  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 149

    I completely pull away this time, ignoring the way she whimpers slightly in her sleep at the loss of heat. I stand up, feeling slightly woozy as the blood rushes to my head. The room tilts for a second before coming into sharp focus. I straighten my rumpled dress shirt, feeling like a mess. I need

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 148

    The first thing I register is warmth...a soft, radiating heat that definitely doesn’t belong to my high-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets. Then there’s the scent.

And whatever name he may answer to, whatever distance he tries to put between himself and his family tree

    "I’m telling you, Greg," Tobias is saying, his voice booming with the confidence of a man who just birthed a masterpiece. "Sydney is the best of the best.
