LOGIN“Fuck…please…” He risks a nibble, sending shockwaves to my core. My back arches off the wall with a sharp moan. His hand slides between my legs, cupping my soaking panties. “Look how wet you are,” he whispers, “...shaking, and I haven’t even fucked you yet.” He strokes my clit gently first, then harder. My toes curl, hair spilling into my sweaty face. He’s breaking me, ruining me with just his tongue and fingers. I can’t speak. I can’t think. I just tremble in his arms. ********* The night I caught my fiancé cheating, something in me broke. I cried. I screamed. I drove — into the rain, into nowhere, into him. Cassian Cross. A stranger with gray eyes, a sinful mouth, and hands that made me forget my name. One night was all it took. One reckless mistake to burn away my heartbreak. Until he showed up at my mom’s wedding… As my new stepbrother. Now, Cassian won’t stop. He corners me in hallways, whispers filth at the altar, and looks at me like he still owns my body. But there’s one thing he didn’t tell me— He already belongs to someone else. A fiancée bound to him by a contract… and a secret that could destroy us both. He’s dangerous. He’s forbidden. He’s promised to another. And God help me, I still can’t stop wanting him.
View MoreNINA'S POVTrust fate to take my broken engagement and shove it in my face. This time on Sloane’s perfectly manicured finger.Sloane Whitmore, she said. Cassian's fiance.Something bubbles in my throat and I realize I'm laughing. Not a soft chuckle, but an almost wheezing kind.Cassian frowns, Sloane clutches her imaginary pearls, and I'm just half bent over when I should be asking for answers.“Something funny?” Sloane asks, voice sharp.Oh honey, if only you knew.“No. Not really. It was really nice to meet you, Sloane.” I extend a shaky hand.My fingertips brush against the diamond stud of the ring when she takes my hand. I should yank it off her and tell her what a cheating jerk she's marrying.Cheating hot jerk, nonetheless.But I say nothing. I just let it simmer. Cassian has gone rigid, a thousand yard stare lighting his eyes. Like he's…disconnected.Well he better connect quick and give me back my fucking ring.“I'll go mingle with the other guests. You two have fun.” A smile
NINA'S POVMy mother glows in her white gown, the picture of everything I used to believe in.Sunlight streams in through the open window, casting a golden glow on her veil.I should be happy for her. Instead, I’m remembering how Cassian’s hands felt when I stopped believing in anything at all.I lean against the doorframe and watch her twirl before the mirror, a huge smile plastered on her face.She just gets to move on. To forget about everything. About dad.If he was still alive, would she have been so happy? Maybe not, but we would have been a family.My brother didn't show up as usual. Ever since dad died, everything just…I won't think about that now. For now I will put my fake face on and eat cake. I can cry in my room later. Nobody will notice. Nobody cares...Nobody but Cassian.The man who rules my days and haunts my nights.I don't blame him. Not with eyes that search and hands that break.God…what was I thinking stealing his car? He must really hate me now.“Nina? Are you
CASSIAN'S POVI tell myself it’s just another morning, but my body knows better.The sheets are cold, but I smell her everywhere —soft notes of jasmine and vanilla sitting sweet on my tongue.I had my night all planned out. When I saw her leaning over that hood drenched in the rain, I couldn't help it.So I brought her home. Now I have a head full of headache and regret.I knew I was hooked from the moment she got in my car. I just didn't realise how hellbound I was.Now I'm sitting up in bed and staring at the bathroom door, every nerve itching to join her.The shower runs steady. Soft sunlight streaks through the window, and I'm sitting there confused.What should I do now? Should I make her breakfast? Who am I kidding? I can't even cook.I’m halfway to convincing myself last night didn’t happen when a dull thud breaks the quiet.It echoes again. Downstairs. My eyes dart to the bathroom door as I cross to the door.If Nina is in there, who is downstairs?My father.Alexander Cross.
NINA'S POV Somewhere between his breath and my heartbeat, the storm outside stills.Rain drums gently against the window, muffling my moans as I completely melt in his arms.I cling to him like he's oxygen, breath ragged as he pulls me closer into him.He tastes like whiskey and rain.It's intoxicating — reckless enough to feel like freedom.His tongue grazes my lips, hot and seeking. I let him in. Let him taste me.His fingers snake around my throat. He breaks our kiss, eyes glazed with heat.For a second I can catch my breath. Then he leans in, lips grazing my chin.“Last chance, Nina. Leave while you still can.”He says it like he can ruin me. Maybe he can. This man, with his heated gaze and whiskey breath and strong hands around my waist.“You don’t want me to leave,” I whisper, and maybe I don’t want to either.Fucked if I run from this. My fingers graze his shirt, trailing down his chest.I feel him stiffen, muscles rippling under his shirt.“And what do you want?”I don't hesi
