NINA'S POV

I’m still lying in bed when the door opens and Cassian's body fills the frame.

I sit up straight, eyes raking over his body. His jaw is tight, fists clenched and eyes everywhere but on me.

“What took you so long? Where's the ice?”

“It'll be up in a few minutes. How's your hand?”

The door clicks shut, but he doesn't come to me.

I glance down at my hand. It's mostly numb now, save for the full throbbing.

“It'll be better with ice.”

“Good. But if it gets worse, I'm taking you to a docto

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    My Brother Wore a Badge Today

    NINA'S POV The wall in front of me is the exact shade of the nothing my life has turned into, and I count each second like a confession, waiting for the door to open, for someone to tell me which part of my ruin they’ve come to name first.My nails dig into my palm, lower lip tucked between my teeth. I try not to think about the looks I got as my own brother slapped a pair of handcuffs on my wrists and led me out of my apartment like a criminal. He wasn't kidding about the cop cars though. For a moment, it was like I was a threat to national security…then I saw her.Harper. Her red hair billowed in the wind, stark green eyes lasering into my skull.The hairs on my neck had stood on end, and as she lifted her camera, I felt my life clip away with each shot.I should have broken her fucking hands in Vegas. Lucas didn't speak to me much. Fucking coward. He couldn't even look me in the eye when he slapped on the cuffs. But I don't blame him. I mean…why expect anyone to choose me when

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    A Quiet Kind of Wrong

    NINA'S POV Of all the ways my life could spiral today, being recruited by my boss’s pregnant wife to fix the marriage I helped wreck was definitely not on my bingo card.Ex-boss, but that isn't helping anyone here, is it?I tell myself that this must be another one of the universe's many tricks, but Sloane still sits there, as real as ever.Help her save her marriage? Yes, of course, why not? Let me just set myself on fire and call it charity, because there is no world where a wife asks her husband’s mistress how to save their marriage.My brain tells me this is a trap, but my body screams for a response, for some shield from Sloane's piercing eyes.“Uh…” my voice trailed off, “I don't understand…” She dabbed at the lone tear on her cheek.“It's not THAT hard…you just…tell me what to do, and I'll do it.” This will be the perfect time to text Cassian to come get his wife. But what do I do? I sit there…like a fucking dummy.What do I say to get this pregnant wreck of a woman off my b

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    The Wife Who Came Knocking

    NINA'S POV Of course there’s a stranger in my apartment—because quitting my job and ruining my life over a man clearly wasn’t enough for one day.And this isn't me hallucinating from emotional damage.Sloane Whitmore is actually standing in MY apartment like she paid rent, rubbing her bump in a circular motion that makes my head turn. Cassian said she was in Malta, yet here she is, glowing like the sun itself with a glare masked in those bright eyes.I should be scared, but I'm all maxed out on emotions, save for the one throbbing in my chest—flaring hot and forcing my body forward.And I am so over this fucking apartment.My hand pushes the door open wider, and I see the shock glint in her eyes, yet she steps backwards to give me room.My boxes sit abandoned in the hallway, phone buzzing in my pocket, but I ignore it all, drowning out the noise until all I can hear is the sound of my own ragged breathing.“Who the FUCK gave you the right to come into my apartment and…what the—who t

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    No Contact, No Closure

    NINA'S POV I did not cry when I left him.I swallowed it all down—every piece of him I wanted to keep— until the jet lifted, and the ground fell away, and it felt like my heart stayed behind with him, still kneeling in that room, still breaking where I couldn’t reach it anymore.God…what was I doing? I tell myself that I didn't ask for too much, but the gnawing on my chest says I should have waited a little…loved him a little harder. Instead I chose this, and for good fucking reason. I sit by the oval window, holding my breath so I don't breathe him in. He's not here, but his presence lingers—in the seats, in the air, on my tongue…Focus, Nina. You just quit your fucking job.I rake a hand through my hair, hating that it reminds me of him, that I ache for his warm breath in my roots.Oh god…I actually quit my job. My mom will kill me. The one good thing I had going for me, and I went and ruined it.What would I tell her? That I quit because I fell for her step son? How stupid, ho

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    Destruction Tastes Like You

    CASSIAN'S POV I should’ve known better than to believe I could hold myself together around her.Nina doesn’t just ask for control—she quietly dismantles it, breath by breath, until there’s nothing left but the sound of me trying not to fall apart.She says it's the last time, but her lips claim mine like this should be forever…like I can freeze this moment in time and die all over again in her vanilla scent.Her lips are burning memories into me, tongue sliding past my lips and grazing my tongue in a slow motion that makes my toes curl. I want to let go, to step away and tell her how bad this is, how much this will destroy us both—but destruction seems fair, and if this is the most damnable sin, then I will burn at her altar until she frees me from her hell.My fingers leave her throat, raking into her silky soft hair, holding it up in a bun and letting it down again. She moans into my mouth, nails dragging up my chest, branding everywhere she touches. “God, Nina…” my voice tremble

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    This is How We Burn

    NINA'S POVJust one kiss.That's what I told myself when I looked at him. I didn't think about how hard his body would be...how hot.Now my fingers are raking through his hair, and I can taste his salty tears. My body releases a sigh, and his tongue probes mine, drawing a gasp from my lips.He tastes like whiskey and the sweet promise of sin, but that was what got me in this position in the first place. I should stop, what am I doing?My lungs are screaming for oxygen, and when he finally pulls away, I'm half drunk, half pieced back together.His chest heaves against mine, and I get the time to breathe, to think.“Nina,” his voice rasps, and I feel my knees buckle, “we should stop…” “Yes…” my breath stutters, but my body disobeys, and his fingers dig into my waist, wrenching a moan from my throat.“Oh…”“I'm sorry.” He stops, leaning against me for a moment, breath catching in his throat as he pulls away.My hands drop to my sides and I watch him take three steps back, fists clenche
