Stepbrother Forever: A Stepbrother Romance Read Online Free PDF

occasion, which he’s done in the past, but it’s nice
that he can walk me home now. Sometimes just the two of us, and sometimes we
have a friend or two join. We are really enjoying our new home and being in the
heart of all the action. Our jobs are here, our friends, the studio, the
theaters—it’s all right here.

 
    My
stepfather has finally settled more with the idea of me and Ryan living
together. I can’t say he’s happy about it, but I think he realizes nothing is
going on. I made a couple of trips back to have dinner with my parents, and
they see how happy I am. I know they miss having me home, but I’m sure they
don’t mind having the house all to themselves.

 
    I’m working
tonight, and know it’s going to get very busy. It’s a Saturday, and we are
getting close to holiday season, which is our craziest time of year. Ryan is
rarely off on a weekend and mentions he may stop in with Tony, since he’s not
working. I’m glad he’s coming with a friend, because I don’t know if I will be
able to hang out while he is there. I quickly say goodbye while putting my coat
on over a skimpy bartending outfit.

 
    “Damn,
girl. You looking for extra tips tonight? You might need your own bodyguard,
looking like that,” Ryan comments as I walk out the door.

 
    “Fuck
off,” I say with a laugh.

 
    “Seriously,
Eve. You look hot,” he replies.

 
    “Whatever,”
I answer and leave before he can see me blushing.

 
    I smile
to myself as I stride down the stairs. I know I look good, but it’s nice to
hear it once in a while from a man who’s not trying to get in my pants.

 
    I exit
the building and pull my coat closed to protect myself from the cold. I quickly
walk the short distance to the bar and shake the cold off as I walk in. It’s
not crowded yet, but it’s still early. In an hour, we will be four or five
people deep at the bar. I put my things away and step behind the bar to settle
in for a long night.

 
    As
predicted, we get busy pretty fast. People seem to pile in all at once. I
notice a group of girls that must be at a bachelorette party. They’re always
easy to spot, because they’re usually dressed like whores and drink from
penis-shaped straws. The dead giveaway is the girl with the “Bride to Be”
tiara. I know it’s all in good fun, but they immediately annoy me.

 
    I’m
mixing and pouring nonstop for what I’m sure is over an hour before I notice
Ryan and Tony are here. They are patiently waiting for me to notice them and
get their drinks.

 
    “Hey,
guys,” I greet them hastily. “What’s up? What can I get for you?”

 
    “Just a
couple of beers,” Ryan replies.

 
    “And
maybe one of those chicks,” Tony adds, pointing to the group with the
bachelorette.

 
    “Yeah.
No problem. I’m sure there are a couple of them looking for a one-nighter to
mark the special occasion. Pretty sure you won't need my help there,” I sneer
as I get Ryan’s and Tony’s beers from the cooler.

 
    “Come
on, Eve. Don’t get all jelly,” Tony jokes. “You’re way hotter than any of
them—especially in that outfit,” he adds, looking me up and down.

 
    “Shut
up, Tony,” I answer in a friendly tone, handing them their drinks.

 
    “Cut me
some slack. It’s hard picking up chicks when you’re hanging out with this guy,”
he replies, nodding at Ryan and paying for the round of drinks.

 
    “Yeah,
he’s got you outclassed, doesn’t he,” I quip with a wink and go to help someone
else, but not before glancing back at Ryan.

 
    Ryan
does look gorgeous tonight. His top is fitted in such a way that it’s not
tight, but you can clearly see the definition of his body underneath. When he
turns to find a place to stand, I get a glimpse of his backside, which is also
very appealing. Even living together, we have managed to stay out of each
other’s way when it comes to bathing and dressing. I don’t want things to get
weird—not that they
