MasukM“You want to stop? Fine. I’ll stop. But at the end of the day, pretty, you’re the one that’ll come begging.” “Want to bet?” My voice comes out shaky. Just like my legs. Devon’s gray eyes light up, his lips curling into a smirk. “Bet. Which one of us gets to break before the wedding night.” This is a bad idea. Everything in me is screaming not to take it. I know. I fucking know. Devon is a blockbuster curse. I’ve gotten a taste of him and I want more. Heat and wetness floods my pussy. I want him again. I should refuse. I should walk back to Carter and pretend to be a loving wife. Instead, I nod. “Deal.” **** I caught my husband, Carter Stein, having sex with a man and a woman. His reply? “Our marriage is open now. This is normal. ” I tried to leave but he wouldn’t let me. Every opportunity to get a survive failed, and I was left at my wits end. Until I met him. Devon Sinclair. My husband’s older brother. A man soaked in danger and sex. I thought to myself “my perfect revenge.” But Devon wasn’t the savior I thought he was. No. He was the wolf. And I was the lamb naive enough to wander into his den. He sunk his teeth into me. Mind, body and soul. I can’t escape him, not even in death. I taste my blood on his kisses. He’ll ruin me, totally and beyond repair. I shouldn’t have crossed his path. I shouldn’t have kissed him. But I did. And the worst part? I’ll walk into his den again with an invitation taped on my forehead.

All around me; everyone is in equal states of distress. Phone calls going left right and center, a dozen voices overlapping each other, and poor Ashley, grandma Hale’s assistant, pacing behind me like a scared mother hen. “Allera sweetie?” Grandma Hale’s calm voice sounds windy. “What’s the matter?”“The matter?! You…you left me a dying gallery!” “Whatever do you mean by dying?” She laughs, her signature nostalgic laugh but one I don’t have the energy for right now. “Rosen Gallery is dying, grandma. The accounts are a total mess, we haven’t had any profitable shows in literal months and don’t get me started on the vultures waiting to feast on our corpse!”“I’m sure you can handle everything, Allera. You’ve always been the one with the sensible head! There’s nothing you can’t fix, no?”I bite my lip till it bleeds, glaring at
Allera’s POV Fuck. Here it comes. Turns out I was right after all. Keeping my face straight, I calmly push my gelato to the side and focus on Devon. “Yes. I’ve noticed it. It was pretty obvious and after last night…so I want to know. What happened?”Devon chuckles. “Why are you serious?”My back straightens and I become very interested in the space between his brows. “Because this isn’t a laughing matter, Devon. It’s fucking serious.”“Believe me, Pretty, nothing in the Stein family is ever and I mean ever that serious.”My chest rises and falls rapidly and my fists curl in on themselves. My heart picks up, and for the first time, it hits me just how heartless this man before me is. He thinks sexual abuse is not that serious?! Between brothers for that matter?! I’m going to be sick. Why did I even—“Fine. I’m going to tell you everything. But only because I suspect you’ll combust if you think about it a second longer.”I inhale through my grit teeth. “Go on.”“Fucking hell. This
Allera’s POV I don’t know why my legs carried me out of the villa. I shouldn’t even have done that, or considered the strange text for one second. But my body knew who it was even though his number wasn’t saved. And my feet knew where to carry me to. Excusing myself from Carter was easy. Cynthia came up to him and lured him with wine and dance. Using that opportunity, I slipped away. After getting the largest coat I could find, I made my way outside. Devon’s car is the first thing that surprises me. I expected something over the top and flashy. Instead I find a simple sleek, black car. Quiet in the way that truly expensive things are. But upon closer inspection, I find it’s a Panamera. The car I’ve always wanted to have. Simple yet luxurious.That automatically earns him a point in my good books. His promise of gelato is too interesting to give up. I tell myself I should indulge in the delacies of the land because I’ll be gone tomorrow. Really it’s just an excuse to be close
Devon’s POV“You’re just going to sit back, son?! And watch your friend get devoured by that devil?!”“That devil is my mother. And once upon a time, she was your wife.”“Like I give a shit! If you knew half the things that woman did, you’d disown her!”I rub my temples, hoping that by doing so it’ll stave off the headache brewing in my skull. It doesn’t. This is exactly why I changed my last name to Sinclair. After twenty seconds of silence, I face him. Marcus Stein. My father. I haven’t seen him in over a decade, not since he and mom ended things off in the messiest divorce I’d ever witnessed. I still remember how distraught Carter was during that period. Terribly dark times. “Look, I know she’s crazy. I know she’s done a lot of—““Trust me, son, you don’t know half the shit your mom has done.”Gritting my teeth, I inhale slowly, counting to eight seconds before I exhale. I’m not going to sit here and pretend Cynthia Stein is an angel. She’s not. And she has proven it to me m
