I WAIT UNTIL ISLA DISAPPEARS upstairs to exhale a shuddering breath of frustration. I wish I could actually punch myself in the face because I’m the stupidest motherfucker that ever lived.

A kiss on the fucking forehead? What the fuck is wrong with me! I’ve never kissed my mother on the forehead, why would I do that with the woman who’s been occupying my mind ever since she set foot on post last week?

I know she’s my stepsister and I know she’s way out of my league. If she’d ever wanted to date one of us, she’d probably go for Leith. He’s an officer and I’m only an E5. He’s got that witty charm and those polished manners I never bothered with.

I guess Mom was right to be upset when I enlisted at eighteen and I didn’t wait to finish college like my brothers before following in Dad’s footsteps.

It’s not that Isla’s ever treated me like I’m beneath her. She isn’t like Connie who said more than once that enlisted soldiers are a fun fuck but that officers are better marriage material. Bigger pay checks, bigger houses. Also in her husband’s case, bigger jerks. But Connie is obviously happy in her toxic relationship and she only fucked me because she picked me up at The Cove the night I first arrived here. The rest of the company was in the field and I had no idea that she was married to one of the officers in my company. Leith had a similar experience.

I put away the leftovers of the pizza and debate with myself if I should go to bed or watch another movie.

But it wouldn’t be the same without Isla. I climb the stairs, thinking that I might as well go to bed when I hear noises coming from her room and I see a light filtering into the hallway from under her door.

I turn on my heels and decide to run to the Class Six shoppette that’s open late and grab some ice cream in the hope that she’ll still be awake when I come back.

She said rocky road is her favorite, so I beat every record for the fastest ice cream run in the entire world, driving my Jeep on the slick roads, happy that I kept it to two light beers tonight.

I’m back in the house before I know it. I run up the stairs after grabbing two spoons from a drawer in the kitchen, hoping that in the ten minutes it took me to get the ice cream, she didn’t fall asleep.

It’s not that I’m hoping for something to happen between me and my stepsister, but I can’t end the night with a fucking lame kiss on the forehead.

Literally anything is better than that.

I come to an abrupt halt in front of her door, with my fist mid-air as I prepare to knock, when a gust of cold wind filtering from an open window moves her door opening it enough that I can look inside the room.
