If he sees this, he’s totally going to think I’m just fishing for another paid hour of video sex. Shit.

No charge. Just want someone to talk to.

“Ugh,” I moan as I let my face fall into the pillow. “I’m pathetic.”

But then my phone buzzes in my hand.

I’m here. Talk to me.

I stare at his words in shock. Then I quickly reply,You probably think I’m crazy. I just need someone to talk to.

You’re not crazy. Talk to me, Kitten. Tell me anything. I’m listening.

He’s not real. This can’t possibly be a real, human man. None of them have ever responded to me like this. Not without some hint at wanting to see my tits in the process. Just to be safe, I keep our chat in the messages instead of going into a video chat. I look like hot garbage anyway.

Are you ready for a ridiculous confession?I ask.

Yes,he replies.

I think I’m in love with my stepbrother.

The line is silent for a while, and I start to panic that hedoesthink I’m crazy. Why did I lead with that? And to a client? What’s really strange is that I feel comfortable enough to talk so openly about my private life with a client. I wish I knew why, but I honestly have no idea.

It’s taking him too long to reply. There are no typing bubbles on the screen. Just silence.

I told you I’m crazy.

Does he know how you feel?he says, ignoring my ‘crazy’ remark again.

I laugh as I read his question. No. Garrett thinks I hate him, and although I think hate is a strong word, he definitely has no idea how I really feel. I call him cocky and obnoxious, and he calls me annoying and bratty, and even if he is flirting with me now, he’d much rather keep our relationship as stepsiblings-with-benefits than try to make it anything else.

I could never tell him. He would laugh in my face if I ever told him that.

I highly doubt that,he responds.

Do you think he has feelings for you?

I laugh again.No. I thought maybe he wanted to sleep with me, and we almost did last night but then…

Then what?

Then he turned me down. It was humiliating.

I’m sorry.

It’s not your fault,I reply.It was stupid of me to be so vulnerable. For years, I thought he hated me. He always saw me as the annoying little sister, so I could never be honest about my feelings. I figured that if he saw me as a pest, then that’s what I would be.

Wow.

Letting out a sigh, I stare at my own messages, letting this sink in. I can’t believe I’m telling him all of this, but then again, he’s just a guy on the internet. It feels good to finally get it all out, though.

I’m sorry for unloading all of this on you. I guess I just needed to talk to a guy who really sees me. I can’t believe after only two chats, I feel this comfortable with you. This is crazy.

He types for a while, the little bubbles bouncing on the screen as he puts together his next message, and I wait not-so-patiently. Finally, his message pops up.

I do see you, Kitten. And your stepbrother is an idiot. He clearly doesn’t see the real you, and that’s a shame. Sounds to me like he doesn’t deserve you. But you can talk to me anytime. And I won’t ask for anything in return. I never want you to think I only like you for one thing.

My jaw literally drops. How does he seem to know all the right things to say?
