All Chapters of My Stepbrothers’ Plus-sized Obsession : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

MELANIE Brandon paces to and fro in our bedroom. I can see him fuming, feel the heat from his rage as he looks at me with disdain. My toes curl on top of the scale. We’ve had this routine for months now. He feeds me grass like I’m livestock, forces me to run at early and odd hours of the morning with his car tailing me, then we check the scales at the end of the month. “I cannot believe this shit,” he rubs his chin over and over. “You didn’t only not drop a single digit, you also increased! By five!”Tears rush down my eyes. I try so hard to blink them away, but they wouldn’t go. “I’m sorry.” I blurt out. Deep down, I’m not sure why I’m sorry. Is it for gaining weight? Is it for not being able to lose it? Is it for not being the sexy girl I was when he married me? For having our daughter? All of these are grave offenses I have committed. “Look at you! You’re like a fucking pig!”I swallow hard. “What?”He glares at me. “You heard me right. It’s been five, five fucking yea

MELANIE Val looks irritated as he drives. He has every right to. Not only did I cut his… really fun activity short, I also made him drive this far out, and now there’s going to be blood all over his expensive suit jacket—which smells so freaking good! My fingers wrap around the edges as I pull it over my body, slowly inhaling his scent. I can’t take my eyes off the rearview mirror. Pen is asleep in my arms, but all my focus is on him, and the tattoos that crawl from the back of his left ear, disappearing under the collar of his shirt. What does he look like shirtless? His eyes meet mine, and I tear my gaze off him, heat flooding my cheeks. He looks really different, but in all good ways. His jet black hair is no longer there, but the bald look only adds a dangerous edge to him. And the way he flexes his tattooed fingers over the steering wheel, again and again…I swallow the rock in my throat. My back rests against the leather seat, and my eyelids gently close for a brief r

MELANIE “I thought you said they’ll be spending the night outside.” I shoot Val an accusatory look. Was this his plan all along? To have me cornered here?“Let’s just say our spidey senses began to tingle. Told us something fun was happening, and we…weren’t invited,” Xavier replies.I can’t help but notice how much he’s grown taller, and bigger, and…hotter. The length of his blonde hair is in a neat bun behind his head. His ocean blue eyes sparkle with mischief as he walks towards me. In his bright red shirt and matching suit pants, he stands tall, muscles pleading to be set free. Unlike Val and Cassian, he is still free of any tattoos. He was always vain about his looks. Some things never change. Cassian follows beside him, jet black hair slicked back, green eyes never leaving me—not even for a second. I’m like a baby lamb surrounded by really hungry wolves. I swallow hard, slowly moving backwards. I shouldn’t be here. If anything, this proves to me that I was right; coming
