My Stepbrother's Lust
“Fuck…please…”
He risks a nibble, sending shockwaves to my core. My back arches off the wall with a sharp moan.
His hand slides between my legs, cupping my soaking panties.
“Look how wet you are,” he whispers, “...shaking, and I haven’t even fucked you yet.”
He strokes my clit gently first, then harder. My toes curl, hair spilling into my sweaty face.
He’s breaking me, ruining me with just his tongue and fingers. I can’t speak. I can’t think. I just tremble in his arms.
*********
The night I caught my fiancé cheating, something in me broke.
I cried.
I screamed.
I drove — into the rain, into nowhere, into him.
Cassian Cross.
A stranger with gray eyes, a sinful mouth, and hands that made me forget my name.
One night was all it took. One reckless mistake to burn away my heartbreak.
Until he showed up at my mom’s wedding…
As my new stepbrother.
Now, Cassian won’t stop.
He corners me in hallways, whispers filth at the altar, and looks at me like he still owns my body.
But there’s one thing he didn’t tell me—
He already belongs to someone else.
A fiancée bound to him by a contract… and a secret that could destroy us both.
He’s dangerous.
He’s forbidden.
He’s promised to another.
And God help me, I still can’t stop wanting him.

Chapter: Bookstore PromisesCASSIAN'S POVI always knew Nina Cross would ruin me.I just didn’t expect another man to be standing there when it finally happened.Make that two, because Lucas is walking straight towards me, halting only when he sees Nina.“Oh…Nina. You're here…” His voice trails off when his eyes fall to Nina's hand still hooked in Axel's.Nina's eyes dart to me and back to Lucas, pulse throbbing in her throat. “Detective, what an unpleasant surprise.” I step forward, jaw tight.He looks almost normal in his purple shirt and brown jacket—until I see the badge on his hip.He ignores me, eyes trained on Nina and the subtle shrink of her shoulders. She sucks in a sharp breath, rubbing Axel's arm gingerly. Come on, Nina…“We'll get out of your hair. Have a good day.” “Sure.” Lucas nods curtly, but my eyes follow the soft billow in her hair, and my lungs suck in air, searching for traces of her scent like an addict in need of a fix.There it is. Vanilla.“What do you want?” My attention flicks to

Chapter: Not Your GirlNINA'S POV Two days is not enough time for a heart to stop breaking and start pretending it never did, but the world keeps spinning like I didn’t leave the man I love standing in the middle of it.Loved. Let's keep that in the past, shall we?I had ignored his emails to come in for work, but today my heels click against the marble floor, and I breeze past the receptionist with a frozen smile. Heat settles against my skin, pricking under my blazer, but I keep a straight face because God forbid that I squirm in his presence. The letter in my purse weighs down on my shoulder, but I must do this. It's the only way…The walls of the elevator seem to grow thicker with each floor we pass, and my breath echoes back to me in a panicked cycle. Finally, the doors whoosh open on our office floor, and I step out, forcing my confidence to follow. His door is ajar, and I suck in a sharp breath at the faint whiff of his cologne mixed with brewing coffee. I crane my neck to peer into the sunlit

Chapter: Almost, AlmostNINA'S POV I rip the sheets off my bed like they’re the reason my chest won’t fucking open.Maybe they are. His scent is everywhere, lodging in my throat with each failed breath. I should have burned the stupid thing the moment he left me to be with her. My fingers grip the silk hems, and I let the sound of ripping fabric mirror the gashing in my heart. What was I thinking, going into that tiny, dark space with the one man I should be running from?I almost let him kiss me…fucking hell…My fingers work hard at the fabric, rending my once favourite sheets into shreds. The pieces slip through my fingers and pool at my feet, and I realise that the sharp throbbing in my finger nail is real. I've broken the damn thing.My feet stumble backwards into my vanity table, and every breath I suck in feels less like oxygen and more like death.These fucking ugly curtains…I fist my fingers in the green curtain, flinching as the rail breaks free, clattering to the ground in a dusty mess. Golde

Chapter: Say You Hate MeNINA'S POV Sloane is pregnant, Cassian is in cuffs, and somehow, I’m still the idiot standing here waiting for him to look at me.The air is cold, forcing a chatter from my teeth when his eyes finally rake up my body and linger on my face.“Hello, sister. You look like you've seen a ghost.” Lucas frowns, placing a hand on Cassian's shoulder and squeezing lightly.Cassian huffs and shrugs off his hand, eyes never leaving mine.“Lucas —oh my god…” my mom chokes, brushing past me, arms spread wide.Lucas hesitates, brows furrowed.“Mom?” His eyes light with recognition. “Mom!” I fold my hands and shrink away from the soppy reunion. At least they get to be happy while my world is falling apart. Cassian's eyes follow me as I back into a corner, shoulders sagged. “I don't suppose you can take these cuffs off, can you? I'm not that dangerous.” His voice cuts through the sugary moment, gaze shifting to Lucas and Grace.The air goes still. Lucas pulls away, face flushed from his little bre

Chapter: Cuffs and ConfessionsNINA'S POV “Well, now I know not to sit across from my enemy.” Axel groans when the credits start rolling.“What do you mean? It's a cute story.” “It is, it's just a bit unrealistic, don't you think?” He stands up and offers a hand.“It’s a love story. It's never realistic.” Like me and Cassian.I accept his hand, noting its warmth as I rise unsteadily to my feet.“You're right. Love shouldn't have any rules.” His stare lingers on my face, and I feel my cheeks blooming red. “What time is it? I should get going…” I glance at my watch, dreading that it's only midday.“And I should go…wherever the assholes go.” Axel falls in stride and we exit the dark room, and I force my smile to stay hidden.His arm brushes mine lightly, and he mutters an apology, but heat is already crawling up my spine. My day had started off bleak, but walking beside this handsome stranger just makes it all feel worth it…if murder is ever truly worth it.My footsteps slow as we approach the exit. “Are you oka

Chapter: A Lemon-Sized MistakeCASSIAN'S POV I’ve faced men with guns and walked away without flinching, but a grainy black-and-white screen has my hands trembling in my lap.The white walls blur together, and I wonder if this is what purgatory looks like—sterile, silent, and impossible to escape. My back is rigid in the uncomfortable chair, eyes glued to my hands, anything but actually looking at her.How did this happen? I know, it's a fucking dumb question, no thanks to biology, but I hoped…What was I thinking? Sloane reclines on the sheet covered hospital bed, legs stretched out at the edge. I should say something to her, to ask if the scowl on her face is because she couldn't keep her breakfast down, but I'll only be buying into her fantasy. She doesn't notice my silence. She hasn't noticed much over the past two days, just dwelling in her own cocoon.I can't be a father. I can't—“The doctor will be here any minute, so…fix your face?” Her voice grates my ears, and I lift my gaze and actually look at he

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN: Deadlier Than Desire CELESTE'S POV The cell is cold. Not just physically, but spiritually, too. I sit on the hard bench, arms crossed over my chest, trying to keep myself from unraveling.Outside, my lawyer is working on bail, but inside? Inside is survival.Julian sure pulled a fast one on me. And Alex is MIA, making me the fall guy. Classic.I have to find a way out of this. Julian can't keep me locked up here forever. I'm the mother of his son. He won't do that to me.The putrid smell of urine and sweaty armpits gags me. I shift uncomfortably, aware of the beady pair of eyes on my back. Movement. Footsteps. I steel myself as the huge woman lowers herself in front of me. My eyes meet hers.She smiles with all her brown teeth.“Hi honey. You don't look like you belong here.” Yeah, no shit.I say nothing, wishing she'll just go away.She stays. “What's your name, cupcake?”I don't respond. That pisses her off.“You think you're better than me, with your fancy clothes?” Of course I'm better than her

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY SIX: The Breaking Point Julian adjusts the cuff of his shirt, uneasy.He stands at the head of the conference table, Adele by his side in a crimson suit and pants. Julian's voice rings out, calm and commanding. "Our quarterly projections show a potential increase in stakeholder trust, provided we maintain our momentum in Southeast Asia. The Madrid deal is still being reviewed—"At the end of the table, Alex’s phone buzzes.At first, he ignores it. Then it buzzes again. And again. Julian nods and waves him off.Alex smiles and unlocks it. He frowns, glances at the screen, then goes still.His fingers begin to move swiftly. A second later, he looks up. His face is pale."Check Tiff’s blog," he says quietly. Loud enough for those around the table to hear.A ripple passes through the room.Phones light up. Screens open. Jaws drop.Julian's brow furrows. He glances at Alex, then slowly picks up his own phone.Silence settles like a fog.Then come the murmurs. Staggered gasps. A chair scrapes against the marble

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE: The Summons and the Snare.Celeste's house looks just as vain as she is. Beautiful , but haunting.Julian walks the pathway and rings the doorbell. Silence echoes through the walls.He rings again. Deja vu crawls up his spine. Celeste had rented this place right after their legal separation. The last time he rang this doorbell, she threatened to file a restraining order. He only wanted to talk to her…find out why she betrayed him.She didn't just break their marriage. She broke him. Left him empty and gasping for air.Nothing has changed around here but him. He's not here to beg.He rings the doorbell again. Hears the frantic click of heels on the marble floor. The front door swings open—Their eyes meet. She gasps. Doubles back. Julian doesn't move. She recovers quickly and blinks at him.“You could have called or something. But I suppose you like drama.” A pause. Silence hangs between them. “Wanna come in?” She mimics a sultry voice, stepping aside. He stares at her, gritting his teeth. She’s all dressed

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY THREE: The Hawthorne ScamCeleste sat rigid at the table.Sweat poured down her forehead. Alex towered over her. “...You had one job. Keep an eye on Julian. Be our ears. But you just had to screw it up. You and your sick need for attention.” He spat.Celeste tuned him out. She had bigger things to worry about.Julian was coming for blood. Leo's future hung in the balance. Soon, Alex and the others won't need her anymore. She was an appendage. A loose end. It's only a matter of time before they spill her secret.Celeste chewed her lip. Alex paced the room, gesticulating wildly. Her mind raced. She needed to do something. To prove her worth. She heard footsteps. The distinct slap of cane against marble.The double doors swung open. Cologne—sharp, commanding, pierced the air.The man stepped in. Salt and pepper hair, dark brooding eyes. He took deliberate steps towards them. His eyes fixed on Celeste.She held her breath. Shut her eyes. Swallowed a tight knot in her throat.Alex shoved his hands in his p

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY TWO: Dead Women Don't SpeakADELE'S POV“My nightmares are back”I sit cross-legged on the plush sofa. My therapist nods softly and scribbles on a pad. “And how long has this been going on?” Where do I start?After the thing with Julian, my life fell apart.
