Sweet Billionaire Stepbrother(61)

“I owe it to you to be honest with you. Right now, I’m not looking for a serious relationship. I’m about to start a new job . . . one that’s going to be challenging as f*ck.”

She let out a long breath and laughed. “That’s not a problem. If all you want right now is a f*ck buddy, I’m all up for that. But if you haven’t noticed yet, I have a voracious sexual appetite—”

I quickly placed my fingers on her lips. “Sloane, listen to me. You keep making assumptions . . . wrong ones. I’m trying to tell you that as much as I like you, there can’t be anything between us.” I cleared my throat. “I’m not looking for a f*ck buddy either.”

Her eyes grew wide and large. “You . . . you already have one? Who?” she blurted out.

I shook my head. “No, nothing like that. I just don’t have the time or place in my life for anything like that right now.”

Not wanting to tell Sloan about Layla and me until I’d spoken to our parents first, I was trying to play it as natural as possible. She wasn’t making it easy for me, I had to bite my tongue not to blurt it out.

“You must be kidding. A man like you? I bet you can’t go a day without sex.” She jumped to her feet and took a step closer to me, pushing her ample breasts against my chest. “Try me, Grayson. You won’t be disappointed.” Her eyes filled with lust. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed me, her hand moving to my groin and cupping my package. “I’m a great f*ck.”

I placed my hand over hers to remove it. She gripped me tighter, slipping her tongue into my mouth and making moaning sounds as she brushed her tits against me.

I’m only a man and I could feel my dick hardening. I hadn’t f*cked since London and my balls were full and eager for action.

“Sloane,” I said, loosening her grip on my balls and holding her by the wrists. “No.”

“But your dick likes it. Let me show you how good my mouth is, Grayson. Sit back and let me suck your cock, then tell me you don’t want it . . . don’t want me.”

Something caused me to look towards the pool area where the party was in full swing. Confused green eyes met mine. I inhaled sharply.

It’s not what it looks like, I wanted to scream but it was too late.

Layla had already turned and left.

Fuck.





29: Layla


It killed me to see Sloane with Grayson and his balls cupped in her hand, no less.

But what did I expect?

Sloane had Milton’s approval, she was the one he wanted for his son. Despite all of the animosity going on between the two men, Grayson had probably decided to go along with his father’s wishes.

Smart move. I had to give him props for that, even if I hated the idea and it shredded my f*cking heart.

Not that I could blame any man who fell for Sloane. She was breathtaking, smart and sexy. I never understood why she wanted to be friends with geeky me when she could have been best buddies with the cool kids in school.

From the many sexual encounters she’d told me about, Sloane knew just how to get a man to eat out of her hand and beg for more. Clearly she had Grayson just where she wanted him.

I was happy for them. Really.

At least that’s what I kept telling myself. I had to come to terms with it or I’d crumble.

“Hey babe, you look amazing tonight.” I looked up to see Seth standing a few feet from me. He looked handsome in a tight fitted pants and pale blue shirt of which he’d left the top three buttons undone so that his smooth, sexy chest was on display. He took a step closer to me, holding out both his arms as if he wanted a hug.

Still dazed by what I’d just seen, I needed a freaking hug more than anything, so I simply stepped into his embrace and let his big body enfold mine. He smelled so good, and the way he held me close was exactly what I needed in that moment. I buried my face in his chest, feeling his hand on the back of my head.

“Hey, you,” I mumbled into his rock hard chest.

“You okay?” His gruff voice was laced with equal parts of surprise and concern. Bet he never expected me to walk into that so easily.

I placed both arms around his waist and let him squeeze the bejesus out of me. “Yeah, I’m fine. Just needed a hug.” I slowly released the breath I’d been holding. “Thank you.”

“Anytime sweetheart, anytime. Just yell whenever I can help you with that, okay?” The hand on my back slipped down to my arse and pushed gently until my body was flush against his.

“Feel that? Just for you, babe.”

His erection pushed into my stomach. Oh God, that wasn’t my intention at all. Why were men such animals? I took a deep breath and pushed against his chest.

“Seth. It’s not like that.” With wild eyes I looked around for an escape, only to be met with four steel hard blue eyes staring at us; one pretty face with a slack jaw, the other had a face like thunder and was grinding teeth his together.

“Layla,” both said at the same time. My stepsiblings weren’t happy, that much was clear. Crap.

Seth turned his head and when he saw Grayson he took a step backward, letting me go. I had no idea what happened to the lump in his pants because I was too busy wondering where Taylor and Grayson had come from so suddenly. Wasn’t Grayson still in the garden with Sloane? And Taylor—her eyes were on fire as she glared at me.
