Noah~

I was so stunned at his statement and I wanted nothing but to kiss him right there but now was not the time. The room still carried the weight of everything that had just been said when Theo’s father turned fully toward us. His eyes moved from our joined hands to our faces with the same cold assessment he had used earlier, only now the mask had slipped enough to show the disgust underneath.

“Look at the two of you. Standing there like it’s something to be proud of. It’s disgusting.”

    Noah~I was so stunned at his statement and I wanted nothing but to kiss him right there but now was not the time. The room still carried the weight of everything that had just been said when Theo’s father turned fully toward us. His eyes moved from our joined hands to our faces with the same cold assessment he had used earlier, only now the mask had slipped enough to show the disgust underneath.“Look at the two of you. Standing there like it’s something to be proud of. It’s disgusting.”The word landed hard. Theo’s fingers tightened around mine, but he did not pull away. I kept my eyes on the older man, feeling the heat climb the back of my neck, ready to answer, when the front door opened and my dad walked in carrying a grocery bag. He stopped short at the sight of all three of us, the bag lowering slowly to his side. He had no idea what had already been said, no idea how close the kitchen had come to cracking open completely, but he took one look at Theo’s face and then at the ma

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    Say It Again ( The Magic Wordss)

    NoahThe room went silent the second the door slammed behind me. My bag slipped off my shoulder and hit the floor with a dull thud. I stood in the doorway looking between Theo and his father, neither of them moving. The air felt thick enough to choke on. Theo’s face was pale, jaw tight, eyes still locked on the man across the kitchen like he hadn’t fully processed what he’d just heard. His father stood with that same controlled posture he always carried, the one that made every room feel like a board meeting instead of a home. Noah's mother had talked about his fucking stiff demeanor but seeing it in person was an entirely different thing. I stared right at him as I repeated myself, my voice low and calm like I was not about to fucking loose it.“What the fuck did you just say?”Theo’s father didn’t panic. He didn’t raise his voice or even look surprised. He simply studied me the way he probably studied contracts, calm and assessing, as if I were another problem that needed solving

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    The Man Behind It

    TheodoreI stood frozen outside the abandoned ice rink, staring at Benito like the cold had finally cracked something in my head. His last words kept looping, heavier than anything else he’d thrown at me tonight.“…My father?”Benito nodded once.I actually laughed. Not because any of it was funny. Because it sounded completely ridiculous.“You don't mean Jeff, my step dad do you? He would fucking never. He doesn't even know.”“No, I mean your actual father. Morrison.”Either Benito was plain crazy or he just said my father, mother's ex-husband was fucking playing interference and making my life, hell.“My dad barely knows you. He wouldn’t even know your name.”Benito’s voice stayed quiet. “He knew my full name before I introduced myself.”My smile faded. He reached into his wallet and pulled out a plain business card, holding it out between us. I took it with stiff fingers. My father’s name sat in clean embossed letters right across the middle, the familiar logo of his company printe

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    No Longer A Relationship

    Theodore~I stood frozen outside the abandoned ice rink, the cold evening air biting through my hoodie and raising goosebumps along my arms. Benito’s words hung between us like smoke—“Five minutes won’t be enough to tell you who’s trying to destroy your life.” My chest tightened, every instinct screaming to bolt back to the car and pretend none of this was happening. But my feet stayed planted on the cracked pavement, arms folded tight across my chest as I stared him down.“You’ve got five minutes,” I said, voice flat.Benito let out a tired laugh that didn’t reach his eyes. “I’ll need more than that.”I didn’t smile. “Then start talking.”He took a long breath, shoulders slumping further under the weight of whatever he carried. The abandoned rink loomed behind him, its broken windows dark and empty like forgotten eyes watching us. “I never applied to Blackwood.”I frowned hard, the confusion cutting through the fear for a second. “What?”“I was transferred.” He shoved his hands deepe

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    One More Lie

    Theodore~I woke up after barely sleeping and right beside me, Noah was already awake, moving quietly around the room as he prepared for the day. Everything looked... normal. Too normal. The familiar rumple of sheets, the faint scent of his cologne lingering in the air, the soft sounds of him in the kitchen. Yet none of it brought the comfort it should have. Guilt twisted sharply in my chest the moment I heard him humming softly to himself, a tuneless melody that usually made me smile.I dragged myself out of bed and joined him in the kitchen, where the aroma of fresh coffee and sizzling bacon filled the space. Noah turned as I entered, his face lighting up with that warm, easy smile that always reached his eyes. It hit me like a punch—how much I didn’t deserve this moment after agreeing to meet Benito alone.“Morning,” he said, sliding a plate toward me across the counter. “Figured you could use a good breakfast before classes. You were tossing and turning most of the night.”I force

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    Shadows in the Dark

    Theo~I stayed leaning against my car long after Benito hung up, the parking lot emptying slowly around me as the sun dipped lower in the sky. The phone felt heavy in my hand, still warm from how tightly I’d gripped it during the call. His words kept echoing in my head, over and over, like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from. “You need to leave Noah. I’ll expose both of you.” The threat had lodged itself deep in my chest, making it hard to breathe properly. The happiness I had felt this morning while waking up tangled with Noah now seemed so far away, fragile and threatened by forces I didn’t fully understand.Eventually I forced myself to get in the car and start driving. The familiar roads blurred past the windows, but my mind was miles away, replaying every conversation I’d ever had with Benito. All those late nights talking about life, the way he had listened when I vented about Noah, the easy laughter we shared how much of it had been real? How much had been part of whatever ga
