Chapter 99 - Wrong

Lena's breath was uneven as she finally, forcefully, tore herself away from the doorframe. Her heart was hammering in her chest, her face burning hotter than ever. Every fiber of her being screamed at her to move—to get out of there before someone noticed her presence.

She swallowed hard, her throat dry.

With stiff, mechanical movements, she turned away, stepping back from the men's bathhouse. The moment she rounded the corner, she pressed her back against the wooden wall, clenching her fists against her sides.

Her mind was a tangled mess.

What the hell was that?

What the hell was she doing?

Lucas had never been just an ordinary stepbrother to her. That much she had always known. But this… watching him like that, witnessing him in a way she had no right to—it was something else entirely.

And the worst part?

The part that made her stomach twist painfully?

She wasn't sure if she felt disgusted.
