Claire Adams – Stepbrother Whoa!

Mia and Jaxon’s hookup was not as much of a secret as they thought; while they’re both worried, there’s no longer any reason to keep their feelings a secret with everyone on campus not only in the know–but also approving of it. They spend their first week together as an official, open couple practicing together, making up for lost time, and enjoying the fact that they no longer have to hide or pretend.

They both cheer each other on at their second meet, and Mia can’t remember a time when she has been happier in her entire life; when they both finish first in their respective divisions, Mia and Jaxon find somewhere to celebrate privately–only to be discovered by their parents, who came to surprise them, not knowing that they would get a surprise of their own.

As Jaxon’s father berates her in the middle of a restaurant, Mia decides she has had enough of his cruelty and stands up for herself and for Jaxon, telling her step-father that he’s not only not good enough for her step-brother, but not good enough for her mother either. Convinced she has destroyed not only her chances at being with Jaxon, but also every vestige of a relationship with her mom, Mia flees. Is the end?
