Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Three Step-Uncles Want Me (The Alcatraz Brothers): Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

LILYKen and I avoided one another like a plague for the next two days. His parents' anniversary has wrapped up and in a grand way with me as the object of ridicule. Ken had gone to church, like always and once again I was left with his brother.The kitchen smelt like fried onions and soap, a perfect mix to mirror my activity. Cooking and cleaning simultaneously.Well cleaning now since I had rounded up cooking and needed to tidy up the whole mess I made before getting the food ready.My hands moved on their own, folding the dish towel, rinsing a plate, doing everything except thinking about how still it was.Then I heard footsteps behind me that were slow and at the pace that I didn’t have to turn to know it was Kieran.He lingered in the doorway for a moment before coming in, I pretended not to notice his entrance at first, drying my hands on my apron.“You’ve been quiet,” he said finally, leaning against the counter. His voice was calm, but I could sense something underneath it.“

LILY*Trigger Warning: Forced sex scene at the end of this chapter*I didn’t ask where and he didn’t tell me.I just hopped into the car and he drove us out of the estate, with the windows down and the wind loosening a few strands of my hair.It felt good. We didn’t talk at all during the drive though he kept glancing at me like he wanted to, like words sat on his tongue but he didn’t trust them.When we stopped in front of an exquisite boutique, I blinked at him. “You brought me here to shop?”His lips twitched with a smile. “You don’t sound so excited.”“I am, just didn’t peg you as the type to care about dresses.”“I don’t,” he said, cutting the engine. “But I care about you looking like yourself again.”We walked inside and I walked between racks of color. My fingertips brushed different dresses. He followed close behind, watching me as I picked up different dresses.The colors were so bright that it brightened my mood as well. I tried on the dresses one after the other coming ou

LILYBy the next morning, Ken and I had been as chatty as roommates who hated themselves.I made quick work of breakfast before we settled down like two people pretending that we weren’t just enduring each other’s presence.Then suddenly he cleared his throat before speaking. “My parents wanted to see us that evening.”The sound of his voice had felt like it was coming from far away, but I nodded once, choosing to focus on the way steam curled off my tea.He tried again. “How are you feeling today?”The spoon in my hand clinked loudly against the edge of the cup. I took a sip despite my tea being too hot. “Fine.”He gave me a shallow smile. “You’ve been quiet lately.”“I’m always quiet.”Why did he bother with small talk?He let out a small laugh and went back to eating. I could tell he wanted to keep talking and perform his concern the way he performed affection in public but had chosen to chew his egg instead.I finished my food slowly, ignoring the elephant between us, full of thin

LILYI was sitting on the couch, pretending to scroll through my phone though my hands were shaking when I heard the sound of his car pulling into the driveway and my stomach dropped. I stood too quickly, smoothing down my shirt even though there wasn’t much to smooth. The door swung open before I could even breathe right.He stopped when he saw me. His eyes dragged over my clothes and his expression twisted.“Is that what you’re wearing?” he asked, disdain etched in every syllable. His eyes scanned me like I’d committed a crime just by existing.I swallowed. “Yes. You said to get ready.”“I said we’re going out for dinner, Lily. Not…” He scoffed, “…not a church service.”I blinked, trying not to fidget. “You didn’t say it was a date.”He tilted his head, looking at me like I’d just said something stupid. “What else would it be? You think I buy flowers for anyone else?”“You didn’t tell me it was…” I started, but he cut me off.“Don’t play dumb with me.”“I… you don’t need one,” I mu

LILYKieran’s lips met mine in a passionate kiss, his voice was thick with longing as he whispered, “I have missed you so much, Lily. More than you can imagine.” His fingers traced the straps of my nightgown, gently pulling them down, and I could barely catch my breath as the fabric slipped off my shoulders, pooling at my waist. “I missed you too,” I managed to whisper back, my voice trembling with anticipation. Kieran’s eyes roamed over my bare skin, his gaze was intense and hungry.He leaned in and his lips found my neck, kissing and nipping at the sensitive flesh. I gasped, my head fell back to give him better access. His hands cupped my breasts and his thumbs circled my nipples, sending jolts of pleasure straight to my core. “Kieran,” I moaned.“Spread your legs for me,” he commanded softly, his voice laced with desire. I complied, my legs falling open, exposing myself to him. He kissed a path down my body, his lips trailed fire across my skin. When he reached my breasts, he took
