Page 65 of My Alpha Stepbrother's Dirty Secret 3

After the beautiful dinner we had‚ Ryan drove us straight to the cinema‚ his hand resting on my thigh the whole way as if letting go of me wasn't an option.

"Alright‚" he said as we stood in front of the board showing all the movies."Your choice.What do you want to watch?"

I scanned the titles‚ pretending to look serious."Hmm… let's see.action?Comedy?Or…" I paused dramatically‚ glancing at him with a mischievous grin."Horror."

Ryan raised a brow."Horror?You?"

"Yes‚ me‚" I shot back‚ crossing my arms."What‚ you think I'll get scared and cling to you?"

He smirked."Baby‚ I don't think.I know."

I rolled my eyes."Please.I'm stronger than you think."

We bought the tickets‚ got some popcorn‚ and made our way inside.The theatre was almost empty‚ maybe five people scattered around‚ which made it feel more private.We settled into our seats near the back.Ryan stretched his arm across the seat behind me‚ and I tried to act unfazed even though my stomach was already flipping from just being next to him.

The movie started‚ the music low and eerie‚ shadows flickering across the screen.I sat up straighter‚ forcing myself to look calm.Ryan glanced at me with that smug smile‚ whispering‚ "Still strong?"

"Shut up‚" I muttered‚ keeping my eyes glued to the screen.

But as the scenes grew darker‚ the tension in the theater thickening‚ I found myself inching closer to him.My hand brushed his arm‚ then his chest‚ until without realizing it‚ I was half leaning into him.He chuckled softly."Strong‚ huh?"

"Ryan‚ I'm watching‚" I hissed‚ though my eyes had already darted away from the screen when the creepy music swelled.

Then it happened‚ the monster suddenly jumped out of nowhere‚ the sound blasting through the speakers‚ and I screamed before I could stop myself.Without thinking‚ I leapt straight onto Ryan‚ my arms wrapping around his neck tightly.

The three other people in the theater didn't even look our way‚ too engrossed in the film‚ but I could hear Ryan's quiet laugh rumbling against my chest."What was that about being strong?"he teased‚ his hand rubbing my back as if I was a child who needed comforting.

"Shut up‚ Ryan‚" I mumbled into his neck‚ refusing to let go."That was cheap.They cheated."

He grinned‚ kissing the side of my head."Admit it.You're terrified."

"I'm not terrified.I'm just… cautious."

"Cautious?"He smirked."Baby‚ you're wrapped around me like the movie monster's after you personally."

I stuck my tongue out at him but didn't move away.If anything‚ I snuggled closer.My heart was racing‚ not just from the movie‚ but from how warm and safe I felt pressed against him.

And then‚ without even realizing when it started‚ my hips shifted against him.Just slightly at first‚ an unconscious move‚ but then I felt him stiffen under me.I froze‚ wide-eyed‚ then looked up at him.His jaw was tight‚ his eyes darker than the theater around us.

"Anna‚" he murmured‚ his voice low‚ warning but laced with need.

My face heated‚ but I didn't stop.I shifted again‚ a little more deliberately this time‚ grinding lightly against him while keeping my arms around his neck as if I was still just hiding from the movie.He exhaled sharply‚ his hand tightening on my waist.

"Baby…" His voice was strained‚ his breath hot against my ear."Don't start what you can't finish."

I bit my lip‚ pretending innocence‚ but my body betrayed me as I pressed closer.His bulge was growing against me‚ hard and undeniable‚ and a rush of heat shot through my body.

Ryan's POV

"Baby… don't tempt me‚" I rasped‚ my voice low and strained‚ my body already burning as she ground her hips down on me."We should finish the movie."

But anna just shook her head‚ her hands sliding up to hold my face still as she stole my lips in a desperate kiss.Her mouth moved against mine with so much need‚ so much hunger‚ I could barely breathe.She broke away for a second‚ her lips trailing down to my neck‚ kissing me there‚ her soft moans vibrating against my skin.My hands clenched the armrest because fuck‚ she was making it impossible to focus.

"anna…" I groaned‚ trying to remind her‚ "the movie… it's still going… we need to—"

"I don't care‚" she whispered hotly against my throat‚ kissing me again‚ her lips brushing lower."I just want you."
