Guilt. That’s all I felt as I held Anya in my arms. I’ve always known my soft spot for Clarissa would put me in trouble one day. She’s always been my weakness. I’ve never been able to tell her no. Since the first day she came into our lives, I’ve always tried to do everything she wanted. A part of me has always wanted to protect her. To make her happy. To make her smile. To make her feel at home.

That never changed. I’m still that way when it came to her. My weakness for her has only increased with time. She knows by now how to bring me to my knees.

Even though we were close, I’ve always kept her at a distance from me. I’ve never done things that I knew would cross the line between us. Usually, Clarissa wouldn’t ask for more, but last night was the first time she asked for something I wasn’t sure I could give her.

I clenched my jaw at the reminder.

Last night was one of the hardest nights of my f*****g existence.

This need to protect her was expected between a brother and sister. f**k. Just thinking about it made me sick. I couldn’t see her as my sister, no matter how hard I tried.

I fought against those feelings for a long time, and when Anya came into my life, it became easier. But now, it was hard again. And

f*****g mess of my room just because I saw her dancing with Ares. That just wasn’t something a brother was supposed to do. I saw the way my brothers were with Clarissa, they actually acted like siblings but for some reason, I could

thoughts away; I knew how wrong it was. She expected me to protect her, to keep her safe, to be there for her, but yet I had all these dirty thoughts in my head. It made me feel sick. What kind of a man was I? She came to me because of nightmares, f*****g nightmares. I should have held her close only to comfort her, yet my body had a mind of its own. It

thing to do, but she surprised me by storming out of the room. Not
