228–I Did It With All OF Them But Him. 

Nora: 

“I thought you were coming in late,” Cain said, still fixing his pants, though his shirt was a mess too. 

As for me, I awkwardly got up from the couch and, without meeting Silas‘ eyes, rushed back to my bedroom. Once inside, I stood next to the door to eavesdrop on their conversation. I feared he would bring me up. 

“I tried fixing the car, but the rain got bad. Dad called and said he would stay with his friend, so I came here,” Silas‘ voice was quieter than usual. 

“She has a separate room here,” Cain added. 

“Aha!” Silas‘ minimal response to his brother made me anxious. 

My heart was pounding in my throat now. I grabbed a gray dress and quickly tossed it on with a white sweater to double up the layers. As I stared at the dress I’d worn before, I wondered if Silas had seen my body through the transparent fabric. 

“I’m so, so stupid,” I hissed under my breath, stomping my foot as I stood near the door, pondering how to appear normal when leaving the 

room. 

I walked out, trying to look casual, my eyes on the TV as I pretended to be interested in what they were watching. From my peripheral vision, I could see Cain on the couch while Silas paced around. 

“Silas! How are you?” I managed to call his name, turning his attention 

to me. 

“Good,” he replied, not meeting my gaze. I instantly looked at Cain, who was thankfully noticing our interaction. 

“Silas! Sit down,” Cain said, but Silas shook his head. 

“I’m fine,” he responded, pacing from one corner of the apartment to the other, looking anxious. 

“Did he see us?” I almost whispered, afraid he might hear us too. 

“I don’t think so,” Cain shrugged, changing the channel. He seemed unbothered, but I was losing my mind. 

“I’ll make you two coffee,” I said, needing a minute to get away from them and be by myself. Once in the kitchen, I started pacing back and forth. While preparing the coffee, I stood next to the window and looked down at the road. It was pouring, so there was no way they could leave tonight. 

Then I heard a knock on the door, making me turn my head to see who it was. It was Silas. 

“You don’t need to knock on the kitchen door,” I tried making a joke, laughing nervously, but his serious face made my smile fade away. He kept his head down and walked over to me, then stopped and pushed his glasses onto the bridge of his nose. He then raised his head and fixed his gaze on me. 

“What was that?” The seriousness in his tone, along with the question. itself, sent shivers down my spine. 

“What?” I folded my arms over my chest, pretending to be confused.

“When I came inside, I found you two–,” he paused to take a deep breath, “he was fixing his pants and getting up from the couch. The couch where you were lying wearing a see–through dress that you needed to fix too,” he explained. It sounded pretty bad. 

“Huh? Ohhhh! I had fallen asleep on the couch without locking the door. He arrived and tried to wake me up, but I panicked and attacked him,” I laughed nervously, hoping he would crack a smile too. But he remained staring at my face with a weird, judgmental look. 

“Do you—do you want me to make you something? You must be hungry. Rain and cold weather call for good food,” I was talking too much. I was sure he was even more suspicious because he wasn’t saying a single word to me. 

“Let me make you sandwiches,” I said, turning my back to him even though I knew the conversation wasn’t over yet. 

“You had sex with my brother?” The moment I thought he might get a hint that there was nothing odd, he shocked me with his question. 

My body flinched and I spun to face him, keeping a very shocked look. on my face. 

“What?” I acted offended. 

“Don’t play me. You had sex with him. I didn’t see you attack him. I watched him get up after–” he finally revealed how much he had seen, and I felt like my heart had stopped beating. 

“I’m not sure what you saw, but I didn’t have—sex with him or any my stepbrothers,” I was panicking so hard that I began to mumble 

nonsense. 

His frown deepened and he lowered his head, as if thinking about

something. 

“Wait a minute, those rumors! Oh Goddess, they were true, weren’t they?” His eyes grew bigger, and he started stepping back. 

“Silas! That is not true. You are mistaken,” I uttered, anxiously rubbing my palms together. 

“You are fucking lying. I can’t believe this, Nora. I did not expect you to be such a great liar,” he said with a look of disgust, which made me lower my gaze and hug myself. 

I was on the verge of tears when he added, “All of them? I mean, did you do it with all of them except me?” he asked, and I shot my head up. 

“I am not saying you should do it with me—Goddess! What the fuck am I saying? I just want to know if you did it with all of them?” he threw a fist in the air in frustration. 

As he kept staring at my face, I steadily nodded and then lowered my head even more. 

“Brody?” The minute he mentioned him, I looked at Silas and shook my head. 

“You better not,” he suddenly yelled in my face, and I stepped back from him. “I don’t want to hear anyone say that filthy alpha touched you. Hope you remember it is just a way to clear your name and nothing else,” he warned me. 

I had never seen him act so possessive before. Then he added, “As for– the other stuff—I–” he gulped, swallowing hard before he admitted, “I have masturbated many times to your pictures.” 

229–Horny Much? 

Nora: 

The brothers were now sitting on the couch, watching TV while I kept pacing around in the kitchen, wondering if it happened for the best that Silas found out already, or if it could have been avoided. 

“What are you cooking in the kitchen that’s taking so long?” I heard Cain calling for me, and my mouth started to turn dry. 

“I am coming,” I lied; I wasn’t. 

I stood near the plate of sandwiches I had made and remembered Silas‘ words. 

‘He didn’t sound angry,‘ Akira uttered awkwardly. 

‘It doesn’t matter. These brothers take their anger out later,‘ I reminded her of how they later use things against me. 

‘He will have to use it against his brother too,‘ she hissed. 

‘Not really. I am the only one sleeping with almost all my stepbrothers.” I rolled my eyes when recalling how stupidly and easily I gave in and 

told him the truth. 

‘Look, what I am trying to say is that Silas had to find out someday,‘ she was still not getting my point. We had landed ourselves in a weird situation now. 

‘And he didn’t have to. The brothers have ended things with us and are dating those three bitches. Why would Silas have to know when we

don’t even wish to continue anything?‘ I groaned at her, holding the plate in my hands and taking deep breaths. 

Well, says the one who had sex not even an hour ago, how did you guys end things exactly?” At this point, I knew I had to shut her up, or I would keep losing my mind with her. 

I took a deep breath and decided to walk out since I couldn’t hide forever. 

I steadily reached the door and peered outside. Cain was watching the news whereas Silas seemed zoned out. I hoped he wasn’t thinking about me and the encounters I had with his brothers. 

“Here!” I walked out with a bright smile on my lips and held the plate for Cain. I remember vividly how he had hurt me, but right now I was in such a state that I didn’t want to argue with anyone. 

He grabbed a sandwich and then I moved to the side to offer one to Silas. Instead of taking just one sandwich, he ran his hand under the plate to grab the whole thing. But at the same time, his hand held mine from under the plate, and I swear I lost my breath. I quickly pulled my hand away while he acted nonchalant, putting the plate on the table and blankly staring at the TV. 

“So, Brody is not going to be home for a few days?” It was Silas who asked that question. I gulped and stole a glance at him while nodding my head in response. 

“Remember he had to go to his pack for work,” Cain whispered, but I heard it. He then gently nudged his brother’s elbow with his own, winking secretly while getting caught. 

“Oh right. Poor guy will have to stay out of his apartment for a while.” That smirk on Silas‘ face told me it was no emergency that Brody was

to make him leave. 

“You two can stay in my room,” as soon as that slipped my lips, the two paused and turned their heads to look at me in sync. 

“I move a lot in bed though. I will bother you—” Silas uttered slyly 

“I will be sleeping in Brody’s bed. What? Did you think–” I pouted when I realized he thought I was asking them to sleep in the same bed as me. What the heck was wrong with him? Why was he suddenly thinking about all this stuff? 

“You little fool! Are you crazy?” Cain slapped Silas on the back of his head, taunting him for taking it wrong. 

“I didn’t mean it that way. I was just joking.” It didn’t seem like he was, but I had to avoid further arguments. 

“I am sleepy. I will go to bed now.” That was a good idea. I would peacefully sleep in Brody’s room while they did whatever they wanted here. At least I would be away from their prying eyes. 

I got up and rushed into the room, locking the door and trying to catch my breath. After that whole messed–up interaction, my cheeks turned red every time I saw Silas staring at me. 

As I lay down in his bed, I realized it was not easy to fall asleep. But I still managed to close my eyes and keep them shut for almost a few minutes before my phone rang and I saw Silas’s message pop up on the screen. 

When I say my heart sank in my chest, I meant it. I gulped and sat up in the bed, my phone in my hands and my eyes on the text. 

Silas: Open the door. 

I bit my bottom lip, reading and re–reading the text. 

Me: Why? 

My hands were shaking so bad that I had to correct the spelling of the single word I sent him. 

Silas: I need to talk about something. 

I felt my throat getting drier, like needles were stuck in it. 

Me: About what? 

It took him a minute before he responded to this one. 

Silas: That day when I sucked on your breasts. 

The moment I read those words, I yelped and threw my phone away. What the heck! Did he really just say it out loud? 

And then another text made my phone ring again, but I was too scared to get near it as if he would grab me through the screen and undress 

1. me. 

My eyes then landed on the door, the underspace, and I saw a shadow there. He was outside the door, but why? 

‘I don’t want to open the door. The minute I see him–‘ I pressed my lips tightly to shut down my thoughts. I was aware of my body and how it would react to his sight, especially tonight. I was feeling aroused even though I didn’t want to. And more specifically, for Silas now. 

I steadily grabbed my phone and opened his text to read it, and that was it for me. 

220 Horny Much? 

Silas: I want to see your pussy tonight.
