Novel & Cerita Vacation With My Stepmom

“aren't you? You got me to sign, so are we finally at peace? Can I hug my brother without the urge to stab him in the back?” “Xander…” I parted my lips to speak, but absolutely no words came out. Just practiced gibberish that only made my insides flare up with anxiety. “I….” “If you have a question, take it up with me.” Xavier finished up for me. “We might not be on hugging terms yet, but I know just the trick. We're going back to Redmoon.” “Wait?” The question tumbled past my lips faster than I could catch it. “What?!”

. --- Chapter 15: Stranger in the shadow The message on Isla’s phone burned in her mind like a brand. She read it again and again, chest tightening with a rising panic she couldn’t shake. She left more than a will. You’re not the only one she marked. —E That name. Ethan. The man she hadn’t thought about in years. Her mother’s second husband. The almost-stepfather who vanished without a word after the funeral, leaving behind silence thick with unanswered questions.

The next few days in my room , since it was the weekend , it was better that I didn’t step out. I didn’t want to run into my step brothers in any way so I was doing all that I could to avoid them . Mom told me that she was coming today and I still wonder why she isn’t here yet. I understand the fact that she and my step dad always have stuff going on with them but I too wanted to see my mother . I knew it would take a long , but I could care less , I just want her to be home already .

We just looked at one another in the moonlight, allowing the enormity of what had just happened to sink in. He kissed me again, then hugged me and helped me to my feet, pulling my jeans up as he did so. From that moment, the prospect of spending another couple of days out in the wilderness with him didn’t seem quite so unappealing. My mom was a sound sleeper, and my stepdad was quite clearly a lot more fun that I had ever realised.

She moved toward the stairs gracefully, leaving both Christian and Rose momentarily speechless. As soon as she was gone, I let out a slow breath and turned toward my father. “Maybe if you treated her well, she wouldn’t need to be making appointments with a doctor at all.” Christian’s eyes narrowed. “Hunter, you shouldn’t concern yourself with the affairs of my wife. That’s not your business.” I leaned back in my chair, matching his glare. “It is my business. She’s my stepmother, after all, and I care if she’s being walked over or treated poorly. Wouldn't want you to treat her like you did my mother."

“I want to take her on a camping trip. Just the two of us. Up to the Highlands. Get some fresh air, do some hiking, and actually talk without the distractions of the house or... outsiders.” I held my breath, my heart hammering. I waited for the suspicion. I waited for her to ask why he suddenly cared about "bonding" after two years of distance. I waited for her to point out that taking a twenty-year-old girl into the isolated woods was an odd choice for a stepfather. But Mom didn't even blink. She didn't look at me to see if I wanted to go, and she didn't question Mark’s sudden change of heart.

Chapter 1 - The Stepbrother’s Friends My parents left on Friday morning and by Friday night the house wasn't mine anymore. That sounds dramatic. Let me back up. My mom and my stepdad had been planning this trip for months… a long weekend in the mountains, some cabin with no cell service and a hot tub and a view, the kind of thing they'd been talking about since they got married two years ago and had never actually done. They left at seven in the morning with their bags in the trunk and their coffee in travel mugs and my mom kissed me on the forehead at the door and told me to be good and my stepdad shook my hand and told me not to burn the house down.

Our parents will be awake soon, expecting us for breakfast, and I'll have to sit across from them with both my stepbrothers' cum inside me. I've never looked forward to a family vacation more.

“Lucy, you’re saying you saw some man leave the yard gate unlocked?!” Dad stood outside the gate, his bloodshot eyes locked onto me. I sneered inwardly. Look at how much he loved my younger brother, Ethan. In my previous life, I explained over and over that I had locked the gate properly. However, he only believed the pillow talk whispered by my stepmother, Mary, and decided that I was the one who caused the death of his only son.

Marica said; she squeals, saying the last word. My mouth wide opened, to my surprise. I haven't been on a vacation that long after we declared bankruptcy. "Besty, is this for real?" I said, grinning as if she could see me. "Yes, dear. So we only have a week to prepare. I already have a ticket and hotel reservation for the two of us. So you can't say no." My smile faded, turning my thoughts to mom and dad. "Marie, I couldn't leave mom and dad on my birthday. I also want to celebrate with them."
