even though our old house did n't really feel like home either , i wish i were there now , stretched out on the ratty old couch , with my mom in her chair , watching something on our small tv . |
i do n't know if i 'll ever be able to feel like i belong here . |
i 'll always feel like a guest in pierce 's house . |
i walk down closer to the water until i can feel the pebbles getting smaller underneath my feet . |
i do n't want my shoes to get wet . |
i jump as a bird breaks out of a tree above me . |
i can just see it as it flies off , its body a moving ink blot against the dark sky . |
i wish i could follow it . |
i turn and walk back toward the steps , feeling as lonely as i 've ever felt . |
i shake my head at myself as i climb the wooden stairs . |
my mom is happy , and i 'm fortunate to live in a place like this . |
stop feeling sorry for yourself , brynn . |
as i walk across the lower lawn , i look up and see my mom and pierce 's bedroom light go off . |
i guess they 're turning in early tonight . |
i walk up toward the pool and freeze as i hear a moan . |
the lights downstairs are all off except one in the hall , and the pool 's lights underneath the water . |
my eyes dart around and fall on two writhing bodies on a poolside lounge chair . |
nate and dana . |
i stare as nate whips off his own shirt and then dana 's . |
i know i should move but i do n't . |
the blue pool lights shimmer against his back muscles as he expertly undoes dana 's bra and pulls off her pants and underwear . |
leave , you pervert ! |
my brain commands me , but my body stays firmly glued in place , even as it throbs with desire . |
one of nate 's hands massages dana 's ample breasts , and the other disappears beneath her . |
dana cries out immediately and i almost gasp myself , as though his hands are moving against me . |
i can practically feel his touch on me , his hot breath against my ear as his expert fingers move inside me ... nate grunts and pushes against her . |
she struggles to contain herself as he thrusts slowly in and out of her . |
oh my god-what am i doing ! ? |
i step back with a jolt as though i 'm breaking out of a trance and almost trip over the hydrangea bush next to me in my hurry to get away . |
i run as quickly and quietly as i can around the side of the house and to the front . |
i reach the front door and pray that nate is going to lock up later . |
i feel the doorknob turn and push the door open in relief . |
i hurry up the curving staircase and down the hall into my room , kicking off my sandals before hurling myself onto my bed and burying my head in the pillows . |
i can feel my cheeks burning with mortification over what i just witnessed and the uncontrollable desire i felt . |
i 've had crushes before , but none like my obsession with nate . |
and even after finally meeting him , only to have him tease me and push my buttons , i still feel so physically drawn to him . |
i pull my face out of the pillow and crawl to the nightstand , pulling my dog-eared copy of lady chatterley 's lover out of the top drawer . |
just as i 'm opening it to the folded-over page , there 's a quiet knock at my door . |
i toss my book on the bed and walk to it , hoping and praying it 's not nate . |
i almost jump as i pull open the door and nate 's face appears , shrouded in the darkness of the hallway . |
he leans forward , leaning his forearm on the doorjamb as i step back nervously . |
his wavy hair looks particularly unruly , and his lips are curved in a slight smile . |
`` technically speaking , does a peeping tom have to be outside , looking inside ? |
or does the term still apply if both , or all three , parties are outdoors ? '' |
he asks , calmly , tilting his chin up slightly as he considers me . |
`` i ... i do n't ... '' i stammer , feeling heat crawl up the back of my neck . |
`` you . |
were . |
watching us , '' he accuses me , narrowing his eyes . |
`` i 'm sorry . |
i did n't mean to . |
i just ... i was down at the river ... how did you ... ? '' |
`` i heard a twig snap and saw you running away like a drunken ostrich . '' |
`` did dana- ? '' |
`` no , and i did n't tell her . '' |
`` thank god . '' |
`` so ? |
what did you think ? '' |
he smirks . |
`` oh , i 'm so sorry , again . |
i 'm so embarrassed , '' i rush on . |
it strikes me that this is the longest conversation i 've ever had with my new stepbrother . |
and it 's about how i 'm a pervert . |
fantastic . |
`` why were you watching us ? '' |
he asks , stepping forward into my room . |
i take another step away from him . |
`` um , i ... i do n't know . |
it just sort of happened . |
i did n't mean to . '' |
`` liar , '' he comments lightly . |
`` asshole . '' |
it slips out before i can stop myself . |
he tilts his head slightly . |
`` prude , '' he levels at me . |
i look down . |
maybe i am a prude , but i do n't want to be . |
`` what 's that ? '' |
he asks . |
when i look back up at him , i see him gazing past me , to my book on the bed . |
`` nothing , just a book , '' i say , but he 's breezing past me toward it . |
i hurry after him but he reaches the bed before me and picks up the book . |
`` see ? '' |
i say defiantly . |
`` i know what lady chatterley 's lover is about , '' he says , looking at me with a smug grin . |
shit . |
`` maybe not such a prude after all , '' he adds , running his eyes up and down my body . |
i swallow hard . |
`` you know what i think ? '' |
he asks , stepping toward me . |
i step away again , feeling one of the posts of my bed against my back . |
`` i think you want me . |
i think you can barely contain yourself . '' |
`` that 's mighty arrogant of you , '' i comment . |
i begin to tug the ends of my hair nervously . |
`` why are you doing that ? '' |
he asks , frowning . |
`` it 's just a nervous habit , '' i say with a shrug , and drop my hand . |
`` so i make you nervous ? '' |
`` no , '' i reply quickly . |
