All Chapters of Hot For My New Stepbrother : Chapter 41 - Chapter 47

Aurelia To say I was confused was putting it mildly. My body still throbbed from the car, slick and sensitive between my legs, but my head hurt worse, pounding with the impossible fact that Chase had paid my Underwood tuition from freshman year straight through to graduation.Not just tuition.He’d also pulled strings to get me into the Underwood Pine Fellowship, the one program I’d dreamed about since sophomore year, the one I’d never even applied for because the odds were impossible.How he knew. How he’d done it. I had no idea.I sat rigid in the passenger seat while my mother drove us to the wedding planner, her manicured nails tapping the wheel like she was counting down to detonation.My phone buzzed on my lap. She snatched it before my fingers could close around it.Her eyes widened, then narrowed to slits.“Oh, you didn’t.” The words hissed out like steam. She jerked the wheel, tires screeching as she pulled over hard enough to throw me against the seat belt.She twisted towa

You can spend the night in my room if your mother is what you’re worried about.”I sighed, swallowed the lump in my throat, and blew out a shaky breath. The words slipped out before I could cage them.“So we’re just going to pretend I’m not pregnant?”They flew so fast, sharp, and unfiltered that by the time I noticed the figure standing a few yards away, frozen mid-step, it was too late to snatch them back.Cassie.She stared at me with wide
