CYRUS

In all honesty, spending the day at the zoo sounded like torture. Not because I didn’t want to spend time with Megan, but because I was so stressed about Ralph showing up, I didn’t think I’d actually be able to relax and enjoy myself. Miss Bruns didn’t seem to have the same concern, though.

She was all smiles as we loaded up into the car to leave. Maybe it was for Megan’s benefit, as she appeared super excited to be going as well. I put on a smile and tried to act happy in front of my niece, but my mind just kept imagining all these terrible scenarios of things Ralph could do if he caught us out in public.

I knew my thoughts weren’t rational given that we would be surrounded by people, but I honestly didn’t know to what lengths Ralph would go to get to Megan.

“Hey, you need to relax,” Miss Bruns suddenly whispered to me. She sat next to me in the car. Megan was in the seat behind us, distracted by a book about monkeys that Miss Bruns had brought along.

“What do you mean?” I h

    I was holding her hand and she nearly got away from me as she tried to dash forward.“Hey, hold on now,” I said with a chuckle, tugging her back. “You’ve got to stay with us, all right? No running off, Meg.”She stopped and looked up at me with wide eyes, clearly eager to get going but struggling to behave.“Okay, Uncle Cyrus,” she replied. “But can we hurry and go look? Please?”“Yes, of course,” I chuckled. “Let’s go.”I shot a glance to Miss Bruns, who was watching us with a small grin. Swallowing, I tore my gaze from her and focused on Megan. We walked down the pathway together, which was lined with multiple enclosures housing various species of monkeys. Megan could hardly contain herself as we moved from group to group. She giggled and pointed at a pair of capuchins chasing each other through the trees.“Look!” she squealed. “Sadie! Uncle Cyrus!”“I see, sweetie,” Miss Bruns said with a nod, squatting down next to Megan. “Do you think they’re playing tag?”“Monkeys can’t play tag

    SADIE It was hours later when we finally returned home. After a long day of running around and exploring, Megan was exhausted. She fell asleep on the ride home, and when we arrived, I picked her up out of the car and carried her into the house.“Should we just put her to bed?” I asked Miss Bruns when I reached the bottom of the house’s main staircase.Nodding, she softly answered, “Yes, I think that’s a good idea. Since we had some food before we left the zoo, she doesn’t need dinner.”“Okay,” I whispered, gently adjusting Megan in my arms. “I’m pretty sure she’s out for the night.”Miss Bruns grinned, and we made our way up the stairs to Megan’s bedroom. Before I laid her on her bed, Miss Bruns removed her shoes and pulled the covers back. I carefully placed Megan down on the mattress, and Miss Bruns tucked her in. When we were done, we stood side-by-side and gazed down at the little girl.She looked so peaceful as she slept. I was happy that she seemed to have gotten over the worst

    SadieI tried so hard not to think of that kiss. For two days, I did my best to pretend it hadn’t happened and did my best to avoid Mr. Grave. He made it easy for me, going back to his office and leaving the house each day. I know he only felt comfortable doing that because we had extra security stationed with us throughout the day. He wasn’t about to leave Megan unguarded.No matter how hard I tried, though, I couldn’t get the kiss out of my mind. It had been one of the most intense kisses of my life, and it had been with a man I didn’t even like. At least…I was pretty sure I didn’t like him. No, no, I was positive. That day at the zoo had been good, and we had gotten along well enough, but it was because Megan had been with us. We had to be on our best behavior for her sake.Yet, no matter what I told myself to try and dismiss the kiss, I couldn’t shake it. I needed to talk to someone about it, and there was only one person that I ever turned to in such circumstances. I arranged t

    Sadie“Abby!” She squealed my name in delight. Several of the other parents and nannies looked our way, and I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me right then and there.“Shhhh,” I snapped. “Don’t make a scene. I wasn’t that big of a deal. It just…happened.”“That kind of thing never just happens,” she insisted. “Who kissed who?”Licking my lips, I sighed. “He kissed me.” But I definitely kissed him back. Not that I wanted to admit that out loud.Nor did I want to admit just how intense that kiss had been. I don’t think anyone had ever kissed me that way before. It had been like he’d wanted to devour me, and I had been all too ready to let him.That part startled me the most…just how willing I had been to be consumed by the man. It was confusing and a little scary. I didn’t like the thought of losing myself to someone else. Especially not someone like him.“That’s so naughty.” She giggled, apparently oblivious to my inner torment. “Look at you. Strait-laced Abby getting naughty w

    Cyrus“Mr. Grave? You have a call on line two.”I looked up from the files in my hand to find my assistant standing in the doorway of my office. I frowned.“Who is it?” I asked. “Actually, never mind. Take a message and tell them I’ll call back. I’ve got to focus on this contract, and I don’t want any distractions.” I was working on a major deal for my company that was proving to be a major pain in my ass. The company we were negotiating with was flaky and kept dancing around issues that needed to be addressed, all in the hopes of getting more out of this deal than they deserved. I wasn’t interested in playing their petty games, but the deal itself was so massive, and had such huge profit potential, that I couldn’t simply dismiss them either. I had to find a way around their nonsense, and so I’d declared that I wasn’t to be disturbed for any reason short of an emergency while I worked through this mess.When my assistant didn’t immediately leave my doorway, I gave her a confused and i

    “Sadie?” I called out, completely dropping all pretense and the forced formality I’d implemented between us. “Sadie? Where are you?”“Mr. Grave?” She appeared at the top of the stairs. She was flushed and looked as though she’d been crying. She hurried down the stairs toward me.“Are you all right?” I demanded to know. “Where’s Megan?”“She’s up in her room,” she replied with a rush of breath. “Playing. She’s fine now.”“What about you?” I asked, grabbing her shoulders and looking her over. “Are you okay?”She swallowed. “Honestly? Not really. I held myself together in front of Megan, but…”At that moment, her knees buckled, and she nearly dropped to the floor. I caught her and held her upright.“Come on,” I told her, guiding her into the living room off the foyer. We sank down onto the sofa together, and I kept my arms around her. “Breathe, all right? Breathe.”She did, sucking in deep gulps of air. I held her tight as she caught her breath, and she clung to me. Her fingers dug into

    SadieI was startled by Mr. Grave’s fury. I understood it, but it was frightening to witness nonetheless. Once he threw his phone, I jumped to my feet. He looked like he was on the verge of actually committing violence, and though I was not worried that he would do anything to me or anyone in the house, I had the strange and sudden fear that he might go out and hunt Ralph down, or even the bodyguard who’d been with us. I felt like I needed to calm him down before he did something stupid.“Mr. Grave!” I hissed. “Calm down, please. Megan might hear you.”“Don’t tell me to calm down,” he said, whirling around to face me. “I have every right to be furious. Those worthless asses had one job and one job only, and they failed at it!”“It was an accident!” I insisted. “We found her, and she’s safe…”“But what if she wasn’t?” he barked. “What if she was harmed? What if you were?”“But we weren’t!” I shot back, growing more and more frustrated. Why wouldn’t he listen to me? What was going on w

    “Cyrus,” he growled against my lips. “I want you to call me Cyrus when I touch you.”“What?” I couldn’t comprehend what he meant until he scooped me up in his arms and stepped toward the couch. He sat down and set me on his lap. I straddled his thighs, our kiss continuing as he reached around and cupped my backside in both his hands. I groaned, arching my back and pressing my breasts into his chest. His touch was so firm and confident. I could feel myself melting for him and knew I was moments away from being putty in his hands.“Cyrus,” I murmured against his lips, sliding my arms around his neck.One of his hands found its way under my shirt, his fingers brushing along my bare skin and making me shiver.“Sadie,” he said in a low, rumbling voice. “Are you getting wet?”His question stunned me. I couldn’t find the words to answer right away. I stared at him with wide eyes, my lips slightly parted as I tried to come up with some sort of response.He smirked. “Should we find out?”Bef

    - Everly I drop down onto him, letting every thick, throbbing inch of his cock plunge inside of me. I cry out when I feel him so deep inside, grinding into me as my legs clench around his waist. The gentle waves undulate around us, making us bob slightly with their motion. Jaxon slides me up his beautiful cock, teasing me with just the head inside, before he lets me sink right back down.His mouth drops to my neck, kissing and sucking and biting me softly as he starts to drive his big dick in and out of my quivering pussy. His mouth moves even lower, and when he uses his teeth to pull my bikini top away from one breast, exposing my pink, hardening nipple, I moan loudly.“Oh fuck, Jaxon,” I cling to him, letting the waves and his powerful arms bob me up and down every inch of him, feeling him grind deep inside. His mouth wraps around my nipple, his tongue teasing it and making me gasp as I hug him tightly and let the pleasure rolls through me.The setting sun catches sharply and glit

    - EverlyWater teases over my feet, and I look up from my paperback to realize the tide has come in much more than I thought. I smile, letting the late afternoon sun warm my skin as it starts to set over the gorgeous big Pacific Ocean. My toes curl in the sand, and I breathe in the fresh air and sunshine.Suddenly, hands grab me from behind, and I shriek as my heart jumps into my throat before I hear that chuckle behind me“You dick!” I gasp, shaking my head at Jaxon — in just a perfectly fitting black bathing suit — as he plops down on the sand behind me. He grins that insanely gorgeous smile at me, sending a throb of heat into my core that takes my breath away. I try and slap at his chest for scaring me, but he just chuckles and wraps his arms around me, pulling me tight against him.“Someone lose track of time?”I nod. “Yeah. It’s a really good book.”“Learning anything good?”“Yeah, actually.”“Well, I hear the Kama Sutra is full of—”He laughs as I wriggle around and tackle him,

    JaxonKen was still at the office, and I knew Catherine was at her usual “yoga” appointment, which just meant guzzling wine with her friends and getting trashed before two in the afternoon.Good. If either of them had been there, I’d have still gone through with the plan, but something told me it’d be easier for Everly if they weren’t. Plus, them not being here meant I could make her scream as loud as I wanted.She jumped into my arms the second we crossed the front door, and I groaned as my hands cupped her ass and lifted her into me. Her long legs wrapped tight around my waist, and our lips locked as I slammed the door shut and carried her up the stairs.We hurried into her bedroom, stumbling across the floor moaning into each other’s mouths before I tossed her on the bed. I grinned as I took a second to look around at her room — so pink and innocent, but so her. Pictures from magazines, and stupid celebrity crushes, and horoscopes tacked up everywhere. Posters from bands she loved,

    He growled in frustration as I pulled away from him, but when I turned around and bent over his lap with my ass up in the air, his eyes burned fiercely. I took his hand, pulled a finger into my mouth and sucked it clean.“Fuck, Everly,” Jaxon groaned, his jaw grinding as he watched me be such a bad girl for him. I tugged his arm over, pushing his hand onto my back and pushing it further back, until he got the idea. His hand slid over my ass, grabbing it possessively as my fingers found his zipper.“You dirty fucking girl,” he groaned as I slipped my hand inside and curled it around his thickening cock. His own hand slid down over my ass, his fingers finding my pussy from behind like he had back in his office.“Says the man playing with his step-sister’s pussy,” I purred right back. Jaxon chuckled deeply, but when I pulled his cock free of his pants, he groaned.God he was so big. My jaw dropped seeing him again this close, stroking him slowly. I pumped my hand up and down his big cock

    Yeah, we had to get out of there right the fuck then. I’d pushed it, fucking Everly across my desk with the damn office outside. If we stayed here, I couldn’t be sure things wouldn’t go past keeping it quiet. And besides that, when I took her again, I wanted soft sheets at her back, and pillows all around her. I’d fucked her hard and rough like she wanted me to, and how I damn well wanted to fuck her too.But the next time? The next time, I’d make her feel like the fucking princess she was.I ran my finger up over her slick, sticky pussy, making her gasp as she turned, her eyes wide as she grinned at me.“We need to go, now,” I growled.“Right now?” she whispered looking a little crestfallen. “I was hoping—”“If we do this again in here, I can’t promise the whole fucking office won’t hear you by the time I’m done with you.”She blushed bright red, but she still had that crestfallen look on her face. And slowly, I got it.“Everly,” I groaned, pulling her close and kissing her. “You thi

    I growled, grabbing her hair and making her cry out as my teeth sank into her neck. My hand covered hers gripping my cock, stroking my shaft and letting the thick swollen head brush over her sticky wet lips.Everly moaned, rocking her hips toward me like she might coax me to slip inside. I mean fuck, she was so fucking wet I could have. I could have just grabbed her hips, lined up, and driven every fucking inch inside of her to the hilt. But I wasn’t going to hurt her. I wanted her, yes. And I sure as hell wanted to make her scream and fuck her exactly like she wanted me to.But I wasn’t going to hurt her.Not when I took the one thing she couldn’t give twice — the one thing that I knew made me the luckiest fucking man on earth to get to have.Instead, I eased against her lips, letting them kiss over my crown as I slipped just inside. She hissed, biting her lip, and I pushed even more inside, feeling the resistance there.“This will only hurt a second, love,” I whispered.I eased in,

    JaxonMy blood ran like fire in my veins, every muscle in my body tensing as I dragged my tongue over her clit again and again. And when Everly came against my mouth, her tight, small body bucking against my lips as she squealed in pleasure, I swear I could have come right there.My cock ached for more of her, throbbing harder and thicker than it’d ever been as I felt her sweet sticky juices drip down my chin. She shuddered against me, her sweet pussy quivering against my lips.I’d just made Everly come on my tongue. My eighteen-year-old, untouched, off limits step-sister. Oh, I knew no other man had ever gotten to her. For one, because I’d been watching for it, and for two, I knew it just by the way she walked. I knew from the way her hips moved that she’d never had a man spreading these pretty thighs wide and giving her every inch of his cock.But I would.Her hands pulled me up, and when I kissed her, pressing hot against her body, she whimpered into my mouth. Her tongue teased ove

    Like they had a mind of their own, my hands slid the rest of the way down my thighs. And when my fingers brushed over my slick, aching pussy, the cry tumbled from my lips. You’d have thought I’d have my eyes squeezed shut or something, but somehow, they stayed open — open and locked on Jaxon as my fingers teased over my slit.I ran two fingers through my wet, puffy lips, dragging the sticky wetness up. And when they rolled over my clit, I cried out, my body arching as the pleasure exploded through me.“Just like that, princess,” Jaxon groaned. His hand closed around the huge bulge in his pants, stroking his cock through them as he watched me. “Play with that clit, Everly. Play with that pretty pussy for me.”I whimpered, rubbing my fingers over my clit and panting as he watched me and stroked his cock through his pants. I couldn’t believe I was actually doing what I was doing, but I knew I never wanted to stop. I pushed my fingers lower, and when I slid one deep inside my slick, tight
