“No talking, only fucking,” I say softly, but there’s no mistaking the underlying threat.
“It isn’t fair—”
“Obey on your own accord, or I’ll drag your ass there. Either option concludes with my cock buried in your cunt.”
She slowly stands and walks through the door. I’ll alleviate my frustrations between her thighs.
Lisa was supposed to meet me at the ice cream parlor a half hour ago, but I don’t mind waiting. It gives me time to rehash the events of the past week. Dom and I haven’t spent the lunch hour together much since he’s busy with negotiations to expand Stone Inc. However, we’ve spent every night together. He’s in denial, but the dynamics of our “relationship” have changed, and I couldn’t be more ecstatic. His sour attitude does dampen my happiness a little. I wish he would stop fighting this and give us a chance.
“Hi, Pepper!” Lisa approaches me, waving excitedly.
“Hey, you look really pretty.” Her tie-dye romper and oversized sunglasses are stylish. The hip-length braids she’s sporting complement her chic attire. She’s a carefree teenager. Something I never had the chance to be.
Lisa twirls around, then strikes a pose. “Thank you.”
I smile, adoring her sassy attitude.
She hops onto the stool. “I love this place. They have the best rocky road ice cream, and it’s made in the shop,” she gushes.
“Is that what you want? It’s on me.”
“Oh yeah, the mega size, please.”
“Coming right up.”
I order at the counter and return to the table with our cold treats.
“Much appreciated, sis.”
“You know?” I say, astonished.
“That your dad is banging my mom and we’re sisters? Yep,” she says, stuffing a spoonful of the chocolate concoction into her mouth.
“When did you find out?”
“A year ago. My mother’s sneaky behavior went unnoticed by my father, but not me. He’s a bit of a space cadet.”
“And you kept it to yourself.”
“My mom swore me to secrecy, but she can go fall off a cliff for all I care. I keep quiet for my dad’s sake. How long have you known?”
“Few weeks.”
“Figured you knew since you invited me to hang out of all of a sudden. Does Patrick know?”
“He’s the one who told me.”
“Neither of you blabbed,” Lisa states.
“For the same reason as you, to protect others.”
I can’t say “Oh, and I’m blackmailing our father.” Had he called my bluff; he would’ve won. Though I have the key to Pandora’s box, I wouldn’t have opened it. I just needed a place to live and to finish college. If that meant resorting to underhanded methods, so be it. The secret will be revealed one day, but not by me.
“There’s already a scandal circulating through the church anyway.” Lisa winks. “Don’t need another one.”
“What scandal?”
“You, silly.”
