ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER A little less burdened
“She had been sleeping around for so long, that it is her second nature. An unbreakable habit.” Chase continued in a detached tone. “It disgusts me.”He did not mention that what triggered his decision to get a divorce was finding out she had also been having sex with his own step brother. No, not just sex, but a whole affair. Repeatedly.It was unnecessary to mention that, because only the knowledge that Selene was a chronic infidel, was enough to shatter the perfect image Richard had of her.Anger roiled in Richard’s eyes from the news. He was also appalled, asking, “How—? How did you find out? And for how long has this been going on?”“Since the damn wedding. It’s something she had always been doing.”Richard went silent in his anger, slowly realizing that he should have calmed down to ask his son why exactly he was filing for a divorce. Now that he was aware, he would do things differently.“But are you okay, Chase? Fertility-wise?” Chase’s father asked, slowly getting out of his
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER The vip customer
Mackenzie ran the white towel over the plate till it was a pristine, squeaky white . She placed it on the rack, ready for use, and took another.It was a week after a crushing disappointment at the employment interview at DarkWood Furniture Company, and she had gotten a job.As a waitress.In some four star restaurant in a bustling part of greenfield. The only bright side about this job, was that it was not located right at the heart of the city like all the other places she has been. It lessened her anxiety and paranoia quite a bit.This was not something she had ever pictured herself doing, but she needed this job to survive. Her savings from North Dakota had completely run out. She had two kids to feed, clothe and take care of. Desperation had clutched her heart like a vice when she realized that they could starve if she didn’t take a drastic decision.That drastic decision was not an easier option for Mackenzie either. Her job hunt was incredibly crippled by the four-year gap in
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER A serving of your smile
Mackenzie took a step forward, asking, “What are you doing here, Mr. Axford?”Chase’s sea blue eyes moved to meet hers for a split second, then he raked his gaze down her body. A heated swirl of desire had charged up in him from the moment those doors opened and she stepped in.On those long legs in a black skirt that made her waist look even smaller than usual, and the white shirt that was buttoned all the way to the crook of her neck.It made the soft bulge of her breasts all the more noticeable. His needy gaze found it’s way back to her distressed face, and it was the most beautiful thing he had seen all year.Her thick and dark curls were bound back into a ponytail that swept down her back, bouncing with each slight movement she made. Tiny baby hairs curled around her hairline, so delicately, so fragile that he was filled with the ferocious urge to grab her, kiss her, make her straddle his thighs while he did the most X-rated things to her beneath her skirt.But her hazel eyes we
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Zero chances
Raising her head once she was done serving, she met his gaze. It looked so dark and dangerous, like a stormy sea, but she could clearly see the message in them. He was one thread away from devouring her, and there was nothing she could do about it.That thought jolted her back into action.She moved back and cleared her throat, trying to bring his attention back to the food in front of him.He glanced at the food, and said gruffly, “Come eat with me, Mackenzie. Sit right here.” He tapped the space beside him on the leather couch.She was already shaking her head no, when he transferred his hand to his strong, stallion thigh instead, and asked in a heated voice,“Would you rather sit on me, Mackenzie?”That question was so scandalous she nearly gasped. It’s double meaning made her blush bright red, because neither of them were innocent. Then again, Chase Axford and innocence never went hand in hand.“No.” She replied, a bit harsher than she intended.“Fine. Stay, and watch me eat. I d
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER The right time
Mackenzie walked back into the apartment after going to talk to her kids, and the babysitter at the neighbors’ apartment, and spotted Charlotte pacing around the living room. She was talking on the phone.“What do you think? The twins are in safe hands with that nice babysitter, don’t you agree?” Felicity stepped into the living room, wrapped in a bathrobe while she patted her hair down with a towel.Mackenzie nodded with a soft smile. “I’m so relieved. They looked so happy with their new friends .” Charlotte turned around, pressing the phone against her chest. “Hey, girls. I’m on the phone with Uncle Maverick. I told him to come pick us up!”“Why? You didn’t have to bother him…” Mackenzie protested but Charlotte was not having any of it. “He wants to see us, it’s been a long while since we were all together! I’m putting him on speaker.”She raised her phone and tapped on the screen.“Uncle Maverick, we’ll be fine. We just want to go have some drinks real quick and we’ll be back.” Ma

“That’s great, because I need to get drunk before I can say what I need to say to you guys!” Mackenzie exclaimed.“What?” They both asked.And Mackenzie let everything go. She told them everything she had been keeping to herself. About how she had walked straight into the last person she wanted to see in her life. Her kids’ father, Chase Axford.She told them about what happened in the Axford Hotel. Her job offer. The contract. And what had happened after she had found out and tried to terminate the contract.She told them of the debt she now had to pay, if she didn’t take up the job. “That’s why I stopped the kids from going to school.” Mackenzie muttered, throwing a paranoid glance over her shoulder. “Chase is almost everywhere I am, and I can’t risk him finding my kids.”Charlotte noticed the way she kept looking around and placed a hand on her shoulder,“Don’t worry, Kenzie. You can relax here, nobody could recognize us, even if they show up here by chance. And that chance is zer
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Curse her bad luck
Felicity had sensed Mackenzie tense up and go silent ever since “West” came over to their table, so she deduced that he was one of the people she was trying to avoid.Apart from the fact that Felicity wanted nothing to do with a player, she also wanted to get rid of him as fast as possible, for Mackenzie’s sake.West retracted his hand with an unfazed grin, “I didn’t mean to interrupt you ladies. My bad.”He slid out his business card from his pocket and placed it on the table, smoothly sliding it forward till it sat right in front of Felicity. She didn’t even glance at it, she kept staring at him blankly.“There’s my number. I am not expecting a call from you, but I’m hoping that you’d find me worth your time.” He gave a charming wink that made Charlotte fan herself, but it had no effect on Felicity.He continued, “I know you mind, but I have already paid for your drinks, so it might as well just order something.”“Please take your money back, we have no interest in using it.” Felici
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Calm exterior
Mackenzie followed the stairs, till she reached a hallway that looked too luxurious to be a public area of the building. It looked like some sort of VIP spot. She glanced back at the stairs, only to hear the sounds of someone loudly following her.Her face drained.Jeffrey had actually followed her! She thought he had been distracted with the waiters.Panicking, she ran further into the hallway, trying to spot an escape route. But there was nothing. The doors on the opposite walls were closed, leaving her no choice but to hurry forward. After a moment of pure panic, she finally spotted a door that was slightly open, so she ran towards it like it was her life line.She slipped through the space and hid behind the door, casting her frightened gaze across the room filled with low lighting and lots of shadows. Her eyes moved to the window, and spotted a tall, broad figure facing out of the window, with a glass of wine in his hand.Mackenzie froze, and in her shock, took a step back. She a
