I sit next to Rowan frozen. My mind unable to comprehend what Ethan just told me. First of all James and Kate Sharp weren’t my parents. Second, he claimed to be my brother.
“What?” I scream as the impact of his words finally sink in. “You slept with me knowing you’re my brother? That’s fucking disgusting”.
“You slept with him? Why would you sleep with him?” Rowan boom, a dangerous aura filling the room. Suffocating the atmosphere around us.
I give him a withering look. “That’s none of your business”.
My thoughts were occupied with Ethan’s revelation. If what he said was the truth, then it meant I had sex with my brother, and he had sex with me knowing the truth.
I felt bile rising up at that thought. Feeling utterly disgusted. What kind of a sick bastard does that? Why would you sleep with someone knowing very well that you were blood related?
The more I got to know about Ethan, the more I wondered if he had been acting all along.
“You aren’t my sister” Ethan speaks up.
“But you just said that Nora and Theo are your parents” I point out.
“I told you I was adapted. That part was true. They did adapt me after my father was killed. We aren’t blood related, so we didn’t commit incest.” He smirks then winks “I can however say, I loved it every time you screamed my name”
I am mortified. My cheeks turn pink, and I look down.
Even if we weren't blood related, it didn't make what he did right. If he's telling the truth then he shouldn't have slept with me at all.
I feel Rowan tense beside me, but I ignore him. It didn’t make sense why his hands were fisted and his jaw clenched.
Brian clears his throat. The sound cuts through the tense and awkward atmosphere.
