83–My StepBrother And My Naked Friend

Nora:

“Open the door,” I muttered through my clenched jaw.

“This is so scary. I hate the dark,” Natalya was probably on the floor, crying her eyes out. It had

been fifteen minutes since we were stuck here. The library was really dry. I don’t know, but ever

since we were trapped here, our throats kept closing, and

mouths were drying up.

“Silas!” I knocked harder this time. If c

we had brought our

phones with ourselves.

“I want to go home,” she kept crying, and Silas was not responding anymore. I was so angry and

also feeling dizzy. I shouldn’t have listened to her and let it rest. There was obviously no way Silas

would let us use his library like that.

“What are you doing?” It was then that I noticed Natalya had fallen silent, and she was rummaging

through the drawers.

“I am trying to find any torch,” she replied, crying and sobbing.

“I don’t think you should be going through his stuff,” I uttered, trying to make her understand that if

she wants to get out of here alive, she needs to stop going through his personal stuff.

I found her turn on a little torch and then point the light at the door.

“You found a torch,” I smiled, hoping she would light up the way

for me, but she kept looking through his drawers.

As I attempted to follow the light to her, I hit my knee on the edge of the table and groaned in pain.

“Natalya! Light it up here,” I screamed, and she finally closed the drawer and lit up the path for me.

I reached her and snatched the torch out of her hands, pointing it at the door and then at the rest of

the library. It was not a small library; it was a cylindrical hall.

“Let’s beg him to open the door for us,” Natalya requested, fixing her shirt.

“As if we haven’t been doing that already,” I rolled my eyes, walking up to the door and sighing

about what could be done.

“I have to pee, I cannot control it,” she requested, jumping up and down.

“This is why you need to listen to me once,” exhausted with her constant childish acts, I yelled at

her, and she sank in her body.

“Ugh!” I kicked the door, and suddenly, I heard the rattling from inside. The smiles on our faces

indicated we were aware that we had been rescued.

The door opened to a view of two brothers in front of us. Silas was standing across the hall with his

arms folded over his chest and his eyes glaring at us, whereas the one who opened the door was

Nash. He was shirtless, with sleep still lingering in his

eyes.

“You cannot be serious right now Nash turned to yell at Silas.

Tell them not to come near my private property again, Silas, without showing any guilt, uttered.

“You could have said no. There is no need to be violent. Look at her, she is all sweaty and

exhausted, Nash pointed at me as he taught his brother there are ways to deal with someone. If he

didn’t want us inside, he should have just told us.

“And you two, go use dad’s library. He is not a psycho like Silas,” Nash said in a sleepy tone. I am

sure he would have been so rude to us had he not been woken up from a deep slumber.

“Thank you,” I said to Nash before doing so, I passed Silas one dea

printing past him. While glance. He had been really a

bad brother, and I was finally maxing up my mind to give him where it hurts. I will fucking teach him

a lesson.

“I cannot wait,” Natalya was faster than me as she sprinted back to the bedroom to relieve herself.

And honestly speaking, I slowed down because I felt so relieved with her not being on my side for

once.

I took my time as I walked past Cain’s study, and as he always does it, he grabbed my arm and

pulled me inside.

“Hey, hey, hey!” I complained, eyeing him to be careful.

“Did you not read my messages?” he placed his hands on his waist and asked me.

“I did, but—Natlaya wouldn’t leave me alone. I had to take her to Silas‘ library where he locked us

for half an hour,” I pouted, folding my arms over my chest as I delivered the report to him.

“He is a douche. But listen—we need to talk,” he cleared his tone

as he scratched the back of his neck.

“About what?” I knew what he wanted to talk about. But these brothers have made my life miserable

at many points, so I didn’t want to make things easier for him either.

“The mate bond and what it does,” he licked his tongue, indicating he was having a hard time

coming up with the right words.

“What it does?” I raised my brow.

“Fine. That we will be in heat very soon and want to fuck each other like animals, is that a goo

nough explanation?” His sudden straightforwardness tinted my cheeks red, and I almost slapped

him on the chest.

“Don’t say it like that,” I grunted in embarrassment.

“Well, that is the issue. Now I don’t know what to do,” he was so clever. He didn’t want to say that

he wanted me to find a solution so that he could be free of any blame.

“I don’t know either. Besides, my friend wants you to paint her,” I tried to change the subject and

also thought I would just give Natalya an answer so that she doesn’t constantly bring up this topic

again.

“Huh? You want me to paint her naked?” The way he tilted his head and raised his brow was

enough indication he was watching me for my reaction.

“Yes, I have no issue with it,” I shrugged, trying to sound careless. And that’s where I messed up. I

didn’t know.my stepbrother was an expert in this game.

“Okay! Then I will paint her naked in the most seductive pose ever tonight,” as he declared, my jaw

met the floor.

I was maybe expecting he would say he cannot paint her naked, especially after feeling the mate

bond with me, but I guess I was hoping for too much.
