Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter Fifty-three: Constellation on my skin.
Ariana's Pov"I'm getting really curious about what's inside those gift boxes," I admitted, my eyes still fixed on them.Kian stood up without saying a word and walked over to the pile. He picked three of the smaller boxes and carried them back to the table, setting them down in front of me. My heart was already beating faster."Start with these," he said quietly.I didn’t hesitate. My fingers flew through the wrapping on the first one. Inside was a designer bag and I was very familiar, I remember it being on display at the airport that day and I had stopped to admire it but moved when I saw the ridiculous price, I couldn't believe he even realized. I turned to look at him, I couldn't stop smiling." How did you know""You stared at it way too long"I smiled. The fact he noticed it and kept it in mind to get one for me was really considerate. It made my heart warm up.The second box was surprisingly light. Curious I unrapped it the paper and froze. It was a photograph of me from the
Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter Fifty-two: Above the city lights
Kian's PovFor a moment, I simply stared at her.The fireworks had faded, the noise had died down, yet somehow she was the only thing I could focus on.The dress suited her, more than suited her. The soft fabric flowed around her with every step while the lights from the terrace caught against the tiny details woven into it. Her hair fell around her shoulders in loose curls and somehow made her look even younger than she already did.Beautiful. Everything about her was annoyingly beautiful, not just the dress or her hair, It wasn't even the smile currently spreading across her face as she started walking towards me. It was her.A few feet away, she bent down and picked up one of the giant teddy bears lying on the floor. Hugging it against herself, she continued walking until she finally stopped in front of me."You can't keep promises."I raised an eyebrow."Hmm?""Is that all you have to say?" She looked genuinely offended."I waited." A small smile threatened to appear on my face."
Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter Forty-one: Worth the wait
Ariana's Pov Nine o'clock slowly came and passed and the mansion was almost guest-free again. Kian never showed. At some point, I stopped pretending not to care. Most of the guests had already left, leaving only a few family friends behind. For the first time all evening, I finally had a chance to sit down with Scarlett and Naomi again. This time Ethan and Caleb were with them too. "Birthday girl," Caleb said as he approached. "Happy birthday, miss," Ethan added with a smile. I laughed. "Thank you, everyone." I dropped into the chair beside Scarlett and let out a dramatic sigh. "Finally. The day is almost over and I'm exhausted." They all laughed. The conversation flowed easily after that. We talked about random things, laughed over old stories and made fun of Naomi whenever Ethan looked at her for longer than two seconds. Eventually, Naomi and Ethan stood to leave. "We should get going." Naomi hugged me tightly. "Happy birthday again." "Thank you." Ethan wished
Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter Fifty: Everything except Him
Ariana's Pov "Are you okay?"I looked up. Naomi had been staring at me for a while now."You look..." She paused. "I don't know. Nervous"."I'm fine," I told her.The look she gave me made it obvious she didn't believe me. Scarlett didn't seem convinced either because the two of them exchanged a glance. The kind of glance people shared when they thought you were lying.I narrowed my eyes."What?"Scarlett sighed dramatically. "I can't believe you're making me do this."I frowned. "I'm making you do what?"Before I could finish the sentence, she closed the distance between us and wrapped her arms around me. I blinked then laughed."I just knew you were going to turn me into a hug person. Happy birthday, Ariana," she said softly. "I'm really glad we're friends now."Something about that made my chest warm. I hugged her back."I like you better as a hug person.""Good." Naomi immediately stepped closer."Me too.""Group hug!" I shouted.She rolled her eyes but joined us anyway. The thre
Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter Forty-nine: The hours before four
Ariana's Pov As soon as I stepped into the living room, every head turned towards me. For a second, there was silence before Nana started singing. "Happy birthday to you..." Her voice was loud, completely off-key and full of confidence. Mum's attention snapped towards me immediately and the smile that spread across her face was so wide it looked like she had been waiting there all morning just for this moment. she joined in almost instantly."Happy birthday to you..." Dad followed, along with a few staff members nearby. Halfway through the song, Nana suddenly paused. "Happy birthday dear, the birthday girl..." She frowned. "Wait is that it" Mum burst out laughing. "Mum, that's not it." "I know that," Nana protested. "I forgot the next part." The rest of us started laughing too. "You forgot your own granddaughter's birthday song?" Dad asked. "I forgot one line," Nana corrected. "That's exactly what I said." By the time the song finally ended, I was already smi
Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter Forty-eight: Birthday preparations.
Ariana's Pov "No Scarlett" somehow I wasn't surprised she would ask such a thing. "So you're trying to tell me you both haven't had sex yet in that mansion" That mischievous smile still on her face. "Absolutely not!!!" And technically I wasn't lying right? We hadn't had sex yet. At least not since I realized he was my Stepbrother. "So he hasn't put a tongue in your pussy yet" "Scarlett.." I paused mid way. I stopped, my words dying instantly as I stared at a smile and it wasn't Scarlett. He was walking past our table, the corner of his mouth lifted as though he had heard the most interesting conversation ever. He looked way too amused. The amused look he gave us was enough for me never to want the ground to open up and swallow me. He had definitely heard us and he wasn't even trying to hide it. "Scarlett" I hissed "What?" "I think that stranger heard us" She looked over her shoulder. The man glanced back once, still smiling before continuing on his way. "ohh" Sh

Ariana's pov When I opened my eyes, the first thing I did was reach for my phone. 9:17 AM. I stared at the screen for a second before it finally registered. A day to my birthday. A smile immediately tugged at my lips. I rolled onto my back and stretched before finally dragging myself out of b
Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter Forty-six: The trouble with Ariana
Kian's Pov The door clicked shut behind her. For a few seconds, I simply stared at it. The silence she left behind settled across the room almost immediately. Then I shook my head. A small smile pulled at the corner of my mouth before I could stop it. Unbelievable. The woman had walke

Ariana's Pov "Who did you see?" For a few seconds, Kian didn't answer. Then he pushed himself off the bed and walked towards the window. I watched him from where I sat. The city lights glowed beyond the glass, painting faint reflections across the room. He stood there with both hands in his p

Ariana's PovI stepped inside and quietly closed the door behind me."Kian?"Nothing.For a moment I just stood there listening. Then I heard the faint sound of running water coming from deeper inside the room and immediately looked towards the bathroom door.Oh.He was in there.I should probably
