Scharline stood in front of the mirror, bathed in the dim light of the room.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvhQWkQEJX
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm5OiT8AT6
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk4OeZqNup
There was a question lingering in this moment.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JULDRz2wZ
Lately… things had been changing.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8apHSegO4x
She examined her reflection more closely.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReZnNnXgkr
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TfKceQJcZ
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhFJYKgO0H
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SQQ85BDY3
If Braun was interested in her, could she turn it into an advantage? And what about Ethan?
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRWFtSif2p
He had always been there. Yet he acted as if he never noticed.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RpsZuk4lv
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3MBV1WCdt
She turned back to her reflection.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqKSEdaclb
She was no longer the innocent girl they thought she was.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOhL2CnLhr
They looked at her and assumed they saw one person, but… another woman was awakening inside.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGHppJ6Eur
Finally, with a faint smile, she whispered to her reflection: "Maybe it’s time."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd7S0WKhGx
Breaking Point
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaNIbxe29v
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TkMzYfJKP
She inhaled slowly, her chest rising and falling.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LSQVQ9ccu
The mirror didn’t just show a reflection—it felt as though someone was watching her.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49TyjG0ywA
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76aKKD4QJt
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQadjVfFzfj
Lately, she had noticed. The way people looked at her. The way their eyes lingered on her.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzUgpvNrVh
And more importantly, the power she had over it.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUfnJXSXh2
But how should she use that power? As a tool? Or as a weapon?
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWy8ySTkOJ
She murmured to herself, without resisting the thought:
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXkp9zIRPh
"Why not?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5AR75hAgS
The idea burned like a spark in her mind.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUmwApQgqr
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8rfId0wHn
She controlled the depth in her eyes, the curve of her lips, the poise of her shoulders.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yVinCcP0g
First picture… second… third…
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCM2gJcm3B
With each shot, she studied how the light touched her skin, how it defined the contours of her body.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAy5yeb4gN
But the last one… She made it bolder.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhpVnASysl
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTRLwO4xvI
She began typing a message to Lisa.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghxF9VLo5W
🖤 "Save me a spot as a future model, Lisa."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTdbwTfwXN
She attached the photos and pressed send.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdFEpXu88w
For a few seconds, she held the phone in her hand, closing her eyes. Pressing send felt like crossing an invisible boundary.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZZDARhL1b
Just seconds later…
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfdLxvS3HX
💋 "Girl, you were born to be a star!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE34s30fpk
Lisa’s message came with a flood of laughing emojis.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz403mmYa9T
Scharline reread the message before turning off her phone.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4KoBDWTD1
She knew Lisa meant it as a joke. But the words left a question lingering in her mind.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZE5gHzZCS
Maybe Lisa was right. Maybe an entirely new path was unfolding for Scharline.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MZlxwjst5
She looked at her reflection in the mirror once more.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzv5EenaaJ
And this time, she didn’t see uncertainty… She smiled with a clear sense of determination.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82DgQ1ksCw
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEqD5ZPfs1
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODuLjWIEmP
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvwFEk8rPw
She turned on the faucet.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaTiZyBHhe
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Yim9RQ6W
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWnUHk2K0j
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1g2UXtjhe
"Good morning, did you sleep well?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphXrD4YOLV
Braun…
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TzOyBZDts
As she stared at the glowing words, conflicting thoughts surfaced.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOzWUW4HIE
Braun’s intentions were clear. He always moved like a hunter—casual, arrogant, and confident in what he wanted.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw8WEvesKf
But Scharline?
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qaAhC2jU9
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNacBnoDVe
This strange push and pull made everything feel unbalanced.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu01osKAcP
Her fingers hovered over the keyboard. Should she play along or remain indifferent?
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0klqk2vID
Finally, with the hint of a smirk, she typed:
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AAXosMlLf
"Not bad. But don’t expect me to say I was dreaming of you."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNdOTrsbSS
She pressed send, feeling as though she had both drawn him in and set a boundary.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvfZ7Q5Efo
Placing her phone down on the counter, she took another deep breath and turned back to the shower.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7LgQiJ2GO
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQNhQAO8tx
Braun’s message echoed somewhere in her mind, but she pushed it away.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQdB27sN7p
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOosdfguciR
Opening her eyes again, she barely recognized her reflection in the misty glass.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQWYemTiUl
She knew what Braun was thinking. His intentions were obvious.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQiDqMkvfp
But Scharline…
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGwUiIEDk0
She wasn’t sure where she stood in this game.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVfw73yV5a
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9ejgivES5
For now, there was no need to think.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5lsOvaSgx
For now, she just wanted to enjoy the warmth of the water.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWHeFl6bio
Beyond the Steam
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz3NNdV6O3
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg8OxiBlYo
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt31jlIpNy
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dc5UUmf94
When she opened the door, a wave of warm air spilled out of the bathroom.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedsMMLY8Tb
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJbxkCyXwn
Just as she was about to head to her room…
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wE8q5BP6h
The sound of a door opening.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkQ9SmFjkJ
She turned her head and saw Tom stepping out of his room.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NHGosij1f
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfofgh28Xb
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSfR6v6M7u
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t9acwwR0o
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztPVAJvQg5
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHmJBEWjz8
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…
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSlUAlYgFg
Was the way Tom had looked at her.
