Stella’s P.O.V.

What the fuck Alex is doing to me?

He’s being too sweet and caring, as if he is my boyfriend.

But I’m not ready for another relationship yet. It’s been only a week since Jade crushed my heart and I’m still overcoming that pain.

No matter how much my heart is melting, I’m not ready to trust a man again. I can’t let my heart break again.

Moreover, Alex is my stepbrother, there is no future for us. We should keep it only physical.

But it’s impossible to stop my heart from falling in love with Alex when he takes care of me like this, as if I’m the most important person in the world for him.

I hate how he makes me feel so safe, so wanted. I hate how my heart races every time he smiles at me, or how my body responds to his touch. It’s too much, too soon, and yet I can’t pull away.

Jade’s betrayal is still fresh. I can’t forget the way he made me feel worthless, the lies, the cheating... it’s all too much to move on from so quickly. Alex is the exact opposite, though—he’s bee

    Stella’s P.O.V. Zoe smirks at me as we make our way toward the stairs. “You’ve definitely got something going on. You were all 'I'm not hungry,' and now you’re leading the charge to the canteen.”I roll my eyes. “Yeah, well, I changed my mind.”Just as we start descending the stairs, Zoe’s foot slips on the edge of the step. She lets out a startled yelp, her arms flailing as she loses her balance. Immediately, Selena and I catch her before she can fully tumble down.“Whoa! Are you okay?” I ask, steadying her with a firm grip.She grabs my arm, laughing, though her face pales. “Yeah, I’m fine. As usual, I’m getting in trouble.” She winces, leaning a little heavier on us.Selena gives her other arm, and the three of us make it down the stairs more slowly this time.As we near the canteen door, I spot Alex and Sky sitting at a table. Their heads turn toward us just when Zoe stumbles again. Sky, who had been lazily slouched in his seat, immediately jumps up, his eyes widening as he rushe

    Alex’s P.O.V.I pull the car off the main road and head down the narrow path leading to my beach villa. The drive was quiet, but I could feel Stella glancing at me every few minutes.We turn into the long driveway. Stella shifts in her seat and her eyes widen as she takes in the view. The villa sits at the edge of the sand. It has the modern glass-and-wood design. The sound of the ocean is faint, but it’s there, constant and calming.I park the car and glance over at Stella. She’s still staring out the window, her eyes filled with amazement.“Is this yours?” She asks, turning her face towards me with a look of disbelief.I nod, unbuckling my seatbelt. “Yeah. My father gifted me this place a few years ago. Ever since then, it’s been my escape when I need to get away from everything.” I pause, my fingers drumming on the steering wheel. “You’re the first person I’ve brought here.”Stella’s eyes glimmer with something unreadable, and she turns back to look at the villa. “It’s beautiful,”

    Alex’s P.O.V.“Don’t blame me later.” I wink at her before gripping the straps of her bra and tearing it off in one swift, rough motion. Her gasp is lost as my mouth finds her neck, and I attack her skin with hungry kisses, sucking and biting, leaving marks that claim her as mine.My hands are everywhere, roaming over her exposed skin. I roughly cup her breasts before squeezing them with a desperation I can’t control. Her nipples harden beneath my touch, and I twist and pinch them, eliciting a sharp cry from her lips.She arches into me, her hands tangled in my hair, pulling me closer as her moans fill the night air, mixing with the sound of crashing waves. Her pleasurable whimpers drive me wild, making me harder.“God, Stella, the way you moan,” I whisper against her skin before capturing her lips again and devouring them hungrily. Our bare chests pressed together, our hearts beating in sync.Her hips buck against me, seeking friction, and with a smirk on my face, I grind my knee bet

    Alex’s P.O.V. Stella obeys, slowly lowering herself onto the wet sand before me on her fours. I take in the sight of her like this—the way she waits, completely exposed, the curve of her back, the way her skin glows under the moonlight. My chest tightens with a possessive pride. She’s mine. Only I can see her like this. It gives me an immense satisfaction. As I let my boxers drop, freeing my hard dick, her eyes widen and her lips part.I smirk. “Do you like what you’re seeing?”She bites her lower lip, her cheeks flushing a deep red. “Absolutely.”Without another word, I drop to my knees behind her. My hands roam over her body as I press myself against her wetness. I can feel her body shudder with anticipation when I grind against her slick folds, teasing her without giving her what she craves. My grip on her hips tightens. “Say it, Stella. Say that this beautiful cunt of yours belongs to me.” With one hand, I tap my hardness on her clit. She meets my gaze over her shoulder, her

I don’t want to ruin my best night by thinking about the person who cruelly shattered me.But, seriously tonight, I realised that there wasn’t any fault in me. It’s just that asshole didn’t know how to fuck properly. He always made me feel like there was a problem with my body.I was so stupid.God! I don’t want to think about him.I just only want to think about how Alex made me feel. I felt so complete when he was buried deep inside me.And he took out the best side of me which I didn’t know existed me. The bold side of me.The way he punished me when I got naughty—and to be honest, I got the best orgasms of my life. It was so intensely satisfying. My entire body was shuddering.God, just thinking about it makes me wet again.I never imagined I would get involved with my stepbrother. When we first met, he was so rude to me, and I didn’t like him at

I can’t deny the connection between us, even if I’m not ready to accept it.I turn my head, seeking his lips, and kiss him with everything I have.

We move together, our bodies finding a perfect rhythm, and soon we’re both on the edge.With his one last deep thrust, we explode together, our bodies trembling in sync. I’m lost in the sensation and in him. For a moment, I completely forget about everything else.But as the pleasure fades away, reality hits me. I know this is more than just sex.

Aren’t you coming for match practice?”“No. Actually, Stella isn’t well. Her mom’s not around, so I’ve stuck here to look after her.” I say, trying to sound annoyed because I can’t let him doubt what’s really going on between us.Sky is my friend. It’s not like I don’t want to share what’s really going on between Stella and me, but I’m not sure how he’d react. To him, she’s my stepsister, a boundary that shouldn’t be crossed. But to me, she’s so much more—someone I’m starting to care about in a way I never expected.He falls silent for a moment before he responds, “Oh, Zoe told me about her ex.

For the past two days, she has completely ignored me, as if we never had anything between us.

    James’s P.O.V. Unbearable pain. I feel unbearable pain in my chest for letting Selena go, even after knowing that she needs me like I need her. Because I don’t want to make things difficult for her, I don’t want to force her to choose me instead of her parents. I never want to push her for anything. Now she's gone from my room, from my life, and I feel completely incomplete without her. I get up from the bed and sit on the mini bar stool in my room before starting to drink directly from the bottle. I feel a type of emptiness that I've never felt before.The bitter liquid burns down my throat, but it’s nothing compared to the ache in my chest. I take another sip, hoping it will numb the hollow feeling inside me, but nothing happens. Her voice, her touch, the way she looked at me with those eyes full of unspoken words—I can still feel it all. And yet, she’s gone. I let her go. Tears stream down my face as I slam the bottle onto the counter before gripping the edge as I struggle t

I’ve never felt so safe in anyone’s arms before. Why can’t I keep this man forever?I play with his hair as he lies silently on my chest—his “softies,” as he calls them.

He just said, “It’s a surprise, Selena.”Now, butterflies dance in my stomach just thinking about where he might be taking me. I steal glances at him every few seconds. He looks so damn hot while driving. The veins in his arms are visible, making my breath heavy. No one would ever guess he’s almost forty. Any woman would have a crush on him, and on top of that, he’s such a gentleman.He surprised me with a bouquet, and how he knelt before me to tie the strap of my heels melted my heart.What is happening between us? Why is he treating me like this? And more importantly—what are we?
