After the movie, which I clearly don't remember, we decided to have lunch, though it was already past two.

​We ate a late lunch at a quiet, glass-walled bistro overlooking the river. Adrian ordered for both of us—light, delicate dishes that wouldn't upset my stomach—and spent the hour keeping the conversation effortless.

He asked about my favorite books, shared a few harmless and funny stories from his own college days, and made sure my water glass was never empty.

  • Stop Appearing In My Dreams, Brother-In-Law   Is it Your Safe Day?

    ​Adrian turned off the tablet, setting it on the nightstand, his full attention locking onto her.​"I had told myself not to think of you, not to look at you, or even love you," Lisa continued, stopping just inches away from him. The scent of his skin was overwhelming, dizzying. "But then I ended up in your bed. The same bed you share with my sister. I was so freaked out. But now..." She swallowed hard, her eyes fierce. "I don't care anymore."​She reached out, her trembling hand dropping onto his broad, solid shoulder.​"Lisa?" Adrian murmured, his voice a perfect blend of hesitant, brotherly caution.​"You may hate me," she said, leaning down, getting closer and closer until her trembling breath fanned across his lips. "But I just... I want to feel it. I want to feel your arms, your warmth... everything I've ever dreamed about."​"But Lisa... we can't cross that line," Adrian said, his voice dropping an octave, a subtle tightness in his jaw.​"Why not?" she asked, her voice dropping

  • Stop Appearing In My Dreams, Brother-In-Law   She Doesn't Have To Get Hurt

    ​When Adrian finally had his fill of her lips, he pulled back slowly. His thumbs lingered on her jawline, his dark eyes wide with a masterpiece of simulated, heavy conflict.​"Lisa... I didn't know you felt this way about me," he murmured, his voice low, breathing heavily as if wrestling with his own conscience. "But this is wrong. I'm your sister's husband. I don't know if—"​"Please, don't say anything," Lisa interrupted, her voice cracking with a desperate plea. She leaned right back into his space, her eyes fiercely searching his face, completely unmoored by the sudden distance. She couldn't let him reject her now; she had already thrown her soul away. "I'm not asking you to do anything. I'm not asking you to love me, but can you at least..."​She lunged forward again, catching his lips in another frantic, breathless kiss. She broke away just enough to whisper against his mouth, her fingers gripping his lapels. "Please, just hold me. Just for now. Don't blame me... I know I'm doi

  • Stop Appearing In My Dreams, Brother-In-Law   Lisa Broke

    The drive back to the house passed in a heavy, suffocating silence. Lisa sat pinned against the passenger door, her forehead resting against the cold glass as her frantic breathing slowly leveled out into a dull, exhausted ache. Every time her eyes drifted toward the center console, she saw his large, steady hand resting on the gear shift. The scent of his cologne hung thick in the air, a physical reminder of the breakdown she had just suffered in his arms.​When the sedan finally crunched onto the gravel driveway, the house was dark. Elena's car was conspicuously missing from its usual spot.​Adrian killed the engine. The sudden silence inside the vehicle was deafening. Without a word, he stepped out, and Lisa followed him like a shadow, her legs feeling entirely like lead as she crossed the threshold into the quiet foyer.​But the moment the front door clicked shut behind them, the atmosphere shifted instantly.​Adrian paused, his head tilting slightly as his eyes scanned the empty

  • Stop Appearing In My Dreams, Brother-In-Law   Always Yours

    Adrian pressed his hand a little firmer against her arm, his dark eyes gleefully drinking in the frantic rise and fall of her chest, waiting for the final fracture that would bring her completely to her knees."I... I... I can't," she stuttered, her voice cracking into a helpless, broken sob.​Her body was trembling so violently that her breath came in short, jagged gasps. The walls of her resistance were thoroughly collapsing, piece by agonizing piece.​Adrian reached out, his hand warm and steady against her flushed skin. His long fingers gently cupped her jaw, his touch firm enough to leave no room for escape as he turned her head away from the window, forcing her to look straight into his face.​"Trust me and lean on me, Lisa," he murmured, his dark eyes wide with a simulated, agonizing concern that felt entirely real to her.​Lisa stared back at him through a thick, blurred veil of hot tears. A profound, suffocating misery wrapped around her throat, squeezing tight. It was a sic

    ​Before Lisa could even respond, Allan turned on his heel and walked briskly toward his car. The door slammed shut, the engine roared to life, and within seconds, his car was speeding out of the hotel parking lot, leaving nothing but a faint trail of exhaust behind.​The sudden silence left in his wake was suffocating.​Lisa stood frozen, the sweet, floral perfume Elena had sprayed on her collarbone now making her feel physically sick. Her shoulders trembled violently. She couldn't look at Adrian. She kept her eyes glued to the pavement, her heart drumming a frantic, agonizing rhythm against her ribs.​"In the car. Now," Adrian commanded.​His voice wasn't loud, but the gravelly, unyielding tone left her with absolutely no choice. Lisa swallowed down a pathetic sob and moved like a ghost, walking over to the passenger side of his black sedan. Her fingers shook so badly she could barely pull the handle open. She slid into the leather seat, the expensive, rich scent of his car immedia

    ​"Adrian!"​Lisa’s shoulders trembled violently, her hands clutched into tight fists at her sides. It was the first time she had ever raised her voice to him—the first time she had ever dared to shatter the dynamic of the fragile, devoted brother-in-law who had done nothing but protect her. Her lower lip was clamped so hard between her teeth she was certain it would bleed.​The weight of the situation was crushing her from the inside out. This was all her fault. She was the one who had made the reckless gamble at the cafe; she was the one who had brought a decent, innocent man into the middle of the dark, twisted rot festering inside her head. But beneath the suffocating layer of panic and shame, a cold, sharp realization suddenly pierced through the fog of her mind.​The hotel visit hadn't been planned. It wasn't a reservation made days in advance. It was a chaotic, last-minute decision born out of her own frantic desperation just thirty minutes ago.​Lisa stared at the broad, imp

  • Stop Appearing In My Dreams, Brother-In-Law   Why is he such a gentleman?

    When we got back to the house I grabbed my bag from the backseat and mumbled something about psychology articles I needed to catch up on before classes resumed and headed straight for the stairs before he could respond. I needed the walls of my room around me. I needed to sit somewhere that wasn't

    The restaurant was on the top floor of a building just off the main road, all warm lighting and dark wood and quiet. I like quiet places. The hostess led us to a table by the window and I was glad, genuinely glad, that there was no one else seated up here yet. It was just us and the grey city spr

    Somewhere between that not so special Tuesday and now, I had told him things I hadn't planned to tell anyone, including about the dreams, which I immediately regretted every single time but still told him about again the next time anyway.I mean, I would love to take those tales to my grave but I n
