Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother

KASMINE.

Something was off.

June sat at the kitchen table, absentmindedly stirring the coffee in her cup, the spoon clinking against the ceramic in a slow, repetitive rhythm.

She wasn't drinking it.

She was just staring into the dark liquid, lost in her own thoughts.

Something about how she looked at me made my stomach twist, and my palms feel suddenly too warm.

For a fleeting second, the worst possible thought crossed my mind.

Then she spoke again.

My heart jumped out of my mouth, and I watched it run out the door.

The breath in my lungs also vanished.

For a second, I forgot how to breathe.

The air in the kitchen suddenly felt too thick.

What was she implying?

Why did I feel like June knew something she shouldn't?

"No. He doesn't," I said too quickly, too forced. "He... uh... shifted, one hand going to my waist, the other gripping the edge of the counter as I searched for the right words. “He does that when he's angry... Just to have some space.”

June didn't respond right away.

She just sat there, watching me. Not blinking or reacting. She was just processing
