His stepbrother. His student. The one alpha Quentin wants, he can't have. Quentin Bernard has spent the last few years envying his friends—one by one, the professors in the Omega Circle have found their bondmates, settling down into happy little families. Sure, he has his job and a townhouse. But with his terrible track record in holding down a pregnancy, he's given up hope of having his own happy ending. Until his stepbrother moves in next door. Despite being younger than Quentin, Hunter is bigger, stronger, and very much an adult. It doesn't help that Hunter's gaze scorches Quentin on the inside. It doesn't help that he's only wearing tiny swim trunks whenever they meet. It especially doesn't help that Hunter has kissed him once, his eyes full of desire and promise. Years later, he's still looking at Quentin with that same gaze—in the classroom, over the dinner table with their parents. The worst thing? There's a hole in the wall between their bedrooms. And Quentin can hear every forbidden sound his stepbrother makes. Stepbrother Next Door is a 72k non-shifter age-gap MPreg romance with lots of praise, claiming, hilarious scenes, and a possessive alpha who has only had eyes for his omega his entire life. Sorry about the weird cucumber scene though! HEA, no cheating or cliffhangers
