STEPBROTHER (R-18) novel Chapter 44

Scarletts P.O.V

You're surprised to find the scenery vibrant and uplifting. The hike up the small mountain is faster than anticipated, especially considering Oliver has distracted you with intimate caresses, and filthy promised words.

He's something else

Your mouth is a thin line when you near an area that overlooks miles of trees below, a few picnic tables scattered about.

"What is this?"

Oliver twists to look back at you as you follow him to a picnic table, and waves you along.

"Always one with the questions. I'm hungry"

The way he grins, and moves his tongue teasingly over his perfect smile, you shiver knowing he's hoping you'll be the snack he gets to devour.

"Hm, well maybe we can do something about that"

He chuckles softly, tuning his attention back too the picnic table as you both near it, wind moving through his hair, dishevelling the soft brown locks. You pull off your backpack and set it beside you. You flex your fingers, wanting to feel the softness around your fingers but unsure exactly how much affection he can handle.

"Sit. You've gotta eat"

"Oh, I have to now, huh?"

"Mhm. You're going to need all the energy you can get"

"You're bossy, you know that?"

He winks at you, and your grin like a bubbly idiot, and sit on the bench as he begins to empty the contenders of his backpack, pulling out a bunch of picnic food. Your stomach rumbles, churning with hunger which appears out of nowhere.

"If I'm going to fuck you senseless on our way down, I need you to be energised"

Oh my...

"Energised it is then"

You reach for the sandwich that's bagged up, and pull it out before examining it.

"I packed three different kinds. I realised I wasn't sure exactly what you like"

"Turkeys fine"

He nods, popping a piece of popcorn in his mouth before his eyes shift to the beautiful view that lays just behind him.

"The views great"

You give him a quick 'mhm' in response, but he's unaware you're staring at him. You're engrossed in how relaxed he seems right now. How he sits, head angled towards the sun which looms above an endless bound of trees and wildlife. So much worry can typically be seen carried in his stature, but at that moment, he doesn't appear uptight or tense. He appears carefree. Purely happy.

I wish I could see more of this. I hope I get to.

He catches you staring at him. Despite the way he shakes his head and blinks a few times, you cant deny the blush that rises to his cheeks the way you marvel, making him embarrassed.

He's adorable when he's embarrassed

"See something you like?"

He raises his brows, a knowing smirk on his lips. You match his smirk, tapping your chin to feign contemplation, before you lean towards him and place a teasing kiss on his lips.

"You're not the only ones who's hungry"

He widens his eyes, snickering with shocked amusement as you bat innocent lashes at him.

"Hungry, Scar? We might have to do something about that"

Yes please.

You begin to get excited, ready to skip lunch completely to be devoured by him, but he shakes his head and clucks his tongue at you.

"Eat first. I wont have you passing out on me"

You pout, crossing your arms over your chest as he pushes a small bag of chips your way. You stick out your tongue before you pop the bag open and manage to inhale a chip.

"S-satisfied?"

He rolls is eyes, a usual, and shakes his head.

"Scarlett... just do as you're told and I promise you, you wont regret it."

You shiver by his insinuation, knowing there's so much truth behind his words. You peer longingly at him before you tear your gaze away to calm yourself and begin eating thoughtfully.

"This was well thought out"
