Loved By Mafia Stepbrother

"Ash, baby... Hey, let's get up. It's already seven in the morning." A man's deep voice woke Ashley who was still lying on her bed.

She felt someone stroking her head and lightly tapping her shoulder. The man's masculine scent entered her nose and made her smile automatically.

"Hmmm...." She stretched her body which had been stiff from lying on the bed all night.

When she opened her eyes, her stepbrother's drop-dead gorgeous face, became a beautiful treat when she first woke up. Ashley smiled at him who woke her up just now.

She firmly believed today would be a great day. From the moment she opened her eyes, they were spoiled with a breathtaking view.

"Bubba, good morning."

She got up to give him a small kiss on his cheek and he gave her a soft smile.

The man kissed his step-sister's forehead in return.

"Good morning, baby. Get ready, I'll take you to college." Ashley's eyes immediately opened wide and her smile broadened.

"Really?! Really?! Yeeaaay!! I'll get ready!!"

The beautiful seventeen-year-old girl opened her thick blanket and immediately got out of bed. Showing that she was only wearing a black tank top and the same colored panties.

Sirius stared at her alluring body and gulped.

Since when did his little step-sister have a body like a goddess? Her legs are long and slender. Plump and round buttocks, small waist, flat stomach, and don't start with her breasts seem to be getting bigger nowadays.

He wondered how it would feel if he held and squeezed her breast in his hand.

He shook his head trying to get rid of the dirty thoughts and got up from Ashley's bed.

He headed out of the room, didn't want to think of that any further.

Moreover, the girl who gave him a boner so early in the morning was his own step-sister.

"I'm waiting for you downstairs, princess! Don't be too long!" He said to Ashley, who was busy preparing herself in the bathroom.

"Okay, Bubba!"

He heard her voice yell from inside the bathroom, then immediately opened the door and walked out.

This is the Brown resident.

Rather than a house, this place was a large mansion belonging to the Brown family. But only two members of the Brown live here, Sirius and Ashley Brown.

Those two are my step-brother and sister.

Sirius's father married Ashley's mother when Sirius was twelve years old.

At that time, Ashley, who was still a baby, was two years old.

Since their first meeting, Sirius had a special feeling for Ashley. He fell in love with a beautiful baby with adorable big brown eyes.

He played, looked after, and loved Ashley with all his heart. Even he would take her wherever he went if things were possible. Make the two inseparable from the very first time.

His father was a wealthy businessman. In addition, he also had other businesses that were said to be illegal.

Sirius had an interest in his father's underground business. Developing that business, made him the most feared mafia in this country.

Unfortunately, their parents died in an accident right at the peak of their careers.

Sirius believed it wasn't just an 'accident'.

Until now, he is still collecting the evidence and information. Trying to find the culprit. He and his men already started their investigation for a long time.

He didn't trust anyone to handle his parents' case.

Even with the police.

Until then, Sirius and Ashley lived in this huge mansion along with dozens of Sirius' servants and employees.

He kept working hard to get as much money and possessions as possible. So that his beloved Ashley gets the prettiest and best things.

He won't let Ashley get into any trouble. He pampered her with all his heart.

He even expanded his territory to keep her safe.

He wanted to give the best for her.

Sirius walked down the stairs to the first floor.

Two of his men were waiting. They looked stocky and scary. But Sirius was taller and bigger than the two of them.

"To the dining room." He said it flatly.

Right. He's so cold. His attitude toward other people is so gripping and intimidating.

Sirius is the leader of the most feared mafia gang. Of course, he has a reputation as a devil. He is a cruel demon.

He can kill people as he steps on ants.

**

Meanwhile, Ashley was choosing clothes to wear...

Today, she decided to wear a short tennis high-waist skirt in green with white stripes above the knee. Combined with a white crop top shirt tucked into her skirt, it makes her slim waistline and flat stomach more visible, highlighting her growing breasts.

Don't forget her favorite brand of white sneakers.

Ashley wears light makeup. She wanted to be natural but look fresh.

After everything was done, she looked at herself in the mirror once again, when she was satisfied she took her bag and left the room.

Today she was excited. She's going to college for the first time!

After graduating from high school, she continued her study at her favorite University.

Although her step-brother, Sirius, could easily help her with the power and money he had, Ashley managed to get into college with good grades and results.

She walked down the stairs to the dining room.

Ashley was grumbling inside. This mansion is for giants!

Even she, herself, could still get lost in this mansion that she had shared with Sirius all these years.

She also had never walked through a few rooms and hallways because she was too tired to walk that far.

When the large door to the dining room was visible, Sirius's deep voice could be heard.

"Hmm... Bubba is having a guest". She muttered.

"Did you guys just report that someone stole our supplies in the northern warehouse?"

His voice was calm but very intimidating.

"How did that happen? Did you guys work blindfolded?".

Ashley slowly entered and saw two men dressed in all black standing across the long, luxurious dining table. Their heads lowered not daring to look at their boss who was now looking at them with murderous eyes.

She felt that this was not the right time to come in and disturb them.

She quietly turned around and walked slowly back the way she had entered.

She didn't want to see her meek step-brother turn cruel. It was better that she had never been in this situation.

Meanwhile, Sirius, whose anger was burning, could see her from the corner of his eye. That Ashley turned slowly and walked away on tiptoe.

He was furious at those two useless bastards. He clenched his fist to keep him from throwing the bread knife across the table.

But his adorable Ashley's behavior made him want to smile. Which of course, he endured. He maintained the cold and cruel look on his face.

"Princess, sit here." He said flatly, without looking away from the two men whose bodies were trembling.

There is no emotion in his sentence. His flat tone made the beautiful girl who was now starting to reach the door, jump in shock and immediately walk to the dining table in a hurry.

She sat down next to Sirius.

Although his handsome face was cold and cruel, she believed that he was not mad at her.

She wanted to leave simply because she didn't want to interfere with Sirius' work. But it seemed like he was not bothered at all.

So, Ashley sat and smiled happily.

A maid immediately served their breakfast. Toast and milk for Miss Ashley and Master Sirius, toast, and a cup of black coffee.

She saw the meal in front of her and her eyebrows arched sadly and her lips pursed.

"Hmph!... I don't want toast for breakfast. I'll get fat. I just want fruit." She was whining like a spoiled girl.

Sirius saw this with a cold gaze and the maids ran to prepare fruit for Miss Ashley.

"Y-yes Miss. We'll get some fruit for you soon." They were already breaking out in cold sweat.

If Miss Ashley is sad or angry because of their unsatisfactory work, then their lives will end in the hands of Master Sirius.

"Wait for your fruit, baby," Sirius said it softly while looking at her face which he always thought was adorable.

Ashley immediately blushed and blinked her eyes to say thank you in a cute way.

One of Sirius' men couldn't help but raise his head slightly. Was that really their boss' voice?

Impossible. He had never heard Mr. Sirius Brown speak so tenderly to anyone.

He saw a divine girl, sitting very close to his ruthless boss, eating a fruit from the devil's hand.

His eyes almost popped out at the scene. Since when did their leader have such gentle behavior?

And who is this girl? Is she Ashley Brown? His sister? Miss Brown is indeed famous for her beauty.

Just look at her big boobs and slender hips.

He had been working for Mr. Brown for a year. He had never seen the young Miss who was famous for her beauty.

He couldn't take his eyes off of her who was busy chewing her food.

This was of course seen directly by Sirius's murderous gaze.

"Baby, what's your schedule for today?" Sirius asked Ashley who immediately checked her cell phone.

"Hmm... Let's see." She answered, busy on her cell phone.

At that moment, Sirius threw a bread knife across the table in a flash. It stabbed into the man's stomach and he fell to the floor and groaned.

A surprised Ashley turned to look at what happened but was stopped by Sirius's large palm beside her face, blocking the girl's view.

"Eat, baby." He ordered. She looked at him in confusion.

"Take a look at your schedule for today, princess." His tone was flat, and his face also not showing any emotion.

Ashley knew he was angry, but not at her. She nodded obediently and looked at her phone again. Sirius stroked her hair gently.

"Get out. We're not done yet." Sirius glared at them from across the table.

The man who was still standing with his head lowered, immediately took his injured friend away from there in a hurry.

They're finished. Even if they ran away, they would not survive the wrath of Master Sirius Brown.

Sirius Brown never let a person who stares at Ashley in lust, live.

He exited the mansion supporting his companions, heading towards their death pit.

Meanwhile, Ashley and Sirius, who had finished their breakfast, walked along the hallway to a huge indoor parking lot where his expensive and luxury cars in display.

Bubba, what's going on earlier?" She asked, still curious.

"There's a small problem with the business I'm working on, baby." He answered.

They walked hand in hand, Ashley took his big one and swung it gently with hers.

"Is it okay if you drop me off today? If Bubba is busy I can go myself. The driver can take me there as usual."

"It's okay Princess. I want to be with you before I leave for the next few days." Sirius answered and Ashley nodded in understanding.

"Bubba! Don't be away for too long. I'll miss you badly and won't be able to sleep." Ashley pressed herself tightly against him.

Her position made her soft bosom pressed tight against his hand.

He clenched his fist and refrained himself from doing anything that would surprise Ashley.

He looked down and saw an incredibly exciting sight.

Ashley looked up at him pleadingly, her pretty face blushed in pink, her big soft boobs that pressed against Sirius's hand looked like they would pop out any second. He could feel his sweat almost dripping from his effort not to grab those soft, creamy, white, delicious bosoms.

Sirius licked his lips and swallowed his saliva.

Shit! He didn't know what to do with this innocent girl.

"Ash, baby..." Sirius tried to look into her beautiful eyes rather than her big, soft, perfect breasts.

"You know I have to go to work. It's also an emergency. I'll be right back when I'm done." He answered.

"Hmm... Alright." Ashley hugged him and rested her head on his firm, broad chest.

Sirius hugged her small body compared to him, while gently stroking her back.

Ashley loved this warm feeling. She feels safe and loved.

Sirius is always by her side, in her best and worst. Her ruthless mafia step-brother was the most important and dearest person to her in this entire world.

After they arrived at her campus, Sirius kissed her forehead affectionately and told her the driver and bodyguards he ordered were always standing by.

Ashley got out of the car and stared at the line of cars that drove her, went away until they disappeared from the University gates.

She steadily stepped on her new favorite place. This is a famous University in this city. She was excited to learn and compete for a better feature.

She walked along the hallway full of new faces and smiled at her when a voice called out to her.

She turned around. It's Jean. Her best friend was in high school. They walked together to their first class.

**

"So, you think you like your step-brother more than before?" Jean asked in a low whisper. They were currently having lunch in the large, terraced campus cafeteria.

Eager to get a closer look at the gardens and fountains, Ashley suggested they had their lunch on the first floor.

"Yeah. I think so. I always blush every time I see Bubba. I love him because Bubba is the one who's always there for me. He is the only family I have left. He also really cares and loves me no matter what my situation is. Also... He's a perfect 10." Ashley covered her face while shaking her head vigorously.

She remembered every time her handsome step-brother woke her up or the big burly body he showed every time he finished taking a shower and was only wrapped in a towel around his waist.

Oh! Ashley grew even more embarrassed when she remembered getting there. She didn't understand her mind.

Since when did she start thinking about her Bubba like that?

"Eeh... Ash, you need to stop. Your head can come off if you keep going like that." Jean held back her best friend's head which kept shaking because Ashley couldn't stop thinking about her overly sexy brother.

She was sure at this moment, her face must be red like a boiled shrimp.

"Oh my gosh, you're really in love huh? Your face is so red." Jean laughed so loudly that it attracted the attention of those around them for a moment.

"Shh... Stop it, Jean! I'm embarrassed! But yeah, what about it? Am I wrong? Bubba is my step-brother though."Her face was suddenly gloomy.

"You guys are step-brother and sister aren't you?" Asked Jean to which Ashley nodded.

"That means there's nothing wrong. None is a bit wrong. You're not siblings or have any blood ties at all. So that's fine." She answered, giving a thumbs up which made Ashley smile in relief.

"That's true, but what if Bubba doesn't feel the same way that I do?" Ashley was sad again. She was afraid that if she clearly showed her feelings, Sirius would feel uncomfortable and walk away from her.

"How about you finding it out?" Jean suggested.

"How exactly?" Ashley tilted her head, making her look cute.

"Ask directly?" Jean smiled widely when she saw her friend's surprised expression.

"Impossible!" Ashley whispered, half screaming.

"I don't want to! That's embarrassing! And if Bubba doesn't feel the same, he'll think I'm weird and annoying and stay away from me!" Ashley shook her head. Trying to get rid of the scene where Sirius feels irritated with her presence.

"Hehe, sorry I just wanted to see your reaction." Jean scratched the back of her head.

"What if you act even more spoiled than usual? If he accepts it and even responds happily. He likely likes you too. If he doesn't respond or has a strange expression on his face, it means he only has feelings as a brother to you." Jean said obviously.

Ashley nodded at her suggestion and planned to do so when Sirius came home.

"By the way, I wonder why you still call him Bubba, when his name is Sirius," Jean asked.

"Didn't I ever tell you?" Jean replied shaking her head.

"When I was a little, I couldn't say "brother" so I used to say "Bubba". Until it became kinda habit, I guessed." She smiled, remembering that Sirius also called her 'baby' or 'princess'.

"Ohhh .. your tongue was short when you were little." Jean's responded to that explanation.

The two of them giggled and continued their conversation.

Not too far from their table, a few of Ashley's bodyguards dressed like normal college students were also sitting and having their lunch.

They disguised themselves as students, so as not to make Ashley uncomfortable and also not to attract the attention of others.

Meanwhile, the two clueless girls attracted the attention of a group of male students who were sitting at a table in the corner of the room.

They talk about how beautiful and sexy the girl with long black hair, Ashley.

They even talk indecently commenting on Ashley's body which is indeed perfect. Her skin is white and smooth. They lusted over her like a beast.

Meanwhile, Ashley didn't notice the mischievous stares on her.

Until she was home, she was still thinking about her brother. Did Sirius like her too? Or maybe he already has a girlfriend out there?

Her step-brother is very handsome. There is no way with such a perfect face and body, he is still single. She thought sadly.

Meanwhile, Sirius is currently in the process of interrogating his employees who guard his warehouse of illegal firearms.

He lost fourteen new weapons that he had just finished crafting.

His anger was running high and everyone was standing with their heads down and their bodies shaking.

A man lay on the ground covered in blood, with a shattered face and broken hands. Even then his eyeballs were out of place.

He was the man who had been staring at Ashley this morning with perverted eyes, which made Sirius angrier, and took it out on the spot.

"Well, at least you're smart when you don't run away. So your death could be quick and easy. I'm just adding some spice because you've been presumptuous of looking at my baby with those disgusting eyes of yours." Sirius said expressionlessly as he stared at the man's corpse.

"All of you. Take him as an example of crossing the line. Sirius look around carefully.

Right now, thirty people guard and work in the armory, plus, the rest of the fifty are his other men, whom he brought specifically to execute traitors who disguise themselves around them.

They just stood still and didn't dare to move. Ah. That's right, who wants to seek death by attracting the attention of an angry beast?

Suddenly there were gunshots and his men yelled from outside. Get them all on alert.

Several guards directly protected their boss, Sirius, who gave the code for all of them to take their positions and stand guard.

They are attacked.

Less than an hour later, Sirius and his group managed to subdue the attacker.

They are a gang of robbers who are still amateurs and ignorant. They were the ones who stole the guns a few nights ago.

It was their recklessness and stupidity that made them all die tonight.

Sirius was cleaning his gun and was sitting on the table wiping it.

"Clean up this filth. Don't let them stain my territory." Sirius ordered his men to dispose of the bodies and remains of the robbers, as well as two of his men who betrayed him.

Of course he knew who the traitor was among them. There was no way such an amateur and weak robber could steal from him if no one helped them.

Sirius's phone vibrated in his pocket and he took a deep breath. Who dared to call him at a time like this?

If there is nothing urgent from his men then there is only one person who can contact him freely at this time.

That's right, the call was from his beloved Ashley. He immediately picked it up. Ashley never called this late, unless it was really important.

"Baby? What's wrong?" Sirius answered the phone with a flat tone and his handsome face without any expression.

He didn't hear a single answer, instead, he heard her sobs.

"Baby? What's wrong, princess?" Sirius was now standing straight, even though his tone and face didn't show any expression. In his heart, he was very worried.

"Bub-Bubba..." Ashley cried. Sirius felt like his chest tightened until it hurt. It happened when he heard her cry.

He didn't like his Ashley who was cheerful and full of the light of his happiness to be sad and in tears.

"Yes, baby girl. What's wrong? Any problem? Are you there alone?" Sirius started walking out of the barn and toward his car. His expression didn't change, his tone softened slightly.

He gestured the driver who was waiting for them, to return to the mansion.

Ashley's next answer stunned him.

"Bubba... Do you dislike me? That you love and marry someone else?"

I stood among the crowd in this high and luxurious church building. Everyone, including me, was waiting for the bride to come.

Yeah, I don't know where this is. To be sure, this was a church full of well-dressed people. I know that now there will be a wedding ceremony because the decoration of this church building is very beautiful and filled with flowers.

Roses, my favorite. Various colors of roses that bloom beautifully adorn the building and its seats.

I tried to look at the altar. Where a priest and the bridegroom stand.

I tried to see the face of the groom but I couldn't.

For some reason his face looked blurry, not clear. I saw that this man was big and tall, his body was stout. His shiny black suit couldn't hide the muscles on his body. His body gestures and the way he stood reminded me of someone.

When the bell chime signaling the bride to enter, the crowd of people who had been muttering and talking to each other now fell silent and watched the large church entrance.

I also immediately looked towards the door. I wonder, whose wedding is this? Since when am I here? Why don't I remember being invited to events like this?

A magnificent and luxurious wedding like this is not held by someone careless and poor. It is a grand wedding that must belong to a wealthy family.

Then, a bride in a white dress and a veil covering her face entered and slowly walked towards the altar. Her steps are very graceful.

Even though I couldn't see her face, I knew she must be very beautiful. Her curves look very fitting in the dress adding to the feminine impression. The mermaid-shaped dress made her tiny body even more revealing her beautiful curves.

Big chest, small waist, and plump buttocks. Wow, I thought. Her body has every woman's body goals! I also want to have a body like that.

The woman walked very gracefully. I could feel her smiling at her husband-to-be who was waiting at the altar.

Red rose petals fell from the church ceiling. Make this scene like a scene in a romantic movie. I smiled seeing it, a wedding like this is my dream wedding.

Not long after, I saw the bride extending her hand to the groom who was waiting for her with a smile.

Wait, I can see the groom's face now. That handsome face. Thick and neat black eyebrows. A sharp nose, sharp and firm jaw, black and sharp eyes. His handsome face that I will always remember.

Face that I always look forward to.

Bubba?

Why was Bubba at the altar? Bubba the one who is married today? With who?

I saw his smile widen, as warm as the one Bubba used to show me.

He kissed the hand of the woman who was his bride and wrapped his big hand around her small waist sweetly. Help her up to the altar.

I can't hold back the tears. Oh, so this is the answer to all my questions so far?

I cried seeing this scene in front of me.

Marriage should be a place where people are happy. But I actually cried sadly at this wedding. I could hear the priest continuing the sacred wedding ceremony.

I can't take it. Bubba is mine. I love and cherish him with all my heart and with everything I have.

I can't live without Bubba. If he married someone else? What about me? What will happen to me? Does he not like me a little bit?

"Do you, Sirius Brown, accept this woman and cherish her as your wife?" asked the priest. "Yes, of course, I do." Bubba's voice was loud.

No. No. It can't be happening!

"No!" I shouted. I felt myself sobbing. My eyes and cheeks are wet. When I opened my eyes, I found out that I was lying in my room.

Turned out it was just a dream. Ashley sighed in relief, though she was still sobbing.

She sat down and smoothed her hair. Her face was wet with tears. Huh. A very unpleasant dream. Why dream of Bubba getting married? Was she that worried?

People say dreams are a sign that something will happen. Does that mean Bubba will marry someone else? Then what about her? She loved Sirius very much.

She couldn't bear to imagine that her stepbrother would marry someone else.

Ashley couldn't take it anymore. She had to ask now. If her brother answered that he only saw her as a sister and nothing more, Ashley had better keep her feelings hidden and leave immediately.

She didn't want to be left alone. She'd better be the one who left and mind her own business.

That was the call Sirius received.

Ashley stammered because she had been crying, and asked her brother who immediately panicked when he heard her cry.

"Princess, did you wake up from a bad dream?" Sirius asked. Now he was in his car that was driving fast towards the mansion.

"Bubba hasn't answered my question yet!" Ashley hiccups.

"Princess, my dear. I'll answer that when I'm there. Now I want you to go back to sleep, okay? It will take me at least 2 hours to reach the mansion. So be a good girl for Bubba, okay baby?" Ashley nodded even though Sirius couldn't see her now.

"Can I sleep in Bubba's room? She asked, acting as spoiled as usual. Ashley doesn't want to sleep in her room right now. She wants a place where she can smell Sirius' scent to calm her down.

"Sure baby, sleep in my room whenever you want." Ashley was stunned by the answer.

She can sleep in Bubba's room? Yes! After hanging up the phone she immediately ran to Sirius's room.

Two hours later, three groups of black cars pulled into the mansion grounds.

Sirius was the first to come out. Even before the driver opened the door for him. He wanted to immediately see Ashley and ask the meaning of her question on the phone earlier.

In his room, He felt a sense of nervousness. For the first time. He is restless with harmless things.

Sirius slowly opened the bedroom door. He didn't want to wake Ashley up suddenly.

When he entered the room he could see his little sister lying on the bed. She looked so small and frail on his big bed and the thick blanket covering her.

Sirius let out a sigh of relief to see that his baby was okay.

He sat on the edge of the bed, next to Ashley, who was fast asleep. He lowered his head to look at the face of this beautiful sleeping girl.

Sirius didn't understand. How can there be a beautiful and cute girl at the same time?

He had seen many to be said, beautiful women. Their makeup was so thick and everything about them was fake, it made him sick.

But Ashley? She wasn't even wearing any makeup at the moment, and she was far more beautiful than anyone he'd ever met in his life.

Not to mention her adorable face, sometimes Sirius couldn't help but caress or pinch those springy cheeks.

The sharp, small nose and red lips made Sirius wonder what it would be like if he kissed just a little of it. It must be sweet, he thought.

Ashley's lashes are very long and curly adding to her feminine look. He loved it when Ashley gave him a spoiled wink. Her eyelashes seemed to be waving too, making her look even cuter.

Sirius's eyes suddenly dropped down her neck to her breasts. Shit! She was currently sleeping on her back. He could freely see the view of her upper body.

Ashley only uses a black crop top with thin straps, showing her beautiful shoulders, and big breasts, and wow, that thing looks supple from the outside.

Ashley's crop top is very thin and see-through. He could see her boobs and pink cherries on them.

Sirius gulped at the sight. her flat, smooth white stomach is no less eye-catching. His hands were itching to touch the surface of the skin.

"Bubba?" Ashley's small, hoarse voice nearly choked Sirius. But he managed to keep his expression flat.

"Baby? How are you?" Sirius immediately turned his full attention to those two beautiful brown eyes.

Ashley's tears fell again. Huh. She's been very emotional lately. What's wrong with her?

Sirius immediately grabbed and hugged her.

"Relax, baby girl. It was just a nightmare. It's not going to happen." Sirius stroked her shoulder. Pressing Ashley's body against him, made those big, supple breasts stick together and made Sirius feel very comfortable.

He could feel something very hard, sticking out, trying to get out of his pants, as the reaction to their position.

"Does Bubba know what I'm dreaming of?" Ashley asked with a frown.

She let go of the hug. Made Sirius lose that soft and springy feeling in an instant.

"Hm.No. What are you dreaming of, baby?" Sirius asked as he cupped his large, rough palm against Ashley's supple and soft cheek. It felt like Sirius wanted to bite those springy cheeks.

"Bubba... I dreamed that Bubba married someone else. I was so sad. Is Bubba going to leave me?" Ashley squeezed the shirt Sirius was wearing with her small hands.

Oh, so my little girl is afraid of losing me? Sirius cracked a smile. He tried to remain expressionless in response to his sister.

"I won't. I won't leave you even if I have to get married." Sirius answered firmly.

Ashley looked at him with tears in her eyes. "So Bubba is really going to marry another woman?" Hiks. She started crying again. Her tears are now spilled down to her cheeks.

"Does Bubba have a girlfriend? Does Bubba really love her? Doesn't Bubba like me?" She asked carelessly. Now Ashley's heart felt like it was being torn apart.

Sirius finally couldn't help but smile. He took a deep breath. He couldn't tease this fragile girl for long. Tsk, he did spoil her too much.

"You stupid girl. Who said I would marry someone else? Who said I loved someone else?" Sirius pinched Ashley's nose, which was already red.

Ashley was still sobbing but had stopped crying. She heard her brother say that made her confused.

"I've never liked anyone but the girl I'm hugging right now," Sirius said firmly with a soft expression.

Ashley's eyes widened as she processed the sentence.

"R-really? Is Bubba serious?" Ashley now felt the glimmer of hope that had been lost was shining again.

"Of course. Have you ever seen me with other women? Close to other people?" Ashley immediately shook her head.

"Yeah, that's right. Never. Because I don't like being around girls who aren't you." Sirius's answer was the pinnacle of Ashley's happiness.

She screamed in delight as she hugged her brother.

"Me too! I like you, Bubba! I like Bubba not only as my brother... But that..." Ashley let go of herself shyly. She lowered her head not daring to look Sirius in the eyes.

"But what? Feelings like for a lover?" Sirius asked.

Ashley nodded slowly. That's embarrassing. But she didn't have time to think about that, the important thing was that her feelings were conveyed.

"This little baby. Already understand about love apparently." Sirius stroked the side of Ashley's face giving her goosebumps, then lifted her chin to look at him.

"Princess, if you think of me as a lover of yours. Then you have to know the consequences. You know what that is?"

Sirius gave a big, meaningful smile...

....and a trap that would imprison Ashley forever.
