Scharline stood in front of the mirror, bathed in the dim light of the room.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ6wr2xKZt
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBuOcUYQVT
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESIrYSeWUG
There was a question lingering in this moment.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlns7YTNFgh
Lately… things had been changing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkTM4WoIyQ
She examined her reflection more closely.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR0BRfyTFa
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."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35s8STZ1lm
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53uhEkdQnd
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt7rKtcbmb
If Braun was interested in her, could she turn it into an advantage? And what about Ethan?
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsmGxRum7p
He had always been there. Yet he acted as if he never noticed.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR71iIbZgvg
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNe79zuvHE
She turned back to her reflection.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEoM2HhmLL
She was no longer the innocent girl they thought she was.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpbRABP3T7
They looked at her and assumed they saw one person, but… another woman was awakening inside.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkZdCMIzbT
Finally, with a faint smile, she whispered to her reflection: "Maybe it’s time."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNhXgiTC52
Breaking Point
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG8KDNCMaT
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglpm07BMvU
She inhaled slowly, her chest rising and falling.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bu01dh9Lc
The mirror didn’t just show a reflection—it felt as though someone was watching her.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtqpwLkIht
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb5TjfTnzv
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMuGp2zi9f
Lately, she had noticed. The way people looked at her. The way their eyes lingered on her.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagApoOfkeM
And more importantly, the power she had over it.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD9V8qL6tu
But how should she use that power? As a tool? Or as a weapon?
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStpVHX9P5A
She murmured to herself, without resisting the thought:
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMynGGunSvy
"Why not?"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxMfV8oIVr
The idea burned like a spark in her mind.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSIIqwGsMQ
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbHXtp0ywc
She controlled the depth in her eyes, the curve of her lips, the poise of her shoulders.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3hLgxvuif
First picture… second… third…
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuaP8ku7GH
With each shot, she studied how the light touched her skin, how it defined the contours of her body.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVJSrpSwDL
But the last one… She made it bolder.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFFJ07T885
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxsNkdLSrM
She began typing a message to Lisa.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4ZjqUbWAs
🖤 "Save me a spot as a future model, Lisa."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArNvGVJRXz
She attached the photos and pressed send.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lbdCYLpbN
For a few seconds, she held the phone in her hand, closing her eyes. Pressing send felt like crossing an invisible boundary.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12SdCZAEsb
Just seconds later…
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsJJOehoyU
💋 "Girl, you were born to be a star!"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcvHdgMj4D
Lisa’s message came with a flood of laughing emojis.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yRqm3kSZr
Scharline reread the message before turning off her phone.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3YlIEXCF3
She knew Lisa meant it as a joke. But the words left a question lingering in her mind.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIve0Vb75JK
Maybe Lisa was right. Maybe an entirely new path was unfolding for Scharline.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVOtgCY1cq
She looked at her reflection in the mirror once more.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYtAZoTgVS
And this time, she didn’t see uncertainty… She smiled with a clear sense of determination.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNz2ufQfT0
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLs7lkwM7p
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayYadGp2X3
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbaJ689BFH
She turned on the faucet.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiyHt87HeE
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRLVwxGmm7
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJYycGwhM4
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXYRi0khsn
"Good morning, did you sleep well?"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVcj8XjVwp
Braun…
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgbSgAmDUn
As she stared at the glowing words, conflicting thoughts surfaced.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAQw7l7pVo
Braun’s intentions were clear. He always moved like a hunter—casual, arrogant, and confident in what he wanted.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq8KBTnR26
But Scharline?
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa1DmmPtjq
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgc0Q4ZRQS
This strange push and pull made everything feel unbalanced.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLwjf9GbSJ
Her fingers hovered over the keyboard. Should she play along or remain indifferent?
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRh4yEvZfc
Finally, with the hint of a smirk, she typed:
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ370W0Wjjlx
"Not bad. But don’t expect me to say I was dreaming of you."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbYgDxFNQb
She pressed send, feeling as though she had both drawn him in and set a boundary.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3ygwov3xr
Placing her phone down on the counter, she took another deep breath and turned back to the shower.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZGhsYleO8
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE0kQ64QA7
Braun’s message echoed somewhere in her mind, but she pushed it away.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq2B0jk4UH
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFGCGbHYEu
Opening her eyes again, she barely recognized her reflection in the misty glass.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8OcaGJbJP
She knew what Braun was thinking. His intentions were obvious.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlRxPwbgn9
But Scharline…
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFGVfnF4ly
She wasn’t sure where she stood in this game.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL15AGeG2dp
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKn5qkbvZq
For now, there was no need to think.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRYPxLMJRX
For now, she just wanted to enjoy the warmth of the water.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CEU41E5Bn
Beyond the Steam
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUdyijvgHw
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqMDFBp8LV
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCv6Slh7Jv
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBf3fG9FSl
When she opened the door, a wave of warm air spilled out of the bathroom.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nVxa0EDJZ
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomFwNbXy1o
Just as she was about to head to her room…
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bQNwDlgLv
The sound of a door opening.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscWQxZd0PS
She turned her head and saw Tom stepping out of his room.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex908HBBZL
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYthoWpmUX
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiyaCBqtSk
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNVBMPNHat
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYLDsHmhyU
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshqi3pieeI
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…
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTy82VHIYE
Was the way Tom had looked at her.
