Tasting Nora-Pleasing Her Stepbrother Mates

Tasting 23

23-A Stepbrother Or My Mate! Nora: “Ry-Ryker,” I hesitantly took a few steps back, debating whether to bolt towards the exit or engage in this conversation with him here. “Yeah! Ry Ry Ryker! Your stepbrother,” he clicked his tongue, his eyes bulging out and staring at me like a ho. I began to fidget with my fingers because his appearance was freaking me out. Being angry is one thing, but he looked like someone who was still chewing on the last person he killed. “So what happened to you doing what exactly I had asked you to do?” he stepped off the bed, striding in my direction. I pressed my back against the door and squeezed my body together. “Your dad was insisting-” I only managed to say that much before he reached me and slammed his hand on the door above me. I squeaked and hugged myself, closing my eyes from the pressure he applied by hitting the door. “I f**g warned you, and you didn’t take my warning seriously,” he had come so close that I could see his chest from the button he had left open. He had changed into his casual attire of a long black coat with a high collar and a white shirt that he left open for the most part. “I did. But then your dad-I mean, our dad,” I instantly corrected myself when he narrowed his eyes on my face. 23 A Stepbrother Or My Matel 1288 Mouchers “You’ve played enough. I think you don’t realize how far we brothers are willing to go to get what we want,” he clicked his lips, shaking his head and looking around like a crazy person. All the while, standing so close that I could inhale his minty fresh breath. “Now, I’m going to take you downstairs and tell Dad that you lied about not having a wolf. He’ll figure out that you acted all helpless so that you could fool him into saving you from the cruel world,” he sounded terrifying with the way he was nodding his head. His eyes began to look even creepier now. “Oh! -” as I attempted to open my mouth, he grasped my arm and began to pull me away.

‘No! Don’t do that,” I pleaded, but he had already opened the door and was in the process of dragging me out when I made one last attempt to get his attention, “Fine! Do that, and I will let him ask you how you know I have a wolf?” My question stopped him in his tracks, his grasp tightening around my arm. “You’ll have to explain to your father how you figured out that I was lying about my wolf,” I knew the kind of game I was playing was deadly. Threatening an alpha king could leave me in a ditch all alone, but if I didn’t stop him, I would fall into a huge mess. “Say what you’re trying to say?” He played the fool, warning me through his harsh gaze, reminding me that if I didn’t take my words back, he would make me pay. “The answer is-when you felt the mate bond with your stepsister,” as soon as those words left my lips, he set my arm -free and stepped back from me. 22.857 16-05 I followed the gulp that ran down his throat. He seemed afraid, so afraid that he stood frozen for the next twenty seconds. almost. “That’s not true. I didn’t feel-and I will-” he began to stutter. It must have been really disgusting for him to know he is mated to me. I felt the same. Just the idea of calling him my stepbrother and then feeling the mate bond with him didn’t sit well with me. “I’ll tell Dad, and he’ll find out for himself,” I made sure to call his father my dad so that he understands how people will look at him after knowing about us. “And if you still want to go tell Dad about my wolf, be my guest. I have a simple answer to your query,” I shrugged, gaining confidence after he seemed shattered at my threats, “my wolf is weak. And I am embarrassed of her.” I hated saying that, but I knew she would understand.

“Huh?” he frowned, “so you’re basically an omega.” “No! Not even that. My wolf could barely transition, and whenever she does, I grow weak and then throw up all the food that I consume for weeks. Hence, I have decided to keep her silent so that I don’t fall too sick because of her,” okay! It was. going too far. She was going to kick my butt when she woke up next time. “Oh Goddess!” After reality settled in on him, he turned away and started pacing around while rubbing his face in his hands. 23.4 Sepbrother or My Matel I bet he was devastated that he thought he got a secret of mine but ended up falling into a huge trap himself. I couldn’t understand if the Moon Goddess tried playing me or him. “So, the decision is yours,” I folded my arms over my chest and watched him turn to face me. He dropped his hands from his face and rested them on his waist. “Why do you even want to be a part of a family where none of your stepbrothers wants you as their sister?” he clenched hist jaw, watching me as I took a deep breath. “It is still better than not having anyone,” I bet he was disgusted with me. But I was left with no option but to pick a home for myself. That particular home. “What do you want from me now?” after taking another pause, he asked. “I never was going to ask for anything, but since you were the one who kept threatening me, I have to ensure my safety,” I gulped when he narrowed his eyes on my face. “Say it,” he gritted his teeth. “You keep me safe in that mansion. If your brothers try to play me, you come for my rescue or else-” I warned, noticing the frown growing on his forehead, “I will tell everyone that we are- -mates.” It wasn’t easy for me to look at him and ask him to be my stepbrother or my mate. He stayed silent for a while before nodding his head. 74.60% 16:05 Dry Mater
