ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Mine and mine again
Those words felt like boulders in her mind the moment Chase pointed them out. But that meant nothing to her. Even if the world came crashing down, she would never let herself be involved with the Axfords ever again!“I don’t care!” She snapped. “I’ll pay you that fine, even if I have to sell everything I own! I’ll terminate this contract even if I have to sell myself! And every valuable organ in my body! I would gladly do it!”Her voice held the defensive tone of a cornered woman who would do anything to stay away from a threat.Chase raked his gaze over her body, noting how beautiful she was, even when she was sending him death glares and resisting him with every fiber of strength in her body. That only made her more attractive to him.More damn desirable.Her pretty, creamy complexion was glowing. Her hazel eyes were brighter, framed by dark eyelashes that batted seductively each time she blinked. Her dark hair fell down her back in thick, shiny curls that looked perfect for Chase t
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER A God-Damned Rebel
For a long moment into the drive, Mackenzie was still in a daze over what just happened a couple of moments ago. It was all so fast, that her shocked mind had not had enough time to register it all.The intense and shocking meeting with Chase Axford. Him kissing her. Her nearly running into a busy highway. Him saving her. His fierce, possessive words.And now she was sitting in the passenger seat of his Lamborghini. It was difficult to make sense of it all.But now, she was snapping out of her breathless daze, and suddenly realized she couldn’t let Chase drive her home. She thought about her kids, and panic struck her.No way. He definitely should not ever know of their existence.Sitting upright in her seat, she brushed her hair back a she looked out the tinted windows. Her heart jumped in anxiety. They were already entering the suburban parts of Greensville where she lived.Triggering what-ifs bombarded her thoughts. What if her kids were on their way back from school, only to meet
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER A perfect family
Chase walked into his office, to see Selene perched against his desk, with her legs crossed provocatively in her scandalously short dress.He paused, pinning her down with a flat look. He was definitely not amused by her presence here. She had ignored the pristine couches decked out in one side of the large office, and the visitor chairs in front of his desk as well.Making herself comfortable right on his desk, with her ass pressing on some important documents.“What are you doing in my office, Selene? You are not allowed in here.” Chase said.“Your staff, especially that assistant of yours, know better than to try to stop me from coming in here, Chase.” Selene responded haughtily, flinging a couple of papers at his feet.He did not give her the satisfaction of looking down at the papers. He already knew they were her copy of the divorce papers.She leisurely moved her eyes to meet his, then she uncurled her legs and got off his desk. Her skyscraper heels clicked as she took a few st
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER The Order
As Charlotte went silent after hearing Mackenzie’s words, Felicity stepped out of the kitchen, already carrying the kids’ lunch on a tray. She was just about to feed them and prep them for their afternoon nap. When she saw Mackenzie, she smiled, “You’re back.”“Yes.” Mackenzie said solemnly, then she looked at both of them. “There’s going to be a change of plans concerning Calista and Cameron’s schooling. They won’t be going to school for now, we can take turns teaching them, since they’re just four years old. Their school work is pretty easy at this stage.”“What?” Felicity and Charlotte both echoed in confusion. Mackenzie sighed. “I know, but this is for the best, trust me. And it’s only temporary. I have experience with teaching, so I can do it. Charlotte, you can also help out when I’m not around to teach them.”Her paranoia had been triggered with full force after her meeting with Chase Axford. She could not stop thinking of how easy for her to never see, or gave access to her
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Forbidden memory
The gloom of defeat followed Mackenzie all the way back home like lead on her shoulders. Not just defeat, but utter devastation.It was just cruel.Dashing all of her hopes so carelessly. She had gone there confident and sure she would get the job. All of a sudden, they chose someone else? She didn’t even see any other candidate there except her. So how?With all those painful questions banging around in her mind, she walked closer to her apartment door. But stopped when her eyes fell on the bouquet of Pink Camilla flowers propped right in front of the apartment.What?That stranger had traced her house address here in Greensville as well? All the flowers they sent back in North Dakota was not enough?Anger erupted inside Mackenzie and she grabbed the flowers, smashing it against the wall with so much force. An angry sound left her as she flung her bag away to smash the flowers around better.All the frustrations and stress she had kept bottled in, all this time were all violently com
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER A cause for concern
That question jarred Mackenzie, because she was not remotely expecting that question. She jolted, then abruptly looked around the living room. She was looking for Cameron, hoping he had not heard what Felicity just said.Felicity spoke up. “He is in the bedroom, watching TV and singing along to his favorite show. He can’t hear us.”Truly, Mackenzie could hear his excited voice filtering into the living room and out through the bedroom door. Charlotte was staring at Mackenzie as if she just realized it now that Felicity mentioned it. She slowly looked back at Chase on the magazine cover, then even more slowly, looked back at Mackenzie with shock.“Chase and Jeffery are half-brothers, not related by blood at all,” Charlotte started like she was thinking aloud, “But when you look at Cameron…. He has blue eyes, which no one in your family has. Jeffery has dark eyes. But he looks just like…” She trailed off.Felicity added. “Cali used to look like you as a baby, but the older she grows, t

Chase swallowed a bite of the food he couldn’t even taste, and felt it settle wrongly in his stomach. Suppressing a grimace, he took a sip of water.This was torture.He loathed the sight of Jeffrey and his mother. That was why this food looked so unappealing. He would have asked West to come with him to the dinner, but he had a feeling that this was strictly family time.Besides, West was in the hospital receiving treatment for the injuries he sustained from they fight that landed him in jail.His eyes moved over to where his father sat, and noticed that he was picking at his food as well. The food couldn’t be unappealing, because Jeffrey was wolfing down his plate like an animal.Eleanor placed one hand on his arm, encouraging him to eat more in her sickening “worried” tone of voice. That was unusual. His father usually had a healthy appetite. Chase was still staring at them when he felt the pressure of someone’s glare at the side of his face.Before he turned, he already knew it w
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
