Anastasia's P.O.V

I decided that it was high time I forgave daddy for his mistakes so yesterday, when he came to get me, I went with him willfully.

Mom embraced Jason and me immediately we got home. It was evident she missed us and I especially missed her too... badly. I was so glad that everything was back to normal. Daddy just stood at a corner, smirking.

Kate is going to be coming back to her son's home after almost five years today. It was actually a big surprise we'd planned for Mom and it was going pretty well. She knew nothing about it and we made Jason keep shut by telling him we'll get him a toy race car if he didn't say anything.

We had already started making decorations with help from our maids. It wasn't anything grand but dad just wanted it grand.

Took you long enough to get back to your senses, didn't it?

We had ordered a 4-step cake which was for dessert and got some maids to cook different delicacies.

Whenever mom asked what all the decorations were for, Dad and I would just smile at each other and tell her that it's a secret and that she was soon going to find out. However, she stopped asking when she got the hint that we weren't going to tell her nada.

By 4:00 on the dot, a black limousine drove into the compound. By that time, we were done with the decorations and stood close to the door, waiting for grandma to come in. Just about everyone who was standing by the door already knew who just arrived so only Mom felt the suspense.

Some seconds later, the doorbell rang. When daddy opened the door, Kate emerged. Mom was utterly dumbstruck. She just stood, gaping in awe at the familiar figure that had just walked in while Jason and I chorused 'Welcome Kate!'

Son enough, Mom recovered from the shock and she got chatting with her like they were sisters. We're back to the old times, baby!

We had dessert which was the four step cake we had ordered while listening to the melodious tunes of Dolly Parton, Kate's favorite musician. I was so happy seeing the family back together again. We'd really missed her, honestly.

The five of us, believe it or not, partied till it was night. It was all so great!

Writer's P.O.V (The next day)

Bob and Mirabel had gone out since it was 4:00pm on their anniversary date. Before then, the whole family had gone to a pretty expensive restaurant to dine. Justin and Lisa had bought presents for the couple which they were going to give to them after their outing.

They had done the anniversary date every year but this year, something was different—Justin was now part of the family. They left, of course trusting everything to go smoothly at home. And why won't they? Justin was in his room, watching a movie and Lisa, in hers, engrossed in a novel she had been reading. What could possibly go wrong?

It began to get really boring for both of them when Lisa's parents hadn't arrived by eight. By then, the duo had already eaten dinner and had retired to their rooms.

Finishing the novel she was reading, Lisa smirked. She couldn't believe she hadn't thought about the idea that just crept into her head earlier on. Besides, it was supposed to be the main focus of the vacation for her—Getting Justin to love her.

They'd kissed millions of times but something was still missing. Maybe he longed for something more... something to finally convince him that they were made for each other.

She had showered earlier on so as soon as she got off her phone, she put on a skimpy red gown; Justin's favorite color. Then she wore a mildly scenting cologne. She stepped out of her room and paced to his. Taking a few deep breaths, she rapped at his door. Right then, she'd lost all sense of judgment. All she wasted was Justin and she was gonna get him.

**********

Justin was glad that something interesting was finally going to happen but he had no idea what was coming his way.

He walked to his door and opened it. And like a flash of lightning, Lisa attacked him fiercely with a passionate kiss. With just that kiss, there wasn't a lot of sanity in him. He too had gone gaga.

They caressed each other as they made for his bed. Surging sensations roamed through their bodies and the heat within them grew. At last, they got to the large, comfy bed, still kissing with the initial passion. As they did, silent, impatient moans escaped her lips into his.

They slumped on the bed, Lisa first. A couple more moans escaped her insides as she struggled to take off her gown. It came off easily after which she became bare but for her undies.

She flung her dress far away from the duo as they resumed their passionate craze.

He went crazier at the sight of the perfect, glamorous body he'd been yearning for. He really wanted to stop but he just couldn't. It was impossible.

There was an air of intense pleasure roaming the room as they cuddled and rolled non-stop on the bed. A couple of rolls later, she was atop him, seated on his stretched laps with his knees sunk deep into the bed like she was kneeling.

One look at her and she was red-hot and fiery. Hi hormones were messing so hard with him and though he tried to stop, he didn't really want to. She began unbuttoning his shirt which was a bit damp with sweat.

His body mesmerized her to the core and his heart... she almost could see it pounding hard against his rib-cage. She dove in for another French kiss. It was so long and adrenaline-filled; when they were done, their lips were red and a bit swollen. But no amount of swells was going to make her stop.

Everything was going as she planned until she started undoing her pink and white polka-dotted bikini. For some reason, at that moment the bikini rang a bell in his head.

He had seen Anastasia wear it before... the day that he almost made the same mistake he was about to make now.

Shit! His conscience yelled in his head. How could you forget that you have a girlfriend! And you're about to commit freaking incest! It screamed at him again. That was when he finally regained his long-lost senses.

Everywhere was wet... uncomfortably wet though the air conditioner was on. Lisa was about to do the unthinkable when he yelled "Stop it!"

That yell sent shivers through her spine as she stopped dead in her tracks. It came as a total shock to her as she didn't think her plan was going to go sideways.

"I'm sorry... I can't do this anymore." Justin uttered, choking on his words. His tone was calmer now.

Lisa on the other hand was nothing but devastated, again. What even made her feel that he'll even want to make love to her in the first place? Now, it just got to her that she was being so dense... and cheap.

"But why...?" She whined. Why would he just stop, after everything?

"I haven't been laid by anyone. It can't happen between us. I'm sorry," he stated coldly. All the pleasure in the room had evaporated by now and Lisa was left in shreds. She was so speechless that she shamefully nodded and got off his laps slowly, wishing he would change his mind.

She picked up her dress, put it on and walked out of the room. She got to her room and buried her face in her pillow, crying.

How could I allow myself get rejected like that???

Justin's P.O.V

First of all, What the Fuck!!!

I couldn't believe what just happened between my cousin and I this evening. It was crazy! We were crazy!

I had control of my body but I let my hormones take over. It was literally as if I had a seizure but without all the red. I couldn't deny that I wanted her but damn, I was outta control. Totally!

I was so glad when I finally regained consciousness and sent her out of my room. If I had made that mistake, I would've been screwed for life.

Now, I was really scared—after what happened, I just prayed in my heart that Lisa will keep everything to her damn self and not tell Ana any of it.

Hell, I couldn't even believe that Lisa. How could she stoop as low as trying to seduce me? She was out of her mind with desperation. I just couldn't place a finger on what she'd actually want from me that took her to that level. Damn!

I really needed to speak with... as friends.

I changed the blanket and went in for a shower. The warm water ran down my body gently as I used my hands to wash it. I just prayed God will forgive my numerous sins, starting with this one.
