KINGSTON

I knew something was wrong the second I saw her face at breakfast.

Nia sat at the table with a full plate she wasn’t touching. Her eyes kept drifting toward the hallway that led to her room, then snapping back to her coffee like she’d caught herself. Renee talked about weekend plans. Dad scrolled through emails. I watched Nia over the rim of my cup and felt the same protective pull that had been getting harder to ignore.

She looked exhausted. Not the good kind from the night before.

  • My One-Night Stand Turned Out to Be My Stepbrother    Soft Spot

    KINGSTON I knew something was wrong the second I saw her face at breakfast. Nia sat at the table with a full plate she wasn’t touching. Her eyes kept drifting toward the hallway that led to her room, then snapping back to her coffee like she’d caught herself. Renee talked about weekend plans. Dad scrolled through emails. I watched Nia over the rim of my cup and felt the same protective pull that had been getting harder to ignore. She looked exhausted. Not the good kind from the night before. The kind that sat behind the eyes. I finished my coffee and stood. “I’m heading in early. Nia, you riding with me or taking the car service?” She blinked like she hadn’t expected the question. “Car service is fine.” “No. I’ll wait ten minutes. If you’re ready, we leave together.” Renee smiled like I’d done something considerate. Dad nodded without looking up. Nia hesitated, then pushed her chair back. “Give me five.” In the elevator she stood on the opposite side, arms crossed, staring at

  • My One-Night Stand Turned Out to Be My Stepbrother    Ava’s Pressure

    NIA I left Carter Global with Kingston’s come still sticky between my thighs and the badge reader beeping behind me like an accusation. The private elevator felt too bright. My blouse was wrinkled. My legs still trembled. Every time the doors reflected my face I saw the same flushed, thoroughly fucked expression I’d worn leaving his office. I fixed my hair with shaking fingers and told myself no one would notice. At the penthouse the elevator opened straight into silence. My mother called from the kitchen. “You’re late. Everything okay?” “Long first day,” I said, already moving toward the hallway. “I’m going to shower.” I locked myself in the bathroom and stood under hot water until the evidence of what we’d done washed down the drain. It didn’t help. My body still felt him—the stretch, the desk under my chest, the way he’d held my hair while he finished inside me. Addiction was too soft a word for it. I dressed in leggings and a hoodie and sat on my bed with my phone. Three mi

  • My One-Night Stand Turned Out to Be My Stepbrother    Office Heat

    KINGSTONVictor’s voice came from the doorway like a quiet verdict.“Looks like you two are already working well together.”Nia went rigid in the chair. I stepped back from the desk on pure instinct, putting clean space between us. The page she’d written still sat on the wood, her fingers no longer near mine.I kept my face neutral. “She finished the summary early. It’s solid.”Dad walked in fully, glancing at the paper. “Good. That’s what I wanted to see.” He looked between us with mild approval. “Don’t keep her too late on the first day. Renee’s making dinner.”“We won’t,” I said.He left. The second his footsteps faded, Nia stood.“I should go.”“Stay.” The word came out before I could stop it. “The last line still needs tightening. Ten minutes.”She hesitated, then sat again. I closed the door halfway—not fully, just enough to cut the hallway noise. Bad idea. I knew it was a bad idea.We worked in silence for a few minutes. She adjusted the final sentence. I watched her handwritin

  • My One-Night Stand Turned Out to Be My Stepbrother    Office Trap

    NIAI knew something was coming the second my mother told me to sit down after breakfast.Victor sat across from me at the dining table, calm as always. My mother stood beside him with that determined look she got when she’d already decided how the conversation would end. Kingston was already gone to the office. Victor spoke first. “There’s an open junior marketing associate position at Carter Global. I’d like you to take it.”I stared at him. “No.”My mother’s eyebrows shot up. “Nia—”“I already have applications out,” I said. “Real ones. I don’t need a job handed to me because I live here.”Victor didn’t look offended. He just nodded once. “I understand that. This isn’t charity. Your grades are strong. Dean’s list three semesters. The role is entry-level but real. You’d report to the marketing team and handle actual campaigns, not coffee runs.”“I can get that somewhere else.”“You can,” he agreed. “But you’re living under this roof right now. You’re family. I’d rather put you some

  • My One-Night Stand Turned Out to Be My Stepbrother    Almost Caught

    KINGSTONDad’s voice cut through the dark kitchen like a blade.“Kingston? You up?”My blood turned to ice. Nia’s eyes went wide. She was still leaning against the island, lips parted, the faint flush from what I’d just done to her still visible on her cheeks. The taste of her was still on my tongue. My cock was still hard against my sweatpants.I didn’t think. I grabbed her sleep shirt off the counter and shoved it into her hands.“Go,” I mouthed.She didn’t argue. She snatched the shirt, spun, and disappeared down the opposite hallway toward her room on silent feet. I heard her door click shut a second before Dad’s footsteps reached the edge of the living area.I turned on the sink and let the water run. Rinsed my hands. Rinsed my mouth. Grabbed a paper towel and wiped my face like I’d just washed up. My pulse hammered so hard I felt it in my teeth.Dad appeared in the doorway in a robe, rubbing one eye. He stopped when he saw me.“Couldn’t sleep?” he asked.“Yeah.” My voice came ou

  • My One-Night Stand Turned Out to Be My Stepbrother    The Warning

    Nia’s POV Ava’s finger stayed pointed at Kingston like she could erase him from the hallway if she just kept it there long enough. “That’s him. The club guy.” The words hit the quiet room and stayed. Kingston didn’t move. He leaned one shoulder against the doorframe, arms crossed, face unreadable. Only the muscle in his jaw gave anything away. I shut the door in his face. Ava spun on me the second it clicked. “Are you out of your mind?” “Keep your voice down.” “Keep my—Nia.” She grabbed both my shoulders. “That is the man you described in exact detail. Tattoos. The way he moved. The way he—” She cut herself off and dropped her hands. “You said the sex was one of a kind. You said you’d never felt anything like it. And now he’s living here. As your stepbrother.” I sat on the edge of the bed because my legs felt unreliable. “I know.” “No. You don’t get to say ‘I know’ like this is a parking ticket.” Ava paced the short space between the bed and the window. “You need
