A night with my ex-husband’s step brother Chapter 47
Lyra’s POV Of all the people I was expecting, I liked to think it was safe to say that I didn't see Cassian making the list of people I was supposed to avoid. We weren't exactly friends, but there was something quite off and odd about him. I wouldn't say he hated or disliked me. It was more or less that he was a little more guarded when it came to things relating to me, as opposed to Xavier. Where Xavier was an open book, Cassian was a locked diary stuffed into a safe and buried into the center of the earth for more protection. Time seemed to slow to a halt as I figured what my next plan of action was supposed to be. The thought of ignoring him and playing ignorant echoed in my mind, but I'd barely gotten the chance to decide, before his voice cut through my monologue. “Lyra,” Cassian’s eyes bore into me like he could read every thought I was trying to hide. He allowed a couple of seconds to pass, before he let out again, his voice low and steady. “You didn't answer me.”“Hmmm

A night with my ex-husband’s step brother Chapter 46
Lyra’s POV I didn’t sleep much. No, scratch that, I didn't sleep at all. Every time I closed my eyes, I heard Xavier’s voice telling me to “trust him,” and my own stubborn voice screaming back that I couldn’t, not without knowing the truth. The kiss had done nothing to soften my questions, only tangled them up with feelings I wasn’t ready to name.Why did he kiss me? Was it because he wanted to, or because he was trying to shut me up? I pressed my eyes shut, and my mind must have taken that as a sign to replay the kiss for the millionth time tonight. I hadn't seen that coming. If someone had whispered in my ear that Xavier was going to kiss me tonight, then best believe that I would have laughed so hard and probably peed in my pants. But turns out the kiss was the best thing that had happened tonight, and I would gladly do it over and over again. Without wasting so much as another time,I pushed the memory fully out of my mind. By the time the first thin strands of light bled in

Lyra’s POV I always prided myself on the fact that not a lot of things surprised me or left me speechless, and while that had been going on for the longest time, I never thought there would be a day when I would end my lifelong streak. In fact, I had no idea which was worse, the fact that I'd lost the said streak, or how I'd lost it. I lost it by a fucking kiss with Xavier. My mind swirled with a million and one thoughts. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get it out of my head, and it didn't even help that the said man's lips were still pressed against mine, like he could spend the rest of his life in this position, only if I let him. Time seemed to come to a halt, and for a moment, I was this close to thinking that my heart had stopped working. But apparently, all it needed to jerk start to life was Xavier pulling my bottom lip in between his teeth. A shiver ran down my spine, and it took everything not to let the moan at the base of my throat from slipping out. “Ly

Lyra’s POV For the next couple of seconds, I couldn't breathe, neither could I think. I had no idea how it had happened, or if it had in fact, but I guess somehow and somewhere, the part of my brain responsible for thinking or what not, had suddenly shut down. I tried, several times, but Id never felt this way before. The moment Xavier’s footsteps faded down the hall, the silence wrapped around me like a vice. It coiled around me like a venomous snake circling its prey, just waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Guilt and a hint of something else thudded in my chest, and I hated how it felt like a fucking freight train was ramming into me and pressing against my rib cages. After what seemed like forever, I told myself that it was fine. That letting him go, letting him have his space, was the right thing to do.I repeated it like a mantra, as if sheer will could smother the gnawing ache in my chest.But his voice wouldn’t leave me. Every word from earlier circled back, sharp

Chapter 43Lyra's POV I wanted to breathe, but for the life of me, I just couldn't figure out how to anymore. It was as if the part of me responsible for sending commands to other parts of my body had totally shut down, and it didn't look like something that would be turning back on anytime soon. Xavier on the other hand, didn't seem to care. If he did, he was doing a mighty fine job at hiding it, and deep down, I wasn't sure if I was impressed by it, or simply terrified. His grip on the wall, and next to my head was firm and unyielding. I also didn't miss the heat of his palm searing through my sleeve as my back pressed into the wall. In all my life, I wasn't sure I'd felt the urge to disappear as much as I felt it now. I wasn't sure I believed in witches or magic, but right now, I wouldn't mind possessing the power to teleport, or be invisible at least. That way, I would be able to stay clear of Xavier's radar till he was completely cool and calm. I could feel every inch o
