Author's Note: So I was thinking to myself, 'Nicole, what would bea good twist for this story?' and it just came to me... things that are out of control...
Casey kicked off her heels and slid back into her comfy clothes. It was late, but the music was still pumping downstairs. She lay back on her bed and closed her eyes. The bass from the stereo wouldn't let her sleep, however… not that she was that tired anyway. All she could think about was stupid Derek. Stupid, hot, Derek. Stepbrother Derek.
The guy who annoyed her. The guy who ignored her. The guy who she had given her virginity to.
The guy who had looked almost…hurt when she had pushed him away when they kissed not fifteen minutes ago.
"What the hell am I doing?" Casey asked herself as she began getting out of bed. She found herself leaving her bedroom and moving down the hall, stopping at the stairs. She could see the crowd, but couldn't pinpoint the one person she was looking for. In her sweat clothes and bare feet, she walked down the steps and through the crowd. She looked around and around and finally took a chance, going out the front door. And there, sitting on the porch, was Derek smoking a cigarette by himself in the night.
"Put that out," she told him in a tsk-tsk tone.
Startled, he whirled around and stood up. His dark eyes settled on hers. Wordlessly, he put the cigarette out and looked down at his stepsister, wondering what she was doing out there.
Casey bit her lip and advanced him. "I, umm…" she looked away from him for a moment. "I tried to let you go. To forget about that night. Because, apparently you have—"
"What?" Derek interrupted. "You think I've forgotten about it?"
Casey looked at him accusingly. "Well, haven't you?"
Derek snorted. "I wish. Truth is… it's the only thing I think about."
Casey couldn't stop her jaw from dropping just a little bit. "Oh…I, uh, I thought you were pretending it never happened."
"I thought you wanted me to."
Casey wrapped her arms around herself as she considered this. "Part of me did. Because I know we can never have anything… can never be anything."
"You knew that when we started this…whatever it is…" Derek pointed out, remembering her words. "Let's just have this moment," she had said before they did the deed, sealing the deal.
Casey nodded, searching his face. Her eyes lingered on his soulful brown eyes and his full, teasing lips. Standing on her tip-toes, she suddenly moved up and pressed her lips against his aching ones, and that was all it took to get Derek right back into the mood. The mood for Casey. Lots and lots of Casey.
"It can't just be that one moment," he groaned against her lips as he lifted her up against him so he could kiss her more thoroughly.
"I know that now," Casey moaned back, closing her eyes and losing herself in their passionate kiss.
"I can't stop myself around you," Derek breathed honestly as he began desperately pulling at her clothes, trying to get them off as quickly as possible.
"Me neither," Casey gasped back, wrapping her legs around Derek as they moved towards the back of the house where there would be a little bit more privacy.
"Oh God…" Casey let out a moan of pleasure as Derek began sucking on her neck.
"This is so wrong…" Derek mumbled against her throat, loving the way Goosebumps covered her flesh as he touched her body.
That made Casey stop, as if a bucket of cold water had been thrown on her. She quickly snapped her eyes open and pushed Derek away from her. He reluctantly set her down, his eyes full of confusion and desire.
"What?" Derek searched Casey's narrowing blue eyes, trying to figure out why she had stopped them.
"You think this is wrong?" she spat out. "Then why didn't you stop us that night? Or was I just an easy lay?"
Derek's mind whirled at the total 180 his stepsister had done. "Wait, what?"
"I'm not doing this!" Casey exclaimed loudly, throwing her hands up in the air. But it was more directed to herself rather than Derek.
Derek's befuddled look now became angry. "What the hell are you doing, Casey? You can't just act like some goddamn tease—"
Casey interrupted his sudden outburst. "A tease? You're such an asshole!" she shouted back.
"And you're a bitch!" Derek yelled back heatedly.
Casey looked like she was about to slap him, when all of the sudden a loud scream from inside the house made them both stop.
"FIRE!"
