Broke Up... Now I Am His Stepfather CHAPTER 106: HEATED [3]
Amanda’s eyes narrowed the moment she stepped into the room, her gaze cutting from Caleb to Ruby and then to Henry, who stood beside her, and then she turned and walked out with a calm that felt sharper than anger.Caleb’s chest tightened as the door closed behind her. He looked at Ruby, who lingered as if he wanted to explain himself, his mouth opening only to fail him. Ruby took a few hesitant steps, then quickened them, breaking into a jog as he hurried after Amanda.Silence dropped heavily in the room.Caleb exhaled and turned to Henry, who stood still for a beat before moving closer. Henry sat on the edge of the bed, his shoulders tense, and Caleb followed, lowering himself beside him.“So that was the reason he volunteered to help Amanda,” Henry said quietly, staring ahead. “No matter how hard she tried to be here.”Caleb let out a short scoff, more tired than amused. “Let’s not talk about that now,” he replied, his voice firm but controlled.“Okay,” Henry said, stretching the w

Asher had left earlier for a meeting, leaving Caleb alone in his study, reviewing the documents Amanda had organized that morning. Tall windows stood open, letting in the quiet warmth of the afternoon, and he was midway through marking a page when a knock sounded at the door. “Come in,” Caleb said, not lifting his head at first, then looking up sharply when Ruby stepped inside instead of the person he expected. He straightened, surprise flickering across his face as his gaze moved briefly to the hallway behind Ruby. “Where is Amanda?” he asked, his tone even, though something beneath it had tightened as he closed the file on the desk. Ruby shut the door gently behind him, his expression bright in a way that felt misplaced in the subdued room. “She is with Henry,” he said, clasping his hands briefly before letting them fall to his sides. “They are training in the west courtyard, and she asked me to help you with whatever you needed. Sorry, I volunteered to help.” Caleb paused, the

Derek froze just inside the doorway, his eyes locking with Jesse’s as Jesse halted in disbelief, his chest tightening while awe and longing settled in his gaze.Derek rushed across the room and pulled Jesse into a hug so tight they both inhaled sharply, hearts hammering as they clung to each other. For a long moment, they stayed like that, breathing each other in, eyes fixed on one another, until their lips met in a deep, urgent kiss.The sound of the front door opening made them pull apart at once, their bodies stiffening as Lorenzo stepped in, his presence filling the living room with an authority that pressed heavy against the air.Derek and Jesse turned to him instinctively, catching the corner of his mouth lift in a brief smile that vanished almost immediately. Behind him, Tonia appeared, moving with a lethal grace that drew the room into stillness, and for a heartbeat, no one spoke.Derek stepped forward towards Lorenzo and bowed slightly. “Good day, Sir,” he said, his voice ste

“You need to calm down,” Harrison said quietly as he closed the door behind him, the lock settling into place as the room fell silent. Asher remained still for a moment, then took the leather chair with controlled ease, his presence steady and unyielding.Harrison sat opposite him. “I’m here because something you buried has been reopened,” he said, his tone direct. “A sealed matter from years ago. One that carried your involvement from the beginning.”Asher’s gaze did not shift.“The closure was deliberate,” Harrison continued, his words flowing without pause. “The process was engineered to end quickly and cleanly, insulated legally, structured to withstand inspection. It worked because you made sure it did.”Asher leaned back slightly, his expression unchanged. “Until it didn’t.”“Until someone reopened the path...” Harrison said. “By alignment. The details from one case began to mirror another, and once that connection surfaced, it couldn’t be unseen.”Asher’s jaw tightened slightly

“No, Dreon,” Jaden breathed, pushing him back gently even as Dreon’s mouth lingered at his neck, warm and insistent, his face half buried there while his hand traced slow, familiar paths over Jaden’s bare skin.Jaden wore only thin pajamas, no boxer beneath, the fabric riding low on his hips, exposing the curve of his waist and the teasing line of his body.“You’re avoiding me again,” Dreon said, disappointment slipping through his voice when their eyes met, the look between them heavy with want they were both pretending not to feel.“I’m not, Dreon,” Jaden cut in softly, his left hand resting Dreon’s thigh, grounding and intimate all at once. Dreon’s gaze dropped to Jaden's hand before lifting again, darker now, searching Jaden’s face for something he was not giving.“It’s been a week,” Dreon said, the edge of anger creeping in as he turned away. “A full week, and you won’t let me feel nor touch you.”“Dreon,” Jaden murmured, withdrawing his hand slowly, his eyes following the moveme

Amanda stepped inside and closed the door behind her with controlled ease. Caleb rose from beside Asher and moved toward her, his body tight with restrained urgency, his eyes flicking past her shoulder once before returning to her face as if searching for an answer she had not yet given.“What happened?” Caleb asked, concern evident despite the effort he made to keep his voice steady.Asher's gaze lifted to Amanda and then shifted briefly to Caleb before returning to her.“Amanda?” Caleb said, his voice cool and exact.“He’s fine,” Amanda replied calmly.“That’s not what I meant, and you know it,” Caleb said, the words controlled even as a tight pull settled deep in his chest.“We found him with a man Jaden said came to his rescue,” Amanda explained, her eyes never leaving Caleb’s. “During the exchange, the man was shot. His name is Dreon. Jaden requested to stay and look after Dreon.”Caleb studied her, his gaze narrowing slightly as if measuring the weight of every word she spoke, t
