Inheritance

Chapter 42

"Tell them to come back tomorrow. I'm busy." My face reddened, as Kendall's stormy orbs latched onto me, so that he was now suffocating me with both his hands and his penetrating stare.

"Sir, I-" Miranda began, seeming apprehensive to follow his orders.

"What the fuck is the problem, Miranda?" Kendall grew irritated, as a wary frown line began to gloss over his Greek-like features. However, he still kept his hands glued to my body, making sure his fingertips ventured up to my brown nipples. He pinched them softly, causing me to squirm.

"Sir, it's your brother." She finally relayed and, by the silence that followed, one would think a nuclear bomb had been dropped.

"I'll be out in a minute." Kendall shocked me by saying, instantly removing himself from my body as if I had been scorched by flames. Uninviting thoughts of self-doubt consequently infiltrated my mind.

Here I was standing hot and ready for him. Yet, he'd rather leave me to go talk to his...brother? 

The humbling realization alone hurt, as I couldn't help but wonder if the sight of my naked body hadn't been enough to make him want to stay. 

It wasn't long before I mirrored his disengaged conduct, releasing my hold on his still hard protuberance. 

Stepping out of the shower, Kendall walked over to a cabinet to grab two dry towels. He handed me one, then used the other to cover his lower half. From the way his mood had noticeably soured, I was fighting the internal urge to ask about his brother. I found it strange how I'd known him since he was a child, but he'd never mentioned anything about having a sibling. 

What else didn't I know about this man, who mere seconds ago, I was planning to thirstily let have his way with the parched jewel between my legs?

These thoughts festered in my head, until I couldn't hold back my uncertainty any longer. I draped the white fluffy towel he'd given me around my still sensitive frame, then stepped out of the shower.

"Brother? I didn't know you had a brother." I finally said, approaching his form currently standing in front of the mirror. I tried to mask my growing anxiety by absently inspecting some of the leave-in conditioners neatly arranged along the counter.

"Well, yes. I have a brother." He defensively clarified, either not knowing or not caring to know that his words hadn't made the reveal any less surprising.

It was hard not to be annoyed by his indifferent response, seeing as though everything about the situation was unfair. He knew about my family. He even met my mother and attended one of our family vacations. Yet, I couldn't ask him about his brother. I was tired of this one-sided bullshit dynamic.

"Okay...? Why do you do this, Kendall? You keep every little thing in your life a secret. Then, when I ask about it, you get mad. Just so you're aware, this is all brand new to me." I complained, pausing my inspection of the conditioner packages displayed before me to stare exhaustively at him.

Now that I actually thought about it, I didn't know anything about his biological family. 

He ran a tiresome hand through his damp locks, which had lazily fell over his forehead. His thick eyebrows furrowed inward, before he inhaled a delayed breath. His tongue ticked, then he finally offered me his full attention.

"Look, we'll talk about this later. Okay?" He asked, while I eyed him curtly. When I saw he wouldn't change his stance, I hesitantly nodded my head.

"Thank you." He finished, dowsing me with two simple kisses to the forehead, then abruptly leaving the bathroom. Erection and all.

It took me an additional half hour to completely condition and dry my hair. After moisturizing my body, I threw on the oversized sweatpants and t-shirt Kendall had loaned me. Exiting from the bathroom, I headed for his inviting bed.

While lying on the quality-cushioned mattress, I tried to make myself comfortable until thoughts of Kendall's brother began to persist in my head. What was he like? Was he smart? Nice? Was he just as handsome as Kendall? Or, was he a sight for sore eyes?

Though my curiosity attempted to get the best of me, I allowed the thoughts to subside. I welcomed the sleep that had yet to come, and eventually found my consciousness slowly waning. Before long, I had become a well-established citizen of dreamland and was in no rush for morning to come.
