RICH BOY BRIT (A Bad Boy Stepbrother Romance)(84)
The drive to the bowling alley was short and fun. We talked about everything under the sun except the one thing we should have been talking about: our relationship. I was dying to know what his thoughts were about what was going on between us and how he felt, but we were having way too much fun talking to think about serious things. I decided to leave that conversation for later.
TYLER
When she came down those stairs in a short skirt and tights that framed those legs I loved, Jenn looked so good I almost forgot Dad and Mom were there. We left the house, and it took all of my willpower not to jump her on the short drive to the bowling alley. I was proud of her and proud of how she looked, and I was ready to show her off, even though she technically wasn’t my girlfriend. We met up with three of my friends, Jason, Mike, and Chad, who had all brought a date, and soon we were bowling boys against girls.
“Your sister is hot, dammit. Those legs…” Jason murmured.
“Stay away from her, Jason,” I said, a little more harshly than I probably should have.
“Come on, man. I know she’s your sister and all, but she’s still hot.”
I nodded but didn’t speak. Of course I knew she was damn sexy, and I’ve had to live with that for a long time.
“Think she’ll go out with me?” Jason wondered.
“I doubt it,” I said as firmly as I could, one part of me panicking that Jenn might want to go out with Jason. He was cute, and my muscles were nothing compared to his. I knew girls liked men who looked like that, and I was no competition for him.
“What, is she seeing someone else?” he asked, grabbing a slice of pizza and biting into it.
“Don’t you have a date?”
“Just think she’s cute, that’s all. Don’t know how you get through the day living with someone that sexy.”
I wanted to tell him that I don’t and had been fucking her and he should leave us alone, but I simply smiled and kept eating my pizza.
“She a lesbian?” he whispered.
“Jason!” Maybe I should have let him think she was so he would leave her alone.
“Then please introduce us properly,” he begged.
I nodded, and just as if it was ordained, Jenn left the girls and started walking towards me, her hips swinging so seductively, her legs shapely and strong.
“See, she’s coming to meet me,” Jason said, smiling.
“Yeah,” I murmured, but I hoped she would turn around so I didn’t have to introduce her to Jason, but she walked up to us, leaving me no choice but to introduce them. “Jason, my stepsister, Jenn. Jenn, Jason.”
I watched as they shook hands with the usual “nice to meet you.” Jason drooled all over Jenn, and if I didn’t know any better, I’d have said the attention wasn’t lost on Jenn. She openly flirted with him, much to my disgust.
“All right, let’s go back to bowling,” I snarled, standing and breaking up whatever connection they might have had. I didn’t want it getting past hellos.
“But I want to talk to Jenn a little more,” Jason said. I looked at Jenn, thinking she’d go back to bowling with me, but she sat next to Jason and made herself more comfortable.
“You’re done bowling?” I asked.
“Not yet,” she said. “Just need to catch my breath.”
“Jason?” I asked, hoping Jason would come with me, but I already knew the answer before I even asked him.
“I’ll be here,” he said, sitting down next to Jenn.
I left them and walked back to the bowling lanes. I did my best not to look back as I walked away from them, but I couldn’t resist it. A quick glance and I could see the two of them laughing hard at something one of them must have said. It made me so jealous that some other guy could make her laugh like that. I was jealous of another man being close to Jenn, which made me realize that our relationship was going to be a lot more than just stepsiblings fucking. I needed her more than just that!
JENN
I spent most of the next morning after our bowling trip sitting in the bathroom, nauseous. It had to be the pizza, because that was the only thing I had eaten that could have made me sick. When I finally made it downstairs, no one was home. Dad and Mom had gone to work and Tyler was nowhere to be found.
“Tyler?” I called a couple more times but got no answer. I went to the kitchen to see if he’d left a note or explanation. His note simply said, “Out with Stacey.” I read it again to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. He had just told me he didn’t care about Stacey and was done with her. How did she get back into the picture so quickly? Was he lying about their relationship so he’d score? I was about to pick up the phone and curse him out when I realized I knew the exact way to get back at him.
I picked up my phone and dialed the number I had been given from the night before. “Jason?” I said into the mouthpiece. You’d have thought he’d won a lottery. “Want to hang out?”
“Sure,” he said. “I’ll pick you up?”
“Sure, about an hour?”
I got off the phone and took a quick shower. Luckily, my stomach had calmed down. I had no more bouts of nausea except when I gargled while brushing my teeth. I made a mental note to avoid gargling while brushing, and no more eating pizza in bowling alleys or even being too close to Lauren when she cooked.
