After my death my husband who threw me into the hunting grounds went insane novel

Chapter 26 So , this is the home of the great Alejandro Technologies , huh ? I still cant believe my best friend is the daughter of the owner .

Well , at least I wont get lost tomorrow when I come here , Nate stated , in clear admiration of Thomass massive house in front of him .

It was already afternoon when he accompanied me to my parents house .

As if your house isnt as big as this one .

Nate slipped his hands into his pocket .

But it was never like this .

Your stepfather is a well known businessman .

Im excited to see whats inside tomorrow .

Someday Ill be successful like them .

I grinned at his positivity .

Nate had always been a hard worker , a master game programmer , and never too selfish to share his knowledge .

Katherine was a hacker great with program manipulation .

Theyre the best tandem ever .

I was glad to be part of their group .

Only sometimes , I needed to give them space since they were a couple .

Then , you will be .

Youre good in this field .

Not as good as your stepbrother , he whispered in my ear , then we both laughed .

I always wanted to receive awards and recommendations from the school .

Too bad he didnt pursue his career , no ? I just nodded .

Unfortunately , I didnt want to talk about him .

Well , thank you for being here , Nate .

Ill see you tomorrow .

Youre welcome .

You can go inside .

See you .

We exchanged a brief hug , and before we released each other , Nate kissed me lightly on the forehead , like always .

Ill call Katherine tonight .

Ill tell her everything .

Do you think you can call her too ? Dont worry , Nate .

Shes only waiting for you to call .

He smiled .

Go on .

Get inside .

Okay .

I slowly walked towards the gate and waved at him as security opened the gate for me .

Nobody was at home when I arrived .

I went straight to the kitchen to get a glass of water .

Some of the housemaids were there , with kitchen work stuff .

Good evening , miss , one of them greeted .

She had rubber gloves on her hands but seemed to be done with her chore .

She looked younger than me , probably a teenager .

She had short hair , a small nose , and thick lips .

She was pretty , with freckles on her nose .

Good evening to you too , I greeted back with a smile .

In my life , I always thought that I should not treat them differently since I didnt come from a wealthy family myself .

I grew up in a home where I had to do everything on my own .

Can I get you anything , miss ? Oh no , its okay .

I just need water .

I opened the fridge and took a pitcher .

Whats your name ? I asked as I poured my glass .

My names Eva , Miss .

I grinned at her .

She sounded sweet .

You dont have to call me Miss .

Just Scar , short for Scarlet .

Her eyes lit up , and her smile widened .

Thank you , miss oh … Im … And I just told you .

I chuckled .

Okay , since I have no one else to talk to in this house , how about we talk a little ? How old are you ? How long have you been working here ? Im twenty , Miss Scarlet .

Ive been here for two years .

Youre so young ! Does she still go to school ? I asked myself mentally .

She could be in college at her age .

But obviously, she was working in the house full time .

12:54 She attentively took the pitcher from me and poured me a glass of water , Thanks , Eva .

Is it usually quiet in this house ? Yes miss .

This is the very first time that someone spoke to me except for the other workers .

Oh ? Why is that ? She just smiled at me .

I figured she didnt want to answer .

Thank you for this , Eva .

I put the glass in the sink .

I think we should talk often .

Youre welcome .

Oh , maybe I could ask you to bring me breakfast tomorrow .

I smiled at her then I leaned into her ear .

Breakfast for two .

Ill share it with you .

You dont have to tell anyone .

Her mouth slightly opened in surprise .

But , Miss- Dont worry about it Im headed to my room .

Thanks for talking with me .

Maybe Ill come down later for dinner .

Or not .

I wasnt ready to see Luke yet .

I went to my room and laid flat on the bed in exhaustion .

Before I went to sleep , my usual routine was to check the app if Jax had left me a message , but as expected , there was none .

His last message was yesterday , but it already felt like forever .

I was used to seeing his name on my screen .

I scrolled the contact list and chose Jaxs number .

I took a breath while I stared at his name .

I pressed the edit name option .

I changed the name to Luke .

I let out a soft sob .

Everything would just be a memory , and Luke would forever be my stepbrother .

I placed the phone on the side table , and then I let the tears rush on my cheeks .

I closed my eyes and fell asleep .

I woke up in a cold sweat after sleeping for five hours straight .

I must have had a bad dream , but I chose not to attempt to remember it .

It was already ten in the evening , according to my wall clock .

My eyes were swollen and dry from tears .

I must be crying in my dreams too .

It had affected me too much I could already hear my stomach growling .

I was starving .

Mom or Thomas must have knocked on my door earlier , but I was too deep asleep to hear them .

I forced myself to stand and walk downstairs .

There were more important things in my life than this .

Like a zombie , I went to the kitchen and dug for food in the fridge .

The cold air from the freezer instantly made me shiver .

I quickly grabbed the first thing I found then slammed the door .

A glass of milk and a leftover pizza .

I sat on a barstool at the island and picked up a slice .

I took a big bite .

Damn , I sighed in relief as I chewed .

Why is it that you always appear in front of me , mm ? What the- I jerked in horror , dropping the pizza on its box .

That voice .

The voice I had been hearing for three months over the phone .

In my head , he was still Jax .

Immediately , I stood and switched the lights on , then found Luke sitting at the other side of the island , holding a beer , with another bottle in front of him Luke Come , sit with me , he invited , his voice glacial .

He offered the seat next to him .

I didnt want to , but I didnt know how or why I strangely obeyed him .

Maybe there was a part of me hoping for a chance that we could still fix everything .

I quietly sat on the chair next to him .

However , I still couldnt look at him .

Sure , I have told you this before … he began .

The type Jax wanted was always precise .

Im sure you remember the description .

Listen to me … He leaned over to my ear .

He smelled of alcohol with a mixture of his natural masculine scent .

You didnt meet any of the descriptions , except I remember that you have the smart mouth that teased me for three fucking months .

Please , Luke , this is very inappropriate … 12:54 Chapter 26 Is it ? His mouth brushed my ear .

Is it when we both remember how I made you come over the phone , and I looked forward to doing it again when we meet , and here you are … Every hair on my body stood .

What do you want ? Finally , a good question .

I thought we were done playing this game .

Are we ? I said it because you confused me , he murmured , his voice raspier .

You turned out to be my stepsister .

How fucked up is that ? But not anymore .

What did he mean ? Had he suddenly hit his head ? Just get to the point .

I have a proposition .

What ? Lets face it .

We would never get along as a family .

We could pretend to be the perfect siblings in front of our parents , and you know that Im not the kind of man to pretend or lie , but with you , I am bound to break the rules .

I rolled my eyes .

Can you just tell me what you actually mean ? I snapped .

I say , we fuck , witch .

The air instantly abandoned my lungs .

The words came out light as if they were so simple .

The burning between my thighs was growing deep .

I was already squirming , and I felt my panties get slightly damp .

Just say yes , Scarlet … But the words didnt fully sink in .

I needed a complete explanation .

How are we I dont understand … I want to fuck you , is that clear enough ? I felt his hand trail over my inner thighs .

I shivered .

I shut my eyes .

You cant .

We cant , I concluded .

Its easy for you to say , but we cant … His hand moved deeper and deeper under my nightgown until he reached the hem of my panties .

We are both going back to Cambridge in a week .

We can get away from here … from them .

You only want a woman for one night , and I dont want to take the risk .

Two months .

What ? I finally looked at him , and our mouths were only an inch away .

I think that would be enough to relieve the sexual tension between us .

My jaw dropped .

Its right up until I graduate , then Ill be living here … Im aware .

Then well be going back to being siblings that they always wanted us to be .

Two months , yes ? Youre an asshole .

I couldnt think anymore .

Deep inside , I wanted to accept his proposition .

I wanted to taste him .

I wanted his lips on my body .

I wanted him inside me .

It would be so satisfying .

I just have to say yes , and hell be mine for two months .

He laughed .

I want to bend you over this table , witch .

Im going to taste all of you with my mouth my tongue .

Im going to make you come with my cock .

And when Im inside you , Ill fuck you so thoroughly you wont be able to think of fucking anyone else .

I swallowed , I didnt know that Luke could be possessive .

How could I say no to him ? Id wanted this man almost my whole adult life .

Jax or not , it wasnt important .

Luke wanted me as well the man who visited my dreams and made me wet each night .

But what he was asking was dangerous .

A lot could happen in two months .
