Page 37 of My Shining Stepbrother

“Rose, just know I never want you to feel that heartbreak or pain again. If he couldn’t handle the stress of a family, then he is not a real man. I would go to the ends of the world and back to ensure your safety and happiness. I….” He pauses and shakes his head. What was he going to say? Now it’s going to dig into my head until I know.

The food smells fantastic, and Reese says it’s almost done. I grab our plates and silverware for him and get some drinks on the table. He looks over and has a big smile on his face. That man melts my heart with everything that he does.

A few moments go by before he pulls it out of the oven and sets it on top of the stove to cool down. It smells incredible and is making my mouth water even more. I didn’t even realize how hungry I was until now.

“That smells amazing, Reese.” I tell him while taking a deep breath to inhale the delicious scent.

“Let’s hope it tastes as good as it smells.” He carries the dish to the table and sets it down.

“I have a feeling it’s going to.” I wink at him, which causes us both to laugh.

He leans over and gives me a loving kiss. I never want to stop; I want his lips on mine forever.

He plates the dish for me, not letting me lift a finger. I take a bite of the food and moan in complete satisfaction as the taste spins around my mouth. This is the best lasagna I have ever tasted in my life. He smiles with a soft laugh at my reaction. The pride in his food poured everywhere around us.

We finish eating, and I try to clean up, but he won’t let me. Instead, I decided to go to our room and get a shower.

I turn on the water, get undressed, and step in, letting the water cascade down my body. Not even five minutes after stepping in, I feel a breeze and two strong, safe, familiar arms wrap around my waist and squeeze tight.

“Mmmm, hello.” I moan as I lay my head back on his shoulder.

“Hello again to you.” His low sultry voice tingled my ears and insides.

He leans down and kisses the side of my neck just below my ear. His hand moves to my throat to hold my head there, and I feel the heat grow between my legs. I squeeze my thighs together, hoping for some friction, but Reese stops my legs from squeezing together and replaces them with his hand. I moan out in pure pleasure and excitement from his touch.

“You are mine, Rose; please say you are mine, baby. I need to hear it.” His plea hit my brain's nerves, causing the fire to turn into a blazing inferno.

He slides his fingers inside me while his palm is cupping my clit. The pressure alone makes me scream, but I choose not to yet. I want to wait to say what he wants to hear until I’m screaming his name in pleasure, and my legs go weak.

“Baby fuck me. Make me scream, please.” the need for him in every way possible caused me to beg for him. I will always beg for him if it makes us both happy.

He wastes no time bending me forward, and my hands smack into the shower wall. He plunges inside me, not wasting a second, and I’m almost screaming. I’m so close.

“Oh yes, baby! Fuck me like that! Harder!!” I start to yell out, feeling my moment of pure Ecstasy coming closer to my grasp. His thrusts become harder and harder as he pounds into me.

“Yes, baby! I’m going to… Oh, fuck yes! I’m coming!” I start to scream out as that wave rips through me. “I’m yours, baby! I’m all yours, Reese!”

I hear his groans of pleasure from hearing it. He is falling off the edge behind me, and it’s pure bliss. I feel every bit of him inside of me. Then we both realized we didn’t use a condom.

“Oh shit! Baby, I’m so sorry. I’ll go to the store and get a pill. I got carried away.” He panics while still inside of me, but I don't move.

“Reese, calm down. It’s not just your fault. We are both at fault. It was one time so let’s hope nothing happens, but if it does, it’s ok. We haven’t talked about kids or anything, but it will be fine. We will handle it, but I can’t take the pill. My body has a bad reaction to something in it.” I say as he begins to pull out. I turn around in his arms, but his eyes don't meet mine.

“Baby, are you sure there is nothing I can do? I want kids someday, but I don’t want to force it on you like this.” I put my hands on the side of his face, but he keeps looking down, ashamed of his actions.

“Look at me, my handsome Hades.” His eyes meet mine, and I see how worried and upset he is. He thinks he lost control. “I’m not upset; I want kids one day, and if it happens now, so be it. At least it’s with the person I love with everything I have in me.”

Oh, Fuck, I said it! Shit, how do I go back in time and fix this now! He is just staring at me like I have six heads. I need to get out of here.

I quickly grab a towel to get dried off and go to the room. He follows behind me fast while still staring at me, but he still hasn’t said a word. I get fully dressed, and he still stands naked, staring at me.

“Did you mean it?” He finally speaks softly with shock.

“What about the kid stuff? Yes, Reese, I’m not upset or worr….” He cuts me off, shaking his head frantically.

“No, do you love me?” He looks into my soul from my eyes.

I sigh and take a step closer to him. It's now or never. “That’s not how I wanted you to find out but yes… I love you, Reese.”
