Climb on My Stepfather (Ashley and Alex)

8: Georgina.

None of this college. None of this college?

Didn't | know something like this was coming? When Aleksei said he never intends to leave me, | should have

questioned him further. In the back of my mind, wasn't there always a belief that he couldn't simply move me

into the dorm and drive away? Furthermore, that it would be so...wrong to part from him, after everything we've

been through?

My mother's death, high school, my driver's test, college applications.

Thunderstorms, injuries, loneliness.

My Twilight phase.

Aleksei was there for it all. The only one who was there.

Especially now that | know what my body sensed all along wasn't a fluke...and we are oh-so-freaking

compatible...not being with Aleksei every day fillswith unimaginable sadness. Not only do | love this man,

but there's no denying he just woke up something inside me. Wild, consuming sensations that | don't think | can

live without. And there's a beat pounding in my heart, tellingAleksei is the only one in the universe who can

give them to me.

But. Oh, there are sserious buts.

| stopped trying to make Aleksei noticeas something but an honorary niece long ago. No matter what I did,

he didn't seem interested inbeyond my being his ward. A...job. So | threw myself into school work-focused on

it hard — and realized a degree is something | want badly. Sday | want to be the one unlocking the library

doors and deciding what's stocked on the shelves. Maybe for a lot of girls, college is a given. But not in my world.

If my father had it his way, | would be kept under lock and key until | need false teeth. | fought for this chance to

attend school, and I'm not going to compromise one dream for the sake of another.

Currently, one of those dreams is carryingdown a crowded sidewalk like a sack of potatoes, and fine, the

caveman routine might work fora lot of the time. But not today. Not when the future I've worked so hard for

is at stake.

"Aleksei!" | scream through my teeth. "We have to talk about this. Putdown. Right now."

“I do not think this wise,” he says, sounding completely calm.

"lI don't care." | bunch a fist and ram it awkwardly into his back. Of course, it ends up making my own wrist throb.

"Ouch, dammit."

Aleksei clucks his tongue. "I taught you to punch better than that."

"Excuse me, miss? Are you okay?"

My blood cools, then freezes, at the sound of a strange man's voice. Not because

| feel threatened. Oh no. An angry mob could be chasingand as long as

Aleksei was there, | wouldn't feel an ounce of fear. No, my jolt of alarm has everything to do with the newcomer's

safety. Not mine.

Beneath my draped body, Aleksei's shoulders turn to rippling iron, his step slowing to a stop. | struggle in his grip

to get myself upright, and Aleksei lets me, remaining still as a marble statue as | slide down the front of him. |

can count on one hand the number of times another man has dared to question Aleksei - and it has never

happened in relation to my well-being. When !

catch sight of the deadly intensity he's directing at the stranger, | know I have to intervene or he's going to

decorate the sidewalk with homeboy's guts.

"Hey." | frhis face with my hands and attempt te get his attention, but his neck

is stiff, his gray gaze never leaving the stranger. "Aleksei."

"Move..." he rasps, one of his eyes twitching. "Along."

A nervous laugh. "I was only checking to see if the girl was -"

Aleksei surges forward with malice written on his face.

| shoot onto my tiptoes and kiss him.

There's a long beat of tension. A standoff where my lips work over his stiff ones. Someone questioned my safety.

If that man knew how serious Aleksei takes my well-being, he would have kept on walking. | don't like it, either.

The insinuation that my Aleksei isn't taking good care of me. A classic tale of "Il can yell at my possessive

Russian bodyguard, but God help anyone else who does." And when the fight drains out of him and he groans,

the edge is taken off my earlier anger, even more so. One big hand slides into my hair, the other finding my hip

as he begins ravaging my mouth. Wait. No. | was only going to distract him from committing murder, but

now...what's happening?

Aleksei walksbackward until | feel the familiar shape of his car pressing into my back. There are low

murmurings all around us from passersby, but I'

m having a hard tmaking out their words over the chirping canaries circling my head.

College. He just toldI'm not going to college.

| puil away from his kiss and drag in a gulp of breath. "Me. School. I'm going."

"Still you believe this?"

Oh, hello, anger. There you are. "Did you ever plan to take me?"

He tilts his head, like I'm daft. "Nyet, Georgina. After five years of making sure no one breathes on you, do you

think | could leave you in the care of strangers?" His eyes glitter with malice. "Males. No supervision. Alcohol.

Those things mixed together will not set foot near my Georgina."

Fire floods my cheeks. "Then where are you taking me?"

"Get in the car and you will find out."

| try to push Aleksei off, but he only pinstighter between his body and the car. And...and...my train of

thought is busted because his erection is so thick where it lies across my belly. Focus, Georgina. You can't let

another man dictate your future.

Isn't that what it all comes down to? | haven't been in control of my own life.

Ever. Now I'm about to get my first taste of freedom stolen. By the only person who'd temptto give it up of

my own free will. If he cared about me, he wouldn't askto do that, though. Right?

Right.

"I'm not going with you. I'll find another way to make it to orientation."

"Angel." Panic slides across his expression. "You would not."

Taking a deep breath, I lift my chin. "I would."

For a few moments, | can't read him. Except to know he's deciding how to play me. Play the situation. And after

what just happened in the library, | should have known seduction would be his choice. But even if | had known, |

never could have prepared for the power of Seductive Aleksei. "Georgina.

Angel.” His lips press to my forehead, detour down my cheek and open above my mouth, just a hint away, his

warm breath coasting over me. "Did you not say you loved Aleksei?"

Nine thousand butterflies dance through my stomach. "I might have," | murmur, squeezing my legs together.

"That doesn't mean you can get away with whatever you want."

He handily ignores the second part, sweeping his thumbs along my hipbones.

"If you love me, then you must not say such things. Parting from you would turninto a madman." There's a

low rumble in his chest as he licks the tips of our tongues together. "Especially now that I've finally eaten your

pussy. | cannot be away from it."

My lungs evacuate in a massive rush. "I can't even handle you like this."

His forehead meets mine. "Like what?"

"All sexy or whatever," | pant. His mouth smiles against mine, and the butterfly wings in my belly beat faster. |

can't believe this. He's totally succeeded in melting my rage. This is what happens in a gof sheltered virgin

versus Russian hit man, isn't it? "I'm only getting into the car because | have no other ride," | whisper. Aleksei

shakes his head, shaking mine along with it. "You go where | go. Always. That's the real reason."

He appears to be debating whether or not to kissagain. But if | allow that, he'll reduceonce and for all

into a simmering pot of hormones. Already my panties are soaked in public and I'm making out with a man who

looks like he belongs in a Guy Ritchie movie. What happened to my common sense?

My hands are shakier than | care to admit as | extricate myself from Aleksei's hold, shooting him a defiant eye

roll over my shoulder as |

climb into the passenger seat of the car. Like always, he waits until I've buckled up to close the door and cross to

the driver's side. With his typical tight control, he starts the ignition and pulls onto the road, coasting through

yellow lights like he owns the world.

The turn signal is clicking to bring us onto the highway when he asks, "Are you warm enough?” A pause. "I'm

asking because you have both arms wrapped around yourself like a straitjacket."

He's totally right, but I don't give him the satisfaction of changing my position.

This is my mad pose, and now that we're not touching, I've managed to remember why I'm pissed as hell. "Did

you ever plan to bringto college?"

A curt headshake, but no further change in his demeanor.

"So you lied? To me? To my father?"

"Nyet, angel," he answers calmly. "I said | would bring you where you belonged."

| give a close — mouthed scream. "And where is that?"

"You will see. Please try and exercise spatience." Aleksei seamlessly joins

the traffic on the highway, one tattooed hand resting on the wheel. "Are we having

a fight, Georgina?"

"Yes, Uncle Aleksei," | push through stiff lips. "We are most definitely having a fight."

A muscle ticks in his cheek. "Fighting with you disagrees with me." "Good." | sputter for a few seconds. "Have

you already canceled my registration?"

"Nyet. It's on the agenda." He tilts his head at me. "I've been kept very busy resisting my need to touch you.

That alone is a full-tjob."
