No sooner are the words out of my lips when Cathy jumps off me. She moves with the speed of light to confirm the door is locked. Her ass swings in her gown. Maybe it’s deliberate, maybe it’s not but I love the way the material clings to her curve.A wicked smile adorns her lips as she struts back to me. Standing over me with her hands on her waist, she nods towards the room. “Here or the bed?”
“The bed, of course.”
The first time has to be perfect. She pulls me up to my feet. I scoop her into my arms before she can protest and her legs instantly lock around my waist. Her eyes are alight with mischief but it’s the tenderness beneath that turns my heart to mush.
“Thank you,” she whispers.
Sincerely confused, I ask, “For what?”
I should be grateful to Cathy for her doggedness. We wouldn’t be here if she had listened to me. I kiss her again

To Tempt My Stepbrother 4 || To love my stepbrother
To love my stepbrother is to be utterly enamoured by him and everything he does. It’s like taking a trip to another world; a place I have always wanted to be. I’m happy in that place, cuddled in his arms after sex until we hear the sound of our parents car.Then everything comes crashing down.The next few seconds have both of us scrambling to fix ourselves. We hear our parents voices call out to us in greeting but our focus is on flushing the used condom, airing the room so it smells less of sex.“I don’t like this,” Calum says when we’re done cleaning. I unlock the door and return to him on the bed. With a grim smile, I lace our fingers. We can’t cuddle for fear of them showing up and meeting us in that position. I don’t want him to doubt us but I understand. He hugs me and my heart cracks. This will be tougher than I thought. In my head, it was easy. But reality is harsher. “I want to cud

I hate mornings. Because every time I wake, I’m reminded Calum won’t be there on the bed with me. All I have to remember our amazing nights are his lingering scent and the warm bed. He always sneaks off to his room before anyone wakes. Today, I’m particularly cranky because I’m losing sleep. It’s bad for me but midnight is our best time together. In school, we can’t get too close and there’s so little time between the drive to school.After getting dressed, I stomp out of my room. Dad stopped asking if I needed a ride since the new term began, he knows Calum will handle it. Calum’s door opens. We stare at each other, then he pulls me into his room. His lips are on mine before the door fully shuts. My brain falls asleep and my hands slide into his shirt. He groans into my mouth but I only kiss him harder. I know how much he loves it.“What was that for?” I breathe out, mouth so close t

Calum calls me two more times. I send texts to inform him of the change in plans but they go unreplied. Lunch with the girls is full on gossip and laughing mode. Until Jackson walks into the cafeteria with Regina hanging from his arm.The sight of the duo is a soft blow to my chest. I make an involuntary sound that the girls notice, and their laughter dies off. Jackson and Regina find a seat with their clique. I pretend not to notice but my gaze strays a few times to their table.“We should go to my parent’s beach house this weekend or next,” Amelia says. It’s to drag me out of my slump but now my eyes are fixed on them. I can’t stop staring. Is this why he didn’t pick my calls? I wanted to apologise for ending things the way I did. Someone steps on my toe, my glare wavers when I see it’s Amelia. She probably doesn’t understand why I’m bothered. I’m not bothered, I’m just disturbed. He didn’t

I wake up in the morning feeling less bold than I did when I sent those videos yesterday. Dinner was uneventful. Calum was well behaved. He didn’t send another text except to wish me goodnight.After final touches to my face, I grab my backpack and head to Calum’s room. I knock once. He opens up with a grin, shaggy hair falling into his eyes. I glance at the stairs first, then whisk his hair from his forehead. Without notice, he drags me into his room and locks the door. Strolling to the study table with his laptop, he bends over and starts typing on it. I pout at his hunched frame. No morning kiss?“Feeling better?” he throws over his shoulder.“Yeah. Much.” I’ll never underestimate the power of a good night’s rest. I bridge the short distance between us, one hand on his waist as I peek over his shoulder. He shuts his laptop before I see what he’s working on. “How about you? Had a good nigh

Calum doesn’t speak to me on the ride home. I can’t form a sentence so I sit still and quiet throughout the drive. He parks and his icy glare turns to me. I gulp. “In my room, Cathy. Now.”“No.”Darkness clouds his gaze and a blonde brow lifts. I haven’t seen this version of him. “I didn’t hear that,” he mutters in a tone cold as his expression. I shake my head and he smirks. “I thought as much.”Shaking off the nerves, I get out of the car and rush into the house. Dani waves from the couch, she’s glued to the soap opera showing on TV but manages to ask how school was. I swallow my words as soon as Calum steps into the living room. The room grows hotter and I fan myself. Where did all the air go? He stops behind me, his hand on my lower back and I nearly jump out of my skin.“How was your first lesson?” Dani asks him.Her attention is divided

I’m horny. I’m so bloody horny I can’t keep still for a second. My foot raps into the floor, Calum throws me a warning look and I stop only for a second before I resume. He needs to touch me.“Cathy,” Stepbrother dearest mutters. He looks up to the Saturday sun and sighs. “Keep still.”“I can’t.”Setting the guitar beside his seat, he drags my seat towards him. Our knees touch. “What’s the problem?”“You know what the problem is,” I grumble.His lips pucker. Annoying man. “Enlighten me.”Subconsciously, my legs part open. I’m wearing a skirt. I’ve been wearing more skirts since that ugly night he left me hanging. Staring into space, I try to form the words but they are stuck in my throat.Annoyed at him, myself, I run my fingers through my hair and my shoulders deflate. Joining him doesn&rsquo

Watching Calum talk about his songs is like listening to a kid go on about his favourite toy. He lights up in ways I’ve never seen before and my heart pumps way too fast, way too hard in bliss. He stops talking and my hands sink into the bed.The hand holding his music note drops to his side. Calum walks away from his desk to kneel before the bed. His blond curls are a shade darker, damp with sweat and excitement. My legs lower to each side of his body. I finger comb his hair and smile.“You need to stop looking at me like that,” he says. His clammy palms slide up my thighs and I tug on the roots of his hair. “Or I’ll take you to bed now.”Laughter bubbles out of my lips and my head falls back from the weight of it. He pushes my hand back into his hair. “Who says I don’t want that?”“Cathy.” On his feet, he crosses his arms and I’m drawn to his biceps, the tattoos. K

I love Calum but he is too stubborn. He spends more time beating himself up on a past that he can’t change instead of working to improve the future. Speaking of the handsome man, Calum pokes my side and I erupt in a fit of giggles. His hand returns to the steering wheel, he throws me a glance and my body thrums. He’s too hot.“What has got you thinking so hard?” he asks.“Nothing.” He rolls his eyes, he does that a lot around me. I end the chat with Tessa and slide my phone into my pocket. Yes, I apologised to her but we are planning something bigger and nicer for Calum. I like that Tessa didn’t ask any questions about our relationship status but I suspect she knows. I wish she asked so I might have gotten advice from a girl older than me. “Just thinking about how much I love you, Cal.” Calum blushes. He slows the car by a deserted street and I hop onto his laps. My fingers catch in his hair. He sighs. “I love you too, Cathy.” I pull his bottom lip between my teeth, release it and k

To Tempt My Stepbrother Epilogue
I should have taken Calum’s suggestion of a family dinner date. As I stare at the sauce in the pan, the colour changed by the black pepper I poured in, my brows wrinkle. This is not good. I touch the spatula to my palm to have a taste. It’s not horrible nor tasty but it’s edible. Turning off the cooker, I grab the plates for dinner from the cabinet.A kick from inside my belly has both hands lowering to cup my bump. I fold the hem of my shirt to reveal my protruding belly. This pregnancy is so much easier with Calum. I have someone to bother when the midnight cravings sweep in. Grabbing the plates and tray, I dish out dinner for Mace and I. Calum will be home past his son’s bedtime, thanks to Scott and the new album the band will be releasing next month.Through the open kitchen door, I try to spy on Mace. But the curly blondie is nowhere in sight. He must be playing with the guitar his dad gifted him on his last birthday. I’m not sure I want him to follow the same path as both of his

My ring is pretty. Too pretty. I stretch my hand in front of me and wiggle my fingers. Calum is all smiles beside me, and the rest of the table have similar grins. We changed tables when everyone arrived. Two bottles of wine sit open on the table. My glass is as full as it was when we shared a toast to my future with Calum. I can’t drink or eat with all the butterflies dancing in my belly.“Now we can call you Mrs Dissick,” Lucas says. The whole table laughs. They are all dressed so formally. No suits for them but matching button-up shirts and tailored slacks. Lucas even wore proper Oxford shoes.Rose smiles, and Taylor mirrors it. They are seated side by side. She glances at Calum, her red hair whooshing as she cocks her head.“You’re about to marry your stepbrother,” she whispers. Her voice is loud and carries round the table. The table falls quiet as nervousness creeps in. She brings her glass to her lips, offers a remorseful grin and gulps the entire content down. “Cheers.” Luca
To Tempt My Stepbrother 58 || Marry this man
CALUMI asked Pete’s permission to marry Cathy. I also asked Mum, and she was overly excited to give her blessings. Having both parents blessings builds my anxiety. I pace the entirety of our room, my sweaty palms closing and opening. Cathy is with her friends. Mace is with his grandparents.The phone on the bed rings. I jump. Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath and stalk to the bed to pick up the phone. It’s a missed call from Lucas. He didn’t even let it ring. I unlock the phone as a text from him enters. Luc: stop worrying. She will say yes.I roll my eyes at my screen, but a smile tugs the corners of my lips. Cathy has no choice. She’s my wife. Walking back to the front of the mirror, I smoothen my tux and adjust my stripped tie. My curls cling to my scalp, thanks to the excess gel I applied earlier. I massage my clean-shaven jaw, and the same hand slides to the back of my neck.The last time I had to dress formally was when I was Cathy’s music teacher. I spin as the door opens
To Tempt My Stepbrother 57 || You came
Dad’s here. Oh my God. Dad is here. Dad. Jason. Rose and Taylor. I’m vibrating with happiness, too stunned to move or react. Calum nudges me with his hip, and I snap out of it. I jump into Dad’s arms, trying to draw all four of them into a hug.Laughter rings out around me as we tear away from the group hug. Dad grins. I smile but it wanes when I notice more of his grey hairs. I pat the greying hairs at his temples and his hand covers mine. He has aged.“You came,” I say to him.“Calum arranged it,” he replies.I hug him again. Only him. My tears wet his shirt as he strokes my lower back. A tug on the hem of my top forces us to break apart.“Mama,” Mace says. Squatting to his height, I offer him a weak smile. He wipes my wet cheeks, and his lips purse. “Mama. No cry.” “No crying for Mama,” I whisper. I hear a chorus of awws and oos, but I don’t look around. Handing Mace to Calum, I take turns hugging my best friends. I hug Jason last, and I hug him the longest. He’s a huge reminder
To Tempt My Stepbrother 56 || Surprise
It’s the last day of the Manchester tour. We can spend a few days before leaving. There are mixed reactions to this. I’m excited to move to another city but reluctant to leave all the memories we created here. Calum doesn’t care as long as we are by his side.“What are you thinking?” Calum asks.His lips brush the space between my boobs. Hooded eyes stare at me, causing a flip in my belly. My lips part, but my reply dies on my tongue as his hairy jaw scratches my nipple. I shiver, and he offers me a wicked grin. On some days, like today, I find it impossible to believe this man was a virgin until me. I run my fingers through the mess of his hair. His fingers dip into my warmth, teasing a little to remind me how we spent our night. I’m quickly relearning his taste.Calum is always super hyped after every performance and if I don’t get away from him as fast as possible, we will fuck in whatever space avai

Voices from outside drag me out of dreamland. I blink fast, staring at the ceiling until my mind reels to a stop. Calum’s side of the bed is empty. Same with Mace’s crib. I roll over to the other end of the bed, smiling at Mace’s empty crib. A knot twists in my belly as the memory of our late night and early morning activities flood my mind. I’m alone in the room, but my cheeks still heat up due to shyness.If Calum is not here, he must have gone to get Mace. Father and son are most likely together, bonding. I grab my phone from the nightstand. There are missed calls from Dad. After a long call with Dad, Jason, Taylor and Rose, I head into the bathroom.The boys are performing today but I’m not. As exciting as yesterday was, I need a break. Mace and I will watch from the VIP section. I wear one of Calum’s big shirts over my skimpy nightwear. Calum can hardly keep his hands to himself and he proved that last night with the numbe

I did great. Not good, great. And everyone who spotted me after the boys performance has not failed to mention that. The feeling of being appreciated and wanted builds in my chest. I rock on my heels, and my butt juts out in a happy dance. I’m happy. But the happiness dwindles when my eyes locate the phone on the bed. Dad isn’t answering his calls. Mace grabs the edge of his crib, his face registering the excitement missing on mine. He still has the headphones Calum had him wearing throughout their performance. I squat in front of his crib. I should put him to sleep but the nerves coursing through my body make it impossible to act or think straight. It feels like I unleashed the beast inside me going on that stage, and I haven’t figured out a way to keep it quiet. If Calum were here, I would maul him, pass off some of that energy to him through sex or a kiss. “Grandpapa Mace isn’t picking,” I tell Mace. My knees meet the ground, and my arms bracket the sides of his crib. He yawns an

CALUMIt’s today. The boys are pumped, and so am I. Cathy and I won’t share the stage but she will perform before me, giving Mace and I a front row view of her performance. But it’s impossible to savour the excitement when she’s this nervous and threatening to bore a hole into the rug with her constant pacing. I stay as close to the door as possible. The more the gap between us, the lesser Cathy’s chances of getting mad. My last attempt at trying to calm her resulted in a shoe thrown at my face. This time I’m not alone. I’m with a reinforcement. The boys were nowhere to be found but Mace had no choice. His arms and feet dangle out of the carrier strapped to my chest. Mum wanted to take him while Cathy performed but I wanted both of us to watch from backstage. He has his noise cancellation headphones so he can’t hear a thing beside the playlists I created for him. “Cathy,” I mutter when she halts before the window. No reply. I clear my throat. “Baby.” Cathy turns on her heels and s

Calum has been acting weird since he left me backstage. I want to believe it’s the talk he had with Dani that’s affecting his mood but she’s smiling. Mace too. I join grandma and grandson when Dani waves me over. Calum grins but makes no other attempt to welcome me. There are only two seats in the room. Usually, he would pull me down to his lap but nothing of the sort happens.I squat in front of Dani. Mace pouts. “Hey.”“Hey,” Mace replies.I giggle. I’ll never tire of hearing him speak. My eyes raise in time to meet Dani’s, and she tries to smile. I’ve been pushing Calum to talk to her but I don’t know if I have the heart to do the same. I’m not upset. I’m over it but don’t have the courage to face her.“How do you like the set up?” Dani asks.“Good,” I reply.They wanted to show us around. The boys prac
