Summary: What happens when Derek Venturi can no longer deny his feelings for his stepsister Casey McDonald? What happens if she feels the same way? Casey tries to delicately balance crossing the line even though she wants to see past Derek's cocky façade, she knows if she sees past the armor he puts up she'll fall in love with the boy who challenges her so. Derek knows that kissing Casey is wrong, and he knows she feels like what they do together is a sin but he won't stop.
"Discovery"
Casey McDonald was always practical, perfect, and annoyingly perky. This is what Derek Venturi hated most about his stepsister. Since his father George married her mother Nora and they all moved in together Derek couldn't stand her. Over the past ten months he'd grown to more than like her. It was no secret she was easy on the eyes with long brown hair, stunning blue eyes and a fantastic tan which she maintained in Canada for crying out loud. Not to mention her gorgeous dancer's body.
He first thought it was a crazy hormonal thing, it began with sex dreams. Then it turned into a bit of an obsession. He found himself spying on her. He was even masturbating while she was watching TV in the same room. One day they were having a random argument in the kitchen and he just grabbed her and kissed her.
He figured that if he slipped up and kissed her she'd probably slap him. But she put her arms around his neck molding their bodies together as she kissed back. The sound of Edwin and Lizzie their younger siblings tearing down the stairs caused them to snap back to reality.
Casey recovered and gave him the slap he was waiting on and then she walked out of the room just as the other two came in.
"What's with her?" Edwin asked as Casey breezed past them.
"I'll talk to her. What did you do this time?" Lizzie asked.
"Nothing. I'll talk to her myself." Derek darted after her.
Casey was already in her room crying by the time he made it up the stairs.
"Casey look I didn't mean for that to happen."
"I don't want to talk about it." She mumbled.
"I'm sorry." He said closing the door.
She looked at him like he was an alien her makeup smeared and to him she'd never looked prettier.
"Why did you have to go and do that Derek?" she demanded.
"I didn't mean too. You didn't have to kiss me back. Why did you kiss me?" he asked.
"That's not important. The important thing is that it can't happen again. This wrong we're family."
"Not by choice and we're not blood related I don't see why we can't." he pointed out.
"I don't want to that's why!" she yelled, "No get out."
"What if I don't want to get out?" he said stepping closer.
He grabbed her hips and pulled their bodies closer. She whimpered in shock and he forced his mouth onto hers and she let him devour her.
"I may be wrong but you do want this Miss MacDonald." Derek stated.
"Get your hands off me Venturi!" she shouted.
"That's the last thing you want."
"I'm going to kick you."
"You're beautiful…" he told her.
She stood gaping at him, "You've lost it."
"No…I've found it." He whispered and she blushed.
"We can't…" she pleaded her blue eyes brimming with tears.
"But you want to?" he asked taking her hand in his.
"I wish that we could, and I wish you were interested in more than my body."
"I want more than your body babe."
"Oh really?"
"Yes, Ma'am."
"Prove it." She stated.
"Don't mind if I do. Derek Venturi loves challenges. And I've never met one like you."
She smirked.
"Likewise. But no one can know about what's going on with us."
"I'm not stupid Casey, but if this goes where I'd like it to they're going to have find out sometime."
"They can't find out. If they find out it's over and it never happened." She said.
Derek frowned he knew their parents would have definite reservations about the two teens seeing each other but they weren't blood siblings. And had they met under different circumstances it would have been fine.
He nodded and started toward her door.
"Where are you going?"
"You told me to prove it and I'm going to do just that."
He left her flustered and confused. He was certainly a guy who went all out for a girl he liked. She'd seen other girls get that kind of attention, but it was fleeting and had undertones of usual crude Derek. She sighed he really sounded sincere. And the kisses were amazing.
She hid out in her room until dinner time. George and her mother were going out for dinner. And Marti was spending time at her friend Cassie's house. Edwin was digging worms with Lizzie for a science project in the backyard. She figured she'd go down and make dinner.
When she got downstairs she saw something unusual, Derek over the stove.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"It's kind of obvious but it was supposed to be a surprise."
"You're making dinner and it smells good?" she asked.
"Yes. It's lasagna, garlic bread, green bean casserole and I even made salad."
"I can't believe you did all this."
"Get used to it." He smirked that sexy little Derek smirk.
"We've got a few minutes before it's done what do you want to do?" he asked watching her as she gazed out of the window at Edwin and Lizzie.
Both of them seemed to be just as scared of the worms as the other neither of them wanted to touch them and they were doing the wiggles at the sight of the earthworms. Casey found her younger siblings amusing for half a second, then she remembered her own situation. She was falling for the wrong possible guy.
Derek stepped closer she could feel his breath on her neck and his arms around her waist. She sighed closing her eyes.
"Penny for your thoughts."
"Thinking about you of course. You aren't at all what I expected. You can't be the rebellious cool guy and the sensitive caring guy."
"Do I have to be one or the other?"
"Yes…"
"I have many sides Casey. Some of which I haven't yet shown. Keep that in mind." He let go of her and moved over to the stove.
She called the kids in from outside and made them wash up and Derek served a nice quite dinner.
"You actually made dinner?" Edwin asked in disbelief.
"For the last time yes."
"If you don't mind me asking. Why? Not that it's not a good meal and all but it isn't your style Derek." Lizzie said.
"This is only a style I hadn't yet shown you."
Casey smiled and brushed her bare foot up Derek's pant leg. His demeanor changed and she could swear he was sweating from just a little footsie. She decided to kick it up a notch and put her foot in his lap she had to be careful not to kick him just to tease him.
Derek brought his closed fist down on the table and grunted he was blushing hard.
"Is something wrong?" Casey asked, trying to hold back her giggles.
"Nothing water just went down the wrong pipe is all." He lied.
Once dinner was over Casey volunteered to help with the dishes.
"You should know it's not nice to tease." Derek whispered sliding up beside Casey.
"You are so cute when you blush. I want to see it more often." She said.
"You know that I have to tease you in return." He said making sure to blow on her ear.
She shuddered nearly dropping the plate she was watching. He pressed himself up behind her, she could feel how hard he was.
He kissed the back of her neck and she moaned. Nothing had ever been so sensual before. He bit her earlobe. She whimpered arching into him.
"I'm going to let you finish up here and pick out a movie for us to watch while the other two work on their assignment way up stairs." Derek said.
She finished the dishes, and went onto the family room. She found him sitting on the couch with the remote. He patted the space beside him.
"What are we watching?" she asked.
"40 Year Old Virgin."
"I've been looking for an excuse to see it. I hope I'm not forty and still a virgin."
"With the way things are going you won't have to worry about that."
"Is sex all you really want from me?" she asked.
"No, I want you Case. I want to know every part of you, and I'm not talking about just body parts. I know you're not ready for sex. I am I won't rush you. You're a very special girl and you deserve a special first time. And I hope when it is time you'll let me take care of you."
"Are you still…?" she blushed unable to speak the word.
"A virgin?" he laughed, "Yes, shockingly enough."
"I thought you had…"
"I've come close, but I wasn't with a girl a truly cared about." He said his brown eyes glistening with sincerity.
She smiled and slipped her hand in his as they started the movie they were only a couple of minutes into it when Edwin and Lizzie came bounding down the stairs. Both of them complaining about the other. Casey and Derek snatched their hands away from each other
"Edwin lost my sharpies!"
"I did not, she lost them!"
Casey sighed, keeping this relationship a secret and spending time together all at the same time was going to be difficult.
