MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN CHAPTER 037: EX AND SECRETS
RONAN;I saw the look on June’s face the moment Natalie appeared. The disdainful way her eyes moved from me to Natalie and back to me. The disappointment and quiet hurt settled deep in her hazel eyes. It hit me harder than any punch ever could. I never wanted this day to come when I would come face to face with the past I loathe so much, the mistake that had always gnawed at my heart.Facing the stupid mistake I’d been trying so hard to bury. One drunken night, in the hotel room, and now it was standing right here in front of us, chewing bubble gum and smiling like she owned me. How on earth did she find me?!My shoulders slumped. I turned to June, forcing my voice to stay calm. I handed her the two warm paper bags.“June… please wait by the bike,” I said softly. “Just give me a minute… I’ll handle this,”She didn’t argue. She only nodded, her eyes moving slowly from my face to Natalie, then back to me. The disappointment in them cut really deep. She turned and limped toward the bik
MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN CHAPTER 036: WRAPPED AROUND HIM
JUNE;Ronan’s shoulders slumped slightly as he read the hesitation in my eyes and heard the sharpness in my tone, but that stubborn smile still played on his lips. He wasn’t backing down, and I wasn’t going to let those sinful blue eyes drown me again, not today. I crossed my arms tight over my chest, trying to create some kind of barrier between us.“Where did you even get this bike from?” I asked, my voice sharper than I intended. “And why on earth would you think it’s the safest thing to bring to pick me up with a sprained ankle?”He looked away for a second, then back at me. Without answering my questions, he took one slow step closer. My eyes darted around the street, checking if anyone was watching us. My jaw clenched. “Take a step back, Ronan… People are starting to watch.” I whispered. He smirked, that dangerous, heart-stopping smirk that always made my stomach twist. Then he said the craziest thing.“Take the helmet, June. Or I’ll plant a kiss on your lips right here in fr
MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN CHAPTER 035: SPRAINED AND SAVED
JUNE;I couldn’t help the soft giggle that escaped me. Mary sat across from me, peering intently into my eyes, clearly trying to figure out who I was talking to.I switched the phone to my other hand, my fingers still a little shaky from everything that had happened this morning. His voice had brought up those feelings again, I was starting to curl in my seat.“I just stepped out for a bit,” I said softly into the phone. “I’ll be home shortly. I promise.” “You shouldn’t even be walking with that ankle. It's not so hard staying in bed, you know,” his voice came through, low and concerned.He was right. I knew that. If I had listened and stayed in bed, I wouldn’t be limping right now.”I smiled despite myself, biting my lower lip. But I had needed this, the coffee, the fresh air, and most of all, the chance to talk to Mary. “I know. I just… needed the gist. I’ll be careful.”The sky rumbled low above us, as if it had its own plans, dark clouds rolling in from one direction. A cool win
MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN CHAPTER 034: DEAD-ON-ARRIVAL
JUNE;The cab pulled up right before the coffee shop. Adults walked in and out of it, my throat gulped. The watch on my wrist showed a few minutes before five in the evening. The air was getting even colder, as if we should expect autumn rain soon. A doorman held the door while I went through, returning his bright smile even though my ankle still throbbed a little from the fall. The coffee shop buzzed with life, soft chatter, the hiss of the espresso machine, and the rich smell of coffee beans filling the air nicely. I headed straight for a table by the window and sat down. Minutes later, Mary strutted in, all bright smiles and bubbly energy. She spotted me immediately and slid into the seat across from me with a dramatic sigh of happiness.“Finally! My June bug in a real coffee shop,” she said, grinning widely. “Look at us, living like actual adults. No more sneaking drinks in my room.”I laughed, throwing my head back. “It feels weird, right? But kind of nice… Adult things.”Mary
MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN CHAPTER 033: MY RUIN
JUNE;We stayed that way, lips locked, breathing each other in. The kiss grew deeper, hungrier. Soft gasps slipped from my mouth into his. Ronan groaned low against my lips, the sound vibrating through my chest and making my toes curl right there on the floor. His hands stayed gentle but firm on my face, pulling me in, and brushing my cheeks like he was afraid I might disappear.“Ronan…” I gasped when we finally broke for air.He pulled back slowly, just enough for our eyes to meet. Both of his hands still cupped my chin, his blue eyes searching my hazel ones with an intensity that made my stomach flip. Our hearts were pounding hard, chests rising and falling as if we had just run a marathon. My fingers lightly tugged at his bare arm, feeling the warmth of his skin and the hard muscle underneath. His thumb slowly wiped across my lower lip, tracing where we had been connected. His own lips stayed apart, like he wanted to say something important but the words wouldn’t come out.I dro
MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN CHAPTER 032: SLOW, DELICIOUS THINGS
JUNE;“June,” Mariah shook me. “Are you alright?” She queried.Alright? Did she just ask that? Mom would always say I should be honest. But I was sure that doesn't apply to situations like this one staring me hard in the face. Being honest meant admitting to Mariah that my body was wanting someone it should never have wanted. I parted my lips dryly. “Yes. Of course, I am pretty fine,” I covered up. “I just thought about something. Yeah.”That was convincing enough, because her eyes moved from my face back to the view before us outside the window.Ronan stood out in the garden, bare-chested, wearing only a pair of cream-colored combat shorts that barely reached his knees. The early morning sun kissed his skin as he watered the flowers, splashing water playfully into the air. The water doing justice to his whole body too. Water ran down his broad shoulders, over the hard ridges of his abs, and disappeared into the waistband of his shorts. His chestnut hair was damp, messy, and sticki
