IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 39
TESSIE'S POV Everything happened so fast that I didn't even have enough to time to think about what I was doing. I wasn't thinking straight and his determination and passion was making it even harder. Before I could realize it, I was leaning against the wall with my top off and my bra half off.Maybe it was the cold on the wall or maybe it was my senses that finally decided to kick in. I slowed down before pulling away. He was about to take off his shirt when I acted. "Evan, wait!"He turned to me breathlessly. My chest was heaving rapidly and my whole body panic stricken. What was I doing? Evan stared at me in confusion. "Not here," I stated. "Right," he chuckled. "Well, maybe it's about time you gave me the house tour to your bedroom?"His enthusiasm and smiles were charming. I would say hard to resist but that would be going too far because what I was feeling was only my body reacting to his touch and actions around me. I didn't even realize

TESSIE'S POV I was woken up the following morning by a loud knock at the door. At first, I woke up in a state of disorientation not sure whether I had actually heard it or it had been just in my imagination. Jace's hand was under my neck and my head was on his chest. had no idea how that had happened. Maybe I had turned in my sleep and he had been open enough to hold me like that. It wasn't the first time falling asleep in my bed together but this was different. And I was still mad at him for not defending me against Lexi. "Tessie? I need to get your clothes to do the laundry," the doorknob turned.I sat up quickly. That was Jace's mother. Thankfully the door was locked. I shook Jace vigorously trying to wake him up. He groaned and struggled to open his eyes. "Wake up dummy!" I slapped him lightly several times and whispered, "Your mom is standing outside the door. Go back to your room!" "What?" he sat up in confusion. "G

TESSIE'S POV Helping out at Ava's mother's cafe had it's advantages. Some included getting free meals or drinks and sometimes even money. That day however, neither of those were appealing enough to keep me focused on the job. Instead of helping, I was doing much worse than just idling around gossiping.I was on my third strip of the mistakes I had done that morning that even Ava's mother was beginning to get uneasy. I placed the tray on the counter with a half spilled coffee sighing heavily. "Why don't you take a break and get some air outside, Tessie dear. Maybe some sun? I hear the morning sun can be a perfect healer."How could I tell that that I didn't need healing? I needed to kick Jace's ass and hurl every insult I knew on him, perhaps take out my anger on him and if I was lucky, somehow get to forget about Evan and the session we had shared. I closed my eyes trying to push the image of our closeness away as it fought to stand rooted in my head. "Te

JASON'S POV By the time I got out of my room and headed downstairs, Tessie was gone. I knew she was mad at me for how I had acted at the movies but there had been something else in her eyes when she confronted me. I had been looking forward to spending the day with her but now she was gone and I had no idea where to find her.I sighed heavily sitting at the kitchen island with my breakfast. It sucked not seeing her seated across from me like she always did. The cereal wasn't even appealing in the bowl. Somehow, Tessie always made everything fun and enjoyable which was why I couldn't afford to let her keep being mad at me. "What's going on with you? You seem distracted."My mother's voice alerted me. I almost dropped my spoon as I turned to her quickly. "Whoa! Is it that bad?" "I'm just tired," I shook my head. "What were you up to last night. I can swear I saw the same look on Tessie this morning. Were you guys out late on some teenag

AVA'S POV "Shit!"I crumbled my notebook unconscious and cursed myself closing my eyes the moment Jace disappeared into the back. Why did I have to be so awkward and so easily affected? Him with his perfect smile, his perfect gorgeous eyes that seem to always be flirting, his muscles... Which teenager worked out that much?It was hot. He was hot and always spreading that heat onto me whenever he was around. Why couldn't he just notice me and my mad crush on him? I sighed heavily and opened my eyes only to find my Mom watching me. I jumped back in surprise. "Geez Mom! How long have you been standing there?" "Long enough to feel your pain," she stated. "Why are you torturing yourself so much over him?" "Him?" I scoffed. "Why would I do that?" "Yeah, right." She squinted her eyes at me. "The way to a guy's heart is so easy sweetheart. And there are plenty of them if one doesn't realize what's right in front of their eye

TESSIE'S POV Had I been thinking clearly just a few minutes ago, I would have realized what Evan's version of hanging out entailed. It hadn't hit me until he drove to his house, a mini mansion several streets away from my home with two stories. My mind clicked the moment he turned off the engine and turned to me with a smile. "Let's go inside," he stated. "Wait, are we making a quick stop here before going on our date?" I asked looking straight at the front door. "What are you talking about? I asked you if you wanted to hang out at my house and you said yes." "No, I didn't." "Yes you did, right before I started the car outside the Cafe." "Oh," the word slipped out of my mouth unconsciously. I couldn't remember saying anything like that but then I had a lot going on in my mind. Maybe I had. There was no reason for Evan to lie to me.I got out of the car, closed the door and walked around to meet him in fro

TESSIE'S POV The moment he pointed out his bedroom, I grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him inside, claiming his lips again. I didn't stop, I didn't want to. Every brain cell I had was leading me here, vengeance.I took off my shirt and wrapped my hands around his neck, brushing my body against him. I felt his hands close in on my butt hesitantly. Was what I was doing right? Maybe not but it would give me a sense of equality. There was no way I was going to let Jace take advantage of me like that.In bed, I reached for his belt and started unbuckling it. Just before I could manage to, he grabbed my hand. I leaned back in bed staring at him. "Are you sure this is what you want?" he asked with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He seemed scared. "Aren't you sure it's what you want?" I shot back breathing heavily. "Of course I am, I'm just..." he shook his head. "I just want to make sure you are really ready and you are not rushing into it for som

TESSIE'S POV "What?" Evan asked frowning slightly.In that moment, I wanted to die or better yet be swallowed whole and disappear from his sight. Thoughts of Jace were never going to leave my head. It wasn't fair especially not in that situation.It was in between the second of panic and the moment of everything crumbling down that my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID quickly and then back at Evan. "I mean Jace is calling," I responded quickly. "He has been calling..." I added and sighed hard. "I don't know why he has such a bad timing." "You can say that again," Evan nodded and pulled himself next to me. He was clearly disappointed but at least what I had thought would happen didn't.It wasn't Jace calling. It was Ava and if he found out that I had just lied to him because I didn't want him to know I had called him another boy's name in the middle of my orgasm, he would never forgive me. I got out of bed quickly and gathered my clothes. I need

TESSIE'S POV "Tessie!" My father's voice alerted me from the hallway followed by a loud knock. I turned with a groan and sat up rubbing my eyes. Why was he waking me up so early ? "I know it's Saturday but you need to get up and have breakfast with us before I head to work. We have some news we want to share." "What time is it?" I managed to mutter under my breath and reached for my phone. It was some minutes past eight. My father didn't have to go to work early on Saturdays which explained why he was still there. "Tessie? Are you awake?" "You woke me up, Dad!" I shouted back. "I'm sorry. I haven't seen you since yesterday. Is it so bad that I want to share a meal with my daughter?" "I'll be there in a few minutes," I gave in knowing there was no point in arguing when he got like that.Beside me, Jace stirred awake and stretched his hand to me. He wrapped it around my waist and forced me back to bed with him. A silent gasp escaped me
IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 62
TESSIE'S POVTears sprung out of my eyes as I watched Ava run away from me. This is what I had been so afraid of— watching her walk away with that hatred in her eyes. Were we ever going to be okay again? Jace pulled closer and I leaned against his chest, my heart completely torn. I had wanted Ava to know the truth. I was going to tell her everything because I didn't want her to find out this way. "I fucked up," I breathed hard. "She is never going to talk to me again." "Tessie, it's not your fault. We both did this, I did this," Jace comforted me. "I lost control, Tessie. I thought she had left." "She did. At least I thought she did. I don't know why she came back." "Hey, it's okay. Stop beating yourself so hard about it. Ava is going to come around, we will talk to her together." "What if she tells our parents?" I asked, my voice shaking slightly. "Do you really think she would?" "I don't know. She is very upset and migh

AVA'S POVI blinked slowly trying to take in the scene in front of me but my whole body shut down for several seconds. I couldn't move or say anything so I just stared. Tessie and Jace broke apart quickly, their faces pale from shock. At first, I wanted to believe that I had imagined everything but the moment my eyes met theirs, all I could see was betrayal.My insides shredded at that instant. Tears stung my eyes and a soft sigh escaped me. My entire strength failed and I forgot to breathe for a second. "Ava..." Tessie stepped forward.It was at that moment that I managed to gather myself. I turned on my heels and ran out down the hall and headed downstairs. I couldn't be there, I couldn't face her, and I didn't want to talk to her or even see her face. "Ava, please wait!" she called after me as I ran out the front door without looking back. "Ava!" "I have nothing to say to you two!" I turned sharply and shouted. "Unless you want to tell me that wha
IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 60
JASON'S POV We searched for her for almost twenty minutes without seeing any sign of her or Evan. I hated myself for thinking that maybe she had gone home with him and used feeling unwell as an excuse. I couldn't stop thinking that they were off somewhere in the backseat of Evan's car or his bedroom making out or having sex.The thought drained the energy out of me and I paused outside the gym trying to fight it off. Just as I was about to give up the search, Evan appeared, heading back to the gym. I straightened up and met him. "Hey, do you know where Tessie is?" I asked. "She texted Ava that she was unwell and now we can't find her." "Yeah, she told me to drive her home. She has a headache but she is safe."I exhaled in relief. Right then, Ava joined us. "Is she mad at me for disappearing on her? Please tell me she isn't mad," Ava asked desperately. "I don't know," he sighed. "But I think you should check on her or call her to find out what's going o

JASON'S POV "So, how do you and Jude know each other?" I asked Ava as we danced amongst the crowd. "We met through our parents. They used to be coworkers then friends. What about you guys?" "He is my cousin," I stated casually, not surprised that Jude hadn't mentioned my relationship with him. "The one you are staying with," she stated.I frowned slightly, "How do you know that if he never mentioned me before?" "Tess told me, plus I live a few houses down from the Prescott's so... I know things." "Right," I nodded, my heart skipping several beats wondering how much Tessie had shared with her best friend. The truth? "What else did Tessie tell you?" I asked lightly. "Nothing much, except that you are single again which probably the whole school knows and many girls might be trying to get your hands on you." "Tessie told you that?" I cocked an eyebrow. Ava chuckled, "Not really. That was me blurting out every un

TESSIE'S POV "There you are!" Evan exclaimed as he joined me in the gym. I had completely forgotten about him until I saw him. My mind was elsewhere, sweeping through the crowd for Ava who had decided to abandon me. "May I have this dance?" "Yes," I took his offered hand with a sigh and followed him into the crowd. "Hey, did you see Ava while coming in?" "Yeah, she was right by the door with some guy. I don't think he goes to our school. I've never seen him before." "He must be his mystery man/blind date," I chuckled. "Well, wherever they are now, they must be having fun," Evan offered. "I don't see why we shouldn't as well. You want to see me break some moves?" he asked breaking into a pop and rock dance with both feet and hands.I laughed, immediately taken back to the day he danced for free ice cream on our first date. Evan was sweet, contrasting every thought I ever had of him. It would have been so easy to love him especially since
IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 57
JASON'S POV "Bro, I think I found a solution for your girl problem and I might just have found you a date to homecoming!" my cousin announced and jumped into my bed, disrupting my sleep. "I told you, I'm not going to homecoming, Jude," I groaned and turned, pulling a pillow over my head to block his voice.I wasn't sleeping, but I was in no mood to talk to anyone. Not after the day I'd had. Months of trying to get over Tessie, all the effort I had put in was not making it any easier. I had finally decided to get over it, get over my ego and talk to her and I just had to stumble over her agreeing on a date with Evan.Evan! Again! Yeah, that was it. I wasn't going to try again and I wasn't going to subject myself to that torture— watching them together for a whole night. "Dude, you are in the football team. You can't miss the game!" he shook me awake. "Besides, do you really want to miss your last homecoming dance just because a chick broke your heart? Look
IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 56
TESSIE'S POVMonths sped by quickly and before I knew it, junior year was already halfway done. Everyone was counting days to the homecoming dance, which was all the talk in the school hallways, washrooms, cafeteria, everywhere. It was beginning to get on my nerves especially when — "Have you found a date to the homecoming dance yet?"When that topic came up. I looked up, my sandwich halfway to my mouth, and met Ava's eyes dancing with curiosity. Way to ruin a girl's lunch! "No," I put the sandwich down. "And I'm not interested in finding one or going." "Tess, this is the second last homecoming dance you are ever going to get a chance to attend! You can't just throw that chance away." "I can, Ava. And I am." "No, you are not. You have to be there because I'm running for homecoming queen and you are not going to let me face Lexi 'you know who' on my own."My mouth dropped, "You are not serious, are you?" "About what part?"
IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 55
TESSIE'S POVThe level of scrutinizing I was getting at home ever since Jace moved out was too high. There had been numerous questions about what had happened, all to which I had responded the best way I could — feigned oblivion. I hated that my Dad blamed himself for going off on him for getting home late but what could I do?He would have to bear that lie and deal with it. As for me, sleeping in on weekends until they left and leaving so early in the morning during school days to avoid them was how I coped. That morning however, I wasn't so lucky because it was Diane's off day.I was seated in the kitchen taking my breakfast when she joined me. "I saw Jace."I looked up sharply and forced down the sudden panic that name brought to me especially in that house, "Yeah?" "Yeah, he told me why he had to move out." "He did?" I swallowed hard. Why was she being so vague? The tension was killing me inside. "Yes, it wasn't anything to do with your father.
