ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 138: Losing it
ALEXEver since Logan’s false allegations, I’ve been trying my hardest to put some much-needed distance between myself and Scarlett. The only reason I approached her was in a bid to help her wiggle free of Logan’s self-centred employment, and nothing else.And since she didn’t give me the time of day, it was a ridiculously easy task to maintain my distance.Yet, each time I caught sight of her, I couldn’t help but wonder if the insane magnetic force that pulled me towards her qualified as love. I didn’t want to admit that any possibility existed that I was in love with her as Logan pointed out, but the emotions she stirred in me were so foreign and overwhelming.What did any of that signify? An obsessive feeling of attraction and lust, maybe, but not love. I knew for a fact that I was incapable of falling in love, I was simply driven by my insatiable hormones.My wolf didn’t care that I was working through those emotions and trying to stay away from her until they were resolved. He wa

SCARLETTAlex’s behavior shook me to my very core.The vulnerability and desperation that he oozed of was unlike him, but somehow it didn’t make me think less of him. If any other man who I’d known to possess a domineering and commanding energy has fallen to his knees before me that way, I’d have lost every ounce of respect for him in an instant.But something somewhere forced my initial impression of Alex to remain untainted. As much as he wasn’t a gentleman or a friend in any capacity to me, I had an odd amount of respect for him because of his affiliation with a talent company I’d dreamt of working at for countless years.Still, after the sex scandal, I started to hate him, so, I put up impenetrable walls against him, but his pleas had almost torn them down.My wolf had been clawing at my insides and forcing me to defy logic and let him touch me, at least to pleasure me as proof that he was now a better man that cared to cater to my sexual satisfaction above his.However, I fought

LOGANUnlike other businessmen, I never accepted defeat no matter how impossible a goal seemed.That’s why I employed private investigators and fixers to get me into the inner circles of the billionaires I targeted to invest in my countless projects. I always made it seem like our meeting was fated and then, I swooped in and bagged them.This time, the big fish I was planning to score was a bloody rich woman who came from old money and had never worked a day in her life, yet her source of income never ran dry.She was hard to bump into, so the second I got word from a private investigator that he got me entry into a charity event under her foundation, I dropped everything and got ready to leave. I checked Ashley’s office first to see if she was available to accompany me but she was out on business so I was stuck with Scarlett’s overbearing ass.When I informed her that we’d be attending a charity event for disabled and underprivileged children, I was strangely taken aback that she qui
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 141: Contented
SCARLETTI’m sitting across a man who holds my entire heart in his palms, decidedly so.He’s somehow pulling off a light blue suit, looking like the best thing to have ever happened since the marvelous invention of chocolates.We’ve just finished having the best dinner date I’ve ever been on and now he's feeding me dessert while going on about how the interview process for a new employee at the cafe was the funniest task he's ever been saddled with.Instead of being invested in the conversation, I’m too distracted by the two tickets sitting in my purse to the all white party Ashley invited me to. The moment she suggested that I bring a date, Blake was the first person that came to mind.However, I knew that bringing him as my date would only raise suspicions and I couldn't risk ruining the beautiful thing we had blossomed into.“Let’s get out of here,” I whispered to him, my eyes sending a message that he couldn't possibly miss.“Shit, yeah,” he chuckled, smiling like a teenage boy th

SCARLETTMy hands were ruffling through my tangled curls and struggling to pull them into a bun for work when I heard my phone ping with a notification.Thinking that it was a text about the package I’d been waiting on for a week, I hurried to grab my phone off my bed. Only for my smile to fall when I saw that the text was from the worst person possible.Logan.Couldn't he wait a few more minutes until I was at work to ruin my day? I murmured to myself as I unlocked my phone.Logan: take the day off to get ready for the all-white party tonight. I’ll work from home.I blinked thrice. Then four more times before reading the text a second and third time to be sure I hadn't imagined the words. When I confirmed that they were real, I grabbed my pillow and screamed excitedly into it.I didn't dare question it, only the gods knew why Logan’s behavior was as questionable and unpredictable as it was, but I wasn't about to bug myself with the specifics when it was finally working in my favor.I

LOGANI could hear my heartbeat drumming in my ears as it tripled.Something alerted me that Ashley could probably hear it too because she kept glancing away from the host she was just cornering into a deal to sneak frowns in my direction. I held her gaze and reminded myself of her beauty each time, just to convince myself that my picking heart rate was as a result of the endless love I had for her.But my wolf kept snickering at me like that couldn't be further from the truth.And then seconds later, I realized why he’d done that. A force that nearly crippled my entire being made me look towards the door and I dragged in a sharp breath that I nearly tripped on nothing. The startling after effect caused my champagne glass to slip and shatter at my feet.Scarlett in white was the most magnificent view I’d ever laid eyes on.As soon as I saw her walk into the hall, my heart rate skyrocketed and my senses dulled to every sight that wasn’t her and any sound that wasn't from her.Her slend

LOGANThis was the perfect time to ask her, no doubt.I refused to overthink it, I went right to it as soon as the thought popped into my head. I’d put off asking about it for long enough just because I didn't want to come off as desperate.“As soon as we get to the office, I expect you to forward Mrs. Walsh’s personal contact details to me,” I ended up demanding instead of asking like I’d planned to.An unamused chuckle left her lips and then she adjusted her seatbelt so she could turn to fully face me. “If you're going to ask for the one thing no businessman has ever laid hands on that I happened to bag with ease, you should ask nicely.”The smug tone she chose made a nerve twitch in my temple, I could feel my annoyance rising to the brim. It was far too easy for her to get under my skin these days, I needed to fix that.“You work for me, for fuck’s sake. You should've sent that information to me the second you learned that it was nearly impossible to find because whatever fattens t

SCARLETTHe could’ve burnt to ashes, and yet he didn't seem to care.The cut that caused him to take a risk so life threatening wasn't even worth it. The fact that it was caused by a silver object must've startled him, but I was much stronger than he knew and I’d have healed anyway.I tried to explain that I could wait until we got to work, but he seemed far too concerned to wait.For someone who’d nearly emptied the air from my lungs twice out of anger, it was disturbing that he’d go under the scorching sun that triggered his curse just to clean a tiny injury.The only other person I’d seen him express such concern and care about was Ashley, so I wasn't sure what to think when he expressed it to me for the first time. Maybe I was overthinking things and Ashley had forced him to be nicer to me or something, that made much more sense than assuming that Logan genuinely cared about me.But aside from his unwarranted sacrifice, our nearness also struck a nerve I didn't know he was capable
