Stepbrother's Debt(24)

“Did you or The Family kill my father?” she asked, looking up at him. “Is he even dead?”

“We don’t know if your father is dead. We believe so. Your father wasn’t the kind of guy who could stay lost for this long or evade one of our men. He wasn’t that bright.” It was how he got caught. “I believe your father made a bargain and turned his back on The Family after they failed to allow him to be more than a soldier. Our enemies fucked him over, killed him, and made sure we could never identify him. The coke was taken, and the money that was supposed to pay for it has been gone all these years.”

Her lip wobbled as the tears fell. “I don’t know what it is,” she said.

“Your father did give you this?”

She nodded. “Yes, he gave me the card. He woke me up one night and told me that if anything was to happen to him, I was to keep the card a secret. When I was old enough, I was to go, and hide.” She laughed.

The sound was like a kick to the gut. She looked so damned sad that it tore at his heart.

“I didn’t listen to him. I should have gone months ago when I first found out my father was really dead. I just thought he’d gone out. I had no idea he worked for The Family. How stupid am I?”

“Our soldiers are paid to make sure they keep our secret. Your father was no different.”

“And he was killed because you wouldn’t allow him to become more. It must have really crushed him to be nothing to you men.”

Donnie pocketed the card. “I knew your father. Richard was a good man, and he was always talking about his daughter. I’d never seen a picture of you though. I didn’t even know we were in the same school until Sharon turned up with you.” The moment she stepped out of the card, he’d been changed.

“Aren’t you going to give that card to your father? He’s going to want that money.”

“I’m not going to.”

She looked up at him, shocked. “What?”

“I need you to trust me.”

“Why should I trust you? You’ve done nothing but lie to me.”

He cupped her face, forcing her to look into his eyes. “No, I haven’t, and stop trying to make out that I have lied to you. I’ve simply not told you everything. I may have befriended you in the hope of finding out what you knew, but I didn’t lie to you, not once. I care about you, Paige, I always have. I’d have gladly gotten to know you without finding out about your father. You’re different.”

“Why are you marrying me? We’re supposed to be related.”

Donnie smiled. “You think I give a fuck about labels? We’re not related, and with the way you responded to my kiss a few weeks ago, you don’t see me as your brother either.” Glancing down the front of her body, he smirked. “You’re nipples are hard as rock. I’ve thought about your tits, Paige, wondering how they’d feel in my hands, or how they’d look bouncing in front of me.” He didn’t hold anything back, telling her exactly what he wanted.

She shook her head. “No, I don’t believe you.” Paige pulled out of his hands, moving away from him. “I can’t marry you. I don’t want to get married.”

He noticed she said that she didn’t want to get married, but she didn’t say that she didn’t want to get married to him. It made a hell of a difference to him. Donnie was no longer dealing with an underage girl. Grabbing her around the waist, he slammed her against the wall, trapping her there with his body.

“What are you doing? Let me go.” Grabbing her hands, he pressed them up above her head in a similar position he had her in a couple of weeks ago.

“No. I’m not going to let you go.” Holding her in place with one hand, with his other he stroked down her body, finally allowing himself the pleasure of touching her. He slid his hand down her arm, going around her neck, and staying there for several seconds. Her pulse raced against the tip of his fingers. Donnie didn’t move away, letting her know not to test him. His father was a monster, but so was he. She’d seen him coming home covered in blood. Paige hadn’t witnessed his cruelty, but if she pushed him, he’d have no choice.

Caressing down her body, he cupped her tit, stroking his thumb over her budded nipple. She gasped, freezing beneath his touch.

“I know you want me as much as I want you.” He pressed his cock against her stomach so she knew exactly how much he wanted her. “I’m going to really fuck you hard when we’re married, Paige. I’ll always be your fucking stepbrother, but you’ll be my wife.” She wasn’t wearing a bra, and he pushed his hand above her shirt, finally cupping her large tit in his hand.
