Chapter 163: Always Been You
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘⭒❊✿❊⭒∘∙⊱⋅•
My mind was racing, a chaotic blend of disbelief and heat, making the hallway spin around us. Adrien’s lips were so close to mine that I could still taste him and feel the lingering pressure of his mouth against mine, filled with a desperate passion.
This was the boy who had once been my tormentor, the one who turned high school into a battlefield for me, he was kissing me like I was something precious, something he’d been craving for months. And to complicate matters even more, he was my stepbrother.
My stepbrother.
That thought echoed in my mind like a thunderclap, drowning out everything else.
Does this mean... does he actually like me? More than just like me? Does this mean that Adrien liked boys too?
The realization hit me like a wave, stealing my breath and sending my heart racing in a dizzying rhythm, leaving me weak. My knees felt shaky, as if the floor had tilted and the only thing keeping me steady was the warmth of his body against mine and his hands gently cradling my face.
I felt like I might collapse right there, lost in shock and confusion, overwhelmed by a fluttering thrill I couldn’t deny. Because beneath the tangled family ties and the complicated feelings, there were butterflies stirring in my stomach, spreading warmth through me.
This was wrong...so wrong-but it felt so good, in a way that made my chest ache with something dangerously close to hope.
Something was truly wrong with me, I needed to get my head checked again.
