One Night Stand With My Stepson Chapter Fifty-Six
Camilla By the time morning came, I had barely slept. I had spent most of the night, turning in my bed unable to think of anything apart from Lucas.Vittorio had woken up at dawn, pressing a kiss to my forehead before heading off to deal with whatever business awaited him. I didn't intend to see Lucas, so when Martha had come with a letter from Elena about Cassio's memorial I had been so glad for an excuse to leave the house. I grabbed the gift I had prepared for her and told Elijah to drive me to her house.The memorial was already underway when I arrived. Elena stood at the center of the room, draped in black silk, her face covered by a heavy veil. To the outside world, she was a grieving widow, weeping for her lost husband. To me, she was a woman who had finally been set free.I made my way through the crowd, offering murmured condolences to the assembled guests. I was sure that most of the people here were not actually grieving Cassio. I heard the words if some women gathered in
One Night Stand With My Stepson Chapter Fifty-Five
CamillaI told myself I was only going to tell him to stop. That was the lie I rehearsed in my head as I climbed the stairs to Lucas's wing of the villa, my heart hammering against my ribs like a caged bird desperate for escape. Stop touching me. Stop kissing me. Stop looking at me like you can see every dark, shameful thought I've ever had.But the truth, the truth I refused to acknowledge even as my feet carried me down the dimly lit corridor, was far more damning. I was worried. The image of him bleeding and in pain, had lodged itself somewhere deep in my chest. I hadn't been able to sleep. Vittorio had finally drifted off in his couch bed. He had judiciously stayed there for a week and I had stopped worrying about how he was going to climb into the bed and take advantage of me. Lucas's door was slightly ajar. I hesitated, my hand hovering over the wood. Just tell him to stop. That's all. In and out. Nothing more.I pushed the door open.Lucas stood with his back to me, shirtless
One Night Stand With My Stepson Chapter Fifty-Four
Camilla My fingers trembled as I smoothed the final layer of bandage around Lucas’s ribs. The room felt too small, the air too thick. Every breath brought the metallic tang of his blood and the warm, masculine scent of his skin. I knew I should pull back. I was on my knees beside the couch, dress still stained from the alley, tending to my husband’s son like some guilty secret I couldn’t stop touching.But Lucas caught my wrist. His grip was firm, warm, and far too knowing. Slowly and deliberately, he dragged my palm lower, sliding it down the hard planes of his abdomen. My breath hitched. I tried to resist, muscles tense, but my body betrayed me. I leaned closer, unable to stop myself, drawn by the heat rolling off him and the dark hunger in his eyes.“Lucas…” The word came out shaky like a half plea, half prayer.“Shh.” His voice was velvet and smoke. He guided my hand even lower, until my fingertips brushed the edge of his waistband. “Feel that? How fast your heart is racing for
One Night Stand With My Stepson CHAPTER 53
CAMILLA I pushed through the crowd, my red dress swishing around my legs, my heels threatening to betray me on the slick floor. People pushed me and I stumbled. I had to find Lucas. I had to... My phone buzzed against my thigh, hidden in a small pocket sewn into my dress. I ducked behind a pillar, my fingers trembling as I pulled it out. LUCAS: Get out. Now. Service exit west. Don't stop for anything. I looked up, my eyes scanning the ballroom. Vittorio was surrounded by his men, barking orders. His gaze swept the crowd, and for a moment, I thought it landed on me. Then it moved on. I turned and ran. The service hallway was chaotic. Kitchen staff in white aprons fled past me, their faces pale with terror. A busboy dropped a tray of champagne flutes, and the crash echoed like more gunfire. I pressed my back against the wall, my heart hammering. West exit. West exit. I rounded a corner and skidded to a halt. A teenage girl huddled against the wall, her hands over her

Camilla My heart pounded as Lucas whispered, "It's time for the plan." I twisted in his grip, confused and angry. I looked up at him, trying to read his cold eyes. What was going on between him and my brother? The hallway felt thick with secrets, and it made my skin crawl. I turned back to Leo. He stood frozen, his jaw tight. His usual confidence was gone. Now he looked scared, like he wanted to hide something dark. He couldn't hide the panic in his eyes as they darted between me and Lucas. "Leo," I said, my voice shaking. "What is Lucas talking about? What happened eight years ago? Tell me." Leo said nothing. His lips pressed together. He looked at the floor, then back at Lucas with pure hate. Just silence. Guilty silence. Lucas loosened his arm, but his fingers brushed my hip. Too close. Too careful. "Go, Camilla," he said softly. "Or the plan ends now. Elena and Sophia stay trapped. Your choice." His words hit me hard. I knew the plan, our only chance to free my sisters. Wha
One Night Stand With My Stepson Chapter Fifty-One
CamillaMy heart slammed against my ribs as I stared up at Leo. For a second, the whole noisy world of the party faded. It was just my brother, tall, steady Leo with his familiar sharp jaw and those dark eyes that always seemed to soften when they landed on me. Relief crashed through me so hard I almost laughed. I threw my arms around him without thinking, hugging him tight like I used to when I was little and the world felt too big. His arms came around me instantly, warm and solid. God, it felt good to see someone who actually gave a shit about me in this snake pit."Leo," I whispered against his chest. "I'm so happy you're here."He pulled back just enough to look at me, his hands resting on my shoulders. His brow furrowed as he studied my face. "Camilla, you look like you're running from the devil himself. What the hell is going on? Why were you bolting through the halls like that?"I forced a quick laugh and stepped back, smoothing down the front of my red dress. The necklace fe

VittorioI was two minutes behind my schedule all because of someone who seemed to mistake my patience for weakness. Now, I was seated in the back of a black SUV, with my phone pressed against my ear."You got the money?" Bella's voice came through the speaker, rudely. The voice of a woman who kn

Camilla The dining hall was too big for just three people.Mrs. Leo had woken me up this morning to tell me that breakfast was ready. After the initial shock of what had happened last night, I had been so relieved that I slept well. But as I walked in now, I remembered the way Vittorio had pointed
