Aiden holds me close and kisses my sweaty forehead. I feel so safe in his embrace. But just as I’m about to shut my eyes and drift to nothingness the front door slammed, followed by my
mother’s voice. “Kids! I’m home!”
I’ve never seen anyone move as quickly as Aiden. Suddenly he’s out from underneath me, his softening penis slipping out. He hurriedly yanks his pants back on and runs out of my bedroom door before I even say a word..
I scramble off bed myself, hastily throwing on clothes. My heart is pounding as I rush down the stairs. I skid to a stop in the living room, where my mom is chatting with Alan. She has her back to me. Alan catches my eye and gives me a secret wink.
“How was your nap, Ella?” Alanasks.
Ella‘ POV
Mom turns around and shoots me a wide loving smile. “Ella, sweetheart, I’m not going to be able to stay all night because of the project at work. It’s a massive project, so it’ll definitely

have my attention for the next few days. I just came home to grab some clean clothes” she finishes with a small laugh.
“Oh” I feel saddened by the fact that she’s going to be away for so long, but also strangely
relieved.
“I just gave Alan some money for more food since I know the twins will eat everything we have left in the fridge.” She chuckled at her own joke and added, “I was afraid you’d starve.”
I cross my arms and roll my eyes playfully. “Mom, I won’t starve. Aiden and Alan might be food vacuums but they wouldn’t let me go hungry. If anything they’ve been treating me like a new recruit or something, honestly it’s exhausting being home alone with them”
Alan’s eyes widen as he hears the lie I tell mom. And I smile mischievously.
Mom turns to Alan and giggles. “It wouldn’t shock me in the least bit if they woke you up at five in the morning to make you jog with them”
Alan shrugs and adds “Just trying to keep her in tip tip shape, she’s becoming a couch potato.”
I open my mouth to protest but shut it as soon as Mom turns to me. She smiles at me then turns back to Alan “You’re no longer in the Military, so you don’t have to bring that stuff home, you can do stuff normal people your age do instead”
“True true,” Alan says calmly “But we’re still under active duty so we can be called up at any time for service. That’s why we have to stay fit, we’re required to train at least one weekend every month” he finishes with a smirk.
Mom sighs “Well you can exercise Just don’t drag Ella into it, I don’t want her getting too muscular.” Then her voice reduces to a whisper as if she doesn’t want me to hear“You know most men prefer girls that are soft and delicate”
“Mom!” I yell.
She just laughs it off.
“We’ll try not to change that about her. But then again, I won’t be letting any guys around her, so I guess it really doesn’t matter in the end” Alan says.
Mom might see his statement as simple siblings being protective, but I knew it meant way more than that.
Mom swats his arm. “She’s already nineteen, Alan. My poor Ella is going to grow up to be a spinster.” She glances at me with a teasing smile. “I hear you have no luck in love because these two scare off any potential boyfriends.”
I let out an exaggerated sigh. And shake my head.
Fold Up
“And that’s how it should be,” Alan says firmly. “She needs our protection.”

Alone With My Twin Stepbrothers
Mom shakes her head but lets it go. “Alright, alright. Now tell me, is everything okay since I
left?”
“I’ve been fine, Mom,” I assure her.
She nods, then glances around. “Where’s Aiden?”
My throat goes dry. “Uh… he’s in his room. You know how he is. Likes to stay in his own space.”
Mom lets out a soft laugh. “He really is like a hermit.” She starts heading upstairs. “Let me go. grab my clothes, then I’ll be off”
As soon as she disappears, I turn my glare on Alan, but he’s already shaking with silent laughter.
“Oh, shut up,” I mutter, but I can’t help the laugh that bubbles up as well.
When Mom is safely upstairs, Alan leans in slightly, lowering b
voice. “I really hoped Aiden
and you wouldn’t get interrupted. I was just about to come join you guys.”
I shoot him a sharp look.
He grins, his dark eyes glinting mischievously and then he winks at me. Damn it.It’s hot.
I scoff, crossing my arms. “We finished just in time if you must know so thank you for your
concern.”
