Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 531

Chapter 531: 531-His Naughty Wife
Helanie:

It had been a few days since we returned from that carnival. We hadn’t enjoyed it, and even though I had been angry with Rudy and never wanted to see his face again, I was still relieved that Rhiz was taken away.

“Ahhh!” I sighed as I landed on my feet again.

“Impressive,” Norman commented, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth.

Since he wasn’t the type to let me win or even allow a single punch through without defending with everything he had, I found it fun to tell others that I did beat Norman in training.

“Thank you,” I smiled, giving him a small bow. Kaye and Maximus had done their parts too.

We fought, and I was able to knock them out of the circle a few times, but they were still very soft on me. I noticed they would hesitate before throwing a punch at me.

As for Norman, he mostly defended himself.

With Emmet, though, things were even more different. He would only teach me strength and tips for different techniques. He refused to fight me at all.

“How does Chinese sound for dinner?” Maximus asked, rushing to my side while Norman walked ahead. Emmet would first take my classes and teach me techniques, but he usually didn’t stay for my fights with my three brothers.

“Perfect,” Kaye said, clearing his throat. He had been acting a little strange. In fact, now that I think about it, there were a few moments when he was a bit too rough with me today.

In the circle, he was growling and grunting a lot. But in the end, he came over to apologize for being too harsh.

I liked it.

It would help me fight better.

Once we got home, everyone went straight to their rooms while Norman and I sat outside to eat dinner.

After we were done, Norman grabbed the dishes to take them to the kitchen.

I would’ve loved to help him with the chores, but my body was aching a lot after training. Although it wasn’t as bad as before, it still left me feeling rough.

“So, you’re making the eldest one wash dishes for you?”

It was Charlotte. I rolled my eyes and crossed one leg over the other.

“Wait till you see him give me foot massages,” I said, watching her face turn red.

“Do you enjoy men’s attention?” she hissed, her fingers wrapped around the back of the chair.

Even the nice weather didn’t help her bad mood. That’s why I sat in the garden—to avoid seeing her or talking to her inside. But she was such a problem, she came outside just to annoy me.

“Umm, my husband’s attention? Of course! Who doesn’t like that? Ohhhh! But some of us can’t get any,” I pouted, watching her clench her jaw at my words.

I knew how much I could hurt her with just my words. That was the problem with her—she could say all she wanted, but the minute someone gave her the same energy back, she’d lose her mind and cry about it to Lord McQuoid and her mother.

“Besides, when did you switch sides?” I noticed her frown a little.

“I thought you’d be on my mother’s side, but hanging around with Darcy—tsk tsk tsk. Such an opportunist you are. And all that for a man? Who doesn’t even want you,” I puckered my lips, acting like I was feeling bad for her.

But in reality, I wanted a reaction out of her—and it seemed like I had gotten one.

She was trying hard to hold back her tears before she started rambling.

“When did you see me—hang around with Lady Darcy?”

That was her concern?

Oh, yes. She didn’t know that we knew she and Darcy had lied about her being mates with Maximus. So she must be scared and worried we’d seen her with him.

“Didn’t she introduce you to everyone that day as her son’s mate?” I tilted my head, watching relief flash across her face, but she quickly covered it with a grunt.

“What are you doing here, Charlotte?”

Norman had come out, and the second I saw him notice Charlotte standing with me, he quickened his pace to approach us.

“I was just catching up with my cousin. Heard she’ll be battling Alpha Darius. I’m worried for her,” she said in a much sweeter tone, making Norman stare at her with a bored look.

“You don’t need to worry about that. She’ll do fine. As for you standing here trying to annoy her—quit these habits. If she complains…”

He pulled one hand out of his pants pocket to point at her while the other stayed in—so intimidating.

“But I wasn’t annoying her,” she pouted—but it was genuine. Her concern for her image was always real.

“Oh, she’s not annoying. It’s just that she has a very annoying face,” I shrugged, getting up to wrap my arm around Norman’s.

The way I did it—she looked furious.

Instead of going to her fiancé and trying to win him over, she was getting mad that Norman was giving me attention.

And then there was Norman—he shuddered the moment I did that.

“I’ll go into my bedroom with my husband now. A woman has some needs, you know?” I mumbled in a seductive tone, turning to walk away with Norman after I left Charlotte outside—with tears in her eyes.

Norman didn’t say anything until we were inside the room.

That’s when I unwrapped my arm from around his and crawled into bed, taking off my purple sweater. I’d already showered and changed before dinner, so I was just ready for a good sleep.

But my dear innocent husband shocked me when he made me realize he had taken my words a little too seriously.

“About the needs part—”

He got my attention as he scratched the back of his neck and cleared his throat, “I don’t know how to… do it with you because—it… is…”

Somehow, I had a wild thought and just wanted to tease him.

“It’s okay. I can guide you if you’re a beginner,” I said.

The way his head snapped toward me was pure gold.

“I know how it’s done, okay? And my stamina can be unmatchable. I can do it with you without any breaks for two days straight. And trust me—”

That’s all he said before he suddenly stopped and realized something.

“You are a very… naughty girl, Helanie.”
