Loving My Fiancé’s Sister, page 4
“Wow, that’s interesting,” I mumbled lamely. I was almost feeling a bit spiteful and jealous. Of course, Audrey snagged a man that wouldn’t be short of cash and who’d keep her sitting pretty on her high horse for the rest of her life. Since we were kids, our mother groomed her for a rich husband. She made sure my sister always looked the part with the best of everything, and it seems, all that attention has paid off.
Why am I feeling so envious right now? Is it because I like an idiot assumed, he’d be unattached, and we’d be able to exchange numbers and continue seeing each other after the fantastic time we’d spent upstairs? I’d never met a man so much my type before and to think the one time I do he’s a cheating scumbag who’s got the ego the size of his home state.
“I can’t believe I’m meeting Billionaire Ben. What an honor! I watch all of your motivational videos. You’re such an inspiration.” Luka continued to act like a teenage girl meeting her favorite singer, while Bennet, on the other hand, kept things calm. There was no doubt he was used to seeing this type of display of affection from grown men, so he didn’t bat an eye at the flattery. Audrey was eating it up as if Luka were talking about her accomplishments instead of her Fiancé’s.
She was hanging onto Bennett like a trophy she’d just won and wouldn’t dare let it go. I hate this. I thought I’d left this sick feeling of inferiority in the past, but it never ceases to amaze me how being in my sister’s shining light cast such a dark shadow over me. Feeling close to tears, I blink a few times, almost at my limit. How much longer I’d physically be able to keep it together. As if sensing my inner turmoil, Ben cuts off Luka’s ramblings and switches his focus onto me.
“Willow, you haven’t contributed much to this conversation. Why don’t you tell me about yourself? Audrey hasn’t shared much about you with me, and I have to admit I’m intrigued about the new woman in my life.” His voice flowed over me like a cool breeze caressing flushed skin on a hot day. I hate to say become immobile in thought and movement, and damn if my kitty didn’t involuntarily start clenching for what was there not long ago.
“Oh, look at the time. Sweetheart, I think it’s time to cut the cake and thank the guest for coming out.” As much as I detest my sister, I’m grateful she wanted to keep the relationship between Bennet and I from growing. It’s obvious suddenly wishing to cut the cake was her way of making sure he wouldn’t have a chance to get to know me. God only knows what she’s said to him about me, and I’m sure she wouldn’t want him to be able to form his own opinion. Unfortunately, it’s a bit late for that, my soon-to-be brother-in-law and I have already spent more time with each other than we should have.
“That can wait, Audrey. Everyone is having a wonderful time. Let’s not rush our guests to leave. I know, why don’t you have them bring it out while I finish my conversation with the happy couple?” Couple? Yeah, no, I’m done with this debacle. It’s clear I was invited here to be a punching bag, and I refuse to let it go on. As I’m planning my escape route, Luka gets a text and excuses himself. Before I could panic at being left alone with Bennett and Audrey, he returns with a pained expression on his face.
“Willow, I apologize, but there I have a family emergency. I, unfortunately, have to leave.”
“Oh, my goodness, is everything okay?” He smiles, rubbing my arm.
“I think everything will be fine. It’s my mother she fell while doing something she wasn’t supposed to be doing, so I’ll have to fly over to help her for a couple of days and have her paperwork straightened out. If you want, I can drop you off at home.”
“Good God, no! You get going. I’ll be fine catching a Taxi. You take care of your mother.”
“No, it’s no problem at all. Please allow me to at least take you back home.” Yes! Luka with the save!
“Thank you so much, let me grab my coat and say my goodbyes.” As I was starting to make my move to leave, I’m stopped short by Bennet.
“Hold on now. There’s no reason Willow should have to miss the rest of the party. Don’t worry about her. Take care of your mama. I can make sure she gets home safely.”
“Uhm, Bennet sweetheart, can I talk to you for a moment?” Ben raised a brow, nodding before excusing themselves. When they come back less than seconds later, Audrey is fuming, and Ben looks resolute.” Open your mouth and speak, say something Willow! You can do it! Say something NOW!
“Luka, as I said earlier, go on ahead. I can take care of Willow. You just make sure your mama is okay.” Luka inclined his head in thanks and hurried off, leaving me with two of the three people I wanted to avoid the most. “Well now that, that’s taken care of why don’t we enjoy that cake you were so adamant about having earlier. Then we can call it a night, between the flight here and the party and some unexpected exercise, I’m feeling pretty drained.” He looked at me, smirking, and I just wanted to make like a tree and leave.
“Bennet, you traveled via the comfort of a private jet, how can you be anything other than relaxed?” Audrey shrieked, turning to me, glaring as if I’m to blame. Why am I always the one getting glared at?! Bennett didn’t bother answering her. His mind had been made up, but I know one thing and two for sure. There is ABSOLUTELY no way in hell I’m getting in a car with him.
~*~
*Three hours later*
“All buckled in, ladies?” Ben asked with a broad smile on his face.
“Yes.” Audrey and I grumble in unison, as neither of us is getting our way tonight. I was sure she wanted alone time with her man, but I, on the other hand, wanted nothing more than to get the hell away from him. As far as I could go! I’ve felt uncomfortable the whole night due to Bennet’s unnerving gaze on me the entire time. He’s lucky Audrey was so caught up in being the center of everyone else’s attention, that she wasn’t the focus of the one person who mattered.
I peer out the window, feeling hot. When I look up, I see the source of the heat staring at me through the rearview mirror. Jeez, you’re an engaged man, and to my twin sister no less. Can you act accordingly? I so desperately want to shout but don’t. Sadly, I’m happy to have his eyes on me. It makes me feel alive, and my heart does funny things because of him. That’s why I need to get away. He’s taking me outside of my character, and I don’t like it. I’m praying since he mentioned he’s tired, this ride will be quick.
“Good. Safety and protection first.” He let out still looking at me through the rearview mirror, making me roll my eyes. Protection my ass! Both times his ole’ boot shoot boogie headass came inside of me, and he knew he was attached to someone. I wish he would! Even if it’s a joke, I’d still light him up! God, what did I do to deserve such torment?
Oh, how I hate this man but goodness the way he played with my body like an old country guitar and made my body sing, and now I know the definition of dicked down. Still, though, this is entirely too much, and I refuse to be a part of the narrative he’s trying to spin. Even though I hate the thought of how my mother, Audrey, and the rest of my family will view me when they find out what I’ve done, I still can’t bear to keep this to myself. I feel horrible, and my continued attraction makes me feel even worse. No, I have to tell Audrey, no matter what. She’s the real victim in all of this.
I’m the fool who allowed a man I didn’t know fuck me into submission upon first laying eyes on him. Who fucking does that anyway? Not me! I could proudly say, at least until a few hours ago… God, I’m so dumb. Any number of things could have been wrong with his health. I can’t believe it. I still feel most of the blame is on him. Yes, I was there with a date and should have been more considerate of Luka’s feelings, but the reality is, even though what I did was shitty, it wasn’t immoral. What kind of ass fucks another woman during his engagement party, in his soon-to-be bride’s childhood home?
The car was eerily quiet, with everyone seeming lost in our thoughts, so there was no conversation. To make things a million times worse, Audrey, the Queen of getting her way, is making it blatantly known she’s pissed! Ughhh, I just want to go home! As we pulled to a stop, Ben leaned over to peck a surprised Audrey on her cheek.
“Bennet? What’s this? Why are we in front of my house? I thought we agreed that I’d be going to your house here before we left.” Ben looks her way smiling with not one care in the world.
“I changed my mind.” My sister’s mouth dropped open, and from many years living with her, I knew she was about to erupt. I prepare to cover my ears because I know from experience that girl has a pair of lungs on her. But I’m shocked when she does not of the sort and just sit there pouting.
“But…but baby, I changed my mind about staying at my mother’s house because I wanted to spend more time with you.” Tsk, more like you changed your mind because you wanted to keep a watchful eye on your billionaire fiancé with another woman but go off sis because I don’t blame you.
“I’m aware.” He looked down at her still smiling and you could tell even with his all-American white boy look. That there is no point in trying to change his mind once he’s made it up. Earlier, he was but a man. Now, on the other hand, we’re in the presence of a powerful man who would accept nothing less than what he’d had his mind set on. In other words, Audrey had to get the hell out of his car. Jeez, what a douche, who treats their fiancé this way? I’m no big fan of my sister, but I still love her, so seeing her so hurt bothered me a bit.
Though all that sympathy I just claimed to feel fled the moment in pure Audrey form of wanting to get the last word or last action per se. She grabs his head smashing her lips to his tongue kissing him making sure to add smacking noises. Watching them made my stomach turn in uneasiness, but I couldn’t take my eyes away. I’ve always wanted the love and attention Audrey received, but at this moment, I wanted it more than ever before. I’m ashamed of how much I want to be in her shoes. When he pulled away from the kiss his eyes cut my way. She said a husky goodbye.
“Have a good night, Audrey.”
“You as well, baby. I’ll call you tonight.” She came out huskily without bothering to acknowledge me as she opened the door to get out of the car. Ben sat there quietly as he watched Audrey walk safely into her building. As soon as she disappeared, he turns my way with a crisp tone.
“Front seat now.” His voice was booming and seemed to vibrate throughout the car’s interior like an unexpected thunderstorm on a clear day. Jumping from the sudden force of his statement, I scramble out of the back of the car, scared as shit. Once I’m settled, with my seatbelt buckled, he pulls off the curb.
“Uhm, excuse me, Bennet, you’re going the wrong way. I can pull up the directions for you. If you’re unfamiliar with the California area.” Nothing. Not a peep.
“Ben-”
“Just shut up, Willow!” he growled without taking his eyes off the road. Shocked and most certainly appalled my eyes widen, and I snap my mouth shut. If I were in my right state of mind, I would have told him what he could do with all these orders he’s throwing my way, and I’d knock him down a peg or two in a way I’m sure my twin couldn’t for the way he’s treating me, but… He’s using the same voice he dominated me within that bedroom. The strong black woman in me turned to putty in his hands, and all I could do is tightly clench my thighs together, hoping to ease the growing tension at my center. This isn’t good.
I need to get as far away from this man as possible, but the further he drives me from home, the more unlikely that possibility will come true. Why am I thinking about the possibility of my throbbing pussy being dominated?
Forty minutes later, we pulled into the driveway of a house so damn big I wondered how much land it sat on. After parking, he quietly comes around to my side of the car, opening my door. As he pulls me out with one arm my brain starts firing all time of warning bells. What should I do? Should I refuse to go into the large house he’s leading me to? Should I push myself from his strong arms? Yes! Yes, I should. Willow stand your ground and demand to be taken home. Acting like I have no power is beneath me. Sleeping with my sister’s fiancé is beneath me!
So much for my pep talk. As he pressed the numbers on the keypad then places his thumb to the electronic scanner and unlocking the door of his home. I swallow, stepping forward and debating if I should go in, but the decision is made for me because he gently pushes me forward.
“Inside.” He commands gruffly in my ear leaving no room for refusal. I want so badly to look behind me so I can gauge what’s running through his head, but I don’t have the courage and enter on shaky legs. All anxiousness was blown to smithereens the moment I step into the foyer which opens up to a large and beautiful living room surrounded by floor to ceiling windows.
“Curtains close.” I watch in awe as all the curtains in the house started to glide shut.
“Wo-,” Bennett snakes his hands around my neck. Tuning me to face slightly adds pressure to my forcing me to make eye contact, and I immediately noticed the crazed look in his eyes. Tingles and goosebumps hold my body hostage as I take in the hazy out of focus color of his eyes. A few thoughts bounced around my head while looking at him, but the main one was on repeat. Run!
“Willow. I’m pissed do you know why?”
“N-no.” He glared at me, seemingly getting more pissed at the fact that I don’t know why he’s upset.
“You’re trying my patience Willow, but fine I’ll tell you. How DARE you allow that fucker to touch you in front of me!” Huh? Not only did he look crazy, but he was also talking crazy too! What fucker? Does he mean Luka, the person who actually had a right to touch me? That fucker?!
“Uhm… I think you’re confused. I’m not your fiancé, my sister is.”
“Do you think I give a damn about that?”
“Exc-”
“IF I HEAR ANOTHER WORD FROM THAT DELECTABLE LITTLE MOUTH OF YOUR’S I’LL STUFF MY COCK SO FAR DOWN YOUR THROAT, YOU’LL BE GAGGING FOR MONTHS!” Clamping my mouth shut, and hold my breath watching him with heavy-lidded eyes unsure of what was going to happen next, or what would come out of his mouth. “Because nothing you say can stop the chain events that started the moment, I slid into this-,” he cups my center, “tightness of yours.” He pauses, leaning forward to nibble my ear with a groan. At the same time, he adds extra pressure to my neck, cutting off a bit of my air, making my heart rate pick up a little more. With his eyes still on me, he steps away, releasing me. Nodding my agreement, I follow him into a living room where I ease myself into one of the comfortable sofas.
“Now, Willow, let’s talk.” I raise my brow at his audacity.
“Talk? About what exactly? I don’t want to do anything with you. I want to go home and pretend today never happened.” His chuckle rolled through my body like a vibration.
“Baby we also supposed to pretend I didn’t completely dismantle your insides as well?”
“How dare you!” I stood, ready to leave. This bastard is as crass as he was sexy. He and my sister are made for one another. “You asshole, did it escape your comprehension that YOU ARE ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED TO MY SISTER?! Today I made a mistake, one I’ll likely never be able to live down, but I’m going to chalk it up to a lapse in judgment on both our parts and move on. You don’t know me, so you also don’t know that I won’t stand for this treatment.” I yell, making my way back to the front door. Just get out of the house and call a taxi. Just make it out of the house.
As I reached for the handle, I feel my body in motion as Bennet quickly picks me up and slammed me against the door with his body and erection pressed against my back.
“Know you? You weren’t saying that when I was fucking you and your tight pussy was weeping on my cock. I don’t have to know you to see you want me just as badly as I want you. I can hear you trying to control your breathing, and the scent of your arousal is thick in the air.”. He licked my neck and groaned. “Give yourself to me.”
“I-I can’t. Today was a mistake. Had I known who you were, it wouldn’t have happened. I’m not a whore who typically fucks men upon first meeting them. I let you fuck me in my family home, with a house full of people, my date, and your fiancé not too far away. Who does that? That’s not who I am, and I refuse to stand here any longer with you trying to make me behave like someone I’m not.”
That speech left my chest heaving, and my eyes watering. I couldn’t stop shaking. Don’t you dare let those tears fall.
I turn to face Bennet to see him watching me with longing, and maybe, dare I say, understanding.
“I’m sorry, Willow. You’re not a whore, and I don’t see you as one. It may not seem like it, but I’m fully aware of my behavior, and there’s no excuse for what happened at my engagement party, or the things I’ve said to you after. I’m ashamed of how things transpired between us, but I have to admit, I don’t feel the teeniest bit of remorse like I probably should about what we did.” He looked sincere as he raked a shaky hand through his golden-brown locks
“I’m not naïve. I know it’s primarily my fault that things have become so screwed up. I could have handled you and the situation a lot better by simply introducing myself instead of... you know.”
We stand there in silence, staring at one another. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I know the situation that I’m in is dangerous, beastly, even. Yet standing this close to him, looking deep in his eyes… I almost don’t care. Wanting so desperately to go into the lion’s den and do something we’d most certainly have to apologize for again later, but I can’t, and I don’t. Pushing him off me, I step away taking a deep breath.
“We’re both at fault, and we’ve both accepted responsibility that’s all that matters. How about since we’re going to be family soon, let’s call it even and try to put this behind us. It works out better this way because I don’t have to tell my sister and she won’t in turn tell my family. I’ll stay away from you both and allow you to live your lives happily ever after. I’m going to call a cab and go home.” A pained expression comes over him, but I ignore it.
