Chapter Seventeen When we step out of the curtain, he keeps chuckling quietly behind me. I shot him a deathly glare and he quickly pushes down the corner of his lips but still can’t hide his smugness.

“Seriously?” I roll my eyes. He’s acting like a juvenile boy getting excited over sex with women. He shrugs. “What?”

“You must have fucked a thousand girls in public places. Stop acting like that.” I point out. OK that sounds a little gross and is probably an exaggeration, but I’ve seen him with girls. His gloating smile fades away a bit as he frowns at me. “What do you think of me? A breeding horse?”

Well not so much as a breeding horse. But definitely a fuck boy. He clenches his teeth apparently irritated by my judgment. A soothing waltz melody starts playing in the background, so he offers his hand to me. “Dance with me for this next song and I’ll forgive your foul mouth.”

I pause. His hand hangs in the middle air for a few seconds before he snaps grumpily. “What

now?”

“Who did you come to this ball with in the first place?” I ask. “No one.” He replies dryly. I find that hard to believe. He must have come with someone, Valerie most possibly. Then this leads to my other deeper worries: what’s us?

I’ve come to realize that Eason does want me, but definitely not as his girlfriend. The way he behaves has proven that.

So just his sex partner. Someone he sleeps with when he gets bored. After all, what tops up the sensation than getting in bed with your stepsister? Yet before I figure out my thoughts, he suddenly grabs me by my wrist and pulls me into his arms with one strong pull. I didn’t even get a chance to protest, and he’s led me into the dance floor.

He’s an excellent dancer with smooth moves and fine gesture. I’m grateful that I’ve taken one or two dance lessons before so I can keep up with him now.

But spinning with him is still awkward. Especially since people have been staring at us intensely whenever a couple passes by our side. I know what they are thinking. Stepbrother and sister? Most popular guy and the school freak? Either way it’s weird.

“Eason.” I keep my voice low so by-passers can’t hear me. “You haven’t answered my

question.”

“God, you have a way to ruin everything,” He hisses. “I said. I came with no one.”

“Didn’t you invite Valerie?”
