“You’re welcome,” she replied with a little twinkle in her eye. Before I could make sense of that, she turned and walked away without a backward glance.Deciding to ignore whatever that look was, I made my way in the opposite direction toward the stairs and headed up toward the roof of the townhouse. There was an outdoor space with a thin, rectangular pool. Reaching the rooftop door, I opened it and stepped out into the sunshine. It took me a moment to get used to the brightness, but once I was, I crossed to the pool.I could see Mr. Grave moving through the water, and he reached the pool’s edge about the same time I did, though I don’t think he realized I was there. He began to climb out, and I froze in place. Water sluiced off of his chiseled chest and six-pack abs. When I realized he was wearing nothing but a Speedo, a little squeak slipped past my lips.His head snapped up, and he met my gaze. His brow furrowed and his jaw tensed as he finished climbing out of the pool.“What is i
CYRUS Having Miss Bruns in my house was proving much more challenging than I’d anticipated, and I hadn’t thought it’d be easy by any means. Every day she was there, I questioned my decision to hire her in the first place. As great as she was for Megan, she was devastating for my peace of mind.She seemed to permeate the entire house. Her scent was everywhere. I didn’t understand how that was possible so quickly, but every room I walked into, I was teased by the floral perfumes she wore or the smell of her shampoos and body wash. She was particular to lavender and cherry blossom.If it wasn’t her scent, it was the sound of her voice. Walking down the hallways, I’d hear her laughter as she played with Megan or her friendly tone as she chatted with Mrs. Plumb. There was a warmth in her voice that I never heard when she spoke to me. A small part of me felt a sting of jealously when I heard her talking to anyone but me, because they got to hear the musical lilt in her voice while I never
CRYRUS“What am I doing?” I replied, instantly defensive. “It’s my house. I should be asking you that.”She scowled. How could a woman be so freaking gorgeous when she was angry? It was ridiculous.“I couldn’t sleep,” she said with a hiss. “I was going to the kitchen for a glass of water, if you must know.”Her snappy tone only poked at the fire already burning in my belly. Anger and arousal swirled within me, and I worried that she’d be able to see my reaction to her.“I’m still getting used to having you here,” I shrugged dismissively. “It’s perfectly reasonable for me to be suspicious of what you’re doing roaming my house in the middle of the night.”She rolled her eyes, and my hand twitched as I imagined putting her over my knee.“Whatever,” she murmured, turning toward the staircase and flipping her long, red hair over her shoulder. “I don’t have to stand here and listen to your ridiculous insults. You’d think you’d be a little nicer to me at this point, but I guess you’re just a
SADIE By the third week, I was feeling comfortable with my job as it pertained to Megan, but things between Mr. Grave and me only seemed to be getting worse. He continued to avoid me as much as possible, even going so far as to walk out of the room when I entered it. It was infuriating and insulting, but what was worse was how disappointed I found myself to be whenever it happened.For some ridiculous reason, I didn’t want him to ignore me. I’m not sure exactly when that idea changed for me, but I suspected it was that night we’d run into each other in the hallway. He’d looked sexy and disheveled with the sleeves of his dress shirt rolled up to reveal his muscular forearms and the top buttons of his shirt undone. His hair had been mussed and wild, completely different from how sleek and perfect it always appeared.The way he’d looked at me, though, was what had really shaken me to my core. His eyes had practically devoured me, and I’d been all too aware of the fact that I’d been wear
Megan looked up at me as I reached her, and I was startled to see that blank expression on her face once again.“Megan?” I said in a gentle voice. “Who was that man? What did he want?”She stared at me for a few moments, and I could discern nothing from her gaze. She didn’t appear to be physically hurt in anyway, but that didn’t mean the creep hadn’t said something awful to her.“Megan?” I softly urged.Blinking, she finally answered, “That was my daddy. He wanted to talk to me.”It felt like my heart stopped. For a moment, I was completely frozen before panic set in and began pumping adrenaline through my veins.Grabbing Megan’s hand, I said, “Come on, honey. We’ve got to get you home.”I tried not to make my panic obvious to her, but I don’t think I did a great job of hiding it. We hurried to the car and climbed into the backseat, and I told Bill to get us home as quickly as he could. Only once the car was in motion did I manage to relax somewhat, but I was still startled by the sud
SADIEI managed to keep my anxiety in check for Megan’s sake, but my stomach was gurgling and my mind was racing with all sorts of terrible ideas of why her dad had suddenly reappeared. I wanted to talk to Mr. Grave so badly, but he didn’t come home in time for dinner. In fact, it wasn’t until much later in the evening, after I had put Megan to bed, that I heard the front door open, indicating his return.I’d been waiting impatiently in the living room, trying to watch TV to distract me. The moment I heard him come into the house, I jumped to my feet and hurried out to the foyer to greet him.“Mr. Grave,” I said the moment I saw him. “I need to talk to you.”He looked momentarily surprised to see me and then let out a huff of breath, as though annoyed.“It’s been a long day, Miss Bruns,” he grumbled. “I’m sure whatever complaints you have for me can wait until morning.”I ignored his small insult and came to a stop in front of him.“I’m afraid that’s not possible,” I insisted. “Someth
CYRUS My fury threatened to overwhelm me. The urge to go out and hunt Ralph down myself was so strong, I’d locked myself in my office to keep myself from getting into trouble. I had to remind myself what was at risk if I tried to handle him personally. My custody of Megan wasn’t permanent yet, and if I did anything to put myself at odds with the law, she’d most likely be taken from me.Still, I couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like to smash my fist in Ralph’s face over and over again. It was an immensely satisfying fantasy, and one I’d had ever since I’d discovered all that he had been doing to Kate.I had to immediately shut down that train of thought. I was angry enough as it was. I didn’t need to remember all the abuse he’d put my sister through. Very likely, I wouldn’t be able to hold myself back from hunting him down if I let those memories run free.I sat at my desk, drumming my fingers impatiently on the surface as I waited for my head of security to arrive. I didn’t
CYRUS “I want you to put a tail on Miss Bruns, our nanny,” I answered. “I want to make sure she’s safe and guarded as well.”Caleb appeared surprised by that. Tilting his head, he studied me for several long moments. There was a gleam in his eye that I didn’t like.“What?” I growled. “Why are you looking at me like that?”“This new nanny…is she cute?”I glared at him. “Not funny.”“Not trying to be funny.” He smirked, his eyes dancing with mirth at my obvious annoyance. “Just curious. You seem rather protective of her.”“Of course I am,” I said. “She’s taking care of my niece. I don’t want anything to happen to either of them.”“Makes sense.” Caleb shrugged, that stupid grin still on his face. “But you seem to be a bit worked up about her. Tell me about her, buddy. Come on. Don’t hold back.”“There’s nothing to tell,” I replied sharply. “She’s my nanny. That’s it. That’s all. She takes care of Megan and is good at her job. I don’t want her to regret working here.”I tried to make mys

So again, thank you, thank you, thank you! You all make this so worth it! 💕
- 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
