4 || To love my stepbrother
To love my stepbrother is to be utterly enamoured by him and everything he does. It’s like taking a trip to another world; a place I have always wanted to be. I’m happy in that place, cuddled in his arms after sex until we hear the sound of our parents car.
Then everything comes crashing down.
The next few seconds have both of us scrambling to fix ourselves. We hear our parents voices call out to us in greeting but our focus is on flushing the used condom, airing the room so it smells less of sex.
“I don’t like this,” Calum says when we’re done cleaning. I unlock the door and return to him on the bed. With a grim smile, I lace our fingers. We can’t cuddle for fear of them showing up and meeting us in that position. I don’t want him to doubt us but I understand. He hugs me and my heart cracks. This will be tougher than I thought. In my head, it was easy. But reality is harsher. “I want to cud

I hate mornings. Because every time I wake, I’m reminded Calum won’t be there on the bed with me. All I have to remember our amazing nights are his lingering scent and the warm bed. He always sneaks off to his room before anyone wakes. Today, I’m particularly cranky because I’m losing sleep. It’s bad for me but midnight is our best time together. In school, we can’t get too close and there’s so little time between the drive to school.After getting dressed, I stomp out of my room. Dad stopped asking if I needed a ride since the new term began, he knows Calum will handle it. Calum’s door opens. We stare at each other, then he pulls me into his room. His lips are on mine before the door fully shuts. My brain falls asleep and my hands slide into his shirt. He groans into my mouth but I only kiss him harder. I know how much he loves it.“What was that for?” I breathe out, mouth so close t
To Tempt My Stepbrother 6 || Jealous
Calum calls me two more times. I send texts to inform him of the change in plans but they go unreplied. Lunch with the girls is full on gossip and laughing mode. Until Jackson walks into the cafeteria with Regina hanging from his arm.The sight of the duo is a soft blow to my chest. I make an involuntary sound that the girls notice, and their laughter dies off. Jackson and Regina find a seat with their clique. I pretend not to notice but my gaze strays a few times to their table.“We should go to my parent’s beach house this weekend or next,” Amelia says. It’s to drag me out of my slump but now my eyes are fixed on them. I can’t stop staring. Is this why he didn’t pick my calls? I wanted to apologise for ending things the way I did. Someone steps on my toe, my glare wavers when I see it’s Amelia. She probably doesn’t understand why I’m bothered. I’m not bothered, I’m just disturbed. He didn’t
To Tempt My Stepbrother 7 || Proud of you
I wake up in the morning feeling less bold than I did when I sent those videos yesterday. Dinner was uneventful. Calum was well behaved. He didn’t send another text except to wish me goodnight.After final touches to my face, I grab my backpack and head to Calum’s room. I knock once. He opens up with a grin, shaggy hair falling into his eyes. I glance at the stairs first, then whisk his hair from his forehead. Without notice, he drags me into his room and locks the door. Strolling to the study table with his laptop, he bends over and starts typing on it. I pout at his hunched frame. No morning kiss?“Feeling better?” he throws over his shoulder.“Yeah. Much.” I’ll never underestimate the power of a good night’s rest. I bridge the short distance between us, one hand on his waist as I peek over his shoulder. He shuts his laptop before I see what he’s working on. “How about you? Had a good nigh
To Tempt My Stepbrother 8 || In my room
Calum doesn’t speak to me on the ride home. I can’t form a sentence so I sit still and quiet throughout the drive. He parks and his icy glare turns to me. I gulp. “In my room, Cathy. Now.”“No.”Darkness clouds his gaze and a blonde brow lifts. I haven’t seen this version of him. “I didn’t hear that,” he mutters in a tone cold as his expression. I shake my head and he smirks. “I thought as much.”Shaking off the nerves, I get out of the car and rush into the house. Dani waves from the couch, she’s glued to the soap opera showing on TV but manages to ask how school was. I swallow my words as soon as Calum steps into the living room. The room grows hotter and I fan myself. Where did all the air go? He stops behind me, his hand on my lower back and I nearly jump out of my skin.“How was your first lesson?” Dani asks him.Her attention is divided
To Tempt My Stepbrother 9 || Horny
I’m horny. I’m so bloody horny I can’t keep still for a second. My foot raps into the floor, Calum throws me a warning look and I stop only for a second before I resume. He needs to touch me.“Cathy,” Stepbrother dearest mutters. He looks up to the Saturday sun and sighs. “Keep still.”“I can’t.”Setting the guitar beside his seat, he drags my seat towards him. Our knees touch. “What’s the problem?”“You know what the problem is,” I grumble.His lips pucker. Annoying man. “Enlighten me.”Subconsciously, my legs part open. I’m wearing a skirt. I’ve been wearing more skirts since that ugly night he left me hanging. Staring into space, I try to form the words but they are stuck in my throat.Annoyed at him, myself, I run my fingers through my hair and my shoulders deflate. Joining him doesn&rsquo
To Tempt My Stepbrother 10 || Tangled sheets
Watching Calum talk about his songs is like listening to a kid go on about his favourite toy. He lights up in ways I’ve never seen before and my heart pumps way too fast, way too hard in bliss. He stops talking and my hands sink into the bed.The hand holding his music note drops to his side. Calum walks away from his desk to kneel before the bed. His blond curls are a shade darker, damp with sweat and excitement. My legs lower to each side of his body. I finger comb his hair and smile.“You need to stop looking at me like that,” he says. His clammy palms slide up my thighs and I tug on the roots of his hair. “Or I’ll take you to bed now.”Laughter bubbles out of my lips and my head falls back from the weight of it. He pushes my hand back into his hair. “Who says I don’t want that?”“Cathy.” On his feet, he crosses his arms and I’m drawn to his biceps, the tattoos. K
To Tempt My Stepbrother 11 || Slut
I love Calum but he is too stubborn. He spends more time beating himself up on a past that he can’t change instead of working to improve the future. Speaking of the handsome man, Calum pokes my side and I erupt in a fit of giggles. His hand returns to the steering wheel, he throws me a glance and my body thrums. He’s too hot.“What has got you thinking so hard?” he asks.“Nothing.” He rolls his eyes, he does that a lot around me. I end the chat with Tessa and slide my phone into my pocket. Yes, I apologised to her but we are planning something bigger and nicer for Calum. I like that Tessa didn’t ask any questions about our relationship status but I suspect she knows. I wish she asked so I might have gotten advice from a girl older than me. “Just thinking about how much I love you, Cal.” Calum blushes. He slows the car by a deserted street and I hop onto his laps. My fingers catch in his hair. He sighs. “I love you too, Cathy.” I pull his bottom lip between my teeth, release it and k
To Tempt My Stepbrother 12 || Good for everything
Dinner is painfully slow. I’m in a bad mood and everyone notices. Calum slides an arm over my thigh but I shake it off. I still feel dirty; cheap.“Cathy, how was school today?” Dani asks from the other side of the table. Dad watches me. He has been on my case since I came downstairs. He’s not the only one. Calum has been trying to get more than one word replies out of me. But the only thing in my head is slut. “Are you okay?”“Yeah—” I stop and shake my head. Putting the fork down, I add, “I don’t feel so good.” Well aware the whole table is listening to us, I stand and grab my plate filled with spaghetti. “I’ll just drop this and go to my room. If…if that’s okay.”Dad and Dani share a glance. They want to say more but they don’t know how. Calum comes to the rescue. He copies my stance, his empty plate in one hand. I don’t want hi
