The Stepbrother I Crave のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Sophia thought her dad’s wedding felt like the longest far-away wedding ever planned. It was her own careful work, and she had no regrets about how long it lasted. The real wedding ceremony was still a week away. Right now the big house was full of close friends and family. Other guests would arrive a day before the wedding, while some would show up on the last day.It surprised Sophia how much she had started to depend on Julian. It happened slowly, without her noticing, until the need grew strong. Now that she saw it clearly, it felt too late to change anything. Truthfully, she did not even want to try.As Julian watched Sophia walk out of the house, a sudden wave of worry washed over him. It was very hard to sit there and look for a reason to follow her. He was messed up in more ways than one.He knew she was struggling. It was not easy for her to forget everything and act normal. Arthur, being older and more experienced, could perhaps let go of his past and not care as much. But

As the sound of the door clicking shut echoed through the room, Sophia’s heart pounded wildly against her ribs. Each breath felt heavy, her palms grew damp with sweat, and her throat turned dry. Nervous energy fluttered inside her.Yes, she was anxious.Yet beneath the nerves, absolute certainty filled her. Every part of her being knew that choosing Julian was the only choice that truly mattered.There was no one else in the entire world she craved. From the very start, it had always been Julian, and it would always remain him.He moved behind her, his arm slipping around her waist and pulling her back against the solid warmth of his chest. She could feel his hardness pressing into her spine, causing the temperature between them to climb rapidly.“How much can you take?” he whispered, pressing a kiss to her earlobe before trailing his lips down her neck. He covered her skin with possessive kisses, leaving deep marks that would linger for days.“I don’t want you to hold anything back,”

Sophia had been fooling herself by believing Julian would somehow switch off his desire tonight. It appeared such a button simply did not exist in him, or if it did, it had clearly stopped working. She found it almost impossible to comprehend the man’s endurance; he operated like a tireless machine—fierce, powerful, and seemingly impossible to exhaust.She had lost track of how many times she had reached her peak, yet this man had only climaxed once. Within just five minutes, he was ready to overwhelm her again, this time without any protection, and that particular round was still not finished.He was truly devouring her, seizing every chance he could find.“Damn, you smell incredible,” he growled, trailing kisses down her neck. His hands gripped both sides of her hips, pinning her firmly to the mattress while he drove deep inside her. He buried himself to the hilt with every thrust, making certain she felt every single inch.He certainly knew more than one way to push her beyond reas

“When are you coming back?” Sophia texted the devil while sitting on the sofa in the living room with her father and Maya.“I’m on my way. Five minutes at most,” came the swift reply.“Good! I want you in my room the moment you arrive, okay?”“Don’t do that. I can’t walk into your dad’s mansion with a hard-on. He’ll throw me out.”“Would you like to see me in red?” She fought back a smile as she sent him a photo of herself wearing a red bikini.“You little troublemaker, you’re in for a punishment.”“Can’t wait for it. Hurry up, sir.” With that, she set the phone aside.Gosh, she loved teasing him! “You’d better not be late,” she muttered under her breath.“What did you say, Sophia?” Her quiet words caught Maya’s attention, and her father looked suspicious.“Oh, I was just talking to myself. I ordered something online, and I’m hoping it arrives soon,” she said with a nervous laugh.“What did you order?” her dad asked, raising an eyebrow.“Is that really important, Dad?!”“Of course it

As Arthur knocked on the door, there was no response. The heavy silence coming from inside the room only deepened the uneasy knot twisting in Sophia’s stomach. She wasn’t sure what she should do. If her father weren’t standing there, she might have pushed the door open without hesitation.He was a grown man, perfectly capable of managing his own feelings, so why did she feel so worried? Why did she have this powerful urge to comfort him, even when she wasn’t certain he wanted her help?Damn it. She had never expected to fall for him this deeply. It felt crazy. She was being driven to the edge of insanity.“Julian, I know you’re in there. Please, just open the door, okay?” Arthur asked.Once again, there was no answer from Julian.“Julian?”Was he even inside?“Man, open the door. This is my house!”Sophia’s eyes widened, and she instinctively slapped her father’s arm. “Dad! You can’t handle this the way you handle our arguments. He’s not your child, for God’s sake!” she whispered urg
