My Stepbrother's Lust Forty Minutes
NINA'S POV Forty-nine hours and seven minutes.Not that I was counting or anything.Okay, fine. I was counting. But it's all I can do now…count. Every second, every dead end, every useless lead that dissolved in my hands until I felt like a fish tossed into the wrong ocean—unable to swim forward, unable to swim back, just stuck there with panic clawing through my gills.I watch the rain droning lazily against the window glass in Axel's living room, knees pressing tight against my chest to stop my heart from bursting right through. Forty nine hours since I saw him, and everything in me feels like it's crumbling. Twenty four hours since I saw the news, and I still haven't found him.How desperate I must have looked—peering into coffee shops as if Cassian will ever be found there, or at bus stations. I went to the airport. I stood around checking flights in a blue onesie, nibbling on my nails like a maniac. As if the humiliation wasn't enough for me, I…god…I went to the office. I wen
My Stepbrother's Lust She Never Left
CASSIAN'S POV I wake up angry—at Lucas, at myself, at the ancient mattress digging into my spine, at the violent thrashing in my chest that keeps repeating the same sentence over and over again.Your mother is dead, Cross.Bullshit.None of that is real, but what is real is the throbbing at my side—like someone has shoved a red hot poker into my ribs and left it there. The room is dark and it smells like a wilted plant in here, but I keep my gaze on the ceiling, blinking through the throbbing that intensified with every breath. He shot me. He accused me of murdering mom, and put a bullet in my side for good measure. I still remember the echo of the gunshot, the fire burning into my flesh, the stickiness that spread even as my grip on his collar stayed firm.We had crumpled to the ground together, gun still pressed to my side, and as the light faded from my eyes, I thought that I had died, that Nina would never know how much any of this meant, and I waited for the last seven minute
My Stepbrother's Lust He Chose...Me?
NINA'S POV The first thing I notice when I open my eyes is that the bed is round.The second is that it definitely isn't mine. I've never slept in anything this expensive. Not until Cassian, and…oh.A headache seizes my temples at the mere thought of Axel's name, and just like that, the memories slam right through the doors in my head.With the memories comes nausea—it shoots up my throat, and I clamp a hand over my mouth, searching for a door to the bathroom, or an exit. Something.A pearly white door sits in the corner, and I don't think. Not with the sour heat clawing its way up my throat. I push the door open, gaze falling on the porcelain toilet. Fuck yes. My knees crumble to the ground as I fist my hair with my right hand and retch into the seat, eyes shut tight as I wish the thoughts into the wind. But they stay like fucking ticks, sucking my sanity even as I push off the toilet seat and flush. I tell myself that I won't stop by the mirror and stare at the monstrosity that
My Stepbrother's Lust The Cross Examination
CASSIAN'S POV I always imagined that surrender would feel noble.Turns out it mostly feels like standing in the rain while your stepsister's homicidal brother points a gun at your chest.If Nina could see me now, she'd probably call me an idiot. The worst part is that she'd be right.But did I step forward anyway? You already know the answer. I still feel his gun aimed at my chest as I walk up to the porch. It creaks under my weight, but he doesn't flinch, just stays shrouded in the darkness, gun muzzle gleaming in the faint golden light. “Move.” I release a breath and step into the golden light, eyes roaming over the very, very small apartment. The heater must be cranked high enough. That's the only explanation for the heat climbing up my back as I hear the door shut behind me, locking in the silence that stretched like a band.The apartment is rather empty, save for the small television propped in front of a peeling blue couch that I won't sit on even if he presses the gun int
My Stepbrother's Lust The Last Thing I Have
CASSIAN'S POV Forty-three minutes ago, I walked away from my father, my marriage, and my inheritance. Now I’m sitting in the police station parking lot wondering if I was about to lose Nina too.It's all gone now—the ring, the company, my father… Yet somehow, sitting alone in the rain, she is still everywhere, punishing my lungs with her vanilla scent.I fear that if I breathe too hard, I might exhaust her presence, might lose everything I should spend years savoring. So I hold my breath. I do it until my lungs ache just like the rest of me, until time melts into her essence, and I find myself reaching for my phone, itching like crazy for the sound of her voice.Has she already gone too far? Was it so easy to leave me here? To not turn back until this is all that's left of her? I should have thought this through. I should have asked for a location…just this once…But this pain is for the best. It has to be. Still, I unlock my phone fourteen times before I realise that I'm staring
My Stepbrother's Lust The Axel Effect
NINA'S POV The first thing I realize after the gates of the Cross mansion disappear behind me is that Cassian’s heartbeat still exists beneath my fingertips—trapped inside his two black credit cards and the ghost of a goodbye I already knew would haunt me for the rest of my life.Surely this wasn't the end…nobody stops a tragically beautiful song halfway and says “end scene”.No. You sit in it. You feel it. You let it break you. Problem is, I'm already broken. So much that the tears don't even fall anymore. They just blur my vision and pool back no matter how hard I blink. The streets blur past in a halo of gold and bright red, but everything inside me just feels so cold, like I'm frozen in place and this is all just a bad dream.I shut my eyes hard and wish this nightmare into the wind, but I open them, and I'm still sitting in this fucking car, choking on leather and the last traces of his scent that my lungs refuse to let go of.Why? Why did it have to be so complicated? Why is
My Stepbrother's Lust Not the Bride
NINA'S POV It’s strange how weddings still go on, even after someone might have died.I don't want to be here. Every nerve in my body screams to run, but I stand still.The sweet smell of flowers makes me sick to my stomach, but I'm too empty to throw up.It's Cassian's wedding day. I can't make t

CASSIAN'S POV Lucas knocks down all ten pins on his first throw—and then looks at me like I'm the real target.“Your turn, Cross.” He holds out the ball, daring me to let him win. The floors squeak under my shoes when I stand, music humming in my ears from the overhead speakers. The balls drops
