Tempt Me Again, Stepbrother Anticipating Peace
~Neville~Emily reacted in a flash, her fingers tightening around the edge of the silk bedsheet as she threw her body forward to block the entryway."Neville, wait! It's not what you think, please!" she gasped, her voice shrill with a frantic panic that sounded completely hollow in my ears.I didn't utter a single word. My expression remained stoic. I placed my hand against the wooden doorframe, stepping forward with an unyielding force that pushed her to the side. She stumbled backward against the wall, her wide, terrified eyes tracking my every movement as I crossed the threshold into the dimly lit room.And there he was.Carson was sitting on the edge of the king-sized bed in nothing but a pair of dark shorts, his chest bare and his hair tousled.The moment his gaze locked onto mine, total shock washed over his features. The color drained from his face as he stood up abruptly, the mattress shifting beneath him."Neville?" Carson stammered, his voice laced with absolute disbelief.
Tempt Me Again, Stepbrother The Night Trust Died
~Neville~I tossed the phone onto the mahogany side table and stood completely still in the center of the dimly lit room, desperately trying to rein in the crushing frustration clawing at my chest. But the moment I closed my eyes in the quiet darkness, my mind betrayed me.Flashbacks of the night ripped through my consciousness. I saw Carson standing too close to Veronica in the club, his hand brushing her arm, his lips curving into a lingering smile. The image flared behind my eyelids with blinding clarity, setting my nerves on fire.With a sharp intake of breath, I spun around, standing abruptly and beginning to pace the length of the room like a caged animal. I dragged a heavy hand down my face, digging my palms hard against my eyes to wipe the image away. But it didn't stop. The flashes multiplied, shifting, morphing in the chaotic theater of my mind.Veronica’s face blurred, her dark hair melting into long, blonde locks. The dim lighting of the club transformed into the lux
Tempt Me Again, Stepbrother Shadows of Betrayal
~Neville~I kept my hands locked firmly on the steering wheel, my knuckles pale against the leather. My jaw was clenched so tightly my teeth ached, the feeling of adrenaline still coursing through my veins at the events of the night.In the rearview mirror, I could see Veronica slumped sideways against the backseat, her head resting uncomfortably against the window frame. Her breathing was uneven, heavy with the unmistakable haze of alcohol, she was making unintelligible murmurs as she drifted in and out of a restless sleep.Beside her, Maureen sat still looking like she wanted to speak every passing second.I took my eyes away from the mirror and focused on the road, ignoring whatever was going on with her. I had no obligation to her, besides my mood was already so sour.Minutes ticked by as I drove until Maureen, unable to bear the oppressive quiet any longer, shifted uncomfortably in her seat."Um..Neville?" Maureen’s voice was barely a whisper, breaking the quiet like a cracked b
Tempt Me Again, Stepbrother The Sister Card
~Veronica~Carson snapped his hands back instantly, taking a step away from me. I choked out a ragged breath, pushing myself past Carson to stand tall. I glared directly at Neville, my chest aching."Leave us alone Neville” I said moving to shut the restroom door “go enjoy the party”Neville’s posture went rigid, his dark eyes narrowing at me"You're drunk, Veronica. You can barely stand. You're coming home with me right now.""I am not going anywhere with you," I retorted in my tipsy state, stubbornness flaring through the haze in my brain. "You have no right to tell me when to leave. Besides, I'm here with Carson. He's my date."Carson cleared his throat, he glanced between Neville and me before speaking in a low voice. "Actually, Veronica... Neville is right. You should probably leave with him. I was heading out anyway, I have some work I need to take care of." He looked at me softly. "It's best if you let him drive you back."I blinked, surprised by Carson's sudden retreat. Th
Tempt Me Again, Stepbrother Reckless Illusions
~Veronica~"I can’t believe they’re both actually coming," Maureen whispered, shutting my bedroom door behind us."Neither can I," I muttered, pacing toward my closet to swap my dinner attire for a sleek black mini dress.Twenty minutes later, the four of us arrived at the venue. Bass rattled the floorboards, and neon lights sliced through the heavy haze of alcohol and high energy. Almost immediately, familiar faces swarmed us. Group after group of women paused, their eyes unabashedly lingering on Carson and Neville."Let's grab a round of drinks to kick this off," Maureen announced over the music. She caught Carson’s eye with a cheerful wave. "Carson, come with me to the bar before the line gets impossible?""Lead the way," Carson said smoothly, stepping through the crowd behind her.The moment their backs were turned, I gripped Neville by the sleeve of his jacket and dragged him down a quiet hallway into one of the empty rooms, locking out the noise.Neville chuckled, letting h
Tempt Me Again, Stepbrother Entangled
~Veronica~"You're very quiet, Veronica."Carson’s voice broke the comfortable hum in the car as he turned off the main road and navigated down the long driveway leading to my family’s home. He glanced over at me with an easy smile, his hand relaxed on the steering wheel. "I hope I didn't tire you out with all my talk about the Sterling Group's acquisitions tonight.""Not at all, Carson," I said, offering a small, genuine smile. "Honestly, it’s refreshing to talk business with someone who actually understands it without trying to turn it into an ego contest.""Good," he murmured, his tone softening as he pulled up along the front courtyard of the house.Carson drove in through the open gates, nodded to the security by the gate and shifted his car into park. Then he turned in his seat to face me fully, leaning one arm over the center console.Before I could reach for my bag on the floorboard, Carson reached across, gently taking my hand in his. His touch was warm, precise, and delibe
