Thread: Sibling Love (DareToDream & Feral.Desires)

He felt the mood in their booth change almost instantly, his sister taking his reaction as a rebuke, though he hadnt meant it that way at all. Derek had liked what they were doing, this little flirtation back and forth, but it confused him too. Hed always seen Lilly as his little sister, the one he was sworn to protect and keep safe, but now she was all grown up and so not acting like the little girl he remembered from the past. When she excused herself to go to the bathroom, her voice completely depressed, he gave an absent nod and then swore softly to himself the minute she was out of sight. His fist punched the booth with emphasis, his frustration coming out, and he swore again. The waitress must have seen the action because she was at his table in a flash, her hip jutting out and her shirt riding up just a notch. Problems in paradise, Sugar? she asked with a honey sweet voice, a brilliant smile directed at him. You know, if youre lady friend doesnt want you, I might be up for a little fun when I get off shift. Derek brought his gaze up her body slowly, a cocky little grin on his face for an instant and then he wiped it off. Thank you for the offer, darling he said but thinks are just a bitconfusing.right now. Might not be the best time for us. He matched her smile with one of his own as his gaze flickered over her again, letting her know he found her attractive, even if he didnt want to hook up. The woman hummed playfully and reached out to tap him on the forehead. Suit yourself, cutie but know if it doesnt work out, I dont mind sloppy seconds. Winking at him, she turned and moved to another table to wait on them. That simple little exchange had improved his spirits a little and there was a smile on his face when Lilly returned, thumping her lithe body down on her seat. The words began to flow instantly, though they took on a completely different tone than before, and when she was done, he grimaced. Patience? Youve been running late all damn day, sis and its your own lazy fault. Reaching across the table, he yanked the phone from her hands and closed it up, tucking it away in his pocket. Oh, ho, therell be none of that my text crazed beauty, not while youre out on a date with me. The minute the words were out, his heart sped up, which confused him even more. Was he going to flirt with her or not, he asked himself, because this back and forth crap was just gonna drive him nuts. Leaning over the table, he batted his eyelashes at her. Unlessof courseyou think you can get your phone back from me. Given where he tucked it, he doubted she would even try but he enjoyed the little tease nonetheless. Just then the waitress swept back in, her hands full of food, and started distributing it. The aroma alone made his stomach grumble and after receiving a muttered thanks, she was gone. Mmmm, this smells delicious. Dig in, my little brat, and see that Im not lying to you. Staring down at his mash potatoes an impish thought entered his mind and he couldnt resist, his finger dipping in and scooping some up. Before she could react, he reached across the table and smeared some of it on her lips, the action sending a bolt of fire down his spine. There.your first taste of something whiteand creamy he said, giving her a wink. As he dug into his steak next, his heart was pounding but his brain was boiling, his conscience warring with his inner devil. He knew he was sending mixed signals to her and he should stop but he wasnt entirely sure how.
