TALIA’S POV

I blinked, convinced my brain was malfunctioning. Because what was I seeing? Honestly, I couldn’t decide if it was horrifying or the exact opposite.

Maxton stood there. Six foot three. Completely, unapologetically naked. His body looked like it had been sculpted on purpose, every muscle landing exactly where it should. I tried not to look but my eyes betrayed me, dropping lower until I landed on...yeah. That thing… Not even hard, but huge!!!

I couldn’t help but instantly feel like a pervert. My face burned, shame taking over me. Why was I still staring? Why couldn’t I stop staring?

“Oh my God,” I muttered, whipping my gaze away like that would erase the last five seconds. I tugged my towel tighter, as if that scrap of fabric was going to protect me from him.

Without another word, I slammed the door shut in his face and scrambled for the nearest shirt. Yanking it over my head, I tried to bury the humiliation I was feeling inside. The whole situation was so unbearable, I w

  • Her Hockey Stepbrother, Her Worst Enemy, Her Beloved   Chapter 50

    TALIA'S POVNothing felt real, absolutely nothing.I knew I was with Maxton, I knew I was sitting right in front of him, both of us holding eye contact, but still absolutely nothing made any sense.I was drunk, high, or whatever it was, I honestly couldn’t tell thanks to whatever I had taken back at that party.Honestly, why had I even taken so much of that drink? I had my sense but I didn’t at the same time. I wasn’t in control of anything, or whatever words found a way to slip out of my lips. Right now I was sure I was going to say something I might absolutely regret to Maxton, yet at that very moment I didn’t care much. The alcohol gave me a kind of confidence I knew for sure I would never have if I was actually in my right mind.This all felt strange though, like it wasn’t real, like I wasn’t even sure if it was some sort of dream. A hallucination? I couldn’t tell exactly which one it was.Maxton maintained eye contact with me, his face so close to mine as we kept staring into eac

    MAXTON'S POV He paused, letting his words sink in like some kind of heavy stones. “We are over… if Maxton takes you home.”Talia stopped walking, freezing in place.. I could tell her mind was racing ,probably trying to figure out if she had actually heard him right. Her eyes flickered between disbelief and confusion, and then a small laugh escaped her lips. “You are joking, right?”“No. I am not joking,” he said, his voice loud and clear . “If you walk out that door with him, it is done. I mean it. I can’t… I won’t.”Her face turned serious, more serious than before . For a moment, she just stood there, her hands hanging limply at her sides. Her lips trembled as she bit down on her bottom lip, trying to hold back tears that threatened to roll down . Her eyes glistened red i, but there was no hesitation in what she said next.“Then you can consider it done. Let’s go, Maxton.”And just like that, she turned and walked toward the door. She didn’t wait for another word. Her heels clicked

    MAXTON'S POV Zeke stumbled back, clutching his cheek like he couldn’t believe what just happened. His eyes were wide, I could see both shock and anger flashing across his face.“You slapped me?” His voice cracked. He leaned in closer, lowering his tone like he didn’t want anyone else to hear. “You slapped me because of Maxton?”For a second, the room went still. I could feel people glancing our way, whispers starting to rise from the corners. My heart pounded, but I refused to back down.“No, Zeke,” Talia said, her voice calm even though her hands were shaking at her sides. “I didn’t slap you because of Maxton. I slapped you because of the disgusting things you just said to me.”His brow furrowed, like he still couldn’t process it. “Disgusting?”“Yes!” Her voice cut through the noise around us. “You called me names. You treated me like I was some… thing you owned, like my worth begins and ends with you. Do you even realize what you said?”Zeke’s jaw clenched and unclenched. He looked

    MAXTON'S POV “Else what?” Zeke shouted, his voice basically shaking the atmosphere between us. His jaw tightened, veins pressing against his neck as he glared at me like I was his worst enemy.To be honest right now I might be.. My fingers curled so tight my nails bit into my palms. God, it took every ounce of control not to swing at him. Not here. Not with Talia standing right there, watching us.I couldn’t let this happen. I couldn’t let him pull her away from me. He was letting her drink, he didn’t stop. I was watching it all! And maybe I looked pathetic, lurking in the shadows, watching them since he arrived at the party, slipping into their orbit like some ghost that wouldn’t leave. Yeah, I had been spying, hanging back, trying to figure out if he wanted to harm her or do something bad to her since . But I couldn’t stop. Not when it came to her.Bambi had even tried to make a move on me earlier when Zeke was busy introducing Talia to his dad. Same old routine, fake smiles, too

    TALIA'S POV “Tell that to your guest,” Bambi’s mother snapped, her voice loud enough to break glass. “I am the one being insulted, and you say nothing? Yet you were ready to throw my daughter out for these nobodies? Really?”The hall went quiet again. The room felt more suffocating with every second, squeezing the air from my lungs. Every word from her lips were mean and condescending and yet she spoke like she was the victim. Typical.The man didn’t flinch. He stood tall, his voice composed, almost calm. “I wouldn’t expect much from someone related to you. Still, I had hoped for a little more class, at least in public. But seeing your behavior now, it’s easy to understand why your daughter acts the way she does.”A collective gasp rippled through the room. Bambi’s mother stiffened, her painted lips curving into a line as she arched one brow. “How dare you?” she hissed, her tone low and dangerous.I almost smiled. For once, someone had the courage to put her in her place besides me a

  • Her Hockey Stepbrother, Her Worst Enemy, Her Beloved   Chapter 45

    TALIA'S POV:Bambi’s mother walked towards my direction with so much confidence like she owned the place and everyone in it. Her red silk dress shimmered under the lights, every fold catching the glow like fire. The hem sparkled with what looked like diamonds, tiny flashes of wealth announcing themselves with every step she took.Luxury. Power. Money. She didn’t even have to say a word, her presence screamed it all.I had always wondered what Bambi’s mother looked like, and now that she was here, she didn’t just meet the picture in my head, she shattered it. She was everything I expected: classy, polished, intimidating and every bit the glamorous witch I knew she would be.Her eyes cut across the room before staying on me, it was cold and had no emotions. “And this?” she said, voice carrying with disgust she didn’t bother to hide . “This is the girl you want to throw my daughter out for?”The words stayed in the air, it was degrading and poisonous.She let her gaze travel slowly from
