Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother

KESTER

I meant every word I just told her. The earlier Claire stopped bothering me, the better for Kasmine. Otherwise, I'd punish her if that would make her set boundaries between me and her pestering friend.

I pushed through my bedroom door, my anger radiating offine like a storm, spilling into the air like smoke. The shift in the atmosphere was instant, thickening with my mood, and unfortunately, June took notice.

"Kester..." She was on her feet in an instant, crossing the room toward me. "I waited up all night for you."

And?

All I saw in her was a stubborn child, desperate for attention.

Why was she telling me that? Does it look like I care? Didn't I tell her to go to sleep?

Her blonde hair was styled to perfection-sleek, shining, not a strand out of place. So, she really badn't slept.

The thought annoyed me more than it should have. What was she expecting? A reward?

I ignored her, stripping off my watch and tossing it onto the dresser before heading straight for the closet. 1 barely made it three steps before she spoke again.

"Where is Mine? Is she better now?" She asked and instantly, the world around me stilled.

I didn't know when I turned sharply and shot her the kind of glare that made her flinch. Good.

I turned to face her fully, my eyes narrowing dangerously on her, "Never in your entire fucking life call her that,"

I approached her slowly, and she took slow, desperate steps backward, "I am the only one who calls her that. You have no right to..." I counted my words through gritted teeth

Her lips parted, and I saw her wide eyes glistening as if she might cry.

And? Who gives a fuck?

Her Tears meant nothing to me.

"Have I made myself clear?" I breathe out, stopping in my tracks, my eyes never leaving hers.

She nodded frantically, "Ye... Yes. Yes. I'm sorry," She said almost in a whisper.

"Good"

For the rest of the morning, June avoided me like a plague, and I'd never been so thankful for anything.

I was in a hurry to head out to the office and leave her tedious presence at home. She insisted she had nothing to do in her office today and planned on staying at home all day.

I couldn't care less. She should do whatever the fuck she wanted, as long as she didn't interfere with my life.
