MercyCrownSo I’ve noticed a few comments about this before but I wanted the story to just play out and give the answers. However, most of the comments from yesterdays chapter was about it so I’d just address it. I’ve never written any chapter or scene unnecessarily. Every chapter I write contributes to the book’s plot and that’s something I pre planned before starting, and one I must stick with if I want this book to turn out the way I want. I get your frustrations with the indecisions, but I promise we’re nearing where everyone is highly anticipating so rest assured I’m not causing any setbacks. Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed the two chapters. We’re now top 18 on New books. Don’t forget to shower the book with gems so we can go higher on in the rankings!

ELIZABETH. Mom yawns and rubs her somewhat tired eyes. "Are you guys good? I thought I heard screams." She utters, her eyes nearly closing as she looks between them, and I throw James a glare before I move toward Mom. I put on a smile as I wrap my hand around her shoulder. "Of course we are, mom. Just arguing about some funny stuff." "You sure?" She asks, opening her eyes fully again, and I nod as I lead her back in the direction of her room. "Yeah, I’m sure. Now get back to sleep; it’s quite late." "Good night James." She says over her shoulder, and I hear his small response as I take her back to her room. I stop when I’m only a few feet away, and she presses a kiss to my cheek. "Sweet dreams, beauty." She mutters, and I watch as she strides in. I make sure I hear the slam of the door before I turn to leave, my chest heaving as I adjust the strap of my handbag. When I get back to the living room, James is nowhere to be found, and I cuss under my breath before I walk up the stair

ELIZABETH. We finally arrive at the beach house, and my mouth drops as I climb out of the car, standing before the villa. Christ, it looks so expensive. The body is covered mostly in glass, and it’s surrounded by tall trees; the breeze from the blowing leaves giving a surreal feeling to the environment. And the best part is, it seems to be the only house in this part, though I saw Gabriel drive past some. They’re, however, a bit away from here, so it’s just us. "Wow. You picked a good one," James compliment as the rest get out of the car, and I smile, nodding in agreement. "I told you, you’ll like it," Mom boasts as Gabriel and James move to the trunk, and I lift a brow. "Have you been here? How do you know that?" "I haven’t, but Gabriel showed me pictures. It looks exactly as it was in those pictures. He’s got good taste, don’t you think?" She sighs, a smile on her face as she stares at the house, and I nod. "Thank you," I say to James with a smile as he passes me my suitcase.

ELIZABETH. "Where are y’all headed?" Danielle asks when we arrive in the living room, and Andrea wraps her hands around her mom from behind. "To the bonfire to have some fun. I told you earlier at dinner." "Alright, don’t stay out late," Danielle warns, and Andrea grins, pressing a kiss to her cheek before she removes her hands. "We won’t." "Have fun, honey." Mom waves with a smile when Andrea joins us, and I chuckle, waving back before I turn away and we all walk out of the room. "Since when have you been going to this thing?" I hear James ask Andrea, and she says, "I go with Cara every year when we come here." "Oh. That sounds good." He replies, and the rest of their conversation drowns out as they walk ahead of us while me and Cara walk behind. I let out a sigh as my eyes move down Andrea’s body, and I can’t help comparing how sexy she looks in ripped bum shorts and the tight crop top that’s practically showing her nipples because she’s braless to the short skirt and thin strap

JAMES. I stare at her with eyes widened, feeling the thumps of my heart in my chest. "What? You mean that?" Elizabeth nods, pushing her chest forward, and my eyes dart to it before I meet her gaze, and she says, "I do. I want you." "Right here?" I repeat her request, and she bobs her head with a smile. "Elizabeth, you’re sure about what you’re saying? You want me to…" I pause and swipe my tongue over my lips, and my cock strains painfully against my pants at the mere thought of burying myself in her. "You want me to take your… I’ll take your..." "Yes, James." She chuckles, helping me from my stutter. "I want you to take my innocence." My heart hammers in my chest, and I swallow. Holy shit. I’ll fuck her. For the first time? As her first time? Christ, we haven’t even started, and I already feel amazing, tingles shooting across my body. I let out another shaky breath. "You won’t wake up tomorrow morning and tell me you regret it or try to–" Elizabeth must be tired of my repetitiv

ELIZABETH. James quickly clasps a hand over my mouth, his panicked eyes staring at me as he stills. I moan against his palm, and he slowly lowers the restraint. "Are you okay?" I nod as a tear slides down my cheek, and James turns his head to check the door before he meets my eyes again. "Just try to lower your voice if you don’t want me to be snatched away from on top of you before you finish." He jokes, a smile dancing at the corners of his lips. "Move," I tell him, and he nods, pressing a hand to my waist as he slides out, then plunges in again. I sink my teeth harshly into my lips, almost enough to draw blood at the pain that surges through my body, and I throw my head to the back, my hand veins popping from how hard I’m gripping the sheets. "I’m sorry," James whispers above me, and when my eyes drop to him, his forehead is covered in sweat, his wet strands sticking to the skin, and I can feel his worry for me as he takes me slowly, but even with his slow, focused thrusts; it f

ELIZABETH. I got too lost in James and forgot we aren’t the only ones here. The house is full of people who could potentially hear our voices or barge in on us at any second. "Oh. The door is shut." James laughs, and I move my head up. "Sorry, I forgot I locked the door last night." He whispers, and I open my mouth to respond, but the voice comes again. "James? Are you in? You up yet?" The person questions, and James drops his gaze on me. "It’s Andrea." He tells me, and I frown as he moves off the bed. "I’m coming!" He calls out, and I slide back underneath the covers, listening to the ruffle of clothes, the sound of footsteps, then the click of the lock. "Hey, good morning." She greets. "Can I come in?" Oh fuck. I hold my breath as I press my hands to my stomach, careful not to make a sound as I hear James say. "Yeah, sure. Why not?" I hear the sound of the door closing, then nearing footsteps, and I shut my eyes, breathing through my nose. "You disappeared yesterday without a w

ELIZABETH. James' lips move fast against mine, and the sound of our moans fills the small space of the stall as he carries me in his arms. I thread my fingers through his curls with my other hand resting on his back, and I whimper when he squeezes my ass. When he pulls away from the kiss, I immediately press my lips to his neck, leaving small kisses across the skin before I lick his earlobe, and he groans. When I pull back to meet his eyes, his pupils are dilated, and my heart skips a beat when he parts his lips to say, "I want you." He presses into me, further confirming his statement, and I moan as I tighten my legs around his waist, encouraging him to take me the way he wants. James snatches my phone from my hand and leaves it next to his on the bench before he wraps one hand around my waist, gripping me tightly as his other hand travels up my inner thigh, and I’m thankful for the short button-down dress I have on cause he’s able to quickly find my wet core without much struggle.

ELIZABETH. My mouth falls open, and I stare at Cara without uttering a word. When I finally regain myself from the shock of her words, I stutter, "I– um. I don’t know what you’re talking about. What do you mean, James and I?" I chuckle awkwardly, and she drops her book to her lap as she leans closer to me. "I can tell." "Tell what?" I respond curtly as I look away from her sharp gaze, and I hear her chuckle. "You don’t have to deny it. I’ve watched you long enough to know you like James. I’ve seen the way you look at him when you think no one is watching." My heart is pounding in my chest as I return my eyes to Cara. Was I that obvious? She replies as if she’s reading my thoughts. "No, you were not really obvious, but it’s hard for something to escape your grasp when you’re really studying someone. It didn’t take me long to find out." I swallow, and she continues. "And I’ve seen the way James looks at you too. I think he likes you." She thinks. Oh, so she thinks James and I like eac

My Stepbrother Bonus Chapter - James + Elizabeth 02
ELIZABETH.—TWO MONTHS LATER.Miley is saying something about organizing a party for my birthday, but I’m not paying attention as my gaze runs along the words on my screen, my left palm pressed to my cheek. As if she’s right here with me and knows I’m not listening, her voice booms through the speaker, "Elizabeth? You’re not listening to me, are you?"I gaze at the phone on the desk, and the screen reads for fifteen minutes. I think I stopped paying attention around five minutes, but I still lie and say, "Of course I am.""What were my last words?""You were saying…" I trail off and there’s silence on her side. "… something about Darcy and a party.""Elizabeth!" I can imagine the frown on her face as she calls my name and I chuckle, finally grabbing the phone as I lean back in my chair. "Sorry, I’m just busy with work. I really don’t want a party, Mile.""Are you leaving for James?"I purse my lips, a small wave of sadness hitting me and my voice is small when I answer, "No. He’s busy,
My Stepbrother Bonus Chapter - James + Elizabeth
ELIZABETH.—FOUR YEARS LATER.I’m nervous.My harsh breathing fills the tiny space of the car and I rub my palms together before I look out the window with my heart racing in my chest.Everything goes past me in a blur. Houses, shops and restaurants. And the closer the car gets me to him, the faster my heart pounds; so loud that I can no longer hear the words the driver is uttering to me.I don’t know why I’m this nervous.Actually, I do. I haven’t seen him in almost a year. It shouldn’t be any big deal since we speak occasionally over the phone; video calls, voice calls, texts. We tried to remain close in every way possible and although I had tried hard to convince myself those were more than enough; I knew they couldn’t compare to seeing him with my naked eyes. Like I’m about to do very soon.I’ve been counting down the days until I’ll stand before James and now that it’s come, I can’t help the nervousness that spikes through me. Along with a tiny fear. I don’t want it to be there, b
My Stepbrother NOTE!
Hello loves,First, I’d love to thank you all for being so patient with me on this book. Despite the long gap between the updates and my disappearance, you still waited patiently for James and Elizabeth’s story and no words can describe how thankful I am to have you all. I won’t lie; I wasn’t so sure I’d be able to find the excitement I felt when I first started this book again because I was away from the characters for so long. But I did. I found the spark I had from the beginning and I enjoyed the time I spent writing this book. Thank you all so much for pushing me and forcing me out—though some comments were harsh, I still appreciate them all haha.Now to my updating schedule.It’s been a mess, hasn’t it? I know there’s been too much gap between my updates and you might not believe me when I say this, but I hate missing frequent/daily updates just as much as y’all do. It makes me less disciplined and incompetent when I don’t write as much as I plan to and I especially hate disappoin

ELIZABETH.~A MONTH LATER.We stayed in San Francisco for a week and only left after Lily’s discharge. When we got back to Los Angeles, I could still tell everything that happened back there took a toll on James. Although he tried to hide it, tried to smile more; it was evident everything he learned from his parents had taken something from him and I was scared for a long time he’d never get that back.But he did… or at least he’s trying.His eyes are no longer as dull as they seemed when we first arrived, and I can see the spark in them. Each of the smiles he throws at me now is genuine and he spends less time trying to hide the pain he feels. He’s being himself again—he’s being my James, and he’s back to me.I haven’t felt as at ease as I did six nights ago when he woke me up in the middle of the night and just laid his head on my chest as he cried in my arms. He poured out his pain to me one last time and since then, he can speak about his mom without looking like it’s the last thin

ELIZABETH.James' brows crease at Gabriel’s words, and I squeeze my hand in his as my heart pounds in my chest."What? What are you talking about?" James asks and Gabriel shakes his head, a sad look in his eyes. "I’m sorry, son. She left.""What do you mean, she left?" James' voice raises higher and Gabriel swallows, "I was just—she was here when I arrived. She was asleep, and I just went to the reception to settle the bills and make some inquiries, but when I got back; she was gone. And your sister was crying. She said Zara left and said to not look for her."I feel my heart breaks in my chest for both of them and James' grip on my hand gets increasingly tighter till it starts to hurt but I don’t pull away. He remains silent and just stares at the man before us—who looks just as shaken by the revelation."I’m so sorry, I didn’t—""No." James voices out now and his tight grip starts to loosen. I hear him exhale before he says, "It’s good she left, and like you said; she doesn’t want t

JAMES."I thought you left," Elizabeth sighs in my arms, her grip around me growing tighter and I smile as I finally drop a hand on her back, pressing her closer to me. "And where would I go, love?"She pulls back by a bit so she can look into my eyes and her lips push out as she speaks. "I don’t know. I just thought—""Thought I’d run from you?" I finish for her and when she doesn’t respond, I lean down to take her lips. It’s meant to be just a soft reassuring peck, but Elizabeth moves her hands to my neck, deepening the kiss as her fingers play with the hair at the back of my head and I move a hand to her cheek, tilting her head back so I can plunge my tongue inside her mouth.She cups my neck with a palm, her fingers digging into the skin as she moans into the kiss and I move my free hand to the small of her back; I rest it on her ass as my tongue clashes against hers, heat spreading across my skin at the taste and feel of her.When I feel my pants tightening at the front, I start t

ELIZABETH.He doesn’t stop sobbing as he clings onto me as though he’s afraid he’d drift away if he doesn’t and with each loud cry that leaves his mouth, a piece of my heart breaks for him.I can feel the anguishing pain with each sound that leaves him, and his body shakes in my embrace. I let out a soft exhale as tears roll down my cheeks while I continue to slide a hand down his back, whispering soft promises I’ll do anything to keep. "You’ll be fine, baby. You’re alright. I’m here. I’m here with you."We stay in the position for what feels like long and after a while, his sobs quiet down, but he doesn’t move away from me, his breath hot on my neck and I swallow through the tightness of my throat. "I’m always here with you."The sound of our breathing echoes through the corners of the room and James starts to pull back. He removes his arms from around me but I keep the one hand on the back of his neck as I lift my gaze to stare at him. His eyes are red as he holds my gaze, and I giv

ELIZABETH.I run after him with my heart breaking for him, but he’s just too fast. He dashes through corners quickly before I can even catch up to him, but I don’t stop chasing after him, either.I know this must be too much for him, but I just want to be there for him. I want him to know someone hurts for him. But he doesn’t wait for me to do either of those things.When I rush out the entrance door and stop only a few steps away with my heart pounding in my chest and my eyes scanning the corners, I don’t see him.I don’t see James.The car is here, but he isn’t. He left. He ran without me.I push a hand through my hair before taking out my phone from the back pocket of the pants I have on—his pants. My pulse is racing as I press the phone to my ear after dialing his number, and it rings. It rings and my purse vibrates, reminding me that he left his phone with me on our way here.God, James. Please. Please, just be alright. Don’t do anything stupid and be fucking alright.Please.Drea

JAMES.Everything else shatters around me as I stare at her with disbelief coursing through my veins, wanting more than anything for her to take back those words—to tell me this is some kind of sick joke.She doesn’t.Instead, her tears fall even more as she proceeds to say, "I’m so sorry, Gabriel. I didn’t mean to—" a sob breaks out, and she shuts her eyes tightly. When she opens them again, they’re so red that it’s hard to act like she doesn’t know what she’s speaking about. She does. Oh God, she does."What are you saying, Zara?" Dad’s quiet voice comes, no doubt he’s as frightened as I am. "James is my son. He’s always been. He’s been from his birth, so why are you—""He isn’t." She insists, and I gulp down the bitterness that’s quickly rising in my throat. My hand shakes in hers and I quickly let go, fisting my hands in the fabric of my pants to try to stop the trembling. "I cheated. Years back. I was married to you, but I was in love with someone else.""Zara…""I’m sorry. I kno
