Stepbrother's Allure: At His Mercy

Prologue

APRIL

“You can't escape from me,” Kieran whispered to me, his voice low, and his eyes set on my lips. “You should have thought of this when you offered yourself to me, April. Why? Didn't it cross your mind? Even for once?”

I glared at him, taking a step back. I didn't like it. The proximity was messing with my mind. I couldn't let him get to me, to control my feelings. I knew I had to break away from it.

He smirked as he watched me, those grey orbs fixed on my face. He folded his arms and sat on my desk. “No amount of running can save you,” he said.

“Why?” I whispered, more to myself than to him. “Why do you want me? You can have any lady you want, Kieran. Why me? What do you like about me?”

“Everything.” He drew away from the table and approached me, smiling. “I love the hotness of your gaze, your feisty nature, and more importantly…” He reached over to touch my face, but I averted it... "How hot that night was."

“It was a mistake.”

He frowned. “What?”

“Sleeping with you. You know that, right? I didn't even know my mother would f*****g get married to your father! It was a one-time thing, and I don't —”

“To you, it is, but not to me.” He grinned, leaning down. “It wasn't a mistake, darling. That was fate. It brought us together and wove the web that held us strong. Never mistake, April. We are meant for each other. It's already written on stone and sealed by fate.”

“No, it's not.” I shook my head, taking a step back until I reached the door. I turned fast and turned the doorknob, but the door didn't budge. Figures. He must have locked it when he stepped in.

“There's no way to run, baby girl.” He wrapped his hands around my waist and brought me flush to his chest. “It took me a long time to find you, April, and I'm not letting go. Stop fighting this. You know your body wants it.” He placed a kiss on my neck.

My legs went weak, and I had to shake my head to snap my thoughts away from the direction they were creeping towards. Gulping, I closed my eyes.

“Let me help you, darling. You can use me as much as you want. Let me be your tool. I will do anything you want me to. As long as you let me stay by your side.”

He ran his fingers on my arms. I shivered at the feeling and gulped.

"What do you say, darling? Do you wish to talk business with me?" He blew on my neck, robbing me of the ability to speak. "Just say the word, buttercup, and everything will be yours."
