My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter ninteen: The heat of the moment
Instead, my fingers curled into his hair, pulling him closer. His mouth was on mine again, and this time, I kissed him back like I needed him to breathe.We were reckless and he was intoxicating. His hands slid down my body, gripping, exploring me, making my knees weak. I felt myself melting into him, getting lost in the fire we were playing with.We had already crossed the line, but I should care or think about the consequences.But then Ethan lifted me onto the nearby desk, stepping between my legs, his lips tracing a path down my neck.I let my head fall back, my hands slipping under his coat trying to unbutton his shirt and feel the heat of his skin.I was drowning in him.“Is there a zipper?” He asked as his hands were struggling to remove my dress.This was happening! I was going to have hot sex with the notorious Ethan Blackwood in a random room in his family mansion where our parents' reception was being held.And I would enjoy every second of the sex.“It's at the side.” His

Of course it has to be Rachel, that girl was a hound dog, always being in places she wasn't meant to be in and finding out things she wasn't supposed to.Her voice rang out, she was loud and visibly impatient. “Ethan? Sophia? Are you in there?”How did she know that we were here?“Ethan you're needed for the best man's speech, so hurry up.”Panic filled my chest. Before I could react, Ethan’s hand was over my mouth, pressing me back against the wall, his body shielding mine from the door as if Rachel could see straight through it.And when his body was pressed against mine, I swear I felt his hard on and I wanted to forget that Rachel was knocking and let him take me right here, right now."Shhh," he whispered in my ear. “She will go away if we keep shut”But the knocking only intensified. “Ethan, I swear, if you’re ignoring me—”My heart pounded. I could barely focus on anything but the way Ethan’s body was molded against mine, the way his palm felt against my lips, his scent thick i

I should have known Ethan Blackwood wouldn’t make this easy for me.After the wedding and the way he had kissed me like he was starving for me, after the way I had almost let him have me right there in that empty room, I swore I wouldn’t let him get to me. I had told myself it was a mistake, a lapse in judgment fueled by my need to break my stupid virginity.I thought I could pretend it never happened. I was wrong because Ethan didn’t forget and he absolutely will not let me forget.His presence was a constant reminder, I got chills everytime he passed my desk.It was almost as if the little things he was doing were turning me in.The brush of his fingers when he handed me a file. The way he said my name, The way he looked into me across the conference room table.And the worst part was that he never for once mentioned it., not the kiss or the way I had melted for him. Not the way I had run.Ethan Blackwood was playing a game, and I hated that it was working.So when Chris Carter wh

At exactly six fifty-five, I was finishing up my last email when Chris appeared at my desk with his hands tucked into his pockets.“Are you ready?” he asked, his smile easy and very much charming.I grabbed my purse, opening my mouth to respond but was interrupted by a buzzing sound, my phone lit up with a text and I knew who it was from.Ethan Blackwood: My office. Now.I ignored the motherfucker, he had ruined my day and he doesn't get to ruin my date. “Let's go Chris.”I barely had time to process before the intercom clicked on, Ethan’s voice filling the office with his usual controlled and teasing tone.“Chris Alister, please report to my office immediately.”Chris frowned. “What the actual hell?”I forced a smile. “It’s probably nothing. I’ll wait.”But as the minutes dragged on, my patience was wearing very thin, fifteen minutes gone and then twenty.By the time Chris finally emerged from Ethan’s office, he looked very disappointed and defeated.He exhaled sharply, rubbing the b

My breath almost stopped as my fingers tightening around the door handle. I hated how easily he unraveled me, how his words slipped beneath my skin like a drug I couldn’t resist.I forced myself to straighten, meeting his gaze with defiance. “I’m done with this conversation.”He stepped forward. “Are you?”I took another step back, I was very aware of the way he towered over me now, his scent was wood and spice and mixing with the heat rolling off his body was pure sin.I felt like I was caught in a web, trapped by the desire between us, and I couldn’t tell if I wanted to escape or if I wanted to give in.“You can’t keep doing this, Ethan,” I managed, my voice sounding smaller than I intended.His lips twitched with a half-smile. “Doing what, exactly?”His voice was thick, taunting. He was enjoying this.“Toying with me,” I bit out, but the words were weak, I wanted to step away, but my body refused. Every muscle felt locked in place because of him.“I’m not the one doing the playing

I was halfway through document I was reviewing when he loomed over my desk. I didn’t need to look up to know who it was.I sighed, pressing my fingers to my temples. "Unless you need a report, an urgent file, or a miracle, I’m busy Mr. Blackwood."He didn't hesitate to snatch the document I was working on right out of my hands."You want to tell me what that was back there?" His voice was calm, it was the kind of calm that usually came before a storm.I exhaled through my nose, finally looking at him. He was standing too close, like always he didn't know what personal freaking space meant, his tie slightly loosened, his sleeves rolled up, looking every bit the boss who thought he owned everything in his vicinity, including me."What what was?" I asked, feigning confusion.His jaw ticked. "The guy. The one grabbing your wrist like you owed him something."I shrugged, trying to seem uninterested. "Some men don’t understand the word no." I have him a look that suggested he was one of tho

By noon he had called me to his office and I braced myself for whatever impossible task he was about to throw at me. I barely had a moment to collect myself before he slid a handwritten list across his desk. He smirked as if he was savoring the moment.“Call them.”I looked down at the list, my stomach twisting the second I read the names they were all women.I lifted my eyes to him wanting some kind of explanation or ustification for what he was making me do. “Who are they?”His smirk deepened as he was taunting me. “Former acquaintances.”Translation- he was making me call his former lovers.I swallowed hard, forcing myself to maintain a neutral expression, he wanted a reaction and I wouldn't give him one. I nodded and went to my desk to make the calls, he didn't even need to ask me what to say, I already knew what the sadist of a man needed.I picked up the phone, my fingers stiff as I dialed the first number. The ringing felt endless, a chilling build-up to what I already knew w

This man was hellbent on breaking me and the way wasn't even over.I could handle the coffee runs, the infuriating games or one-night stand dismissals. But then, he cranked it up a notch by piling impossible deadlines onto my plate, pushing me to the edge of sanity.Every time I thought I was finally catching up, another last-minute assignment landed on my desk.Prepare these reports in an hour.Reschedule my meetings, not just once, twice.Find this obscure document from five years ago, right now, he was relentless. I barely had time to breathe before his name flashed on my screen again.Ethan: Come to my office. Now.I slammed my laptop shut, my patience finally snapping.When I stormed into his office, he barely acknowledged me, too busy skimming through a file.I crossed my arms. “This is ridiculous.”That got his attention. He looked up, dark amusement flickering in his eyes. “What is?”I clenched my jaw. “The deadlines. The unnecessary errands. The impossible workload. This isn’

My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 107: She called it survival
After the call I sat down next to her, my heart racing as I stared at her, trying to make sense of what had just happened.Her voice was soft but trembled as she spoke. "When you and Ethan left the mansion yesterday… He took it out on me."This was my fault.I felt my throat tighten. A cold lump formed at the base of my chest, and I couldn’t breathe for a moment. I knew something wasn’t right, but hearing her say it out loud made it worse. I wanted to ask more, but I couldn’t. I needed to know.“Is this the first time?” I asked, and as soon as I did, I regretted it. I immediately remembered when she frantically came here in a crying mess but I didn't do anything because I was overwhelmed with my own shit.I remembered how broken she was and how she covered it up immediately when her darling husband came to ‘pick' her up.I had a lot of questions and I wanted to stop myself from pushing, but I couldn’t, I had to know."Why wouldn’t you leave him, Mom?" The words slipped out before I c
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 106: Dead ends
The next morning arrived without mercy, I guess toke moved really fast when you hadn't slept at all After finding the business card, sleep became secondary because we knew who Drm Callahan was, was going to be a huge lead. So we spent the entire night at Ethan’s kitchen island, with a shut load of ccold coffee, our open laptops and half-torn sticky notes.At this point the name Dr..Callahan wasn't a lead, it was an obsession. We searched medical directories, university alumni pages, old oncology conferences, and even dark places in the internet that I wouldn't never think of goung to But a new click opened a new rabbit hole with each search result ending in a wall.No hospital.No city.And no fucking clue.Ethan sat on the counter at one point, head in his hands, while I stared blankly at the glowing screen. Neither of us said it aloud, but the truth was there, and that this was a lost cause. Whoever this doctor was, they didn’t want to be found.“This is hopeless,” he said.But I

Rachel ran forward screaming in a high pitched voice I didn't know she had. “Daddy? Daddy, are you okay? I heard glass break, what did Ethan do?” I blinked. What! The! Actual! Fuck! The way she rushed to him, like a little girl desperate to protect her hero, had my breath catching in my throat. She didn’t even glance at Ethan, she just went straight to Richard like he was the one who had been hurt when he might have been the one to shatter the glass. When did all this happen? When did Rachel start calling him Daddy with such tenderness? When did the girl who once side-eyed his every move become this… concerned? I barely had time to process it before Ethan spoke. “What I did?” he said, his tone flat. “You mean existed?” Rachel’s body stiffened. Her hand, which had just touched Richard’s shoulder, dropped like it had been scorched. She turned to look at Ethan, but the words she had died on her lips. Maybe it was the look in his eyes. I stood there, in the middle of this st

I took.l one last look at Sophie as I followed my father, he didn't say a word but it was obvious that knew what was coming; he had to. I strode down the hallway, my footsteps heavy on the floor but my father's pace was steady, but I could sense the tension building between us as I trailed behind him. My eyes fixed on the back of his head as so many thoughts ran through my head, He didn't look back, didn't acknowledge my presence. I continued to follow him as we went past the portraits of a family that barely existed, past the polished antiques that felt more like props than memories. He stepped into his office like a king returning to his throne. I had to admit that his office does look with a throne with the hgh ceilings, heavy mahogany desk, lather and gold and of course it reeked of his ego that soaked into the fucking walls. But now I know that none of this belongs to him, except his ego He didn’t look back when I entered, he just walked straight to the far end of the ro

Rachel's condescending voice cut me short. “Sophia, will you let my father talk to my brother or not?” I couldn't help but roll my eyes while Ethan had his usual unreadable expression, he looked regal and detached, like he had practiced that mask in front of a mirror. But I knew him too well, I know how much work it took him to keep everything in control, I couldn't see that there was a twitch at the corner of his mouth, I noticed the way he was tightening his jaw and I could sense that he was anything but calm.Mr Blackwood just cleared his throat as his eyes went straight to me. “Come with me Ethan,” his tone was flat and commanding, as he was leaving no room for argument. Everyone was silent looking between Ethan and I waiting to see what would happen.Ethan walked towards me with a silent plea in his eyes.“Please, Sophie. Just this once… stay out of it.”His words hurt, but I gave him a look that told him that I wasn't comfortable with him being alone with his father, for all
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 102: Don't let him know
Sophie's POVThe silence in the car was thick and extremely suffocating. Ethan hadn’t said a word since the call, and I could see it in the way his jaw clenched, the way his eyes showed that he was close to being wild with rage or just that he was very angry.And what Lorna said today only fueled his temper ten thousand times over.“He is looking,” Ethan said in a very low voice as his eyes were distant now, he looked like he was already five steps ahead of his father. “The fucker suspects, I can feel it, you know when I went to my mother's room he was watching and that was the first time in yeats that he went to her wing in the mansion, then now he went in the room it feels sketchy."I nodded in agreement."When I left the mansion today he gave me a chilling look that didn't quite sit right with me.”I listened without saying a word, just nodding my head so Ethan would know that I was picking up every single word he was saying, but he wasn't don't talking.“I don’t know how much he

Lorna’s eyes shifted to him slowly, and the sorrow etched into her face made my chest tighten. She looked like someone who’d lived with the truth for too long, and it had started to rot inside her.“He isolated her,” Lorna said. “At first, it was subtle. He convinced her not to go to her usual doctor. Said he knew someone more experienced, someone who ‘specialized in stress-related issues.’ She was hesitant, but he insisted. Claimed it was best for the baby.” She turned to Ethan “Best for you.”She turned to me then, her voice sharper and deadly bitter. “But that doctor… he was a joke. No credentials we could ever confirm. Always gave vague results, told her the tests were fine even when she could barely walk without holding onto something. I told her it wasn’t right. Told her to get a second opinion. But Robert didn’t let her.”Ethan’s jaw clenched. I could see it working as he gritted his teeth.“He told her she was imagining things. That she was paranoid. That stress was making her

Sophie's POVLorna’s fingers twisting a worn-out tissue, and I could already tell she wasn’t sure if she should speak. I could tell she was already getting emotional as I watched her lips tremble as she finally drew in a shaky breath.Ethan hands resting on the steering wheel even though we weren’t going anywhere, be looked very agitated as if he knew he wasn't going to like what he was about to hear.“Lorna please.” I begged. “I know this is hard for you but Ethan needs answers.”She nodded her head and sighed.“She met him in school… your mother. God, she was brilliant. Soft-spoken but sharp. She could silence a room with just one look.” She was looking at Ethan with a sparkle in her eyes as if she was seeing his mother in him.Ethan didn’t move, but I could feel him getting agitated. I turned slightly in my seat, I turned my body to face her as Lorna spoke.“Your father was a scholarship student, an orphan but was deadly smart, your grandfather sponsored him and your mother took i

I looked at her curiously and wanted obviously to know more as I stepped forward slowly.I bent down to her level to see what see was reading as hands hovered above the page like I was afraid it might burn or something “Let me see it,” I said, shocked that my own voice didn’t sound like mine.She didn’t hesitate, he just held it out with no warning or pause.I took the diary and read“I tried to protect him. God knows I did. But the day he walked into my room with the bottle, asking why it had Daddy’s name on it, I knew I was losing grip. Ethan was only six and he already understood too much I guess children are too observant, and maybe he inherited more than just his father’s eyes.”Everything blurred, the diary slipped from my hands and landed with a thud.Sophie bent to pick it up, but I stepped back.“No.”“Ethan—”“I need to think.”I moved toward the window, pressing my palm to the glass, my forehead against it. “I don’t remember any bottle,” I whispered. “But I remember her c
