A Glass Half Empty

CASSIAN'S POV I tell myself the wedding matters more—then her name echoes in my head and ruins the lie.So I pour another drink because it’s easier than admitting I fucked up.I had waited. Listened. For the sound of her heels against the floor as she walks to my door, for a knock, anything…When I heard her door open, I rose from my seat with renewed urgency.I braced for her to burst through my door with fire in her tongue.With a sinking heart, I watched her hesitate.Then she steeled herself and walked right past the door and into the elevator. I should have gone after her. Stupid.I can close billion-dollar deals without blinking, but I can’t stop one woman from walking away from me?Now I'm sitting in my chair, finger curling around the glass in my hands. I don’t throw the glass, but I want to—so I drink instead and let the burn punish me.I rise to my feet, swaying gently, and turn to the glass windows.Night has come, and the city now blinks back in a galaxy of moving light

Familiar Hands

NINA'S POVI don’t call the police, because the thief isn’t a stranger—it’s my ex.Jason has always liked keeping pieces of me. Now, he's got the whole.My chest swells with an angry sob, but I bite my lip hard, tasting metal.I had it. I had it for a whole fucking week. And I just…let it slip away.I race back into the hallway, neck turning frantically for a resemblance of him. He's gone. Just like my future.My hands tremble violently and I feel my throat clamp shut. Breathe, Nina…I can't. I stumble back into my living room and slam the door behind me, turning the lock like it could ever protect me.My body slides bonelessly to the ground, and I sit there, gaze fixed on my dark green curtains. They don't match my beige walls. Nothing matches in my life.I suck in a sharp breath.I can do this. It's Jason. We used to date. He…used to love me.He won't do this to me.A cold shiver settles in my spine, and I feel goosebumps break out on my arms.This is the part where I call Cassi

Anything But This

CASSIAN'S POV My grip tightens on her office door as I scan the purple space.No coffee mug at the table. No scent of vanilla in the air.She's late. Good. I would have hated for her to question my tardiness…or worry about me.So I shut her door and head into my office. Maybe I can get some sleep before she gets here. I could barely pry Sloane off me yesterday. She wanted to cuddle. I said no, and she didn't like that one bit.I settle into my chair with a deep sigh. If I wasn't having a meeting today, she wouldn't have let me leave. I'm not falling for her trap again. My eyelids flutter shut, but my brain thrashes theories around in my head. So much has happened, I can't even keep track.From Nina's brother poking around my company, to my father feigning ignorance, I know something's not right.It nags me that I don't even know the charges, but since Lucas hasn't reared his head again, I'll say he's trying to spook me.One wrong move, and I'll be caught in the crosshairs, ans

Tangled Loyalties

NINA'S POV I should have cleaned the blood before I walked in.I also should have locked my door, but I didn’t think that'll keep anyone out.Now I'm standing in my bedroom, wide eyed as the men I planned to hide from rush towards me.Lucas hesitates when his eyes meet mine, but Cassian brushes past, face flushed.His fingers hover at my jaw, brows furrowed. In spite of myself, I feel my stomach twist and my pulse spike. “What happened to you?” How do I fathom the words to explain that my fuckass ex now has me on a tight leash? “I fell.”He arches a brow.“You…fell.” I nod, casting a glance at Lucas. He takes a small step closer.“I fell, seriously. I went on a run and—” Cassian wraps his arms around me and pulls me into him, knocking the oxygen from my lungs.My body stiffens, unable to process this warmth. I feel his hard chest against mine, and the heavy thud of his heartbeat lulls my eyes shut.Maybe I should have called him. If he had been there, things would have been d

When Monsters Touch

CASSIAN'S POV The murder allegations don't unsettle me, but the thought of Nina looking into the abyss twists my gut.Her stubbornness is fucking hot, but right now, I ache to punch a hole in her beige wall. For a long breath, her gaze is fixed on Lucas and his smug face. Then her eyes find mine.“Cassian…do you know anything about this?” I'll be damned if I admit to anything, especially in front of her stuck-up cop brother. “Well? Say something!” Her voice is a harsh whisper, and her eyes dart to the curtains. “What do you want me to say?” My gaze slithers to her sweater sleeve. “For once, can you NOT be an asshole?” Her chest heaves, and one could swear this is the ‘murder’ scene.I don't care about that.It's a hot day. She shouldn't be wearing this. And why does she keep tugging at the sleeves?“Forget it. He's bluffing.” “Am I?” Lucas chuckles.My jaw tightens when I look at him, and my knuckles ache to crash into his smug face.He's saved by the shrill ring of my phone in

The Bouquet Trap

CASSIAN'S POV “Talk. Now. Who did this to you?” Something’s wrong, and I can feel it in every pulse of her body—but the thought of someone else touching her makes my blood boil.She snatches her wrist from my grip and tugs down her sleeve, lips pursed.“It's uh…something I got a few days ago.” “And where did you get it from? Because I don't recall seeing these…” hellish marks.“Well, you weren't looking hard enough.” No, Nina, I'm always looking. She tries to get off the table, but I'm still pinned between her legs. Her heels brush against my legs, and I try to concentrate on my anger.“I have to go.” She whispers, gaze dipping to where our bodies meet.“Not until you tell me what's going on.”Her eyes snap up to mine, heat flashing in her glare.“Need I remind you that I'm not the only one keeping secrets? YOU'RE under investigation for murder!” Her gaze darts over my shoulders.“It's not the same.” I feel my body bracing, but for what?“It's murder, Cassian. There's nothing wo

Princess in a Cage

NINA'S POV Man cave round two. The first time, I nearly died of booze and panic. Now, I’m about to die of embarrassment and possibly regret.I came here thinking I could lie my way out. Big brain, Nina. Really big brain.Silence poisons the air as we walk down the corridor and I suck in sharp breaths, preparing myself for more alone time with the one man I should avoid. His breathing is even beside me, and there's an eerie calm about him that sends bells ringing in my head.I can't run anymore. This is happening.“You okay?” he halts by the door, brows raised.I try and fail to clear my throat, and my voice comes out wobbly.“I'm fine…never better.” “Okay, princess.”My heart flutters. He hasn't called me that in a long time, and I know this can't be a weird coincidence.He presses a thumb to the scanner, and the door whooshes open, revealing more darkness.His hand rests on my back, and I feel myself go rigid with…fear? Maybe he knows I'm lying and he's going to torture me and m

My Stepbrother's Obsession

CASSIAN'S POV I shouldn’t want her like this — not when she’s trembling in my arms, but the feel of her lips crashing against mine makes me weak in the knees.I tell myself that this is a distraction, yet my hands circle her waist on instinct.“Nina…wait…” my voice trails off when her fingers fist in my hair, sending tremors up my spine.This is wrong, and not because she's my stepsister. Hell, we're way past that now.Something is wrong. I feel it in the shiver of her warm body pressed against mine, and the urgency in her kiss. I pull away with all the regret in my heart, noticing the desperate glaze of her deep hazel eyes.“Nina, stop…” “Do you want me?” She breathes, fingers now combing through my hair.“It’s not that easy…”“It's a yes or no, Cross. Do you want me?” Want? That is an understatement for this ache behind my ribs and the swell in my crotch. I want to wake up everyday beside your hazel eyes and sharp mouth. I want —no—I NEED you, Nina…“More than anything in the

The Benefit of Doubt

NINA'S POV My heart is already racing when I open my eyes, like something terrible has happened and I just haven’t remembered it yet.Except I do, and it makes me feel hollow all over again.Sunlight streams in through a gap in the curtains, and for a moment, it feels like my own bedroom.The ceiling is mine, the curtains are mine…The walls are the exact shade I chose three years ago, but the air just doesn’t feel like mine.Because this isn’t my room—it’s his version of it.But he's not in bed like he promised, so I prop myself up on my elbows and scan the room for his heated stare.I'm met with the cold silence of furniture and the faint whiff of his cologne on my robe.“Mother fucker…” my throat feels raw, but it's nothing compared to the storm raging in my head.The soft rug tickles my feet as I cross the room to the bathroom, in hopes that maybe he's in there.Again, I hit a dead end. My stomach churns, and I feel a tingle up my spine. This doesn't feel right.I wrap my robe t

Tuxedos and Ticking Bombs

NINA'S POV He's trying hard not to look at me, but the veins pulsing on his temple tells me everything I need to know. We sit silent in the backseat of his car, and for half of the drive, I catch him stealing glances at me.The thought of being a mental wrecking ball to Cassian's calm sparks a low fire in my chest, and for a moment, I forget we're driving to get him prepped for the altar.The car skids over a speed bump and our knees brush lightly, sending tremors down my spine.Stupid road. “Are you okay?” Cassian's hand brushes my arm lightly.“Yes. Why?” “You…made a noise.” His eyes settle on my face, pupils dilating.My gaze drops to my knees, and I smooth a hand over my gown. “I'm fine.”“What's on your mind?” He asks, voice low.“It has nothing to do with you.”“And everything to do with your ex? Noted.” He's baiting me, saying the right words to hit the wrong nerves, and I hate that I almost give in.“I'm not talking about this right before you get suited up to get marrie
