He hushed me with another kiss, slow this time, his fingers sliding under the thin fabric, finding exactly where I was soaked for him.
I shuddered, my head falling back as his fingers brushed against my clit. “So fucking wet,” he murmured, his breath warm against my throat. “All this for me?” I couldn’t even answer. My knees felt weak as he slipped a finger inside, curling it just right. I whimpered. His lips curved against my skin. “Thought you hated me, Evie.” I gritted my teeth. “Shut up.” He chuckled, his finger moving in slow motion. My eyes rolled up as my thighs shook. Fuck. And then he added another. My nipples were hard, pressing against my bra. The pleasure was too good, goosebumps started to appear on my skin. 9 months without sex. Without him and only day dreaming about how his big cock would fill me. My breath hitched as he set a rhythm, moving in and out, his thumb rubbing my clit, more wetness filled his hand as the sound of his hand smacking into me filled the night air. The pleasure was dragging me higher, torturing me with how well he knew exactly what to do. He was watching me now, eyes dark, hungry. “Fuck, you look good like this,” he muttered, his fingers pressing deeper, finding the spot that made me see stars. I cried out, gripping onto him. His smirk widened. “Gonna cum for me, baby?” I hated how much I loved hearing that. How velvety his voice was, I bit my lips as I tried to look at him, he was looking at me as if I was the only thing in the world as his fingers moved inside of me. His other hand brought down the V neck of my dress, removing my breasts from the bra. He leaned down capturing a nipple in his mouth. I groaned, I bit my lips to try to lower my moans but I couldn't. I felt like I was floating in heaven. His hands went to my throat clasping it as he sucked my nipples and pounded me with his fingers. His tongue twirled around it, lapping around the hardened peak and I couldn't resist. I shattered, my body tightening around his fingers as waves of pleasure crashed over me, my breath coming in ragged gasps as he worked me through it, his touch too good to resist. He didn’t pull away, didn’t stop touching me until I physically had to grab his wrist, my body trembling from the aftermath. He finally removed his fingers, but not before bringing them to his lips, licking them clean. “Jesus,” I breathed, my face burning. He just grinned, stepping back slightly, his confidence radiating. But then I looked down. I saw how hard he was, how thick he looked pressing against his pants. And I felt bold. Still hazy from my orgasm, I reached for his belt, surprising even myself. His smirk faltered, his chest rising and falling as my fingers worked his buckle. “Evie, you don’t have to—” “I want to,” I interrupted, looking up at him. “And I don’t like owing you one.” His gaze darkened. I got his belt undone, his zipper down, and then he was in my hand, hot, thick, heavy. It bounced in my hands, I think he may have grown a bit. I wasn't too sure. Maybe it's just that I missed it. I looked around to be sure no one would see us at this corner then back at his dick. I licked my lips. His jaw tensed. “Fuck,” he muttered. “You’re gonna kill me.” I didn’t give him a chance to say anything else. I lowered myself to my knees, my breath warm against his skin, and took the head of his cock into my mouth, sucking lightly. His groan was almost enough to make me ache again. I took more of him in, hollowing my cheeks, my hand moving in rhythm with my mouth. His fingers threaded through my hair, but he didn’t force me—he just watched, eyes locked on me, completely transfixed. I moved faster, swirling my tongue around the tip of his cock, tasting pre cum as I sucked on it, loving the way his muscles tensed beneath my touch. “Evie,” he rasped. “Fuck. Just like that.” His hips jerked slightly, a low growl rumbling in his chest. I hummed against him, let it go with a plop sound, I leaned down taking his balls into my mouth, sucking on it, he moaned. I let it go, using my hand to grab his balls, holding it as I sucked on his dick again, taking him deeper, letting my throat tighten around him, and that was it. His head fell back, his grip on my hair tightening. “Shit—” I felt him pulse on my tongue, and then he was spilling into my mouth, a deep groan escaping his lips as he shuddered above me. I swallowed, licking the tip, savoring the taste of him before finally pulling back. His breathing was ragged, his eyes dark as he stared down at me. For once, Ryder had nothing to say. I wiped the corner of my mouth, tilting my head. “Still think I’ll fall for you?” I teased. His gaze flickered, and then, finally, he smirked. “Oh, baby,” he murmured. “I know you already have.” I rolled my eyes and pushed to my feet, fixing my dress. But I didn’t deny it. **** Ryder had sneaked out before I even had the chance to fully gather myself. Which was good. Because if he had stayed any longer, I might have done something reckless. Like drag him back behind one of the hedges and see just how much more I could take. I exhaled sharply, fixing my dress, running my fingers through my hair, and making sure I didn’t look like a girl who had just sucked her soon to be stepbrother’s dick in a garden. God. I was going to hell. Swallowing hard, I made my way back inside, slipping through the grand doors into the main hall. The air was still buzzing from the earlier drama, but the tension had mostly settled. Guests were sipping champagne again, voices returning to their usual high-society hum. I tried to act normal. I tried not to focus on anyone. But the second I stepped inside, my mother spotted me. Her eyes were red. My heart clenched. “Oh, my dear,” she murmured, moving toward me quickly, pulling me into a warm hug. I froze for a second before wrapping my arms around her, inhaling her soft, expensive perfume—only to realize something horrifying. I smelled like cum.I didn't want to smell my cum when my mother hugged me. That would be so disgusting. The thought. Literally the most mortifying thing ever. Oh. My. God.Panic shot through me as I stayed very still, praying she wouldn’t notice, praying nobody would notice.I tried to breathe.Think of literally anything else.“You were amazing today, Evelyn,” Mum said softly, pulling back to cup my face. “I saw what you did. How you stood up for me.”I swallowed hard, nodding. “Of course, Mum.”Her smile wobbled slightly. “You don’t know what that meant to me.”I didn’t know what to say to that.Because despite everything, despite the years of struggling with her choices, despite the frustration, I loved my mother.And I hated seeing her hurt.So I forced a small smile. “You don’t have to worry, okay? You deserve this.”She exhaled shakily, pressing a kiss to my forehead. “You’re the best thing that ever happened to me, Evie.”I felt guilt claw at my chest.Because just minutes ago, I had been on
I had no idea who I was kissing.I mean, who would care on a high school graduation night?And best of all, on my nineteenth birthday.It was the perfect night to have such great, forbidden sex.My lips crushed against his, hungry and reckless, tasting the tang of whiskey lingering on his tongue. His hands, large and calloused, gripped my waist through thee thin, light fabric of the sundress I had worn, a soft yellow thing with spaghetti straps that clung to me in all the right places.Beneath it, my nipples were stiff peaks pressing against the flimsy lace of my bra, a fact that hadn’t escaped his attention when his hands slid lower, teasing the curve of my hips.The small house party was just background noise, laughter, music, the clink of glasses, but the only thing I could focus on was him. He smelled like aftershave and sweat, intoxicating in the way danger always is.When his lips left mine and found the curve of my neck, a shaky moan slipped from me before I could stop it. My
The room was dimly lit, shadows flickering across the walls as he knelt between my legs, his broad shoulders framed by the faint glow of the bedside lamp. My thighs were spread wide, pussy wet, his fing rs moved slowly down my inner thighs. Fingers slowly touching my swollen clit. Damn. His eyes locked on mine, dark and filled with desire, as he positioned himself at my entrance.I could feel the blunt head of his cock pressing against me, teasing, stretching the slick folds of my pussy.The anticipation was maddening, and I whimpered, lifting my hips to meet him, desperate for more.“Patience,” he growled, his voice low and rough, sending a shiver down my spine.But I didn’t want patience. I wanted him, deep, hard, all of him. I was a girl who depended on masturbation for pleasure. My interactions with penetration was a dildo. “Please,” I begged, my voice cracking as my hands clutched at the sheets beneath me.He didn’t make me wait long. With one slow, deliberate thrust, he sa
Nine months later.“I want to hold another party, in celebration of you getting into Crestfield!” Elara shrieked through the phone, her voice bright and obnoxiously chipper.“Elara, no. Absolutely not,” I groaned, balancing my phone between my shoulder and ear as I tossed my keys onto the kitchen counter.“Come on, Evie,” she whined, dragging my name out like a kid begging for candy. “You’re officially a college student now. You’re supposed to be wild and crazy. Live a little!”“First of all,” I said, rolling my eyes as I opened the fridge, only to find it depressingly empty. “I got into Crestfield because I had no other choice. It’s not Ravencrest, and it’s not what I wanted.”“Boo-hoo,” Elara mocked, her dramatic tone practically dripping through the phone. “So what if Crestfield isn’t Ravencrest? At least you’re going to college and studying engineering, which is, like, the most Evie thing ever.”I sighed, shutting the fridge door and leaning against the counter. “Elara, do you eve
My mother’s face twisted, her painted lips pulling into a frown as she crossed her arms. “Evelyn Marie Hayes,” she snapped, her voice sharp and full of the authority she rarely earned. “That is no way to speak to your mother.”She was using all three of my names now. It was her favorite move when she was mad or trying to guilt me into submission.“And abandoning your daughter is no way to be a mother,” I shot back, turning away from her.I clenched my fists, biting the inside of my cheek to keep from saying something worse. “Why are you even here?” I muttered, staring at the wall instead of her.She sighed, the kind of exasperated, dramatic noise she always made when she wasn’t getting her way. “If you paid any attention to rich people news, you’d know why.”I turned back to face her, arms crossed over my chest. “I don’t care about rich people and their problems, Mom. I have enough of my own.”Her lips twitched into a smirk, one that made me immediately suspicious. Without a word, she
Elara was here to be my support, but you see my mum?My mum didn’t like Elara. She kept staring at her with this thinly veiled look of disgust, like she couldn’t believe I had the audacity to bring her along.Elara, of course, noticed. She always noticed. But she didn’t care.She sat cross-legged in the plush chair of the exclusive beauty salon, fiddling with the rings on her fingers. Her bright purple hair fell in loose waves over her shoulders, clashing spectacularly with the neon green crop top and plaid skirt she’d chosen for the day. Add in her mismatched earrings, one shaped like a star, the other a crescent moon, and she w I'mas a walking middle finger to the word conformity.“Elara, dear,” my mum said, her voice dripping with forced politeness. “Don’t you think you’d be more comfortable waiting outside?”Elara smirked, leaning back in her chair like she owned the place. “Nope. I’m perfectly comfortable right here. Thanks for asking, though.”I stifled a laugh, earning a shar
It had to be a dream.Please tell me it’s a dream.A nightmare.How in the world did the guy I had the best sex with become my stepbrother?!It was supposed to be a probability of zero, maybe even negative numbers, but here I was, sitting at a dining table so extravagant it looked like something out of a movie. And there he was, Ryder, sitting across from me, his dark hair perfectly messy in a way that made me want to pull it, his lips curled into that same smirk I remembered all too well.His eyes didn’t leave me, not for a second.I tried my best not to blush. Not to give out the signal that we knew each other.Or the fact that I had cleared at those muscles. Moaned and screamed his name as he pounded into me. Okay stop it Evie. Not cool. “So,” he said, his voice smooth as he leaned back in his chair, clearly enjoying himself. “Who are you?”I blinked, my brain short-circuiting under his gaze. “I’m… uh…um…”“Evelyn,” my mum said quickly, cutting in before I embarrassed myself fu
I gulped, stepping back until my back hit the railings.“A coincidence…yeah. I agree.”He chuckled. That deep, rumbling chuckle that rose from his throat and sent a shiver straight down my spine.“Are you nervous?” he asked, cocking his head slightly to the right as he adjusted the sleeves of his suit jacket.I couldn’t help but stare at his arms, at the way the fabric stretched over his muscles, at the veins that bulged with every small movement. I swallowed hard, and his lips curled into that infuriating smirk. He noticed. Of course, he noticed.Before I could think of a response, he took a step forward. Then another.Long strides closed the distance between us in seconds.He placed one hand on the railings behind me, then the other, boxing me in. His face was just inches from mine now, his dark eyes locked on me with an intensity that made my knees weak.“What’s wrong, Evie?” he murmured, his voice low and teasing. “You’re not usually this quiet.”I inhaled sharply, trying to pul

I stepped back. “Is this one of your tricks to make me fall for you?”An unreadable emotion flickered through Ryder’s eyes, something quick, almost too quick for me to catch. But then, just as fast, it was gone, hidden beneath that signature smirk of his as he leaned back against the fountain like he had all the time in the world.“I don’t need tricks, Evie,” he drawled. “You’ll fall for me eventually.”I let out a sharp laugh. “Wow. The ego.”He grinned. “Confidence, baby.”I rolled my eyes and turned away slightly, looking around. The garden was breathtaking, roses, ivy-covered arches, little lanterns hanging from trees, casting a soft golden glow. The venue itself felt like something out of a damn fairy tale.“You know,” I said, trailing my fingers along the marble edge of the fountain, “for all the drama that just happened inside, this place is actually beautiful.”Ryder hummed. “Alexander doesn’t do anything halfway. Even in his own estate, he has an amazing venue built just for
Gasps filled the room.A woman covered her mouth, eyes wide with shock. Someone else whispered, “Did she just say…?”I didn’t care.I meant what I said.Riley looked stunned for a split second before her lips curled into a sneer. “You’re lying.”I exhaled sharply, my body trembling. “No, I’m not.”“You’re just making excuses for your mother,” she snapped. “Playing the poor little victim so people will feel bad for you.”I let out a bitter laugh. “Victim?” I stepped closer, my voice calm, steady. “Do you know what it’s like to wonder where your next meal is coming from? To watch your mother strip in a club because it was the only way she could feed her child?”Riley’s eyes flickered, but I didn’t stop.“My mother did whatever she had to do to survive. It wasn’t perfect. It wasn’t right. But she did it—for me,” I said, my voice breaking slightly. “And your mother? She wasn’t innocent either.”Riley’s jaw clenched. “She—”“She is a terrible mother who made you obsessed with her by starvi
My eyes never left Riley for one minute.Even if it meant not enjoying my day.I wouldn’t let her ruin anything.The bridal shower was in full swing, laughter and chatter filling the air as games were played. Guess the wedding dress design, Bridal Bingo, Who Knows the Bride Best?—all of it blending into a mix of champagne-fueled fun.Mum was glowing, basking in the attention, while Marissa ran the show like the socialite powerhouse she was.“Come on, ladies! Last round,” Marissa announced, her voice full of amusement. “Let’s see who knows Lorelei best.”Mum laughed, shaking her head as guests shouted out answers to random questions about her favorite foods, colors, and the wedding plans. It was silly, extravagant, and absolutely her.I tried to enjoy it.I tried to focus on the games, on the laughter, on the absurdity of watching a bunch of rich women play wedding charades.But my gaze kept flicking back to Riley.She sat at her table, perfectly poised, sipping her champagne with an a
Elara squealed. “Shut up!Really? It has gotten to that point?”She had a fit, laughing and all.I groaned, rubbing my forehead. “Elara, this is serious.”“This is hilarious,” she corrected, still wheezing. “I knew you wanted him, but having a wet dream? Oh, babe, you’re down bad.”I scowled. “I do not want him.”“Elara, you literally just called me at ass o’clock in the morning because you woke up soaked thinking about his dick.”I winced. “Can you not say it like that?”She giggled. “Okay, fine. Let me put it in scientific terms. You had a sexually charged dream featuring your stepbrother-to-be, and your cognitive dissonance is causing emotional distress.”“Elara.”“You want him, Evie,” she pressed, voice dripping with amusement. “So bad.”I flopped back against my pillows, letting out a strangled groan. “No, I don’t.”“Liar.”“I hate him.”She snorted. “Hate-fucking is a thing.”I slapped my forehead. “You’re a bad friend.”She gasped. “I am the best friend. You’re just in denial. D
I thought of what me and Mum talked about in the car.I couldn’t help but wonder if that’s why he acted like a sex addict sometimes.Ryder didn’t just flirt, he seduced. He pulled people in, made them want him. But he never let anyone have him, not really. It was all surface-level charm, a game he played flawlessly.And one I am failing woefully at it seems. I sighed, pulling my shirt over my head as I stepped into the shower. The hot water hit my skin instantly, rolling down my shoulders, loosening the tension that had been sitting in my body since the bridal shop.I tilted my head back, letting the heat soak into my muscles, but my mind wouldn’t shut up.Ryder.Ryder with his cocky smirk. His rough voice. The way he had leaned in at the boutique, whispering filthy things in my ear like he owned me.His messages. Left boob from the right? I chuckled as I touched my boobs. But my fingers grazing my nipples made me shiver. My breath hitched.I reached for the showerhead.The detacha
The bridal shop was exactly what I expected, overly luxurious, filled with silk and lace and the strong scent of overpriced perfume that made my nose tickle. Women walked around sipping champagne while stylists fluttered over them, draping them in fabrics that probably cost more than my rent.Mum was in her element.“Oh, finally,” she said as I walked in. “Come, come, sit! I’m about to try on the next dress.”I slumped into one of the plush chairs, exhaling as I pulled out my phone.If she was serious about this whole bridal shower thing, she needed to do it right.I pulled up a quick search:When should a bridal shower be held?Typically, bridal showers are held one to three months before the wedding.I frowned. “Mum, when exactly is the wedding?”She peeked out from behind the dressing room curtain. “Oh, darling, you know that! Next month.”No I don't know that. Tsk. I stared at her with a blank expression. “Then why are you planning a bridal shower now?”She waved a hand. “Because
My heart stopped for a second.“Oh my God,” Elara whisper-screamed, gripping my wrist. “This is like straight-up forbidden romance fanfic level of drama! I knew there was something there!”“No,” I said quickly, locking my phone. “There is nothing there.”Elara scoffed. “You’re so full of shit.”“I’m blocking him,” I said, my thumb hovering over his contact.“Don’t you dare!” she gasped, grabbing my phone like it was a national treasure.“Give it back, Elara!” I lunged for it, but she dodged expertly, holding the phone above her head.“Evie, let’s be logical,” she said, twirling away from me. “This is Ryder Freaking Caldwell. The hottest, most unattainable guy at Ravencrest, and he is texting you. Asking for tit pics, no less. Like, are you hearing yourself? You’re about to ruin something beautiful.”I groaned, trying again to snatch my phone back. “I don’t want something beautiful! I want peace!”She gasped dramatically, clutching her chest. “Peace is overrated. Horny stepbrothers are
