***AN: This is a romance between a brother and sister and the sexy times come a little later in the story. It is also a little clichΓ©, but I kind of like that. If you are cool with that, I hope you enjoy my story. The layout and editing is probably shit (sorry). All characters are over 18. ***
***Chapter One (Nova)***
Nova Miller jolted awake when she heard her phone ring. Her groggy eyes landed on the red digits of her alarm clock. Her phone had failed her so many times her brother bought her the huge monstrosity from a second hand store. He told her because it was barely digital it would never fail her. Right now the time on the display just pissed her off. It was 3:30 in the morning. She knew right away the call was from her previously mentioned brother. He was the only one who would dare call her at this time. Well really, due to completely her own fault, there was just no one else to call her in the dead of the night.
Sure enough, when she picked up her phone, her brother's name was flashing on the screen. With a scowl she answered.
"This better be good, Kingston James Miller." She only used his full name when she was completely exasperated or angry with him.
"You're the lucky recipient of my one phone call." Came the slightly slurred deep reply.
"You're in jail." It was a statement not a question and she tried to ignore the way his deep voice always washed over her body.
"No. I was
detained
at the police station, but I am free to go. Help me out, sis."
"Call mom and dad." She suggested, knowing he would never agree. The first time he got himself thrown in the local jail our parents never let him hear the end of it. King usually called his best friend Hayden, who was conveniently over seas on, well, she really didn't know why the hell he was out of the country. She just knew she was mad at him now too.
"Hell no. Once was enough. Help me out No No."
"Don't call me No No."
"I bet the look on your face is so cute." He laughed. "Please, I'll make it up to you."
"Fine." Nova said and hung up.
Who knew why King was in jail. Excuse her, "detained". Nova was surprised he hadn't charmed his way out of it. Usually his bad behavior just got him a slap on the wrist. King Miller was well known around their small town. 24 years old, handsome as fuck, charming, smart, and a troublemaker extraordinaire. Don't forget rich. She wasn't even sure how he had so much money at such a young age. It all had to do with investments and investors or some such. The first time he said the term Capital Gains, she almost instantly died of boredom. She wasn't a numbers person, thus she couldn't explain how King was a millionaire only two years out of college.
Nova was the exact opposite. 19 years old, still lived at home with their parents. Shy and a definite homebody. She wasn't ugly or anything but compared to King, he was on another level. Her tummy, thighs, and butt a tad too curvy, and her breasts were too big in her opinion. Her hair was dark brown paired perfectly with large, equally dark eyes. She took after their mother. While King was completely golden with blond hair and golden hazel eyes. He took after their father.
She tried not to compare, but sometimes she couldn't help it. He was so perfect and she was so boring.
She didn't bother to change out of her crop top and boxers. It was summer and hot as hell and who was going to see her anyways. She slipped on some flip flops grabbed her bag, phone and keys and quietly slipped out the front door as to not wake up her parents. Oh, King was going to owe her so big.
Fifteen minutes later she pulled up in front of a dull brick building. King was leaning against the building waiting for her.
"If you didn't have to stay why couldn't you take your car, Jailbird?" Nova asked as her brother folded his 6'4 frame into her tiny Jeep. She did her best to pretend that his presence wasn't completely overwhelming her. How could he smell so good after a night of boozing and philandering?
"Well, No No, you don't usually get to take your car with you. Besides I am in no state to drive. I'm still a little drunk and beyond tired."
He patiently explained like she was some nitwit. She flipped him the bird for his many infractions. Why does he insist on calling her No No? She's not some toddler.
He just laughed. He knew he easily got under her skin. He reached over and squeezed her thigh and Nova ignored the tingles she felt at his touch and how she was getting wet. Brother! Nova! He's your Brother!
Fucking shit
.
"Thank you for coming to get me Nova, I can always count on my baby sis." He stared into her brown eyes with that crooked smile that drove her insane and another slight squeeze to her thigh. She did her best not to shudder.
"Why exactly did you get arrested?"
"Bar fight." He happily informed her.
"Kingston! Why?"
"It just happened." He shrugged. He wasn't telling her everything, but she let it go. If he wanted to tell her he would.
"Are you going to your place?" She asked pulling the car back onto the road.
"Nope! I'm staying at the house."
"Why?" Nova almost whined. She was trying to get over her crazy crush on her own brother and now he was staying at the house!
"Yeah, didn't mom and dad tell you?"
"I haven't talked to them."
"They are going on a three month vacation like tomorrow. They asked me to come stay while they're gone."
"I'm nineteen." She needlessly informed him. She remembered her parents talking about taking an extended vacation, but she never thought they would do it. She really needed to work on her listening skills. Now she was going to be stuck with King.
"Come on. It will be fun. Like old times."
"Whatever." She mumbled.
That's just what I'm afraid of.
Nova let them in the house once they got back it was after four in the morning and she was exhausted.
"Night, King." She told him as she turned to make her way up the stairs only to be stopped by his giant hand curving around her wrist. Then he pulled her into a tight hug, pulling her body flush against his. It was almost too much for Nova.
"You really are the best." He said softly pressing a chaste kiss to her lips before letting her go. She was thankful for the darkness as her face was on fire and she knew she was blushing horribly. Her heart felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.
She fell on her bed gratefully, but sleep never came. Instead she was trying her best not to think of King. She could still feel the press of his lips on hers. She knew the way she felt about him was wrong. She had been silently dealing with this ridiculous crush since she was 15. It ruled her life. Caused her to breakup with her boyfriend. She hadn't even bothered to start dating again, because no one could compare to King. She lost her closeness with her best friend Mia because Mia had slept with King and Nova's poor heart couldn't take the pain of looking at Mia knowing she had what Nova wanted so badly. Mia, who was a a year older than Nova, had been eighteen for all of two days and King had been home on Spring Break. Nova had no idea why he chose to come home for the final Spring break of his college career. But there he was bothering a highly irritated Nova for a full week. He had gone out to a party and was out until the wee hours of the morning.
Nova had fallen asleep waiting for King to come home and was jerked out of her sleep by some unfamiliar noises coming from down the hall. She grabbed a bottle of body spray her only weapon and scolded herself for watching a suspense thriller all alone. The sounds seemed to be coming from King's room and she made her way there, body spray at the ready. It might not be much but she could do some damage to a perpetrators eyes.
She peaked through the slightly open door and what she saw broke her just a little. She knew the girl was Mia because she had just colored her hair a silvery lavender color and there was no mistaking it. She was straddling King's hips, moans of pleasure releasing from both of their lips, King's large hands gripping her tiny waist as he thrust up into her needy body. Nova slowly backed away and then turned and practically ran back to her own room. Trying to ignore the tears streaming down her face and the cracks in her heart. She knew how she felt was wrong and she was going to get over it.
The next morning Mia barged into Nova's room, huge smile on her face as she told Nova what happened between her and King. Nova not even realizing the words coming out of her mouth, asked Mia not to pursue it further. When Mia asked why, Nova reminded her about their pact that their brothers were off limits to each other, when they made the pact at 10 years old, they both thought it would be weird and gross. Nova knew she was reaching by bringing up that childish pact, but what was she supposed to say?
Leave my man alone, bitch
. Yeah, because that would have went over so well.
Mia refused telling Nova she had wanted King for years and there was no way she was giving him up. Nova knew right then that they would never be the same. Especially when King told Mia it was fun, but he had no intention of being her boyfriend. Mia wasn't going to give up though. Nova knew they still hooked up ever so often but she refused to acknowledge it. Her and Mia barely spoke unless it was cool, brief greetings in passing. It kind of hurt to know Mia would give up their friendship, in order to sporadically hook up with King.
After she saw King with Mia, she tried to distance herself from him, but he still had two days left before returning to college to finish out his final year. He stayed tight to Nova those last two days and he seemed to be oblivious or preferred to ignore how standoffish she was being. His constant closeness, and touching had ruined her emotionally. She never thought she would be happy to see him leave.
Over a year ago she could barely handle two days. Now after that little kiss, she knew her ass wasn't anywhere near over her feelings for her brother. How was she ever going to survive three months alone with him?
