All Chapters of My Alpha Stepfather's Dirty Secret: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 11Aria's POVWhen my fingers reached the slick heat between my legs I gasped because I was so swollen, so sensitive, that just the lightest touch made my hips jerk off the mattress. I was drenched. Not just wet but completely soaked, so when I parted my folds with two fingers the sound it made in the quiet room was obscene.I pressed my middle finger against my clit. My back arched as I turned my face into the pillow, breathing his name. Kael. Just the shape of it in my mouth made the heat spread deeper.I started slow. Circling my clit the way his thumb had, trying to match that same devastating pressure, that same deliberate rhythm that had made my vision blur in the kitchen. But my fingers were smaller, lighter, nowhere close to enough. I was already so wound up that the teasing only made it worse.I pushed two fingers inside myself, moaning into the pillow. I was still stretched, still sensitive from his hand, so the slide was effortless, all the way to the knuckle. I cur

Chapter 13Kael's POVI turned on my heel‚ crossed the study in four long strides‚ shoved through the bathroom door‚ and slammed it shut behind me.I looked wrecked. My eyes were too dark‚ more wolf than human‚ the grey almost entirely swallowed by blown-out pupils. My jaw was clenched so tight the muscles in my neck were corded and visible. My t-shirt was damp with sweat across the chest and under the arms. The front of my pajama pants was obscenely tented with a wet spot the size of my palm where my cock had been leaking since the kitchen.I looked like exactly what I was‚ a man hanging onto his self-control by his fucking fingernails.Her scent followed me in here. Of course it did. It had saturated the entire east wing by now‚ seeping through every crack and gap in the bathroom door‚ filling the small space until every breath I took was nothing but Aria. "You shouldn't be doing this‚" I told my reflection as I stared at the mirror. My voice was wrecked. "You know you shouldn't b

Chapter 15Aria's POVThe inside of Kael's car smelled like him and I was painfully aware of every inch of space between us as he pulled out of the driveway and turned onto the main road without a word.I sat there for a while‚ watching the houses blur past my window‚ listening to the hum of the engine and the soft click of his turn signal and absolutely nothing else. The silence was suffocating. It pressed against my skin and filled my lungs and made the fifteen-minute drive feel like it was going to last the rest of my life.I broke the silence first. Of course I did."So‚" I said‚ keeping my voice light. "Did you sleep at all?"Nothing. His eyes stayed on the road‚ his hands steady on the wheel‚ his face completely blank like I hadn't made a sound."Mom's really committing to the whole perfect wife thing‚ huh?" I tried again. "The flowers were a nice touch. Very Pinterest."Nothing."I have your class second period today. Just so you know. In case you wanted to mentally prepare fo

Chapter 17Aria's POVBy lunchtime I was sitting in the campus courtyard with Silvia‚ picking at a sandwich I didn't want‚ when Jace Thornton dropped into the chair across from us like he'd been invited."Ladies‚" he said‚ grinning that easy golden-boy grin of his as he stretched his long legs out under the table and leaned back in his chair like he owned the whole courtyard. "You both look way too serious for a Tuesday.""Maybe because it is a Tuesday‚" Silvia said."Exactly. Hump day. You're supposed to be happy. It's all downhill from here."Silvia rolled her eyes at me but she was smiling. Everyone smiled around Jace. It was annoying and also kind of the point of him. He was tall and broad-shouldered with dark hair that always looked like he'd just run his hands through it and warm brown eyes and this lazy‚ confident energy that made you feel like nothing in the world was that serious. He was the kind of guy who'd crack a joke at a funeral and somehow make it appropriate."You loo

Chapter 19Kael's POVI forced my face to remain an expressionless mask.That was the only thing I had left. The carefully constructed exterior of a man who didn't care‚ who wasn't affected‚ who could stand in his own foyer and watch a twenty-two-year-old Silvercrest boy put his hand on the small of his stepdaughter's back and feel absolutely nothing.But inside‚ my wolf was losing its mind‚ clawing at my chest with everything it had‚ snarling so loud inside my skull that I could barely hear Diane's voice chattering away next to me about warrior families and pack unity and whatever else she was saying that I couldn't process because every single cell in my body was focused on one thing and one thing only.His hand. On her back. On my girl's back.Jace Thornton. Of course it was Jace Thornton.I'd been watching this kid circle Aria for weeks. Every single class‚ every single lecture‚ he'd find a way to sit next to her‚ lean toward her‚ whisper something that made her smile or roll her
