She pauses for a moment, clearly hesitant to continue. “I’m thinking of not talking any further,” she says.

I give her a cold glare, which makes me bite my inner cheek. I love a good story.

Zoey finally looks up, “we can’t be together because he’s my stepbrother.”

I’m taken aback. “Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry. That must be incredibly painful.”

Zoey nods. “Yeah, it’s been tough. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. It’s like every time we get close, reality pulls us apart.”

“I can’t imagine how hard that must be, but it’s clear you both care about each other. Sometimes, life just throws these curveballs.”

“Yes, it is,” Zoey agrees. “I can feel that pull whenever we’re together. There’s something that always draws me to him, but then I remember he’s my stepbrother, and everything just falls apart.”

“Tell me about it,” I say, genuinely interested.

“I’ve consulted books and searched online to see if anyone has ever given in to such a love,” she explains.

    Sydney rushes into the bathroom, her face pale. "Nadine, what’s happening?" she asks, with a trembling voice.I point to the bloodstain on my pants. "I don’t know, Syd. I thought it was just normal cramps, but now... I don’t know.""Oh my gosh, Nadine, this doesn't look good. We need to get to the hospital now," she says urgently. She hurried back to my room, grabbing the dress I had taken off.She hands it to me. "Okay, Nadine, put this on," she instructs."Okay, thanks," I reply, trying to get dressed despite my shaky hands. Panic grips me, something I never anticipated with my pregnancy. All my antenatal visits had been reassuring, but now, with everything seeming off, I wonder why.I’ve been feeling cramps in my lower abdomen, but I didn’t expect them to result in blood. I had dismissed it, thinking it was just the baby growing and adjusting.All I can do is hope that this is just a scare and that my baby is still safe. I need to believe that. I have to.“Hurry!” Sydney’s voice jo

    Ethan, the doctor, stretches his hand to shake him. I roll my eyes because he is famous, and his family owns half of the city.“How is she, Doctor?” Ethan asks in a panic. I just stand by, watching him take over. He looks more worried than me. I admire the way he cares about Nadine; sometimes, I wonder if Mason could be as expressive as this.The thought of Mason crosses my mind, and I wonder why he hasn't reached out. What I feel for Mason can’t be love, not now, not ever.It sucks seeing the way Ethan pines for Nadine, but I’m sure her heart still belongs to that cold-blooded Logan. I don’t blame her because love can be funny.“We’ve run some tests,” the doctor says. “The bleeding is due to a minor cervical issue. We’ll need to monitor her for the next few hours to ensure everything stabilizes.”“Thank you, doctor. Can we see her now?” I ask, pointing toward the door.“Of course,” he replies, giving Ethan a reassuring pat on the back before walking away.Ethan and I sigh in relief

    I breathe out his name, "Logan," and slowly close my eyes tight, trying to ignore the pains shooting all over my body from the contractions. Is this just a dream that I'll wake up from soon, or a flash of memories? Memories of our time together flooded my mind - the good, the bad, the ugly, and the look of contempt on his face when he saw the picture of me and Asher, a lie that changed everything. I remember the look on his face when he sent me away from the house.I wish more than anything that this is just an illusion, a trick my mind is playing on me. I've thought about him so much, wondering how things would be different if he hadn't seen that picture and sent me away. I wish that when I open my eyes, I'll realize it was all just a product of my mind, a cruel trick played on my heart.I feel a contraction coming on, and I grit my teeth, trying to breathe through the pain.My heart pounds in my chest, pain shooting through my body like wildfire.

Damn you Logan, I think, as he's consumed my thoughts.

"I'm sorry, Nadine. I have to go," he says. I nod, relieved he hasn't sensed the change in my demeanor.

    He moves his hand down, sliding my pants aside, and finds my clit with his fingers. I shudder, arching my back as he continues to press deeper. He adds another finger, fucking me with it, but it doesn’t come close to satisfying the longing that’s consumed me for years. No amount of self-control can hold back the desire that surges through me.His fingers alone can’t quench my thirst. All I want is his dick inside me, filling me, while my clit clench around him.He slams into me with all the raw power I remember from our first night together, igniting a fire deep in me.That night is etched in my memory, and each time I use my toy, I picture him, as I thrust in and out reliving the raw connection I feel that reckless night.As he drives deeper, sensations flood back, every gasp, every moan, every brush of his skin against mine.
