Fawn’s POV

“Hate me,” I clarified, though the word felt strange in my mouth. No one had openly hated me before. Richard and Gemma, yes, but they had never said the words to me… Fawn.

A muscle ticked in his jaw. He looked away first, his eyes fixing on the window like the sky held answers he couldn’t find anywhere else.

“Honestly, yes. I hated you for what you did, and who you are… were,” he said finally. “The lies. The manipulation. The way you’d twist everything until I couldn’t tell up from d

    Fawn’s POVRight on time, my new nurse arrived. Margaret was in her fifties at a guess, built like she could bench press a small car without breaking a sweat, and—most importantly, looked like she would have zero interest in how square Blake’s jawline was.“Call me Maggie,” she said, setting down a proper medical bag and eyeing the penthouse like she was mentally counting all the trip hazards. “I’ve read your file. Impressive recovery, but don’t let it go to your head. You’ve still got a long way to go.”“Aren’t you a bundle of joy.” I grinned at her. “I think we’re going to get on really well.”She snorted, already wrapping a blood pressure cuff around my arm. “I’ve handled worse than you, dear. Twenty years in trauma care means I’ve seen it all.”I liked her immediately. After Lena, Margaret felt like a blast of fresh air. I’d only seen Lena briefly; she hadn’t said a thing to me. Just did a last-minute check before leaving the apartment.Maggie checked my vitals, asked pointed ques

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 32

    Blake’s POV“No, I’m just not sugar-coating it. Wear your rose-tinted glasses if you want to,” she said. “You don’t want to be the guy who dumps his wife after she wakes up. I get it. Optics. Public image. All that bullshit. It would make you look like a shit person. But don’t pretend this is about my wellbeing.” She stepped closer, voice sharpening. “Men like you master the art of pulling strings. Puppet masters. You forget I know you, Blake. Maybe better than your wife. You excel at convincing people that an outcome you orchestrated was actually their brilliant idea.”She wasn’t wrong.I didn’t say it.“I’m offering you options,” I said instead. “If you want a transfer, I’ll sign off on it and make sure you don’t lose benefits. Maybe a different department, different division. You can have any position that suits your skills. If you want to leave, I’ll pay you a generous bonus and write a recommendation letter. You’re good at what you do.”Her eyes chilled. “You want to move me,” sh

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 31

    Blake’s POVBy the time the car slid into my space under the Huntington building, I rehearsed in my head what I was going to say. I’d already lied to myself three times that this was going to be a simple, adult conversation.But I knew it wouldn’t be.The lift doors opened onto my floor and there she was at her desk, exactly where she always was.Melissa looked up as soon as she heard my step. Relief flashed across her face, then hurt, then she shoved it all away and put on the professional mask that I had insisted on at the office.“Good morning, Mr Huntington,” she said, in that careful, neutral tone that pretended nothing had gone on between us. “Welcome back.”“Morning,” I said. “My office.”I didn’t wait to see if she followed. I knew she would. She had been calling and messaging me since the news broke about Cassie.I walked in, dropped my briefcase on my desk, and shrugged out of my jacket. The door clicked shut behind us.She stayed by the door a second, like she wasn’t sure w

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 30

    Blake’s POV“You admitted you pushed it yesterday,” I said. “I’m not an idiot. You stayed in your room. Doesn’t take a genius to figure how.”She blew on her tea. “You say that like it’s a bad thing. I don’t plan on spending my second chance sitting down on my ass… I’m going to make the most of this opportunity. Because I reckon this is more of a one-shot opportunity rather than some feline nine-lives arrangement.”For the old Cassie, that would mean partying harder and being even more wild… but this new Cassie, God only knew. I was sure I’d find out soon enough.“It’s not a bad thing,” I said. “It’s just not the only thing that matters. You overdo it, you land back in hospital.”She watched me for a moment before saying, “Yes, Daddy. Do you want to spank me if I do the wrong thing?”A shot of heat went straight to my cock. I needed to get away from her. I liked sex a little kinky and adventurous, but I had never wanted to be called Daddy. Let’s not even touch the spanking part.She t

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 29

    Blake’s POVBy the time the sun came up, I’d maybe slept an hour.Every time I shut my eyes, I saw one of two things: Cassie’s face as she came out of the coma… or Cassie’s face last night under me, mouth open in pleasure, hands in my hair.Not helpful.I gave up around five, went for a run, then showered and shaved. I was now sitting at my kitchen island, coffee in one hand, tablet in the other, pretending I cared about profit projections more than the fact my dick had apparently forgotten why we hated my wife.Ana moved quietly around the kitchen, cooking my breakfast.My phone sat screen-down beside the tablet. I didn’t have to pick it up to know what was on it: three missed calls from Melissa. Two texts.Melissa: We need to talk. Are you okay?I hadn’t answered. Only sent her a text to tell her I would be at the office today.I couldn’t even work out where the hell to start with that conversation: Hey, remember how my wife was a vegetable? She’s not anymore and I nearly fucked her

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 28

    Blake’s POVI kept my voice even. “You’re worried about my wife being stressed.”“Yes,” she said quickly. “Exactly. Episodes like that can be triggered by emotional overload. It might be better if you kept some distance. For her sake, not yours.”“For her sake,” I repeated.“Yes.”I took a step closer. Not crowding. Just near enough that she had to tilt her head back to look at me properly. “Funny thing about that,” I said. “You didn’t seem particularly concerned when she was crying out ten minutes ago.”Lena’s mouth pressed together. “I—”“I heard her from my room,” I went on. “Through a closed door. You’re supposed to be right next door, on call, and you didn’t move until I was with her.”Color climbed into her cheeks. Not embarrassment. Annoyance at being called out.“That’s not fair,” she said.“My door is two down from hers, and your door was open,” I said. “I heard her before I reached the door. You didn’t. Or you did and decided it wasn’t your problem unless it involved me.”He
