Lakesides and Longing

Forbidden Romance. Brother’s best friend. One hot summer all alone.

I left home at 18 and never looked back. It’s not that my home was horrible or anything, it’s just that my cheating scumbag of a husband didn’t approve of my family.

He’s gone and now my brother’s way overprotective and visits me at least once a month and has all my neighbors texting him if they think something is wrong.

I keep telling him I’m fine.

Even if I can’t drive anymore because of my panic attacks.

Even if I wake up screaming every night.

Even if someone breaks into my house.

That was one too many things for him so now he’s left his meathead bff to watch over me and I can’t stand the man.

But one night we fall asleep together watching movies and suddenly everything is different. The problem is if my brother finds out, he might kill us both.
