Caitlyn’s breath caught as James crossed the small space between them. She tried to step back, but her back was already pressed against the wall. He stopped in front of her, close enough to touch, but he didn’t. “You shouldn’t have told me that,” he murmured. Her lips parted. “Why?” He leaned closer until his breath brushed her ear, his voice dropping dangerously low. “Because now I can’t stop thinking about wanting to fuck you.” ───── ✧ ♡ ✧ ───── ♠︎CAITLYN♠︎ James Beauvein hates me. At least, I’m pretty sure he does. Ever since my mother married his father, a powerful politician running for governor with a carefully protected reputation, James has made it clear that I’m the last person he wants in his family. He’s arrogant, infuriating, and seems to enjoy making my new life miserable. I hate him just as much. So why does the man who couldn’t stand me suddenly want me? One minute, he’s reminding me that I’m his stepsister. The next, he’s pulling me dangerously close and looking at me like the word stepsister is the only thing stopping him from doing everything we both know he shouldn’t. I know this is wrong. I know whatever is happening between us needs to stop. There’s just one problem. I don’t think I want it to. No matter how hard I try to hate James Beauvein, I can’t seem to resist him. ♠︎JAMES♠︎ Caitlyn Dexter was never supposed to mean anything to me. She was supposed to be my tool for revenge. My father, Ricardo Beauvein, has spent years destroying lives while hiding behind his perfect reputation. Now he’s running for governor with his beautiful new wife and her innocent daughter beside him, selling the world another lie about his perfect family. So I’ll give him a scandal he can’t survive. The plan is simple: make Caitlyn fall for me, cross every forbidden line with my new stepsister, and expose everything when my father’s campaign has too much to lose. Breaking her heart is supposed to be the easiest part. Except Caitlyn gets under my skin. I hate seeing her with other men. I want her even when no one is watching. And every time I tell myself I’m only touching her because of the plan, the lie becomes harder to believe. There’s a thin line between revenge and obsession. Between making Caitlyn fall for me… and falling for her first.
