Scarlett’s POV

The world was a fractured mosaic of shadows and blinding white. Through the heavy, rhythmic throb in my skull, I saw him.

Silvio Romano stood at the centre of the garden, bathed in the harsh, artificial glow of flashlight beams. His men directed the light with military precision, pinning him in the spotlight like a demonic lead on a stage. He looked exactly as he did in my nightmares: the tailored suit crisp despite the midnight humidity, every strand of dark hair slicked into pl

    Scarlett’s POV"I swear," he said, "I will cut his tongue out." His grip on my wrists tightened fractionally, not painfully, just with the increased pressure of someone whose body was expressing what their voice was trying to keep controlled. "You are mine. Mine alone. That has not changed because he showed you a rooftop and smiled at you.""You won't do anything," I said."You know me, Scarlett." His forehead dropped toward mine, not touching, just close, the proximity of something that wanted to close the distance and was holding itself at the last inch. "I don't bluff. Dare me, and I will serve you his tongue on a silver platter.""I dare you," I said."Scarlett." My name came out of him the way it sometimes did, like a sound he had not decided to make, like the word itself had escaped before he could route it through anything more controlled, a low, rough thing that came from somewhere below the anger and the jealousy and all the managed surfaces.I looked at him, at the dark eyes

  • When Forbidden Feels This Good   CHAPTER 92: Marking Me

    Scarlett’s POVCade, in a normal state of feeling, was already a significant presence in any room. Cade, with his jaw set and his eyes dark and the particular stillness of a man who has been waiting long enough that the waiting has converted itself into something considerably less patient, was something else entirely.He looked at me the way he looked at things that had caused him genuine concern, with that complete, consuming focus that left no room for anything peripheral. And underneath the concern, visible to anyone who knew how to read him, which I did, entirely and against my better interests, was something that had nothing to do with concern and everything to do with the elevator I had just stepped out of and the two hours I had spent not in this hotel room."Not now, please," I said, moving past him toward the door. "I need to shower and rest. I had a fun afternoon."He turned to follow me."Fun afternoon," he said. He said it the way he repeated things when he was working to

    Scarlett’s POV“No, I didn't tell you about Giovanni…”“What?” he giggled. “Yes, you did, when you told me about your love for art and your mentor.”“Ohh yeah… I must have skipped that.”So, I did tell him about Giovanni.About the studio with the northern light and the smell of mineral spirits. About forty years of steady hands and the particular lectures that seemed theoretical until suddenly they were the most practical things I knew. About the morning, I had successfully removed a layer of grime from a painting that had not been seen clearly in decades, the colours coming up like something being born, and Giovanni standing behind me saying nothing for a long time and then saying, quietly, Now you understand.Ezra listened the way he had listened to everything, fully and without hurry, and when I finished, he was quiet for a moment before he spoke."He sounds like the kind of person who changes the shape of how you see things," he said. "So that even after you leave, you are still

  • When Forbidden Feels This Good   CHAPTER 90: Mystery Guy!

    Scarlett’s POVI had settled on a sundress, simple and yellow, the kind of thing that required no explanation and offered none, paired with sandals and my hair down, still slightly damp at the ends from the shower. I looked like someone going for a walk. I looked like someone who had not thought too carefully about this.I had thought too carefully about this.Ezra was already there.He was leaning against one of the lobby pillars with the specific quality of ease that some people carried in their bodies naturally, not performing relaxation but actually comfortable with existing in a space, the posture of someone who had arrived and was content to wait without requiring the waiting to be anything other than what it was. He was looking at his phone, not with the anxious scrolling of someone filling time, just reading something with mild interest, and when he heard the elevator, he looked up.His face did the thing.Not elaborate. Not performed. Just a simple, genuine shift, the express

  • When Forbidden Feels This Good   CHAPTER 89: Play Date!

    Scarlett’s POVThe quiet arrived, the specific quality of a hotel room quiet when you are alone in it, different from the quiet of a room you inhabit, more complete, more enclosed, the hum of the air conditioning the only constant, steady and unhurried and entirely indifferent to the person breathing inside it.I lay back on the bed.Stared at the ceiling.The Houston afternoon pressed itself against the windows with warm, generous light, and I lay in it and tried to be a person who was content to rest, who was grateful for the stillness, who did not feel the specific restlessness that had begun building in my chest approximately four minutes after the door closed.I was not that person.I moved to the window. Stood looking at the city for a while, at the geometry of it, the towers and the roads and the small, distant movement of people going about their lives in the ordinary world far below. I thought about calling my mother back, about the voice note she had sent in reply, and picke

  • When Forbidden Feels This Good   CHAPTER 88: Emergency Call

    Scarlett’s POVThe nap was the best thing that had happened to my body in weeks.Not the deep, scheduled sleep of someone who had gone to bed at a reasonable hour with a clear conscience and nothing pressing on the other side of wakefulness. The other kind, the kind that arrived unexpectedly in the middle of the afternoon in a warm room with good linen and the solid, steady warmth of another person beside you, was the sleep that came after something that had used up everything you had and left you pleasantly empty, light and loose and thoroughly unconcerned with the world beyond the immediate square footage of the bed.I was aware of Cade beside me, the slow rise and fall of his breathing, his arm a warm weight across my waist, the particular quality of a man deeply and genuinely asleep, and all the controlled tension of him finally released into something softer. I lay in the half-world between sleep and waking and listened to the hum of the air conditioning and the distant muffled s

    Scarlett's POVThe hotel lobby was cheap and loud, the kind of place that asked no questions and accepted cash without blinking. Neon lights buzzed overhead, casting everything in sickly pink. The man behind the desk had barely looked up when I'd paid for a room, just slid a key card across the scr
