MasukSableHe held my arm and pulled me with him as I followed him all the way. I hoped, even if it was a slim chance, that Brant, Joss, or anyone would come to rescue me from him. We reached the empty spot where Brant and I had been earlier — that’s how I knew the bastard had seen me with Brant. I wondered what the hell he wanted. He removed his mask and looked at me, anger etched across his face.I stared at him. Under his right eye was a scar that stretched down his cheek, almost to his full lips — the ones I used to love kissing. But now, they disgusted me, and I wasn’t even surprised he had ended up with such a terrible scar. He should have gotten more.Seeing him reminded me that the bastard’s sister had a scar too, caused by that bitchy Leslie, but Marirose’s scar could barely be seen now.I removed my own mask and stared at him with a straight face to show him I wasn't scared of him anymore."What do you want? Why are you so quiet?" I asked, my voice full of determination. I wasn’t
SableThere I was, standing in front of the mirror, looking at my reflection in a midnight blue dress that Joss had gotten me to match his suit. He walked behind me, picking up my mask from the vanity table."Look how beautiful you look, darling," he said. I glanced at myself again, and honestly, I did look good, even with the little makeup Marirose had put on my face. I didn't even know why I let her convince me.He slipped my mask on, then put on his own. "Let's go."He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me out of the room.As we arrived at the venue, Joss got out, came to my door, and opened it, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me toward him. For some reason, I felt goosebumps prickling my skin, like I was nervous. My hands fidgeted, and I lightly rubbed my neck. I couldn’t shake this jittery feeling, and at the same time, I was trying to scent Brant."We’ll see him soon," Selene said.We walked inside, and the place was amazing. A big hall, beautiful — an elite crowd
Sable Everyone was sitting at the dining table, digging into their meal. Even Kit had returned early today. I wondered if Rhett had an announcement to make.“This food is so fucking delicious. Thank you, Rosie,” Jericho said, looking at Marirose as she brought fruit to Rhett.Everyone laughed as Brant patted his shoulder.“I didn’t cook. Dani did,” Marirose replied.Jericho turned to Dani, who was joining us at the table. “I’m sorry, ma’am, but I really do like your food.”Another burst of laughter erupted around the table.Dani tried to hold back her laughter as she said, “Marirose helped me too.”“So now he’s going to be your right-hand man?” Rhett asked.“That’s awesome,” Kit said, glancing at Jericho’s giant figure. “No one will cross you, brother.”“Don’t worry, kid. I’ll take care of your brother. He has my loyalty,” Jericho said.“So, how’s the club going?” Rhett asked, wiping his mouth with a napkin.“It’s going great, actually. I just need one thing now…” Brant’s eyes flicke
SableEver since we returned to the mansion, I’ve been trying to find the perfect time to break up with Joss. It’s so fucking hard. Every time I try, something happens — he has to leave for work, or someone calls him. And worse, even when I have the chance, I don’t know what to say or how to go about it. I can’t exactly tell him the truth: that I want to break up because I’m helplessly into his brother.When Joss left for work one morning, I headed downstairs and found Marirose in the kitchen, studying a piece of paper.“Hey, Rosie,” I said.“Hey, Sable,” she replied, still engrossed in the paper until she looked up at me. Then she smiled before going back to it. “So, what’s up, girl?”“I’ve got nothing to do. Why don’t we do something together — like some self-care, a spa day, shopping, or even just pampering ourselves a little?” I suggested.She lifted the paper for me to see. “I actually need to do some grocery shopping. Unless… you want to come with me?”“Yeah, sure,” I agreed.We
SableOn our last day at the cabin, I woke up thirsty and went downstairs to grab a bottle of water from the fridge. I sat down, thinking about all the time we had spent here and how much I was going to miss it. That’s when I heard footsteps. Looking up, I saw Brant walking in, looking so damn hot. His hair was tousled from sleep, and he was shirtless, wearing only loose trousers that hung low on his hips, the lines of his body visible and impossible to ignore.He grabbed a bottle of water too, and there I was — already thirsty in a way only he could quench. He walked over and stood in front of me.“Thirsty, huh?” he asked.I had no idea if he was talking about the water in my hand or about the way I was practically drenched for him. I just nodded as he opened his bottle and gulped it down. I had to turn away before I lost myself. Water was dripping down his chest, and damn, he looked too good.I didn’t even realize I was fanning myself until he smirked.“It’s hot in here, right?” he
SableWe all sat down to dinner, everyone happy and relaxed, when Rhett suddenly asked, “Where is Melissa?”“I forgot to tell you. She left with her luggage. She was sad, even crying and cursing under her breath. She told me to tell Brant to go to… hell,” Marirose said.“She’ll be the one going there, because I didn’t throw her out,” Brant replied.I almost burst out laughing, but I held it in, keeping a straight face. Melissa leaving, paired with Brant’s reply, nearly broke me.“Why would she say that then?” Rhett asked.“I told her she couldn’t come into my room anymore, because our relationship has been over for a long time. Fuck it… I told her she could stay if she wanted, but my room was off limits to her,” Brant said.“I’m sorry, son, but Melissa came here to make the family happy. She even picked out a movie for tonight. She’s trying to make you happy too,” Dani said gently. “And besides, what’s so wrong with Melissa? I think you two match each other’s energy… in marriage, in l
Sable I woke just after midnight, my throat dry and craving water. With Joss sleeping peacefully beside me, I decided not to wake him. I slipped out of bed, dragging my feet quietly as I made my way toward the stairs.As I passed Brant’s bedroom, I froze.Moans. The muffled sound of a woman’s moan
Sable I arrived back at the mansion, finally managing to stop the tears streaking down my cheeks. Brant was bad news. I knew that. I came here to get revenge for Jessica. But I’d been stupid. My foolish heart had gone and fallen in love with him.Why Brant? Why him? Why not Joss?“Sable!” Marirose
SableThree days later, we finally packed up to head to the cabin for a week. Rhett had organized everything, of course. We were taking two cars—I’d be traveling with Brant, Joss, and Marirose, while Rhett rode with Kit and Dani in the other, Rhett’s driver at the wheel.I sat in the backseat, dire
Brant I was ready. This was the final round, and I couldn’t wait to face that motherfucker. My opponent was Don Franco’s man. I needed to defeat him not just for the victory, but so Franco would understand exactly who I was. No one would ever dare touch me again. I knew his son was the one who tri
