Forbidden Desires: Embraced By My Stepbrother

One look at the man sitting next to mom tells me everything I need to know.

He is Aaron's dad.

Mom is getting married to Aaron's dad.

I had a one night stand with Aaron Coleman seven years ago and in the heat of the moment, after I left the motel he'd fucked me in, I spent the following week writing a fictional story about us.

I'd entirely forgotten about that story until now. The story went ahead to become a New York bestseller the following year but nobody, besides Juliet, knows I'm the author.

Aaron Coleman is about to be my stepbrother. He's the protagonist of a romance book I'd written and dumped years ago.

And as I move slowly, towards the table to join the small party, I realize that the coming weeks is going to be worst than the past seven years of my life, combined.

SEVEN YEARS AGO

"It's almost like you're virgin," Aaron blurts out in disbelief as he slowly tries to move.

His remark makes me feel defensive so I don't know when I get heated and respond in a sharp voice. "What if I am?"

Aaron stiffens against me, his body hovering above mine.

"That's going to be a problem, cupcake," he says in an entirely different voice that tells me I'm in danger.
