Climb on My Stepfather (Ashley and Alex) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 3

A warm tingle slinks down my spine and moves around to my pelvis. For some reason, the thought of being so close to him fills my body with excitement.

“Ok,” is all I can manage to meekly respond.

“Good, I just have to stop at my house first to grab something. It’s nearby.”

I nod in agreement and instantly feel a warm wetness between my thighs.

The heartbreak I felt just minutes ago is being quickly replaced by something else.

Abby By the time we pull into Mr. Brandt’s driveway, I’ve finished telling him about Jason cheating on me. Although I figured he might be disappointed in his son's behavior, I didn’t expect him to get angry on my behalf.

“My son can be such a little asshole,” he tells me while turning the ignition off, the vein in his temple throbbing wildly. “I'm sorry, Abby. I wish I could say that I’m surprised to find out that he’s betrayed you. But the truth is, he’s always been a selfish prick.”

Arush of gratitude toward Luke flows through my frame. Hearing how pissed off he is with Jason fills my heart with warmth. It’s almost as if he cares deeply for me and doesn’t like the idea of anyone causing me harm.

Even if it’s his own son.

He invites me to come inside his house with him while he searches for whatever it is he came for, and I eagerly oblige. During the time Jason and I were together, I'd never been to his dad’s house. Or his mom’s for that matter. We only hung out at my apartment or his enormous townhouse; where he's probably at right now with his new skank.

Just as more images of the two of them are flooding my mind, my phone chimes with a message from Claire wondering where I went. I shoot her a quick response to let her know that I’m okay and heading home but want her and Amy to continue their night; intentionally leaving out the fact that I’m with Mr. Brandt.

As he opens the front door and guides me inside, I’m taken aback by how massive and modern his house appears. Although it looked big from the outside, that view didn’t do it any justice.
