FAZER LOGINCHAPTER 2 Angel woke to the feeling of Juliana’s fingers tracing slow circles on her bare stomach.The master bedroom was still dim. Early light slipped through the curtains. Juliana lay beside her, propped on one elbow, watching her with calm, dark eyes. The sheet had slipped down to their waists. The scent of sex and Juliana’s perfume still clung to the bed.“You’re awake,” Juliana said quietly.Angel’s pulse jumped. The memory of the night before rushed back all at once. She was naked in her stepmother’s bed. Her father’s bed.“I should go back to my room,” Angel whispered.“No.” Juliana’s hand slid lower, resting just above the soft hair between Angel’s legs. “You’re staying right here until I say otherwise. Those are the rules. Remember?”Angel swallowed. “Yes, Mrs. Hale.”A small, satisfied smile touched Juliana’s mouth. She leaned down and kissed her—slow at first, then deeper.Her tongue slid against Angel’s as her hand finally moved between her thighs and found her already w
CHAPTER 1Angel had lived in the house for six months before she realized she was in trouble.The trouble had a name. Juliana. Her father’s new wife and she's forty five years old. The woman who moved through the large, quiet house like she owned every room and every breath inside it. Juliana with her dark hair always pulled back, her soft mouth, her calm voice that somehow still managed to sound like a command.Angel was twenty-three. Old enough to know better and leave. Instead she stayed, telling herself it was for the free room while she finished her last semester and the way her stomach tightened whenever Juliana walked past in a silk robe was nothing. It started on a Thursday evening. Her father was away on another long business trip. The house felt bigger without him. Angel came down to the kitchen in an old tank top and shorts for water and found Juliana at the island, pouring a glass of red wine. The robe she wore had slipped off one shoulder. The soft curve of her breast
Chapter 4The front door opened before either of us had time to put clothes on. Deborah’s keys hit the entryway table hard. Footsteps moved through the living room.Anna and I were still in bed, the sheets tangled around our bare legs, the thick pink dildo abandoned on the floor from earlier. My heart hammered so loudly I was sure it could be heard from the hallway.Deborah stopped in the bedroom doorway.She took in the scene in one long, silent look—the two of us naked, the toys, the marks on my neck, Anna’s hand still resting on my bare hip. Her face didn’t crumple. It went carefully blank, the same expression she used at the hospital when delivering bad news.“Get dressed,” she said. Her voice was quiet and terrifyingly calm. “Both of you. Then come to the living room.”She turned and walked away.Anna and I moved without speaking. My hands shook as I pulled on yesterday’s jeans and one of Anna’s shirts. The fabric still smelled like her. Guilt sat so heavy in my chest I could bar
CHAPTER 3 I woke up alone. Anna’s side of the bed was still warm. For a moment I lay there listening to the quiet apartment and my heart already beating too fast. The smell of her skin clung to the sheets. My body still carried the memory of the thick dildo and her mouth. The front door opened and closed. Soft footsteps. Anna appeared in the doorway wearing only one of Deborah’s old T-shirts, two coffees in her hands. She set one on the nightstand and climbed back into bed without a word. Her bare leg slid over mine.“Deborah texted,” she said. “She’s staying at the hospital an extra shift. Won’t be home until tomorrow morning.”Relief and dread hit at the same time. A whole night, no interruptions and near-misses in the kitchen. Just us and the lie we kept feeding.Anna’s hand slipped under the sheet and rested low on my stomach. “You’re thinking too loud.”“She’s going to find out.”“Not today.” Anna leaned down and kissed me, slow and deliberate. The kiss deepened fast. Her ton
CHAPTER 2I woke up to the sound of the shower running.Sunlight cut across Anna’s bedroom. For a second I forgot where I was. Then the ache between my legs reminded me. I was naked in my best friend’s twin sister’s bed. Deborah still had no idea.The bathroom door opened. Anna walked out with a towel wrapped low around her hips, hair wet, skin still damp. She didn’t look surprised to see me awake. She just smiled, slow and knowing, and dropped the towel.“Morning.”My eyes dragged over her body. Her full breasts, soft stomach and the neat patch of hair above her pussy. She was already looking at me the same way.“Deborah’s shift ends at two,” she said. “We have time.”She climbed onto the bed and straddled my hips. Her wet hair dripped onto my chest. She leaned down and kissed me, slow at first, then deeper. Her hands pinned my wrists above my head while she ground her bare pussy against mine.“You’re still wet from last night,” she murmured against my mouth.“So are you.”Anna reach
CHAPTER 1 I never believed in love at first sight until the night I met Anna.Deborah had been my best friend since college. We shared everything—apartments, secrets, bad dates, and too many bottles of wine.When she told me her twin sister was finally moving back to the city after three years abroad, I offered to help her settle in. I expected someone who looked like Deborah. Same brown eyes, same smile and easy laugh.I did not expect to walk into Deborah’s apartment and feel the air leave my lungs.Anna stood in the living room barefoot, wearing an oversized sweater that slipped off one shoulder and black shorts that showed long, smooth legs.Her hair was a little longer than Deborah’s, her mouth a little fuller and her gaze sharper. When she turned and looked at me, something low in my stomach pulled tight.“You must be Beatrice,” she said. Her voice was softer than Deborah’s. “Deb’s told me a lot about you.”I managed a smile and held out my hand. The second her fingers closed a
