When Forbidden Feels This Good CHAPTER 107: Back To Her Embrace
Scarlett’s POVThe drive to the airport was quiet in the way that only certain kinds of quiet were quiet, not the comfortable silence of two people who had nothing to say and were at peace with that, but the loaded silence of two people who had a great deal to say and had agreed, without discussing the agreement, to say none of it yet.At the airport, we moved through the private terminal with the efficiency of people who had done this before and were not in the mood for ceremony. The jet was ready. The flight attendant received us with the practised serenity of her profession and asked if we needed anything. Cade said water. I said the same. We sat in the facing seats, and the engines found their frequency, and Houston fell away beneath us, and Texas assembled itself in the distance, and the whole of it happened in a silence that neither of us broke.I tried once, somewhere over the midpoint of the journey, when the flat geometry of the land below us had settled into its familiar pat
When Forbidden Feels This Good CHAPTER 106: Damsel In Distress
Scarlett’s POVThe underground parking level of the hotel was the kind of place that existed in buildings without anyone above it knowing it was there.Low-ceilinged and dim, the concrete columns casting long shadows between the parked vehicles, the lighting was the flat, utilitarian kind that illuminated without warming and that made everything it touched look slightly more serious than it was. The smell was oil and concrete and the particular enclosed quality of air that had not moved freely in some time, cool despite the Houston heat above it, the temperature of underground spaces that existed at a remove from weather and season and the ordinary conditions of the world.It was very quiet.The kind of quiet that made sounds carry further than they should, that made footsteps echo and voices travel, and the specific sound of a gun being pressed against a person's head register with a clarity that the open air would have swallowed without a trace.I was very aware of the gun.I had be
When Forbidden Feels This Good CHAPTER 105: Over My Dead Body
Cade’s POV"Interesting threat," he said, "from a man whose pregnant girlfriend is currently in the custody of my people." He said it without heat, just observation, just the reminder of the relevant variables and their current positions. "It seems to me that you have considerably more to lose in this room than I do. So I suggest you listen carefully to what comes next."I said nothing.Because he was right about the variables, and acknowledging it was less costly than pretending otherwise.He turned slightly, the movement bringing Ezra into the sightline of both of us, the three of us forming a triangle in the flat industrial light."Ezra is my nephew," he said. "As you have now established. And he has developed, in the course of his time in Houston, a genuine interest in Scarlett." He said her name with the easy familiarity of someone who had been aware of her for longer than the last several days, the familiarity of someone for whom she was not a new variable but an existing one. "
When Forbidden Feels This Good CHAPTER 104: Devil's Net
Cade’s POVThe abandoned building had a particular quality of silence between the words.Not empty silence. The loaded kind, the kind that existed in spaces where significant things were being decided, where the air itself seemed to understand that what was being said mattered and held itself accordingly, pressing in from the walls with the patient attention of something waiting to see how this resolved.I looked at the General across the distance between us.At Ezra, standing to his right with the stillness of someone who had been given instructions about what his role in this room was and was fulfilling those instructions with the disciplined absence of a man who understood that his moment had not yet arrived.And I made a decision.Not the decision the General was expecting. The other one."Fine," I said.The word came out quiet and clear and carried in it the specific quality of a man who has finished the part of the conversation where performance was useful and has arrived at the
When Forbidden Feels This Good CHAPTER 103: Run Scarlett!
Scarlett’s POVThe tears came first. Embarrassing and unstoppable, streaming down cheeks that were still damp from the rain. I pressed my lips together, trying to hold back the words that were clawing up my throat.But they came anyway. The way things do when you've been carrying them too long."Silvio." My voice broke on the name. "He raped me, Gio.”The silence that followed was absolute.Giovanni went so still that he looked carved from the same stone as his beloved sculptures. The colour drained from his face so completely that I was afraid he was going to collapse.Then sound came out of him. French, rapid and broken, something between a prayer and a curse that I didn't fully understand but felt in my bones."When?" His voice, when it came back to English, was barely above a whisper. "When did this happen?""That same night. After you left for your doctor's appointment." I stared at my hands. "He took me to a room. There were substances. I don't remember all of it, Gio. I don't
When Forbidden Feels This Good CHAPTER 102: Something Hot!
Scarlett’s POVCade moved.His arms came around me with the steady, unhesitating warmth of someone who had been waiting for exactly this moment and was not going to miss it now that it had arrived. He pulled me against his chest, and one hand moved to the back of my head, and I let myself be held, completely, without managing it or monitoring it or performing composure for anyone's benefit.The Houston morning moved outside the windows."Your hurts are valid, my love," he said quietly into my hair. Not dismissing them. Not offering the counter-argument immediately. Just naming them first, confirming they were real, which was the thing I had needed and not known how to ask for.I breathed against his chest."But", he said, gently, "please cut her some slack." His hand moved slowly over my hair. "She is trying to navigate life also. That does not excuse the years. It does not make the absence smaller or the wedding less of a blindside. But it means she is human, and humans make choices
When Forbidden Feels This Good CHAPTER 49: Call 911!
Cade’s POV"Cade?" James's voice. "Can we talk?"Perfect fucking timing.I opened the door. My father stood there, expression neutral, but I could see the calculation behind his eyes."Madison and I need to have a private conversation," he said. "About her... situation.""There is no situation." I

Scarlett's POVThe dining room felt like a stage set for a play I hadn't rehearsed for.Crystal chandelier casting prismatic light across white linen tablecloth. Fine china that probably cost more than my entire education. Silverware arranged with the kind of precision that spoke of old money and o

Scarlett's POV"Scarlett, darling, what do you want to share with me?"Mom's smile was evergreen, perpetual, the kind that had sustained me through childhood scraped knees and high school heartbreaks. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with fingers that still wore her simple wedding band al

Scarlett's POVA billionaire.The word circled my mind like a vulture, refusing to land, refusing to make sense. I kept testing it, rolling it around in my thoughts like a stone I'd found that might be precious or might be glass.One billion, two hundred and two thousand dollars.The number was so
