All Chapters of Cuffed By My Brother-in-Law: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

ValenThe shock on her face stirred a quiet satisfaction within me. Perhaps this little game between us would prove far more entertaining than I had anticipated.“I... I didn't...” she tried again, her fingers tangling in her hair.I had noticed she always did that whenever she was nervous.“I thought you didn't want to. Besides, you made it very clear you weren't here for this.” I said, “Or did I misread the situation?” I took a step to her, not too close to feel her body warmth, but enough to make her uneasy. My gaze swept over her flushed face. The tension that had consumed her moments ago was still there, lingering beneath her skin.“I’m not a pervert you know,” I muttered, a small smile on my lips. Her eyes widened instantly. Good.“You were clear about what you wanted.” I shrugged. “And I respect that.”“You…did you… did that on purpose,” She whispered. I saw anger flash across her face, and I knew it might be for me, most of it was directed at herself for letting me go this f

CalitheaShe quickly closed the distance between us.“What are you doing here? I thought you'd stopped this?” I asked, bewildered.Then again, I shouldn't have been that surprised. Mira had practically led the pack's notorious warrior-peeping adventures as a teenager, and it had nearly landed her in serious trouble more than once.“I have,” she mumbled, clearly unhappy about being caught red-handed. “I was just trying to get Reeds’ attention, that's all.” Her voice carried a softness I barely recognized. It sounded nothing like the Mira I'd known all these years.“Mira... what has gotten into you?” I tried pulling her away, but she resisted. “We need to leave before they notice us.” “I came here to see him.” I facepalmed myself, not believing the girl in front of me was my friend. It was like someone had swapped my best friend for a stranger.And somehow, it all traced back to Reeds.“We will leave once I see him.” She pulled me along to the corner where she had been peeping at the

Valen“They work under me, and it’s natural to care for them .” The fast explanation slipped past my lips. Even to my own ears, the excuse was lame. “So where is the gathering taking place,” I insisted, feeling apprehensive.Liam stared at me, his eyes undecided whether to tell me or not, “If you are that curious, follow me.” He made a move with his hand, and began to walk. Cocky bastard.With no better option, I followed him silently. We crossed several hallways before taking a narrow path that led away from the main quarters. The farther we walked, the quieter the pack house became. My eyes were sharp as I scanned the surroundings. Eventually, an old stone building emerged from the darkness.I immediately recognized it. The former banquet hall lay ahead of us. It had been abandoned decades ago after the new hall was built. "Why here?" I asked, my gaze on the building, I could hear faint sounds coming from within."Keep your voice down." Liam hushed me, his eyes sweeping sideways

CalitheaA soft laugh escaped his lips. "Trying to challenge me, huh little ember?"His words and nickname irritated me more than it should have.Before he could continue, I took matters into my own hands, I looped my arms around his neck, angled my head, and slammed my lips to his without a care in the world. The kiss was supposed to be slow and savory, just a hint of what I wanted from him, but it instantly spiraled into something that caught me off guard.He tried to push me away, but I held on, my hands refusing to unclasp from his neck. After a moment of resistance, he finally eased back into the kiss, and a silent sigh of triumph escaped me lips.My hands prowled up from his shoulders to his jaw, caressing his stubble with a soft, teasing touch.His mouth followed a scorching trail downward to my chest, but suddenly he halted and met my eyes again. “What do we call this between us? Because I won’t fuck you again just to let you go,” he said with fierce conviction. But my atten

CalitheaIt felt as though the world around me vanished as her words sank in.I hadn't stolen anything from Valen's room, but I did have something that belonged to him. The ring. A curse rose in my throat, but I held it in.I should have known Alice would say something to Zirelle. All this time, I had foolishly convinced myself she had forgotten about the ring after that day. Clearly, I had been wrong."I don't know if it's true or not," Betty continued carefully. "You don't seem like someone who would do something reckless after working here for so many years. But if it's true, return whatever it is before you're caught."Her eyes remained wary as it stared at me, but beneath that caution was her genuine concern. After all, she had already experienced Zirelle's cruelty firsthand, and knew what it also felt like. She had every reason to stay out of it, yet here she was, warning me. "Thank you," I muttered.The smile I offered was tight and forced, and judging from the look she gave
