. That wasn't what I wanted.

"What is the matter, son?" Father asked worriedly while Rosa stared at me.

"It's nothing, Dad. I just realized that I forgot my earpod," I lied so that they won't interrogate me further and I prayed that Damon wouldn't notice that I lied because he knew how much I disliked music.

"You can always get another one when we get there, don't worry yourself over something so inconsequential," He waved off my complain and looked ahead.

Some minutes later, she woke up and stared at me first, then looked away like my face irritated her.

The flight hostess father had employed to take care of our needs served us some drinks and cookies. I wasn't so hungry so I took only the wine and left the cookies on the plate.

I watched her munch the cookies hungrily from the corner of my eyes and wished that I was the wine that went slowly down her throat, so we would become one.

A sound resonated from the speaker as it advised us to put on our seat belts because we were about to land. I looked shut my eyes tightly, scared of the whoozing sound the jet made.

I was used to flying around but anytime we were to take a trip by flight, it felt like I had never been on air before. I always experienced the same anxiety that made my chest tightened each time we were about to land, and I felt it now.

I looked at Harper who shut her eyes and held onto the chair for support. She looked so scared and I wished that I could hold her so that her fear would disappear.

We walked towards the small bungalow that had a big pool in front of it. The tall pine trees stood on each sides of the house giving it a tropical look. Though I didn't admit it, I was impressed with what I saw.

My father and the Luna held hands and strolled into their rooms with two maids trolling after them with the some boxes and suitcases. Harper still took some of her things by herself even after telling her that it wasn't her duty.

She was still humble and I liked her for that. Other people would have used the opportunity to show how proud they were, but she didn't.

I walked pass her so I wouldn't have to think about her anymore. I had to keep hating her so I would be able to reason and stay respected among my brothers. We had decided to keep hating her that's why we bullied her.

There was no significant reason for our hatred towards her. She had never done anything to hurt us yet we took out our frustrations on her, apart from Adonis who intervened anytime we went overboard.

I took off my jacket and asked the servant that had been assigned to me to leave the room for a while so I could think.

But my quiet time was short-lived because Damon strode right into my room and bounced on the soft foam. I glared at him but he looked at me with a puppy face like he didn't know what he did.

"Why are you here?" I asked with an irritated tone, I didn't conceal my disapproval of his presence in my room.

"Is it a crime to be with my cute brother or am I intruding your imagination of Harper being in your arms right now?" He asked with a cunning smile while I stared at him in shock.

I did all I can to hide the bewildered look I had on my face but it didn't work.

"What makes you think that I have the luxury of time to think about someone like her?" I snapped.

"You don't have to pretend, brother. It's written all over your face, I've been watching you and I can tell that your heart is softening towards her. And I want to know why?" He inquired.

"It's none of your business, you don't know what goes on in my head so don't assume too much…." He cut me short.

"Oh, but I'm not assuming. It's as visible as the sun in the sky how much you want to be with her. I saw you gawk at her chest when you helped to steady her head, the desire I saw in your eyes was untamed," He described making me feel more uncomfortable.

I heard some noise at the door and I stood up to check it out, but didn't expect to see Harper staring at me with her hands covering her mouth.

She heard it all.
