Chapter 27: Sex Talk I wake up in his arms the next morning. The minute I open my eyes, memories from last night instantly come back to me. That’s it. I’ve slept with Eason, with my stepbrother. I carefully turn around to look at him. He’s still sleeping soundly. No matter how much of a jerk he is by day, he seems so cute and peaceful right now. The summer sunshine pours in through curtains and onto his beautiful face, giving the whole room an amber glow. I study his perfect, straight, angular figure. Seriously, I can do this all day, staying in his arms and looking at his sleeping face…

Wait.

I jerk up a bit, scared by that fleeting thought just like I did yesterday. My movement disturbed him in his slumber, as he murmurs something vaguely and turns around releasing me from his arms.

I fight back the temptation to crawl back to his cuddle and get out of bed quietly.

I turn on my phone and quickly text my mom, letting her know that I got caught up my“ urgent homework” so didn’t come back last night. Then I go into the kitchen and brew some coffee.

My mind drifts away while waiting for the coffee to get ready.

Well, before last night, I thought sleeping with him would help me get over with my obsession and move on to the next phase. I only want him sexually. That’s it. Period. But last night didn’t do a good job killing my wayward thoughts. Instead, it opens a door to something else.

My own inner voice starts playing in my ears.

… I love this so much… I love him…

I jump to my feet immediately, panic as hell. No, no way. That can’t be it. We barely know each other right now. Plus, he’s such a manipulative, forceful, difficult, and overwhelming guy. Why would I fall in love with him?

That’s just sex talk. My hormone talking. I take a deep breath and bury my flaming face into my palms. That’s right. No need to overthink this. I’ll just keep some distances with him after last night. “What are you thinking?”

I’m startled and turn around to find him walking out of the bedroom. He yawns and walks closer to me, hairs messy in an incredibly sexy way. No one can look this good in the morning, except him.

The lazy summer morning, the freshly brewed coffee, the warm sunshine filling up the living room, the perfect boyfriend…everything is perfect. Except he isn’t actually my boyfriend. His hand comes up to my waist and caress my naked skin. His breathe becomes rougher. And I can feel him swell against me. But my mind suddenly clears up, like waking up from a dream too good to be true. And I quickly push him to the side and move further away from him. He is caught off guard. He staggers back and looks at me with parted lips
