Dirty Stepbrother Chapter 17
I Was LyingJae's POVThe dining room was silent after my outburst.I'd said too much already.Then Sebastian spoke."Dinner's over. I'm heading back."My mom blinked. "You're not sleeping over?""I'd rather not.""Sebastian—""Please." He cut her off. "We've had enough family time."My mom opened her mouth to argue. But Archer put a hand on her arm."Let them go. They're adults."I stood up. My legs felt shaky. "This is the first time I'll be asking for a favour, stepbrother. Mind dropping me off at the nearest stop?""Don't be ridiculous," my mom said. "You can stay over.""I don't want to—""Jae." Sebastian's voice was firm. "I'll drive you."We walked out together. The cold air hit my face. I breathed it in, trying to steady myself.Sebastian didn't speak. He just walked to his car and unlocked the doors.I got in. The leather seat was cold. I stared out the window, feeling the weight of everything pressing down on me.Sebastian got in and started the engine. We pulled out of the

Under the TableJae's POVThe storage room moment stayed with me for days.I couldn't stop thinking about it. The way Sebastian had looked at me. The way his hand had touched mine. The way he'd said "I want you" as it cost him something to admit it.He didn't really ignore me like before. On days he couldn't stop to say hi, he texted instead. Just small things. You okay? Did you eat? Thinking about you.But he still had Val hanging off his arm. I still went to my shifts at Bar Solace and pretended I was fine.I told myself I didn't care if he was still with Val. We hadn't come to an understanding of what was going on yet. We hadn't defined anything. He said he wanted me, but what did that even mean?I was lying.I cared. I cared a lot.Then Archer's text came.I was in my apartment, staring at my phone, when the message popped up.Family dinner. Saturday. 7pm. Don't be late.I stared at the screen. Family dinner? I couldn't remember the last time I'd been to the Vaughn mansion. Not si

Scared of admitting Jae's POVThe night air was cold when I walked out of Bar Solace.My shift was finally over. My body ached. My wrist was still throbbing where Cole had grabbed me. The bruises were dark now. Purple and black. Like a brand.I pulled my sleeve down and walked home. I kept my head down. I didn't want to see anyone. I didn't want to talk to anyone.I was walking home to my apartment when I spotted him. He doesn't usually keep the bar open that late, so seeing him there caught me by surprise. Since I have to pass by his bar on my way home.Cole.He was outside his bar. Limping. Struggling. One arm was wrapped in bandages. His hand was bandaged too. Blood was soaking through.I froze. My first instinct was to turn around.But it was too late. He'd already seen me."Ohhh, see the little birdie. Your knight in shining armour came for you."I stopped. My stomach turned."Cole," I said. "I don't want any trouble.""Trouble?" He laughed. It was bitter and ugly. "You think I

The RageSebastian's POVI didn't plan to go to Bar Solace that evening.I was supposed to meet some friends at a different place. But I changed my mind at the last second. I told myself it was because I wanted a drink. I told myself it had nothing to do with Jae.I was lying.I'd been lying to myself for weeks now. Ever since the closet. Ever since I touched him and felt something I couldn't explain. Ever since I pushed him away because I was too scared to admit what I felt.I told myself it was better this way. Safer. For both of us.But I still found myself walking through the doors of Bar Solace.I ordered a drink and found a spot near the back. I wasn't really there for the atmosphere.I was there for him.I spotted him behind the bar. He was pouring drinks. Wiping the counter. Smiling at customers like everything was fine.But I knew him better than that now. I'd been watching him for months. I knew when he was pretending.Something was wrong.I could see it in the way he moved.

Cole Doesn't ForgetJae's POVThe next few days blurred together.I went to class. I sat in the back. I didn't hear a word the professors said. My mind was somewhere else. Somewhere dark. Somewhere I didn't want to go.The evenings were different. I now have two jobs at Bar Solace. During the early shift, I worked behind the bar. I poured drinks. I served customers. I smiled and nodded, pretending to be just a normal guy with a normal job. The tips were decent. The customers were rich. It was easy to disappear behind the counter.The late shift was another story. That's when I put on the mask. That's when I became someone else. Someone who danced for money. Someone who let strangers watch him move.I didn't think about the late shift when I was behind the bar. I couldn't. If I thought about it, I'd fall apart.So I just poured drinks and counted tips and pretended I was fine.Thursday night came. I was working the bar. It was busy. The kind of busy where you don't stop moving for hour

Private session Jae's POVSchool ended and I didn't look back.I walked home and collapsed on my bed. I lay there staring at the ceiling until I fell asleep.My phone woke me at eight-thirty. I had to be at the club by nine.I showered quickly. Put on dark jeans and a black t-shirt. Stared at myself in the mirror. The person looking back was a stranger.The walk to Bar Solace took fifteen minutes. I used every second to build the wall in my head. Money. Rent. Food. Survival. Nothing else mattered.The club was already buzzing. I walked through the back entrance, keeping my head down.A huge dancer bumped into me."Watch it, new kid," he said. "I don't know who's cracking your ass, but you better not get in my way.""Sorry," I said."You're new and you already got a private session." He looked me up and down. "Careful, boy. You don't want to make enemies."He walked away.I got to my dressing room. A few minutes later, the door opened.Archer walked in. Sharp suit. Calm smile."Jae,"

What did I just do? What did I let him do? What does this even make me?I don't know. I don't know anything anymore.♡♡♡An hour later my phone buzzed.Sebastian: Behind the gym. Now.I typed back: Why?Sebastian: Just come. I stared at it. I should have ignored it. Should have thrown my phone at th

Sebastian's hand was still on my jaw, his thumb moving in slow lazy circles against my cheekbone, and I couldn't fucking breathe.He was staring at my mouth."Tell me no," he said again, quieter this time.I didn't.Then he kissed me.His lips were soft at first and I felt the warmth and then he ti

I couldn't sleep all night.I lay on that mattress with the ceiling staring back at me, replaying every word Sebastian said.I must have checked my phone a hundred times. No texts from him. No damn explanation.By the time the sun came up, I had made two decisions.One: I was going to school. First
Dirty Stepbrother Chapter 3
"I will take you home. You're badly injured."I pushed myself up from the pavement I'd been sitting on. Everywhere in my body hurt… my ribs, my elbow, my fucking soul… and I hated that Sebastian seemed to have noticed all of it."What were you doing out here?" I asked. "Following me?""I was leavin
