Chapter 6

"If it's not my new stepmom," Zane said, as he looked me up and down, his sexy lips pulled up into a cold smirk.

"Sorry for barging in like that, I will just leave you to finish up whatever it is you are doing," I hurriedly replied, turning towards the door to leave. Nobody used the attic as a laundry room ever since I came into the house, so it served as a place of privacy for me.

And it looked like I just lost my private space now that Zane was back.

"Oh, you don't need to leave like that, you didn't do anything wrong this time," He replied, his tone mocking.

My hand froze on the door knob.

Looked like he wanted to talk about that night, but I wasn't sure I was ready to talk about it yet, so I turned the knob, more than ready to leave his presence now.

A big, deeply tanned hand suddenly hit the door, palm forward, stopping me from pulling it open.

I stood still, my hand still on the knob.

I could almost feel his naked chest on my back as he breathed in and out deeply.
