“Fine,” she says in a bored tone while snapping her gum. She fumbles in her purse before handing me a sanitary pad. “Come right back, young lady. Principal Pontillo doesn’t like to be kept waiting.”
I nod hurriedly, but inside, my mind seethes. The principal’s already kept me waiting for over an hour! Seriously, the bad manners of these people are unbelievable.
But I steal away to the women’s bathroom. Fortunately, it’s empty and I let out a sigh of relief before locking myself in one of the stalls. Then, I do my business and maxi-pad firmly in place, I exit the stall before washing my hands. A glimpse of my image makes me grimace. My brown curls are matted and gross, daubed with paint here and there. There are dirt streaks on my face, and of course, my clothes are torn and streaked with a multitude of colors. I turn in the mirror and sigh with relief. At least my period stain isn’t apparent. Or rather, it is, but you can’t tell its origin.
Relieved, I tiptoe back to the principal’s office, only to be greeted by the gum-snapping secretary.
“He’s ready,” she announces with a jerk of her head. “In there.”
Taking a deep breath, I collect myself before pushing open the heavy wooden door.
“Hi, Principal Pontillo,” I greet with a sassy smile. “Sorry to keep you waiting—”
But that’s when the air whooshes out of my lungs because there’s a man in the office whom I expected, and who always makes me melt. It’s my stepfather, Lionel, and the alpha male looks angry. He’s more than angry, actually. He’s glowering at me, his handsome mien twisted in a mask of rage.
“I was called out of an important meeting to address your delinquency, Lily,” Lionel says in a clipped tone, his blue eyes icy. “Sit down, because you have some explaining to do.”

Lionel
Holy shit, the brat’s gorgeous. Immediately, I feel ashamed for even thinking that because just yesterday, I was fucking a random woman and giving it to her good in both holes. Melody (or was it Melanie?) panted, screamed, and wailed before coming so hard that her eyes rolled back in her head, showing the whites. To be honest, the sight turned me off because it made her look like a zombie. I know. Sex is strange sometimes, and I should roll with it. But maybe it was Melody’s bony limbs and sharp knees that made me grimace. Or maybe no woman has been able to capture my attention ever since Lily moved back in. I give a silent snort of disgust. I’m secretly obsessed with the brat living under my roof, and it fucking drives me crazy.
But what was I supposed to do when the teen girl showed up on my doorstep? Refer her to the nearest women’s shelter? Put her up in a hotel? Her mother, Roberta, would have been mortified because this is no way to treat a young woman in need. But what Roberta didn’t realize is that her daughter’s developed into a curvy, beautiful woman with a naughty streak that makes me clench my fists while biting my lip. My body stiffens whenever Lily’s in the room, and as a result, I’ve been avoiding her. It’s the right thing to do because any relationship between us would be taboo. I was married to Lily’s mother before she passed, for god’s sake! Yet, whenever I catch a glimpse of my gorgeous stepdaughter, I can’t help but experience a natural male reaction because Lily’s that tempting with her long brown hair, sassy smile, and curves that go on for days.
Those curves are on display right now, even if Lily’s a mess as she enters the principal’s office. But somehow her disheveled state makes her appear even more delicious. Her brown curls spring away from her head in a curly halo, and she’s got an adorable smudge of dirt on her cheek. But it’s her figure that does me in. Her dress is torn, slipping off one slim shoulder while revealing huge, Double D tits and a narrow waist. The skirt’s a splotch of random paint colors, but it, too, is torn and I get a glimpse of thick ivory thighs, long legs, and sleek, smooth calves. Goddamn. God definitely broke the mold after he made my stepdaughter because Lily’s fucking ravishing, and my groin is hardening from the mere sight of her curves.
But this woman is jailbait because not only is she off-limits, but she’s bad news too. I got a call from the school about the brat defacing school property, and at first, I couldn’t believe my ears. I was in the middle of an important meeting, and yet I had to excuse myself to jump in my sedan and speed to the school asap. Now, Lily’s going to explain herself ... even if I have to take her home and smack that bottom red as part of the process.
