Stepbrother Holiday Page 2


  “That’s easy,” Nina said. “I’m going to go scuba diving!”

  “Oh? I didn’t peg you for the adventurous type.”

  “Not many people do. I’m kind of quiet and bookish most of the time, but that’s only because there wasn’t anything to do in the little town we grew up in. My mom and I moved to the big city in the middle of high school, and it was awful trying to make friends there. I guess I just retreated into my books even more. But I love doing stuff outdoors too…I just don’t get a lot of time to do it now that I’m pre-med.”

  Nina didn’t know where the words were coming from. Usually she’d freeze up when she tried to talk with a guy as handsome as Hayden. But she felt comfortable with him, as though she could open herself up and he wouldn’t judge her at all for it. Never in her life had she felt like this. Always there was a sense of inadequacy, especially when she compared herself to her best friend Kate. Kate who had luscious red locks and legs that stretched for miles. In comparison, Nina was all too plain.

  Not with Hayden though. The way he looked at her, like he could see straight through the shell she built around herself, was almost liberating. Nina had never felt so close to anyone so quickly. The other passengers, the airplane, her mother’s stupid wedding, none of it seemed to matter while she was talking with Hayden. He made all of it fall away, until it was just the two of them sharing something special and secret. Time seemed to fly by as they talked, and she was thrilled that he didn’t lift his hand from her arm, not once. It was as though they were anchored together as long as they touched.

  Was this what it felt like, to fall in love?

  Hayden

  “We are preparing for the final descent. Please fasten your seatbelts now and place your trays in the upright position. Thank you.”

  Hayden looked up as the light for the seatbelt illuminated. He couldn’t believe that they were going to land soon. It was surreal, how time didn’t seem to exist as he was talking and flirting with Nina. He snuck a look over towards her, and was gratified when he saw the same disappointment written on her face. He groaned inwardly as he watched her bite her own lip. What he wouldn’t give to be doing that himself. In fact, if he could have had his own way, he’d have bought out the entire flight. He wanted to run his hands all over her, feel the sweet softness of her body under his.

  The thing was, unintentionally or not, he had created a problem. He hadn’t figured it out until halfway through, but somehow Nina didn’t have a clue that he was going to be her stepbrother. Whether it was because Sarah had never mentioned him, or she hadn’t bothered to look him up, it felt almost refreshing to have her get to know him as just Hayden, plain and simple. He hadn’t had that since he was very young. Back then he went to school with others who were just as well off as he was, and while there was a shadowy sense of just how important he was, it had never bothered him the way it did now.

  He hadn’t meant to lie to her, but now he wasn’t sure how to get out of it. Hayden knew that she liked him. It was clear as day. And he did too, surprisingly enough. What had started out as a way to get Nina out of his system by seducing her had suddenly become a lot more complex. But how was he supposed to have known that all this time, she hadn’t known who he was?

  Unfortunately, the decision was made for him. As they exited the airport, a driver held up a sign saying “Hayden and Nina”. It didn’t take a genius to figure out just how many Haydens and Ninas there could have been on the flight.

  She stopped, stock still. Her mouth had dropped open, and her eyes were wide. Nina turned around to look at him, hurt and confusion written on her face.

  “Nina,” he said quietly, “I can explain.”

  “What do you mean?” Her voice quavered just a little at the end.

  “I was going to explain, to say, but I just didn’t have a good time…”

  Hayden started to reach out to her, to pull her closer, but she pulled her hand back towards herself. He knew why she was angry. It seemed like such a cruel trick, to flirt with her when he knew that she was going to be his stepsister. That it would be wrong to continue on the path they were headed to.

  Hayden’s file on her had been thorough. She didn’t have a boyfriend, and she never did before either. She was too shy and guarded to let anyone in, and over time, it had hardened into a shell that didn’t let anyone in. Her anger smarted, but he knew that he had nobody else to blame but himself. He should have spoken up.

  “There’s no need,” she said. “I’m fine.”

  She wasn’t. He knew she wasn’t. But Nina turned toward the driver and shook his hand, all traces of her feelings wiped off. Her walls had gone down, and Hayden was locked out.

  The ride back was similarly icy. Even the driver seemed to pick up on the silence and gave up trying to point out interesting facts about St. Lucia after the first few minutes. Hayden wanted to try to explain, but he could see that it would only make things worse. Nina wasn’t ready to listen to anything he had to say, replying only with monosyllables.

  He shook his head, frustrated by his own stupidity. Who did he think she was, just another silly bimbo girl at the bar? Nina was way smarter than that, and he had miscalculated. A lot. The only thing he could do was wait until they were alone again, or risk embarrassing her further.

  At least they were in a beautiful place. Maybe that would allay her anger a little bit. The resort that her mother had picked out was spectacular. Not only was the resort ground completely separated from all the other hotels in St. Lucia, they would have their own private ‘sanctuaries’ as the hotel called them, complete multiple bedrooms, kitchens, and a living room that opened out to a private infinity pool. Hayden had hoped that they would be able to get to know one another by sharing the suite together.

  “What is this?” she asked, as the bellboy finished dropping off their bags and closed the door behind him.

  “I hoped that we would be able to get to know one another a bit better this weekend. It is the first time we’ve seen each other in person.”

  “And you thought that I’d want to start by sharing a room?”

  He had to admit that it sounded like a pretty stupid idea. God, he just couldn’t think straight when it came to her!

  “Well, I didn’t think that you’d want to sleep with me right away, no,” Hayden replied. He saw her look away, red suffusing her cheeks. She looked so sweet and perfect right then, he wanted to cross the room and sweep her into his arms. “Believe me, I know this looks bad. I hadn’t intended for what happened on the plane.”

  “And what did happen on the plane?”

  She looked so fragile and hopeful. He walked across the room slowly. Nina looked like she could bolt any second, and that was the last thing he wanted to have happen. Finally he stopped, even though she was close, so tantalizingly close. His heart and his body ached for her.

  “Us…” he said softly. Looking down at her, he smiled, hoping that it would coax her’s out too. “Instead of just me and you, it became ‘us’ on that plane ride.”

  Her eyes darted to his and away, as if she couldn’t believe she was hearing those words. Hayden couldn’t resist any longer. He had held out because he hadn’t been sure, because he didn’t want to rush things until they could have talked through what it might mean now that they were going to be step siblings, but none of that seemed to matter to him in that moment.

  Cupping Nina’s face in his hands, he kissed her, soft at first, but harder, desire urging him forward. Hayden pulled her small body close to his, his hands running around her waist so she was snug against him. He had her in his arms at last, and he didn’t ever want to let go. She tasted good, better than anything else simply from the fact that it was Nina, the woman he’d fallen in love with. He could feel her pressing back, her arms closing tightly over his shirt. Their tongues twined, dancing and moving against one another so naturally that it felt that they always had been together.

  Finally she broke the kiss, pushing back against his chest with
her small hands. Her eyes were bright, too bright.

  “This isn’t right!” she cried out.

  “What do you mean?”

  “You, me, us…! Hayden, you’re going to be my stepbrother. We can’t be in a relationship.” She pushed herself out of my grasp. “I shouldn’t have done this.”

  “Nina, I’m a full grown man. And you are a full grown woman. I think we can decide to do whatever we want to do,” he said as she started to shake her head again. “I know I want this. And I know you do too. So why shouldn’t we do what we like?”

  “Yes, but I need a moment. Please.”

  Just then his phone rang. It was his father.

  “Hello?” he said, a little more irritable than he should have.

  “Hayden, how are you? I trust that the two of you have managed to unpack and settle in?”

  “No, we only just got here dad. There was a flight delay.”

  “That’s too bad. Well, Sarah and I were hoping to have some dinner with you two, in an hour or so. The sunset is supposed to be spectacular tonight and we made sure to get the best table at the restaurant for it.”

  “Sure thing. I’ll let Nina know. We’ll meet you there in an hour then.”

  “See you soon son.”

  Hayden closed up the phone. Nina had crossed her arms around herself, as if protecting her from him. It pained him to know that that was how she felt.

  “So dinner in an hour?”

  “Yes. But we should talk.”

  “No I think I need some time to think. I need to take a shower before we go eat anyways. Maybe we can do this later.”

  Hayden wished that he could follow her, that he could pull her back toward him and hold her until she changed her mind. Fortunately, his mind was working enough to know that doing that would only make her feel worse, even if she did want to. He was going to have to wait.

  Nina

  Nina slipped into the bathroom and closed the door, firmly locking it shut. That phone call could not have come at a better time. Despite her protests, naughty thoughts kept slipping into her head as she watched the desire blaze from his eyes. It made it so hard to think with the feeling of being in his arms so fresh in her head. What she needed was a shower to distract her racing heart. She stripped down and turned the water on, climbed in and let the hot water wash over her body.

  But her thoughts kept drifting back to the man on the other side of that door. The way he had looked at her, awestruck by her presence, made her feel so good. And she hadn’t imagined how he felt on their five hour plane ride had she? No, the intentions in his eyes were obvious. He liked her, a lot, and the thought of that more than anything turned her own.

  Her hand slowly drifted down to her to her already slick mound. She thought about those perfectly broad shoulders, about holding on to them as his tongue made its way down her body. At least here in the privacy of the bathroom she didn’t have to protest.

  She slipped two fingers into herself, already wet with need. Then she started to rub her engorged clit in a circular motion, building up the sensations of pleasure. She remembered that look of hunger he had as she pulled away from their kiss.

  “Ohhhhh Hayden,” she moaned breathlessly.

  She brought her other hand up to her stiff peaks, twisting them, so that pain and pleasure swirled deliciously through her body. She quickened her movements, harder and harder, so that she had to lean against the cool tiles of the shower to keep herself up. Water ran in rivulets over the sleek contours of her body, the beating of the shower adding another layer to her arousal.

  “Hayden!” she gasped.

  Desperate to be taken by Hayden, Nina added a third finger into herself. No longer did it matter that he was going to be her stepbrother. Yes it would be wrong one day soon, but right now, he was just a man. A man that she wanted so much. She imagined him fulfilling her, satisfying her need in the most intimate way possible.

  By now she was moaning loudly, not caring if he could hear her through the sound of running water. Her eyelids fluttered as her hands moved expertly over herself, driving her over her climax. Her knees wobbled, weak from the intensity of her orgasm, and she fell onto the floor of the bathtub. A cool sensation washed over her as she tried to regain her breath.

  Nina looked up and realized that the cool breeze she had felt was Hayden opening the door of the bathroom. He looked down at her, his mouth agape. She screamed and scrambled to wrap the curtain around her body.

  “WHAT THE HELL?!”

  “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” he came to life again, shielding his eyes.

  “What are you doing in here?!”

  “You were screaming my name, and then I heard a fall-“

  “That doesn’t give you the right to barge in!” she said, blustering in her embarrassment. She reached for the towel he had held out to her, stepping out of the water.

  “Well I thought you had fallen or something,” he said, eyes flashing. “I was worried that you’d hurt yourself.”

  Nina wanted to say something clever back, but before she could, he had reached out and pulled her close to him again. Her body melted into his embrace. She was glad that she had a towel around her at least, but even then, she could feel the bulge of his erection against her thigh. Slowly his hands moved downwards, past her towel onto her bare leg. She could feel his fingers like a brand upon her bare skin. His fingers were close, so close to her that she could hardly think.

  “Oh, just a little…” she breathed.

  “A little more?” he said raggedly, as his thumbs began to circle her flesh. The soft caresses of her inner thigh made her wobble on her feet they felt so good.

  “Yes, I mean no, I mean…”

  “Nina, you want this,” he said, looking down on her. She nodded. She couldn’t articulate it herself, but she did. No matter how wrong it felt. She didn’t have the strength to push him away. Her own desire was too overwhelming.

  “Then I will give it to you.”

  Hayden pushed her back against the wall, pressing the length his body against hers. Their mouths came together, and she could feel his tongue probing for permission. She gave in willingly, allowing him to taste her mouth. He nipped gently at her skin, a trail of kisses leading down her neck.

  Her hands worked quickly, pulling his shirt in seconds. It flew back across the room. She had been thinking about Hayden’s body for so long, and she was finally going to see. She let her hands skim across his bare back, fingernails running back up. He was a god. Nina dropped the towel she had been using, revealing herself to him. He paused, taking her in completely.

  “What do you think?” she whispered.

  “I think you look absolutely breathtaking.”

  Her soft dusky nipples sat high on her generous breasts, beckoning his mouth. His hands cupped them, pushing them upwards towards his face. He settled onto the one on the right, his fingers reaching for the left. She tossed her head back, the feelings even better than she had imagined. Seeing Hayden pleasure her in the large mirror beside them quickened her pulse, setting her juices flowing below.

  “Oh Hayden,” she breathed softly into his hair.

  His other hand roamed across her body towards her rounded ass. He rubbed one cheek gently, then slapped it. Nina jumped, the sting bringing her pleasure into sharp focus. He slapped it once more, before reaching down into the tight space between her legs. His fingers danced across the soaked lips front to back. Thinking he needed access, she opened up her legs, but he continued to play with her opening.

  “Please,” she whimpered, arching her hips towards his digits. “I want you.”

  “Where do you want me?” he asked, his breath hot on her ear.

  “I want you inside me,” she moaned.

  His fingers gently traced the swollen nub above her folds. The feathery touch was driving Nina insane.

  “What is it you want inside you?” he asked again.

  “You, your fingers, anything,” she pleaded.

 
“Like this?” Hayden slipped a finger inside, pressing firmly against the walls as it came back out. She gasped and pushed her hips toward him again, but his finger was no longer there.

  “More!” she cried out in frustration.

  “You are very, very wet, Nina,” he said. This time he slipped two fingers back into her, and she sighed in relief.

  “I’m going to make you mine Nina. All mine. Is that what you want?”

  She could only nod, his hands rendering her speechless. His thumb rubbed against her clit while his fingers fucked her, making her wetter and wetter. Her eyes closed, ready for yet another orgasm. Her body stiffened, and she came all over his hand, juices spilling forth.

  He placed his hands at her side, lifting her up onto the counter of the bathroom. The cold marble shocked Nina. She spread apart her legs for him, giving him a full view of her sex. Hayden tugged off his belt, then unbuttoned his pants, pulling his boxers off with it. His cock stood upwards, thick and proud, from a blonde nest of curls. He stroked it slowly in his hands, and she watched it becoming even harder, straining towards her womanhood.

  “There’s no way I can take that,” she whispered.

  “Yes you will,” he said, “I’m going to make you into a woman with this.”

  His hands rubbed up against her soft folds, still wet from her orgasm. He spread her sweet nectar across the thick head, lubricating it.

  “Wait,” Nina says nervously. “I’ve... never actually done this before.”

  “We could wait if you wanted Nina,” Hayden said with a kiss. “I’m willing to wait until you’re ready.”

  “No! I want you,” she replied. “I want to always be yours.”

  He leaned forward, taking her face in his hands and tilting it up towards him. He kissed her slowly, gently, softly. Stroking her hair, he whispered, “Don’t worry, I’ll make it good for you.” Nina nodded.

  He eased his cockhead toward her wet lips, causing her to draw her breath sharply. She spread apart her legs, hooking them around his back. Pushing forward, she felt him breach her womanhood at last. Her walls gripped tightly onto his cock, preventing him from going further. He felt like a thick wedge in her tight body. She tried to relax, breathing deeply. Hayden is going to do his best to make this good, she thought over and over.
