When Forbidden Feels This Good CHAPTER 111: He Stays!
Scarlett’s POVThat was the infuriating thing. He was genuinely, effortlessly good at it, and my mother was responding to him the way she responded to people she had immediately classified as worth knowing, with the full, open warmth of a woman who liked people and was not cautious about showing it.Every few minutes she would look at me with an expression that said, see, isn't this nice.Every few minutes I looked at my cake.Madison had begun making small contributions to the conversation, the specific contributions of someone inserting themselves into an exchange they were not part of in order to assess a new variable, her questions slightly sharper than my mother's, aimed at specific edges rather than the generous middle.Ezra handled her questions with the same ease.James remained largely quiet.And I sat in the armchair and smiled when smiling was required and responded when responses were unavoidable and watched the man who had saved me from a gun in an underground parking lev
When Forbidden Feels This Good CHAPTER 110: Q&A
Scarlett’s POVThe flowers were wildflowers.That was the first thing I noticed, standing in the sitting room with my coffee going cold in my hands and my heart doing something irregular in my chest. Not the arranged, predictable kind that came from a florist with their stems cut to identical lengths and their colours selected for maximum inoffensiveness. These were the kind that grew in fields without permission, in colours that did not coordinate so much as argue beautifully with each other, amber and deep violet and a particular warm gold that caught the afternoon light coming through the sitting room windows and held it.Someone had thought about those flowers.Someone had known that generic roses would not land correctly, that the person receiving them would notice the difference between chosen and purchased, between an arrangement that communicated I considered you and one that communicated I completed a task.I noticed the difference.I was furious at myself for noticing."Scar
When Forbidden Feels This Good CHAPTER 109: Role play
Cade’s POVScarlett, who had been sitting in the armchair near the window with her feet tucked under her and her own coffee in both hands and her eyes directed at the middle distance with the practised quality of someone maintaining a neutral expression in a room full of people watching for cracks in it, turned her head toward the entrance hall.I watched her face.Watched the information arrive in it, the name, the word boyfriend, the fact of his presence at the door of the Blackwood estate on the day after Houston, and watched her run it through whatever she was running it through with the rapid, visible quality of a very intelligent person receiving a surprise and processing it faster than surprise usually allowed.Her eyes found mine.The look lasted two seconds.In those two seconds she communicated, without words, without any of the social signals that the others in the room might have read, a question so direct and so specific that it required no translation.Did you know he wa
When Forbidden Feels This Good CHAPTER 108: Scarlett’s Boyfriend
Cade’s POV Sleep had not been something I had managed with any particular success.I had lain in the west wing bedroom with the ceiling above me and the house quiet around me and my mind doing what my mind did when it had significant material to process and had not been given adequate time or space to process it, which was to run the material repeatedly, from different angles, at different speeds, looking for the version of the picture that made complete sense and finding, each time, that the picture had too many pieces still missing for sense to be achievable.The General's conditions.Ezra's face when those conditions were being stated.The specific quality of over my dead body as a position, which was honest and absolute and which I had meant entirely, and which was also, I had understood in the hours since, not the end of the conversation but the beginning of a different one, a longer and more complicated one that I had not yet had with the person it most directly concerned.This
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 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 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 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 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
