Dive into Temptation [ManxBoy]

9. Are You Nervous?

Somehow I had finally managed to sleep well despite my constant flowing thoughts about Dominic. I had gotten too high the previous night and passed out immediately after falling in bed. He was driving me crazy, making me feel obsessed. But I wasn't. He was the obsessed one, finding enjoyment in my suffering. I didn't get the chance to tell Lily yesterday because Dom followed her around constantly, not giving me the chance to speak to her alone. It was as if he knew I couldn't tell her with him present. I just wasn't that confident. So, I was up an hour earlier than yesterday, determined to get to her first.

Despite sleeping through the whole night, I felt a heavy tiredness that made me want to give up on my plan and sleep in. But I couldn't keep lying to Lily. She had to know her husband was insane. I climbed out of bed, cringing at a pain in my neck and back, likely slept on wrong. A soak in the hot-tub later might fix it. My drowsiness made me too tired to even dress so I pulled on a robe over my boxers and made my way out to the kitchen. It was empty, Lily had yet to make breakfast. Hopefully she would get down here before Dom woke up.

I began preparing my breakfast, a simple bowl of cereal. I sat down, staring off at the info on the box as my mind drifted to yesterday morning when Ryan and Rosie were over. It was so strange that Rosie wanted to kiss me but I was glad she decided against it. I never wanted to kiss a girl again after what I experienced with Dominic. That's what a kiss should have felt like, minus the whole sisters husband aspect of it. I just needed to find a different guy to kiss.

I shook my head, my face heating up at the embarrassing thought. Did Dominic just like to humiliate people? What would Lily think if she knew her husband had this inappropriate playful side? Maybe she already knew and was dismissive of it. Maybe I was just overreacting to all of it? Since I was actually gay, maybe I was just reading into these things with Dominic. Ryan was a straight guy that found it funny to pretend he found me hot at times. Was this something similar? Maybe to a straight man, repeat kisses meant nothing. I was desperate to find a reason for Dominics behavior. I just couldn't accept the possibility that he was actually into me and intending to betray Lily. No, not intending. By now he already had. And I had. We both betrayed her.

"Good morning, baby brother," I felt slender arms wrap around my shoulders.

"Hey," I shrugged her off, immediately feeling guilty by my thoughts. "You're getting hair in my cereal."

Lily laughed as she moved to sit in her spot across from me. "Just adding some flavor for you," She shrugged with a cheeky smile, flipping her brown hair over her shoulder.

She reached over the table and grabbed the box of cereal I was reading, pouring herself a bowl. Her silence while eating felt strange. Did Dominic hint anything to her? Maybe he even told her that he suspected I had a crush on him. But she continued to eat her breakfast as if nothing was amiss. I sighed deeply, my heart pounding in my chest as I tried to gather the courage to tell her. What was I supposed to say? 'Hey sis, your husband keeps kissing me, what do you think about that?' I shook my head, knowing I couldn't be that direct. I needed to try and ease her into it, see if she was familiar with this type of behavior from him.

"Hey, is Dominic a prankster?" I asked, trying to sound casual.

"Hmm," she looked thoughtful. "BABE!"

I immediately shrunk into my seat. Oh fuck please don't call for him now. Heavy footfalls could be heard as Dom was summoned. I hid my face behind the box of cereal and heard Lily chuckle. Dominic kissed her in greeting like a good husband and sat beside her. I quickly busied myself with my spoon, trying not to show the panic I felt.

"Yes, darling?" he asked, and I could feel his watchful eyes on me.

"You been pranking Adam?" Lily asked.
