Her Step Brother

Explanation

Clarke sat across from Bellamy at the table, Raven beside them. They all had a cup of coffee, the awkwardness hanging in the air.

"Clarke was a virgin when she moved," Raven noted.

"Okay, remember way back in Pike's class when I told you Bellamy and I got assigned that same book?"

"Yeah, you were super annoyed."

"That's basically the day it started," Clarke revealed. "Bellamy came to my house that day, and we ended up making out."

"And then, the next day, Clarke basically dry humped me."

"Bell!" Clarke scolded. "We both know you dry humped me." She turned to Raven. "Anyway, after that, Bellamy and I would stay a little later after class so we could talk. I ended up sneaking out a lot and going to his house."

"Seriously?" Raven gasped.

"Yeah, well, Bellamy was flirting and he was hotter and older. But, basically I would go over there and Bellamy and I started taking things further."

Raven raised a brow. "Like, head game?"

"Eventually," Clarke revealed. "First, uh, Bellamy and I did hand stuff a few times. Then, yeah, we moved on to mouth hugs."

"But, you never fucked?"

"Bellamy had a policy about virgins," Clarke teased.

"We almost fucked," Bellamy said, honestly. "One night, Clarke had decided to loose her innocence," he joked. "She seduced me into bed. But, right fucking then, my door got banged on and Clarke had to hide under the bed. She didn't want to be in trouble, knowing Marcus and all."

"A few days later our parents decided to tell us that they had been dating for quite some time and were tying the knot," Clarke explained.

"Is that why you moved?" Raven asked.

Clarke pushed her hair behind her ear. "Yeah," she admitted. "It was just, I felt so awkward and guilty, even though we didn't know about them and they didn't know about us. I knew that I couldn't live under the same roof as him. Seeing him everyday, wanting him the way I did." She met Bellamy's eyes.

"Because you would end up fucking," Raven spoke.

"I tried for two years to stop being attracted to Bellamy."

"And, I did the same," Bellamy revealed. "I was kind of pissed when she moved, but I understood how she felt. But, since our parents didn't want a big wedding, I had gone two years without seeing her. So, when she moved back.."

"All those feeling came rushing back," Clarke finished. "I know we're technically related, I know you're probably thinking so many things right now, but, it's, it's complicated. We know how it looks."

"It looks like you get to live with the guy you fuck," Raven shrugged. "Look, I won't lie, at first I was pretty shocked. But, I don't think it's that weird, really. You guys aren't even technically related. Like, by blood. And, you guys had a thing two years ago."

"Well, I'm not sure anyone else would see it that way," Clarke sighed.

"Well, no one else is going to know," Raven promised. "My mouth is obviously closed. Like, swear. Honestly, you guys are both really hot so it makes sense." She took a drink. "I'm honestly more surprised that you've kept all of this from me, Clarke. The now stuff makes sense, but the stuff years ago? We used to tell each other everything!"

"Well, Bellamy was an ass and a huge whore. Plus, he was seventeen and I was a freshman. And, like I said, our parents worked together. So, I didn't want Marcus to know because then my mother would know and I would have never lived that down."

"I was not a whore, just so you know. I had only slept with a few people! I just made out with everyone."

Clarke raised her brow at him. "Uh huh. Anyways, um, yeah."

"Wait, so on vacation you guys had a cabin alone! Did you guys fuck the whole time?" Raven asked.

"No, not exactly," Bellamy sighed. "I had been trying to fuck Clarke since she got back. And, in vacation, we did everything else. She had been telling me how wrong it was and so I told her when we got back home, if she wanted to, we would."

"We've only gotten to fuck twice," Clarke revealed. "We've been working with the hospital and we've been exhausted. Actually, you've almost caught us twice now," Clarke revealed.

"What?" She demanded.

"When you and Kyle broke up, I was in her," Bellamy said. "Then, when you needed a towel."

Raven laughed. "Oh, damn. I'm sorry," she chuckled. "And now here I am, again. At least you got to finish."

Clarke smiled, still nervous.

"Okay, you just weren't answering the phone and so I came by to annoy you. But, your parents are finally gone and I think I agreed to go on a date with John, so, I'm going to get out of your hair."

Clarke hugged her friend. "Be careful, it's storming still. And, you better give me every single detail from your date."

"I will," Raven promised. "And, loosen up. I am not judging you and I would never tell anyone. So, fuck all day," she laughed. "Love you."

Clarke turned, right into Bellamy's embrace. "That was really scary."

He rubbed her arms. "Yes, it was. It was a la awkward."

She wrapped her arms around his neck. "I trust her not to say anything. I do. It's just, it makes me realize how easy it is to fuck up and get caught."

"You're right," Bellamy rested his chin on her head. "But, we really do only have today. So, go lock the door."

She felt heat spread through her body again. "Lose the pants."
