Rhys

Charlotte opens her eyes, studying my face.

"You really thought I was working with Kevin?"

"For a few hours. Yes." There's no point in lying.

Kevin is a master manipulator. He got inside my head and planted seeds of doubt that grew like poison."

"But you should have known better..."

"I should have. You're absolutely right. I should have trusted what I knew about you. I finally let myself reach out, my hand hovering over hers. "Can I?"

She hesitates, then nods.

I take her hand gently, careful of the IV, careful of her injuries.

"Charlotte, I love you. I've loved you since the moment you walked into my life. And that love made me terrified... terrified of losing you, of being betrayed, of having my heart destroyed the way my father destroyed my mother's." I squeeze her hand gently. "But that fear is my problem. My damage. And I should never have let it hurt you."

"You can't just love someone and then doubt them the moment things get hard..."

"No. You can't. And I won't. Not ever ag

  • THE WRONG BROTHER    Chapter 88

    Charlotte The bistro Mom suggested is one of those trendy places with exposed brick walls, Edison bulbs hanging from the ceiling, and a menu full of words like "artisanal" and "locally sourced."I arrive fifteen minutes early because I hate being late, and also because sitting at home in Rhys's apartment was making me stir-crazy. Every shadow looked like someone watching. Every car that drove by could be Kevin's hired PI.I need to get out of my own head.The hostess seats me at a table near the window where I can see the street. Mom texted that she's running late traffic on the bridge, so I tell the server I'll wait to order."Can I get you something to drink while you wait?" she asks."Just water, please."While I wait, I pull out my phone and scroll mindlessly through emails, messages, anything to occupy my brain.Then I notice a woman sitting alone at the bar, nursing what looks like a gin and tonic. She's striking, late thirties, maybe early forties, with dark hair pulled back i

    Rhys"I understand the concern...""Do you?" Richard Abrams, another board member, leans forward. "Because I'm not sure you do, Rhys. This company was built on your reputation for being untouchable. For always being three steps ahead. But right now, it looks like someone else is calling the shots."I force myself to stay calm. "We've had some setbacks, yes. But Vertico is still...""Setbacks?" Margaret's voice rises. "Setbacks are losing one client. Maybe two. This is a systematic dismantling of our client base. And I want to know why."Everyone's looking at me now. Waiting.I could tell them the truth. That my psychotic stepbrother infiltrated the company, fed information to my enemies, sabotaged deals from the inside. That my ex-stepbrother Kevin has made it his life's mission to destroy me.But that sounds like excuses. Like I'm not in control."We've identified internal security issues," I say carefully. "Someone was leaking proprietary information to competitors. We've since term

    Charlotte I wake up to sunlight streaming through the curtains and the sound of the shower running.For a moment, I just lie there, staring at the ceiling, my mind immediately going to yesterday. The shower cuts off, and a few minutes later, Rhys emerges in a cloud of steam, a towel wrapped around his waist.I prop myself up on my elbows to watch him move through the bedroom, pulling clothes from his closet. There's something mesmerizing about watching him get ready, the careful, methodical way he does everything.I watch the way the fabric settles on his hips, the way he fastens the belt with practiced efficiency. There's something incredibly intimate about this, not sexual, just... close. Like I'm seeing a side of him the rest of the world doesn't get to see."Big meeting today?" I ask."The biggest. Emergency board meeting." He pulls a crisp white dress shirt from the closet. "We need to address the client losses, figure out our strategy moving forward.""Are you nervous?""Terri

    Charlotte "I don't know yet." I meet his eyes.There's something in Rhys's expression, concern mixed with pride, maybe even a little fear."Just... don't do anything reckless," he says."When have I ever been reckless?"He gives me a look."Okay, fair point." I open the car door. "But I'm serious, Rhys. I can't keep living like this. Something has to change."We get in the car and Rhys starts driving back to his apartment. I stare out the window, my mind already working.Fine.Two can play that game."Charlotte." Rhys's voice pulls me from my thoughts. "I know that look. What are you planning?""Nothing yet. Just thinking.""That's what worries me."I glance at him. "You said you trusted me.""I do trust you. I just also know you well enough to know when you're about to do something dangerous.""I'm not going to do anything stupid, Rhys. I promise." I reach over and squeeze his hand. "But I'm also not going to be a sitting duck."We pull into the parking garage of his building, and R

  • THE WRONG BROTHER    Chapter 84

    Charlotte We leave the apartment in tense silence. The elevator ride feels too long, the parking garage too exposed. I keep looking over my shoulder, half expecting Kevin to jump out from behind a car.But he's not there. Of course he's not, he's too smart to violate the restraining order so obviously. He'll use proxies, hire people, stay just far enough away to maintain plausible deniability.In the car, I stare out the window, watching the city pass by. Every person on the sidewalk could be working for Kevin. Every car behind us could be following us.Rhys reaches over and takes my hand. I grip it like a lifeline.We pull up to a modern office building in a quiet neighborhood. It's professional but not sterile, there are flower boxes in the windows, trees lining the street.Dr. Lydia's practice is on the third floor."I'll be right here," Rhys tells me as he parks. "Take as long as you need."I nod, then lean over and kiss him. "Thank you. For everything.""Always."I force myself

    Charlotte “Taste it,” he says, eyes locked on me.I didn’t hesitate.I took his fingers into my mouth, sucking them deep, tasting myself on his skin.Rhys eyes darkened.“Good girl. I’m gonna fuck you so hard right now.”My legs are parted wide, revealing my pussy in full display.He rubbed the head of his cock against my soaked entrance, sliding through my pussy but never pushing in.I lifted my head, watching him between my legs.“Don’t hold back,” I whispered.“I won’t, Charlotte. You’ll feel it, every inch.”Then he slammed into me.My mouth parted in a silent cry as my pussy stretched around him. He didn’t slow down. He buried himself deep, hard and relentless.His thrusts became harder, rougher and faster.“Jesus… Charlotte… you feel so fucking good,” he says, tightening his grip on my waist as he pounded into my pussy, fast and brutal.Lost in the wild rhythm, he gripped my hips tight, driving harder with every stroke.Then he stopped.He grabbed me and crashed his mouth on my
