I sigh fluttering my eyes open, feeling my back pressed against a hard chest and a muscular arm around my waist. Then I remember, last night's events. What me and Nathan did, how amazing and magical it felt.

"Are you awake, beautiful?" A soft husky whisper calls from behind me and a pair of lips meet the back of my neck. I close my eyes with a smile, devouring his touch before rolling over to face him and his face lights up.

"Morning" I yawn, stretching my legs under the duvet before fully opening my eyes and admiring the gorgeous guy lying beside me. His soft chocolate hair, messy from when I was running my hands through it, and remembering his lustful glowing green orbs last night, turning me on so much. Oh gosh, and his toned abs, not too muscular, but not to.. unmuscular should I say. Just perfect. He's perfect.

"Like what you see" His voice snaps me out of my thoughts and a smirk plays his lips. "Shut up" A chuckle escapes my lips as I slap his chest lightly. "So.. What did you think of last night?" He questions and a blush flusters my cheeks. "I- I enjoyed it" I admit.

"Me too" He laughs lightly.

"But this can't happen, Nathan" I huff sitting up, pulling the duvet closer to my bare body. "What why?" He frowns sitting up beside me. "Er well last time I checked we were both in serious relationships, don't you remember that? Don't you remember me telling you that I love Ollie?" I explain frustrated.

"Then why let it happen?" He says. "You kissed me!" I exclaim standing up from the bed and grabbing my underwear and putting them on.

"You kissed me back! Last night didn't have to happen, but it did and don't you dare blame me, we both decided to do what we did. And like I said, nobody has to know! Stop being difficult, Vanessa" Nathan slips his boxers back on.

"Difficult? Well I'm sorry for feeling guilty for cheating on the man I love with my Stepbrother!" I scream. "You were all smiley and loved up just a minute ago. What's suddenly changed?" He walks round the bed to me.

I sigh rubbing my forehead, not bothering to answer. "I just want to be with you" He whispers, resting his forehead against mine. I open my eyes, mesmerized by his sparkling ones. I snap out of it and I cough, pushing him away and grabbing my clothes, running back to my own room.

I shower and freshen up before pulling on some clean clothes. A sleeveless black floral crop top, a pair of dark denim jeans and some black peep toe wedges. I plait my hair down the side and I shove on one of my beanies.

I do my usual makeup routine before heading downstairs. I look up to see Nathan standing in the kitchen, with only a pair of grey sweat pants. I gulp, turning to walk away before he can see me, but damn it failed so badly.

"Breakfast?" His voice calls bluntly. I suck in a breath, turning back round to his direction. "Actually, I'm not that hungry, I might grab a coffee whilst I'm out."

I watch as Nathan turns around, "You're going out?"

"Yeah, I need some fresh air. And I promised Ollie I'd drop by his place today" I reply instantly regretting the last part, as true as it is, I can see how much it is upsetting him. He's family, I hate seeing him upset, but we all have to face the facts.

"Oh. Whatever" His voice is low and he turns his back on me. I sigh grabbing my jacket off the sofa and leaving the house, walking down the road and down town where Ollie lives. I turn a corner, noticing a small food and drink stall. I smile walking up to the counter where the waiter turns to me with a smile. "What can I get you love?"
