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 MoreCASSIAN’S POV The moment I snap, something inside me finally stops fighting.It doesn’t feel like surrender.It feels like the darkness I’ve spent years chaining beneath my ribs has finally found a crack wide enough to crawl through.My fingers slip from the curve of her jaw into the silk of her hair, cradling the back of her head with a reverence that borders on desperation, and before reason can drag me back—my lips find hers.God.One touch. That’s all it takes.Forty-nine hours of restraint. Months of guilt. All this time I spent pretending that I could survive without her.Gone.The world doesn’t disappear. It just ceases to matter, like the hallway behind us, the howling wind outside, Axel…none of it matters. Not even the blood on my hands and the promises I made to stay away from her. Every last one of them burns to ash beneath the quiet sound she makes against my mouth.I should stop, I know I should, but the monster I’ve been so terrified of becoming doesn’t want distance a
CASSIAN’S POV“Stop.”It comes out as a whisper, because if I speak any louder, I’ll break.Stop. The word echoes over and over in my head until it builds into a scream, but I don’t let it out. I can’t. Not when her bra is falling to the floor like the last piece of her dignity, and all I can do is stand there and try not to burst open.All these months, all this time I spent trying to protect Nina Donovan from every monster in the world, and I never realized that I’ll become one of them.“Nina…” her name burns my throat like acid, “please, put your shirt back on.”“No.” She shakes her head roughly, red flaming in her cheeks.“Please—“ “Show me where,” her body moves forward, skin glistening in the warm light, “show me where he touched me.”My breath slows with each step she takes towards me, ceasing completely when she stops two feet from where I’m standing, eyes slicing into mine like darts.Back the fuck away from her, Cross. There’s nothing for you here.I take a step back, bu
NINA'S POV Cassian never looks at me once during the flight.Not when the jet takes off, not when the stewardess asks if we want dinner…not even when I wake up with my cheek pressed against the window and realise I'd fallen asleep crying.He spoke only when he had to—to the pilot, to the flight attendant, to the driver waiting outside the airport.Never to me.By the time the tyres crunch over the gravel leading into the ranch, I've stopped feeling less like his passenger and more like luggage—like something fragile he’s transporting from one place to another... careful not to break it, careful not to touch it either.And amidst all this, my heart won't stop racing. I've held my breath, clenched my fists and torn my mind away from the steady rise and fall of Cassian's chest, but it just buffers right onto the one man whose last name now echoes in my ears like a haunting.Axel Cross.Cross. It makes no sense yet so much all at once. If only I can get the chance to—No, Nina. We're not
NINA'S POV Axel.His name echoes in my head like an unrelenting whisper, drowning out Cassian's voice.No.No, no, no.For what feels like an eternity, I forget how to breathe…as if the truth has somehow found a way to step on my lungs and not let go.Everything fades—Cassian, the countdown, the couch…none of it exists anymore.But those eyes.Those impossible blue-grey eyes smiling back at me from a photograph that should belong to a stranger. The same eyes that belong to Axel.But it can't be, no. I didn't…I met Axel on a random day at the movies. He helped me. He's been nothing but helpful and generous and…god. He even drove me to the restaurant to see my mom.Did he know? All this time, has he just been lying to my face? No. He doesn't know Alex. Axel. Alex. Axel. Alex. He doesn't know his father. He came to THIS CITY to look for him. Fucking hell…the truth has been staring me in the face all this time, and I just drowned it out with drinking and…kissing Axel. My fingers d
