Chapter 78: Confessions
settle Elise into our bedroom as soon as we get home. She doesn’t ask any questions as to why we don’t give her our spare
room to sleep in, and I am grateful for that. She’s a bit too young to be learning about the things that Jace
and I do behind that door, which reminds me that I have to make sure the door is locked at all times.
“Are you hungry, Elise?” Jace asks as he begins pulling out items from the fridge.
“Sure, but you don‘t have to make me anything, I‘m sure I can find something to eat.” My sister states.
“Jace cooks every chance he gets,” I chuckle, “He’s always learning new dishes.”
“Okay,” Elise shrugs, “whatever, I‘m not too picky.”
“Alright! Macaroni and cheese coming right up!” Jace pumps his fist in the air.
Elise looks at me and raises a brow, “Gee, you have to be a genius to be able to make that dish.” She says jokingly.
“Oh, it‘s not the boxed stuff, and don‘t ever let him catch you eating the boxed stuff,” I say softly as
I lean towards her, “He makes his from scratch, and once you‘ve had it, you will never want the box mac again.”
“Alrighty then,” her eyes sweep the apartment, “Do you mind if I jump into the shower quick?”

“Not at all. You have your own bathroom while you‘re here, so shower away.” I‘m trying to keep a
positive attitude and I‘m really hoping that we can work our issues out while she is here.
Once Elise disappears into her room, Jace comes and sweeps me off my feet and presses his lips to mine. He always
seems to know when I‘m needing him without me having to tell him. He sets me
back on my feet and brings his hand up to my cheek, caressing his thumb back and forth against it.
“Are you doing okay?” He asks with a bit of concern.
Nodding, I smile gently, “Yeah, I‘ll be fine.”
“I don‘t want to leave, just to come back and find a dead body that I will have to take care of.” He kids, of course, but I know he is
worried about us being alone together.
Laughing now, I playfully slap his chest, “We will be fine, and you can‘t miss your first night of work, Jace.”
“Mm, will you be waiting for me when I get home?” He wiggle: his brows.
“You know I will be, and hopefully that room is soundproof
enough.” | quirk a brow.
“It won‘t matter if I gag you, now, will it?” He nuzzles my neck, and I can already feel the heat rising between my legs.
“Stop! I refuse to suffer until you get home! If you get me all worked up, I WILL play with myself and send it to you just to tease
you while you‘re stuck at work.”
“Listen, to my little nympho, thinking that she won‘t get

punished by touching herself without my permission.” He nibbles on my earlobe as his hand slides
between the gap in my legs. Cupping my sex, he reminds me, “This is mine, and nobody touches it unless I say.”
I‘m becoming breathless, “Maybe I should add one more thing to my hard limits list then.”
“Hm, what‘s that?”
“That you can‘t get off either unless I say.”
l’ Il stop.” He places a peck on my nose and goes back over to the stove.
Giggling, I go into our temporary room to clean myself up and change into more comfy clothes.
Elise and I decide to watch the newest season
of the Bachelor on Netflix. Jace has already left for his first night at Shameless, but not without making both me

he other side of the door until I turned every lock we have, which are two deadbolts and a chain. Yes, we are a bit paranoid.
The silence between me and my sister is foreign to me. We always had something to talk about, even when we were watching tv
together. So, getting the silent treatment from her is beyond torture. Picking up the remote, I hit the pause button and turn towar

After studying her profile for a few minutes, I finally speak up, “So, are we going to do this the whole two weeks that you are
here?”
She glances down at her fingers, “I don‘t know, it depends.”
“On?”
Her blue eyes meet mine, “On whether or not you will be mad at what it is that I need to talk to you about.”

“You made a mistake, there is a difference.” I squeeze her shoulder.
“No, you don‘t understand. I messed up really bad; I trusted the wrong person.” I notice a teardrop drip from her eye, and now I‘

“Hey, what is it?”
Elise shakes her head, “You‘re going to hate me after I tell
you.”
“I can never hate you, Elise. No matter how much you may

annoy me at times, or how much we fight, at the end of the day, you are still my sister.” I wrap both my arms around her and hug
her to me.
“It was me.” she whispers.
“What was you?”
“He said that he loved me and that he wanted to be with me, but that you were
standing in our way.” She is still whispering but I‘m close enough to still be able to hear what she’s saying.
Creasing my forehead, I try to make heads or tails of what she‘ s saying but I‘m not understanding it, “I was
standing in the way of you and who?”
“You don‘t understand, Ella, he was my first, and I love him. He told me that he‘s never been with anyone like me, and that he co

sorry, Ella!”
All I want to do is shake her until she tells me what she’s trying to say, but I know better. I need to be patient if I want her
to continue, otherwise, she will close herself up tight. I‘ve never seen my sister like this before; she’s always been the happy
cherub that everyone loves to be around.
“EI, I can‘t help you if you don‘t tell me what it is that you are sorry for. I promise that whatever it is, I will think before I act or say
anything. I will look at it from your point of view first, and then decide how to handle it.”
When she looks back up at me, I can see just how sorry she
is. Her face is red and puffy from crying, and her continuous sniffles tells me she is in need of a tissue, or maybe a box
of them. Reaching over to the table behind the couch, I grab the half–empty box of Puffs and hand them to her.
“Thank you.” She takes a few and blows her nose, before turning back to me, “Before I tell you, I want you to know that I understa

She hesitates one last time, “I’m the one that recorded you and Jace in your room.” She shuts her eyes tight, not wanting to see
my reaction.
I‘m left stunned, not sure what to say just yet. As I sit here, I stare at the girl who used to belt out the tunes to Ed Sheeran’ s
shivers, not even a year ago, in my car as I drove her to school. She‘s the only one that has been by my side for the two years
that I had nobody else. Maybe I shouldn‘t have kept her in the dark; maybe I should have shared all of it with her, then we
wouldn‘t be where we are today.
I make good on my word, and I don‘t storm off. I sit here and think over everything she just word vomited out while trying to get to
point. My sister: my cute little bubbly, baby sister recorded me, and my boyfriend having kinky sex
and then handed it over to someone.
“Who?”
“El...”
“Who had you make the video?” I try keeping my voice calm but I‘m beginning to break.
“I was in love with him, Ella. He used me, I‘m sorry.”
Through gritted teeth, I ask her one last time, “Who. Was. It?”
“It was Mason...”
