Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166

It was something deeper. Something tender.

His gaze traced every inch of me like he was seeing me for the first time.

My breath caught when he reached for my thong, hooking his fingers around the sides. He tugged it down agonizingly slow, and I felt the brush of his knuckles against my thighs as he removed it completely.

Then, my bra.

He unhooked it at my back and slid it away just as gently, his touch featherlight.

His hand came back to my face, tracing my cheek with the back of his fingers as he stared at me so intently that the sleep faded instantly.

“What do I do to keep you this happy, Kasmine?” He asked again, and a lump formed in my throat.

He’d asked me before, and I just laughed it off. But something about this moment and the way he said it now made my chest feel tight.

“Tell me, Mine. I loved how happy I saw you earlier today. I want to keep you that happy,” He explained, his eyes peering into the depths of my soul.

“Never take a life because of me again,” I said, and he paused, a flicker of amusement in his expression.

“You want me to promise you that?”

“Yes.

His fingers dragged absently over my bottom lip, slow and thoughtful. “You know I don’t make promises I can’t keep.”

“But that’s what I want, Kes. If you ever want me to stay this happy.” I replied.

There was a long

lance before he exhaled, the barest hint of a smirk tugging at his lips.

“Since that’s what you want…” he said and shrugged.

We had spent more than an hour in the bathroom. By the time he finally wrapped me in a towel and carried me back to bed, I was too exhausted to do anything but sigh as he dressed me, tucking me under the covers with more care than I ever thought he was capable of.
