Chapter 14

Astrid’s POV

His mouth crushed mine like he’d been holding back for years.

My gasp was swallowed instantly, his lips stealing the breath I didn’t even know I still had in me. For a heartbeat, I thought I’d push him away, but instead my fingers curled into his shirt, dragging him closer until there was no space left between us.

Damn, he was warm. Too warm. His scent– cedarwood and smoke wrapped around me, making my head spin.

I should’ve stopped. I knew I should’ve. But my body betrayed me, melting into his, aching for more of the taste of him.

“Rhett,” I breathed against his mouth, but it came out more like a plea than a protest.

He groaned low in his throat, the sound vibrating against my chest, and his grip tightened on my hips. Every shift of his hands set off sparks, dragging me further into madness. His teeth grazed my bottom lip, sharp enough to sting, before he soothed it with his tongue.

I was drowning. And the terrifying part? I didn’t want saving.

  • On My Brother's Bed    Beautiful Danger

    Chapter 28Astrid’s POVThe sleepover wasn’t half as terrible as I’d imagined.At first, walking into Talia’s house had felt like walking into chaos–pillows scattered across the living room, bowls of chips overturned, soda fizz fizzing against the floor. Music blared too loud, laughter trailed up the stairs, and girls were sprawled on every available inch of space like it was some kind of middle-school slumber party.But then the games started. Someone found a deck of cards, another girl pulled out a stack of board games, and soon enough, even I was laughing. I’d been roped into Truth or Dare, cornered into eating half a bag of spicy chips, and almost choked from laughing when Layla tried to sing karaoke with a mouthful of marshmallows.It wasn’t bad. Not bad at all.I’d been wrong.I sat with a blanket wrapped around my legs, a soda bottle clutched between my hands, almost comfortable for once until Talia appeared at my side. She tugged at my sleeve, her face flushed and her smile ju

  • On My Brother's Bed    Three Against One

    Chapter 27Rhett’s POVThe house was too quiet when I stepped inside.I kicked the door shut behind me, still holding the grocery bag in one arm, my phone pressed to my ear. Micah’s voice filtered through the line, the usual chatter about his work schedule, and the endless checklist of things I didn’t give a damn about. I knew he was lying. Micah Cole worked for my father.“Yeah,” I muttered, my eyes already scanning the living room. “I’ve got it covered. Don’t worry.”Micah sighed on the other end. “I just–look, man, I'll keep appreciating the fact that you're staying with her. But–”“I said I’ve got it,” I cut in sharply. “Focus on whatever the hell you're doing.”There was a pause. Then, “Alright. I’ll check in again tomorrow.”“Sure.” I didn’t wait for him to finish before I hung up, tossing the phone onto the counter.The bag crinkled as I set it down. I pulled out pasta, chicken, and some fresh veggies I’d grabbed on a whim. Cooking wasn’t my thing, but it gave my hands someth

  • On My Brother's Bed    Sleepover

    Chapter 26Astrid’s POVThe sound had come from upstairs.My heart thumped as I left the living room and hurried up the staircase. I pushed open the door to my room, the noise was near the window. I trod closer, narrowing my eyes as the faint rattle echoed again. I braced myself, tugging the curtain aside.And then I saw the new neighbor–the girl I’d glimpsed earlier was outside in her yard, fiddling with something that looked like a broken frame against the siding. She looked up at the same time I leaned forward, and our eyes met.Her cheeks flushed instantly. “Sorry!” she called up. “I didn’t mean to disturb you. Just fixing this.”I exhaled a long sigh. My annoyance cooled into resignation. With everything else swirling inside me, I didn’t have the energy to be pissed about a stranger clattering around.I let the blinds fall back into place.When I turned, I half expected Rhett to be there. But he wasn’t.I walked out of my room, padding back down the stairs. But Rhett was nowhere

  • On My Brother's Bed    Say My Name

    Chapter 25Rhett’s POVThe morning came too quickly.I stirred awake before the sunlight had even fully penetrated through the curtains, my body burning with the ghost of her warmth. Astrid still lay tangled in the sheets beside me, soft breaths parting her lips, completely unaware of the chaos she’d left inside me.For a long moment, I stood there in the doorway, staring at her.Her hair was spilled across the pillow like a halo, her body curled into the blankets, her skin still faintly flushed. I tore my eyes away before I lost myself again and walked down the hall to Micah’s room. I stripped and turned the shower on full blast, pressing my palms to the tile as the water scalded my back.“Fuck,” I muttered under my breath.Images of last night assaulted me–her gasps, the way her body arched against mine. I slammed my fist against the wall once, water splashing. I couldn’t believe I had let it happen again. With Micah’s little sister.And worse, I didn’t regret a damn thing.When I

  • On My Brother's Bed    You Taste Too Damn Good

    Chapter 24Astrid’s POVI gasped the second Rhett said those words.My wrists strained against the knot, but it was useless. He’d tied it too tight, his strength sealing me in place. My back pressed to the cool wall, and I could feel him hovering right behind me, his frame shadowing mine.Rhett’s hand trailed down my side, slow, deliberate. Too soft at first like he was testing me, teasing me, but even that touch sent a shiver crawling along my spine. My chest rose and fell heavily, and I swore I was seconds from breaking.Because his presence, his touch, his lips hovering just close enough was too much.I was afraid he was going to notice the way my body betrayed me, the heat pooling between my thighs, the wetness that gave away just how much I wanted him.Before I could think, Rhett shifted me. His palm pressed firmly to my back, bending me forward over the dresser. My eyes snapped to the mirror in front of us, and there we were—our reflections staring back at us.I caught a glimpse

    Chapter 23Rhett’s POVAstrid’s footsteps echoed faintly above me as she stormed upstairs. I sat there in the living room with heaving chest, the box of first aid supplies sitting useless on the couch where she’d shoved it.I dragged my hands down my face. “Damn it.”My control was slipping.I couldn’t tell her about what the event meant. I couldn't tell her the party I'd been invited to had been hosted by my father.That bastard.The thought of Micah working for him without knowing the truth of his identity made my chest ache.I cursed again and reached for my pack of cigarettes. The lighter clicked, and soon the bitter smoke filled my lungs, burning on the way down. One drag. Then another. Still it didn't help like the normal nights.Astrid's voice echoed in my head when she’d snapped, “You care about nothing anyway.She was wrong. Dammit, she was so wrong.I cared too much.By the time I’d burned through the last of my cigarette, the ashtray overflowing, my nerves hadn’t calmed. I
