"I have to rush to the bathroom… I'll change into my clothes and you stay right here," I said to Derek, my chest heaving as panic overwhelmed me. Derek held my hands and smiled and I watched as he slid his fingers into my hair before getting on his feet.
Gosh! This is not the time to act romantic.
We had all the fun yesterday.. My aunt is back and she mustn't suspect a thing. She can be quite suspicious about things and I don't want her to find out about what we did. It won't be good if things end on a bad note. Our plan was to inform my parents about us being mates at the right time.
"Derek, we have no much time. I have to go and see her.."
"You don't have to worry, I'll be the one to open the door for her. I'll just change into my pants and sweater. Go and have your bath, okay?" Derek said and I nodded before grabbing my clothes.
Before I turned to leave, he dragged my hand and gave me a quick peck on the forehead.
He left and I dashed into my room at once with my clothes clutched to my chest.
Gosh! Derek can be so romantic but he doesn't have to be sweet to me all the time. What if we get in trouble because of this?
I heard the creaking sound of the door and I'm sure my aunt must have walked in. She must be happy to see Derek open the door for her.
Without wasting much time, I dunked into the bathtub and bathed as fast as I could. I had no idea why I was feeling so nervous and scared as well. My aunt can't suspect a thing….can she?
I cupped my breast and gazed at my body, staring at the love bites Derek made on my neck. Memories of our intimacy flooded across my mind and I had a mixed feeling about it. Maybe because he's officially my stepbrother and we're still having sex together…
Do I see him as a stepbrother or as a mate?
I sank my fingers into my blonde hair and gave it a light massage, not knowing how to react or feel after everything.. I sank into the bathtub, feeling guilty, sad, anxious, angry, and scared.
I can't even tell what my emotion was at the moment. I can't stop myself from loving Derek…. Even if he's now my stepbrother, I still can't stop it because he's my mate as well.. My body craves for him.. I can't stop thinking about him..
I think it's high time we told our parents. I can't handle keeping it anymore. It makes me wanna go insane.
I remembered how he caressed my skin, how he fucked me with his fingers, how he licked my earlobe… how he spanked me and gave me those nice thrusts. I wouldn't deny that I loved every moment with him. I can't stop loving my Derek and I can't reject him for any reason.
"Isabel! I'm back.." Aunt Caroline yelled and I knew she was approaching my room. I sighed and washed my face, and then, I sighted Derek's mark on my neck.
F**k! She mustn't see this.. oh shit! What if she decides to stay here till I'm out of the bathroom? She could have come to see me after I'm fully dressed and have concealed the mark on my skin
Why does she have to come in now?
"Isabel.." She called as she knocked on my door and I responded right from the bathroom. Knowing I wasn't dressing at the moment or doing some private things, she decided to walk into the room and sit on my bed.
"How was your night, girl?" She asked and I tried to feign innocence..
"I didn't know you were back until I heard your voice. Did Derek open the door for you?" I asked, ignoring her previous question entirely.
"Yeah.. Derek opened the door for me. I was so surprised to see him. He said he had no idea if you were awake so I decided to check up on you. I'm so sorry I wasn't able to spend the night with you guys. To make up for what I did, I got you so many snacks and gifts."
Aunt Caroline disclosed and I smiled before twitching my lips. She often does this to make up for any of her deeds. I'm not surprised.
"I got you guys fries, smoothies, sandwiches and yeah, Riverdale Fried Chicken as well. You guys have always wanted to try it right.?" She asked and I replied with a "Yes,"
"Thanks for the gifts, Aunt..."
"It's my pleasure.." My aunt replied and ended up sighing.. I prayed inwardly for her to leave as I wasn't comfortable with her in my room. I feared that she might see the mark on my neck and might get suspicious. My aunt asks a lot of questions and she will definitely be angry with me that I didn't tell her that I've found my mate yet.
Worse is if she learns that my mate is none other than my own stepbrother…
She will surely suspect that we must have slept with each other since werewolves can't resist their fated mates.
"So .. How was it after I left last night? Did you guys continue with the movie and what did you do afterwards?" My aunt asked and I gulped down the lump in my throat twice. Her words rang like a bell in my ear. What exactly does she want to know?
She loves to engage in a chat with people and once I start discussing with her, she won't show any signs of leaving the room anytime soon.
After exhaling, I replied… "We watched another movie but I kinda got bored and sleepy so I left for my room."
My heart raced after there was a brief silence.. Is she thinking of something? Or perhaps does she think we actually slept together?
"Urm.. Aunt so tell me.. How was your outing with Jayden? You said you had an important place to go with him.. did you guys go to visit his parents?"
I asked, wanting to break the silence that had ensued. I did that so she wouldn't ask another question about what I did last night.
"Oh.. Yeah . We actually didn't visit his parents. We went to the pub, hung around with Friends and slept at a hotel. I'm so sorry it seemed like I lied to you, Isabel. He told me we'd be visiting his parents as well but we had a change of mind since it was getting darker….and there were no cabs moving on the street..".
My Aunt revealed and my eyes widened slightly.. I knew it.. she left us so she could have fun with Jayden. I knew she only used the word 'important' to get away so we wouldn't suspect.
"So, Isabel," She called and I sighed, knowing she was about to bring up another discussion.
"How are you coping with Derek as your stepbrother?" She asked and my brows raised slightly. Why with such a question? What is she trying to know? I wonder what she was trying to arrive at.
"Why do you ask, Aunt? Isn't he just like every other normal guy?" I returned her answer with a question.
"He is. But… wait.. let me ask you this question first, Does he have a girlfriend?" my aunt asked, her voice barely above a whisper. I wonder if Derek was close enough that she decided to lower her voice to ask me such .
"Yes.. He has a girlfriend.." I replied non-hesitantly and I clasped my hands around my mouth. I didn't mean to give her that as an answer..I didn't even know what made me say that… probably so she wouldn't suspect that he might be hitting on me.
"Cool. Who's this lucky girl?" My aunt asked, her voice filled with excitement. It doesn't seem like she'd leave anytime soon. Now a discussion about Derek would make her stay longer which isn't what I want..
"She's a girl at school.. May I ask why you're asking all of this.." I asked curiously and she chortled lightly. My brows creased slightly as I wondered what could be funny.
"I asked because that dude is hot and charming. If he was my age, I wouldn't hesitate to date him. His girl must be so lucky.. How about you, Isabel? Do you have a boyfriend now?".
She inquired and I sighed softly before shutting my eyes…
"Yes I do.. I - I do.." I replied before pressing my lips together, sinking my head in the bathtub. My hair got damp and stuck to my face and I wouldn't deny that it's been an hour since I've been in the bathroom.
"That's cool.. when you come out, don't forget to show me his pictures..I don't know why you'd hide such from me? You know how curious I am when it comes to stuff like that…"
Her words struck my heart.. pics… I don't have pictures of any boyfriend on my phone.. Why is my aunt this nosy?
"Isabel.. you've been in the bathroom for a long time now..Are you giving birth there? Don't you wanna come out or wait.. don't tell me you're still too shy to dress in front of me.."
Gosh! My aunt can be annoying.. Can she just leave at once!
"No.. it's.. it's not because of that.. I'm kind of …shaving?"
"Kinda or you're actually having a shave?" She asked and got on both feet.
I knew she might be on her way now.. I sighed and managed to ask..
"Aunt Please can you make breakfast? I think I'm really hungry . I don't need snacks at the moment."
"No problem… I will.. I'm taking my leave already. Hey! Can Derek Cook as well?"
"Yeah… He's a great cook, trust me,"
"Then I guess we'll make breakfast together.. Hurry up Isabel so you'll join us.."
"Okay.." I mumbled and she left before closing the door.
I exhaled deeply this time around, feeling so relieved that she left. She can be so inquisitive… Why would she ask me if Derek has a girlfriend? Why is all of her discussion about Derek?
I'm glad she's gone.. I have to leave here and get dressed as fast as I can. I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around me before dashing out of the bathroom. I almost slipped but luckily, I was able to regain my balance.
I slipped into a nice denim pants and top, and I wrapped a scarf around my neck after concealing the mark. Taking a deep sigh, I left and headed to the kitchen, wanting to join them in making breakfast.
My aunt would be staying with us for a week since my mom and Mr Walter won't be around due to their honeymoon.
As I approached the kitchen, I heard light laughters and chuckles . My aunt and Derek were actually getting along and it makes me happy..
After what seemed like and prolonged silence, my aunt finally asked Derek.
"So after I left yesterday,.. What did you do? I mean, you know I wasn't able to finish watching that movie with you guys… Did you watch something else and just tell me anything….."
My aunt asked and my eyes widened slightly. Derek is aware that we spent the night having sex.. I know he can't tell that to my aunt but I'm scared because he might come up with a different story.. A story different from mine
I told my aunt that I left for my room after a while… What if Derek says something different?
Won't she get suspicious…
Derek smiled and I watched his lips move as he was about to mouth a word.
What will he say??!
