My Step Uncle is my Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

I nodded, and Chase smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners, relief flooding through him. He took my hand, and we walked away from the coffee shop, into the night.As we strolled, the tension between us was palpable. We didn't need to say a word; our bodies spoke for us. We were drawn to each other like magnets, unable to resist the pull.We walked for blocks, hand in hand, until we reached Chase's car. He opened the door for me, and I slid in, feeling a sense of excitement and trepidation.As Chase got in and started the engine, I couldn't help but wonder. But I pushed the thoughts aside and focused on the moment.We drove through the city, the lights blurring together as we sped by. Chase's hand found mine, and he squeezed it gently, his thumb drawing slow circles on my palm."I'm glad we're doing this," he said, his voice low and husky."Me too," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.We drove for what felt like hours, the silence between us comfortable. Finally, we arrived

My heart skipped a beat as I gazed into Chase's eyes, the truth finally sinking in. I was falling for him, hard. The realization both thrilled and terrified me. How could I have let this happen? He's my step-uncle, for crying out loud!And he wanted to be a better person for me!Chase's expression softened, and he reached out to brush a strand of hair behind my ear. "Hey, don't worry about it, okay? I'm here for you, and I care about you deeply."I nodded, trying to process my emotions. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of confusion.Chase took my hand, his touch sending shivers down my spine. "Let's put this aside for now and enjoy the day, okay?"I nodded, and he led me out of the house, into the warm sunlight. We walked hand in hand, the tension between us palpable.It felt weird walking through the peaceful morning with him without the fear of being caught my my mom or anyone that knew us, and I wished the day would last a little longer.As we strolled through the park, Chase po

*Chase's POV*I stared at my phone, my mind racing with thoughts of Elodie and the conversation she'd just had with Daniel. I could sense the tension in her messages, the unease that seemed to permeate every word.I'd been about to head over to the house, to talk to her in person and figure out our next move. But her last message had stopped me in my tracks. "Please, don't. I have it under control." I wasn't sure if I believed her.I knew Daniel had seen us together, had sensed the connection between us. And I knew he wouldn't hesitate to use that against us. Though I wouldn’t care less about what he knew or did, I was more concerned about Elodie.I sighed, feeling a mix of frustration and concern. I didn't want to push her, didn't want to make her feel like I was suffocating her. But at the same time, I couldn't just sit back and do nothing.I decided to give her some space, to let her handle Daniel for now. But I couldn't shake the feeling that this was far from over. That Daniel's

_Elodie's POV_I tried to shake off the hand gripping my elbow, but it only tightened its hold. I spun around, my heart racing, and saw one of the men from the black sedan looming over me.His face looked familiar and then it clicked. He was one of the men from the restaurant."Let me go!" I shouted, trying to pry his fingers off my arm.But he just sneered, his eyes glinting with malice. "You're coming with us, Elodie," he growled.I struggled and kicked, but he was too strong. He dragged me across the sidewalk, my feet scraping against the pavement. The city lights blurred together as I stumbled, my mind reeling with fear.Just as I thought all was lost, a loud crash echoed through the air. The man's grip on my arm faltered, and I stumbled backward, gasping for breath.I turned to see Chase, his eyes blazing with fury, charging towards the man who had been holding me. But it wasn't just Chase - he seemed...different. His movements were fluid, almost animalistic, and his eyes seemed

I lay there, my body still reeling from the intensity of our encounter. Chase's body was still wrapped around mine, his chest heaving with exertion.I couldn't believe what had just happened. I'd never felt so alive, so consumed by desire. Chase's touch had set me on fire, and I'd never been able to extinguish the flames.As I looked into his eyes, I saw something there that gave me pause. Something that made me wonder if I'd made a mistake.But I couldn't think about that now. All I could think about was the way he'd made me feel. The way he'd touched me, kissed me, possessed me.I felt a shiver run down my spine as I remembered the way he'd taken control, the way he'd demanded my submission. It was exhilarating, terrifying, and utterly addictive.I knew I should be scared. I knew I should be worried about the consequences of our actions. But all I could think about was the way he'd made me feel.We still had a lot of things to talk about. A lot of issues to iron out, but at that mom
