Stepbrother

Chapter 62

I leaned in to kiss Neil. No, this is wrong! I couldn't make myself stop. His lips trembled as they met with mine. "Jeremy." He put his hand on my chest and pushed me back.

"I'm sorry! That was wrong!" I yelped, backing away quickly. "Neil, I told you to stop me!"

"I.. I couldn't. I wanted it," Neil said. He took a shaky breath. "Maybe if I could have you... just once.. I'd stop having these urges."

"Then do it." I jumped at the sound of Lendzie's voice. Neil covered the slight bulge that remained in his boxers. "I'm honestly sick of you two looking at each other with hearts in your eyes. Talk to each other, make out, I don't care anymore. If it'll make you stop wanting to just pounce on each other then please do it.. just.. if you're gonna leave me don't lie about it for three weeks first."

"I'm not gonna leave you," I said, walking toward the stairs where she was standing.

She nodded. "But if you want to, don't force yourself to stay with me."

"Are you crying?"

"I don't want you to leave me!" she said, wiping a tear.

"I never said I was!" I said, hugging her close to me. "I'll never let you go." She slowly backed away. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me."

"I'll keep Josh and Kevin asleep."

"What are the limits?" I asked.

"Uh.. Well.. no sex," she said. "But everything else.. I mean... I don't like it but maybe it'll make you guys less... Maybe it'll make you stop... you know what I'm trying to say."

"Yeah." I nodded.

"All sex?" Neil asked. I looked at him funny. He wants to.. do it?

"Anal.." she replied after a long pause. "I'd stay and watch you because I really don't like this idea, but that's just weird."

"If you don't want-" I began.

"No. Do it. Go ahead. I want you to stop thinking, 'I wish I could have Neil,' because it's weird thinking that you could be thinking about someone else. Maybe if you do this you'll stop thinking about each other so much. If you don't... maybe you're supposed to be together."

"I'm not gay," Neil said.

Lendzie glared at him. "You wanted Jeremy to see your dick, Neil."

He took a breath, then licked his lips and sighed. "I'll shut up now."

"I want to know what happened. And if I find out you lied to me, we're done. I'm serious about this, guys. I'm only letting you do it so you'll stop thinking about him all the time." She pointed at Neil.

"I don't-" I began.

"Yes, you do," she said. "You text him like four-thousand times a day." I hung my head slightly. "This is weird. Have fun... I guess. And remember, Jeremy is mine!" she snapped.

"She went from being normal to sad to angry real quick," Neil whispered once she closed the bedroom door. I nodded slightly and sat down on the couch. Neil sat next to me, about a foot away.

I looked at him and cocked my head playfully. I moved closer, to where our knees touched. "Jer-"

"Shh," I interrupted. "Can I say something?"

"Yeah," Neil whispered.

"Neil, I love you," I said.

"I kn-"

"No, wait," I interrupted. "I love you in that way, but I love Lendzie more."

"I knew that," he said.
