Janelle's POV

Something in his tone made my heartbeat quicken.

He turned to face me fully, and for the first time since we'd met, I saw something fragile beneath his usual confidence.

"Kennedy isn't my biological brother."

I frowned. "What?"

"He is my stepbrother and if we're going to face him together, then you deserve to know what he did to me ten years ago."

The room fell silent.

I didn't interrupt him.

Something told me it had taken years for him to say those words aloud, and I wasn't about

  • Sorry, Ex-husband You Lost Me    Chapter 30

    Janelle’s POV Zane’s voice cut through the thick silence, low and rough with hunger. “Do you like what you see, baby?” I couldn’t form a single word. My mouth had gone dry even as everything between my legs turned shamelessly wet. Kennedy had been big enough that I used to ache for days after but this was something else entirely. Zane’s cock was massive, thick enough that my fingers wouldn’t fully close around it, heavily veined, and so hard the flushed head glistened . I could already imagine that heavy length stretching me open, sliding in and out of my body until I forgot how to breathe. The thought alone made a fresh rush of wetness soak through my sleep shorts. A soft, helpless moan escaped my throat before I could stop it. Zane’s eyes darkened at the sound. He wrapped one large hand around himself and began to stroke slowly, using the thick bead of precum at the tip to slick his shaft. The wet sound of his fist moving over that hard flesh filled th

    Chapter 28Janelle’s POVMy body reacted before my mind could catch up.Heat flooded between my legs. I was already wet, the soft fabric of my sleep shorts clinging uncomfortably as I clenched my thighs together in a futile attempt to ease the ache. Hearing him talk like that made my pulse hammer in my throat. I grabbed the edge of the duvet and yanked it up over myself, creating a barrier that felt paper-thin against the intensity of his gaze.Without looking at him, I shoved one of the pillows toward his chest.“You can sleep on the couch if you want.”Zane’s low chuckle filled the quiet room.“I’ve never seen an adult afraid of sex in my entire life.”I finally met his eyes, heat still burning across my cheeks.“And you’re concluding that… why?”“You just rejected me,” he said, the corner of his mouth lifting. “I get it. I’m a contract husband and again, I overstepped my boundaries. Maybe I’m doing too much and I’m sorry…”The words landed harder than they should have. Something i

  • Sorry, Ex-husband You Lost Me    Chapter 27

    Janelle's POV Zane’s expression shifted the moment the words left my mouth. The quiet amusement that had been there a second earlier softened into something closer to hurt. He studied my face for a long moment before speaking, his voice lower than before.“Did I do something wrong?” he asked. “You didn’t like the kiss?”Heat rushed up my neck. I shook my head immediately. “No. God, no. You’re an incredible kisser. It’s just that…” I trailed off, searching for an explanation that wouldn’t sound as flimsy as it felt. “Can we just forget about it? Please.”He held my gaze a second longer, then exhaled and gave a small nod. “All right. I'm sorry, Janelle."I frowned."What are you apologizing for?""I crossed a line. We agreed this marriage would stay professional, and then I kissed you without asking first. It doesn't matter that the lawyer told me to kiss my bride. I should've made sure you were comfortable before I did”He smiled gently."So from now on, I'll keep my hands to my

  • Sorry, Ex-husband You Lost Me    Chapter 26

    Janelle's POV The SUV rolled through the wrought-iron gates of the penthouse and I was still absentmindedly twisting my wedding ring around my finger when the vehicle came to a smooth stop. Zane stepped out first before walking around to my side. He opened the door and held out his hand. "Mrs. Jones." A laugh escaped me before I could stop it. "You seem to enjoy saying that." "I do." Shaking my head, I placed my hand in his and climbed out of the car. The moment my feet touched the driveway, something caught my attention. Parked directly in front of the entrance was a luxury sedan unlike anything I had ever seen before. It was wrapped with an enormous ivory ribbon that stretched elegantly from the hood to the trunk, and beside it stood a chauffeur dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, waiting with his hands respectfully clasped behind his back. I stopped walking. "...Zane." He looked at me innocently. "Yes?" "What is that?" "My wedding gift to you” I blinked. "

  • Sorry, Ex-husband You Lost Me    Chapter 25

    Janelle's POV We were at the courthouse and I was a bundle of nerves. Beside me, Zane adjusted the cuff of his black suit before turning his attention toward me. "You've been unusually quiet since we got here, are you okay?” "Do you think we're making the right decision?” "What brought that on?" I let out a slow breath. "I honestly don't know." My fingers tightened around the bouquet. "I keep reminding myself that this isn't a real marriage. It's a contract. We both know exactly why we're doing this, and yet..." I paused, searching for the right words. "My heart won't stop racing. I feel nervous, and I don't even understand why.” His expression softened. "You're about to begin an entirely new chapter of your life. I'd be more concerned if you weren't nervous." "I suppose that's true." "You also divorced your husband only a few days ago, your father is waiting for a heart transplant, you're preparing to take back an empire, and you're marrying a man you've barely known for
