drink. EVER. And, he didn’t keep anything in his house.
“You can’t be you when you drink Kat. And the world needs you . So, quit asking. It ain’t gonna happen.” His set jaw and steely eyes giving me no room for negotiation.
Fuck. Now what?
Little things were beginning to happen and it took me a couple days for my head to clear and start noticing. Like, the clothes he brought me. I usually would just sleep in a big t-shirt and some sweats, but when I woke up that second day, he had changed me into a soft little nightgown. Now, I’m not talking Victoria’s Secret sexy soft nightgown, I mean soft, light yellow, with little puffy sleeves a princess neckline and tiny pink flowers all over. It was just long enough to cover my rear end, which I also noticed, was wearing something that looked like a ruffled pair of some kind of panties that a toddler would wear.
Then, the next morning, I noticed there were two pacifiers sitting out on the dresser across from my bed and a couple stuffed bears, big enough for an adult. Jesse actually put one next to me that night when I drifted off to sleep. I was still too tired and weak to really care, so I went along with it, but it was definitely feeling strange. Although, truth be told, I loved when he pushed that over sized plush bear down under the covers next to me and gave me a kiss on my head.
There was a flutter in my stomach and a small throbbing between my legs as he rubbed my back and said, “Sweet dreams”. I wasn’t sure what was going on and when I felt better I surely was going to find out what this little girl shit was all about. I drifted back to sleep and woke up a few hours later to the sight of my pseudo step-brother sitting spread legged, hands across his rock hard abs watching me sleep.
Flickering my eyes open, I had to be sure I wasn’t still dreaming. This Adonis of a man that had dominated my desire for so many years still made my skin tingle.
“What’s up?” I stretched, the sun was streaming in the far window cutting across Jesse’s angled face as his intense eyes devoured me from the chair.
“Looks like you. Finally.” He shifted slightly and I could see the hard, flat muscles in his stomach flex under the ever present perfect white t-shirt. The flutter in my belly quickly moved lower.
“Ummm, yep, I guess.” I wasn’t quite ready for the world yet, so I gave another big stretch and turned onto my side, my hands snaking around the huge teddy bear and pulling it close. I buried my face in the soft fur feeling a wondrous sense of contentment for the first time in years.
I could hear Jesse breathing and smell his masculine scent as his quiet dominance radiated even across the room to the bed.
“Jess?” I kept my eyes closed and buried in the bear.
“Yep…” I could feel his eyes on me and I began to squirm a bit under the covers.
“You know girls my age, like, don’t wear this kind of stuff. I know you still think of me as your ‘little sis’, but you do know I’m grown up, right?” The sarcasm was thick, but I didn’t exactly know how to ask differently.
“Are you? You’re all grown up, huh? Well, I don’t see it that way little girl. From what I see, you are still in need of a strong hand to guide you. You certainly haven’t done all that great on your own the last few years.”
I jerked my head around and narrowed my eyes.
“What the fuck Jess? Thanks for helping me out, but really? You think I need to hear that shit?”
“Watch your mouth.” His eyes turned to slits and his voice lowered two octaves but his formidable body remained perfectly still in the chair.
“What? You can’t tell me what to do Jesse. I’m an adult.” I whipped the cover off and bounced to the edge of the bed. Today I was dressed in soft white flannel pajamas with little bears on them complete with lace trimmed collar and bottoms that snapped onto the pajama shirt around the waist and had feet in them. Really??
“I mean, what the
