Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother

Chapter 25

KASMINE.

Today was the day I was meant to die from a heart attack.

I had pleaded with Jake to let me get off the call and that we would speak more about this 'surprise' he said he had for me over lunch tomorrow, but he refused. Now, imagine the surprise I got when Kester barged into my room unannounced.

It was almost as if he had heard or seen me talking to Jake with the way he barged in.

Now, here I was, kneeling and crying at his mercy to save the one I truly loved.

But what did he want from me? What would he have me do to prove all he just said?

I wasn't his. I'd never been his. I didn't want to be his. I want to be Jake's.

Whatever delusions or fantasies he harbored about us in that dark, possessive mind of his, none of them were real. Kester remains my stepbrother, and no matter what he says or thinks, calling me MINE doesn't make me HIS. But the way he looked at me now, as if I was something he'd already claimed, made me doubt if I could escape his reality.

I was still trying so hard to process the kiss from this morning. I was still embarrassed and confused as to why he'd kiss me. And now, this?

My gut tells me Kester was up to no good with the way he was looking at me.

My nightie would certainly be a recipe for the disaster that would befall me tonight. It was so transparent that you' didn't need to squint your eyes before you got a good view of what lay beneath.

The hem barely reached mid-thigh, exposing far too much of my legs. The deep V-cut neckline framed my cleavage, leaving nothing to the imagination. His cold stare made my blood run cold while a shiver traveled through my spine.
