MY STEPBROTHER’S CURVY TEMPTATION The space between
Aurora’s POV. Something about Prescott was off.It wasn’t the usual arrogance or the sharp-edged teasing I had grown used to. Since morning he had been quieter, more withdrawn, his instructions clipped and his attention only half on the work in front of him. Every time I entered his office to drop off files, I found him staring at the same document for too long or standing by the window with his hands in his pockets, as if his mind was somewhere else entirely.I told myself it didn’t matter.After the way he had reacted to Marcus’s flowers, after the confrontation about the date, after the morning I had walked into the kitchen and found Zoe in a guest robe, I had every reason to keep my distance. Prescott Zane was a complication I didn’t need Marcus was kind consistent and easy to breathe around. That should have been enough.And yet I still noticed every shift in Prescott’s mood like a change in the weather.Around
MY STEPBROTHER’S CURVY TEMPTATION Back to old habits
Prescott’s POV By Thursday afternoon the tension in the office had become a living thing.Aurora sat outside my glass wall like she had every day that week composed, efficient, and carefully distant. The peonies Marcus had given her were still on her desk in a slim vase. Every time I looked up, I saw them. Every time I saw them, I remembered the way she had smiled at him.It was starting to get under my skin in a way I couldn’t seem to correct, I’ve got to clear my head and my thoughts of her. I pressed the intercom.“Lena. Come in.”She entered a moment later with her tablet, the door clicking shut behind her. As always, she looked perfectly put together fitted dress, smooth hair, the quiet confidence of a woman who knew exactly what she was to me. She stopped in front of my desk and waited.“You needed something?” she asked.I leaned back in my chair and studied her for a second. Lena was easy, probably
MY STEPBROTHER’S CURVY TEMPTATION Office Gifts
Aurora’s POV I was in the middle of organizing Prescott’s afternoon schedule when a soft knock sounded against the edge of my desk.Looking up, I found Marcus standing there with a small bouquet of pale pink peonies in one hand and a neatly wrapped gift bag in the other. A few people nearby glanced over with mild curiosity Lena, from her desk, watched with a visibly tightened expression.“Marcus,” I said, surprised. “What are you doing here?”“I was in the building for a meeting and thought I’d stop by.” He held out the flowers first, smiling in that easy, unforced way of his. “These are for you.”I stared at them for a second too long. No one ever brought me flowers. Not at university, not at home, and certainly not at an office where most people still looked at me like I didn’t quite belong.“You didn’t have to do that,” I said.“I know.” He placed the bouquet gently on my desk, then set the gift bag bes
MY STEPBROTHER’S CURVY TEMPTATION The morning after
Aurora’s POVI stayed in bed rolling unable to sleep. I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, the argument with Prescott replaying in my head in fragments. The way his voice had tightened when he asked about the date the look in his eyes he hadn’t been able to fully hide. The moment he admitted I was right and walked away like the conversation had burned him.“Why do you care?” Why did I even say that? Gosh. I had asked him that, and for a second he hadn’t seemed to have an answer I turned onto my side and closed my eyes, trying to force my body to rest. That was when I heard it.Soft footsteps moving down the stairs. A low murmur of voices somewhere below then silence… followed by a sound I wished I didn’t recognize, the sound of skin slapping against each other muffled gasp. The faint shift of furniture, rhythm that made my stomach twist.I stared into the darkness of my room, every muscle tight.Zoe.Of course.I sho
MY STEPBROTHER’S CURVY TEMPTATION Step sister
Prescott’s POV I was still standing in the entrance hall when the front door opened.Aurora stepped inside, the red dress clinging to her body under the warm light. Her lips were slightly fuller than earlier, her cheeks faintly flushed. She stopped the moment she saw me for a few seconds neither of us spoke, the image of Marcus kissing her outside was still burned behind my eyes.“Did you have a nice time?” I asked.My voice came out tighter than I intended.She closed the door behind her slowly. “I did.”“How was the date?”Aurora set her clutch down on the console table, her movements careful. “It was nice. Marcus was a gentleman.”The word grated against me.I gave a short, humorless breath. “A gentleman, of course he is right funny how that works. I spend the evening taking your advice keeping my hands to myself, rejecting your friend when she throws herself at me by the way and meanwhile you’re outsid
MY STEPBROTHER’S CURVY TEMPTATION The date
Aurora’s POV Marcus arrived exactly on time.When I stepped out the front door he seemed stunned his eyes moving over me in quiet appreciation smiling sheepishly There was nothing predatory in the way he looked at me just open admiration.“You look beautiful,” he said…again The sincerity in his voice made something in my chest ease. “Thank you.”He led me to his car and opened the passenger door for me. The gesture was simple, but it felt intentional. As we drove toward the city, the conversation came surprisingly easy. He asked about what I studied about what I had planned before all the sudden changes in my life. When I spoke, he actually listened and didn’t interrupt. He didn’t turn every answer into a joke or a flirtation. He just… paid attention.We arrived at a quiet, elegant restaurant overlooking the river. Soft lighting, low music nothing ostentatious. Marcus had chosen somewhere comfortable calm and serene
