Cameron Thorne has had a starring role in my fantasies for years.
So what if he’s the bassist in my older brother’s rock band? So what if my brother would kill Cameron if he looked twice at me?
I knew my schoolgirl crush would never amount to anything. After all, I’ve been abroad for years.
Then I returned home.
That cute boy from my memories is now a sinfully hot rock star god.
Cameron doesn’t see me as a little kid or a sister to look out for. He sees me as a grown woman. Suddenly all my dirty fantasies are coming true.
We knows it’s wrong.
I’m his bandmate’s little sister.
But we can’t fight it.
He knows there will be hell to pay, but he doesn’t care.
Cameron is sin. My secret sin. And he is so worth the burn.
"Lily…" His voice was pained. "You don't know how much I…" His eyes fell to my mouth. "…how much I wish you just were just a normal girl."
All the air left the room.
"But this?" he continued. "This can't happen."
My heart sunk. I looked down, not meeting his eyes.
"I get it. I'm Noah's baby sister. You can't betray his trust."
"It's not just that," he muttered. "I can't fucking do this to you."
"Do what to me, exactly?"
"You go speechless whenever you see me without a shirt," he said with utter patience.
I flushed, understanding his meaning. "Oh. You mean, because I've never…?"
He gave me an almost wry smile. "Don't you know your first time is supposed to be special?"
"Are you saying it wouldn't be special with you?" I gave him my best teasing smile, trying not to waver. "And here I thought you prided yourself on pleasing the ladies."
He shot me a look. "That's different."
I shifted closer, until I was practically pressed against him. "How is it different?"
"I've never—" He snapped his jaw closed, looking frustrated.
Understanding dawned on me. "Have you never been someone's first before?"
"No." He ran a hand through his sweat-dampened hair, looking exhausted. "At least, I don't think I have." He glanced down at where my hand rested on his chest. He traced the back of my hand with the tip of his finger. Heat radiated from that single point of contact, sending nervous excitement flooding through me. "And I've never…"
I leaned closer, bringing our faces closer together. "Never what?"
His eyes dropped to my lips again. I wet them unconsciously. He shut his eyes with a groan. When he opened them, they were full of fire.
"I've never wanted to be someone's first before." His eyes were still focused on my mouth.
"I want you to be mine," I said softly. "I don't want anyone else. I want it to be you."
I mustered all the bravery I could. I wrapped my arms around his neck, until my breasts were pressed to his chest.
"I want you to teach me. I want you to teach me everything."
"Fuck." His eyes blazed. "I told you. Don't say shit like that to me."
"Or what?" I challenged. "What are you going to do?"
He placed his hands on my hips, thumbs rubbing the sensitive skin exposed between my tank top and skirt. A spike of heat hit my gut like a blow, nearly taking my breath away.
"This is such a bad fucking idea," he murmured.
Pushing his hair away from his face with both hands, I met his blue eyes. They were burning with need. I stood on my tiptoes and leaned forward, until we were inches away.
"I want you, Cameron."
I could practically sense the moment he snapped. The pupils of his eyes dilated, blowing wide open. Cameron let out a low grunt.
"Fuck it," he growled.
He closed the gap and pressed his lips to mine.
Fireworks exploded across my vision.
All the air left the room.
"But this?" he continued. "This can't happen."
My heart sunk. I looked down, not meeting his eyes.
