"I think you're in love with me."
I laugh. "I am not in love with you," I scoff.
"Yes, you are."
"No, I'm not."
"Yes, you are."
"No, I'm not."
"Yes, you are."
With every response he gives, he takes a step closer to me, and I take a step back, until my body has no where else to go.
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are," he says, his face only inches from mine.
His proximity sends shivers down my spine, and I get lost in his mesmerising eyes.
"No I'm not," I say lowly, my voice shaking.
He lays his forehead on mine, and his eyes travel down my face. He bites his lip, and I want to lose control. Every ounce of me wants him. Right here. Right now. I want every single part of him he's willing to give me. I want his random mood swings. I want his long speeches about the things he loves. I want his stupid, corny jokes. I want his stubborness. I want the fear that comes with letting him want me. I want everything about him I don't like, and I want the things about him that I'm so deeply in love with even more.
"Don't lie to me," he whispers.
My heart starts pounding and my stomach flips a million times, making me go weak in the knees.
He takes a deep breath and moves his face even closer to mine. I can feel the warmth of his lips on mine, and I break.
"Yes, I am."

A story in which the past becomes the present, secrets become known, and two people, who are afraid of love, finally allow themselves to fall.
TRIGGER WARNING
I know we weren't meant to be together. It was one forbidden seductive kiss. But my attraction to him was something I couldn't help. I know it's wrong to fall for your stepbrother but I couldn't help but want him the second I saw him.
I know what your all thinking...when my stepbrother moved in. I didn't expect it to ever happen. He was just a crush. But I knew I wanted him. He drove me insane. Drove me wild. Crazy. Everything about him made me want him all the time. I know my father wouldn't approve of it. But I needed him and he was intoxicating. Everything about him. I just wanted to be his best. Nothing but the best he's ever had.
I knew it wouldn't be okay to have an obsession with your stepbrother. But I couldn't help it. I needed him. I was in shock that I was obsessed with this guy that I didn't think I would ever have feelings for. But I didn't care. I guess you can say I always know what I want and when I want. I guess sleeping with your stepbrother is wrong. But I didn't care. Even when people got between us.... even when we kept our relationship a secret. No matter what happened or what we said or did. But there were problems with me being in love with him but also being his stepsister. I was afraid of losing him. We had to keep our attraction hidden to one another a secret so our parents wouldn't find out or it would leave us forbidden to be together. But I didn't want him to be with anyone but me. I wanted him to myself. I wanted to be his because no matter what we were meant to be. The universe brought us together for a reason. But sometimes you can't help who you fall in love with.
Because the heart wants what it wants. Not you wanting the heart. But I only belonged to him and no one else. You know why? Because for sure he was MINE.
