Chapter 4 Walking To My Doom

SERENA'S POV

My cheeks flushed slightly and I pushed him away."Get out of my room before someone sees us."

He teased, inching closer again, "You can't deny it, Serena. Take a good look at this dressing table. Remember how I fucked you once, on the dressing table back at your home, one stormy night?"

I shut my eyes and opened them quickly, trying not to reminisce that night.

"I don't know why you're trying to bring up past memories but I am celibate now and I intend to keep it that way, " I said in a small voice.

He looked surprised and arched his perfectly shaped brow."Really? Celibate? Since when?"

"Since we broke up a year ago, " I responded.

"You're dead serious?" He asked with a glimmer in his eyes."Are you trying to tell me that I am the very last man that was inside you? Which means, I am also going to be the first one again after a year? This is sick."

Striving to sound casual I said, "Don't get your hopes up, Cameron. It's been a year and of course I do not want you anymore."

"You don't want me anymore?" I could feel his fingers moving inside my thighs, close enough to my pussy. Dang it! My inner thighs were already so slippery at this point.

"So why are you soaking wet when I haven't even touched you properly yet?

Before I could respond, Mom's voice echoed from outside the door."Serena, dear, are you settled in?"

Panic flashed in my eyes as we saw the door knob turn. I shot Cameron a worried look."Did you lock the door?"

His reply was quick."Uh, no, I didn't."

My eyes darted to the door, wondering what would happen if it swung open at that very moment.

"Was just fucking with ya, it's locked." Cameron said with a devilish smirk.

"I'd be right there Mom!" I called loudly and then whispered to him."She cannot see you here"

"What do you mean? This is my house."

I pushed him toward the bathroom."Hide in there. I'll figure something out."

"Wait, you expect me to stay in your bathroom and hide like a criminal?"

"Don't be impossible and keep that deep voice of yours down before she hears you from outside, " I said in my smallest voice throwing him a warning look.

Just as I directed him to the bathroom and closed the door, I adjusted the towel on my chest and made way to my room door, opening it.

I quickly threw on a casual smile, hoping to appear unfazed."Hey, Mom. Sorry, I was just finishing up in the bath."

Mom glanced around, her sharp eyes narrowing as she entered."I can smell a man's cologne. Were any of the twins in here?"

I hesitated, my mind racing."Oh, yeah. Cameron came by to say hi and welcome me. Left a few minutes ago."

Her suspicion lingered and then after a second it was gone. She embraced me warmly."I'm just so happy to see you after such a long time dear, "

I hugged her back tightly."I'm sorry, Mom. I know I haven't been able to come see you since you stepped foot in New York. Work has been crazy."

Mom reassured me, "It's okay, sweetheart. I understand." At that moment, her phone rang.

" I was going to tell you something important, but let's talk after I take this call. It has to do with the wedding"

I nodded vigorously and watched her exit the room.

I exhaled a breath I didn't realize I was holding, grateful for the temporary reprieve. As I was going to shut the door, Kaden suddenly appeared, lingering at the doorway with both hands firmly dug into his pockets.

He had an expression on his face I couldn't quite read when he asked, "Mind if I stand here?"

"You're already standing here, Kaden."

"So, how does it feel to know your mom is marrying my dad?"

I sighed, feeling a pang of guilt."Honestly, I haven't talked to her much about it. I feel like a bad daughter for not knowing she had someone so serious in her life."

Kaden shrugged."It happens. Life gets busy. Besides, it's not like we're the most traditional family, right?"

"Yeah, but still." I rubbed on the back of my neck awkwardly while I shifted my weight from one foot to the other. It was so odd to be standing there chatting with him while I was still horny and soaking wet. Christ, he was incredibly sexy. I could see the tattoo on the side of his neck clearly now. It was a butterfly shaped tattoo and it was so hot, that I wanted to run my fingers over them and…

"You know, isn't it remarkable that my attorney is going to be my baby sis?" He gave a lopsided grin, cutting me off from my thoughts.

Was that a dimple digging his cheek? Jeesh. What kind of temptation was this?

I cleared my throat, gaining composure.

Baby sis?

"I am going to be your step-sister, " I corrected."And I am definitely not a baby."

No way in hell I wanted to be related by blood to this very gorgeous man standing before me.

"Also, " I added firmly."We aren't even sure yet if the wedding would hold or not."

His raised brow hinted at a challenge."Are you planning to break up the marriage already?"

I shook my head."No, I just want to be sure my mom is genuinely happy. I owe her that much."

There was a short pause and then he spoke again."You know, I didn't realize you were so pretty. If I knew, I wouldn't have bailed on that meeting earlier."
