BURNING FOR MY EX'S CEO COUSIN

Alani Lane"Please don't stop on my account," I spoke in a calmness that even I didn't know I could possess at such a time.Shane pulled his jeans up fast, the belt still dangling, and then attempted to walk towards me. "Alan—"I raised my hand in the air, a sharp glare stopping him in his tracks. "Don't come any closer," I warned under my breath."It's not what it looks like," Shane muttered, his words eliciting a bitter chuckle from my mouth."Of course," I nodded. "Every cheating motherfucker says that." His Adam's apple bobbed up and down.I didn't move, not even a stumbling step backward. "How long?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.Shane blinked, his mouth opening and closing. "Alani, please," he pleaded, running a hand over his face."How fucking long?" I dragged the words, pronouncing each syllable harder. "We've been engaged for a year. Was it before the proposal or after?"His eyes darted quickly to Caroline, then to the floor. "Two months," my stepmother blurted out, her gaze d

Alani Lane "You are playing a dangerous game, Miss Lane," Alexander Voss supplied, his eyes gleaming. "That's not the ans-wer." I dragged the words, then bit my bottom lip slowly. "Alani," he called, my name coming out as a warning as his gaze dropped to my lips. I snaked out my tongue and licked my parted lips, watching as something flickered in his darkening eyes, something that made me inhale heavily. "Mr Voss," I breathlessly responded, raising my heels. His grip around my waist tightened as I tilted my head, moving closer to his lips. I could feel his warm air on my cheek, the heat between us and the growing ache in my lower belly. I wondered how his lips would taste, whether he was a good kisser. So I placed my lips on his, a sound emanating from my throat at their softness. Then he abruptly pulled back but kept his arm around my waist. "This," he gestured between us with the hand that still held the bottle of water, then continued, "should not happen like this." My

Alani Lane"Thought you'd never show up. Anyway, this is no longer your shared house with Shane; you have been replaced," Caroline spat when she opened the door. I had been dropped off minutes earlier by Alexander's driver. I just needed my share of cash from the safe and then disappear. Losing my clutch bag in the club had taken my cards, documents and even my car keys. Without my phone, I couldn't call Mia, so I really needed to get the cash for a hotel room or a BnB. I had hoped that I would find the housekeeper, but Caroline stood at the doorway, sizing me up as if I were rubbish."If you can take your stepdaughter's fiance," I responded calmly, controlling the brewing storm inside. "Then you can definitely have the house too. I just need to pick up my essentials," I added, swallowing hard to suppress the profanities bubbling in my throat."Not to worry, I had that arranged already." She let out a laugh, then called the housekeeper. Seconds later, my two suitcases were wheeled rig

Alexander entered me in one hot thrust, sinking deep inside me, going all the way to the hilt. My eyes screwed shut at the sting, my walls being forced to stretch instantly to accommodate his wide girth. He didn't give me time to adjust; no, he pulled out, then slammed home once more, grazing a sweet spot inside me that had me screaming from the mixture of pain and pleasure. "B-ig," I gasped, breathing through my mouth as he thrust inside of me in powerful strokes. "Oh yeah?" He grunted, his hooded eyes drinking me in. My hands were itching to touch him, to hold on to him, but when he rotated his hips right, I clung on to the edge of the dresser. He pumped himself fast, each time stretching me more, increasing the pressure in my lower belly. "You're so wet, Miss Lane." It was the way he said my name in a rasp that had me bucking against him, chasing the high. "Tight," he huskily added, pulling me impossibly closer, leaving my ass dangling in the air, my back on the wooden dresser.

Alexander VossShane looked at Alani as if she had slapped him across the face, then let out a short ugly laugh. "You're joking.""No," Alani responded calmly, even though her curled fists spoke something different entirely. "I am not joking.""I knew it!" Shane raised his voice. "I knew you were cheating on me with him, all those nights you lied you were working late...how could you?"It was Alani's turn to laugh, a low, unrushed sound. "Kettle calling the pot black," she hissed. "You were not the only one bored in that relationship, Shane, with your boring vanilla sex," she deadpanned, her lips stretching into a smile when his nostrils flared.His face flushed a deep red. "You will pay for this," he spat. "Both of you." He pointed at her, then at me, and marched out of the office, throwing his hands in the air.The moment the door clicked in place with a loud bang, I turned to Alani. Her chest was rising and falling fast, and her whole figure was tense. Her eyes were still glued to
