OBSESSED WITH MY STEP (TABOO NOVELLA) (4 page)

“Oh shit,” I said, looking at him. “We’re busted.” I looked around quickly for a place to hide and finding nowhere suitable, I quickly climbed underneath the sheets.

Nick didn’t move. I guess he was also in shock.

Suddenly the door opened. We had not accounted for the fact that Todd and Alyssa had spare keys to the cabin and had come looking for one of us. I froze. Now we were certainly screwed.

CHAPTER 7

I braced myself for the worst. This was bad. As soon as the door fully opened, Nick pulled the sheets off him, revealing his nakedness to whoever was at the door. I wondered if they could see my juices still wet his penis.

“Oh, shit. Sorry, Nick,” I heard my dad say as the door quickly closed.

Nick burst into laughter and pulled the sheets off my face.

“What just happened?” I was confused.

“I figured most parents don’t want to see the kids naked, so I played on that. It sent them scurrying away.”

“You are crazy,” I said, hitting his chest playfully. I continued putting my clothes back on.

“Well, did you have a better suggestion? Our asses would have been fried now if I hadn’t done that.”

He was right. His quick thinking had embarrassed my dad, but he’d saved the day. “But why was he coming to your room?”

“My mom has the key. She got dressed for the wedding in here so your dad didn’t see her. I guess she must have been looking for something.”

Maybe they were looking for me. The thought crossed my mind and I quickly made for the door.

“Where are you going?” Nick asked, still sprawled on the bed.

“Someone’s probably going to be looking for me sooner or later, and we don’t want to raise any red flags.” I walked to the door and blew a kiss at him. “See you.”

As I approached the breakfast area, my heart pumped with guilt and fear. I dreaded seeing my dad and Alyssa. I was sure my dad hadn’t seen me in Nick’s room, but what if? What if he had made out my silhouette underneath the sheets? What if he put the pieces together – I wasn’t in my room, I was nowhere to be found, and there was a silhouette of a woman underneath the sheets in Nicks’ room. I hoped that if he had made out a silhouette in bed, he’d assume Nick had hooked up with a woman he’d met on the cruise.

Dad, Alyssa, and Todd were seated in a nice corner of the restaurant, eating. I walked up to them and sat in one of the empty seats.

“Good morning.” I avoided looking at anyone’s face.

“Hi, Jena,” Todd said cheerfully.

“Hi,” I responded, looking at Dad and Alyssa’s faces.

“Hi, darling,” Dad said.

“Jena, hope you slept well. Thanks for all your help yesterday.” Alyssa turned toward me and smiled. She still looked radiant.

Everyone seemed oblivious of what was going on between Nick and me. No one suspected our pool fun yesterday, and it seemed like no one was any wiser of my whereabouts this morning.

“Yes, thanks Jena, for helping make things go smoothly,” Dad said

“My pleasure, Mr. and Mrs. Colt.” I felt a sense of guilt wash through me. I hadn’t done much to help yesterday, and in fact, had been selfishly satisfying my urges when I was supposed to have been helping coordinate the wedding.

“Mrs. Colt. I like that,” Dad said, as he turned to share a kiss with Alyssa.

They made me sick, these two love birds.

“Eww,” Todd said, covering his face as our parents kissed. “You guys are not gonna be doing this all the time, right?” he asked in all seriousness.

Just then, Nick appeared from behind me.

“Do what?” he asked sitting on a chair next to me.

His musky scent sent a tingle down my body. Was I always going to be this crazy for him? I couldn’t imagine spending all summer with him and feeling like I wanted to jump him every time our paths crossed.

“Kiss,” Todd said. “They just kissed.”

I laughed and nodded my head. “They are going to. It’s their honeymoon and they are a new couple. That’s what they’re supposed to be doing.

Nick laughed before saying hello to everyone, including me. I noticed that Dad had avoided looking at Nick when he said hello to him. I could imagine that he was still too embarrassed from seeing Nick naked, but I guess they’d figure it out in their own time.

“I’ll go get some food,” I announced rising from the table to walk toward the buffet.

“I’ll come with you. I’m starving.” Nick was right behind me. When we were beyond earshot I started laughing.

“What?” Nick was amused

“You’ve scarred my dad for life.”

“Nah. No big deal. Men don’t go crazy like that. It’ll pass. I’ll probably make a light joke about it to him sometime later.”

“I guess so. I just noticed he couldn’t look at your face just now.” I chuckled, feeling sorry for my poor dad.

“Well, imagine the alternative. We’d be slammed right now if he had seen you in my bed and everything would have been over before it started.”

“That’s true. I guess we just have to be a little more careful,” I said.

He looked back toward our parents’ table, and satisfied that they couldn’t see us, slapped my ass.

“Stop!” I said lightheartedly, loving the feel of his hands on my ass. Now, if only it was on my bare skin, that would feel great.

“You should slap my ass a little more sometime. Maybe even handcuff me,” I whispered in his ear.

“You liked it?” he asked. He slapped my bottom again, causing the other guests to look at us.

“Never tried it, but can’t hurt right?

“Don’t know, but we can always find out.”

I piled my plate with pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon. I was starving after my morning workout in Nick’s room. His plate was also piled high.

“So what do you think our parents will do if they ever find out?” I asked as we made our way back to the table.

Nick was silent for a moment. “I can’t imagine, but I doubt they will take it lightly. Funny thing is they can’t really keep us away from each other because we’re family and will end up doing stuff together.”

“I think it’ll probably affect their marriage. I mean your mom is going to want to protect you, my dad, of course, thinks I’m a virgin and will go to every length to protect me. I guess we just have to keep it under the radar. I’d hate for them to break up ‘cause of us.”

“Exactly.”

We wouldn’t land at the next port for two days, so we had to entertain ourselves on board or go crazy. Dad and Alyssa chose to go hang out by the pool. It took all I had in me not to blush when they mentioned the pool. Memories of how Nick had tossed my bridesmaid dress over my face on a bench in the washroom and fucked me with my legs in a “V” position flooded my mind. It was certainly a fuck I was never going to forget. I pictured my dad and Alyssa sprawled out lazily on the same lounge chair where Nick had fingered me to orgasm. They would never imagine what their kids had done in that very chair.

Todd was going to spend most of the day in the recreation area that boasted video game consoles, board games, and other arcade-type games. Nick decided to climb the mast. I opted to go with him, thrilled to do something different. We all agreed to meet back up for lunch around one o’clock.

“So, what’s mast climbing?” I asked as we walked towards the mast. “I mean I know what the mast is, but are they going to really let us climb it? That sounds dangerous.”

“I guess there’s only one way to find out. It’s advertised on the brochure,” he replied.

We found a small line of people waiting to climb the mast. I wouldn’t have thought climbing the mast would be a popular activity, but I guess it was exciting to go up to the lookout. I let Nick go first, cheering him on while watching him from the ground as he navigated the ropes. He looked so strong – his muscular legs took one rung at a time, making the activity seem so easy. If I had any reasons to be terrified that he would fall even with the harness strapped on him, they were all dispelled once he got all the way to the top. Turning around, he gave me what appeared to be a thumbs up from all the way up there. I waved at him. He started his descent.

“Were you scared?” I asked once his foot hit the deck.

“A little. But you’ll be fine. The view up there is amazing. The ship. The ocean.”

“Don’t know. I’m a coward.”

“Go on. You’ll be fine. Just don’t look down,” he said as he took the safety harness off and helped me get it on. His skin brushed against mine, causing a warm feeling to spread all over me. He didn’t seem to notice. I had a sudden impulse to kiss him but resisted as I wasn’t sure who may be observing us. We had extended family on board and any of them could be close by. We had gotten lucky so far with the pool washroom encounter and the bedroom this morning. I wasn’t sure how far our luck would carry us before we actually got into trouble.

I grabbed the rungs of the ladder and started climbing up steadily, inch by inch, towards the clear blue sky. At first, I was unsteady, probably because I was scared. As I climbed higher up the mast, I found my balance and felt more confident. The wind was blowing, rocking the ship gently. When I got all the way to the top, I had a sudden impulse to look down but resisted the urge as I knew it would make me dizzy. The view was truly amazing. We were surrounded by miles and miles of blue water, white clouds, and warm sun. There were no other ships anywhere around us and no sight of land. Our ship was in the middle of nowhere. It was peaceful and serene.

I went down a little quicker than I had climbed up. When I was halfway down, I had the confidence to look down at the deck. I could make out Nick looking up at me, his hands shielding his face from the sun’s glare.

“How was it?” Nick asked once I hit the ground.

“Amazing. This is something I would never have done if it wasn’t for you.”

“You saying I bring out the bad girl in you?” He had a smirk on his face.

“Positively. I’ve been so bad the past twenty-four hours that I almost don’t recognize myself. You are certainly a bad influence and I’m not sure how to get rid of you.” I was kidding. There was no way I was going to get rid of this man who made me feel so much like a woman.

“I’m here to stay, little sister. You can’t get rid of me,” he said throwing his arms over my shoulders casually as we walked away to the other side of the boat.

“So what should we do?” he asked.

“Nothing. I’m still a little tired from yesterday. I think I’m going to take a catnap.”

“Can I come?” he teased.

“No, Nick. You’ll get me in trouble,” I said as I walked off, leaving him gawking after my fleshy butt. “I will see you later this evening. Maybe you’ll get lucky.”

I knew my nap was going to be filled with dreams of him. And when I woke up, I would go searching for him to satisfy my urges.

In my dreams, I imagined him naked and eager for me, his dick betraying his desire for me. I imagined lying on silk sheets, legs spread wide apart, knees bent. I imagined he would come at me slowly, would lift my hips with his hands, and position his cock against the entrance of my pussy. Then he’d slowly, skillfully penetrate my folds, taking care to make sure I was comfortable. He’d start pumping into me, thrusting his hips slowly, then faster until we were both out of breath. Luckily, I’d wake up from my dream after he exploded in me and I had achieved an intense orgasm.

CHAPTER 8

We arrived back in DC after the cruise – Dad, Alyssa, Nick, Todd, and I – in high spirits. I guess Dad’s idea to have a wedding cruise that forced us to stay together worked to bring the kids closer. I had developed a protective affection for Todd, who turned out to be a sweetheart. Nick acted the part of a big brother by being protective of me. I, in return, made sure they were always comfortable and did other things I imagined sisters had to do. I had bonded with Alyssa over coffee and spas while on the cruise. The spa sessions had come as a wedding present for the bride and her bridesmaids from the cruise captain, and we made the best of it. Alyssa and I had spent many evenings, when she wasn’t with Dad, at the spa relaxing and talking.

Our living arrangement changed once we got home. Alyssa, Nick, and Todd moved in the first week we returned. I knew it was the plan, but I was still excited to have the boys under our roof. Since our house had four bedrooms, it worked out that everyone had their own bedroom. Todd, Nick, and I did have to share a common bathroom that was just down the hall, however, which I didn’t really like.

For the first time ever, I opted to spend my summer in DC rather than LA, my usual summer retreat. I’d miss all the beaches and shops that Mom usually took me to, but that was nothing compared to an opportunity to spend three glorious months with Nick before we went back for the fall semester.

On the first day we found ourselves alone in the house – Todd had gone to summer school, Dad and Alyssa had gone to work. I woke up excited and eager to hang out with Nick and possibly get naughty. He was nowhere to be found on the first floor of the house. Then I noticed that the basement lights were on. I tiptoed down, careful not to make the wood creak underneath my feet, curious to see who was downstairs. I imagined it was Nick but since it could also be an intruder, I held the phone with my finger ready to press the emergency button. What I found surprised and delighted me.
