NINA'S POV

It takes me a full heartbeat to accept that this man is my brother.

Sitting across the table from him in the small cafe, all I can think is that he is taller, older… and real.

But nothing else has changed. He still has his boyish smile and deep stare. His eyes still hold the same quiet sadness.

It's been there since dad died.

He nurses his cup of coffee, shoulders hunched.

The silence between us speaks volumes, and I don't break it. I don't want to hear about his life in wherever the

  • 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

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    When Morning Comes

    CASSIAN'S POV The fire has long since died to embers, but I stay exactly where she left me—bleeding, burning, and finally forced to feel everything I’d spent a lifetime running from.How can I look the woman I love in the eye and tell her that I married someone else to save my father's head? How can I explain to my Nina that I was born to serve, that I have never chosen a thing in my life…until her.I tried…I tried to love her in secret, to not stare too long during board meetings, or twist my fingers in her hair everyday and tell her how breathtaking she is…how enchanting, even in her tears…The couch offers no comfort, and the numbness in my feet carries memories of her warm hands cupping them, cleaning my wounds even after…God…I've been a fucking coward, a blind man who only gained his sight a moment before dropping off a cliff.Her vanilla scent hung in the air, twisting a knife in my already gaping chest. My fingers tightened around the wineglass, but it doesn't ease this ach

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    Not Your Forever

    NINA'S POV Cassian's words don’t just land—they detonate, ripping through my chest so violently that for a second, I forget how to breathe, and then the rage comes, hot and blinding, clawing its way up my throat like I might choke on everything I didn’t say.“Oh my god…do you fucking hear yourself? DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF??” My lips are moving, but the voice is not mine. Cassian's face goes white as sheets, and he takes a step back, but I take a step forward, face tilted to his.“Nina —”“You want to love me for a WEEK? Go on, Cassian, say it again. Say it again, you…bastard!” I whirl around and storm out into the hallway. I hear his feet padding behind me, and I want to break into a run, to hide in my room and rip my sheets to shreds.Instead, I stop short, turning to watch him slow.“Can you stop? Can you just…stop following me?” “It's not that simple, damnit!” His voice shakes, and he pauses for a breath. “I'm trying! Can't you see how tied my hands are?!”“As a matter of fact, no.
