Stepbrother, Mine
Opal Carew
When she was just sixteen, Dana found herself torn from her familiar life. Her mother had just remarried, and Dana was dragged to an elegant mansion where she spent most of her time alone while her mother traveled. No one seemed to care she was alive... until her older stepbrother moved in. Mason became her friend and protector. He brought light to her dark existence. But soon, to her dismay, she found that her heart raced and inappropriate feelings surged every time he was near. Then one day, as quickly as he'd come into her life, Mason disappeared again, leaving her more alone than she’d ever felt before.
Mason hated walking away from Dana all those years ago, but he had no choice. Leaving freed him from the devastating struggle against his own intense desire. Now the head of his own corporate empire, Mason has wealth, power, and no shortage of beautiful women ready to fulfill his every need. But despite having it all, Mason is bored. He’s never forgotten Dana, even though she’s the one woman in the world who is totally off-limits.
When he finds out she’s in desperate need of money and has decided to auction off her virginity, Mason is unwilling to let Dana slip away again…even if it means bidding on the one thing that’s always been completely forbidden.
Excerpt
“We’re here, miss.”
The driver stopped the car and got out, then opened her door and helped her from the car. They stood in front of a tall, elegant looking building. It didn’t look like a hotel. More like a luxury apartment building. The driver rolled her overnight bag to the front door and the doorman opened the door for her. The driver led her across the impressive lobby, with marble floors, tall pillars, and huge floral arrangements, to an elevator.
“This is a private elevator.” He slid a card into a slot and the door opened. “It will take you to the penthouse.” Then he handed her the card and walked away.
The door closed and her stomach fluttered as the elevator started moving upward.
When the door opened, she stepped into a huge apartment with windows overlooking the city. She stepped onto the gleaming, dark hardwood floor of the foyer as she stepped from the elevator and glanced around, expecting her benefactor to be waiting for her. But there was no one in sight.
She glanced around at the elegantly furnished penthouse, with light walls and leather couches and chairs. The wood furniture had clean lines and large pieces of abstract art hung on the walls. The whole look was balanced by the softness of the plush carpets and cushions.
She walked across the floor and stared out at the city below. The sun was setting and the windows of the other buildings were bathed in orange light.
“Like the view?” a male voice asked behind her.
A prickle started along the back of her neck, then down her spine.
It wasn’t the voice of a stranger.
It was him.
She turned slowly, her heart pounding in her chest.
“Mason?” Astounded, she stared at the man she hadn’t seen in eight years.
“Hello, Dana.”
The shock at seeing him had sent her totally off balance, but now she remembered the situation.
“Oh my God, you’re the one? But… you can’t…” she sputtered.
He raised his eyebrow in that way she remembered. “Can’t what? Be the one who takes your virginity?”
Her eyes widened. “That’s right. We just… I mean…”
She stared at him, the man who had left when she was eighteen. The man who’d made her feel special and cared for in a time when she had felt like nothing.
A man who haunted her hottest and most forbidden dreams.
She sucked in a breath of air and tried again. “You’re my stepbrother, for God’s sake.”
