All Chapters of Stepbrother; My Salvation : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

ISABELLA Stay away from problems and they'll stay away from you, right? Wrong. My entire life, I'd craved simplicity, avoiding drama and controversy like the plague. I kept to myself, never rocking the boat or seeking trouble. But, as fate would have it, I got slammed with the most mind-wrenching, soul-shattering drama imaginable.*****His hands slipped under my skirt, gently tugging down my panties. This was wrong, so wrong, but it felt incredibly right. The tip of his fingers grazed my skin, sending jolts of electricity through me.He flashed his perfect smile. "I knew you were naughty," he whispered, his smooth baritone voice caressing my face. He sucked in my lips, his knee pressing against my skirt.My mind raced; my mom was going to kill me. But I pushed the thought aside. "You only live once," I told myself, surrendering to the moment.******The book was yanked from my grasp, and I met Ariana's scathing glare. "I told you to get ready, bitch," she spat.I rolled my eyes, exa

ISABELLAI opened my eyes to see the guy from earlier, his eyes blazing with anger as he defended me.He turned to me, his expression softening. "Are you okay?" he asked, holding out his hand.I took it, still shaken. "Yeah, I'm fine," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.In a moment of madness, I don't know what came over me, I leaned in and kissed him. The music, the chaos, everything faded into the background as our lips touched. It was like the whole world had come to a standstill.He matched my energy, his soft lips grasping mine with a gentle yet insistent intensity. I pulled him closer, my body craving more. His hand slid under my dress, his fingers tracing the curve of my hip before pressing into my ass.I hate how a jolt of pleasure rushes through my core.He stopped abruptly, and I stared into his honey-brown eyes, wondering why he had stopped.Wasn't he enjoying it? Oh. Damnit. Maybe he realized, I'm a stupid ass stranger that wants to hook up with him. “Let's go

ISABELLA"Mi Tesoro," he whispered, his deep, velvety voice filling my ears as our eyes locked.A sly smile spread across his face. "It seems like no matter how hard you try to run, you can't stay away from me," he teased, his eyes sparkling with amusement. He winked, and for a fleeting moment, I was captivated by his undeniable beauty. But I quickly shook off the feeling, reminding myself that this wasn't the time or place to acknowledge it."What are you doing here?" I asked, trying to sound nonchalant despite the alarm bells ringing in my head, as I struggled to ignore the insistent whispers of my instincts."I'm here on a date with my soon-to-be stepmom and stepsister," he said, his words dropping like a bombshell. My heart sank, plummeting to the depths of my stomach. This can't be happening. The room began to spin, and I felt like I'd been punched in the gut.He must have noticed my dishevelled expression because his brow furrowed with concern.“Is there a problem, Tesoro?” He a

ISABELLA "Is everything okay?" my mom asked, noticing my reaction as I stared at my phone. "Uh, no...nothing, Mom," I stuttered, trying to brush it off. "Just Ariana telling me some gossip about someone."She totally bought it - why wouldn't she? There was no reason for her to suspect that the person I was talking to was her own stepson. I felt a pang of guilt for even thinking of him that way; it was a harsh reminder that our world was indeed very small."Shall we get packing?" my mom asked, and before I knew it, we were done. She had packed enough for an eternity, despite insisting it was just a weekend getaway. "You never know what you might need," she always said, but I couldn't help but tease her about preparing for a permanent relocation.As the chauffeur swung open the door, I stepped out onto the driveway and was immediately struck by the grandeur of the building before me. The mansion loomed above, its towering spires and turrets reaching toward the sky like giant's fists.

ISABELLA The silence in the house was deafening, and I couldn't help but wonder where everyone was.I glanced around cautiously, ensuring I wasn't being followed, before making my way stealthily to the room I suspected belonged to Sam.Honestly, finding my way around this massive house was a total pain. It was like, a never-ending maze, and I was getting super frustrated trying to locate Sam's room.My instincts screamed that this was Sam's room. The door stood out - it was the largest I'd seen so far, and there was something enigmatic about it. I couldn't explain why, but everything about it felt off, and I was convinced that this was the room I was searching for.Just as I was about to enter, my phone's shrill ringtone pierced the air, freezing me in my tracks. I muttered a curse under my breath as I glanced at the screen to see who was calling at such an inconvenient time.The sight of Ariana's name on my screen slightly cleared the fog from my mind. I hesitated for a moment, wond
