She loved him her whole life. But she never saw him coming. Indie has spent years secretly in love with Braxton Fallon—her childhood friend, her anchor, the boy with the sad blue eyes who once saved her after she lost everything. To the world, they’re inseparable. To her, he’s the love she’ll never confess. Then Brax announces his engagement—to Bianca, Indie’s high school tormentor—and asks Indie to plan the wedding. Heartbroken but determined, she agrees, vowing to finally let him go. But at the Fallon lake house, Indie’s plans are shattered when she meets Slade—Brax’s arrogant, magnetic twin brother she never knew existed. Slade is infuriating. He’s reckless. He’s temptation in its most dangerous form. And he wants her with a hunger that terrifies her… because part of her wants him too. Brax is everything she’s ever loved. Slade is everything she’s ever feared—and wanted. Now Indie must choose between the safe love she’s always dreamed of… or the reckless passion that threatens to set her ablaze.

view more~~Indigo~~My alarm beeped continuously but I didn't make an effort to get up from the bed. Morning light filtered in through the blinds and I groaned, forcing myself to sit up, my hair ruffled and messy from tossing and turning overnight.Sleep hadn’t been kind — my brain had spent the entire night replaying those four lines from the mystery client’s note.Every forever deserves its colors…The blush of first glances… The ivory of promises made…The wine of love shared…What was I supposed to do with that? Paint a wall with a rainbow? Throw a party themed after a box of crayons?Forcing myself up, I shuffled to the kitchen, my limbs aching. I groaned, rubbing at my eyes as I poured steaming coffee into my favorite mug that was chipped at the edge. “Clues and fucking poetry do not go hand in hand,” I muttered, stirring in way too much sugar. “Thought this was going to be fun but it's messing me the fuck up.”Leaning against the counter, I sipped and stared blankly out of the kitchen win
~~Indigo~~The past week sucked.Seriously, there was no poetic way to say it. Just… sucked.Between Braxton’s wedding, Slade’s words, and my impulsive decision to leave, I’d spent the past few days pretending that “moving on” as I called it was easy. It wasn’t actually. It was way worse than I imagined and I spent the last two days in my apartment living on caffeine and anything that didn't require me having to get up from my couch.Today however, I knew that I needed to fully unpack and begin my daily routines. The minute I stepped in my room and looked in the corner where I kept my bags, I froze.Nothing had changed. What was I expecting? That someone would come clean up my mess? No, I seemed to have a knack for letting every single problem pile up until I had no way to get out of it. I kicked off my shoes, muttering under my breath. “Great job, Indie. New start, same chaos.”I tried unpacking — my sweaters, makeup bag, my old charger tangled around a photo frame. I set the frame d
~~Indigo~~“Uh—I—um…” My mouth opened, closed, then opened again. Nothing came out. “This isn’t—uh—what it looks like, Teresa.”Fantastic. I sounded guilty as hell.Teresa’s brows lifted, expectant as she waited for me to come up with something more plausible. Braxton shifted beside me, running a hand through his hair. “She’s right,” he said finally his voice hard. “It’s not what it looks like.”Thank God.“I just came to check on her,” he added, his tone even. “Wanted to say goodbye. We’re leaving early tomorrow, and she’ll probably still be asleep by the time we head out. Thought it would be best to just tell her goodbye before Bianca and I leave tomorrow”That caught my attention and I blinked. “Wait—what? You’re leaving tomorrow morning?”He nodded once, not meeting my gaze again. “Yeah. No point staying longer. Might as well start the honeymoon early.”I frowned, turning to look at him properly. “But you said you’d stay one more day. That was the plan.”He shrugged. “Plans change
~~Indiego~~Sleep wasn’t happening.I’d tried closing my eyes, turning over, burying myself under the covers—nothing worked. The second I did, Slade’s voice replayed in my head. His touch. His words. The way he had walked away when he thought I was uncomfortable.How the hell was I supposed to tell Emily?Something like; hey, Em, remember the guy who flirts with everything that breathes? Yeah, he might’ve had me against a wall tonight and even fingered me in a public space. Haha, would you believe how everything in my life had changed in the space of a few days?Yeah, no.I sighed, grabbing my phone instead. Maybe scrolling would help. Or maybe it wouldn't. Because soon I was staring at old photos—me and Braxton, back when things made sense. Back when one smile from him felt like the sun.A small smile tugged at my lips before I could stop it. God, I was pathetic.A knock snapped me out of it and I sighed. The wedding was over. Most guests who stayed over the night were already in the
~~Indiego~~“Slade…” The words were barely out of my lips before my back hit the wall with a silent thud and his lips were on my neckㅡ nibbling gently at the skin while his hands roamed my waist. Not moving any higher. Not moving any lower.I made my decision. I wanted this. I followed him into his room and here I was, pressed up against the cold hard wall while he pressed against me, his hard frame a sharp contrast to my much smaller one.I was mildly aware of the sound of footsteps passing the room as guests still lingered around since the reception wasn't over. I was supposed to be out there too.“Fuck…” Slade cursed, pushing himself in between my legs, the fabric of his jeans creating a sinful friction as he rubbed himself against my aching core. “Feel that?” He breathed out, his lips ghosting over my neck.I took a sharp intake of breath while I felt the tent in his pants rub against my clothed pussy. Fuck. Fuckㅡ“Please…” I moaned, tipping my head back as my fingers reached up t
~~Indiego~~Slade had left for over 30 minutes, saying he was leaving to get something and I was already getting bored out of my head.The wedding was already being rounded up and I itched to get some air, instead of forcing smiles that refused to hold up with each passing minute.I turned to leave for the bathroom when I caught Emily's gaze. My heart stuttered. She was standing a while off, her fingers toying with the pendant around her neck while she looked at me with concern.God, it felt good to see her again.She made no move to approach me so I simply smiled slightly at her before leaving for the bathroom.Walking briskly to the bathroom, I shut the door, gripping the spotless basin tightly while I tried to catch my breath. My necklace gleamed as it caught the reflection from the mirror. My face felt sunken and my chest felt hollowㅡ almost like I had lost all willpower.The door was pushed open and I startled, fear coursing through my veins for a moment before I regained some se
