All Chapters of Hot For My New Stepbrother : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“You’re five minutes late,” my mother snapped the moment I reached her. I wiped sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand. “I’m late because when you said the fifth store, you didn’t specify if it was on the left or right side of the avenue.” I resisted the urge to grab her shoulders and shake her until she saw what she was doing to me, what she’d been doing for months. She stepped closer, lifting one perfectly arched brow in that menacing way she’d perfected over the years. “Are you talking back to me?” I sighed, exhaustion weighing every word. “Mum, you spoke to me first. Were you not expecting a reply?” Her eyes narrowed to slits. “I think it’s time I taught you a lesson. It’s lomg overdue.” Before I could react, her hand clamped around my upper arm, and she started dragging me. The storekeeper and two attendants didn’t even blink. They kept polishing rings and rearranging necklaces as if a mother hauling her adult daughter through the store happened everyday.

Aurelia I didn’t even get the door cracked open before he caught me. One second my fingers were on the knob, the next his arm banded around my waist like iron, yanking me back against his chest. I was small in his hold, too small, and I cursed whatever cruel fate decided five-foot-five was tall enough to fight a man built like him.“I’ve told you a hundred times, Aurelia,” he murmured against my ear, his breath hot, his voice low and dangerous. “Anywhere that isn’t by my side, you’re not allowed to be.”The words triggered a shameful flood of heat between my legs even as my heart hammered with panic.“Please, Chase.” I twisted, my voice cracking. “Let me go. I have to go now. You’re already betrothed to Amy, why won’t you just let me leave? This is my last chance.”His chest rose and fell fast against my back, too fast. Like he’d run up the stairs. Like he was still hurting from whatever his father had done to him earlier.He spun me so fast the hallway blurred. Suddenly I was facin

Aurelia Going back to school after everything felt like stepping into a guillotine. I almost turned around at the lecture room door. The hallway buzzed with students, but their eyes followed me, their whispers, the sneers and smirks.I kept my head down, hood up, heart hammering like it wanted out of my chest. But even that could not save me.Inside the room, Cassie sat in a different spot. There was no empty seat beside her, which was weird. Cassie always saved a spot for me. There was no wave from her either. Something was wrong.I walked over anyway, dropped my bag on her desk, and touched her shoulder.“Hey, Cassie. It’s been so—”She brushed my bag aside. It hit the floor with a dull thud at the feet of the guy next to her.Confusion slammed into me like cold water.“Cassie, what’s going on?”She didn’t look at me..She simply lifted her phone and shoved it in my face.The photo filled the screen. Chase kneeling between my legs on the pool ledge. My thighs wrapped around his head

Aurelia I clutched the ruined dress to my chest like a shield, the fabric bunched against my breasts, the torn seams mocking me. My arms trembled. I didn’t know which part of myself to cover first, my nipples, already tight from the cold air and his stare, or the slick heat between my thighs that betrayed me every time he looked at me like that.Chase sat on the low sofa like he owned the changing room, his legs spread wide, elbows braced on his knees. His shirt was unbuttoned halfway, sleeves rolled to his forearms, the bruises on his throat and chest still dark and ugly under the soft light. He looked dangerous. Beautiful. And completely in control.His eyes never left my face, but I felt them everywhere, tracing the curve of my throat, the swell of my breasts, the dip of my waist, the place where my thighs pressed together in a useless attempt to hide how wet I already was.“You have five seconds, Aurelia,” he said, each word measured like a countdown. “Or I’ll fuck you so hard

AureliaThe bedroom door slammed shut behind us with enough force to rattle the framed art on the wall.Chase didn’t bother with the lights. Moonlight sliced through the half-open curtains in silver blades, catching the water still clinging to his skin from the shower he’d barely finished. He looked like he was carved from shadow. His muscles were taut, and his cock was already thickening again between his thighs.He backed me against the nearest wall before I could draw a full breath.There were no words or warning before his mouth sealed over the side of my neck, his teeth sinking into the soft flesh just below my ear. The bite was sharp, sudden, a bright pain that bloomed into molten heat that shot straight between my legs. I gasped, my hands flying to his shoulders, my nails digging in deep enough to draw twin red crescents.He groaned against my skin, the sound vibrating through me like a second heartbeat.“I’m marking you because I want everyone to see the hickey,” he rasped
