Scharline stood in front of the mirror, bathed in the dim light of the room.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXoskDAIf0
She was wearing a gray, cropped tank top—its loose fabric barely clinging to her shoulders, brushing lightly against her skin. The material hugged her body just enough to hint at her shape, revealing more than it concealed. Her red-and-white checkered pajama bottoms had slipped slightly below her waist, the elastic band resting lower, accentuating the curve of her hips and the slender line of her waist. Every contour of her body moved with a natural, soft harmony.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCWtM2WIzJ
As she raised her hands above her head and gently clasped her wrists, the elegant and supple lines of her figure became even more pronounced. When her shoulders stretched, faint shadows of her muscles surfaced beneath her skin in delicate traces. A few strands of blonde hair cascaded down the side of her neck, highlighting the sharp angles of her face. Her lips were slightly parted, her gaze fixed directly on the mirror.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuhv1ddpRu
There was a question lingering in this moment.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknXgFaITi8
Lately… things had been changing.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94OzjeriJc
She examined her reflection more closely.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBuZCNFrXT
Lisa’s words from that night still echoed in her mind: "If you don’t know how to use your mind, at least learn how to use your body."
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszvtREvbkf
Those words felt like a challenge. She wasn’t sure whether to believe in herself or in what others told her. But the uncertainty within her had already begun unraveling.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29kfYiujQZ
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7PsKFxWHz
If Braun was interested in her, could she turn it into an advantage? And what about Ethan?
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn9c43m4pE
He had always been there. Yet he acted as if he never noticed.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Il6eG4Bkq
Scharline took a deep breath, lowering her hands to her waist with deliberate slowness. Her fingers traced the elastic band of her pajama bottoms, pulling it up slightly before letting it go. It wasn’t just a movement—it was the outward expression of a thought, testing how far she was willing to go.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFdVrLViQ0
She turned back to her reflection.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEAH6JUjy7
She was no longer the innocent girl they thought she was.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DjskaXDDb
They looked at her and assumed they saw one person, but… another woman was awakening inside.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gF0u1sKur
Finally, with a faint smile, she whispered to her reflection: "Maybe it’s time."
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8WO9t7Jd9
Breaking Point
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7vJFvDPEK
Scharline remained still in front of the mirror. Her expression was unreadable—neither satisfaction nor hesitation… just an unshaped, undefined feeling stirring within her. A challenge, the strange thrill of self-discovery, and perhaps the seductive confidence that came with taking control.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qpEssqVIr
She inhaled slowly, her chest rising and falling.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4EujpCUlA
The mirror didn’t just show a reflection—it felt as though someone was watching her.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9QIZN4zS1
Raising a hand, she ran her long fingers through her hair, sliding from the roots down to the silky strands that framed her neck. She paused there, feeling the warmth of her skin against her fingertips. Her awareness of her body was sharper than usual.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUnhrqWmiJ
She studied her reflection more intently. The curves, the posture of her body, the slight slope of her shoulders, the narrowness of her waist… It felt as though she was looking at herself from a distance.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYfFEPJSUc
Lately, she had noticed. The way people looked at her. The way their eyes lingered on her.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAIs6vTKPE
And more importantly, the power she had over it.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25xFlpvRpJ
But how should she use that power? As a tool? Or as a weapon?
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Vr7HloFy
She murmured to herself, without resisting the thought:
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ3FVH6Go1
"Why not?"
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0zyrVUQD4
The idea burned like a spark in her mind.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWPWz063Bf
Without a second of hesitation, Scharline reached for her phone. Her fingers glided across the screen, opening the camera. She scanned her reflection through the lens, adjusting her expression—more alluring, more inviting.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYajvdrV0L6
She controlled the depth in her eyes, the curve of her lips, the poise of her shoulders.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpmRoQN9cw
First picture… second… third…
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQvyMLsPES
With each shot, she studied how the light touched her skin, how it defined the contours of her body.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH1H3aq140
But the last one… She made it bolder.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz85Mqw5BR
Taking a deep breath, she looked at the screen. For a moment, she hesitated. But something inside her urged her to take it one step further.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz83016Jmw
She began typing a message to Lisa.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHySbDmdDp
🖤 "Save me a spot as a future model, Lisa."
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRBexJ1zUl
She attached the photos and pressed send.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXmxc82XJH
For a few seconds, she held the phone in her hand, closing her eyes. Pressing send felt like crossing an invisible boundary.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoUeBVSIsG
Just seconds later…
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vMrWw8KvU
💋 "Girl, you were born to be a star!"
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GQShZzgE4
Lisa’s message came with a flood of laughing emojis.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0RMNaDOqH
Scharline reread the message before turning off her phone.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd8M2LGppj
She knew Lisa meant it as a joke. But the words left a question lingering in her mind.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPhPzXpjMN
Maybe Lisa was right. Maybe an entirely new path was unfolding for Scharline.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1XWAb8zhL
She looked at her reflection in the mirror once more.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrvSljDUOn
And this time, she didn’t see uncertainty… She smiled with a clear sense of determination.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47LSwtcm9Z
As a faint smile played on her lips, her fingers reached for the hem of her gray tank top. The fabric lifted in a slow, delicate motion, slipping over her head and onto the floor. Her half-loosened pajama bottoms clung loosely to her hips. As she raised her arms again, the dim light cast shadows over her toned muscles.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDitFuwnk7o
She paused. Her skin was still warm from the heat gathered in her room overnight. But now… she knew all those thoughts would wash away under the water.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3VoBtNQuH
Taking a deep breath, she stepped out of the room, her bare feet meeting the cold floor, sending a shiver through her body. She moved towards the bathroom, a strange sense of calm settling inside her. She pushed the door open, stepping into the soft contrast between the cold tiles and the misty warmth of the shower glass.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkJgmmF2T7
She turned on the faucet.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaf3Q5aCsd
As the first drops hit the ceramic surface, her fingers undid the thin straps, letting her pajamas slide to the floor. She stepped into the shower, the warmth of the water touching her toes before enveloping her in a soothing embrace.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipWTD8xZKs
She tilted her head back, closing her eyes as the water caressed every inch of her skin. Her wet hair clung to her back as her mind emptied for a brief moment.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstuCT7rnfX
Wrapped in steam, she picked up her phone, its bright screen reflecting in her eyes. Her fingertips were still wet, droplets trailing down as she touched the screen. The phone was slippery in her damp hands, but the message holding her attention was Braun’s.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAhX7sHDvn
"Good morning, did you sleep well?"
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDEby4szSl
Braun…
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr0nYWjIdu
As she stared at the glowing words, conflicting thoughts surfaced.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMJnn1rFYj
Braun’s intentions were clear. He always moved like a hunter—casual, arrogant, and confident in what he wanted.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVc0KIQgKP
But Scharline?
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtlxga6bLh
For her, Braun was something uncertain. One moment, he intrigued her. The next, he repelled her. Some days, she enjoyed the way his gaze lingered on her. Other days, she despised seeing through his games.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlJRrOaYei
This strange push and pull made everything feel unbalanced.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXqWIB3QK9
Her fingers hovered over the keyboard. Should she play along or remain indifferent?
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxuRLtvht5
Finally, with the hint of a smirk, she typed:
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbninX1krnn
"Not bad. But don’t expect me to say I was dreaming of you."
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOc4SUZ5Ze
She pressed send, feeling as though she had both drawn him in and set a boundary.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOC2GyfPUS
Placing her phone down on the counter, she took another deep breath and turned back to the shower.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl2qpuk4G6
The water was still running, steam wrapping around the bathroom. She stepped forward, the warmth of the tiles seeping into her feet. As the hot drops cascaded over her shoulders, she tilted her head back and closed her eyes.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdA1KMNZPC
Braun’s message echoed somewhere in her mind, but she pushed it away.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQnCM4SlzE
Soap slipped through her fingers as she ran her hands along her arms, then over her shoulders. With the warm water heightening her senses, every drop melted tension from her muscles.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBvcUGsRqd
Opening her eyes again, she barely recognized her reflection in the misty glass.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLLFJSXvoA
She knew what Braun was thinking. His intentions were obvious.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTcbSI20X6
But Scharline…
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2ziQ2U1HF
She wasn’t sure where she stood in this game.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8PAqruXAe
Running her fingers through her wet hair, she took another deep breath as the water cascaded down her neck and shoulders like a delicate veil.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGRNmPmbd0
For now, there was no need to think.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6eP3vZLt8
For now, she just wanted to enjoy the warmth of the water.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxtW5vaiG6
Beyond the Steam
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjfMqxzsC9
After spending several minutes under the warm water, Scharline reached for the faucet and turned it off. Dense steam filled the bathroom, completely fogging up the mirrors. She took a deep breath and wiped away the condensation with her hand, but her reflection still appeared hazy.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhGlbnwSh6
Slowly, she picked up her robe and wrapped it around her body. The fabric clung to her damp skin, still warm from the shower. The soft, loose texture of the white robe hugged her moist body, its upper part slightly open and the ties loosely knotted, leaving the tops of her breasts and her neck delicately exposed. Strands of her wet hair draped over her shoulders. A few droplets of water trickled down from her neck, disappearing into the hollow of her chest.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt0EkIRURN
She didn’t tie the belt tightly. Leaving the robe slightly loose, she noticed how it barely concealed her figure—but she didn’t care. Her body was still relaxed from the heat, her mind pleasantly foggy.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9AuybDDJ0
When she opened the door, a wave of warm air spilled out of the bathroom.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIs15esWpF
The cool air of the hallway hit her skin instantly, sending a shiver down her spine. The soles of her feet tingled against the chilly floor.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVGFSjBcvE
Just as she was about to head to her room…
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HzWY0yjVu
The sound of a door opening.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZKDvdqEvb
She turned her head and saw Tom stepping out of his room.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp1K6y9617
Tom emerged from his room wearing only a pair of boxers, his erection evident beneath the fabric, pressing against it noticeably. He looked like he had just woken up—his hair tousled, his expression groggy as he shuffled toward the bathroom. In the dim lighting of the hallway, his lean, toned muscles stood out sharply, a testament to his transformation from boyhood to manhood over the years.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKfATw35ny
When he saw Scharline, he froze for a moment. His eyes lingered on her for a few seconds, taking her in. Her loosely tied robe, its upper part slightly parted, the damp strands of hair clinging to her skin… His sister Scharline’s provocative beauty, even if unintentional, intensified his arousal, making his erection more pronounced beneath the boxers. It was an involuntary reaction, a pull he couldn’t control as his gaze traced her form.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3NNJaxf6j
Scharline, however, seemed oddly at ease during those moments. Even if she noticed Tom’s evident arousal, she acted as though she hadn’t, maintaining an air of calm indifference. With a serene smile, she said, "Good morning. Are you taking a shower?" Her voice was natural and casual, as if this were just an ordinary morning encounter in the hallway.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsNp00cr7v
Tom swallowed hard, caught off guard. "Yeah… Good morning," he replied, his voice slightly shaky. He forced his eyes away from her, glancing down at the floor, though his mind remained fixated on her skin and the exquisite details of her chest visible beneath the robe. "I’m… heading to the shower," he added quickly, eager to end the brief exchange. He turned and stepped into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLEDQeyNRQ
Scharline continued toward her room without looking back, her expression still calm and composed. Tom, now alone in the bathroom, paused for a moment. He slipped off his boxers, letting them fall to the floor, and glanced down at his hardened erection. His fingers brushed against it, then began to stroke slowly. Closing his eyes, he pictured Scharline—her skin beneath the loosely tied robe, the delicate contours of her breasts. His breathing quickened as he lost himself in the fantasy, torn between guilt and desire.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuOkx6UpjP
Scharline, back in her room, closed the door and faced the mirror. Her robe remained loose, droplets of water still clinging to her skin. But the only thing on her mind…
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbZEhjwnaY
Was the way Tom had looked at her.
