Claiming His Stepmother
"I wanted to get you alone for a moment. I know I’m practically part of the family already, but I wanted to ask for your blessing. Formally."
I blink, stunned. "My blessing?"
"Yes," she says with a sincere, wide-eyed smile.
"You’re the mistress of this house now. You’re Ethan’s stepmother. It’s important to me that you approve of our union. I want us to be more than just in-laws, Zora. I want us to be friends. The Reynolds wives... we have to stick together, don't we?"
The guilt hits me like a physical blow to the stomach.
Here she is, offering me sisterhood and respect, while I spent the last hour trying not to climax in front of her.
