happy.”
In
that moment it felt like this weight had been lifted from Lyric’s shoulders,
like something had cleared from her vision, from her mind. Landon gave her hand
a squeeze, his smile big. In all honesty she still would have been with him if
their parents hadn’t agreed with it, but knowing they wanted them happy made
this so much better. Knowing they accepted them didn’t make her feel like she
had to sneak around or feel shamed by what she felt, by who she loved. No one
should ever feel anything but happiness when they found love, when they found
that person that made them feel whole. Landon certainly made her feel that and
more, and she’d make sure to always let him know that he was it for her.

Two months later
They
were done with high school, having just graduated this past weekend. Lyric
planned on going to college next spring, because she wanted a semester off just
to relax, gather herself, and spend time with Landon without the stress of
starting the next chapter in her life. Since they’d first gotten together,
expressed their feelings, and told their parents, things had been very …
normal. She didn’t know if things should have been different because she was
with Landon, but they weren’t, and she liked that.
Lyric
liked being able to hug him in front of her father and not feel weird because
of it. Of course the PDA in the house stopped at that, because giving a hug and
letting Landon touch and kiss her in front of her father and his mother was a
line she wasn’t going to cross. They’d blurred the lines already by being
together, and she’d never take that back, but she didn’t want to thrust her
relationship in anyone’s face either.
“Baby,”
Landon said right beside her cheek, his warm breath teasing the tendrils of her
hair.
She
turned and looked at him, smiling at the wicked expression on his face. Their
parents were just in the kitchen making popcorn and laughing with each other,
so right now it was just her and Landon. Lyric wouldn’t say there weren’t parts
of her that felt slightly weird at how things had turned out, because they were
strange and certainly not the norm. Falling in love with her stepbrother wasn’t
something she’d planned or ever saw herself doing, but it happened, and she
knew she’d never regret a moment of it.
“Let
me kiss you while we’re still alone,” he said softly and grinned, and before she
could answer he leaned forward and kissed her like he didn’t kiss her every
day. He swept his tongue along the seam of her lips, and then plunged it in her
mouth, but only for a second. He pulled away and righted himself, reaching down
to adjust his clear erection so it wasn’t noticeable, and grinning the whole
time. He inflamed her with just a look, a touch, or even a smile. They were
respectful of their parents though, not having sex while they were home. That
would be too fucked up, even for her.
Besides,
there were plenty of places away from them and everyone else where they could
be together, where they could explore each other without the hushed whispers
and looks they got when they were in town together. Just because her father and
Landon’s mother were okay with their relationship, didn’t mean everyone was.
No, they were still looked at by some as twisted and disgusting, despite the
fact the only thing connecting them was a marriage between their parents. It
was what it was, and soon she’d be going to college, and starting her life with
Landon.
That’s
all she wanted.
Her
father was the first to come back into the living room, several cans of pop in
his hands and under his arms. He set them on the table and handed one to Lyric
and then another to Landon. He then firmly situated himself between them. She
couldn’t help but smile at that. Her father was still so protective of her, and
always would be.
Landon’s
mother came in a minute later, a bowl of popcorn and some candy in her hands,
and set them on the table, as well. She
