"Let me take a look." The handsome professor, with his broad shoulders and powerful muscles, lifted me effortlessly and placed me on the desk. His strong hands gently lowered the strap of my uniform to examine the bruise from training. "Helanie! Why do you always end up hurt?" His voice grew husky, sending a shiver down my spine as I struggled to catch my breath. I had to remind myself that he’s my professor... and my stepbrother. I shouldn’t be seduced by his touch.

"Don't act like you didn't know," Norman scoffed, making me lift my head and look at him in disbelief.
"What? You think I don't know what you like?" The mockery in his tone, paired with the raised eyebrow, made me clench my jaw.
"Please, do tell me what I want," I said in a gentle tone, though I gritted my teeth to show him I wasn't pleased with his taunts.
"Like mother, like daughter. Your mother loves diamonds too. She would do anything—and I mean anything—to get her hands on something with diamonds in it. And look at you! With your sad face and always being weak and meek, you somehow managed to get one for yourself." He shrugged like he knew me inside out.
