My Heartless Stepbrother 26. What if?
MEGHANHad that really just happened? I put my hands to my face to try to cool my cheeks. The burning was for sure real. I wasn't imagining how hot my cheeks were or how hot I was all over. My body felt too hot with my skin being too tight and I wondered if maybe that was a little like how Adrian felt right now. "Stop it! Stop thinking about it," I told myself. Guys were always trying new ways to get it in. Adrian was playing with me. He was either trying to convince me to have sex with him or just trying to embarrass me to get back at me for---everything.'Everything' was a lot; I wanted to know if it would ever go away or if it would be there between the two of us for the rest of our lives. I didn't want running away to Boston to be the final mistake I got to make with Adrian. The longer I was home, the more I realized I wanted to try things again with him even if he was a jerk. Adrian was sort of like MY jerk so I was willing to deal with his moodiness, his sarcasm, his wise
My Heartless Stepbrother 27. Dirty Talk
ADRIAN"I knew you'd answer," I said as soon as Maggie connected the call.Over an hour had passed since I'd left Maggie. Why should I get in a hurry to call her? Why shouldn't I make her sweat a little? Maggie was the one who broke my heart. She was the one who screwed me then left me even after knowing I was in love with her. She only got to take what I dished out. No matter what I did to her---Meghan deserved it because what she did to me was worse.Slumping down on the guestroom bed, I made myself comfortable as I said, "I bet you missed me, too. Didn't you, Maggie? Didn't you miss me?" "No! I just got worried because you were slow. You're a terrible driver. I thought you might have wrecked," Maggie said.I could hear a hint of defiance in her tone, but it was weak. Maggie didn't want to piss me off. She wanted to hear what I had to say. She wanted to be part of this conversation. She wanted me.Knowing I had her on the hook made my dick harder than ever. I unbuttoned my jean
My Heartless Stepbrother 28. Isn't he the greatest, Maggie?
MEGHANTen points for Adrian and zero points for me.He made me feel humiliated and helpless once again, and this time I paved the way for him. I practically threw myself at his mercy and all because he talked dirty to me over the phone.Why did I do it?Was I really desperate for his attention that much?I sighed as I looked at my phone after Adrian hung up on me abruptly. I sort of saw it coming, but it still hurt when he dismissed me like that.I closed my eyes and lay back as my body still felt the aftershock of my orgasm. I didn't care if he did that to get back at me because what I felt for him was genuine.I shouldn't feel ashamed of my feelings. Why should I? This wasn't the first time he called me a pervert and a slut. If you think it would drive me away, he's wrong. I can handle him.Adrian can hate me all he wants, but I decided I was not giving up on him.I looked back at my phone and sighed. Six missed calls from Chase. He had been calling me nonstop, even though I told h
My Heartless Stepbrother 29. Not even going to say hello?
ADRIANLuke looked at me suspiciously. He had been staring at me intently ever since I joined him to play some video games."What, you think I'm handsome or something?" I barked."You are looking kind of happy. What's going on?" he inquired.Shaking my head, I scoffed at Luke. "I'm looking happy, and it's a problem? What kind of best friend are you?"Luke chuckled and turned his attention back to the game. "I'm not saying that. It just seems sudden because just the other day, you were in a slump, getting pissed and everyone and everything, and this morning you are singing in the shower? Kind of weird to me, that's all."Luke wasn't wrong. I was feeling a lot happier after that phone conversation with Maggie. Hearing her voice---so flustered, was the highlight of my day. This was just what I wanted. I wanted her to feel what it's like to want something she couldn't have.I wanted her to feel what I felt that day when she left. Heartbroken and lost."I am just in a good mood. Don't read
My Heartless Stepbrother 30. Everything Went Wrong
MEGHAN"Chase, I really don't need a new outfit," I protested as he picked out a pink and white dress from the shelf and handed it to me. It was a pretty dress, but it wasn't my style and was completely overpriced."Come on, Meg. Don't fight me on this. It will look great on you," Chase insisted."But I don't even like pink." I was laughing it off, but I felt uncomfortable. Chase had been trying to get me to buy one thing after another as soon as we got to the mall. I told him that I didn't want him to shop for me, I was not materialistic, and it didn't matter if I had enough clothes or not, but he kept on insisting on buying more things.Chase gave me the sad puppy eyes. "I know it's not your favorite color, but I think it would look great on you. You have such delicate, feminine features, so this dress will suit you. You know I love it when you dress up!""But Chase, you didn't like anything I picked out for myself earlier. So are you trying to tell me I have bad taste in clothes?"
My Heartless Stepbrother 31. Did You Do It?
ADRIAN"That was crazy what happened to Chase, huh?" I said after we watched them wheel him into the ambulance.Maggie didn't say anything and just stared at me intently."What?" I asked. "Why are you looking at me like that?""Adrian... did you have anything to do with what just happened to Chase?" Maggie asked.I glared at her. "What are you trying to say, Maggie?""Nothing, I was just wondering. Chase didn't order anything with peanut, and only Tiffany had that peanut butter pie, so I was just..." I stopped talking as I saw Tiffany looking at me with a horrified expression on her face."Whoa, whoa, Maggie, what are you implying here? Are you saying I slipped Chase some peanut butter and purposely made him have an allergic reaction?" she gasped. "Why the hell would I do that? That makes no sense.""No, no, Tiffany! I was not saying that at all," Maggie said quickly."Then what are you trying to say, Magpie?" I demanded to know. "You are acting like we are some kind of criminals here
My Heartless Stepbrother 32. Protect Me
CHASEI could always tell Meghan didn't trust me entirely, and I never understood why. I have tried my hardest to win her heart ever since we met.The first time I saw her? I thought it was love at first sight.She was so sweet and so innocent without much experience in life and relationships. She didn't want to go out with me at first, so I had to be persuasive. I didn't want to seem desperate, but at the same time, I didn't want to lose my chance with her. So I kept trying until she said yes.I thought she felt the same about me, but everything changed when she decided to move back to Miami. That put a dent in my plan to make things official with her. And now, I have to deal with her asshole stepbrother.Adrian Reed.What the fuck was his problem anyway?He acted more like her jealous boyfriend than her brother, so I was deeply suspicious of him. I decided to keep an eye on him and make sure there was no funny business between them.And I didn't trust him, not at all.It was as if h
My Heartless Stepbrother 33. I want is is what's best for her
ADRIAN I watched Chase intently. We didn't speak to each other for a long minute as I tried to gather my thoughts. He didn't have his plastic grin painted on his face this time. Maybe almost dying made him humble. "You are looking better," I commented to break the silence. "Thanks. Luckily, the reaction doesn't last long after the shots," he said dryly. "Good to know," I said and exhaled slowly. Something about this guy made my stomach turn, and I had a feeling it wasn't just my jealousy. It was something deeper than that. "What did you want to talk about?" Chase asked. "You know I have nothing to do with your allergic reaction back there, right?" I said. Chase shook his head. "Who said you had anything to do with what happened? I never accused you of such a thing." "No. But I wanted to make things clear between us. I do not like you, that much is obvious, but I don't wish you were dead. I'm not a goddamn criminal," I barked. "Yes, I didn't think so. You don't have what it tak

My Heartless Stepbrother 90. Epilogue
ADRIAN I jumped to my left to dodge the flying piece of strawberry shortcake with cream cheese frosting. Fortunately, it missed my ear by an inch, landing on an empty chair. Phew... That was close. Whose idea was it to put a one year old in charge of a whole cake? Meghan Parker, that's who. "Am I allowed to take it away from her yet? I shot her an intense glare for the fourth time. Maggie giggled. "No, just a few more pictures." "Pictures of what?" "Our daughter!" "That's not our daughter. That's a cake slugging demon child. Look at her. She doesn't even have a face anymore. It just looks like a giant blob of frosting," I point at Olivia, who had smashed her whole face on the cake a few times while giggling like a maniac. I guess that's why they call it a 'smash cake.' I'm glad she is enjoying her party, though. "ADRIAN!" Maggie scolded me. "I'm kidding! Gosh. I love Olivia. She is my favorite daughter," I winced. "Your only daughter," Natasha remarked, then walked over to
My Heartless Stepbrother 89. Sweet Home Alabama
MEGHAN It's Christmas day today, and Adrian was home again to spend it with us. After we found out I was pregnant two months ago, Adrian went back to training. I asked him not to tell our parents anything, and he agreed, begrudgingly so. I promised him I'd take care of myself and the baby in his absence. I had to keep wearing baggy clothes because I was starting to show way more. It was getting harder to hide my pregnancy from my mom and Steve. "Stop being so nervous," Adrian scolded me when I acted restless. Our parents threw a Christmas party with our friends and family, and he already threatened to reveal everything to them. "I can't help it. You said you are going to announce it to everyone. How are you going to do it? Because I don't want to do it," I said. "You will see. It's a surprise I created." Adrian grinned mischievously. I don't trust him. "Leave everything to me," he said again. "Why do you have to do this now and ruin Christmas?" I winced. "It's a great time to
My Heartless Stepbrother 88. Let's Go Shopping
ADRIANI waited outside the bathroom patiently as Maggie took her test. This was nerve-wracking, but I tried to remain calm.Everything is going to be fine.I was about to get a good job and will buy a nice house in Alaska. So, if Maggie is pregnant, we could raise our kid there.Our parents weren’t home yet, so it was just Maggie and me, thankfully.“How much longer?” I yelled.“Two more minutes.”Shit, only one minute has passed? Why did it feel like an eternity?I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard Maggie scream.“NO!”“Maggie? What’s wrong?” I asked. Maybe the test came out negative, and Maggie is disappointed?The door burst open, and Maggie came out with a frantic expression on her face. “This…this can’t be right.” She shoved the stick toward me, waving it. “This is all your fault!”I took it off her hand and smiled. Two lines…that could mean one thing.“Maggie! You are pregnant. Congratulations to us!”“What? Don’t congratulate us! This is a disaster,” she said, tears dr
My Heartless Stepbrother 87. Maggie and I are Together
MEGHAN "Adrian! Oh my god, I missed you so much!" Tiffany screamed and tried to jump into Adrian's arms, but he grabbed her shoulders, slightly pushing her away from him. "Hey, Tiff. I missed you guys too," he said casually, then winked at me as if to tell me not to get jealous. She was just a friend like Luke as far as he was concerned. "Oh, hey, Meghan. Nice dress. Seems a little tight on you, isn't it?" she said slightly. Is she trying to make a fat joke? I was annoyed already, and I'd only been here for five minutes. "Hey, guys! You made it!" Luke yelled from across the room and then made his way to us. He wrapped one arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer. "Looking hot, Maggie." "Hey, keep your hands to yourself, Lucas," Adrian barked. Tiffany giggled. "Why should he? She is his girlfriend." "Not anymore," Adrian said. Whoa, are we announcing our break up already? "What do you mean, not anymore? Did Luke break up with Maggie already?" Tiffany looked at me curiously.
My Heartless Stepbrother 86. Do We Have to Go?
ADRIANI stared at Maggie, who looked utterly dumbfounded by my announcement. She looked almost terrified. Was the idea of moving with me that terrible? I knew she would hesitate since her mom lives here, but I thought we would get away from them. They didn't want us to be together anyway."Maggie, are you okay?" I asked after she didn't say anything for a while."I…I don't understand what you mean," she said meekly."You don't understand? What part confuses you?" I raised my eyebrow."What do you mean move in with you? Move in where?" she asked.I guess it was taking her a while to fathom what was going on."After all the training and seeing my performance, they offered me a permanent position in the fire department. So, I was thinking I should take the job and move to Alaska permanently," I explained.Maggie still looked confused. Was she not understanding what I was trying to tell her? "Move to Alaska? Permanently? Then what will happen to me?"I chuckled. This girl was really maki
My Heartless Stepbrother 85. Reunion.
MEGHAN On Saturday, I woke up feeling hungrier than ever. It was the weekend Adrian was supposed to come home, but he hadn't even called me. Loneliness wrapped around me.Our parents were working this weekend, but Adrian was only coming home for my sake, so he didn't care. But the question was why he hadn't shown up yet.I stretched under the covers, blinking when my nose caught the smell of bacon. Music blasted from the kitchen, and I slowly sat up with a smile spreading over my lips. He was home. Hurriedly, I found my pajamas and stalked out of the bedroom. The music was getting louder, and Adrian was whistling along. It made my heart pound faster and faster until he came into view.There, recently showered and only wearing a pair of boxer briefs, Adrian shook his round ass while making breakfast. "OH YEAH, YEAH!" Adrian was listening to an old Bruno Mars song. He broke a few eggs, danced, and moved along with the music, but all I could focus on was his broad back roped with m
My Heartless Stepbrother 84. Dating Her?
ADRIANI punched the bag again and groaned in frustration."Take it easy, Adrian. You will hurt your knuckles," my trainer Kevin hissed at me. "What the hell is wrong with you anyway? You've been distracted and grumpy lately.""I have not been grumpy. I don't know what the hell you are talking about," I grumbled."Yeah, whatever. Just keep your head in the game, okay? You have three more months here, and then you get to go home, so no need to act out," Kevin said."I am not acting out. What the hell? Haven't I been showing how good I am at this? Haven't I been proving myself?""Yes, Adrian. You've been doing well. I'm not complaining about your effort out here. I'm just saying these past few days, you've been moody and distracted and I need you to keep your focus back on your job. So you don't mess it up.""I just don't know how to tell my girlfriend about my plans here," I decided to confide in Kevin. Since I moved here, we've become good friends, so I figured I could trust him."You
My Heartless Stepbrother 83. Dont You Miss Me?
MEGHANThree months later, it looked like Adrian would finally have some free time to come and visit me. It was about time.He had been hard to reach the entire day, though, so I was grumpy while we talked on the phone. "So you will be coming home?" I asked but tried not to sound too excited about the news. Adrian hadn't earned that for ignoring my messages all day."Yes, I'm coming home to you this weekend!" I could hear the beam he wore in his voice. "Aren't you excited?"I hummed, still pretending to be hard to catch. "I don't know...""You don't know? Maggie! It feels like three long years since I last saw your face! Facetiming doesn't count! I want to touch and see you in person. Take you out on a date. Surely you must miss me?"My chest constricted. I felt terrible lying to Adrian, but I couldn't help the mood swings I had been having lately. I went from sad to happy so fast these days that I was starting to believe I needed medication. It wasn't the only change I had gone t
My Heartless Stepbrother 82. Sick of Pretending
MEGHANOne month later,I promised myself I wouldn't cry and try to understand where he was coming from, but it still hurt to see him go."I will visit every chance I get, Maggie," he had said, kissing my forehead."But you said you'd be in intense training and won't be able to visit," I sobbed.He said nothing because what I said was true. So why was he making empty promises? It would only make things harder on me.And then he was gone, and I was all alone again.This past month felt like it went in slow motion. Adrian called me every night, and we tried to do video chats, but it wasn't the same.I missed his touch, I craved it.Mom told Adrian and me not to say anything to Steve because it might make things worse, so we kept our relationship a secret from him. Finally, Adrian promised her that we'd break up before he left for Alaska, and mom didn't question him any more. Maybe when he comes back, we'll find a different way to be together."Maggie! Luke is here!" my mom called from t
