The Stepbrother I Crave chapter 65: Intoxicated Sophia
Sophia had broken her promise. She was already heavily intoxicated and felt terrible for failing to keep her word to her father. The alcohol burned through her veins, its effects weighing heavily on her body and mind. A stranger had his arms wrapped tightly around her from behind, moving their bodies in rhythm with the loud, throbbing music that filled the club. The venue was extremely crowded, with people packed together like sardines, making it nearly impossible to move freely or reach the bar for another drink.All she craved was more liquor. That was all she wanted—an unrelenting, strange hunger that refused to fade. She thought she had managed to numb at least half of her emotional pain, but as the nameless man spun her around to face him, their eyes met. His were a striking shade of baby blue, yet they seemed dull and ordinary compared to the vivid emerald eyes that still haunted her every dream and held her heart captive.She had not succeeded after all. Julian remained deep
The Stepbrother I Crave chapter 64: vile woman
As Sophia and kate made their way down the stairs, Sophia’s eyes immediately met her father’s. He sat beside Maya, though his usual lively energy seemed noticeably absent. A deep crease had formed between his brows, and for a moment, Sophia wondered what had dampened his mood. Her attention shifted from the small group of familiar faces gathered around them. While she couldn’t recall every name, she recognized most of the guests.“Where exactly are you heading, Sophia?” her father asked, his tone sharp with disapproval.She had anticipated this reaction. After all, he was her dad—he preferred to keep her close, always within sight.“I’m going to the club with my friends,” Sophia answered, offering him a small smile as she walked past. However, her expression quickly faded when she noticed who sat across from them, Julian and Olivia. They were positioned side by side, with Julian’s arm wrapped possessively around Olivia’s waist. She leaned into him intimately, their closeness impos
The Stepbrother I Crave chapter 63: Forgetting heartbreak
“Are you sure you are alright?” Maya asked, lifting a sandwich toward Sophia’s lips. “You seem different.”“Why?” Sophia replied, frowning slightly as she took a bite. “Did you spend a year mourning after your first heartbreak, weeping over someone who clearly did not care, or did you become a depressed woman desperate for affection?”She felt strangely detached. Everything seemed oddly ordinary because she had partly shut down her emotions, blocking out whatever caused pain.“Well, you were acting very differently last night,” Maya said, gently wiping the corner of Sophia’s mouth with a handkerchief. “Are you sure you are okay? You do not have to pretend. I am here for you.”Was she pretending?No, not at all. As long as she kept him and those painful memories locked in the darkest parts of her mind, she would be fine. And she planned to keep them buried for a long time.“I am simply keeping myself occupied, Maya,” Sophia sighed. “I do not want to waste any more energy on that hear
The Stepbrother I Crave chapter 62: loving is letting go
Flashback Continues:Maya's words echoed oddly inside the old walls that Sophia had carefully repaired. Regrets, it turned out, were simple to hold onto—especially once the most precious parts of life began slipping away.“It may look as though she has everything with you now, Julian,” Maya started, her tone laced with warning, “but mark my words, regret will eventually arrive. She is young and swept up in her feelings. In time, when clarity returns and she starts relying on reason instead of impulse, she will see what she is missing. And Julian, I hate to say it, but why would you want her to carry the troubles that shadow your existence? Your unstable ex is a never-ending problem, constantly pursuing you and appearing everywhere. Your uncles still demand money from you, you have not recovered from the troubles of your youth, and those scars run deep—perhaps too deep to mend. If you truly care for her, why force Sophia to endure all of that? No one wants to put the person they lov
The Stepbrother I Crave chapter 61: let her go
As Julian watched Sophia leave, something inside him collapsed. It took every bit of strength he possessed to stop himself from running after her and confessing that every single word he had spoken had been a lie—nothing but lies he had made sound like truth.Fuck…The image of her standing at his door in that delicate white dress, hair still damp, eyes red and swollen, with the pain of the previous night still visible on her face—it destroyed him. She had looked so fragile, as if the slightest touch could break her further.What had he done?A heavy sigh escaped him. The memory of her tear-streaked face, the hurt in her eyes, and the shake in her voice tormented him. He had already wounded her badly, and now these cruel words had driven her far away. He had set fire to the bridge connecting him to his life, his dreams, his peace, and everything he valued.She had been the only light he had ever discovered in his dark world, and he had just put it out. But he had to do it—to make it
The Stepbrother I Crave chapter 60: Did you sleep with her?
Julian fixed his gaze on her, his voice steady and unyielding. “I could have done far worse to you than I actually did. I was fully capable of using you for much darker purposes, and you know it. So who is really at fault here? It wasn’t me who chased after you first, Sophia. You were the one who came to me. If you think about it that way, it doesn’t seem like I took advantage of you.”His words cut deep. Sophia felt them slicing through her, shattering her inside, though she doubted he even realized the harm they caused. Or perhaps he simply did not care.Still, she could not hold back. She needed some kind of explanation—maybe not the main reason, but something that would help her let go of him.Julian made it easier by continuing. “We both wanted this; that’s why we grew close in the first place. I cannot stay with someone I do not love. My heart belongs to Olivia, and no matter what we have been through or what she has done, it does not change my feelings. I still want her in my
The Stepbrother I Crave chapter 20: Don't stop, Julian
Julian helped her along, shoving his jeans and boxers down his thighs until his throbbing cock sprang free. Sophia’s fingers wrapped around the thick length instantly, stroking him from root to tip, mesmerized by how scorching and steel-hard he felt in her grip.“Just keep going,” he rasped, voice

He extended the folded sheet toward her, his gaze challenging her to accept it. Sophia hesitated, every instinct screaming at her to refuse, yet raw curiosity overpowered her. She snatched the paper from his grip, her hands quivering as she unfolded it.Her eyes flew across the hastily scrawled li
The Stepbrother I Crave chapter 9: Storm
Sophia's father waved politely, unaware of the storm brewing inside Sophia."Ah, Julian! How lovely to see you out so early."Julian smiled, his expression as calm as ever. "Good morning, man. It's a beautiful day, isn't it?"Sophia avoided his gaze, but she could feel the intensity of it burning
The Stepbrother I Crave Chapter 8: Desire
Her heart swelled at his words, but the reality of their situation loomed over her like a shadow. As much as she wanted to stay wrapped up in this moment, they couldn't ignore the risks. The world outside this room was full of expectations, obligations, and dangers that could tear them apart if the
