His New Roommate : Stepbrother Standalone Romance

by Vanessa Kinney

  “That’s not what I meant.” She chuckled.

  “You have to forgive me at some point, Lily.” I gave her a shy smirk.

  She rolled her eyes and turned around, but not without me getting a glimpse of her smile. I knew I could win her back. I was so close. I’ll just tell her the truth.

  “Do you want the truth?” I placed my hands on her hips. She didn't push away.

  “I don’t regret getting you that job. I would do it a hundred more times to know that you would get your perfect job. Even if you left each time. It would hurt, but I would want you to be happy.”

  I paused.

  “I quit my job after I found out what Mike did.” She crossed her arms. She looked like she was protecting herself from her memories.

  “I’m going to culinary school.”

  I twisted her hips and turned her around.

  “Do you want to hear the truth about you?”

  She nodded as she looked over to the side. A tear ran down her cheek.

  “I think you have the best ass, tits, and body in the world and your personality is even better.” She started to laugh and cry at the same time.

  “I never thought I would feel so empty and heartbroken when you left. But I did.” I looked at her with a full smile. “And the biggest secret of them all is that I have been in love with you since I saw you at the coffee shop.”

  Her wide eyes darted to me. She wasn’t expecting me to say that. I let out a little puff of laughter.

  “That’s a lie.” I shook my head.

  Lily brought back her puppy eyes. I stood up, headed toward my drawer, and pulled out a photo. I handed her the photo.

  “Wait.” She looked up at me and the photo. “This is the holiday picture of when I was 17.” She examined the photo then my face.

  “I have been in love with you since I first saw this picture.” I pointed at Lily in the photo.

  Her eyes were filled with tears. Happy tears.

  “S-So you weren’t using me.”

  I shook my head.

  “I planned for you to come here. But I didn’t plan to fall so hard for you. I never planned to be this MADLY in love with you, Lillian. I would NEVER use you. And I never meant to hurt you.” I wiped a tear from her face. “I will spend my whole life trying to make you forgive me and to make you happy if I have to. I love you, Lily.”

  “I don’t know how to respond to that. I feel like- I don’t deserve you.” Lily sniffled.

  “You deserve me and so much more Lily.” I placed my hands on her cheeks and kissed her forehead.

  “But- But I called you a sicko. And…and my biggest mistake. How can you just forgive me? I hurt you.

  “Because I would rather take your angry filled words for a split second than not have you around.”

  “I thought you would be angry with me and reject me if I came back.” She sniffled.

  I shook my head. “There was no way that was ever going to happen.”

  Lily grabbed me by the collar and pulled me closer to her lips.

  God. I missed her taste. She pulled away and looked at me with her olive-green eyes.

  “I have something to show you.”

  I pulled her into the living room in front of a cardboard box resting on the couch.

  “Open it.”

  “What is it?” She grasped the box lightly.

  “It was something I was going to drop off later today at Samuel's house. It was kinda supposed to be my big romantic gesture, but you ruined it.”

  She rubbed at her tears and giggled. She opened the box and pulled out a neon sign.

  It was a custom sign I had made about two weeks ago after she told me the story of the No-named fish. It was a blue and white fish with green lights around his eyes. I made sure that when you plugged it in it would give the illusion that it was swimming.

  “I figured that you can’t kill this fish,” I smirked.

  She laughed along with me. “I love you.” She looked up at me and hugged the sign “I LOVE you, too.”

  I kissed her soft lips.

  “So, now will you move back in?”

  She nodded. “But can we take things slow?”

  “Whatever you want, Princess Lily.”

  She rolled her eyes and walked toward her room, hugging the neon sign.

  “Mindy is going to be staying here too.”

  “That’s perfectly fine.” I gave her a smile as she walked back into her room.

  “Did you clean my room, again?”

  I let out a little laugh as I nodded. It felt like she never left.

  “I’ll help you put the sign-up.”

  This is how it’s supposed to be. Lily and me. Back in the same apartment.

  Together.

  Forever.

  Welcome Back Quickie

  “So you mean to tell me you punched Mike in front of his dad.”

  “Yep.” Nate nodded. “Then I just flat out quit.”

  Mindy laughed uncontrollably.

  “Well, I’m glad we both showed him a piece of our minds.” Nate chuckled.

  It’s only been a week since I moved back, and Mindy and Nate were already acting like best friends. Well, I probably shouldn't be surprised since Mindy always seemed to have more guy friends than girl friends.

  “But for real.” Nate looked my way using his serious voice. “Are you okay?”

  “Oh, my god-Yes! Stop asking me that!”

  From the week of Mindy asking me that question and Nate asking me that question, I was getting sick of it. I wanted to forget about the whole situation. What’s done is done.

  “Geez. You see what I mean. It’s like she doesn’t even care about her friends and her boyfriend brother.” Mindy smirked.

  “Step.” Nate corrected as he laughed.

  Mindy’s phone buzzed.

  “Oh shit. Sammie is here.”

  “Who? Samuel?” Nate arched his eyebrows.

  “Yeah.” Mindy grinned.

  “Wait. He ALLOWS you to call him something other than Samuel?” Nate was genuinely shocked.

  “No.” Mindy giggled. “But I think he likes me enough to tolerate it. Or he just ignores it.”

  “Okay. Mindy,” I gave her a tight hug. “Have a safe trip and I hope I see you soon.”

  “I like her.” Nate smiled as she left the apartment.

  “Well, I hope so. You guys could pass for childhood friends.”

  He snickered.

  “That’s very true. She basically acts like a guy and Samuel seems to like her too.”

  Nate got out of his chair walked slowly towards me with a “let’s fuck” expression in his eyes I have been trying so hard to avoid. My pussy started to pulse for him.

  “But you want to know who I love.” He gave me a sexy smirk.

  Nate grabbed my waist and slowly ran his hands to my ass. He bites his lip as he gripped my ass.

  “You know how much I love those shorts.” He whispered.

  I let out a moan. “Wait, what about taking things slowly.”

  “Oh. I can slow down if you want me to.”

  Nate slowly started to move his hands from my ass to my thighs. His hands were approaching my inner thighs.

  “I can go even slower.”

  He started to head toward my pussy. His fingers glided slowly over my clit.

  “And I can also stop if you want me too.” He gave me a wicked wink as he pulled his hands away from my clit. He was such a tease.

  “Well, you know where to find me if you want to move slow.”

  I followed him to watch his body in his tight fitted joggers. He closed the door, leaving it slightly open. He knew exactly how to get what he wanted. But I guess that was one of the things I loved about him. I opened the door and he was already taking his shirt off, laying on the bed, waiting for me.

  “I knew you couldn’t resist these sweats, they’re basically what started all of this trouble.”

  He got
up from the bed and took me in his arms. Before I even knew it, Nate was throwing me on the bed and pinning me down. A sexual chill covered my body. His sculpted pecs and abs were mere inches above my body. He looked so godly.

  His lips touched mine and I wrapped my legs around him as I felt his cock grow harder and longer. He started to grunt when I ground my hips against him.

  “God dammit. I think you want this more than me.”

  I moaned with him as it got more passionate. I was already getting so wet from just dry humping him. He could easily slip his cock in me and I would be ready.

  “I missed this so much.” I moaned.

  Nate started to take off my shirt, but he left my bra on. He slipped off my shorts and panties at the same time and dropped his sweats. I have never seen him work so fast before.

  “I can’t wait any longer.”

  “It’s like you haven’t had sex in weeks.” I bit my lip and teased him.

  He smirked at me while shaking his head. He pulled me closer to him. He then started to rub the head of his cock on my wet pussy. He started around my lips and then focused on the clit.

  “Oh my god.” I moaned.

  I almost forgot how amazing this felt. My clit started to get more sensitive with each stroke. I wanted him to fuck me.

  “Tell me what you want Lily.” I roared.

  “I want your cock.”

  “Is that all?” He was still staring at my pussy, hypnotized by it.

  Nate started to lick his lips. I knew he wanted a taste, but I couldn’t wait for his cock any longer.

  “No. I want you to fuck me hard.” I moaned.

  He hummed. He knew I wanted more from him.

  “I wanted you to be your fuck toy. I want you to use me as you please.” I begged knowing I was going to get my way.

  He brought his cock to my opening but still didn’t push in. Nate wrapped his hand around my hips and moved my body toward his cock. He didn’t thrust at all me was just pulling me into his stiff rod. I felt his head move inside of me and then his shaft. I let out a satisfied moan. I missed this feeling of blissful fullness. He began moving me up and down his cock as if I was his own personal toy.

  “Please. Can you go fast!”

  “Let take things slow.” He quoted me while smirking my way.

  I didn’t beg another time. This time I just enjoyed Nate’s large cock massaging my tight pussy.

  “God, you are so fucking tight.” He grunted.

  Nate pulled me into him roughly, forcing every inch of himself inside of me.

  “Oh my god.” I moaned as he fucked my gasp out of me.

  He thrust harder as if he was getting all his sexual frustration out on me. I could feel his bulging veins enter and leave my wet pussy. God. I would never get used to his dick.

  “I wanna cum all over your cock.” I moaned.

  Nate grabbed the bottom of my bra and pulled it down, freeing my breasts. His thrusts became more forceful and deep. I knew he wanted to cum with me. I watched his perfect muscles contract with each pump. His cock disappearing inside of me and giving me pleasure. I looked up at Nate and he was watching my face as I lost control.

  “Fuck! Slow down. Slow down” I begged.

  He bit his lip and I knew he was going to fuck me as fast as he could.

  OH, MY GOD!

  I am going to cum.

  “Fuck, I’m cumming.” He released my bra and placed his hands on my hips again.

  He pushed deep inside, making sure I got every drop of his white gold.

  Nate’s cock pulsed a few more times as he emptied everything inside of me.

  “Oh, my god.” I moaned. “You cum a lot.” I giggled.

  He chuckled and laid next to me.

  “Sorry, for the quickie but I couldn’t help it.”

  “Think of it as a Welcome Back Quickie.” I chuckled.

  His smile showed off his dimples, “I’ll make it up to you for many. Many years.” He embraced me.

  “Many years?” I questioned.

  “So many years.” his voice almost became silent when he said. “I love you.”

  “I love you, too.” I kissed his forehead.

  One Year Later

  “I can’t do this! I CAN’T do this!” Lily started to freak out as we pulled into the driveway.

  I put the car in park and turned to her. She was breathing so heavily.

  “Lilypad. It’s going to be okay. Just take a deep breath.”

  I inhaled and exhaled loudly hoping she would follow my move. She started to follow my breaths but I could still see the fear in her eyes.

  “What’s the worst that can happen?” She muttered and laughed nervously.

  “Exactly. And remember. I will be here with you. I will protect you.”

  “But my MOTHER.” She started to breathe heavily again.

  “Don’t worry.” I looked at her.

  She nervously showed her teeth. I opened the door and headed toward Lily’s door. She looked at me through the window and shook her head.

  “Come on Lily. Stop acting like a spoiled Princess.”

  “Do you even remember Christmas? With the mistletoe?”

  “Yes.” I nodded. “We kissed under the mistletoe and your mom freaked out and turned into Holly the Bad Molly.” I rolled my eyes.

  Luckily, I was a good liar and was able to bullshit my way through the whole situation. But, of course, Holly had to bring out the whole moving out discussion again. She was really a pain in my ass. Holly still didn’t know about Lily and me, even though I told my dad before we came home for Christmas last year.

  Apparently, my dad had already known. He said we made it pretty obvious when he came back to get his phone and Lily had dish soap bubbles all over her ass and the whole Mexican restaurant dancing fiasco. I guess I should have given him a little more credit. He was an observant old man.

  “OMG. Mindy. I’m going to kill her.”

  I chuckled. “She might be a little crazy but she’s sometimes the only one that makes sense.”

  Lily pulled down her tight shorts and a tank top to make her outfit more “appropriate” for her mother.

  “You look... damn fine... when you wear tight clothes.” I gave her a little wink as I eyed her up and down.

  “So, what do you think is going to happen?” Lily nervously started to play with her hair.

  “She’s going to tell you to move out.” I laughed.

  Lily pouted at me.

  “What? You know it’s true.” We started to walk toward the house. “But remember, don’t let her get under your skin-”

  “I know.” She pouted again and staring down her childhood home with an angry glare.

  We walked in front of the door and knocked. But no one answered. They must be in the back.

  “Hello?” I opened the front door.

  “Mom?” Lily yelled trying to locate Holly.

  I heard muffled sounds coming from the back yard.

  “I think they started without us.”

  I walked in front of Lily who was taking her sweet time. The sliding doors were already open.

  “Happy Belated Fourth of July!” My dad yelled as he flipped a patty.

  “I thought you were going to let me cook this year!” I gave my dad a big bear hug.

  “You think because you went to culinary school for one year that you’re already a chef.” Dad teased me.

  “Well, I have one more year left, so I’m half a chef?”

  Holly gave Lily a hug but not without raising her eyebrows and staring at her outfit.

  “So, how has work been going?” Holly asked.

  “Really good.” Lily gave a short answer.

  “Lily got a promotion.” I gloated for her. “She is now the Junior Design Lead for Advertising and Marketing.”

  Holly looked over at me and then back at Lily. “That is amazing, sweetie. And only in a year.”

  “Yeah, but she’s been busting
her ass. Working overtime at home and at the office. There are days where I don’t even see her.” I gloated again. I couldn't help but to be extremely proud of my little Lilypad.

  “Mr. Prime has also helped me a lot and giving me advice. I can probably make Senior Designer in about three years.” She shyly said.

  “Honey! That is amazing!” Holly gave Lily another hug.

  “Nate. Place these on the table. I’m almost done.” My dad handed me a plate of burgers.

  I placed the burgers on the table and got comfortable in my seat.

  “Belated Fourth of July Burgers are ready!!!” My dad yelled.

  “Why are you yelling?” I chuckled.

  “I thought it would be more exciting.”

  I shook my head. The table was filled with hot dogs, corn on the cob, burgers, potato salad and more. We grabbed the food we wanted and began to eat.

  “What. Is. That?” Holly pointed at Lily’s finger as she tried to grab the Ketchup.

  Lily turned pale.

  “It’s an engagement ring,” I spoke with food in my mouth.

  “You're going to get MARRIED!” Holly shrieked. “I didn't even know you were dating anyone.”

  “I was going to tell you today,” Lily said covering her ring.

  “Who is the guy? When am I going to meet him? When did you get engaged???” Holly went into interrogation mode.

  “I met the guy when I first got to Chicago. In a coffee shop.” Lily started to play with her potato salad. “We got engaged about two months ago.”

  Lily answered all the questions except for one.

  “When am I going to meet him?” Holly asked again in a colder voice.

  My dad was just eating his burger and avoiding his wife’s eyes. I held Lily’s hand under the table. I wanted to give her a bit of confidence.

  “Well, you already met him.”

  Holly looked confused. She was trying to remember which guys she met from Chicago but she knew it was only Samuel, and me.

  “You met him a few years ago. Last year. Last Christmas.” I wrapped my arm around Lily and stared her mom down. “And right now.” I gave Lily a little kiss on her forehead for the final punch of the sentence.
