My Three Stepbrothers

I rarely go after what I want. But this time, I can't help myself.

It's not like I was expecting my three stepbrothers to return my feelings, but I was hoping they at least saw me as more than the burdensome little sister they never asked for.

I'm at their house for one week. One week surrounded by muscles, tattoos, and something I've never had. Something I long for.

Especially from the three of them.

But they're off-limits and I'm determined to play it cool around them.

Then I drink a little too much liquid courage and spill my deepest fantasies—to all three of them.

About all three of them.

Kade—the silent giant who has my heart racing.
Wynn—the teddy bear of a man who's surprisingly always down to cuddle.
And Theo—the one who puts me at ease and makes me laugh like no one else can.

I poured my heart out and I can't believe they're asking me if everything I said was true now that I'm sober.

The last thing I want to tell them is the truth.

But when the three of them come to me with confessions of their own, I'm left wondering how I'll ever walk away.

Maybe I shouldn't be walking away. Maybe I should be running.

The question is—in which direction?
