Nora:

“What? What do you mean? What do you know?” The panic wasn’t the best way of showing him

that I was guilty. I should’ve acted clueless and stayed calm.

“I know you have feelings for them, and it’s completely sexual,” he added, causing me to take a

deep breath as he observed the anxiety. building up in my body.

“I’m not sure—no!” I laughed at first, then sternly shook my head to dismiss his accusations.

“Nora! When I brought you here, you were talking in your sleep. You said some really weird stuff

about Cain and Ryker,” he explained more clearly, and every time he spoke, it felt like somebody

was pouncing on

1. me.

I felt embarrassed and ashamed.

“I must be really high,” I joked, but soon every trace of a smile. vanished from my lips when he

narrowed his eyes at my face.

“I understand, though,” he quickly added to calm me down, and he did.

“It’s normal for two adults to feel such tension. And you’re young, brought here to the mansion

among such hotties,” he tried to joke before clearing his throat and saying, “You also have desires,

and since you haven’t even found a mate yet, I understand your frustration. Besides, it’s not like

we’re stepsiblings.”

It helped listening to him say that. That’s how I felt too. I couldn’t just be someone’s stepsister just

because I was left to live in their home.

“However, you’re a virgin and they do feel heat and stuff when around sexy alphas or alpha kings,”

the minute he talked about my virginity, my mouth went dry. Oh no! I’ve told them all I’m a virgin.

Now who will I say I lost my virginity to? Because that certain someone doesn’t. even want to

acknowledge it.

“Right! About that–” I cleared my throat, gently pushing my finger against my chin as he kept

watching my face in bewilderment.

“I’m not sure—how to tell you but—I am no longer—in fact,” I gulped, clearing my throat.

“Nora! You know very soon the documents will be signed and then you will become our official

stepsister, right?” he added in such a calm. tone that for a moment, even I thought to react calmly.

But then it struck me.

Official stepsister? That would mean I cannot be with my mates. How did I forget about it?

“I just want to know if anything has happened between you and my brothers,” he narrowed his eyes,

looking intimidating.

“I am really asking you this once. I just want to know,” he added, using an alpha king tone with me.

“Will you get angry if I said—something like, maybe–?” I squeezed my body closer, watching him

examine my reaction.

“No!” His response helped me let out a deep breath of relief.

“Does that mean–?” he tilted his head.

“Not really. Um! Accidentally, yes,” I nodded my head, and he lowered his face, probably coming up

with the next question.

“With Cain and Ryker?” he inquired, not even raising his head. It was getting too personal, but I was

kind of just confiding in him because I couldn’t in anyone else.

“With Silas too,” the minute I said that, Nash shot his head up and glared at me with so much

intensity that I jumped and slid away from him.

“You said you won’t get angry,” I pointed my finger at him, calling him out for lying to me.

“I’m not angry. Just tell me what and how it happened,” he closed his eyes, but I saw his jaw

clench.

“No! I’m not saying anything else anymore,” I got up, but his hold against my wrist pulled me down

again, almost making me fall on him.

“If you won’t tell me, I won’t help you in the future,” he folded his muscular arms over his chest and

shook his foot.

“Help me in what?” I asked with a frown.

“Anything. There are so many ways I can help you. Maybe get you out of trouble or—give you

something you want,” I didn’t know what he

was hinting at, but getting out of tr was hinting at, but getting out of trouble sounded like a good

deal.

I took a deep breath and lowered my head as I uttered, “When I first arrived at the mansion, Cain

thought I was one of his models, so he touched me—with his brush and umm finger on the upper

part of the forbidden two cities,” I finished, and by then, I swear my cheeks must have turned red.

They were itching so much.

“Aha! Okay, what about Silas?” he asked, his voice sounding a little hoarse.

“Umm! This one day we were fighting over the remote controller, and I hid it in my shirt, thinking he

wouldn’t reach out for it,” I paused as he added.

“And he did.”

“Yes! He did. He scratched me up in that whole mess, and then he tried to make things right by

applying medicine, but he ended up– touching my two cities,” I finished, covering my face in my

hands and feeling like I was crazy.

And why the heck was I telling him everything?

“Okay! What about Ryker?” he questioned, and this time, I started to remember all the times we had

been intimate.

And none of those times was a mistake. But then I recalled something that Natalya had been

threatening me over.

“We were talking and were standing pretty close when We accidentally–.” I stopped because Nash

had something to say.

“Did your two cities come between you two?” I liked his sarcasm, but I shook my head.

“No! We kissed,” I finished, and as I raised my head, I watched his widen.

all this time?” he in

“Wow! So they were teasing you and I grimaced at the choice of his words.

“Don’t say it like that,” I hissed, slapping the back of his hand.

“Kissed as in, you used tongue?” I don’t know why he was so keen on talking about details.

“Ugh! Can we stop talking about it? I’m already embarrassed enough,” I sighed, hoping maybe it

would be over when I heard him say over when I heard him say

something under his breath.

“So, basically, you and I are the only ones who haven’t mistakenly been intimate then?” I gulped

because when I looked at his face, I found a little something naughty in his eyes.
