The empty glass drops from her hand, an accidental slip or an attempt to throw it at me. Who knows.
It shatters on the pool deck with a sound that rips the evening in half.
Coward, huh?
If she were a dude, I’d already have her on the ground, one hand on her throat.
She’s upset, I remind myself.
She’s just my overly emotional, clueless stepsister I never asked for.
She isn’t used to this and she’s acting out.
Nothing more.
I’m sober enough to run up the long, curling staircase without breaking my neck before I slam the door to my room shut, thank fuck.
I need to sleep this off.
In the morning, I’ll be wherever she isn’t. I’ll scout out every inch of this miserable castle and figure out how we can avoid crossing paths again.
I can fuck chicks with a little crazy.
I could fuck my own stepsister, too.
But I can’t fuck avirgin, no matter how much this animalistic darkness in my soul howls at me to mount her, to claim her, to ruin her for life.
I have a few civilized bones left in my body, thank you very much, and I also have limits.
Delia doesn’t deserve the inevitable poison and heartbreak the minute after I’m spent.
My third rule has always been the most important for good reason.
I don’t do love, and loving her when she gives up her body is all she deserves.

Purple Princess (Delia)
Welp, it happened.
I played with fire, and I got burned.
This whole idea was stupid. Idiotic.Devastating.
Worst of all, it’s my own freaking fault.
It takes me a long time to drag myself upstairs after I calm down and find a broom to sweep up the broken glass. I won’t have our housekeepers cleaning up a mess I never should’ve made.
A long hot shower helps take the edge off my nerves.
Then I settle down in front of my computer, desperate for a new idea.
There’s a new message from the professor. Of course, he says the SEAL idea sounds promising.
Yeah, about that...
My stomach knots. I can’t fathom how I’m supposed to do a character study on a man I can’t stand being in the same room with.
