The Love of a Stepbrother 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 27

Simone didn’t know what shifted between William and her in the elevator, when they got to the hotel… But one moment, she was ready to call it a night, and the next, William was lifting her up to meet his ravenous kiss.She didn’t stop kissing him until he began to fumble with the key, as he tried to open the door of his room.“You’re driving me crazy,” he all but growled out the words. “Do you have any idea of the effect you have on me?”Simone kept on kissing his throat, and basically wherever she could reach, wondering if he had any idea of the effect he had on her.After a moment, William finally managed to unlock the door, and they stumbled inside, still wrapped up in each other, totally in their own bubble. He kicked the door closed behind them, and without delay, pressed Simone up against it. His lips finding hers again in a searing kiss was everything she needed, and then some.Simone could only moan into his mouth, as his hands roamed her body, in the hungriest way known to ma

Before long, it was time for Simone and William to go back to their busy schedules.

The storm indeed came. And it had a name too. Liam Stone was William’s uncle, and if the latter had nerves of steel, the former was a man who had infuriating retorts.His eyes, the same shade of brown as William, lacked warmth.
