My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter Sixty-Six: Being his fully
My lips were swollen from his brutal kiss, my body still pinned between him and the elevator wall and all I could think about was how much I wanted and needed him.I grabbed his jacket, fisting the fabric to pull him closer. My body arched into his as Ieaned into his lips again. I needed more of him “Ethan…” I whispered, sounding so very desperate.He groaned, his grip on my waist tightening, I could sense how his restraint was slipping, but he was still holding back.He shook his head. "Not like this."I blinked, confused. "Then how?"His fingers brushed over my cheek, his gaze locking onto mine. “I want you, but if you give yourself to me, it won’t be in a moment of anger or desperation.”I didn't know what to do to make him see that my body was longing for him."Then take me, Please" I murmured, pressing my body closer, letting him feel exactly how much I wanted him.His jaw clenched, his breathing was becoming uneven. Then he leaned in, his lips almost kissing me.“Be mine,” he

One moment, I was tangled in sheets that smelled like him, my body sore from the amazing sex and then the next, Ethan was effortlessly lifting me from the bed. I blinked as I still sounded tried. “What… are you doing?” He didn’t answer or even look at me. He just carried me as if I weighed nothing, his grip firm but still shockingly gentle. I could hear the sound of running water and the scent of steam and lavender, my breathe tightened. Was he… running me a bath? I panicked instantly as I thought of another possibly thing he was doing... was he going to bathe me? “Ethan, I can do it myself.” Still, he said nothing. He stepped into the bathroom and set me down on the cool marble counter. I watched as he turned toward the tub, rolling up his sleeves. This wasn’t the ruthless businessman who had wrecked me, the one who took everything I gave and then demanded more. This was different. And that terrified me more than anything. He reached into the water, testing the temperature w

The sheets were a tangled mess, my whole body still smelling like him. Fuck. I was still sore.I stretched instinctively, reaching for warmth—for him—but the space beside me was empty.A strange unease settled in my chest. I pushed myself up onto my elbows, scanning the room.He was near the window, already dressed, a folder resting in his lap. His sleeves were rolled up, his hair slightly tousled, but his posture was all business. Cold. Detached. A complete contrast to the man who had done unspeakable things to me just hours ago.Something was wrong."You’re up early," I murmured, my voice still thick with sleep.Ethan didn’t immediately respond. He flipped a page, scanning whatever document had his attention, then finally looked at me. Blue. Icy."We have something to discuss."That cool, unreadable tone—so different from last night. I frowned, trying to shake off the unease creeping up my spine."What’s so important that it couldn’t wait?"He didn’t answer. Instead, he tossed the f

I looked at him very curiously wondering what he was saying with Mr. Ventura, seeing how bad the meeting ended, I expected them to scream at eachother on the call but Ethan just nodded, ended the call and turned to me."Get dressed. We have a breakfast meeting."I arched a brow, still gripping the crumpled contract in my hand. "A meeting?"if I'm being honest, I wanted them to scream at eachother, because what if life with out a little violence?"Ventura wants to finalize the deal over breakfast be ready in fifteen minutes he specifically mentioned that you would be in attendance."Just like that there was no discussion or acknowledgment of what had just happened between us.I threw the contract on the floor and got ready, Ethan should shove this contract down his fine ass.I needed to get ready for the supposed meeting, I just hope Mr. Ventura didn't bring Camille because I was more than ready to claw her eyes out.***We sighted Mr. Ventura at the far end of the hotel Cafe with a cu

"That’s that," Mr. Ventura said, looking pleased. "Tonight we celebrate at the hotel club VIP, of course."I nodded wondering how this old man wanted to drink at the club but Ethan didn’t react.He didn't even look at me when we shook hands with Ventura or even when we walked out of the restaurant and when we went back to our hotel room.My victory was cut short when. I saw another fresh contract on the bed waiting for me to sign.I stopped mid-step, glancing at the papers before turning toward Ethan, who was already angrily removing his tie."You had another copy?" I asked.He smirked . "I knew you would ruin the first one."I crossed my arms trying to look intimidating. "How very prepared of you."He just gave me an unbothered look. "Sign it."I picked it up. "And what about the job?"Ethan rubbed his fingers along his jaw before sighing. "I guess we can compromise,"I couldn't help but smile without another word. I grabbed the pen from the nightstand, bent over the bed just enoug

I took my time to study her since she wasn't replying, she still looked incredibly beautiful but this time she didn't have that smug look she did at the business meeting.Maybe she wouldn't try so hard to embarrass me this time.She wore a white sequin dress that did wonders to her figure and her high heels made her look incredibly tall, I wanted to touch her hair and ask her what she did to get it to be straight like that, but I quickly pinched myself remembering that she was the enemy.“Of course you should, you helped your company secure a million dollar deal that is impressive.”I was trying to get her angel, was she trying to get on my good side now that Mr. Ventura is on our side or does she have a trick up her sleeve.I decide to also play her game"I guess you're right.” I said with a plastered smile on my facem “I guess winning after someone tries so hard to make me lose feels even better."I gave her an innocent smile before I then met her gaze, she knew I was right, after

It was ridiculous how quickly things moved. Yesterday I was in a five star hotel overseas with Ethan while today I stood in the conference room with glass walls surrounded by people who thought I was unworthy of sharing the same air as them and wanted me to fail.How perfect…But if I was being really honest with myself, I didn't want to ever leave the phillipines, it was a magical place and now it held memories.By memories, I meant that the image of Ethan fucking me more times than I could count was forced embedded in my mind.The moment we landed, Ethan didn't even have a moment of rest, he was busy with meetings and phone calls, finalizing the last details of the merger. And now, here we were in the so-called victory part of the deal.He wanted to start the planning phase immediately, without any time wasted but first we had to celebrate Ethan Blackwood style.The once boring conference halls now had a long table in the center, set with champagne flutes and trays of hors d’oeuvr

Finally, the applauded stopped and I not so quietly left the stage, I scanned the conference room for Rachel but she was no where to be found.If really needed a mental anchor but there was no one else but Rachel.It was too bad she wasn't here but if it got to sticking her nose in I and Ethan's business, she would miraculously be present.Everyone was glaring at me, even after Ethan moved on to discuss logistics and next steps, I could feel their eyes and even hear the accusations, from people who couldn’t stand the fact that I was the one standing beside him.Let them hate, after all that was all they could do after all it wasn't as if they could take this merger deal from me.I sipped my champagne slowly, allowing the bubbles to linger in my throat because no matter what they thought or what they gossiped, it would still go down in history books that I had won.The gossip didn't change the fact that I had secured the merger, and stood at the front of this room not because of Etha

I turned back to Ethan, his hand still hovering like he wanted to reach for me again but didn’t dare.“Ethan,” I said, almost begging him to say, “What were you going to say?”His eyes met mine. “Don’t trust her, Sophie.”My pulse jumped. “Why? Make me believe you just don't tell me what to do.” He opened his mouth to speak but then Rachel appeared with a smile on her face.She was dressed in something effortless and expensive, her designer sunglasses pushed up into her waves. She looked like a magazine cover come to life.“Sophie, oh my God,” she said, eyeing me from head to toe. “That dress is stunning on you, you’re glowing!”I blinked, still wanting Ethan to speak, but I could tell he wasn't going to Rachel's gaze went right past Ethan like he wasn’t even breathing in the same room.“I’m parked outside. Come on, they’re expecting us you are gonna thank me by noon.”She held out her hand and I was about to take it, Ethan stepped between us.“She’s not going with you.”Rachel’s sm
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 117: Her apology and his warning
Sophie's POVRachel kept on talking as if what Ethan was saying wasn't her concern.“Well don't listen to Ethan, what I planned was amazing.” Her eyes gleaming with excitement. “It will be just us girls and I have got us booked at Valentina’s, with all the VIP things, steam rooms, facials, massages—the works.” She paused and glared at Ethan. “You will love it, Sophie. So relaxing, play you need to loosen up.”I opened my mouth, unsure what to say.Ethan didn’t say anything., but I could sense that he had a lot to say. “I thought it would be nice for her to get a break from all… this.”She waved vaguely toward him, but we both knew what she meant, that Ethan was the problem here.That’s when Ethan coughed out loud.Rachel flinched before regaining her sugar-drenched composure. “Just saying—it’s bonding and I am trying.”Ethan stepped forward, clenching his jaw. “Sophie is not going anywhere.”Rachel scoffed, tossing her hair over her shoulder like the queen of chaos she thought she wa
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 116: Ethan's damage control
Sophie's POVEthan was pacing my room, like a mad man on rampage and I actually understood where he was coming from.“He’s been sending money to Callahan.” He repeated.He kept walking and then finally he started staggering and the, his back but the wall and he sank like his legs gave up on him, he looked like he was about to drown.His hands clawed at his shirt, as he was hyperventilating.I walked up to him and then dropped to my knees to stay beside him. “Ethan, hey please look at me.”But he didn’t look.“Ethan—look at me.” I repeated as I cupped his face trying to make him feel calm, my thumbs brushed over his cheeks. His eyes were glassy like he wanted to cry, but he was trying to hold it together.“Breathe with me,” I said calmly. “Okay? In... one, two... hold it. Now out. Nice and slow.”I repeated it until I felt him mimic my breathing and then his breathing calmed down, our backs were against the wall looking like two people whose life was over.He let his head fall forward
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 115: THE UNINVITED GUEST
Sophie's POVI didn't know what to say, but Ethan was giving me a very apologetic look, but my look was anything but accommodating.He needed to know that his mere presence wasn't going to change anything.“What the hell are you doing in my house?”“I need just five minutes of your time.” He said and I nodded because it was rare to see Ethan Blackwood begging for something from a common girl like me. “I came to apologize.”A laugh escaped from my lips before I could stop it. “It’s a little too late for that, don’t you think?”“Sophie—”“No, do not say my name like we are still fine and like you didn’t shut me down and tell me to mind my business when all I did was trying to care.”He flinched at words, I was pleased that she was flinching like he should.“I was angry and I wasn’t thinking—”“Exactly,” I cut him short. “You weren’t thinking Ethan you were freaking spiraling, and I tried to help and you practically told me to disappear.”His silence only made me more angry and when I lo
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 114: Golfing with the enemy
Ethan's POVI have been missing Sophie, and I have been a terrible asshole that doesn't deserve her one bit.she was too kind, he was like a freaking saint who but up with me ever fucking time, she could do way better than a broken bastard like me but she still stayed.But it doesn't change the fact that I still wanted her.I know I hurt her. Maybe not with my hands, but with my words first and then my silence.I could apologize. But I won’t, because apologies don’t fix people like me.I want to make myself believe that she was better off without a sadistic mother fucker like me and a woman like her needs someone softer, who doesn’t wake up every morning with a bitter ass mood and snaps when he didn't .Still… I miss her.But not enough to seek her out.But the only thing I've been doing right this week is following Callahan, and the bastard's life was indeed monotonous.I parked my car behind him, as he stepped out of his sleek black BMW at Silver Pines Golf Club, he was laughing int
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 113: The week he wasn't there
ONE WEEK LATER- Sophie's POVIt had been a week, seven freaking long, quiet days since Ethan last spoke to me.He hadn’t called or even texted, I didn't even get a forwarded meme or a “hey.”And I didn’t reach out either, not because I didn’t want to, but because I meant what I said. If he wants to talk to me, he knows where to find me.And more importantly, he owed me an apology. I wasn’t going to chase someone who could so easily brush me off like I was just another person in his life So when Monday came and I went to the site for the hotel expansion because we have been neglecting it. If he wanted to pretend I didn’t exist, fine. I could still work without him.I didn't know if it was because I hadn't been here for a while but everything came together just perfectly, to say that it was stunning was an incredible understatement.It was regal with floor to ceiling windows and it didn’t look like something built in under a year.“This is impressive,” I muttered to myself as I smooth

We were just about to leave when the receptionist called me back."Miss? Miss — could I have a word?"I turned, blinking, to find her standing halfway out from behind her desk, her hands were fidgeting nervously with the hem of her cardigan as she glanced around, as if afraid of being overheard.Would you mind if I spoke to you... alone for a moment?" she asked, her voice polite but still sounding very urgent.I blinked but before I could answer, she turned her apologetic smile toward Ethan."Sir, if you don't mind—?" she gestured vaguely toward the parking lot.Ethan looked between us, frowning slightly, looking at her very suspiciously as he always looked at everyone. But after a few seconds, he gave her a small shrug and muttered, "I'll be in the car," before stepping fully outside."I'm sorry," she said in a rush, "I just... I needed to catch you before you left."I shifted my bag higher on my shoulder. "It’s okay. What is it?"She glanced toward the door, as if checking to make
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 111: No turning back
As we left the hospital, I took in a deep breath, but it didn’t help.Ethan walked in front without waiting for me, his shoulders tight, his head down like he, I hurried after him.We pulled out of the hospital lot as we drove in silence, there was a lot I wanted to ask but I couldn't find the right words to say them.But then finally, I couldn’t take it anymore."So," I said carefully trying to keep my tone neutral, "What’s the plan? What exactly do you want to do now?"He stared straight ahead as his eyes were locked on the road. His knuckles were so tight on the steering wheel, they looked almost white and bloodless."What else? We will visit Rose Callahan," he said without hesitation.I studied him quietly, feeling his uneasy he was, there was more to this, so much more he wasn't willing to share."Ethan," I said slowly, "I’m not dumb. Something’s going on between you and your ex-stepmother, I am not dumb not to notice and that whole thing back there? That wasn’t nothing."His re
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 110: Pieces of the past
The second she said his name, it was like an electric shock shot straight through Ethan. His body tensed, his usual composed exterior cracking as his eyes locked onto the nurse with an intensity that almost startled me. His reaction wasn’t subtle in any way it was as if someone had just tossed a bucket of ice-cold water over him, and he was struggling to process it.He looked both relieved and scared at the same time, and it was understandable. I could practically feel his anxiety pressing on my chest.“You worked with Dr. Callahan?” Ethan asked, his voice desperate. The nurse blinked at him, a little startled by his intensity. “Yeah. Unfortunately,” she muttered as she didn't try to hide her bitterness. “For a long time.”“Can I—” Ethan paused, swallowing the words as though they were fighting their way out of him. “Can I ask you some questions about him?”He asked it like she was offering something precious, like every word she could give him was the missing piece to a puzzle tha
