My Heartless Stepbrother 33. I want is is what's best for her
ADRIAN I watched Chase intently. We didn't speak to each other for a long minute as I tried to gather my thoughts. He didn't have his plastic grin painted on his face this time. Maybe almost dying made him humble. "You are looking better," I commented to break the silence. "Thanks. Luckily, the reaction doesn't last long after the shots," he said dryly. "Good to know," I said and exhaled slowly. Something about this guy made my stomach turn, and I had a feeling it wasn't just my jealousy. It was something deeper than that. "What did you want to talk about?" Chase asked. "You know I have nothing to do with your allergic reaction back there, right?" I said. Chase shook his head. "Who said you had anything to do with what happened? I never accused you of such a thing." "No. But I wanted to make things clear between us. I do not like you, that much is obvious, but I don't wish you were dead. I'm not a goddamn criminal," I barked. "Yes, I didn't think so. You don't have what it tak
My Heartless Stepbrother 34. Playing Games
MEGHAN Mind games. It seemed that Adrian liked to play them. I didn't want to do this with him, but if he never wanted to come clean about his feelings to me, I didn't know how to deal with him. "There, I won't act shy. So now what?" I said sharply. Adrian moved closer to me, and my heart thumped against my chest. I stayed still as he moved a strand of hair off my face. Smiling mischievously, he let his fingers brush against my cheek, making me twitch. "Are you offering yourself to me?" Adrian smirked. "Are you going to let me do anything I want to you?" "God, you are so arrogant. No, that's not what I'm doing at all. I just want to see how shameless you are," I said. Adrian chuckled and kept playing with my hair. He had no intention of leaving me alone, I could see that now. He was trying to tease me, maybe even make me cry. But I wouldn't let him win this time. "Shameless, huh?" He wiggled his eyebrows. "You seemed to love it on the phone the other day. When I talked dirty to
My Heartless Stepbrother 35. Are You Sick?
ADRIANI snickered as Maggie stormed out of the room. She looked pretty sexy when she was angry. I could tell my comment about her being 'easy' really pissed her off just like I intended, so I didn't stop her from leaving. It's not like she could run far from me anyway. We lived in the same house!Why did I say those things to her? Why not?If she thought I would let my guard down just because I confessed my love to her, she has another thing coming. I had my heart broken by her once, and I'm not about to let her do it to me again. But I had to hand it to her for not crying about my comments this time. Maybe she was stronger than I thought.In the morning, I woke up feeling like shit. My head throbbed in pain, but I decided not to skip class this time. I couldn't miss the chance to tease her.I got ready and knocked on her door to see if she needed a ride, but she didn't answer."Maggie, you in there?" I called her before opening the door to peer inside. Entering without knocking woul
My Heartless Stepbrother 36. Cuddle Me
MEGHAN What do I do with this guy? So I thought as I stared at Adrian sprawled across the bed, mumbling feverishly. I tried to call mom and see if she could help. "Oh, no, honey! We won't be home for four days. We are visiting grandma, remember?" she had said over the phone. Fuck... That means I was stuck here, taking care of my stepbrother, who had been nothing but a douche to me these past few days. And now I have to take care of him? I thought about ditching him like this and go hang out with Chase like I had originally planned, but when I saw him lying there, moaning and groaning, I felt terrible. I couldn't just leave him there when he had a high fever! What kind of person would that make me? He grabbed my arm after I put a second blanket on him. "Let go, Adrian. It's time for me to go to bed," I said as he tugged on me. "No...stay here with me," he said. His eyes were still bloodshot, and his hand was hot like he was a human furnace. "NO! You need to stay here and take
My Heartless Stepbrother 37. We can do other things now
ADRIANI felt something soft against my body as I turned to my side.Someone's soft and warm skin.Who-...I opened my eyes fully and nearly gasped as I looked at Maggie lying next to me...naked.Okay, not fully naked. She still had her underwear on, but still. What a beautiful sight! What happened last night? Did we have sex? I couldn't remember anything, and my head still felt heavy.I thought about holding her again and going back to sleep for a few more minutes but changed my mind."Maggie, wake up," I said and tapped her gently."Mmm...what..." she mumbled, then turned the other way. Her hair sprawled all over her face and neck. I wanted to run my fingers through them all day."Maggie, what are you doing here lying down half naked in my bed? Are you trying to seduce me?" I chuckled softly.Her eyes snapped open. "You are awake," she said."Yes, but back to my question. What are you doing here in your underwear?"Her eyes turned wide. "What do you mean? You begged me to stay with
My Heartless Stepbrother 38. Come Back to Boston with Me
MEGHANI was beyond horrified and embarrassed being caught by Chase like this. What was going through his head right now? He must think I'm a slut and would want to break up with me.I took a long shower to buy myself some time. I didn't know how to explain things to him. I made a mistake by sleeping with Adrian once, but I didn't imagine Chase be understanding about it. There was no way I was going to class now. I needed to sort everything out with Chase first.After I got done getting ready, I went to the living room and found him waiting for me."Took you long enough," Chase said grimly.I hung my head low to hide my heated cheeks. I didn't know where to start. Should I start from the beginning and tell him everything? What was the point anyway?"S...sorry...I just...I guess I was stalling. I don't know what to say or how to explain things," I murmured."I see. Well, should I believe you when you say you didn't have sex with him last night?" he asked curtly.I nodded frantically. "
My Heartless Stepbrother 39. Going to the Club
ADRIAN"Let's go, Chase. I'm ready to go now. Why are we just standing around?" Meghan grabbed Chase's hand and urged him to get in the car.I looked at the big man who was glaring at me. "Who's your new friend?""This is Bronson, my bodyguard," Chase said without blinking.A bodyguard? Is this guy serious?"What do you need a bodyguard for? Can't protect Maggie by yourself?" I said in a mocking tone."Come on, Adrian. Don't start. Can we just go, Chase?" Maggie said. I could tell she was worried. Probably worried about me starting a fight. And then, of course, she'd put all the blame on me.I smiled to myself. She was nervous about the situation, poor thing. "Yeah, go ahead and have fun, guys. I won't keep you," I hissed. "Get her home by morning.""I'll bring her back when she is ready," Chase said, leading Maggie into the car.I guess seeing us together in bed wasn't enough for Chase to break up with Maggie. He was really hung up on her, huh? I wondered why.Sure, Maggie was beauti
My Heartless Stepbrother 40. Come with Me
MEGHANThe music was loud.I was starting to regret coming here because my head throbbed, and I didn't feel like dancing at all. I was never a fan of dance clubs."Are you having fun?" Chase screamed over the music."Um...yea, but do you think we can head home soon?" I said."Already? We just got here. This is supposed to be the hottest club in town! You know it's not easy to get in. Especially when you are under twenty one but see how easy it was for us?" Chase bragged."Yes, that's great, but this music is giving me a headache. Maybe I caught whatever Adrian had," I said.Chase's face turned dark at the mention of Adrian. "I sure hope not.""I just don't feel good, so how about we head home early? I'm sorry for being a bummer, but maybe we can try...""Come on, I'll take you somewhere quieter," Chase said and grabbed my hand. Then, before I could say anything else, he pulled me away from the dance floor and led me back to the club somewhere."Wait, Chase, where are we going?" I said
