All Chapters of Mated to My Enemy: The Sinful Bond That Binds Us: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Sable I headed to the lake, but when I got there, nobody was around. It was empty. Why did I even come here in the first place?But then again, it wasn’t me who came here. It was my heart. And sometimes there’s no way to fight against your own heart.As I turned, I heard the sound of water, like someone was emerging from deep within.When I spun back, I saw Brant swimming toward me. He rose from the water, step by step, until he stood in front of me. Water glistened down his body, tracing the ridges of his chest and abs, sliding over the ink of his tattoos. His muscles flexed with every movement, his skin slick and glowing under the sunlight. He looked so hot I was already turned on — fucking wet just watching him.He swiped his wet hair back from his forehead, his gorgeous hazel eyes locking on mine.We stared at each other, my heart pounding wildly in my chest.Then, without warning, he grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder.“What the hell, Brant!” I squealed, thrashing against

SableWe sat in the living room. I was curled up against Joss, leaning on him as he held me close, his arm wrapped protectively around me. Across from us, Brant and Melissa sat together on the opposite sofa. Brant and I had both changed into dry clothes, though the tension between us hadn’t faded.“Okay…” Melissa clapped her hands together, her voice dripping with fake sweetness. “Brant and I are one team, and our lovely couple here,” she pointed at Joss and me “are the other team.”“What is this about?” Joss asked, absently twirling a strand of my hair between his fingers.“Well, since I can’t find Kit—”“Kit’s in the basement,” Brant interrupted flatly. “Playing his guitar.”Melissa gave a little shrug. “Well, we can’t distract him, right?”“Just get on with it,” Brant muttered, sounding irritated already.Melissa ignored him and continued, her grin widening. “We’re going to ask questions to see how much we know about each other. If you get it wrong, you lose a point. If you get it

SableI woke up later in the evening. Joss was still sleeping, his breathing deep and steady, his arm heavy across my waist. I carefully slipped out of the bed, got dressed, and stepped out of the bedroom. The house was quiet, shadows stretching across the wooden walls as the last of the daylight bled through the windows.I wandered through the cabin, letting my eyes sweep over the rustic décor. As I explored, I noticed a narrow staircase leading down to the basement. Curiosity tugged at me, and I followed it, the wooden steps creaking under my feet. A low sound drifted upward — soft guitar strings.When I reached the bottom, I saw Kit sitting on a bed tucked under the staircase, his guitar balanced on his thigh, his eyes closed as his fingers moved across the strings. He was lost in the music, face relaxed in concentration, playing from somewhere deep inside himself.I smiled softly as I watched him. One day, I thought, he’s going to be an incredible musician.He let the last note fa

SableWe all sat down to dinner, everyone happy and relaxed, when Rhett suddenly asked, “Where is Melissa?”“I forgot to tell you. She left with her luggage. She was sad, even crying and cursing under her breath. She told me to tell Brant to go to… hell,” Marirose said.“She’ll be the one going there, because I didn’t throw her out,” Brant replied.I almost burst out laughing, but I held it in, keeping a straight face. Melissa leaving, paired with Brant’s reply, nearly broke me.“Why would she say that then?” Rhett asked.“I told her she couldn’t come into my room anymore, because our relationship has been over for a long time. Fuck it… I told her she could stay if she wanted, but my room was off limits to her,” Brant said.“I’m sorry, son, but Melissa came here to make the family happy. She even picked out a movie for tonight. She’s trying to make you happy too,” Dani said gently. “And besides, what’s so wrong with Melissa? I think you two match each other’s energy… in marriage, in l

SableEver since we returned to the mansion, I’ve been trying to find the perfect time to break up with Joss. It’s so fucking hard. Every time I try, something happens — he has to leave for work, or someone calls him. And worse, even when I have the chance, I don’t know what to say or how to go about it. I can’t exactly tell him the truth: that I want to break up because I’m helplessly into his brother.When Joss left for work one morning, I headed downstairs and found Marirose in the kitchen, studying a piece of paper.“Hey, Rosie,” I said.“Hey, Sable,” she replied, still engrossed in the paper until she looked up at me. Then she smiled before going back to it. “So, what’s up, girl?”“I’ve got nothing to do. Why don’t we do something together — like some self-care, a spa day, shopping, or even just pampering ourselves a little?” I suggested.She lifted the paper for me to see. “I actually need to do some grocery shopping. Unless… you want to come with me?”“Yeah, sure,” I agreed.We
