Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother

Chapter 27

Chapter 28

KASMINE.

I wiped the tear away as I tied my hair in a loose bun, but it didn't stop the flood of emotions swirling inside me. Guilt. Shame. And something much more dangerous. Desire

I hated myself for allowing my brother to do what he did to me.

Last night was a mistake... It should have been a mistake-something I regretted so deeply that the very thought of it should make my stomach churn.

But after this morning? I swear, I was conflicted. Here I was alone in my room, unable to stop replaying every detail.

The forbidden fruit is always the sweetest, isn't it? The one thing you're not supposed to have, the thing that could ruin everything somehow, it becomes all you can think about.

He was devastatingly beautiful in a way that felt almost unfair. You wouldn't blame a lady for falling for him... But me? I had no right to have felt the way I felt.

Jake was just a guy... He never really liked the gym, even though he promised to begin gymming soon because of me. He was a little too lean, with just the right amount of flesh covering his bones. But I still loved him that way. Love went beyond mere looks. He was generally a great guy and I appreciated that.

But, Kester... He was built to perfection.

It all began the day Claire pointed out how great his body was. I couldn't stop studying every line of his body whenever he was bare-chested around me and wishing Jake had the same features sometimes. But I swear, nothing ever prepared me for this self-betrayal.

I closed my eyes, the memory of him from last night flooding back unbidden. My chest tightened as I remembered the feel of his lips on mine.

The hard planes of his chest pressed against me, the way his hands gripped me like I was the only thing grounding him to the earth. He'd always been strong, but last night, I truly felt it-the restrained power and control.

The way he fucked my mouth - even though I couldn't take in his whole length.

And this morning, I hated myself for how I melted under his touch, for the way his kisses made my knees weak. He kissed like a man who knew exactly what he wanted, and it terrified me how much I wanted to give in.

I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to ward off the chill of reality. This was wrong. It had to be. But no matter how much I told myself that, it didn't change the truth

"Good morning, Mum," I mumbled, hoping she wouldn't read too deeply into my tone. She was already glaring: daggers at me, and I wasn't in the mood for her usual lessons on propriety or whatever moral thought I lacked.

"Kasmine. What have you..." she began, but I walked past her, totally ignoring Kester, who had been waiting for me at the dining table with her.

"Have a nice day, too, Mum," I interrupted her and walked out the door.

We drove in awkward silence, and I never made the mistake of glancing his way. He tapped away on his phone, his Jaw tight with that quiet, simmering anger he carried so well, but I didn't care. Kester was constantly angry. It was
