Page 6 of Malicious Intentions

“Lexi. Watch your language,” her mother scolds.

“I’m watching the curse words roll the fuck out as I endure this shitshow.”

“Alexis Renee!”Her mother’s fist pounds on the table. “That’s enough. Apologize immediately for what you just said in front of your new family. He’s your stepfather.” She points to me. “And Evan is your stepbrother.”

Her words infuriate Lexi even more. She shakes uncontrollably as she stares at her mother in complete disbelief. “My stepfather and stepbrother?” Her eyes are enormous, and she shakes her head like she’s in a nightmare she can’t wake from. “No. There’s no way in hell?—”

“It’s true, Lexi. The sooner you accept it, the better.” My father leans back, straightening his suit jacket as if the matter is closed. “We have other matters to discuss.”

Lexi crosses her arms over her chest, displaying her cleavage. An image of me shooting from my chair, yanking the top of her dress down, and titty fucking her causes me to overheat. I tug on my shirt, averting my eyes to calm down.

“Lexi, I have a special surprise for you.” My father smirks, then glances at me.

What the fuck is he up to?

He turns his attention back to Lexi. “I was going to do this after dinner, but it can’t wait.” My dad puts his elbows on thetable, which he abhors, his eyes trained on Lexi. “I know this is a lot for you to take in. Your mom told me your father has never been in your life. I hope you will view me as the father figure you never had.”

I nearly snort my disgust aloud but somehow manage to control it.Father figure? Give me a fucking break. If he acted like a damn father for once in his life, that would be cause for a national holiday.

My dad glanced at Cynthia before reaching into his jacket pocket and retrieving an envelope. He sets it on the table and slides it to Lexi. “I pulled some strings so they’d offer you late admission. The semester begins in two weeks….”

He pauses for dramatic effect, his gaze latched on her like he’s bestowing the greatest gift in modern history: “To welcome you as my stepdaughter, I present to you an all-expenses-paid semester at Stone Ridge University.”

What the fuck? He can’t be fucking serious.My hands clench into fists on the table as my eyes narrow, seeing red as I stare at my traitorous father.

My narrowed gaze moves to Lexi, studying her expression. She stares at the envelope like it will bite her. She’s motionless except for the rise and fall of her chest from her accelerated breathing.

My father chuckles. “Go ahead. Open it, Lexi.”

Her trembling fingers grip the envelope, and it takes her two tries to pull out the familiar stationery with the Stone Ridge University name and logo.

Son of a bitch. He really got her admission to SRU.

“O-Oh m-my.” Her hand lifts, swiping at the tears beneath her eyes before her gaze flits to my father. “Thank you so much. This is a d-dream.” She hiccups, then blushes.

It’s a cute act, but I’m not buying it.

I narrow my eyes at Cynthia, who beams at her daughter.I’ll bet she coached Lexi to act surprised and grateful.

“I’m afraid this offer comes with strings.” My father continues. “I require you to achieve and maintain a 3.0 GPA, or I will no longer fund your education and expenses. Is that understood?”

I eye Lexi with suspicion as I motion for the staff to bring me another glass of champagne. Catching my father’s hard stare, I roll my eyes, reaching for the water glass while I wait.

I down the glass of water, leaning back in my chair, my thoughts spinning wildly. I drum my fingers on the table, earning an annoyed scowl from my father.

Like I give a fuck. He’s handing his gold-digger wife and her pretty little spawn too damn much. They aren’t going to stop until they’ve devoured his fortune.

The servant sets a glass of champagne in front of me. I nod my thanks, an idea forming inside my head.

I lean forward, my face the picture of innocence, and lock eyes with Cynthia. “I know this is a huge adjustment for Lexi, and I’m happy to assist.” My eyes cut to my father. “Move Lexi into my apartment. I have plenty of room, and it’ll give us time to bond and get to know one another better.”

From the corner of my eye, I see Lexi staring at me wide-eyed, her mouth hanging open in horror. My dick thickens and hardens, desperately wanting to shove it between her glossy red lips.

“That’s a fantastic idea.” Cynthia beams at me.

“Yes, that does seem ideal. You can help her adjust to college life and keep an eye on her.” My father gives me a look that conveys he doesn’t want Lexi embarrassing him, and I better keep a leash on her.

Oh, I’ll keep an eye on her, father.You have no fucking idea how closely I’ll watch her.
