CRAVING MY FORBIDDEN STEPBROTHER Chapter 41: Screwed
The pool bathroom is small and dark and the door clicks shut and the party disappears.He doesn’t reach for me immediately.That’s the first thing. In every version of this I have run in my head he reaches for me immediately, impatient, certain. Instead he stands in the dark and I can hear him breathing and neither of us moves and the not-moving is its own kind of overwhelming.“You heard all of it,” he says. “Everything I said to her.”“Yes.”A beat.“Good.” Rough. “I want you to have that. I want you to keep it.” His hand finds my jaw in the dark, tilting my face up. “Whatever happens after tonight. I want you to know that was real.”My chest does something I have no name for and don’t want one.His mouth finds mine and this time there is nothing held back in it, nothing performed, nothing managed. It is Cain Russo kissing me like he has been keeping this locked up and has finally stopped arguing with himself. I make a sound against him and his hands pull me closer and I go, I just
CRAVING MY FORBIDDEN STEPBROTHER Chapter 40: Scared
“Is Sienna right?” The yard is quiet enough that I hear him breathe. He looks at me and his face is still open the way it was when he didn’t know I was watching. No wall rebuilt, no performance assembled. Just him, standing in the cold with the mark of my hand still rising on his jaw, and I am looking at the person who said she is the only person I have never once been able to look at as less than to someone who was supposed to break him, not me, and meant every word. He didn’t say it to get something. He said it because it was true and he was done. “Which part,” he says. “Every part.” Something moves through his face, controlled fast, but I see it. I have been watching his face long enough to catch the things he buries quickly. “I don’t know,” he says. It’s the most honest answer he could give and it still takes the air out of me. “Cain—” “I know.” He closes the distance between us. Not fast, giving me time to step back if I want to. I don’t step back. “I know what I’m sup

My chest pulls tight at her words. "And you told that room I found it." Still that voice. Completely even. "That I sent it to you. That I said it might be useful someday." Sienna's jaw tightens. "Yes." "Why." "You know why." "Say it." "Cain—" "Say it out loud. Right now. To my face." Something cracks in her expression. Her composure peeling back, and what's underneath it comes through hot and raw and completely unmanaged. "Because I am tired." The words come out fast. Too fast, like they've been pressurized for months. "I am so tired of standing next to you and being invisible. Two years. Two years I have been with you and you have never once looked at me the way you look at her." Her voice is rising and she doesn't seem to care who hears it. "Sienna—" "No." She steps toward him. "You don't get to say my name like that. Like you're trying to calm me down. Like I'm being unreasonable." Her eyes are bright and furious and something beneath the fury is cracking wide open. "Sh
CRAVING MY FORBIDDEN STEPBROTHER Chapter 38: Deserve
The cold hits and I keep walking.Wet grass under my heels. The music still bleeding through the walls behind me like nothing happened, like fifty people didn't just watch my body on a phone screen, like I didn't stand there and feel every single one of them looking at her. At me. At the girl in the red lace who thought she was giving something to someone who would hold it carefully, who didn't know she was being filmed by a surveillance camera. I press my knuckles against my mouth.How could Cain do that to me? What a fool I am. I actually thought he was worth something, worth everything I've ever given and ever felt, and he's even worse than Jace.I am not going to cry in this yard."Layla."I walk faster, my vision blurring with every step."Layla—"His hand closes around my arm and I spin and my palm connects before I've decided anything. The crack of it cuts through everything the music, the cold, the wet grass and I feel it all the way up into my shoulder and I do not want it
CRAVING MY FORBIDDEN STEPBROTHER Chapter 37: Ready
Tyler asked three times before I said yes. The first time I said I was tired. The second time I said I had reading. The third time he sat on the edge of my desk and looked at me and said you’ve been somewhere else all week and I said okay because he wasn’t wrong and because I was tired of going to bed early and lying in the dark turning eleven words over and over like something I couldn’t put down. If I hated you I wouldn’t fuck you like that. I hated that just few words from Cain could affect me this much. I pull on the dress. Fix my hair. Go downstairs. The party is loud and warm and Tyler’s hand sits at my waist and I let him steer because it’s easier than thinking. He says something near my ear and I laugh at the right moment and take whatever is in the first cup someone hands me. The living room has been cleared. Coffee table pushed back, a loose circle on the floor, maybe twelve people. Tyler spots Mike and Mike waves and I let Tyler pull me down into the circle b
CRAVING MY FORBIDDEN STEPBROTHER Chapter 36: Hate
“Stop saying okay!” My voice rises. “Like I’m not standing here telling you that you almost ended someone’s athletic career over something that has nothing to do with you. Like that’s just fine. Like you get to just—” I stop. Press my hands flat on the table.“Why do you keep doing this. Why do you keep inserting yourself into my life like you have some claim over it that no one gave you.”“Can we work on the outline.”“No.” I push his laptop halfway across the table. “We can’t. Because I am sitting here and I don’t understand you and I am so tired of not understanding you.”He looks at me then. Really looks at me. His jaw is tight and his eyes are that particular kind of still that is worse than anger because at least anger makes sense."I don't know what you want me to say. I hit a douche, it has nothing to do with you."“I hate you,” I say. It comes out low and genuine and exhausted. “I actually hate you.”Something moves across his face.“No you don’t.”“Yes—”“No.” He closes his
