All Chapters of Secret Marriage To My Brother's Best friend : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Her cheeks flare a bright red as she dumps her purse on the counter. “I don’t know why the two of you think that you can run my life.”I sigh and walk past her, going down the hall to where I assume her bedroom is. “Since I’m guessing you don’t want me to call your brother, I’ll help you pack.”“Fine!” Cora brushes by me, giving me a sharp glare as she flicks on the lights and enters her bedroom. “One night. That’s it, and it’s just so you won’t rat me out to Jake.”I lean in the doorway as she grabs a bag from her closet. “He worries about you because you’re so stubborn. I wouldn't have known anything if I hadn’t come here tonight. But now that I’ve seen where you live, I can’t let you stay here, Cora. Jake would be mad at me if he found out I knew where you were living and didn’t do anything about it.”She whirls around, the duffle bag dangling from her hand. “You’ve been talking to my brother about me? Does he know that we’re married?”“He said you’ve been acting weird lately. He’s

CoraThe elevator music has never been more annoying than it is the following Friday morning. I’ve lived with Griffin for the last few days, but I may as well be living with a ghost.I don’t know what I expected when I agreed to stay with him, but I certainly didn’t anticipate feeling so… lonely.The elevator dings, and the doors slide open as I reach the top floor. I step out and glance toward Griffin’s office.He’s already sitting behind his desk with a highlighter in hand.It's the same thing he’s been doing for the whole week while he avoids me.Kaleigh appears in the doorway of her office, her jacket half-on and papers spilling from her hands. “I’m going to be late to court one of these days. I need a new assistant. Mine forgot to put the latest case on the calendar.”I hand her the coffee I'd bought on my way here. “Take this and try not to rush too much. It’s pouring out, and the roads are slick.”“Thanks. I don’t know how the hell I’m going to get through the day. At least it’

GriffinCora walks down the stairs the following evening, looking like something out of a wet dream. Her hair falls in long waves down her back, and her black silk dress hugs every curve of her body to perfection.I tuck my hand in my pocket, trying to adjust the bulge without her noticing.Cora smirks as she reaches the bottom step, her gaze dropping to the front of my slacks.Busted.She looks up at me with amusement shining in her eyes, the corner of her mouth still twisted upward. “You haven't told me where we were going yet.”“And I’m still not going to.” I loop my arm around her waist and lead her out to the car. “I thought it would be nice to surprise you and take over the planning for once.”Cora’s smile makes my pulse race. “Is this something I’m going to like?”“I sure hope so.” I open the car door for her. She slides in with ease, a high slit climbing up her thigh.I have no clue how I’m going to get through the evening without touching her, but I’m going to do my best.Thi

“Jake offered to handle everything, of course.” Cora’s voice is soft as she looks up at me. “He said he'd make all of it go away, and I’d be free to start over.”“Why didn’t you take him up on that? He can more than afford to pay off the debt for you.”She nods, biting her bottom lip. I put my thumb on her lip, pulling it out between her teeth. Cora looks out at the water as we head further from the marina.“Jake is used to using money to solve his problems, but there’s always a price to pay when you never actually have to deal with anything. I decided that a couple of years of hard work would be better than taking the easy way out. It was my fault for trusting the man to begin with.”It’s painful to watch her blame herself for a mess that wasn’t her fault.I squeeze her hand. “It wouldn’t be taking the easy way out. You shouldn’t be the only one dealing with the bills.”“Getting money from Victor is as hard as milking a rock. He isn’t going to give me any money to deal with any of it

CoraI always found Monday morning meetings with the department heads at the law firm were unbearably boring......Until this morning, when Griffin told me to wear a pencil skirt instead of slacks before leaving for work.Since the meeting started, his hands have been roaming all over my thighs beneath the massive stone table.He tilts his head, looking like he is the picture of innocence, as he pays attention to the profit and loss statement the CFO is presenting.Griffin’s expression is neutral as his big hand grabs the top of my thigh. I try to clamp my thighs together, but his fingers are already creeping up the slit in the side.I swallow hard and completely freeze. He keeps moving higher, even as I try to shift my body away from him without drawing too much attention to us.I breathe deeply, trying to concentrate on the meeting, but it isn’t long before my body betrays me. I can feel my nipples becoming hard and my pussy getting wet.And he’s not even near my pussy.His neutral
