“Hazel, don’t do this.”
“Do what? Tell you the truth?”
“Sugar—”
“I can’t keep this locked up inside me anymore! You have no idea how many times I’ve tried not to think about you!”
His jaw clenched. “Keep your voice down.”
My hands fisted at my sides. “You don’t know how often I’ve told myself this would never work between us. It plays endlessly in my head. I’ve often hated you because you couldn’t see how much I cared for you. You couldn’t see me, and I know I’ve shown you several times.”
“For fuck’s sake,” he bit in a harsh tone.
“That’s all you can say?”
“What do you want from me? You’re my best friend’s sister, his twin sister. I can’t—”
“He doesn’t have to know.”
“I’ll know!”
I grimaced, holding back the tears as I reached for him. “It’s okay, Ledger.”
He shoved my hands away, brutally spewing, “It’s far from fucking okay.”
I was at my wits’ end. “What if I wasn’t Chance’s sister? Would you be with me then?”
I waited on pins and needles for his reply, anxiously lingering on his every word.
“It doesn’t matter,” he profoundly declared. “You are his sister, and there’s no changing that. I’m not going to stand here and pretend you’re not. It’s fucking pointless.”

“I’m just saying, we’ve known each other for most of our lives, and I could see how that could twist your perception of what you think love is.”
I gasped. “I can’t believe you. You’re treating me like a little girl who doesn’t understand basic emotions. You think this has been easy on me, Ledger? You think I’ve wanted to feel this way for you for almost a decade?”
His stare went wide.
“Yeah, that’s right. Now tell me again how I don’t know what I’m feeling? Because I sure as shit know what it felt like the first time you got your dick sucked and every time since, but maybe, just maybe, you were doing that on purpose to push me away?”
He growled, stepping close to my face. “Hazel, don’t fuck with me.”
“No, I’d much rather you fuck me instead.”
He adamantly shook his head. “This can’t be how you want your first time.”
“As long as it’s with you, I don’t care.”
“Hazel…” He wiped away a tear from my cheek with his thumb.
I thought his rejection hurt, but it was nothing compared to what he declared next. “I’m sorry, Sugar. I just don’t love you like that.”
And before I could recover from his confession, he quickly ordered…
