Chapter 1 Rosalie Lima was known throughout LAs elite circles as the perfect daughter . The most rebellious thing shed ever done was secretly dating her brothers sworn enemy for three years and allowing him to record countless intimate videos of their encounters . In his Bentley Flying Spur , Dante Wolf had once again undressed her while remaining fully clothed himself , his phone strategically positioned nearby . His lips traced her collarbone , sending shivers down her spine and leaving a trail of marks . Dante , she whispered softly , can we …. stop with the recordings ? Dante paused briefly , then chuckled . He lifted his head , his dark eyes reflecting her face with a miz of possessiveness and amusement . Getting camera shy on me now ? Relax , theyll never get out . I just like having something to watch when I miss you . Come on , baby , do this for me ? Just this once ? That baby melted her resistance , her ears burning as she found herself yielding to his voice , unable to form any further objections . Dantes kiss returned with dominating intensity , gradually consuming what remained of her rational thought . The temperature in the luxury sedan rose steadily as his movements grew more forceful , as if he wanted to claim her entirely . Rosalies breathing quickened , her fingers instinctively digging into his shoulders . When it finally ended , the car stopped shaking . Rosalie had just reached her peak , sitting on his lap , feeling completely drained . Dante calmly fastened his belt , glanced down at her , and carelessly ruffled her hair . Ive got a meeting with the guys . The driver will take you home , and maybe Ill swing by later , cool ? Rosalie nodded , her voice barely audible . After Dante left , Rosalie dressed herself , still feeling disoriented . Just as she was about to instruct the driver to take her home , she noticed Dante had left his cardholder on the seat . She quickly grabbed it and hurried after him . After asking where his meeting was , she made her way to the private room at the upscale restaurant . 13:00 The Ultimate Payback When I Married Your Enemy , My Stepbrother 0.0 % Chapter 1 The door was slightly ajar . Rosalie was about to enter when she heard raucous laughter from inside . Damn , Wolf , you were really going at it ! came a voice she recognized as Marcus , one of Dantes friends . The whole Bentley was rocking when I walked by . Can you imagine how Alistair Lima would lose his shit if he knew his precious sister was so wild with you ? Rosalie froze , feeling as if shed been struck by lightning . Fuck yeah ! That was Tyler , another of Dantes inner circle . Wolf and Lima have been enemies for years . Wolf wouldnt have orchestrated that whole knight in shining armor rescue of Limas sister if he wasnt planning the ultimate payback . How many videos have you collected now over a hundred ? Jasons voice was slick with anticipation. When are you going to drop them , Wolf ? Im dying to see Little Miss Perfect naked and begging , but more than that , I cant wait to see Alistairs face when his sisters sex tapes go viral ! They continued their crude conversation , completely unaware of her presence outside the door . Rosalies mind went blank , her ears ringing . Their vile words echoed in her head , growing louder until they thundered through her skull . Dante … had planned that rescue ? Their entire relationship was just revenge against her brother ? Youre quiet , Wolf . Marcus again . You only approached Rosalie to get back at Alistair , to make him stop challenging your territory in New York . Dont tell me youve actually caught feelings for his sister ? Feelings ? The man who had just called her baby sat at the head of the table , lazily sipping his whiskey . His lips curved into a cold smirk . Alistair Lima is my fucking enemy . I only want to destroy him . Im just deciding when to release those videos for maximum damage . How about on Rosalies birthday ? I bet Alistairs face when he sees his perfect little sister begging for it will be … priceless . You savage bastard ! Tyler howled with laughter . The group erupted in crude jokes and anticipatory excitement . Rosalies fingers trembled ; she could barely stand . Suddenly , a waiters voice came from beside her : Miss , are you going in ?

The second time , someone had drugged her drink at a gallery opening , and she was about to be assaulted when Dante intervened , carrying her to safety . That night , he became her antidote . The next morning , when she awoke in his penthouse , he was standing by the floor to ceiling windows overlooking Central Park , casually buttoning his designer shirt . Hearing her stir , he turned , his predatory eyes almost paralyzing her . He leaned down , drawing closer . Been wanting to ask since I first saw you youve got a thing for me , dont you ? Her mind went blank as she stared at his impossibly handsome face , stammering wordlessly . He simply smirked : No ? Then why do you blush every time you see me ? And why were you kissing me this morning ? The drugs were out of your system by then , werent they ?
