All Chapters of My Stepbrothers Dirty Little Secrets : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Avery “Go meet that guy sitting there and ask him for one night,” I stared at Mia, wondering if the tequila had finally gotten into her head. Around us, the masked bar pulsed with loud music, flashing lights, and the blurred voices of people who had come here to forget themselves for the night. Mia, however, looked completely serious as she pointed toward the man sitting alone at the other end of the bar, his face hidden behind a black mask. “You can’t back down now," she said, tugging me roughly from the chair. Normally, I would have laughed at a dare like that. Tonight, though, I wasn't exactly myself. I'd spent the evening drinking because I didn't know what else to do after seeing Chase leave with another girl. Again. After seven years of being his best friend, I had finally worked up the courage to tell him how I felt about him, only to watch him walk away with one of the girls he was currently seeing. That was Chase. He never stayed with one girl for long. And apparently

Avery Today was finally the weekend, the day I was supposed to be meeting Chase’s dad with Chase. My suitcase stood beside me while I waited at Dallas airport, and for some reason, I couldn't stop feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. I had actually chosen to go to Dallas with Chase instead of following my mother to another wedding, which still sounded ridiculous whenever I thought about it. But after everything that had happened, I wanted to see where this was going. I was still thinking about it when my phone buzzed. I glanced at the screen and opened his message, expecting something sweet, but my expression immediately fell. I’m sorry I won’t be picking you up at the airport. I sent someone. Piper and I made up, and I have to show her around Dallas. Let’s go out later. I stared at the message, reading it twice just to make sure I hadn't misunderstood. Piper. Of course. I rolled my eyes and let my head fall back against the chair. Piper was Chase's first l

Avery By the time we returned to the house after the wedding, I still hadn't processed what had happened. I barely said a word during the drive, and the moment I got upstairs I disappeared into my new room and shut the door behind me. I sat on the edge of my bed with my phone pressed against my ear, staring at the wall as Mia's shocked voice came through the speaker. "What?! Are you for real? Chase is your stepbrother? That's unbelievable!" "I really can't believe this," I whispered, my voice cracking. "How on earth is Chase my stepbrother? How is the man my mom married Chase's dad?" The more I said it, the more impossible it sounded, and a sob escaped me before I could stop it. "How am I supposed to live in the same house as my crush, Mia? How am I supposed to survive this?" I tried to laugh through the tears, but nothing about this was funny anymore. I had spent years wishing I could get closer to Chase, and now that fate had granted my wish, it had done it in the most horrify

Avery"Let's get you changed immediately," Zane said, swinging off his bike.Before I could process what he meant, he lunged toward me, scooped me into his arms, and carried me bridal-style."What are you doing?" I snapped, grabbing his shoulders. "Put me down."He ignored me completely, walking toward the house."Your dad and my mom are in there," I hissed."Who cares?" He smirked and pushed through the door.My mother's eyes widened the second she saw us. She nearly dropped the bread in her hand, the knife hovering over the jam as she stared at Zane carrying me like some runaway bride."What's going on?" she asked slowly.Mr. Charles barely looked up from his plate. "It's good," he said casually. "They're getting to know each other, I think."I wanted the floor to open beneath me. Brandon looked over, that familiar mischievous grin spreading across his face."You've moved to the other brother now," he said bluntly.I glared at him, ready to jump out of Zane's arms just to shut him u

Avery"This is crazy," I mouthed."What's crazy is you acting like you've suddenly hit amnesia," he said, pressing closer until I could feel the heat off his body."I swear I didn't write that!" Panic tightened my chest."Then who did?" His eyes narrowed. "You take me for a fool?" He pulled my legs closer around his waist, his face inches from mine. I felt his breath against my skin and turned away."I got it from a girl," I rushed out. "She asked me to give it to you. I didn't write it. I swear."He lifted a finger to his lips. "Shhh." His eyes stayed fixed on mine. "Stop lying. I can see right through you. Ever since you saw me naked, you haven't been able to think straight, right? There's nothing wrong with liking two brothers.""Just stop!" I pushed against him. He only held me tighter."Who says I want you? I don't," I snapped.He gave me a knowing look. "That's a lie. There's no girl alive who can resist me. Every girl wants a taste, and you do too." His hand lifted toward my f
