In Heat For My Stepbrother
It was over before I could even scream.
Maximilian turned to me, his towering frame blocking the sight of my uncle’s limp body. My heart pounded in my chest as he leaned down slightly, taking my hand into his and slowly taking me back into the house.
“Since you asked me to save you, I am your protector,” he said, his voice low and steady as he glanced over his shoulder at me, “And what I protect becomes my possession, Bella.”
My name sounded so soft, so intimate on his lips. My heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, I forgot how to breathe. I never felt that way before.
