I stared at the glowing screen of my phone until the words blurred, my heart hammering a frantic, sickening rhythm against my ribs.

He thinks he owns you, but we both know I already had you first.

The text message was burned into my retinas. I quickly locked the phone and shoved it under my pillow, trying to block out the sheer, terrifying reality of what it meant. The guy who had wrecked me in that hotel room, the one who had left me aching and breathless just twenty-four hours ago, was Arthu

  • The Step father and His plus size obsession    Chapter 11

    The words written on the back of the index card burned into my retinas, sharp and unforgiving, and the air in the dorm room suddenly felt too thin to breathe. He can't protect you through a screen, Jules, but I can see you right now.My heart slammed against my ribs with such violent force that my vision actually swam with black spots. I slowly, agonizingly, lifted my gaze from the card to the ceiling. Right above my bed, nestled in the cheap white plastic of the smoke detector, was a tiny, faint red LED light. It was blinking. A slow, steady, rhythmic pulse that matched the terrified, frantic beating of my own heart. I didn't move. I didn't gasp, and I didn't scream, because if Roman was watching me right now, if he had audio, any sudden reaction would tell him that I knew. My hands were shaking so badly I could barely hold the card, but I forced myself to walk calmly over to my desk, sit down in the squeaky rolling chair, and open my laptop. I needed to look like I was just st

    "Tell me he didn't take what belongs to this family," Leo had whispered, his thumb still resting heavily against my bottom lip. But the moment the words left his mouth, the fragile, suffocating tension in the room completely shattered. Leo didn't wait for my answer. His polished, golden-boy facade snapped like a dry twig, and before I could even blink, his fist connected with Damian’s jaw with a sickening, bone-jarring *crack*. Damian’s head snapped to the side, but he didn't fall. Instead, a dark, guttural laugh ripped from his chest, and he spat a drop of blood onto the pristine carpet. "Finally," Damian growled, his dark eyes flashing with pure, unadulterated violence. "I was wondering how long it would take for you to lose your mind, little brother."Then, he lunged. The two of them crashed into the massive mahogany desk with enough force to splinter the wood. Lamps shattered against the floor, and stacks of legal documents exploded into the air like snow. I screamed, pressi

    The brass handle rattled again, a harsh, metallic sound that echoed like a warning bell in the quiet office. Leo was out there. My heart was hammering so hard against my ribs I was terrified Damian could hear it. I was still pinned against the heavy wood of the door, my chest heaving, my skin flushed and burning from the sheer, suffocating gravity of the man caging me in. Damian hadn’t moved an inch. His thigh was still pressed against mine, his dark eyes locked onto the door with a twisted, psychotic sort of amusement. "Open the door, Damian," Leo’s polished voice called out again, though the fake sweetness was starting to fray at the edges. "I know you’re in there. And I heard a voice."Damian let out a low, rough chuckle that vibrated right through my chest. He didn't step back. Instead, he reached up, his large hand brushing a stray lock of hair behind my ear, his knuckles grazing my burning cheek. It was a deliberate, claiming gesture. "Want me to tell him to go away?" he m

    I stared at the glowing screen of my phone until the words blurred, my heart hammering a frantic, sickening rhythm against my ribs. He thinks he owns you, but we both know I already had you first.The text message was burned into my retinas. I quickly locked the phone and shoved it under my pillow, trying to block out the sheer, terrifying reality of what it meant. The guy who had wrecked me in that hotel room, the one who had left me aching and breathless just twenty-four hours ago, was Arthur Sterling’s son. Which meant he was my new step-brother. I spent the next hour trying to scrub the memory of his hands off my skin, but it was pointless. By the time my mom knocked on my door to remind me about the trust fund signing, I felt like I was walking through a nightmare. "You look pale, honey," my mom said as we walked into the massive, glass-fronted lobby of Sterling Corp. She reached out to adjust the collar of my blouse. "Are you sure you're not coming down with something? And wh

  • The Step father and His plus size obsession    Chapter 7

    I stood in the middle of my massive, ridiculously opulent bedroom, staring at the heavy oak door like it was about to burst into flames. Arthur had told me to leave it unlocked, and I had done exactly what he said, my fingers trembling so badly I could barely turn the brass knob. Now, I was just pacing the plush carpet, my heart hammering a frantic, sickening rhythm against my ribs. The air in the room felt thick, suffocating, and every time the floorboards creaked out in the hallway, my breath hitched in my throat. I was wearing nothing but the thin, ribbed-knit burgundy dress and a scrap of black lace underneath.I had tried to pull the neckline up, tried to smooth the fabric down over my thick thighs, but it was pointless. The dress clung to every soft curve, every heavy swell of my chest, leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination. Then, the doorknob turned. It wasn’t a loud sound, but in the dead silence of the room, it sounded like a gunshot. The door swung open slowly

    I thought the study was going to be where Arthur finally broke me and claimed what he thought was his, but it turned out to be the library that nearly ruined my sanity instead. When I finally worked up the nerve to walk down the hall and knock on Arthur’s heavy oak door, his deep voice immediately barked from the other side, telling me he was on a crucial call and to wait in the library until he was finished. So, I retreated down the dimly lit corridor, my heart still hammering a frantic rhythm against my ribs from the way his hand had bruised my thigh under the dinner table. I pushed open the double doors to the library, expecting it to be empty, but the sharp clink of ice against glass made me freeze. Leo was standing by the mahogany bar in the corner, a crystal tumbler of amber liquid in his hand. He had ditched his suit jacket, and his white dress shirt was unbuttoned halfway down his chest, the sleeves rolled up to reveal thick, corded forearms. He looked like a completely
