Alex’s P.O.V. I scoop Stella into my arms after making her cum hard on my fingers, and she buries her face in my chest, encircling her arms around my neck. I carry her towards the bed and gently lay her down on it. After leaning down, I run my fingers through her hair. “Feeling better now.” She looks at me with a smile on her face. After a long week, finally, her smile reaches to her eyes, and it gives me immense peace. She responds, her eyes fixed on me. “Better? Feeling so good now. Thank you, Alex.” “Don’t thank me because I’m doing this for myself.” Listening to my words, her brows narrow in confusion. “For yourself?” Grinning at her, I lie down beside her. As I pull her into my arms, she doesn’t resist. Instead, she snuggles up into me. I can feel her warm breath on my chest, which is sending shivers down my spine. I answer her, “I can’t see you in pain, Flower. It hurts me. That’s why I’m ready to do anything to make you feel better.” She lifts her head from my chest an
Stella’s P.O.V.After cleaning the kitchen which Alex messed up, I’m preparing the breakfast. When I saw him in the mess, I laughed so hard after a long time. I never thought that I would ever find Alex Blackwood standing covered in flour, looking completely lost.God! I still can’t believe that Alex stepped into the kitchen for me.Why is he making me feel so special and worthy?Whatever it is, I’m just liking it. For now, I just don’t want to think that he is my stepbrother and what we’re doing is wrong. I just want him to be with me. Because I’m afraid that if he leaves, I’ll fall back into the darkness again.No. No. I can’t deal with that pain again.I don’t even want to think about the incident. Right now, Alex is with me and I’m getting myself back. It’s enough for me. I seriously don’t care about the future.As I whisk the eggs into the bowl, Alex stands, leaning against the refrigerator, his eyes filled with desire roaming all over my body, making me wet between my legs.I ca
Alex’s P.O.V.Fuck! I can’t take out the image of Stella sitting on the kitchen counter, completely naked, splaying her legs for me.It was such a hot sight.Today, I finally let Stella see how controlling I can be—how much I love to dominate women during sexual encounters. The way she responded and how wet she was, it clearly seemed that she enjoyed being in my control as well.Damn! Stella is driving me crazy. I’m dying to claim her as mine. But I’m still stopping myself because I’m scared. What if Stella regrets this in the future?Although we have already crossed the line, something inside me keeps holding back. Maybe it’s the guilt, the nagging voice in my head telling me this is wrong. Or maybe it’s the fear of losing Stella. She’s not just another woman to me—she’s everything. And if she regrets this, if she sees what we’re doing as a mistake, I don’t think I could handle it.“Alex…” As Stella places his hand on my arm, I jolt back to reality. She sits beside me at the breakfa
Stella’s P.O.V.What the fuck Alex is doing to me?He’s being too sweet and caring, as if he is my boyfriend.But I’m not ready for another relationship yet. It’s been only a week since Jade crushed my heart and I’m still overcoming that pain.No matter how much my heart is melting, I’m not ready to trust a man again. I can’t let my heart break again.Moreover, Alex is my stepbrother, there is no future for us. We should keep it only physical.But it’s impossible to stop my heart from falling in love with Alex when he takes care of me like this, as if I’m the most important person in the world for him.I hate how he makes me feel so safe, so wanted. I hate how my heart races every time he smiles at me, or how my body responds to his touch. It’s too much, too soon, and yet I can’t pull away.Jade’s betrayal is still fresh. I can’t forget the way he made me feel worthless, the lies, the cheating... it’s all too much to move on from so quickly. Alex is the exact opposite, though—he’s bee
Stella’s P.O.V. Zoe smirks at me as we make our way toward the stairs. “You’ve definitely got something going on. You were all 'I'm not hungry,' and now you’re leading the charge to the canteen.”I roll my eyes. “Yeah, well, I changed my mind.”Just as we start descending the stairs, Zoe’s foot slips on the edge of the step. She lets out a startled yelp, her arms flailing as she loses her balance. Immediately, Selena and I catch her before she can fully tumble down.“Whoa! Are you okay?” I ask, steadying her with a firm grip.She grabs my arm, laughing, though her face pales. “Yeah, I’m fine. As usual, I’m getting in trouble.” She winces, leaning a little heavier on us.Selena gives her other arm, and the three of us make it down the stairs more slowly this time.As we near the canteen door, I spot Alex and Sky sitting at a table. Their heads turn toward us just when Zoe stumbles again. Sky, who had been lazily slouched in his seat, immediately jumps up, his eyes widening as he rushe
Alex’s P.O.V.I pull the car off the main road and head down the narrow path leading to my beach villa. The drive was quiet, but I could feel Stella glancing at me every few minutes.We turn into the long driveway. Stella shifts in her seat and her eyes widen as she takes in the view. The villa sits at the edge of the sand. It has the modern glass-and-wood design. The sound of the ocean is faint, but it’s there, constant and calming.I park the car and glance over at Stella. She’s still staring out the window, her eyes filled with amazement.“Is this yours?” She asks, turning her face towards me with a look of disbelief.I nod, unbuckling my seatbelt. “Yeah. My father gifted me this place a few years ago. Ever since then, it’s been my escape when I need to get away from everything.” I pause, my fingers drumming on the steering wheel. “You’re the first person I’ve brought here.”Stella’s eyes glimmer with something unreadable, and she turns back to look at the villa. “It’s beautiful,”
Alex’s P.O.V.“Don’t blame me later.” I wink at her before gripping the straps of her bra and tearing it off in one swift, rough motion. Her gasp is lost as my mouth finds her neck, and I attack her skin with hungry kisses, sucking and biting, leaving marks that claim her as mine.My hands are everywhere, roaming over her exposed skin. I roughly cup her breasts before squeezing them with a desperation I can’t control. Her nipples harden beneath my touch, and I twist and pinch them, eliciting a sharp cry from her lips.She arches into me, her hands tangled in my hair, pulling me closer as her moans fill the night air, mixing with the sound of crashing waves. Her pleasurable whimpers drive me wild, making me harder.“God, Stella, the way you moan,” I whisper against her skin before capturing her lips again and devouring them hungrily. Our bare chests pressed together, our hearts beating in sync.Her hips buck against me, seeking friction, and with a smirk on my face, I grind my knee bet
Alex’s P.O.V. Stella obeys, slowly lowering herself onto the wet sand before me on her fours. I take in the sight of her like this—the way she waits, completely exposed, the curve of her back, the way her skin glows under the moonlight. My chest tightens with a possessive pride. She’s mine. Only I can see her like this. It gives me an immense satisfaction. As I let my boxers drop, freeing my hard dick, her eyes widen and her lips part.I smirk. “Do you like what you’re seeing?”She bites her lower lip, her cheeks flushing a deep red. “Absolutely.”Without another word, I drop to my knees behind her. My hands roam over her body as I press myself against her wetness. I can feel her body shudder with anticipation when I grind against her slick folds, teasing her without giving her what she craves. My grip on her hips tightens. “Say it, Stella. Say that this beautiful cunt of yours belongs to me.” With one hand, I tap my hardness on her clit. She meets my gaze over her shoulder, her
James’s P.O.V.Liar.She is a fucking liar.It has been eight days since she left my life and one week since that kiss.When I first saw her kissing another man right in front of me, I believed it—I believed she had moved on in just one night. I was hurt, broken, angry, and frustrated. But then I realised something. That’s exactly what she wanted. She wanted me to hate her, to walk away from her, to move on.But I won’t.I know she was acting that day because I saw the love in her eyes when she was with me. I have felt it. The same love I have for her.She is running away from me because of her father. She wants me to forget her. But that’s never going to happen. I can’t forget about her. No one can make me forget her because I saw my future with her, and I will do anything to make that future a reality.I won’t give up on us so easily, Selena. I know you want me as much as I want you. From the moment your lips touched mine, you became mine. And we are meant to be together—forever.I
Selena’s P.O.V.Pain.My heart is heavy with unbearable pain. Today, I pushed James away from me forever, and it hurts more than I ever imagined.I kissed someone else when all I wanted was to run to him, to hold him so tightly that nothing and no one could separate us. He is the one who makes me feel special, the one who gives me the attention I have craved my entire life. The way he takes care of me stole my heart completely.When I saw James standing at the entrance of my college, I knew I had to do something to make him stop following me and move on with his life. That's why I kissed that guy in front of him.But the moment our lips met, my heart shattered into pieces. Letting another man feel my lips, when the only man I ever wanted was James, felt like a betrayal.But now… now James will hate me to the core.That’s what I wanted, right?This is what’s best for me.I can’t disappoint my father by going back to James.I grab the glass kept in front of me and gulp down the alcohol
James’s P.O.V.It’s been two days since Selena left my life, and last night she left my house too—she’s vanished from my life completely. For the past two days, she has completely ignored me, as if we never had anything between us. It hurts like someone is stabbing a knife into my heart again and again.I was yearning to hold her, kiss her, touch her—just once in the last two days. But I couldn’t. She’s running away from me, and I can’t force her to stay.For the first time in my entire life, I felt like spending the rest of my life with a woman, and now she’s running away from me.Why, God? Why?I miss her so damn much that my body aches for her touch, for her warmth. My eyes long to see her face, her smile—the smile that melts my heart every time I see it. Without her, I feel like I’m losing myself. I try to numb the pain by locking myself in my room and drinking, but nothing helps.I get up from the stool, grab my keys from the table, and make up my mind—I need to see her, even if
James’s P.O.V. Unbearable pain. I feel unbearable pain in my chest for letting Selena go, even after knowing that she needs me like I need her. Because I don’t want to make things difficult for her, I don’t want to force her to choose me instead of her parents. I never want to push her for anything. Now she's gone from my room, from my life, and I feel completely incomplete without her. I get up from the bed and sit on the mini bar stool in my room before starting to drink directly from the bottle. I feel a type of emptiness that I've never felt before.The bitter liquid burns down my throat, but it’s nothing compared to the ache in my chest. I take another sip, hoping it will numb the hollow feeling inside me, but nothing happens. Her voice, her touch, the way she looked at me with those eyes full of unspoken words—I can still feel it all. And yet, she’s gone. I let her go. Tears stream down my face as I slam the bottle onto the counter before gripping the edge as I struggle t
Selena’s P.O.V.But I can’t tell him that I love him. I’m too scared.What if I tell him, and everything gets ruined? What if my parents hate me?No. No. I can’t bear to see the disappointment in their eyes. This can never happen. No matter what, I’ll never let my parents hate me. If I have to destroy my own happiness, I’ll do it for them—because my only goal is to please them and finally receive their love. I can’t let anyone come between me and that goal, not even James.I take a deep breath and say, controlling my emotions. “ I don’t care what you feel. Let me go, James. I told you from the beginning—we have no future. I never gave you false hope.”My voice sounds foreign to me.His grip loosens.Now is my chance to leave. He won’t stop me after hearing my ruthless lie—that I don’t care about what he feels.But the truth is, I do.I feel his pain as if it were my own. And I know—I’m breaking his heart.I’m breaking mine too.And God… I will never forgive myself for hurting him.Bu
Selena’s P.O.V.The next night, I lie in bed with James in his room, lost in thoughts about us. We’ve grown so close recently that my heart aches at the mere thought of leaving his mansion and returning to my parents’ home. I know it’s going to be the hardest goodbye of my life.But right now, with the few days I have left with him, I want to live them to the fullest.I’m wearing James’s shirt, and his face is buried in my chest, his muscular arm wrapped securely around my waist. I’ve never felt so safe in anyone’s arms before. Why can’t I keep this man forever?I play with his hair as he lies silently on my chest—his “softies,” as he calls them. I feel his warm breath on my skin, seeping through the open buttons of the shirt. It comforts me so much that I could live my entire life like this… and even die like this. But I can’t. And the pain of that truth is unbearable.He lifts his head and notices the sadness in my eyes. “Hey, where are you lost when you’re right here with me?”“Now
Selena’s P.O.V.The weekend trip ends as quickly as it begins. It’s like a dream I never want to wake up from. When I’m with James, time seems to fly.James takes me everywhere. We explore the charming streets of Paris hand in hand. He insists on buying me everything I admire—scarves, perfumes, even a silver bracelet I can’t stop looking at.He’s spoiling me like nobody else before. God! I’m going crazy.We visit museums, but I’m too distracted by the way he watches me instead of the art. We sip wine at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the city. He feeds me strawberries dipped in chocolate, calling me his queen.We ride a boat along the Seine, the city lights reflecting in the water, and he holds me as if I belong to him—because I do. Maybe not forever, but in these precious moments, I am entirely his.Every moment with James is magical. We share laughter and make sweet memories whenever we visit. At night, we fuck each other like there’s no tomorrow. Life with James feels like heaven
James’s P.O.V.“I want to take you out for the weekend, Selena.”“What?”“Yeah. Can you give me two days?”“Where do you want to take me?”“That’s a surprise,” I say, looking at her. “I just want to spend time with you—freely.”“But…”Before she can say anything else, I place my finger on her lips. “Please, Selena. I want this. Don’t say no.”I have never begged in front of anyone, and I never thought I would go this crazy for someone. But for Selena, I’m willing to do anything—things I’ve never done before.She nods with a smile on her face. “Okay. My two days are all yours.”A grin spreads across my face at her words. Without a thought, I grab her waist and press my lips against hers once again.***“Oh my God, Paris! I’ve always wanted to visit this city,” Selena exclaims in joy and her eyes sparkle as we land in Paris at night.“You’ve never been here before?” I ask in surprise, watching her excitement. Seeing her this happy makes me feel like I made the perfect choice. I always w
Selena’s P.O.V.I sit beside James in the car as he takes me somewhere for lunch. I asked him where we were going, but he wouldn’t tell me. He just said, “It’s a surprise, Selena.”Now, butterflies dance in my stomach just thinking about where he might be taking me. I steal glances at him every few seconds. He looks so damn hot while driving. The veins in his arms are visible, making my breath heavy. No one would ever guess he’s almost forty. Any woman would have a crush on him, and on top of that, he’s such a gentleman.He surprised me with a bouquet, and how he knelt before me to tie the strap of my heels melted my heart.What is happening between us? Why is he treating me like this? And more importantly—what are we? I need answers.“What are we, James?” I ask, breaking the silence.He shifts his gaze toward me and gives me that look—the one that melts my entire body.Damn this man!“Honesty, I don’t know.” He shrugs. “But I do know that when you’re beside me, I feel complete. You m
