KESTER

I didn't expect anything less, considering the fact that I didn't allow any man near her all her life. But I know how younger ones could be. They were good at sneaking their way around without the adults finding out.

Relief washed over me so hard that I almost felt dizzy. This only meant one thing... I was going to be the first and only man in her life.

She said, and her words made me realize something this was the first time in ages my sister had ever requested anything from me.

The realization left a sour taste in my mouth. Was she scared of me? Or had she just grown so used to me saying no that she'd stopped trying altogether? Either way, it didn't sit well with me.

That was in the past now. I was going to make sure she felt free enough to ask me for favors whenever she pleased.
