_Amelie’s POV_

The door closed behind me with a soft click and I let out a breath J didn't know I was holding.

I didn't know what to say about that conversation but I tried to not think about it too much.

I didn’t dare linger in the hallway after that.

If Santiago wanted something from me, it wouldn’t be for long and that had to be the only reason he had called me into his officeso early in the morning.

I kept my pace steady as I walked back to my room, my footsteps echoing in the silence of the mansion.

Most people hadn't even awakened by now but this was me having a conversation with my father.

The note under my pillow, the one that had taunted me with its ominous “We’re not alone,” gnawed at the back of my mind.

I stopped in front of my door, my fingers ghosting over the door knob.

What if someone had been in my room? I wondered as I hesitated to step in.

Taking in a deep breath, I turned the knob as I pushed the door open, my eyes roaming through the room.

It seemed as if n

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Your place

    _Amelie’s POV_Luca didn’t say another word to me.He just turned and walked away.My heart fell as I watched his back go out of sight, the sound of my blood rushing filling my ears. I didn’t even realize I was holding my breath until I nearly choked on it.I should’ve run after him. I should’ve screamed, explained, done something. But I just stood there—frozen, humiliated.I didn’t even know what I was going to say if I tried to explain. He had watched it happen, he saw me kiss Nico. So what explanation do I have to give to him?Behind me, Nico exhaled. “He needed to see it.”My head whipped around. “Shut up.”I was so close to raising my hand to him, so fucking close. But I knew it was my fault as much as it was his. “Are you happy now?” I asked, shoving his chest. Nico raised a brow, that stupid calm on his face again, like this was all part of some game. Like I was just a piece on the board.He hadn’t moved an inch when I shoved him. “Isn't this what you wanted?” I shoved hi

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

    _Amelie’s POV_The kitchen was silent when I padded in barefoot. Letting out a soft yawn, I rubbed my hand against my eyes.I needed to drink water and go back to sleep, it was the only thing distracting me from what I called reality.I took another step forward and before I knew it I was tripping over my own foot.“Wha—“ I cried out, barely managing to break my fall.I was glad there was no one here to see my embarrassing fall.Or so I thought.I looked up and I froze.Nico was already here, sitting on the island and watching me. I couldn’t see his facial expression clearly enough, but I could swear I saw a smirk on his face.He had on a black T-shirt and sweatpants, elbows on the counter as he stared at me with a half empty glass of whiskey in his hand.He didn’t move, just watched me.It took me a while to catch myself.My first instinct was to turn around and leave, but I couldn’t. I didn’t owe hm anything. So I continued walking.“Don’t let me interrupt,” I muttered, brushing pas

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Ruin it

    _Amelie’s POV_I told myself it meant nothing.That I could forget the sound of the door creaking, the way Nico’s voice had affected me.That I could pretend.So I did.The next day, when a guard handed me a folded note in Luca’s handwriting, I didn’t flinch. I didn’t ask who saw what, or if the cameras caught Nico slipping into my room. I burned the robe I’d been wearing just to be safe and tucked the silver bracelet into the deepest drawer of my vanity.And I told myself, again, that it meant nothing.I was with Luca now, or about to be with him. Other things didn’t matter. I pushed myself off the bed, making my way to Luca’s office with my eyes on the floor.I stopped in my tracks when a pair of black shoes stopped in front of me and I raised my head up to meet a pair familiar eyes. Matteo. His state was colder than Luca’s and less obsessive than Nico’s. I had no idea why I could tell them apart, but I was. “Matteo…” I started, but he immediately looked away, brushing past me.

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Burning a chicken

    Amelie’s POV_I stared at the note, unsure of what my reaction to it would be. I was so used to people sending me threatening notes, that this was so much of a surprise to me. No threats. No commands. It had been folded and laid on my pillow while I was bathing. Six PM tonight. In the garden. Just you and I. I would like to try again. --LWas this a prank?It didn’t look like it, and besides, Luca didn’t seem like the type of pull stunts like this. But we hadn’t talked about our feelings after the I love yous were passed, and this came as a surprise to me. Better I go and find out what this was about. I was nervous, but a part of me was a little bit excited. And by the time the sun had gone down, I had tried on so many dresses, but couldn’t decide on what to wear. “I am telling you, if you put on a potato sack, Luca would still worship the ground you walked on,” Liana said, taking a bite from the apple she had in her hands. “I would have chosen an outfit by now if you had just

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

    _Nico’s POV_The knife in my hand trembled.Not from exhaustion.Not from training myself to the pain to breaking down..But from the sound coming through the thin walls of Luca’s bedroom.Her voice.Amelie’s voice.Moaning. Gasping. Breaking. Not from pain tooBut from pleasure.He was touching her and she was enjoying it. Enjoying another man’s hands on her. I squeezed the hilt tighter, my knuckles white. The training blade was stained with my sweat, and the cracked leather grip dug into the skin of my palm, grounding me to this moment-this—this unbearable, godless moment.She was his. Tonight, in that room, in that bed, under him.I had chosen her when she didn't choose me.And I was out here. Listening. Bleeding from the inside.Mine.The word sliced through me harder than any blade. But it felt like a lie now. A cruel one. The kind that wore her perfume and smiled with her lips.She said she hated us. She said she didn’t feel anything.But that wasn’t the sound of a woman who fe

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Losing Control

    _Amelie’s POV_I panted as I stared at him, unsure of what I wanted to say. Because part of me knew he might be right, and the other part wanted to tell him he was wrong.So I kissed him again. Because kissing was way better than seeing the look on his face.A lone tear slid down my face as I pressed my lips harder against his and then I pulled away. The kiss had ended. But the heat hadn’t.It clung to me—my skin, my lungs, my thoughts. Every inch of me was still shaking, not from fear, but from something darker. Need. That dangerous, bottomless need that made everything else blur out of focus.Luca’s breathing was rough. His arm was still around my waist. The tension in his grip said he was barely holding himself together. But he hadn’t moved. Not yet.And I wanted him to.I didn’t think. I couldn’t think at this point I moved again—climbing into his lap, straddling him. My thighs framed his hips. My hands slid up his chest and to his back, nails digging into his skin. His eyes sn
