My Stepbrother's Lust
“Fuck…please…”
He risks a nibble, sending shockwaves to my core. My back arches off the wall with a sharp moan.
His hand slides between my legs, cupping my soaking panties.
“Look how wet you are,” he whispers, “...shaking, and I haven’t even fucked you yet.”
He strokes my clit gently first, then harder. My toes curl, hair spilling into my sweaty face.
He’s breaking me, ruining me with just his tongue and fingers. I can’t speak. I can’t think. I just tremble in his arms.
*********
The night I caught my fiancé cheating, something in me broke.
I cried.
I screamed.
I drove — into the rain, into nowhere, into him.
Cassian Cross.
A stranger with gray eyes, a sinful mouth, and hands that made me forget my name.
One night was all it took. One reckless mistake to burn away my heartbreak.
Until he showed up at my mom’s wedding…
As my new stepbrother.
Now, Cassian won’t stop.
He corners me in hallways, whispers filth at the altar, and looks at me like he still owns my body.
But there’s one thing he didn’t tell me—
He already belongs to someone else.
A fiancée bound to him by a contract… and a secret that could destroy us both.
He’s dangerous.
He’s forbidden.
He’s promised to another.
And God help me, I still can’t stop wanting him.

Chapter: The ReunionCASSIAN'S POV I open the curtain.Nothing.I let it fall shut, count to three, and open it again.Still nothing.Rain drones steadily on the ceiling and slicks the street outside, swallowing the few faces huddling past in umbrellas before I can properly see them, but I keep looking anyway.Because somewhere beyond that window is Nina—the only thing left in my life that isn't a lie.Everything else had unraveled in a single morning.My mother never abandoned me.She was murdered.I didn't spend fifteen years hating a woman who stopped loving me.I spent fifteen years loving the man who killed her. Trying to make him love me, to see me as the perfect son. The perfect fall guy. Bullshit.The curtain slips through my fingers.Then, almost violently, I wrench it open again.Nothing.No hazel eyes, no impatient stride, no wild curls bouncing against her shoulders and sticking to her oval face. Just strangers.More strangers.I don't even realize I'm pacing until Lucas tells me to stop we

Chapter: Forty MinutesNINA'S POV Forty-nine hours and seven minutes.Not that I was counting or anything.Okay, fine. I was counting. But it's all I can do now…count. Every second, every dead end, every useless lead that dissolved in my hands until I felt like a fish tossed into the wrong ocean—unable to swim forward, unable to swim back, just stuck there with panic clawing through my gills.I watch the rain droning lazily against the window glass in Axel's living room, knees pressing tight against my chest to stop my heart from bursting right through. Forty nine hours since I saw him, and everything in me feels like it's crumbling. Twenty four hours since I saw the news, and I still haven't found him.How desperate I must have looked—peering into coffee shops as if Cassian will ever be found there, or at bus stations. I went to the airport. I stood around checking flights in a blue onesie, nibbling on my nails like a maniac. As if the humiliation wasn't enough for me, I…god…I went to the office. I wen

Chapter: She Never LeftCASSIAN'S POV I wake up angry—at Lucas, at myself, at the ancient mattress digging into my spine, at the violent thrashing in my chest that keeps repeating the same sentence over and over again.Your mother is dead, Cross.Bullshit.None of that is real, but what is real is the throbbing at my side—like someone has shoved a red hot poker into my ribs and left it there. The room is dark and it smells like a wilted plant in here, but I keep my gaze on the ceiling, blinking through the throbbing that intensified with every breath. He shot me. He accused me of murdering mom, and put a bullet in my side for good measure. I still remember the echo of the gunshot, the fire burning into my flesh, the stickiness that spread even as my grip on his collar stayed firm.We had crumpled to the ground together, gun still pressed to my side, and as the light faded from my eyes, I thought that I had died, that Nina would never know how much any of this meant, and I waited for the last seven minute

Chapter: He Chose...Me?NINA'S POV The first thing I notice when I open my eyes is that the bed is round.The second is that it definitely isn't mine. I've never slept in anything this expensive. Not until Cassian, and…oh.A headache seizes my temples at the mere thought of Axel's name, and just like that, the memories slam right through the doors in my head.With the memories comes nausea—it shoots up my throat, and I clamp a hand over my mouth, searching for a door to the bathroom, or an exit. Something.A pearly white door sits in the corner, and I don't think. Not with the sour heat clawing its way up my throat. I push the door open, gaze falling on the porcelain toilet. Fuck yes. My knees crumble to the ground as I fist my hair with my right hand and retch into the seat, eyes shut tight as I wish the thoughts into the wind. But they stay like fucking ticks, sucking my sanity even as I push off the toilet seat and flush. I tell myself that I won't stop by the mirror and stare at the monstrosity that

Chapter: The Cross ExaminationCASSIAN'S POV I always imagined that surrender would feel noble.Turns out it mostly feels like standing in the rain while your stepsister's homicidal brother points a gun at your chest.If Nina could see me now, she'd probably call me an idiot. The worst part is that she'd be right.But did I step forward anyway? You already know the answer. I still feel his gun aimed at my chest as I walk up to the porch. It creaks under my weight, but he doesn't flinch, just stays shrouded in the darkness, gun muzzle gleaming in the faint golden light. “Move.” I release a breath and step into the golden light, eyes roaming over the very, very small apartment. The heater must be cranked high enough. That's the only explanation for the heat climbing up my back as I hear the door shut behind me, locking in the silence that stretched like a band.The apartment is rather empty, save for the small television propped in front of a peeling blue couch that I won't sit on even if he presses the gun int

Chapter: The Last Thing I HaveCASSIAN'S POV Forty-three minutes ago, I walked away from my father, my marriage, and my inheritance. Now I’m sitting in the police station parking lot wondering if I was about to lose Nina too.It's all gone now—the ring, the company, my father… Yet somehow, sitting alone in the rain, she is still everywhere, punishing my lungs with her vanilla scent.I fear that if I breathe too hard, I might exhaust her presence, might lose everything I should spend years savoring. So I hold my breath. I do it until my lungs ache just like the rest of me, until time melts into her essence, and I find myself reaching for my phone, itching like crazy for the sound of her voice.Has she already gone too far? Was it so easy to leave me here? To not turn back until this is all that's left of her? I should have thought this through. I should have asked for a location…just this once…But this pain is for the best. It has to be. Still, I unlock my phone fourteen times before I realise that I'm staring

After Rebirth, I Married My Ex-husband's Enemy
Calista Winslow died at the hands of the two people she trusted most—her husband, and her twin sister.
But death wasn’t the end.
She wakes up four years in the past, with every betrayal carved into her memory and one burning goal in her heart—
Revenge.
This time, she won’t be the obedient wife or the forgotten daughter. This time, she’ll be the one who destroys everything.
Her first move?
Divorcing her husband before he can destroy her, and turning to the one man powerful enough to stand against him.
Atlas Kane.
Dangerous, calculated, and unforgiving, Calista knew he was never meant to be more than a weapon.
But some things don’t stay buried—not the past… and not the feelings she thought were long gone.
Because just like fate can give a second chance at life, maybe, just maybe, love can burn from its embers too.
And while Calista is certain of the betrayal that killed her, there is one truth she cannot fully remember— the night her father died.
The past her family blames her for. A memory that refuses to stay whole.
But the closer she gets to revenge, the clearer it becomes— some truths were never meant to stay hidden.
And in this lifetime, losing her heart might be just as dangerous as losing her life.

Chapter: What They Did to Me**ATLAS**I could not decide which weighed heavier on my chest—the numbness creeping through every wound on my body, or the quiet sound of Ledger drawing breath behind me.Calista had refused to let me put him in the boot. She had looked at me like I had lost my damn mind, and perhaps I had. But it did not matter now. None of it mattered. Calista was breathing beside me, soft and steady, and it was enough to keep me going, just the sound of it.The moment the car cruised to a halt in my driveway, she got out on the other end and yanked open the backseat door.Damnit, woman, slow down…I heaved a breath as my body peeled off the leather and a sharp sting rocked my back, but my feet found the stone floor and I moved around the hood and found Calista's lips pursed in deep concentration as she half dragged Ledger's pale body from the seat. She staggered back, and I thrust out my arm.“Easy…let me do it.”She grunted in response and tugged again.“Calista…”“I know, I know…” her breath h

Chapter: The Gamble**ATLAS**I never flinched when I saw the gun. Lily was left handed, finger already on the trigger.Too far to disarm.Calista was standing behind my right shoulder.If she fired center mass, I would fall backwards onto her.I kept her behind me, telling myself that if she was still alive, that was more than enough for now.“Going somewhere, dear?” My mother's voice cut through my mind. I turned my neck to find her hand still firm on Ledger's shoulder. His lips had turned a bluish purple, and it dawned on me just how much was at stake.“I did not put it past you to have a backup plan, but this?” I waved a hand, turning my glare to Lily's form, “... this is just pathetic.”“Whatever gets the job done, love. Kill them.” She nodded to Lily, voice sounding almost bored.My body tensed as Lily stepped forward, but I did not move back, did not give her the satisfaction of watching me cower like an animal. I stared into her dark grey pools, but I was not searching for the woman I used to

Chapter: His Choice**CALISTA**The pole was the only thing keeping me upright. My wrists burned against the ropes binding them behind the cold metal, legs trembling beneath my own weight as my body sagged forward. A violent shiver tore through me, forcing my teeth into my bleeding lip just to keep them from chattering.I had stopped praying for rescue.Now I was only praying for the courage not to break. My lungs felt as if someone had reached into my chest and grabbed hold of them, squeezing tight without mercy. Nausea clawed at my throat, but I clenched my stomach and tried to keep my eyes open, to not feel the goosebumps crawling over my skin.My scalp still burned from Lily's vicious grip, but I lifted my head up as a tear snuck its way down my cheek.Nobody was coming to save me. Too much time had passed since I saw Atlas, since he cradled me in his arms like he was scared to break me.Now my body itched for the warmth of his hard chest, his hairy hands cradling me deeper into his embrace. God…

Chapter: Would You Rather?**ATLAS**My mother used to measure my height against the kitchen doorframe, beaming with pride every time I outgrew the pencil mark she had made the year before. Standing before me now, wearing that same smile as she admired the chains biting into my wrists, I found myself wondering whether people truly rotted from the inside—or whether they simply woke up one morning and decided to bury whatever was left of their hearts.For my mother, it must have been the latter. And sitting in this chair, I found it almost ironic that I had run so far from this place only to be dragged right back in chains. Maybe we never really outrun our demons. We just ran in circles around them until they reached out to grab us. But my bones had grown weary from running, with every word Ledger said still clouding my mind even as his face paled and the smell of his blood hung in the air. I did not flinch under her stare, meeting it with all the anger that I could muster. “Do you ever get tired of playing

Chapter: Last Resort**CALISTA**My mouth felt like someone had stuffed it with cotton and left it out in the sun.I swallowed and immediately regretted it, feeling a sharp pain blooming behind my eyes—the kind that came after too much alcohol, too little sleep, or a tranquilizer dart fired into your arm by your fiancé's psychotic ex fiancée.For a moment, I lay perfectly still, waiting for my wrists to burn, waiting for the ropes, the cuffs, the chains…anything.Instead, when my hand drifted sluggishly toward my face, my fingers brushed my cheek without resistance.I froze.Then I moved again, slowly and carefully lifting my left hand, then my right. Free.Free?A knot tightened in my stomach. If the Martyrs wanted me restrained, I would be restrained, which meant they had chosen not to tie me up.And somehow, that felt much worse, and I found myself longing for the chains and the certainty of death. But it was not even my freedom that sent my pulse racing. It was the complete absence of blood on my ha

Chapter: Dead to Me**ATLAS**I had spent so much time wishing for unconsciousness that I almost resented it for never staying.The first thing I noticed was that the pain never faded away. The second was that I was still unclad, save for my underwear. If I was grateful for anything, it was that my hand no longer hung above my head in chains—instead they rested on the metal armrests The darkness came and went, and every time consciousness dragged me back to the surface, I was reminded of the stinging at my back, my throbbing side, the metallic taste of my own blood…and the deep breathing of a man fighting to stay alive. I could not see him, but I could hear him—every ragged breath, every shift of his chains, every reminder that my last conversation with the woman who birthed me would not stay buried. Every time the darkness dragged me under, Ledger’s breathing dragged me back into the silence— so rough, so uneven, so…painfully human.

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY SIX: The Breaking Point Julian adjusts the cuff of his shirt, uneasy.He stands at the head of the conference table, Adele by his side in a crimson suit and pants. Julian's voice rings out, calm and commanding. "Our quarterly projections show a potential increase in stakeholder trust, provided we maintain our momentum in Southeast Asia. The Madrid deal is still being reviewed—"At the end of the table, Alex’s phone buzzes.At first, he ignores it. Then it buzzes again. And again. Julian nods and waves him off.Alex smiles and unlocks it. He frowns, glances at the screen, then goes still.His fingers begin to move swiftly. A second later, he looks up. His face is pale."Check Tiff’s blog," he says quietly. Loud enough for those around the table to hear.A ripple passes through the room.Phones light up. Screens open. Jaws drop.Julian's brow furrows. He glances at Alex, then slowly picks up his own phone.Silence settles like a fog.Then come the murmurs. Staggered gasps. A chair scrapes against the marble

Silence echoes through the walls.He rings again. Deja vu crawls up his spine. Celeste had rented this place right after their legal separation. The last time he rang this doorbell, she threatened to file a restraining order. He only wanted to talk to her…find out why she betrayed him.She didn't just break their marriage. She broke him. Left him empty and gasping for air.Nothing has changed around here but him. He's not here to beg.He rings the doorbell again. Hears the frantic click of heels on the marble floor. The front door swings open—Their eyes meet. She gasps. Doubles back. Julian doesn't move. She recovers quickly and blinks at him.“You could have called or something. But I suppose you like drama.” A pause. Silence hangs between them. “Wanna come in?” She mimics a sultry voice, stepping aside. He stares at her, gritting his teeth. She’s all dressed
