Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174

But June stepped in my path.

“Kester,” she murmured, tilting her head slightly, her voice dripping with something that made my patience snap.

She was an inconvenience. A fucking obstacle standing between me and the only person.

that mattered.

My jaw clenched. My fingers curled around the fabric in my hands.

“What is it, June?” I bit out, my voice colder than ice.

She didn’t move.

Her head tilted slightly, lips curled into something that was meant to be inviting.

But I wasn’t fucking invited.

“I spoke to my father,” she started, her voice too soft and coaxing.

I didn’t react. I just stared at her, waiting for her to move the fuck out of my way.

“He’s eager to help you, Kes.” She called that name, and it sounded foreign. It only sounded better when Kasmine called it. “And he said we could discuss it over dinner when

we return.”

That made me pause.

My grip on the pajama fabric tightened slightly.

She must have noticed because her lips curved even more, and before I could react, her hand was on my chest.

Her fingers trailed downward, and my skin crawled.

That fucking touch. I wanted to rip it off me..

But I held still, barely keeping myself in check because I needed to hear the rest. I needed. to know exactly what her father had said and how he planned to help me.

And I fucking hated that I had to let her talk.

June took my silence as permission to press closer. The scent of her perfume hit me, floral and sweet, so unlike the intoxicating wild scent of Kasmine.

Her hand moved lower.
