Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother novel Chapter 248

My Stepbrother 248

KESTER.

I knocked again. Harder this time. The kind of knock that wasn’t asking permission it was a warning.

I swear to fuck, I was seconds away from tearing this damn door off its hinges. I didn’t care if it splintered. I didn’t care if Claire came home to a crime scene of wood and rage.

But Claire was so lucky that Kasmine opened it before I could make that mistake.

She barely got the words out. “What the hell are you-

I pushed through the doorway, slammed it shut behind me, and crashed my mouth against hers.

God, her taste.

Fuck. I missed her.

I was losing my mind. Couldn’t concentrate on anything else until I saw her. Fuck, I wouldn’t have survived another night away from her.

But she shoved hard at my chest, and I let her go. I had to. I wasn’t about to add stress to her… not with our baby growing inside her.

“You manipulative bastard!” she hissed, trembling with fury. She scrubbed her lips like I’d stained them. “How dare you step foot in

this house?”

Her voice… Her eyes.

Wait. Was she crying the entire time?

Fuck! I had given Claire some days off, just so she could spend some time with Mine and make sure she didn’t cry her eyes out. Where the fuck was she?

“Come on, baby… Stop this…” I took a step toward her, but she took five steps backward.

I didn’t push. No. Not when she was carrying my child. She needed all the care and understanding she could get at this point.

“Stay back!” she shouted. “God, you are so sick, Kester! don’t even know who you are anymore!”

She was shaking, but it wasn’t fear. It was disillusionment. Rage. Hurt.

“How many layers of carefully constructed masks do you have on, hmm? How many lies do you coat your love in?”

“Mine…” I exhaled, dragging a hand down my face, aching. “Look… just sit down. Let’s talk. Please. We could-”

I stopped.

Her eyes weren’t of anymore.

They were locked onto the television.

Wide and haunted.
