All Chapters of A Naughty Christmas Affair: Fake Dating My Ex Brothers : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Autumn I stumble back, almost losing my balance from the force of the collision. Before I go down, a hand reaches out to catch me, setting me back upright. I look up to see who I ran into and my eyes wide as I recognize Elijah, one of Raymond’s older brothers.My heart stutters in my chest at the sight of him.He’s so tall now that I have to crane my neck to look up at him, and there’s a scar that cuts across his eyebrow down to his cheek. He’s still stupidly handsome with those piercing blue eyes and his neat brown hair, and he fills out the slacks and sweater he’s wearing nicely with his lean, muscled build.One of his hands grips my arm tightly, and my eyes are drawn down to where the other one is shuddering just a bit.I know he was injured during his time in the army, stationed overseas. He was honorably discharged several years ago, but I didn’t expect to see him back here.His hand is warm where it grips at me, and I have to swallow hard at the flash of heat it sends through

Autumn Shock makes me go still, and I glance quickly between Luke, Elijah, and Benedict. Because they’re the ones who spoke up. And considering how tense things are between them, I’m guessing it wasn’t a coordinated thing. They just all spoke up at the same time. To say they’re dating me.What the hell is going on?The table is silent, everyone looking as shocked as I feel.Raymond’s eyes are wide, and he also looks between his brothers, shaking his head. “Wait, what? You… you’re dating my brothers? All three of them?”God, I hate this. I feel caught, pinned underneath the silence and the stares from everyone else at the table. I have no idea what to say now.I had no idea they were going to speak up and say what they just said. I don’t know what they’re doing. I just wanted to save face in front of Raymond and not have to deal with the terrible, condescending pity in his voice when he talked about me not having anyone.A glance at his three older brother confirms that none of them

Benedict Autumn is soft in my arms. That’s the first thing I notice. She’s soft, and she smells good.I press my lips to hers, and she stiffens in surprise. One of her hands is on my chest, and I wonder if she’s going to push me away. That would put a damper on this whole thing for sure.But she doesn’t. She makes a soft, surprised noise, her eyes flaring in shock. I don’t move away though. I keep kissing her, letting my fingers slide into her hair, trying to coax her with my body to play along.Bit by bit, she gives in to it. She slowly starts to melt against me, the soft curves of her body pressing into mine. Her lips soften, and I grip her hair loosely, deepening the kiss a little.Autumn goes with it, kissing me back.It feels good. Kissing always does, when you do it right, and Autumn is nice to kiss. Better than nice, even. But at the same time, I have to wonder what the fuck I’m doing.There have been a bunch of moments like that in my life. Where I got caught up in the impu

Autumn “Um, hi,” I say. “Come in.”I step back to usher them inside, hoping none of my neighbors are looking out the window right now.Somehow, the three of them in the entryway makes the house feel even smaller. They’re so tall and beefy that it’s as if my house shrinks in proportion to them. I’m very aware of them glancing around the place, taking it all in.My stomach flips again, wondering if they think it’s small or cheap, and I’m suddenly acutely conscious that it’s mostly decorated with stuff I found at thrift shops and the local buy/sell groups.“I know it’s not much,” I say automatically. “But I bought it right after Raymond and I broke up and I had to get my own place. And now most of my money goes back into the bakery, so it’s…” I shrug and gesture. “It is what it is. So… yeah.”God, I’m nervous, and that makes it hard for me to stop talking. It’s embarrassing, standing here making excuses for the house I live in, when it serves me well enough. I spend so many hours at the
