CASSIAN'S POV

I shouldn’t be here, not like this.

But I am, and I can’t stop feeling like I’ve let her down.

She holds my gaze for what feels like an eternity. Her brows crease in a frown and I expect her to curse me out.

To call me a heartless monster. But she just shrugs and says “Okay then. Congratulations.”

Her back turns, leaving me confused.

“Is that all?” I ask.

“What do you want? A cookie?”

I don't know what I was expecting. Did I want her to grovel and beg me not to marry another woman

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    The Benefit of Doubt

    NINA'S POV My heart is already racing when I open my eyes, like something terrible has happened and I just haven’t remembered it yet.Except I do, and it makes me feel hollow all over again.Sunlight streams in through a gap in the curtains, and for a moment, it feels like my own bedroom.The ceiling is mine, the curtains are mine…The walls are the exact shade I chose three years ago, but the air just doesn’t feel like mine.Because this isn’t my room—it’s his version of it.But he's not in bed like he promised, so I prop myself up on my elbows and scan the room for his heated stare.I'm met with the cold silence of furniture and the faint whiff of his cologne on my robe.“Mother fucker…” my throat feels raw, but it's nothing compared to the storm raging in my head.The soft rug tickles my feet as I cross the room to the bathroom, in hopes that maybe he's in there.Again, I hit a dead end. My stomach churns, and I feel a tingle up my spine. This doesn't feel right.I wrap my robe t

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    My Stepbrother's Obsession

    CASSIAN'S POV I shouldn’t want her like this — not when she’s trembling in my arms, but the feel of her lips crashing against mine makes me weak in the knees.I tell myself that this is a distraction, yet my hands circle her waist on instinct.“Nina…wait…” my voice trails off when her fingers fist in my hair, sending tremors up my spine.This is wrong, and not because she's my stepsister. Hell, we're way past that now.Something is wrong. I feel it in the shiver of her warm body pressed against mine, and the urgency in her kiss. I pull away with all the regret in my heart, noticing the desperate glaze of her deep hazel eyes.“Nina, stop…” “Do you want me?” She breathes, fingers now combing through my hair.“It’s not that easy…”“It's a yes or no, Cross. Do you want me?” Want? That is an understatement for this ache behind my ribs and the swell in my crotch. I want to wake up everyday beside your hazel eyes and sharp mouth. I want —no—I NEED you, Nina…“More than anything in the

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    Princess in a Cage

    NINA'S POV Man cave round two. The first time, I nearly died of booze and panic. Now, I’m about to die of embarrassment and possibly regret.I came here thinking I could lie my way out. Big brain, Nina. Really big brain.Silence poisons the air as we walk down the corridor and I suck in sharp breaths, preparing myself for more alone time with the one man I should avoid. His breathing is even beside me, and there's an eerie calm about him that sends bells ringing in my head.I can't run anymore. This is happening.“You okay?” he halts by the door, brows raised.I try and fail to clear my throat, and my voice comes out wobbly.“I'm fine…never better.” “Okay, princess.”My heart flutters. He hasn't called me that in a long time, and I know this can't be a weird coincidence.He presses a thumb to the scanner, and the door whooshes open, revealing more darkness.His hand rests on my back, and I feel myself go rigid with…fear? Maybe he knows I'm lying and he's going to torture me and m

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    The Bouquet Trap

    CASSIAN'S POV “Talk. Now. Who did this to you?” Something’s wrong, and I can feel it in every pulse of her body—but the thought of someone else touching her makes my blood boil.She snatches her wrist from my grip and tugs down her sleeve, lips pursed.“It's uh…something I got a few days ago.” “And where did you get it from? Because I don't recall seeing these…” hellish marks.“Well, you weren't looking hard enough.” No, Nina, I'm always looking. She tries to get off the table, but I'm still pinned between her legs. Her heels brush against my legs, and I try to concentrate on my anger.“I have to go.” She whispers, gaze dipping to where our bodies meet.“Not until you tell me what's going on.”Her eyes snap up to mine, heat flashing in her glare.“Need I remind you that I'm not the only one keeping secrets? YOU'RE under investigation for murder!” Her gaze darts over my shoulders.“It's not the same.” I feel my body bracing, but for what?“It's murder, Cassian. There's nothing wo

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    When Monsters Touch

    CASSIAN'S POV The murder allegations don't unsettle me, but the thought of Nina looking into the abyss twists my gut.Her stubbornness is fucking hot, but right now, I ache to punch a hole in her beige wall. For a long breath, her gaze is fixed on Lucas and his smug face. Then her eyes find mine.“Cassian…do you know anything about this?” I'll be damned if I admit to anything, especially in front of her stuck-up cop brother. “Well? Say something!” Her voice is a harsh whisper, and her eyes dart to the curtains. “What do you want me to say?” My gaze slithers to her sweater sleeve. “For once, can you NOT be an asshole?” Her chest heaves, and one could swear this is the ‘murder’ scene.I don't care about that.It's a hot day. She shouldn't be wearing this. And why does she keep tugging at the sleeves?“Forget it. He's bluffing.” “Am I?” Lucas chuckles.My jaw tightens when I look at him, and my knuckles ache to crash into his smug face.He's saved by the shrill ring of my phone in

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    Tangled Loyalties

    NINA'S POV I should have cleaned the blood before I walked in.I also should have locked my door, but I didn’t think that'll keep anyone out.Now I'm standing in my bedroom, wide eyed as the men I planned to hide from rush towards me.Lucas hesitates when his eyes meet mine, but Cassian brushes past, face flushed.His fingers hover at my jaw, brows furrowed. In spite of myself, I feel my stomach twist and my pulse spike. “What happened to you?” How do I fathom the words to explain that my fuckass ex now has me on a tight leash? “I fell.”He arches a brow.“You…fell.” I nod, casting a glance at Lucas. He takes a small step closer.“I fell, seriously. I went on a run and—” Cassian wraps his arms around me and pulls me into him, knocking the oxygen from my lungs.My body stiffens, unable to process this warmth. I feel his hard chest against mine, and the heavy thud of his heartbeat lulls my eyes shut.Maybe I should have called him. If he had been there, things would have been d
