Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 759

Chapter 759: 759-The Missing Hours

Kaye:

"What is going on with you? Why are you so annoyed with me?" Kesha had been complaining ever since I got home. It had been such a tiring day, and instead of letting me relax, she started arguing with me the minute I stepped inside.

"Can you just give me a few minutes to be myself and be at peace?" I said, trying to walk past her. But she was so irritating, and she wouldn’t take a hint.

"After you tell me—why am I not allowed in your room?" she asked, repeating the same question she had already asked before.

Three days ago, on her first night in the mansion as my mate, I had told her clearly that she wasn’t allowed in my room. I think it surprised her, even though I’d explained that I wanted to take things slow and that we’d be staying in separate rooms. She agreed to the terms, but she never followed through on her side of the deal. And that’s what annoyed me so much about her.

"I told you already. I want to take it slow," I said, trying to get past her. I don’t know how, but she ended up sneaking into my room the first night. I don’t remember anything after that. I just remember waking up on the couch with my neck bent all the way back, and it was so painful. She was in the bed, and I know for a fact that we didn’t have sex. We never did. But we did make out, and she was the one who started it. I didn’t really take part. I just remember feeling completely numb afterward.

And then it happened again the other night. She looked way too comfortable in the bed, and when I asked her how she got inside, she said I let her in. But I knew I didn’t.

"How slow are we talking about? It’s been three days, Kaye," she said, placing her hands on her waist. "And we’ve been dating for almost two years now. How slow do you think we should take these things? Are we talking baby steps, or more like a turtle walk?" she grunted.

I dismissed her with a wave of my hand. The only reason I had even accepted her was because Emmet convinced me it was for the greater good. So I walked away.

Once I reached the top floor, outside my room, I saw a maid returning from Helanie’s room with a tray full of juice, glasses, and fruit.

"She’s not hungry?" I asked the maid.

"No, actually, I think it’s because this was sent by Lady Darcy," she replied. It was crazy how everyone already knew my mother and Helanie didn’t get along. Honestly, I blamed that on my mother. Helanie wasn’t the type to cause trouble. She was a calm and positive person. My mother, on the other hand, could argue with a wall—and win. I’ll give her that.

"Why is my mother sending her fruit?" I asked.

The maid just shrugged and walked away. That didn’t sit well with me.

"We need to keep our eyes open," Ye said. "Now more than ever, Helanie needs protection."
