Fantasy

chapter seventeen

Niko nibbled on his thumb anxiously as he walked up to Honeys bedroom. It was almost time to cut Desa's cake and he was sent up to get her. He didn't like being down there, around all those people he didn't know, especially without Desa. He was in a continuous state of worrying and nauseousness. Waiting for someone to yell at him. He nearly puked whenever anyone with dominant energy so much as glanced at him.

He wanted to cry right now more than anything, maybe Desa would hold him while he did. It made him even more bummed to know it wouldn't be happening anytime soon. Based on what he'd seen before they left, he figured she'd be staying the night with Honey. Although he was quite shocked at first to discover that they are in fact step-siblings. He could be a little oblivious sometimes. He knows it's none of his business, though he can't help but feel a little envious of Honey.

"Yo! Lil' dude!" A voice called from the end of the hall.

Nikos head snapped in that direction, stomach dropping painfully. The girl was tall with an athletic build and umber skin, unintentionally intimidating Niko. The boy trembled and he wondered if he should just barge in Honeys room. But of course his body was limp with fear.

"Desa in there?" She asked, the smile on her face did nothing to ease Niko, he knew how deceiving smiles could be. But he nodded wordlessly anyways, she didn't feel dominant which confused him. "Alright cool, cool."

"Guess who cuz! Now get your bitch ass out here!" She banged against the door.

Niko jumped as she did, his eyebrows furrowed, so this girl is Desa's cousin?

The door slung open, Desa's eyes widened at her cousin as she saw her. "Don't you have somewhere to be? Like not bothering me. Go pick some cotton for your boyfriend."

Nikos eyes widened as he watched them. He was confused on why they would say that to each other. Wasn't that bad?

"Bro shut up! That was just nasty. He ain't even my boyfriend, we just be fucking sometimes." Her cousin gasped, flipping her braids over her shoulder as they both started laughing. No harm meant behind it, they both joked like that often.

But Desa sobered up from the laugh quickly, letting out an annoyed groan. "Fuck Caroline, does that mean the whole family's here?"

"Don't worry bout it short-stack. You so anti-social and for what? Emo ass. Let's go! I want some of that delicious ass cake Mama Miller be getting." The taller girl huffed, slapping her firm tummy.

"Fine, I'll be down in a sec."

"What the fuck else you need to do? Oh, I bet that little ass pansy's in there, huh? Girl if you don't stop, that's your literal step-brother. What are you doing step-bro, headass." Carol laughed.

"Bye, take your bullshit and go. I wonder what that little white boy that dom you would think about all the shit you say about him sometimes."

"You wouldn't dare. Y'know what, after cake, I got you. And to think I brought you some good shit. Now hurry up!" She turned and jogged to the stairs.

Already knowing what she meant Desa glared at Carols back, yelling down after her. "I am not smoking with you!"

"Girl, you can't stay a complete virgin forever!" Caroline yelled back, her laugh getting smaller the farther away she was.

Desa's head ached, she scratched at a spot in the back and then just held her hand there with a sigh. "Fucking ridiculous."

Niko stood in the same spot he had been in since the Caroline girl showed up. Yet Desa still hadn't sensed his presence, he wondered if it was because he wasn't in heat anymore. He almost missed it, knowing how it affected her and the warmth he got during it, as long as she was touching him. He is after all a hormonal teenage boy, he would love for Desa to touch him sexually.
