Mason:

Breakfast was supposed to be normal.

It had been a week since… well, everything. The yacht. The kiss. The conversations we didn’t have. But somehow, over the past few days, we had drifted back into this strange rhythm laughing at stupid jokes, throwing sarcastic jabs, pretending like nothing existed between us except… family.

Family.

God, I hated the word when it came to her.

This morning, Lily sat across the counter, legs folded underneath her, wearing one of those tiny satin shorts she probably thought were harmless. They weren’t. Nothing about her was harmless. The sunlight from the patio spilled across her bare shoulders, making her skin glow like golden silk. Her hair was still damp from the shower, curling softly against her collarbones.

I shouldn’t have noticed any of this. But I did. I always did.

She caught me staring and raised an eyebrow. “What?”

“Nothing,” I said, clearing my throat and focusing on my plate. “You just chew loud.”

She gasped, mock-offended. “I do not

  • Stepbrother Wants Me   Chapter 26

    Lily: The sound of footsteps came from the living room and I quickly wiped my face with a towel. I rushed out and found Mason. “Have you been crying?” was the first question he asked as soon as saw me. Shit! How did he even know that? “What? NO, I haven’t been crying.” I lied, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand. Were my eyes still swollen? I had made sure to wash it properly and dry my eyes. “Does it look like I have been crying?” I asked and he walked towards me, pulling me close. “Your eyes are red and swollen and you look pale like you’ve seen a ghost.” Not a ghost but Chad was definitely worse than one. “Oh, I was trying to clean and accidentally sprayed my eyes.” “Why were you trying to clean? The house keeper comes here every Tuesday and Thursday.” “I know. I just didn’t have anything to do all day, plus I missed you.” I said, kissing his cheek. It was my way of distracting him.” He grabbed my waist and kissed my lips. I chuckled. “How was your meeting?” I aske

  • Stepbrother Wants Me   Chapter 24

    Lily: I woke up the next day and rolled to the side to hug Mason but the bed was empty. I frowned and then opened my eyes. Only a creased bed was beside me. I sat up and stretched, wondering where on earth he could have gone. The last thing I remembered was dinner and us falling asleep. I stood up and made my way to the bathroom, he wasn't there. I washed my face and sighed. There were a bunch of red marks on my neck and face. Hickeys. We hadn't had sex last night but Mason had made sure to mark me with hickeys. I found it cute but also embarrassing. I made my way downstairs and found breakfast on the table but no Mason. It was 9am but he wasn't here. I wondered for a second where he had gone. Maybe for his usual morning run but then I saw a note on the fridge. I picked it up. “Gone for a meeting, will be back soon my sweet. P.S; I made breakfast.” Mason. I smiled, blushing extra hard. He was such a sweet guy. It was almost unreal. Most guys like Mason were assholes

  • Stepbrother Wants Me   Chapter 23

    Lily Mason’s kisses became my favorite thing. Ever since we had sex two days ago, everything had been going so smoothly but then Chad. That bastard. I hated him and I loved that Mason hated him just as much. I could not believe I ever liked someone like that. What was I thinking, liking a man like that? He was an arse. The type of arse that did not mind putting things in women’s drinks. You would think a guy like that would not have any problems getting women, and I was sure he did not. He just wanted control. And the worst part was Rowena had been there. I was glad she had not noticed me. I wanted nothing to do with her and her messed up brother. I sat up from the bed. It was eight in the morning. Mason was gone. Last night had been spectacular. We had not had sex but we made out until I forgot all about seeing Chad and his dirty hands on me. I rubbed my eyes and looked around the room. It smelled faintly like coffee. Before I could think too much, the door opened and Mason

  • Stepbrother Wants Me    Chapter 22

    Mason: I was disgusted by the sight of his sister but I wanted to pin him to the ground and hit him until he was knocked out. “What are you still waiting for? I said move.” My voice was sharper this time. The only reason I wasn't pining him to the ground was that the tabloid would have a field day if I did. I wasn't trying to cause trouble, especially since I was trying to close a deal before my father got back from his trip with Lily's mom. “There is no need for trouble. I just want to know how you are?” He looked at Lily. Lily was clearly uncomfortable but couldn't really say. I wasn't thinking when I punched him but I wasn't expecting him to touch her either. Chad groaned, blood pooling out of his nose like a water hose. I grabbed Lily's hand and led her to the car, not bothering to wait for Chad to recover. I knew I was going to wake up to that on the tabloid but I didn't give a fuck Chad was a dirty bastard and for him to act self righteous now when he almos

  • Stepbrother Wants Me   Chapter 21

    Lily: I heard Mason’s car pull up in the garage and ran to the window to see if it was him. It was. He was stepping out of the car, carrying a bouquet of roses. A smile spread across my face. The bouquets matched my dress. The dress he had sent to me just three hours earlier. He had sent his assistant, a very beautiful blonde girl. She was very beautiful but there was something about her that pissed me off. I wasn’t particularly sure what it was but it had been a strong feeling. I quickly ran back to my room and began to put on my shoes. It was a strap heel and transparent. Like a glass shoe. I stood up when I was done strapping on my heels and made my way to my mirror. I looked breathtaking in my off the shoulders red gown. I wondered for a second if Mason had been the one to choose the dress or if that assistant of his did. If she was the one, I might just forgive her even though I still wasn’t sure what she had done to me. My hair was swept into a low bun a
