Chapter Ten - Fateful Disaster Gone Right

"You were never just Percy's little sister. Actually, you were so much more than that. I don't think you'll ever stop being."

Brody leaned towards me and cupped my face with his hands never taking his eyes away from mine.

My heart couldn't beat faster as his lips gently touched mine and I gave in, wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him closer so our bodies were touching.

When I opened my mouth to give him more access, Brody let out a soft moan and I felt his smile against me. The gentle kiss became more passionate and before anyone could think about it, I was lying on the couch with him lying above me.

My hands travelled through his body and he did the same to me. I don't know how much longer the kiss lasted, all that I can say is that we only stopped because we were getting out of breath.

"You're beautiful." Brody whispered, inches away from my face while caressing my cheek with his thumb. I smiled at him taking my time to engrave this moment in my mind. I knew how big of a mistake this kiss probably was. I knew that things got out of hand and that in a few minutes this would all be over. "What're you thinking?" Brody asked and I realized I was frowning. He sounded worried and retreated to a position where I couldn't feel his breath on my skin.

"What is this?" I asked shrugging. Confusion was all over my head as I started to rationalize the situation. What did he mean by 'I was never just Percy's little sister'? Why did he kiss me? So many questions.

"I thought that... you... I..." Brody stuttered and immediately got up from the couch, running his fingers through his hair and leaving me even more confused if that was possible. After taking a deep breath, he was able to speak again, but didn't look right at me, instead he focused his gaze on my hands that were resting on my side. "I've wanted to do this since the day I found you on the road." He told me and I raised an eyebrow, sitting up.

"Why?" I questioned him and he laughed nervously.

"You still don't get it." He stated more to himself and I continued waiting for his answer. Of course I didn't get it. Years ago he rejected me, now he says something I don't understand and kisses me. "Just listen, okay?" Brody sat down again and looked at me with pleading eyes so I just nodded.

"Okay." I whispered when he didn't say anything.

"That day on the woods. I knew you were drunk and I knew that if you weren't you'd never try something on me." Brody said and as much as I wanted to speak I didn't, waiting for him to continue. "I never wanted someone so much as I did that night." He raised his chin so he was looking at me and I tried to understand what he was saying. "I knew that if I didn't send you off the car, I would give in to you. I wouldn't be able to stop. And then you would regret it later. I knew you would never forgive me and I wouldn't even be able to forgive myself." He stopped to take a breath and I tried to sink in what he said.

"I didn't want to take advantage of you... But this doesn't mean I didn't want you. Because I fucking did." Brody said clenching his fists and I felt my heart racing again.

He wanted me.

He didn't want to be a jerk, that's all.

Fuck.
