CASSIAN’S POV

The cruelest part about discovering a lie is realizing how many truths you built on top of it.

Brother.

The word sits between us like a loaded gun, and can’t I seem to look away from it.

Fuck…I can’t even remember the last time I allowed myself to imagine having one.

That word doesn’t belong remotely on a sentence with Axel—the blue eyed rebound who stood toe to toe with me in Lucas’s living room. The Axel who kissed my Nina. The Axel who is now my fucking brother.

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    If My World is a Lie

    CASSIAN’S POVThe cruelest part about discovering a lie is realizing how many truths you built on top of it.Brother. The word sits between us like a loaded gun, and can’t I seem to look away from it. Fuck…I can’t even remember the last time I allowed myself to imagine having one. That word doesn’t belong remotely on a sentence with Axel—the blue eyed rebound who stood toe to toe with me in Lucas’s living room. The Axel who kissed my Nina. The Axel who is now my fucking brother.All this time, I thought the worst thing my father had hidden from me was a murder. All this time, I was so wrong.“Cassian,” a voice breaks through the thick of my skull. I blink. Nina’s grip on my wrist stays firm.“Baby…do you need to sit down?” Her lower lip quivers as she looks up at me, but I find myself lost in the hazel eyes of the woman I love and wonder just how many pieces of my life she’s been holding in her hands without me knowing.“I’m fine.” I say, even as I hear my voice crack. Gently, I

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    The Other Victim

    CASSIAN’S POVI know that look on Nina’s face.I’ve seen it before—that raw, instinctive fear, the kind that sinks so deep into the body that it makes a person forget how to breathe—and it almost makes me take a step back.Almost.Her words hang in the air like a weight, and I find myself wishing that I can snap my fingers and take us back to last night, when secrets lay buried and trust existed. Fragile, bleeding trust…but it was there.“Who was on the phone?” I hear myself ask.She stands there, barely out of reach from me in my oversized shirt, sunlight catching the hazel in her eyes as her fingers twitch at my sides.“I want to tell you. I WILL tell you,” her voice stalls, “but we need to get out of here.”“What are you saying?”“I’m saying that we NEED TO LEAVE.”Frustration wells in my chest.“I know what you said, I’m asking why you—“My phone buzzes insistently in my hand, cutting me short.I glance down at the screen.Sloane. Fucking hell…“Don’t answer it!” Nina’s says sharp

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    The Love We Hide

    NINA’S POVI wake up reaching for Cassian, my fingers finding only cold sheets, and for one hazy, terrifying moment, I lie rigid staring at the ceiling, wondering if last night was ever real at all.A tiny slice of sunlight steals into the room through the parted curtains, and I tell myself that the memory of his fingers in my hair is real. But where is he? This is his bedroom. The sex was real. The shower was real. Everything he said…Yeah. Definitely not a dream. Not with that buzzing sound plaguing my ears—like a bee found its way in.My neck turns to the sound, and I find Cassian’s phone on the nightstand, screen lit up with a name.Don’t do it, I tell myself…but I crane my neck to see.The name makes my heart stop.Sloane. With a ring emoji.My mouth goes cotton dry, and I turn to the door, ears pricked for the thud of footsteps or the sound of running water— anything to stop me from reaching for the phone.Nothing. The buzzing continues. Fuck it. I lift the phone off the sta

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    Borrowed Time

    NINA’S POVI know what Cassian is about to say before a single word can reach me.I can read it in the way his lips part, the way his eyes drop, and the way his entire body looks like it’s bracing for impact—and it makes my blood run cold.I want the truth. It’s all I’ve ever wanted. But what happens when the truth threatens to shatter the little slice of peace we just found?I try not to look at the blood on his forehead when all I want to do is to find out why. Eyes. Look at his eyes. Red rimmed and glazed over in the faint light, he blinks slowly and drops his gaze to my feet.No, look at me. Please.“Nina…” his voice comes out raspy, and I make up my mind then and there.“I…I was going to say that when I left, I talked to—““Can it wait?” I blurt, ribs tightening as he lifts his gaze back to my face.“What?”My nails dig into my palm.“This…thing. Can it…wait?”His brows twitch, but I watch his shoulders broaden ever so slightly.“Absolutely.” He says, eyes still searching my fa

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    Loose Ends

    CASSIAN’S POVThe second I step out of the room, the love I left on my lips dies—and the monster I’ve spent all evening pretending I buried wakes the fuck up.“What’s going on?” I hold the phone to my ear, hearing Sloane’s steady breathing on the other end.“Hey, um…are you up?” Her voice rasps. I hear a rustle and a deep sigh.“Yes,” I glance back at the bedroom door, “I’m kind of in the middle of something…is everything alright?”She hesitates, and I feel my heart clench. “Sloane? Is it the baby?”“What? No! The baby is fine, it’s just…” her voice trails off, and I hear her sigh, “Alex reached out.”Shit.I glance over my shoulder at the door, knots tightening in my gut.This will take longer than I thought. Forgive me, Nina. I cross the hallway to the foyer, phone tucked against my ear.“Talk to me.” “Okay, so this morning I went for my doctor's appointment, and I got really thirsty after…”“Okay?” I grip the staircase banister and take the stairs two at a time. “I sent Cara t

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    Before You Say Yes

    NINA’S POV I forgot what it felt like to be looked at by Cassian Cross like I was the only sin he had ever wanted to commit.But it’s hard to deny how much he missed me, how deeply he missed us. Every thought I form gets wiped away each time he dips his tongue inside me. It’s almost like he’s trying to punish me and worship me at the same time, and god…I’m so powerless to stop him. My body breaks out in a cold sweat. My hands strain against my bonds, caught between needing my balance and aching to thread my fingers in his silky smooth hair.Cassian. My Cassian. Fuck, fuck…I’m cumming…My legs buck violently, clamping shut around his neck as a cry rips from my throat. Heat. That’s all I can feel searing in and out of me as this man continues to punish me with his tongue. My chest heaves, and something coils tight in my belly, something only Cassian has ever gotten out of me.“Baby… I’m—cumming again…” my teeth chatter, blood pooling in my head as the waves build to hurricane leve
