All Chapters of Sins of the Family: Falling for my Step-Uncle: Chapter 11 - Chapter 15

Ugh, it had been a long day. All I wanted to do was pour a glass of wine and take a long hot bath. Unfortunately, my mother had already called me three times to remind me about dinner at her place. So, there was no getting out of it. She did, at least, promise that she hadn’t invited some guy from her country club or nephew of one of her doctors to join us. So that made the evening less daunting at least.So, I went home, changed into something casual. Choosing a pair of jeans and comfortable top that Mom always said brought out the blue in my eyes. I pulled my hair down and got rid of the glasses that were only meant for work. Christina sent a message that she was going out with some coworkers, so I took Aldo for a walk before heading over to Mom’s.I pulled up to the gate of the private parking deck at Dimitri’s luxury apartment complex. I scanned the card Mom had given me to access the place and waved to the guard on duty. Dimitri had offered me my own apartment in this same buildi

I was about to ask what he was saying when I heard my mother’s laughter coming back inside. My cheeks flushed bright red as I scrambled to get away from him. I stumbled back around the corner and into the kitchen.“There you are, honey,” Mom said. “Come outside.”“Um…” I swallowed and cleared my throat, suddenly very desperate to get out of there. “Um… I think I’m going to call it a night.

You can stay here if…”“I’ll be fine, Mom.”“I’ll drive her,” Sylas said, coming from a different hallway.My head snapped toward him. “What?”“You’ve had quite a bit to drink,” he said. “I’ll drive you home.”“That’s not…”“Aren’t you the sweetest,” Mom cut me off. “Let me grab your stepfather so you can say goodbye.”I made my goodbyes as quickly as possible. I even tried to slip out while Sylas was preoccupied but he managed to step into the elevator just as the doors were closing.“You really don’t…”He silenced my

I laid over Sawyer, careful not to put my full weight on her, until my breathing settled enough to move. Repositioning, I laced my fingers with hers, leaning in to trail kisses along her shoulder.“Where’s your bedroom?” I asked gently.I managed to decipher a soft laugh. “It’s a little late for that question, don’t you think?”I returned the chuckle. “Sawyer, where’s your bedroom?” I asked again. “The night’s not over yet, baby girl.”Sawyer groaned but waved a hand. “Mine is the master,” she indicated. “Off the living room.”She hissed as I pulled out of her. Before she could move, I scooped her up into my arms, carrying her past the stairwell to the door behind the couch. The way Sawyer laid her head on my shoulder, I almost didn’t want to put her down. Still, I managed to make out where her bed was in the ambient light of the room and placed her down. Leaning in to kiss her as I pulled the blankets down.“Mmmm…” she hummed in contentment.“I’ll be right back,” I told her.“Mhmm,”
