Cade's POV

Someone fell on my body, and if I didn't know better, I'd have thought a building had collapsed on me.

I groaned and turned over to find Marcus standing there, grinning sheepishly.

"Wake up, old man!"

"It's seven a.m. "What the hell is so amusing this early?" I stretched and checked my phone. Not even eight yet. Thankfully, whatever had just happened in my head had only been a dream.

"Life is worth celebrating," Marcus chuckled. "But I guess you wouldn't understand that; you're const

  • When Forbidden Feels This Good   CHAPTER 121: Dinning Saga

    Cade's POVBreakfast smelled like bacon and disaster.I sat at the far end of the table with my coffee untouched in front of me, watching the steam curl off it and die, because drinking it would have required unclenching my jaw, and my jaw had decided sometime around three in the morning that it was staying clenched indefinitely.Ezra sat across from Scarlett with the easy, unhurried posture of a man who had never once in his life worried about whether he belonged in a room. He'd showered. His hair was doing that thing where it looked deliberately unstyled, which took more effort than styled hair ever did, and he was currently explaining something about soil composition to my stepmother, while she hung on every word like he was reciting scripture."....And that's the thing about Bermuda grass," Ezra was saying. "Beautiful in the summer, but it chokes out everything else if you don't manage it.""Fascinating," Rachel said, and she meant it, the traitor.I picked up my fork. Set it down

  • When Forbidden Feels This Good   CHAPTER 120: Caught in the Dark Path

    Cade's POVI paced the room, back and forth, back and forth, my bare feet dragging over the cool wooden floorboards of the boys' quarters. The place was still dim, lit only by that thin blade of moonlight slicing through the blinds and falling in pale stripes across the bed, across her legs, across the mess of sheets we'd left tangled less than an hour ago. It felt like a lifetime had passed since then. A different night. A different life.I could still see the pain in Scarlett's eyes, even in this half-dark. It sat there, raw and glistening, and it hurt me worse than the slap had. The slap I could shake off, my cheek still carrying a faint sting and warmth where her palm had connected, but this, watching her carry the weight of all of this at her age, watching her fold into herself on the floor as the world had just caved in around her, was something I didn't know how to fix. It only seemed to get worse by the hour, like a wound that refused to close, no matter how much pressure I ap

  • When Forbidden Feels This Good   CHAPTER 119: Divorce Knocking

    Scarlett's POVThe room was dark except for the thin slice of moonlight slipping through the blinds, silver stripes falling across the sheets, and somewhere outside, a lone cricket kept up its steady chirp as if it had nowhere better to be. I had my eyes closed, half asleep against Cade's shoulder, when his voice found me in the quiet."Have you thought about a name for my children yet?"His voice was the warmest thing I'd ever heard, low and rough with sleep and affection, and his hand moved in slow circles over the swell of my stomach, two heartbeats stubbornly overlapping on the monitor like they couldn't be bothered to take turns. His palm was warm, calloused from work, and it made something in my chest go soft and stupid every single time."Your children?""Yes. Why?""Nothing. It just sounded funny, that's all. Like you did all the work.""Well, get used to it." He propped himself up on one elbow, the moonlight catching that lopsided grin that had gotten me into this mess in the

  • When Forbidden Feels This Good   CHAPTER 118: Borrowed Warmth

    Scarlett's POVMy mother's voice arrived a half second before she did, bright and unaware of everything simmering beneath the surface of the evening."Ezra, my dear." She smiled at him with the easy warmth she extended to guests, oblivious to what her hospitality was actually housing. "The room is ready for you. Would you like white or red wine sent up?"Ezra rose immediately, the transformation instant and seamless, the careful, cold thing I'd glimpsed a moment ago folding itself away behind manners polished to a shine."Thank you very much, ma'am, but I'm done with alcohol for the night." He offered her a smile that looked, infuriatingly, completely sincere. "Sparkling water will be just fine. And thank you again for your hospitality. You've been more than generous.""You're more than welcome, my dear." My mother beamed at him the way she'd once beamed at me, and something in my chest twisted at the sight of it, at how easily he'd claimed a piece of her warmth that should have belon

  • When Forbidden Feels This Good   CHAPTER 5: Breaking Point

    Scarlett's POVThe silence in the house was suffocating. Every creak of the floorboards, every hum of the air conditioning, and every tick of the grandfather clock in the hallway felt like it was mocking me. I stared at Madison's text for the hundredth time, the photo burning itself into my retinas
