All Chapters of Secrets Between Sisters: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

My heart slammed against my ribs as I slipped out the side door of the country club, the cool night air hitting my flushed skin like a slap. Marcus had gone back to the party first, like always—smooth, composed, the perfect husband. I was the one left carrying the weight of what we’d just done, his cum still slick between my thighs as I walked.The parking lot was dimly lit, rows of luxury cars gleaming under the security lights. I scanned the shadows, phone clutched tight in my sweaty palm. Ten minutes. The message said ten minutes. I was already pushing it. “Who’s there?” I called softly, voice barely above a whisper. My heels clicked too loudly on the ground. Every nerve in my body screamed to run back inside, back to the safety of lies and stolen touches. But I couldn’t. Not if this person really knew.

Evelyn’s questions in the backyard still burned in my ears. Is there something going on I should know about? I’d barely managed to deflect her before Lila dropped her little bomb about having a new boyfriend. Lila. Sweet, reckless Lila. If she only knew how complicated “boyfriends” could get in this family.I left Mom’s place as soon as I could politely escape, my mind replaying the storage room from the night before—Marcus’s hands on my body, the way he filled me so completely, the raw need that refused to die no matter how many times I told myself it was wrong. My thighs still ached faintly from how hard he’d taken me.My phone buzzed as I climbed into my car. Marcus.Marcus: Need to see you. Tonight.
