Amaya's pov

The movie played on, but it was just background noise. I barely noticed the opening credits, my mind too tangled in the heat of the moment. Jaxon was leaning back on his bed, his dark eyes flicking toward me every few seconds. I tried to focus on the screen, pretending I was paying attention, but his presence was overwhelming, magnetic and impossible to ignore.

I hesitated at the edge of the bed. My heart was pounding so hard I was sure he could feel it through the mattress. Every i

  • Inlove with my stepbrother    Chapter Twenty Four

    Jaxon's PovI paused outside her door, hearing it before I even saw it, the faint, uneven breaths, the quiet little moans that made my blood pound. My hand rested against the frame, and I swore I could feel the tension vibrating through the wood.Amaya. My Amaya. She had that phone in her hand, flushed and trembling, completely absorbed in whatever she was doing. I should have walked away. Should have respected her space. But I couldn’t. Not when she looked like that. Not when she was… like this.I stepped into the room slowly, not wanting to startle her. My eyes caught the subtle glow of her phone against the dark of her room. Her hair had fallen loosely over her shoulders, slightly messy, framing a face I knew would be gorgeous even if she tried to hide it. The flush across her cheeks, the quick inhale she didn’t realize she was taking, the way her lips were slightly parted…I had to fight the urge to step closer, to reach out, to touch her. But I settled for leaning against the doo

  • Inlove with my stepbrother    Chapter Twenty Three

    I lay sprawled on my bed, the soft glow of my bedside lamp casting long shadows across the room. It was late, the kind of quiet night where the city's hum faded into a distant murmur. I'd stripped down to just my tank top and panties after a long shower, my skin still damp and warm. My phone sat on the pillow beside me, screen dark, but I couldn't shake the restlessness buzzing under my skin. Work had been a grind, and Jaxon, God, Jaxon, had been on my mind all day. That intense stare of his in the school hallway, the way his shirt hugged his shoulders. I pushed the thought away, not ready to dwell on the impossible crush I'd developed on my stepbrother. i couldn't believe i was actually saying that A soft vibration jolted me from my haze. I snatched up the phone, heart skipping as I saw the notification from Unknown Number, the mystery texter who'd been lighting up my nights for weeks. No name, no face, just these electric words that made my pulse race. Unknown Number: Hey, strang

  • Inlove with my stepbrother    Chapter Twenty Two

    I told myself this morning that I could handle it. That I could go to campus, keep my head down, and act like last night hadn’t happened. Like Jaxon hadn’t slipped his hand around my waist, like I hadn’t spent the night tangled in his arms, heart hammering, body on fire.It didn’t take long for that plan to fail.I was walking across the parking lot, earbuds in, trying to focus on the music, when I froze. My chest tightened, my stomach dropped, and I almost stumbled over my own feet.There he was. Jaxon. Leaning casually against his car, and of course… Tiana. Her hand curled around his neck, lips pressed to his, kissing him like the world didn’t exist. My pulse thundered in my ears. I could feel heat rise to my cheeks, and my hands balled into fists at my sides.I wanted to look away. I wanted to run. But my body refused. My eyes were glued to them. The scene felt like a dagger twisting in my chest. The way he let her cling to him, the way his lips moved… I should have been angry, dis

  • Inlove with my stepbrother    Chapter Twenty One

    I woke to the weight of him pressed against me, his arm draped over my waist, his chest warm beneath my cheek. For a second, I couldn’t move. The memory of last night, the movie, the closeness, the way he held me, hit me all at once, like a tidal wave I wasn’t ready to face.Panic clawed at me. My heart hammered. I didn’t belong here. I didn’t belong in his arms. I had no right. Slowly, carefully, I tried to extricate myself, holding my breath as I eased out of the sheets.His arm tightened slightly. I froze. Did he feel me moving? Did he know I was slipping away? I risked a glance, he was still asleep, the faint rise and fall of his chest calm and steady. I let out a shaky breath and tiptoed toward the door, praying the floorboards didn’t creak.Once I was in my own room, heart still racing, I wrapped myself in my pajamas like a shield. The panic hadn’t left; it had only amplified. I didn’t know how to face him, or myself.Breakfast felt like walking onto a stage. The smell of toast

I tried to focus on the screen, pretending I was paying attention, but his presence was overwhelming, magnetic and impossible to ignore.I hesitated at the edge of the bed. My heart was pounding so hard I was sure he could feel it through the mattress. Every instinct screamed at me to step back, to retreat, to remind myself of all the reasons this was wrong. But every muscle in my body seemed to be glued to him, drawn forward by some invisible force.“Sit closer,” his voice murmured, low and deliberate, cutting through the tension like a knife. My stomach flipped. It wasn’t a question. It wasn’t a suggestion. It was a command, and somehow, I obeyed. My legs slid onto the bed, my body careful to stay distant, but my hands trembled as I gripped the edg

  • Inlove with my stepbrother    Chapter Nineteen

    Amaya’s chest tightened as she stared at Jaxon, his words echoing in her head like cruel thunder. Dating. Her throat burned, and her eyes stung with hot tears she fought to hold back. She turned away from him, refusing to let him see her break. But her thoughts wouldn’t stop repeating the same thing: How could they be dating? How? She hugged her arms around herself, trying to make sense of the ache clawing at her heart. Tiana’s face, smiling, leaning into Jaxon, his lips on hers, it flashed behind her eyes like a nightmare. Her voice was unsteady when she finally spoke. “Just… leave my room, Jaxon.” But Jaxon didn’t move. Instead, she felt him step closer, his presence thick in the air behind her. “Why are you so bothered about what I do?” His voice was low, pressing. Amaya spun halfway, her lips parting, but no words came out. She stared at him in silence, her mind caught between anger and confusion. Why am I so bothered? Why does it hurt so much? He wasn’t hers. She had no ri
