LOGINI sat there, stunned, the phone still pressed to my ear. Less than an hour. She’d been there less than an hour and she was already fucking her ex. The same ex she’d sworn nothing would happen if they met.
All her promises about loving Dylan and wouldn't do anything to hurt him were all bullshit. She'd lied to him and to me. The guilt I'd been drowning in just a few minutes ago evaporated, replaced by a bitter relief. If she could betray Dylan like that, why should I beat myself up for a few texts? Whatever I did wasn't right, but it leveled the playing field.I checked my phone again, even though I already knew what I’d find. No new messages from Dylan. He’d disappeared just like that.
With a sigh, I pulled the comforter back up and reached for my laptop on the nightstand. My show loaded again, and I tried to lose myself in it, but it was useless. My thoughts kept drifting back to Dylan; to his thick cock, his voice, the filthy things he’d whispered to me. To the way he had—
No. I shut the memory down hard. I couldn’t think about him anymore. I’d deceived him. That was the only reason he’d shared those pictures with me. If he’d known I wasn’t Joan, he never would have.
I woke up to a hand squeezing my right boob and a hot mouth kissing my neck. I turned in the bed, a yelp escaping my lips, but it was swallowed instantly by lips pressed firmly against mine. My body reacted on instinct, arching into the kiss even as my mind screamed in confusion.
I could recognize that masculine scent anywhere.
It was Dylan. Here. In Joan's bed. Kissing me.
Oh fuck. Why was he here? Joan had sworn he was two hours away, tied up with that family emergency, and he hated driving at night. Hated it. So how the hell had he gotten here? And why was he touching me like this, kissing me like I was his? My heart pounded so hard I thought it might bruise my ribs. The room spun a little—maybe from the shock, maybe from the way his body heat seeped through the covers, pressing against me.
He pulled away after what felt like an eternity but was probably only a minute and sucked his bottom lip into his mouth. His green eyes locked onto mine in the dim light filtering through the curtains, and for a split second, I saw something flicker there—recognition? Amusement? But it was gone before I could grasp it. "I had to come," he murmured in a low voice."Couldn't take it anymore, baby. Seeing you on that call... fuck, it drove me crazy." I smelled the alcohol on his breath as he leaned in again. Was he drunk? That had to be it. That was why he didn't realize the woman he was groping so intimately wasn't his girlfriend. Why he hadn't noticed that our kiss felt different. Why he couldn't see I was literally shaking, my thighs trembling under the comforter from the fear of being found out. One wrong move, and he'd know.I should have moved away. But God, his touch felt good. Too good.
But still wrong.
"Dylan," I whispered, my voice barely audible, laced with panic. I pushed weakly at his chest, feeling the hard planes of muscle under his shirt. "What are you doing? I'm not..." "Shhh, baby," he cut me off, his mouth brushing my ear, sending shivers down my spine. "Don't talk. Just let me take care of you. You looked so damn needy on that call. Those texts... that picture. Fuck, you've got me so hard already." He didn't call me Joan. Just baby. Some distant part of my brain noted that, but I was too overwhelmed to question it. His hand slid lower, tracing the curve of my waist, dipping under the nightdress to skim my bare skin. I gasped as heat pooled between my legs again. "You're shaking," he said, his lips curving into a smirk against my neck. He nipped at the sensitive skin there, and I bit back a moan. "Is that from the fever? Or because you want this as bad as I do?" "I... I don't know," I stammered, which was the truth. Fear and desire twisted inside me, making it hard to think. His fingers danced lower, teasing the edge of my panties, and I clenched my thighs together instinctively. He chuckled. "Liar. I can feel how wet you are already." His hand cupped me through the fabric, pressing firmly, and I arched off the bed with a whimper. "Yeah, just like that. Open up for me, baby." I knew he was drunk and was probably mistaking me for Joan but I couldn't stop him. I didn't want to, if I was honest. Years of crushing on him, watching him with Joan, imagining what it would be like... and now here he was, touching me like I was the only woman in the world. He kissed me again, deeper this time, his tongue sliding against mine in a way that made my toes curl. His free hand tangled in my hair, tilting my head back to expose my throat. He trailed kisses down it, sucking lightly at my pulse point until I was panting. "You taste so good," he growled. "Better than I imagined." Imagined? The word snagged in my brain, but then his mouth was on my breast, pulling the nightdress down to expose me. He sucked my nipple into his mouth, swirling his tongue around it, and all coherent thought fled. I threaded my fingers through his dark hair, holding him there as pleasure shot straight to my core. "Dylan, please," I begged, not even sure what I was asking for. He lifted his head and smirked again. "Please what, baby? Tell me." "I... touch me. More." He grinned triumphantly and shifted down the bed, pushing the covers aside. His hands hooked into my panties and slid them down my legs with agonizing slowness. His gaze burned hot as he looked at me."Fuck, look at you. So pretty and wet for me."
He settled between my thighs, his broad shoulders spreading me wide. His breath ghosted over my pussy, and I bucked my hips involuntarily."Patience," he teased, pressing a kiss to my inner thigh. Then another, higher. "I've wanted to taste you like this for so long."
Before I could process that, his mouth was on me. His tongue licked a slow, flat stripe up my slit, and I cried out, my hands fisting the sheets."So sweet," he murmured. "Knew you'd be addictive."
One hand held my hip down as I writhed and the other slipped two fingers inside me, curling them just right to hit that spot that made my vision blur."Oh God, Dylan," I moaned, arching my back to give him easy access. "Don't stop."
He didn't. He sucked my clit between his lips and flicked it with his tongue while his fingers pumped in and out, building a rhythm that had me teetering on the edge in minutes. The room filled with the wet sounds of his mouth on me and my moans and whimpers. I was close."Yes, just like that," he murmured, pulling back just enough to look up at me, his chin glistening with my juices. Ride my tongue, baby. I want you coming on my face."
Then he was back, devouring me, his free hand pinning my hip down as I writhed.
I shattered. My pussy clenched hard around his fingers as I screamed his name out loud. He lapped at me through it, drawing out every aftershock until I was boneless.
I stared at her for a moment before looking around the study again. Empty. My father wasn't here. The bastard wasn't even in the country. So why had I never considered the possibility that she was lying to me?I looked back at her. "Then why the hell did you tell me he wanted me here?"A slow, infuriating smile spread across her face. "Because that was the only way I could get you home."My jaw clenched.Of course.She'd known I wouldn't come if she'd simply asked. She'd known exactly which button to push, and she'd pressed it without hesitation. She'd used my father because she knew his name alone would be enough to get me through that door.And like a fucking fool, I'd walked straight into her trap."You manipulated me.""Yes."She didn't even bother denying it.Something tightened low in my chest. I stepped farther into the room, and the moment I did, the space between us seemed to shrink.Up close, she was impossible to ignore. My eyes caught on her face before I could stop them,
I pushed the door open and headed straight for my father's study.I expected the house to be quiet. It usually was during the day, especially on a weekday. My father worked too much to spend much time at home, and even when he wasn't working, he rarely stayed around. These days, he was usually somewhere with Astrid instead—on vacation, at some expensive resort, or wherever else newly married couples went when they had money and nothing better to do with it.I couldn't remember the last time he'd simply been home. I couldn't remember the last time he'd called me, either. Actually, that wasn't entirely true. I could remember calls about practical things. Documents. School. Something he needed signed. Things that required my attention, not because he wanted to talk to me.I couldn't remember the last time he'd called just to ask how I was.The same went for texts. We didn't have conversations. We exchanged information when necessary and left it at that. Sometimes days, even weeks, went b
I must have really lost my mind.Doing that with Ella? That was fucked up on so many levels because, as much as I didn’t want to admit it, Astrid was my father’s wife now. And that made Ella my stepsister. A sister. I had just done that… with my own sister.The thought made something twist painfully in my gut. I wanted to tell myself it was a mistake, that I hadn’t been thinking straight, that things had simply gotten out of hand. But even those excuses felt pathetic because I knew the truth. I had known exactly who she was. I had known exactly what she was to me. And yet, I had still done it.That was what fucked with my head the most. I felt sick thinking about it now, but I couldn't deny that, in the moment, I hadn't wanted to stop. Admitting that made the guilt settle even deeper, because it meant I couldn't blame everything on losing control.I had made a choice.And now I had to live with it.I pulled off my glasses and rubbed at my swollen eyes. They ached from staring at the s
Her fingers were warm and sure as they closed around me, wrapping my length with a confidence that sent a slow, dizzying rush through my head. She held me like she’d been waiting for this exact moment; firm enough to make my hips twitch, gentle enough that every nerve lit up under her touch."You’re—" She looked down at what she was holding, and her breath caught. "You’re really big. Bigger than I imagined." Her voice dropped lower, almost a whisper. "God, you don’t know how much I’ve thought about this. If you did I don't know if..."She didn’t finish the sentence. Instead she stroked upward slowly, from the thick base all the way to the sensitive tip. Her thumb circled the head in a slow, wet swirl, spreading the clear bead of precum that was already gathering there, smearing it over the flushed skin until it glistened."You’re kidding," I managed, staring at her. "All that time… you were thinking about me like this?"She nodded."But you hate me."She didn’t stop stroking. If anyth
"I said get off." My voice cracked on the last word."Mmm." She didn't move. "You keep saying that. But your hands keep doing something else."She was right. My fingers were still digging into her hip, holding her there. Holding her against me like I was afraid she'd disappear.She leaned down and her mouth stopped an inch from my ear."Do you want me to stop?" she whispered.The question landed somewhere deep in my chest. I could feel her breath on my neck. I could feel every inch of her pressed against me. I could feel my heart beating so hard I was sure she could feel it too."No." The word slipped out before I could stop it.She pulled back just enough to look at me.For a few seconds, she didn't say anything. She just stared, her eyes moving slowly over my face as if she'd suddenly noticed something she hadn't before. The little silver studs along her lower lip caught the light when her mouth parted, and I could see the tip of the tiny barbell on her tongue when she ran it though
She took another step toward me."I'm sorry," she said quietly. "I really am. What I did was completely out of line. I've had time to think about it, and I feel awful about what I did to your books. I had no right to touch them. And I shouldn't have acted like that when your dad came in.""Congratulations." My voice was flat. "You finally figured out you're an asshole. Want a medal?"Her face fell."Your apology means nothing to me, Ella." I pointed toward the door. "So do yourself a favor and get the fuck out of my room. I'm tired, and I want to sleep."She nodded slowly. A strand of dark hair slipped loose from behind her ear and fell across her cheek. My eyes lingered on it for a second, and my fingers twitched at my side before I could stop them. I wanted to reach out and brush it away. The urge came so naturally that it irritated the hell out of me."Can you at least eat the food?" She held up the container again. The burnt spaghetti looked even worse up close. "You can't go to b
