Tame Me My Brother -in-Law

CELINE’s POV “When did you get bitten by a snake?” | shrieked, feeling so panicked. My voice was obviously a little frantic and worried.

How did this happen? When did this happen? “I'm fine!” Sebastian snapped, pulling his hand back from my grasp, and his voice was unusually calm.

| frowned, thinking if | had missed any details, and that’s when | recalled how he pulledtight in a hug earlier, when the snake was -ready to attack me.

“Did you block the snake for me?” | looked at him in shock. That was the only thing | could think of why he had been bitten by a snake. Why did he even do that? Why did he save me? “Don’t think too much, Celine...” he sneered. “Why would | even make myself hurt just because of you...?"” “Whatever!” | grabbed his hand again, examining the marks that ruined his beautiful calloused hand, and grazed it with my thumb. I couldn’t help but feel worried about him. What if it's poisonous and the venom was already sc attered all over his body? Oh my Go d! | have to act fast now or he’s going to die. And it’s all because of me. | wasted no tand bent down, thinking that by doing this I'd save him... but before my lips could even touch his skin, Sebastian grabbed my chin and lifted it up to stop me.

“What the hell are you doing?” he asked, his expression was full of shock. “Are you crazy? Don’t even try to do that!” | rolled my eyes and swatted his hand away before | lowered my head 1/7 +25 BONUS and finally sucked the poison from his hand. | did it repeatedly, and | could feel him flinch every t| sucked at it. | dared to look up to see his reaction while | was busy with his hand and he was red all over, his Adam's apple was bobbing up and down during the process. When | thought that | had sucked all the poison from the wound, | stopped and spat out the blood from my mouth.

“Do you think I'll be grateful for you doing it this way?” | heard him say but | ignored him. | wiped the corner of my mouth with the back of my hand, placed his wounded hand on my lap and tore a small cloth from the hem of my dress. “Hey! What are you doing?” “Stay still! Don’t move!” | ordered and smiled secretly when he obliged without hesitation. | wrapped the fabric around his hand and secured it with a tie at the end as a precaution.

“Have you not read any books or have you watched too many TV shows? Sucking the poison in your mouth is very dangerous! It's the most useless and s tupid way, you idiot!” “At least I've saved you...” | smirked and | could feel him watchingas | stood up and sat in front of the fire. | rubbed my hands, trying to heat up before | drew my hair aside, rubbing my aching nape.

SEBASTIAN'S POV For the past twenty-seven years of my life, I've never felt out of control. But this time, because of this woman, | merely lost all my control, my moral was broken into the bottom line. | never thought that | had slept with my fiancee’s sister, not only once, not only twice, but thrice. Da mn it! And | was so stup id to save her from that snake and | got bitten. What is this woman doing to me? | shouldn't feel like this to her. She's Brylee’s sister, for f uck’s sake! 2/1 +25 BONUS My eyes followed her as she stood up from sucking my hand. Yeah... the sucking process. | could feel the heat travelling all over my body when she was doing it. Then she looked up at me, and our gazes locked. | don’t know why | find her cute while having that smile in her eyes.

Did | just say that she’s cute? No f ucking way! But it’s true though... Her eyelashes are so thick and long-they cast a shadow over her cheeks as my gaze stayed on her face. Her lips were full and small, and so naturally red. She didn’t have to put anything on her face, like make-up or anything. Unlike Brylee...

S hit! Then | remembered last night. The way Celine surrendered to me. The moment she gave her all. F uck! She shouldn't have provokedlike that! | watched her sit in front of the fire and drew her hair to the side, rubbing her hands as she wet her lips. Go ddam mit! It doesn’t have to be slow motion. This girl annoys me, but | don’t know why I love watching her.

And then my eyes darted at the birthmark on her neck. In a press. conference about a month ago, she admitted that she’s the girl in the video who slept with that young model. Well, | watched the video and...

S hit! This can’t be happening.

The girl in the video was tople ss, and | had clearly seen her nape. It was clean. There's no stain, no birthmark at all. It was flawless! | was stunned as | stared at Celine.

What if she’s not really that girl in that video? 3/7 What if it was Brylee...? +25 BONUS After an hour... the rain finally started to let up, and | watched as Celine, who had been sitting in front of the fire, got up and stretched out her limbs, her slightly wet dress sticking at her chest, makingswallow and look away.

“Let's go and check outside!” she chirped as she shifted her gaze to look atin the eye. “They are supposed to be coming over here any minute now to fetch you up...

“Me?” | frowned. “What about you?” “They're more concerned about you, Sebastian. That's a fact!” | let out a deep sigh, remained seated there as | watched her make her way out of the cave. | shook my head and got up, following her out pretty quickly after a while.

Oceania City was in every sense a part of the ocean. The rain fell almost as fast as it had cdown. The initially dark sky graduall becbrighter, and before long... clear blue skies were visible in the sky above.

| didn’t pay any attention to what was going on around me; rather, | concentrated my attention on the girl in front ofwhose arms were spread wide as she walked joyfully toward the beach with the wind blowing her hair and making it sway as she went.

And it was at that very moment that | becaware that | had just witnessed Celine Lauren smile for the very first time. A genuine smile.

“It’s so beautiful...” She uttered those words as her attention was drawn upward to the sky above.

The rain helped to wash away all of the gloomy clouds in the sky.

+25 BONUS Clouds that were white and puffy were now hovering low over the horizon.

It was so lovely that it could have been a painting. But it’s not quite as lovely as this girl with me...

It tookby surprise because she appeared to be refreshed. She looked cute when she glared at me, but when she smiled, it was just completely different. She smiled in the sway that Brylee does, but Celine’s smile never fails to putat ease. It madecalm and relaxed.

Refreshing.

I think I've found the right word to describe the way she smiles.

Since | have absolutely no interest in taking a look at my surroundings anymore, | decided to make small talk.

“Is this the first tyou've ever seen the ocean?” | asked, watching her play her feet in the water. She looked like a three-year old kid who tasted a cotton candy for the very first time. And | don’t know why | enjoyed watching her.

Right. Small talk like getting to know better about your new friend, asking about her.

But wait! Celine Lauren doesn’t even consideras her friend. Then, as a mistress it is. She said she wanted to be my mistress for a week. | couldn't help but smile at the thought of what | would let her do as my lover.

Celine didn’t respond right away, and | noticed the way she arched her brows that made her appear cheerful and sparkling, yet in reality... there was a hint of melancholy in the depths of her eyes.

Now, as | watched her smile again, | wondered if this was the sCeline that | saw every tshe was with Brylee and her friends.

+25 BONUS Because right here, right now, she seemed free, unbothered, and happy.

“It’s impossible fornot to see the ocean!” she exclaimed. “My mother and | used to live on an island...” As her voice grew softer, she continued to stare at the ocean, her eyes gradually becoming watery.” | miss living in that place... | miss my mom...” her voice cracked, indicating that she'd been brought back to the days when her mother had still been alive.

“If she was terribly ill and you needed money for her treatment, why didn’t you ask your father for the money when he knew you needed it?” ‘The question | blurted out made her freeze for a moment.

After a brief pause, she eventually shrugged her shoulders and opened her mouth to answer me.

“Why are you askingthis?” she asked, instead of responding to the questions | had posed. “Why are you interested inall of a sudden?” | refrained from speaking.

| don’t even know how to respond to that.

“Ten thousand dollars is hardly any money for him...” she continued in a small voice, closing her eyes. “But when it comes toand my mom... it's a lot of money for him. It's just too hard for him to let go.

that kind of amount...” But then she snapped her eyes open and looked at me, and | caught sight of sadness crossing her expression in a blink, as if she just realized blurting those words. As if she can’t believe that she just toldabout something private regarding her personal life.

I, on the other hand... didn’t mind her rambling in front of me. It's so much more appreciated than the silent treatment she used to give me. Or when she snapped and sent a murderous gaze at me, as if | 67
