CHAPTER 48

  Aziz watched as her body shuddered in his arm and sweat covered her, he pull her to his chest to stop her from struggling with him.

  He opened his mouth, ready to call her name when she screamed for help and shot out of his harm but his hold tightened over her tummy.

  When she settled enough to recognize where she is, Aziz put her down and moved out of the bed.

  ”Aziz," her sweet voice halt his movement and he turned to look at her. "Can you stay with me tonight?"

  She didn't have to ask, but given the circumstances, they were back to being what they are before all this started... Step-siblings.

  He crawled back to her and spooned her against his chest. His hand trailing down her back in a soothing motion as he tried to get her to sleep again.

  When will mom come back to the house?" Lexi scrunched up her brows at him before looking down again.
