Amelie’s POV

I ran my fingers through my hair, smoothing the strands that clung to my skin with the remnants of him. My dress, still rumpled from the violence that had just unfolded, slid easily back into place as I tugged the fabric down over my thighs.

I didn’t flinch. Not once.

The red lipstick smeared across my mouth wasn’t my concern, nor was the faint warmth still lingering between my legs from the moment I’d turned Vargas into a corpse.

I was a weapon, and weapons didn’t show weakness.

I took a long breath, watching my reflection in the polished wood of the study’s door. I didn’t see the girl who had entered this house — the one trembling with nerves, with plans, with the hope that things could end differently.

That girl was dead now.

She had died when Vargas fell, and something else, something darker, had risen in her place.

I left the study without a sound, the door clicking shut behind me. The air of the hallway felt thick, as if the walls themselves were suffocating me with

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   No longer hers

    _Luca’s POV_I could still taste blood.Not mine. Obviously not mine. But his.Marco’s.The bastard was bleeding by the time I got to him. Matteo had made sure of that—split his lip, broke a rib, maybe more—but I hadn’t cared. Not then.I couldn't have given two fuvks about what Matteo would do him. Not till I saw her.Amelie.Tied. Bruised. Half-conscious. And still fighting like hell.My vision had blurred the second I saw her crumpled in the back of that rusted-out van, wrists raw from the tape, eyes dull from dehydration, body slumped against the floor like she’d been thrown there.I saw red as I stared at her battered form, the only thought filling my mind was to bring absolute pain to whoever did this to her.But I knew who it was. Santiago’s work.Marco’s betrayal.And now—Now he knelt in the center of the courtyard, the same courtyard we trained in as boys, the same courtyard where we buried traitors.His hands were zip-tied behind his back. Blood ran from his nose. His mo

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Clock

    _Amelie’s POV_Time passed.I couldn’t tell how much. It could be minutes. Or hours. Even days. I remained on the floor, still tied, still breathing, and still trying to convince myself that I wasn’t about to fall apart.But I was. My sanity was held back by a tiny string that could snap at any second. The dark pressed in like a second skin. I hadn’t seen light since Marco closed the door. The bulb hadn’t flickered back on. No one had come. No food. No water. No sound but the occasional groan of old metal and the soft drip of something I couldn’t see.And at this point, some part me craved the sound. It was the only thing stopping me from being insane. That one that breaks the total silence. I started counting to pass the time. One to one hundred. Again. Again. Again. When I hit five hundred, I stopped. My mind kept looping, stuck in the same place like a needle scratching at the same part of a song.Marco. I couldn't get him out of my head.The look on his face. Not guilt. Not pl

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Hook

    _Amelie’s POV_ I saw darkness.Not the kind that comes with sleep. I was that lucky for that. No.It was kind that came with blood loss, confusion, and a splitting ache behind your skull.I blinked once. Then again. But the dark didn’t move.Something cold pressed against my cheek—cement maybe? Or tile. I couldn’t tell. My wrists throbbed. My throat was dry. My body was stiff with something sharp digging into my spine.I couldn't stop myself. Panic came next.Fast and wild.The floor was hard. Concrete maybe. The air smelled like rust and damp fabric. There was a faint hum overhead—fluorescent lights, maybe—but they weren’t on. No glow, no flicker. Just the heavy sound of something old and industrial trying to breathe.And me?I realized this a second too late.I was bound.The thing I remembered was….My eyes widened as the events of the last night came rushing to me. I found out that Marcos was the traitor. But I hadn't even noticed when he noticed me. I thought I was hidden.It

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Gone

    _Matteo’s POV_Something was off.I knew it the moment I walked into the control room once again and didn’t see her.Not that she was supposed to be here. Not that she needed to be.But after everything that went down—the surveillance footage, the tension in her eyes, the fact that she didn’t fight us when we froze her out—it didn’t sit right.She didn’t say a word when she left. She didn’t force Luca to let her stay. And that was exactly the problem.Amelie always said something. Even when she was quiet, her silence still had teeth. A smirk. A glance. A “fuck you” hidden in the arch of her brow. But earlier, when Luca dismissed her with a clipped “dismissed” like she was one of the soldiers?She didn’t flinch.She walked out like a ghost.And that’s when I knew something was going to happen.I had watched her as she stormed off, she didn’t for once look back as she made her way through the doors.Didn’t even bang it shut.It wasn’t right. It all made me uneasy.Amelie was never lik

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Darkness

    Amelie’s POVI tried going back to my room like they said. Tried to follow orders for once.Not doing any of my thing, just walk right into my room. I could imagine Luca’s look of disapproval if I changed my direction and went elsewhere. But the further I walked, it felt like someone was watching me, following behind me to monitor my every move. And something about that made my heart race. But each time I spun around, the hallway was always empty.“You are getting paranoid, Amelie,” I whispered to myself, speeding up my walking.But I couldn't stop my paranoia.I almost ran when my room came to sight, pushing open the door as I ran in. The door clicked shut behind me, and the silence pressed in like a second skin.I was safe in my room. Well I am supposed to be.But some part of me couldn’t help but look around, searching for an imaginary person that might or might not be in here. After I had made sure there was no one in my room, I fixable relaxed, letting out a deep breath.

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Messy gets people Killed

    _Amelie’s POV_The walk from the kitchen to the security wing felt like crossing a minefield barefoot.Something could blow up at any moment, and it was probably going to be me.Nico didn’t say another word to me. He just walked ahead, brisk and sharp, like he didn’t want to slow down for anyone, especially not me. Luca followed behind, silent. And Matteo? He wasn’t even there.My eyes darted between the two brothers, but I didn't even think of starting a conversation with any of them.They were either going to ignore me, or give me brief answers before brushing me off.We had something bigger to worry about.The door to the security room slid open with a groan. I stepped inside behind them, the cool blue glow of monitors casting shadows across their faces. A few guards looked up when we entered, but one sharp look from Nico sent them scattering like flies.“Play it,” Nico ordered the guy at the screen.Luca nodded toward the tech guy in the corner, who tapped a few keys before the la

    _Amelie’s POVAI let out a groan as I turned my face away from the sun's rays, hoping someone would notice my discomfort and shut the blinds.Pressing my face into my bed, I hadn’t realized when I had fallen asleep last night but the sheets smelled like them.Cedar. Leather. Smoke. A trace of something darker. Something mine.Letting the comfort of the bed draw me, I fell into a deep sleep once again.I woke up tangled in warmth—my cheek pressed to Luca’s chest, Nico curled behind me, Matteo sitting at the edge of the bed with a hand still wrapped loosely around my ankle like he didn’t trust himself to let go.But by the time I blinked again, they were gone.The room was quiet. Too quiet.How much time had passed since I opened my eyes last? I couldn’t tell. Only the faint sound of water running in the bathroom could be heard, then nothing. Not a note. Not a word.I was left alone.The tie was still around my wrist—just one, loose now, like a memory I wasn’t supposed to keep.They d

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Ruined

    Amelie’s POVIt felt like I was floating.Not because they stopped.But because they hadn’t. Not really.The silk around my wrists loosened—Matteo’s hands were careful, precise, and deliberate. But it wasn’t released. Not a break. It was a shift. A preparation. And I felt it in the air. The pause before the next storm.My breathing was ragged. My skin glowed with heat. My lips were swollen from too many kisses and not nearly enough answers.I blinked at them.“What now?” I whispered.What now? Cause I needed to know. What now? Cause I wasn’t sure what came after.Luca answered not with words, but by kissing the inside of my wrist.Slow.Reverent.Like I was made of something sacred.Then he pulled a second tie from his pocket—deep blue silk this time—and wrapped it around my wrist again. Tight. Beautiful.Another tie for the other wrist.They bound me to the headboard like they were anchoring something they weren’t ready to lose.I didn’t resist. I couldn't.Not when Nico came back w

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Just theirs

    _Amelie’s POV_At that moment, I forgot how to breathe.Matteo settled between my thighs like he’d never left that place, like it was his by right. My wrists strained gently against the silk, and every part of me throbbed with anticipation. My pussy clenched tightly, screaming out in protest as it begged to be touched.Besides me, Nico hovered, his fingers trailing my jaw with infuriating patience, and to my side, Luca stroked a path up my leg like he was mapping the edges of my sanity.They didn’t speak.They didn’t have to.Every movement was a command, every breath a dare.Nico brought his face closer to my neck, taking a deep breath before his lips met my skin. I sucked in a breath as he bit into my skin. “Nico.” I whimpered, bending my neck over as I gave him full access. I could feel him sucking and biting, each action following the other and driving me insane.He sent a trail of kisses down my neck, over my chest and finally warm lips wrapped around my nipple, sucking hard
