Все главы Sins of the Family: Falling for my Step-Uncle: Глава 31 - Глава 40

My hand moved without thinking. Grabbing Sawyer’s hair at the base of her skull as my anger flashed.“Don’t fucking say that,” I snapped, pulling her against my roughly. “Don’t ever fucking say that. That is not what this is, Sawyer. That’s never what this has been. You know that.”“And how do I know that?” she replied, her anger coming out eerily calm. “For all I know, this is your way of screwing your brother over. You know, fuck his step-daughter to ruin his relationship with his new wife. That wou…”My other hand went over her mouth to shut her up. “Stop it, Sawyer,” I ordered. “You’re playing a game that I won’t tolerate. If you have a problem with how I work, we’ll discuss that but you’re not going to cheapen what’s between us with crude allegations.”I pushed her away. Forcing a hand through my hair as I tried to calm down. I honestly couldn’t tell if she believed what she just said or if it was only said out of anger. I didn’t know how she could doubt what I felt for her. Afte

I stood there awkwardly for a moment as Sylas left me holding our lunch to get the rest of the groceries. My face flushed and I got my feet to move, tugging at the shirt hem as I went to the dining room. I set out the food while they put groceries away in the kitchen. I listened intently for some conversation about me being whispered under their breath, but all I heard was silly bickering. Like you would hear between siblings or cousins.I jumped suddenly when they returned to the dining room. I pretended to make myself busy before taking a seat. Sylas set a glass in front of me, taking the seat next to me as he and Carla continued to converse.“I’m just saying, the next time you invite me to take down a dynasty, do the shopping first,” Carla stated, giving me a wink across the table.“Forgive me for being a bit distracted,” Sylas said. “It’s not like I’ve been here long.”“Mhmmm,” Carla replied. “I think we know what has had you so distracted.”My cheeks flushed again. The conversati

I cursed my brother when the alarm went off at five the next morning. Sawyer groaned and waved to turn it off. I hit the button and rolled back over, pulling Sawyer back into my arms. I had absolutely no interest in listening to that damn alarm. Not when Sawyer was pressed up against me, head on my arm, still naked after I’d fucked her to sleep last night. My body woke up as I remembered the experience.My hand trailed down Sawyer’s side, following the curve of her hip and around the globe of her ass. Dipping down to the most perfect place on earth. Her breathing hitched as I slipped through her folds, becoming slick in seconds. I was more than ready for the response. Positioning myself at her entrance, I pushed inside her. Her gasp quickly turned to a moan, echoed by my groan as I marveled at how perfectly she enveloped my cock.“Sylas…” she breathed as she woke.“Sshhh…”I turned her face toward me, kissing her as I pushed in again. She gripped my arm as she arched toward me, giving

I was far more distracted on Monday morning than I should have been. It felt strange waking up again without Sylas after he had left, but it was a good thing. I needed to be able to keep my normal schedule. My normal life. So, I got up, took some time to clean up the house, then decided to take Arlo for a walk to the dog park. I was throwing the ball for him when a text message came in. It was Sylas. Telling me that something had come up that he had to take care of and that he’d try to see me that evening.I was a little disappointed, but didn’t think anything of it. Until the sun set and I still hadn’t heard from him again. I didn’t want to hound him and I didn’t want to come across as clingy. So, I didn’t message him, even though I was kind of dying to. I finally admitted that I was being crazy and ridiculous to expect him to tell me everything he’s doing. So, I got ready for bed and went to sleep.When I woke up, I finally had a message from Sylas. All it said was, “Sorry. Got caug

With a tip of my head and a tug on my suit, I fell into step with Charles. He led me back toward the elevator. Hitting the button, we waited in silence. I tried to read his mood, but he was guarded. Perhaps even more guarded than usual. Something was certainly on his mind. When the doors opened, we stepped inside.“So, how have your inquiries been going?” he asked when we were alone in the elevator. “Finding everything to your satisfaction.”“I haven’t found anything alarming thus far,” I lied. “You’ve been doing an impressive job.”“Oh, I can’t take credit for all of it,” Charles feigned humility. “Dimitri has run the show far longer than I have.”“Really? From what I’ve heard, he’s rarely here,” I commented.“A recent development,” Charles stated. “His new wife has had him thinking about early retirement. Speaking of Dimitri and his new wife… it seems her daughter has infiltrated our ranks.”“He mentioned that yesterday morning.” I stated, my focus sharp as I prepared to gauge his r
