All Chapters of Forbidden Love with my stepbrother : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Damien's POVWalsh picked up on the first ring.She had been expecting the call. That told me she was already working it.Elara sat beside me on the couch with her legs pulled up and her eyes on the phone between us on the cushion. The apartment was quiet. The city outside doing its late Friday thing."The appeal," Elara said. "Tell us what you know."Walsh was direct the way she always was when the situation required it. Edmund Farr's legal team had filed a notice of intention to appeal within four hours of the verdict. The grounds listed were procedural. The exclusion of Doyle's testimony. The admissibility of certain financial records obtained during the investigation. The weight given to witness accounts from individuals with personal connection to the accused.That last one was ours."He is arguing that your testimony was compromised by personal bias," Walsh said. "That your relationship with Damien Blackwood created a conflict o

ELARA'S POVI went to bed first, the sheets feeling cool against my skin in the cold, until Damien followed a minute later. He turned off the lamp when he slid under the covers with me before he drew me closer so we can cuddle, his arm wrapping around my waist.The way he pulled me flush against his chest when I tried to create a bit of space between us made me giggle, his warmth surrounding me as I simply rested my head on his shoulder.I breathed the scent of him in."I like this," he said."Go to sleep," was my reply to him and he chuckled lightly, his right hand spanking me gently in the back."After you," he said.There was silence for a beat as the both of us just lay there, in each other's warm embrace, totally quiet.Sleep slowly and stealthily crept up on me, eyes closing to welcome the sweet and much needed taste of slumber.And I was almost gone, mind

DAMIEN'S POVIt was Saturday night and we had just returned from a dinner date where the food we ordered had been good and the conversation even better. I parked the car in the garage and turned off the engine, turning to her with a smile, hands on her thigh. "I had a good time tonight," I said."Me too," she replied.My fingers squeezed her thighs gently with a mischievous glint in my eyes."Naughty, naughty you," she said with a grin before she leaned in and kissed me, her lips feeling soft and warm. I moaned softly.The kiss started sweet but quickly turned hungry as her hands swiftly moved down to caress my crotch. And my cock hardened fast under her touch as a groan slipped from me into her mouth, hands reaching for her just before she pulled away suddenly from me with a playful smile on her face. "What?" I said, a little bit disoriented by her beauty and the kiss itself.But nex

Elara's POVMonday came the way Mondays did after significant weeks. Quietly and without acknowledgment of what had preceded it.I was at my desk by eight thirty. Clare arrived at eight forty five with coffee and the weekend client correspondence already sorted into two piles, things that needed a response today and things that could wait until Wednesday. Priya came in at nine with the Hale quarter review drafted and ready for my notes.I looked at both of them across the office.Six months ago I had been sitting in a hospital bed with a bullet wound watching the news. Now I was here and this was the ordinary texture of a Monday and that distance was something I did not have adequate language for so I did not try.Damien arrived at nine fifteen from a meeting with Alexander that had started early. He came in, looked at the two piles on Clare's desk, poured coffee, and sat down."Alexander signed the formal agreement this morning," he said.

DAMIEN'S POVElara dropped her cutlery suddenly and it clattered against her plate of half eaten pasta before she leaned forward across the table, staring straight at me."We need to leave now," she said.I looked at her. "Why?" I asked.She stared at me with dark eyes. "I have lost my appetite for food. What I need is your cock, and I need it now."I nearly choked on nothing."What the fuck?""Yes," she said.My brows raised with a small smile on my lips just because I sincerely thought that she was only trolling at first. "You can get better serious," I told her with a dismissive wave, cutting and then putting some steak inti my mouth.But her face stayed serious. "Damien, I am not joking," she said. "I need you to fuck me right now.Her words hit me hard alongside the hunger that I saw in her eyes that told me that she meant every word. I called for the
