SEDUCING MY STEPBROTHER

‘Aziz was kissing her just like she always dreams’ that was the only thought that ran through Lexi’s mind at the moment.

She snaked her arm around him and pull him closer, wanting to get rid of the space between them, causing Aziz to chuckle against her mouth.

“Just admit it,” he whispered against her mouth and stepped back when she tried to kiss him again. “Just admit you are attracted to me, and I will make your dreams come true.”

“In your dreams,” she scoffed and tried to pull him closer again.

“I suppose you can also keep dreaming about me filling you up with my cock and driving you crazy with pleasure,” he turned around, intending to leave but she stopped him.

“Just kiss me please,” her voice sounded strange to her, she couldn’t believe she was shamelessly begging to be kissed.

“I so badly want to kiss you, Lexi, I want to imprint myself on you and let everyone know you are mine, but if I start, I won’t be able to stop,” he ran his hands through his head.

“I need you to accept this…” he gestures between them. “I need you to accept your attraction for me before I can get close to you, I don’t sleep with women who are confused about their feelings.”

Without giving her a chance to talk, he stepped away from the darkness and left her standing there seething.

“He wants me to accept my feeling?” she muttered through gritted teeth. “Fine. I’ll accept it, but he shouldn’t blame me for what’s about to happen.”

Lexi got back to the party and the first person she came across is Cora.

“Can I help you?” she asked.

“I won’t pretend to be friends with you so I’ll go straight to the point,” she leans closer to her. “Stay away from my man.”

“If my memory serves me right, I have been with two men since this party started,” she strokes her jaw. “So I am confused, which one of them is yours?”

Cora glared at her; she opened her mouth to say something but Lexi cut her short.

“I don’t need to know who it is,” she eyed her carefully, Lamar’s word running through her head.

“Since he is your man, then hold him tight so he doesn’t have to keep chasing other women again,” with that, she walked away from her presence.

Cora fisted her hand and glared at Lexi’s retreating.

“I will make you eat up your word soon,” she threatened before walking to her mother’s side.

Aziz pinned his gaze on Lexi all through the party, his eyes trailed her everywhere she moved. Any time he notices someone make an advance at her, he materializes and saves her before it could get out of hand.

“Will you stop doing that?” Lexi snapped folding her arm across her chest.

This will be the fifth time he would pull her away under the pretence of wanting to speak to her.

“Do what?” He looked around and picked-up Cora’s fiery gaze from the faces staring at them.

“Stop trying to act like a hero, it is a waste of effort because I can take care of myself.”

“I already told you, Lexi, I can’t stand you talking to any man that is not me, so you don’t expect me to sit back and let them touch you the way they like?”

“Stop acting as if I belong to you; you get to talk to any lady you want but God forbid that I speak to any man because you are jealous.”

“Lexi,” he growled lowly. “If you think I am scared of showing everyone here how much I was to tame that smart mouth of yours, then you are mistaken.

“I won’t hesitate to kiss you in front of everyone until the only thing you would ever want is enough air.”

She sealed her lip, and regard him slowly. His eyes pinned hers, dark promises swirling in the pit of those green irises.

“If you don’t want us to cause a scene at your party, then make sure no man touches you,” he left her standing there, speechless.

She jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

“Are you okay?” That voice.

She turned around to see Lamar looking down at her, genuine concern filled his eyes.

“I am fine,” she stepped away from him, and he dropped his hand from her shoulder.

“Did he ask you to stay away from every male in the room?” Lamar shook his head; he knew Aziz to be very possessive.

The slight widening of her eyes was enough to answer on its own.

“You don’t have to lie to me,” he assured her, he knew she would try to cover up the obvious fact.

Her shoulder slumped. “Yes… I don’t get why he is acting all protective when we aren’t even in a relationship.”

“If that is what you think, then it’s fine,” Lamar shrugged. “I bet Aziz already put you two in a relationship, he just doesn’t know how to show it.”

An idea struck her and she searched for Aziz with her eyes, she found him a few distances away from where she is standing, with Cora clinging to him.

“When will the guest return to their home?” She asked Lamar, her eyes twinkling as the idea keep running through her head.

“Two days after the wedding,” he frowned at her question. “Why did you ask?”

“I need a favour from you.”

“I am glad you want to stay close to us even though we had prepared your mansion,” Daphne smiled at Tania.

Tania reciprocated, taking a sip of her wine.

“I always like to stay close to my brothers since I was little, I guess the habit refused to leave now that I am married,” she put aside her glass and leaned back on her seat.

“That is good, it shows the love the three of you have for each other.”

Tania smiled; she couldn’t let Daphne knows she is here for her baby. Cora wanted to stay closer to Aziz, and the only way that could be possible is if they stayed in the mansion with her brother and his fiancée

“I’ll go see what the kids are doing,” Daphne got out of her seat and made her way to the kitchen.

“I’ll come with you,” Reina (Lamar’s mother) stood up from her seat as well.

The two women bonded so well during the party, and since then. They keep following each other around.

Lexi turn off the stove and turned to Cora.

“Can you pass me that tray over there?”

Silence.

“Cora I am-” she turned around and found her giggling over something on her phone.

She crept closer and felt enraged seeing her staring at Aziz’s picture from when he was still young.

Lexi moved away from her without alerting her, she took out chilled water from the fridge and walked back to the stove.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Aarrgghh,” Cora screamed, dropping her phone in the process.

“Oh my! I am so sorry,” Lexi picked up a napkin and tried to help her.

“What do you think you are doing?” Cora yelled; her eyes held so much hatred. “Stay away from me you disgusting pig.”

Lexi smiled as she watches her run out of the kitchen, just then her mother walked in with Reina on her heels.

“What happened?”

She shrugged and pulled out the trays.

“Here, let me help you,” Reina picked up the first tray and Daphne picked up the second tray, while Lexi picked up the last one.

The strode out of the kitchen and went to place all the food on the large dining table.

Cora came back with a change of clothes, she glared at Lexi, who did nothing to hide her hatred for her as well.

“Cora dear, go get Aziz from his room,” Tania called, winking at her.

She was out of her seat before her mother could finish her statement and was running toward the stairs.

“Don’t stress yourself, Cora,” came Balthas’s gruff voice. “Lexi will get him to come down for dinner.”

“No it’s fine, I can get him for tonight,” she cursed Balthas under her breath.

“Yes, let her go get him,” her mother supported.

“I insist,” Balthas said, his voice stern. “Lexi dear, go get your brother.”

“Yes father,” she got out of her seat and bounded up the stairs, bumping against Cora’s shoulder in the way.

Cora fisted her hand, the urge to yank her back and pull out all her air course through her.
