The Situation (Brewer Family #5)

by Adriana Locke

My features display shock, in that my ex-stepdaughter is my … whatever Tate is to me at this point’s best friend. Tate’s features also display shock in a much more entertaining way. This is not going to be good. “You’re the hot stepmommy,” he says, his eyes twinkling. “What are you talking about?” He climbs out of bed, laughing hysterically. “Why didn’t I put this together before now? It all makes sense.” He faces me as if he just solved world hunger. “The Legends! That’s why that was so familiar to me.” “How did you know that?” “Carys might’ve stalked you—don’t judge her, though. Never tell her that I told you that.” She stalked me? “Okay …” “It was harmless,” he says. “Don’t panic. Anyway, I saw a picture of you looking hot as fuck in your cheer uniform. And I’ve always teased Carys that I wanted to bang her hot stepmommy. Now I’m banging her hot stepmommy.” “Never call me that again.” He cackles. “New kink unlocked.” “Stop it!” “Wanna role-play?” He wiggles his brows. “You can⁠—” “Tate! Stop,” I say, trying not to laugh at his ridiculousness. “You didn’t even hear me out.” I sigh. “You can call me Daddy if you want.”
