I LISTENEDÂ to her pathetic little sounds as she cried and whimpered, hating how part of me actually ached the same. But we werenât the same. Not even close. I went to my room and closed the door behind me.
Hate filled me as I threw my keys on the dresser and kicked off my boots. This was just the last fucking betrayal Iâd known was coming. I was actually surprised heâd waited this long. I bet he couldnât wait for mom to die, couldnât wait to move on and fuck other women, out in the open at least. I knew damn well he didnât give a shit when she was still alive. But why did it have to be her?
Why did it have to be that little bitchâs mother?
I yanked my shirt free as the sound of her sobs reached me, making me clench my fists and turn to glare at the door. âShut the fuck up or Iâll give you something to cry about,â I muttered under my breath.
The sounds grew quieter, leaving me to turn back to my bed. I unbuttoned my jeans, kicked them off, and climbed between the sheets. But I didnât close my eyes. Instead, I stared at the ceiling in the darkness, their grunts and moans taking up space inside my head.
But it was her haunted eyes that burned through those fucking sounds.
The whites almost neon in the dark.
The way sheâd jerked her gaze toward me as Iâd stepped into her view. I didnât know why Iâd wanted her to see me, why Iâd wanted her to feel as betrayed as I felt. Why I wanted to share that moment, that brutal fucking moment. I closed my eyes and turned to my side as a wave of perfume hit me.
I opened my eyes, finding the pale blur in the dark. Her panties. Soft, worn, cotton fucking panties only a good girl wore. I licked my lips, panic taking flight inside me as I drew them close. In my head, those sounds of our parents became ours.
My tiny, tight little mouse.
Christ, I grew hard at the fantasy.
But she wasnât so compliantâ¦no, in my head, she bucked and writhed, fighting to hold onto her virtue. I clenched my fist around the fabric as my balls grew tight and became hard. There was something about her that made me like thisâ¦
Like a blinding light for my darkness.
And I was darknessâ¦
But I didnât reach for my cock this time. Instead, I let the fantasy play in my mind, and the more vibrant it became, the more I realized I wanted her. I wanted that tiny little mouse. To see her squirm, to watch her cheeks redden. To stare into the reflection of my own pain in her eyes.
I wanted her to feel like I felt; hurtâ¦abandonedâ¦
I wanted to make her fucking buck and cry. I wanted her humiliated. A pang tore through my chest at the savagery. I closed my eyes and inhaled deep, letting her ruin play out in my headâ¦and finally slept.
My eyes burned when I woke. My heart hammered, panic moving through me as I wrenched open my eyes and shoved upright. I glanced around my darkened room, finding nothing but the murky gloom.
I clenched my fist around something soft and looked down.
White.
I blinked, fighting the blur, and looked again.
White pantiesâ¦
And all of a sudden, it hit meâ¦last nightâ¦the sounds coming out of my fatherâs bedroom. That fist in my gut returned as revulsion slammed into me, then changedâ¦becoming harder, colderâ¦I glanced at the doorway, then looked down at my fist. Turning into something that scared meâ¦and excited me all at the same time.
I kicked off the sheets and rose, made my way out of my room, and headed for the bathroom to take a piss. When I was done, I turned and headed for Nickâs, shoved open the door and stepped inside, kicking a pair of black lace panties as I went. He was still asleep, one arm wrapped around Natalieâ¦who was naked and sprawled out beside him.
Her big tits splayed to the side, the dark brown nipples soft and smooth. I stepped closer, dragging my gaze from her breasts to her round stomach and her shaved mound. Still there was nothing, no surge of desire, not even a twitch of my cock. She may as well have been a dude.
âHey.â I jerked my gaze to my brother. âGet the fuck up.â
âPiss off,â he muttered without even opening his eyes.
I kicked the side of the bed, drawing a moan from my brotherâs girlfriend. âWe need to fucking talk.â
âNick,â she moaned, and rolled over. âMake the bad man go away.â
I glared at Natalie as Nick cracked open his eyes. âWhat the fuck is it?â
I just glanced at the bitch next to him, then met his glare once more.
âFineâ¦â he groaned and gave her a shove. âNatâ¦time to go.â
âJesus, â she bitched, then gave a long, deep groan and opened her eyes, stabbing me with a glare as she pushed up from the bed. âYou know, you really suck all the happiness out of the world.â
âNice to see you too, Natalie,â I muttered. âGive my best to Derek.â
A pillow sailed through the air, hitting me in the stomach. Natalie just snarled as she swiped her clothes from the floor before yanking them on in a huff. I paid her no mind. Instead, I stared at my brother, who watched her with zero fucking interest until she yanked open his bedroom door and stormed out.
âWell done,â Nick grumbled. âNow Iâll have her bitching at me for the next goddamn week over you being a fucking prick.â
âWhy was she here in the first place? She cheated on youâ¦â
âIt was a mistake,â he mumbled as he looked away.
âWhich time?â
Sparks of rage burned in his glare. âFuck you, Tobias.â
The problem was, he was angry at the wrong person. Iâd heard the way sheâd begged him to take her back, telling him it was all a misunderstandingâ¦at first, until the truth came out. Then there were the tears. Like the doormat he was, Nick had taken her back.
But it was only a matter of time before she did it again. If not with Derek Carmichael, then some other fucking schmuck. The front door slammed shut with a . âYou can do better.â
âAnd you can shut the fuck up,â he barked, and shoved the sheets aside. âWhat the fuck do you know about love, anyway?â
âYou love her, really?â
He just curled his lips and flipped me off as he hunted around for his boxers. âWhat the fuck was so goddamn important that you had to ruin my sleep, anyway?â
âDad is fucking someone.â
He stilled, then shot a surprised glare my way. âWhat?
âWho the fuck do you think, dickhead?â
It took him a whole second before it dawned. âThe woman downstairs?â
I just nodded.
âNo way.â He yanked on his boxers and ran his fingers through his hair. âYouâre lying.â
âI heard them last night.â
He swallowed, searched my eyes for the truth, then rocked backwards. âJesusâ¦
âHer,â I answered carefully. âAnd I wasnât the only one who heard them, either.â
âCaleb heard as well?â
I shook my head. âNo, not Caleb.â
It dawned on him then. I saw the connection, that before he stalled hard, and when he spoke again, his voice was husky. âShe heard her mom and our dad?â
I nodded.
He tried to fight it, tried to drive away the image that rose, meâ¦herâ¦standing there listening to our parents fucking.
âWhatâd she do?â he asked, slowly looking my way.
âThe stupid little bitch didnât know what it was, not at first. I caught the moans on my way to my bedroomâ¦before I heard her coming from the bathroom and down the stairs. She stopped when her mom told dad to fuck her harder.â
âJesus.â He licked his lips. âShe heard that?â
âShe didâ¦â A charge of excitement raced through me, pulsing, I didnât need to look to know I liked it, and by the way he swallowed and sucked in a hard breath, I knew he liked it too.
âSheâs just a kid.â
âSheâs eighteen.â
âA. Kidâ¦â
âI bet sheâs never been fucked.â
He closed his eyes. âTobias, donât, you sick fuck,â he moaned.
âI saw her wearing one of Calebâs t-shirts, those little tits perky and hard.â
He shook his head and lowered it. âNo.â
âHer mom is fucking our dad not even a month after ours died.â I stated the facts. âYou think heâs just going to move her out now?â
âHeâs a good guy,â my brother growled, and lifted his head, meeting my gaze.
âYou keep saying that and one day you might believe it.â I strode closer. âFresh young pussy,â I continued. âI bet sheâs never even been licked. I bet she tastesâ¦
Purer than Natalieâ¦and Iâd occupied the room next to my brother long enough to know he not only liked to fuck, but he liked to eat, as well.
âHave you touched her?â he asked. But this time, there was no hint of disgust. This time, excitement raged in his eyes.
âNot yet,â I answered, desire and anger bleeding into one. âBut I willâ¦â
âIf dad catches you, heâll kick you out.â
âNot the first time, would it be?â I met his stare. âBesides, I wonât do anything unless he does. If they move out, then Iâll never look at Ryth again.â
âBut if they donât, what then?â
âThen I guess Iâll have to take my anger out on her sweet young body, wonât I?â
âYouâre sick,â he muttered.
âAnd youâre just as excited. The only difference is, youâre too fucking weak to do anything about it. Youâll just keep fucking the same bitch who cheats on you with other guys and pretend itâs love.â
âGet the fuck out, Tobias,â my brother warned. âBefore I forget weâre blood and beat the living shit out of you.â
Heâd do it, tooâ¦Iâd seen him angry.
Seen him drive his fist through a car window.
And Iâd seen him walk away, as well.
But Iâd never seen him so tortured as he was right now as he licked his lips and looked toward the doorway. He was thinking about it.
His body was craving something his mind knew was wrong. It was only a matter of time before one would winâ¦the only question was,
