My sexy-ass stepbrother is going to be the death of me.
When my mom decided to marry his hillbilly dad, I was pissed.
I mean, their woodsy cabin doesn’t even have Wi-Fi. Not kidding.
But then I actually met my new stepbrother, Sam. And fuck… He’s totally hot. And into me.
Which is totally gross. Even if his abs are to die for. And his smile is amazing. And he’s good with his hands. And who am I kidding? He’s an adonis.
It’s no surprise that, after our parents’ wedding, we slipped up and ended up making out on the living room floor. Now I’m screwed. I’m addicted to his sculpted body.
And that was before I learned his furry secret.
Who would have known the beast between his legs wasn’t the only surprise in store?

“Good morning, bella mia.”
He brought my earlobe into his mouth. It felt incredible, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction, so I kept my eyes shut.
“I know you’re awake, Freya,” He kissed my neck. “Not gonna open your eyes? Okay, let’s play…”

“What is this?” Eleanor whispered, her voice trembling as she gazed up at Xavier, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

“N-no…,” I begged, coming to my senses.

“No?” He chuckled. “Oh my dear, I don’t think you understand how this works yet…”
