SEDUCING MY STEPBROTHER novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Aziz watched as her body shuddered in his arm and sweat covered her, he pulled her to his chest to stop her from struggling with him.

He opened his mouth, ready to call her name when she screamed for help and shot out of his harm but his hold tightened over her tummy.

When she settled enough to recognize where she is, Aziz put her down and moved out of the bed.

”Aziz," her sweet voice halt his movement and he turned to look at her. "Can you stay with me tonight?"

She didn't have to ask, but given the circumstances, they were back to being what they are before all this started... Step-siblings.

He crawled back to her and spooned her against his chest. His hand trailed down her back in a soothing motion as he tried to get her to sleep again.

When will mom come back to the house?" Lexi scrunched up her brows at him before looking down again.

They should be here in the afternoon, I told them none of us is around," his hand stopped its action when she lifted herself off his chest.

She stared at him for so long, that pain creased her features and he could tell she wanted to say something or needed something from him but was too afraid to ask. It was funny how things changed so fast within 3 days.

How they turned from being loving and crazy about each other to being strangers again. He couldn't even kiss her lip in those three days his life had turned upside-down.

"Lexi," he called her attention back to his face. "Do you need something?"

She opened her mouth but shook her head again as if she was trying to clear off the thought from her head.

"It's nothing," she dismissed.

Aziz grabbed her wrist before she could get down from the bed and pulled her to himself. "I can't do this anymore, Lexi," he whispered. "Let's pretend nothing happened and you didn't confess your undying love for me. I can't lose you, babe... I really can't."

Lexi stared at him, tears welling in her eyes.

"I will go crazy if I lose you," he tilted her head up and kissed her lip. "Please babe."

Lexi shook her head again, she had promised herself she wouldn't cry and that is exactly what she is trying to do... She won't cry.

"I really want things to go back to the way they were before all this started, but I can't pretend I don't have any feelings for you nor can I pretend you didn't say it in your words, that you loved Lena once."

"Please, Lexi... Let's try to forget about that and move on with our life..."

"Our life? Whether you feel attracted to me because you lusted over my body or because you love me, all that stops the moment she barged into my office and our home to claim you as her man.

"I can try to pretend but I would be fooling myself, knowing I am in love with a man that would never reciprocate my feelings."
