Blended Hearts #2 (An Interracial Stepbrother Romance Book) Read online

  “Has she talked to Gill?”

  “I suggested that she do that as soon as she gets home. I mean if these girls are doing something wrong or they’re concocting something, they wouldn’t want anyone to know what they’re doing, right?”

  Daniel shook his head. “They’re not the best, I agree. I don’t have anything to do with them, but from what I’ve heard they’re into all sorts of deals – some shadier than others.”

  I stared at my step-brother. “What sort of deals are you talking about?”

  “I really don’t know, Madison. And you know how rumors are – there’s often nothing to them.” He looked into my eyes.

  I squeezed his hand. It felt good to be talking to him like this. Whether he was fibbing or not, it felt “normal”. It reminded me of the times we spent together when our parents were not married. We were very much carefree and we certainly didn’t think of having sex together – at least I wasn’t.

  We remained silent for a moment until Daniel lay down and stared at the ceiling while I slipped under the covers beside him. He was only wearing his shorts now. He crawled up to me, lifted himself on one elbow, and said, “I have to be honest with you, Madison; I have been thinking about you none-stop for weeks now.”

  “Even before we had sex together?” I asked, a little curious to hear his reply.

  “Way before that. But, the bathroom thing was still an accident. I wasn’t waiting for you behind the door, that’s the truth.”

  I snickered. The “accident”, as he called it, seemed to have happened a century ago now. “Never mind that,” I said, “How do you feel about what we talked about; about pretending to be friends?”

  He took one of my hands and kissed it lightly. “Before I answer, would you tell me if you even gave a thought to me before we had sex?”

  “Okay, since we agreed that honesty is the only way to be between us, before the accident, I thought about you a lot. In many ways I have to admit I was attracted to you because you’re very nice. You’re a bit of a show-off, but besides that I thought you were a good guy. But it’s only after the “accident” that I began to think of you differently.”

  “What do you mean differently?”

  I smiled. “You know what I mean. I was attracted to you. I wanted to be close to you. It was as if I couldn’t get you out of my mind. I was obsessed. I was trying to avoid you every way I could so that we would not have sex together. I thought if I could stay away from you, I would be fine. But I wasn’t.”

  He nodded. “Same here. I mean I didn’t try staying away – you did that well enough for the both of us – but I wanted you more than any other girl I ever knew.”

  I had been sitting up against my pillows until then. I slid down to be a little closer to him. “So, what do you say we pretend to be friends outside of the walls of this room?”

  “Before we agree to do that,” Daniel replied, “we should agree not to communicate with one another on the phone – like texting. Social media will be our downfall if we’re not careful, and one way to do that is by not using our phones to contact each other.”

  “That’s a good idea.” I got up again. I went to the dresser, grabbed my phone and removed Daniel’s number from my address book. So if by chance he wanted to call, he could, but there wouldn’t be any record of anything in my phone from this day forward.

  All the while he watched me, I smiled at him. He was such a gorgeous man. God, that body of his will be the death of me.

  “May I make a suggestion?” Daniel said, as I was crawling back under the covers. “Maybe we should not pretend to be friends at all…” I stared at him. “We should pretend we hate each other. Do you think you can do that?”

  “I don’t know that I can. I can ignore you, or even be indifferent, but hate, that’s a totally different set of emotions Daniel. I don’t think I ever “hated” anyone in my life. And I don’t think I want to start with you either.”

  “Okay then, let’s go for indifference and ignorance then. Is that a deal?”

  He extended a hand to me. I shook it. “You’ve got a deal. Outside these walls you do not exist. Unless, of course, we need to put on a show for the folks, okay?”

  “Yeah, otherwise my dad would have my hide.” Daniel laughed and in a swift move, grabbed my waist and flung me over so that I would straddle his body. I was more surprised than thrilled. It took me a second or two to realize that he was lifting my night shirt to caress my breasts. I bent down and kissed him feverishly while he wiggled out of his shorts.

  We both laughed but didn’t stop. We were hungry. Hungry for love. I lowered my breasts to his mouth. He bit on each of my nipples in turn. It felt fantastic. I wanted more of the same when, suddenly, I felt his fingers teasing my clitoris. I moaned with pleasure. An exquisite sense of warmth traversed my being while I relished the sensation. I went to lie beside him and bent down to take his penis into my mouth. At first I didn’t know what to do or how to do it. I just sucked his cock and immediately heard Daniel groan with enjoyment. I let my mouth do the work until I felt his hands pull me up to him again and caress my breasts. He squeezed my nipples until they perked up. In a moment I was demanding more of the same. I saw a smile draw on his lips when his one hand traveled down to my vagina. He inserted two of his fingers into it – I was ready to scream with excitement – and flicked my clitoris with a third.

  “Come, Madison,” he murmured, “come on, let me see you. Let me watch you enjoy yourself.”

  He didn’t have to repeat his request – I was there. I had one of those fabulous orgasms where you can’t resist the flow of emotions exploding inside of you. When the sensation receded, he went down and licked me inside and out, literally. I was climbing the walls with sheer pleasure – more than pleasure – I was enthralled with love. I was going to scream when I had another orgasm. When the feeling abated slightly, he saddled his body over mine and penetrated me. God Almighty, I thought, I was going to shout over rooftops with joy. It felt as if I were complete – finally. The emptiness, the loneliness, the void had been filled. We were one – in love – I was sure. When he came, it felt as if I was suddenly replete with his love. I was so thrilled that I felt tears of joy emerge at the rim of my eyes. He looked at me and smiled gently.

  He lowered himself to the pillow and suggested that we take a quick shower. He was right. That smell was permeating my room again; besides, I felt wet and gooey all over.

  We rushed to the bathroom, locked the door and turned on the taps. One good thing about this house, I thought, was that rain-showerhead. We stood under it in each other’s arms. It was as if the world had vanished from around us. We were bathing in the love of our bodies.

  Daniel took the soap bar, and began to rub it against my back while I took his buttocks in my hands and pressed him against me. He handed me the soap and I started soaping him down. I rubbed his penis while he massaged my genitals lightly. When I felt the urge – the need for him – I placed his penis into my vagina with a moan of satisfaction. We stayed like that for several minutes (or so it seemed) until he licked my breasts and teased my nipples. I went down on my knees and sucked his cock again until he lifted me up to him.

  “I only want to come into you – not while you’re sucking me… I love to feel you… Lord, how I love this…”

  I didn’t respond. There was no need for words.

  His hand went down to my clitoris and massaged it again until I almost fainted from another violent orgasm. My body, my mind, my whole being was apparently starving for his love. I gasped with excitement when he released me for a fraction of a second before he penetrated me. A few moments later he had me pinned against the shower wall and was plunging into me rhythmically until he came.

  I couldn’t readily believe what was happening to us. We could not stop…. But in the end we did. We came out of the shower furtively, hoping our folks had not come home in the meantime, and quickly slipped into my room. We slid under the covers and within minutes we fell asleep.<

  CHAPTER 8

  The gentle beeping of my Skype screen woke me. I looked beside me. Daniel was gone. I exhaled a breath of relief. I looked at the clock on the screen. It was only eleven o’clock. I shouldn’t have been surprised. We had gone to bed, so to speak, fairly early and had fallen asleep after our all-so-pleasurable love making session.

  I sat down and clicked on the phone receiver. Instantly, Gaby’s face appeared on the screen. Judging from her puffy eyes, she’d been crying.

  “Sorry about this, Madison, but I didn’t know who to call.”

  “What happened?” I asked, dispensing with the small talk. “What’s going on, Gaby?”

  “It’s worse than we thought, Madison.”

  “What is?”

  “You know when I came by tonight, I told you about Elise and her gang…”

  “Yes, so? Did they contact you?”

  She shook her head. “No, and maybe they never will – I just hope they won’t.”

  “How do you mean?”

  “It’s just that I did what you said … about talking to Gill…”

  “And?”

  “And he was aware that they were buying some ecstasy from some woman or a girl at the chemistry lab. She’s an assistant apparently. But Gill says she’s got access to all sorts of pills at a job she’s got in a pharmacy.”

  “But how did Gill learn about all this?”

  “He heard guys talk about it before. Besides, he says that some of the guys asked him if he wanted some steroids – you know to build his muscles – just to tell him and he could get him some. I guess that’s how he learned about the drug trade at school.”

  “Okay, I hear what you’re saying Gaby. But why are you crying? Has Gill said anything about you seeing the girls?”

  “He just said that I should go to the police. Since I’m a witness, maybe they can stop that trafficker from getting into our school.”

  “That’s a good idea. But I don’t know what Elise’s reaction will be when she finds out who ratted her out.”

  “Exactly what I said to Gill. They saw me Madison. And even if they think nothing of it right now, when the police come knocking, Elise would put two and two together in no time.”

  “What do you plan to do then?” I could see the problem turning into a terrible ordeal in no time flat.

  “I don’t know Madison. I’m damned if I talk; I’m damned if I don’t.”

  “What about if Gill goes to the police with you in the morning?”

  “He can’t; he’s got a basketball training camp all weekend. I know he would if I’d asked him. But I’m not sure that I want to do that though.”

  “Why don’t we wait until Monday and see what is going to happen with Elise then?”

  “Yes, I think that’s a better idea. And maybe you should talk about this with Daniel…”

  “Why? You didn’t want to say anything to him when you were here this evening. What changed your mind?” I asked Gaby.

  “It’s Gill…”

  “What do you mean? Does he think Daniel is involved?” I was horrified at the thought. But was that what he had over the girls? Was he blackmailing them?

  “Gill said that Daniel has heard the rumors, the same as he has; so I thought maybe there shouldn’t be any secrets between us – like the four of us should be aware of what the other knows. What do you think?”

  “Yeah, maybe you’re right. I don’t know if Daniel is still awake, but if he is, I’ll get him to talk to you.”

  “Why me?” Gaby asked as I got up from my seat.

  “It’s better that you tell him – you’re the one who saw the girls.”

  “Okay, okay – you two are still not on speaking terms, are you?”

  “No, we’re trying to stay out of each other’s way.” And with these words, I left my room to go knocking on Daniel’s door.

  I banged on it actually. If he had his earphones on he wouldn’t hear a light rapping. I didn’t have to bang on the door but once, for he flung it open while I still had my hand up in the air.

  “Sorry to bother you, Daniel,” I said matter-of-factly, taking his hand in mine, “but I’ve got Gaby on the line and she needs to tell you exactly what happened tonight.”

  “Okay, no problem,” he replied, squeezing my hand and trotting behind me to my room.

  “Here he is,” I said to Gaby, as Daniel sat in my chair in front of the screen.

  “Hey there, how you doing?” he said, smiling at a still frightened Gaby.

  “Not very well. I’m sorry, but I should have talked to you earlier when I came to your place…”

  “Don’t worry, I know girls want…”

  “That’s not it, Daniel,” Gaby interrupted. “I really didn’t think that what I saw was that serious until I talked to Gill.”

  “What happened? Are you okay to tell me now?”

  “Yes. I think it’s a good idea to tell you.” She took in a breath and again related what she had seen at the gym that evening.

  When she was done, Daniel asked, “What did Gill say about this?”

  “He said that there were rumors about a chemistry lab assistant who was distributing (or selling) drugs on campus. I know nothing about that, but since Gill was offered some steroids, he thought these rumors might be true.”

  “Do you know who offered him the steroids?”

  “He didn’t say. You know him. He won’t point the finger at anyone until his life depends on it.”

  “Yeah, I know what you mean. But, you, what are you going to do about this?”

  I was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching Gaby’s expression on the screen.

  “I suppose I should go to the police, but I really don’t know if that would serve any purpose. What I saw could be nothing. I mean maybe Elise just bought something… I don’t know what to think Daniel.”

  “Why don’t you sleep on it and maybe talk about it again with Gill tomorrow.”

  “I can’t. He’s got this basketball training camp all weekend. But I think I’ll wait until Monday and see what happens in school before I do anything.”

  “Yeah, but maybe you shouldn’t go to the gym or anywhere without having someone with you.”

  “Don’t you start scaring me more than I am now, please?”

  “I don’t want to scare you, Gaby, but these girls are not playing games. Since they saw you, they must assume that you saw what they were doing, unless they think you were too dumb to realize what was going on…”

  “Do you mean they would want to eliminate me before I could talk to the police about what I saw?”

  “I think “eliminating” you, is not their intention. They wouldn’t have the guts. But they could certainly scare you into keeping your mouth shut.”

  “How would they do that?” Gaby asked, obviously puzzled.

  “I don’t really know; but look how they’ve treated Madison for years now. It was enough to drive her completely batty, wasn’t it?”

  “That it was. You’re right. And you think they could start doing the same with me?”

  “I don’t know. Maybe they wouldn’t dare because of Gill. But if they tell the woman who sells the drugs about you, that’s where the threat could come from.”

  The two of them fell silent for a minute. Daniel turned to me. “What do you think Madison?”

  “I think Gaby should wait until Monday, but then if she wants to go somewhere, since Gill’s not around maybe I could go with her.”

  “Not on your life, you don’t,” Gaby shouted. “You’re not going to risk being hassled on my account. I’ll just stay home. There’s plenty of TV to watch and I’ll try keeping busy. But I won’t go anywhere with either of you. If anything should happen to you guys, I would never forgive myself.

  I lowered my gaze and smiled.

  “Okay, Gaby,” Daniel said getting up, “Let’s get to bed. And please don’t hesitate to call on us anytime, okay?”

  I went to regain my seat. Daniel watched us until I
closed Skype and logged out.

  He then lifted me off my chair, took me in his arms and led me to the bed.

  We lay down and talked for a while. We were terribly exhausted but happy to be where we were – in each other’s arms. We then took off the little clothes we had on and caressed one another. It wasn’t long until we felt the urge to make love again. It was slow and delicious to say the least. We couldn’t leave our bodies alone and we wanted to be whole again. Daniel lowered himself to lick my clitoris.

  “You are gorgeous, you know that?” he said before he resumed his massage and his concerted licking.

  Meanwhile, I was suffering from sheer ecstasy. As soon as I had an orgasm, I begged him, “Come into me, please, Daniel? Please take me?”

  He chuckled softly and did what I asked. Once inside me, I thought I was going to faint from pleasure. But that wasn’t all. He grabbed my nipples and while he was enjoying his forceful yet gentle movements in and out of me, he massaged my breasts until I had another orgasm.

  In the end, we were both spent. We lowered ourselves on the bed, beads of perspiration pearling all over our glistening skin.

  It wasn’t long before I pulled the sheet over the two of us, and soon fell asleep.

  I truly don’t know how long we slept – it felt like only a few minutes – before I heard the garage door open. Our folks were home!

  CHAPTER 9

  The following Monday, Gaby told me that it had not been the end of her ordeal on Friday evening. She had received a call from Elise shortly after we quit talking on Skype. It went something like this apparently:

  “Hey, Elise, how are you doing?” Gaby said, trying to sound as innocent as she could under the circumstances.

  “You know very well how I’m doing you fatso. I saw you this evening at the café. What were you doing there?”
