All Chapters of Forbidden: My Alpha Brother’s Obsession : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CASSIERain taps against the bedroom window when I wake up. It has been a month since Austin talked about wanting to try. To be an actual husband to me, and it’s going too well.The door opens quietly, and Austin steps in carrying a breakfast tray. On it sits a plate of eggs and toast, a cup of tea, and a single white rose in a narrow glass.My heart does a small, unexpected flip. Each day since his declaration has come with its own unique surprise, but it still leaves me speechless. He sets the tray across my lap, leans down, and brushes a kiss against my cheek.“Morning, beautiful,” he says. “Eat before it gets cold.”Without waiting for my response, he disappears into the bathroom. I hear the shower start and pick at the food, more focused on the soft sound of water than on the plate.

CASSIEI wake up to the solid warmth of Austin’s body behind me. Rain from earlier in the week has left the morning air cool, but the bed is warm.His arm is heavy around my waist, his palm spread flat against my stomach under my thin pajama top. When I shift, he makes a low sound and pulls me closer, burying his face in the curve of my neck.“Morning,” he murmurs, his voice still rough with sleep.“Morning.”Austin presses a slow kiss to the side of my throat, then another, much higher. His hand slides upward, brushing the underside of my breast through the fabric before drifting down again.When his fingers reach the waistband of my pajama shorts, he doesn’t stop. He slips inside, and his palm skates over bare skin until he cups one cheek of my ass and squee

CASSIEThe orgasm hits hard and fast, sharp enough for my head to fall back and my vision to white out for a second. The flicker inside me flares brighter, a brief, aching pulse of presence where there has been only emptiness. Then it fades again, leaving me trembling and wrecked.Shame follows immediately, more violent and complete than after the first kiss. We’re both breathing hard. I wrench away and shove Zoren hard enough that he finally steps back. My dress is disordered, and my lips swollen.Tears of fury and confusion prick my eyes. The place where his hand was under my dress still burns. Yet he stares at me like a man who has just remembered what he lost and is willing to set the world on fire to take it back.“I hate you.” The words come out shaking. “What makes you think you have any claim to me? Stay away from me, Zoren. The same way you’

CASSIEThe bedroom is still dim when the mattress shifts. I open my eyes. Austin is sitting on the edge of the bed, already dressed for work. He groans as he tries to put on his shoes, and I tense. He looks like he has been awake for a while.Is he still thinking about yesterday?“Hey,” he says quietly. “Good morning, babe. I didn’t want to wake you. Just wanted to check if you’re feeling better.”His sincerity strikes too hard. I can smell the clean scent of his soap and see the affection shining brightly in his eyes.“I am. Thanks.”“Do you think you can make it to work today?”“Yeah,” I mutter. I push myself up against the headboard, and his hand reaches out to help me. “I feel better.&rdqu

CASSIEI leave the office by one on the dot. The day’s work isn’t finished, but the thought of an empty house is more appealing than another hour of emails.The drive home is quiet. My hands stay tight on the steering wheel the entire way, with the flowers lying on the passenger seat. When I pull into the driveway, I stop short.Austin’s car is already there. He’s home early. My fingers clench around the flowers as I grab my things out of the car.Is he okay? Did anything happen?I step into the house and freeze. Austin sits on the edge of the couch, still dressed in the same outfit from this morning. His elbows dig into his knees, and his phone rests face-down on the cushion beside him.The lights are off, and the late-afternoon sun cuts across the rug in long gold lines
