BETTING ON THE WRONG BROTHER: ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS ROMANCE
Her first orgasm was a bet….
———- “Spread wider for me, Carter." He growled against my throat.
My traitorous legs parted. "This doesn't mean I forgive you, Grey."
"Fuck—" His fingers pushed inside me. "That only makes me crave you more."
"I hate you—"
"Hate me all you want, Carter. Just soak me while you do it."
---
Lethally hot hockey star and billionaire heir, Lexter Gray, was supposed to hook up with the campus outcast and walk away laughing. One cruel bet with the girl everyone calls Four-eyes.
Sloane Carter has spent her whole life hiding behind oversized sweaters and thick glasses.
But Lexter didn't expect the kiss to feel real. And Sloane didn't know it was a lie.
When she returns to the pool that night to grab her forgotten sweater… she hears everything. The bet. The laughter. The truth.
Heartbroken, Sloane nearly drowns in Lexter's pool… saved by the same boy who destroyed her.
She swore she'd erase him.
But now they're paired together for the project of the season. Forced to face the tension together.
She hates that she ever let him touch her.
He hates that he can't forget what she tastes like.
Then the glasses come off. The oversized sweaters disappear. And everyone at Passion can see what Lexter's been silently craving.
When his charming brother starts flirting with Sloane, Lexter begins to lose control.
He realizes, too late, that he'd already fallen for his hot nerd.
Now he'll do anything to win her back. And Sloane? If he expects her to roll over like his other puck bunnies, he's in for a shock.
And what happens when Lexter discovers that his hot nerd didn't just steal his heart. She stole something far worse?
⚠️Not your sweet college romance…
Explicit content. Dark themes. Broken people.

Chapter: 006: The Eclipse Effect✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:LEXTER ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✦ ✧ ✦ I am a jerk. Yes. And I enjoy it. But something about Sloane Carter throwing it in my face got me fingers-twitching mad. I couldn't forget that look. That exact moment when I drove the knife in and twisted. {I wouldn't fuck you if my life depended on it.} The way her lips trembled when I said those words. How her eyes went glossy. The precise second each feature crumbled. It was like watching an eclipse… devastating and beautiful and I should have looked away but I couldn't. Usually, when I crush someone, I enjoy it. Remember it just long enough to feel good. Then forget. Except this time, I couldn't. So here I was, trying to bleed it out through pencil and paper. Sketching that look for the fourth time since she left. That broken expression. Those wide eyes. The way her mouth opened like she wanted to say something but couldn't. I'm sketching her pain like some kind of psychopath. And I can't stop. My phone had been vibra

Fighting. Clawing at his stupid perfect arms."You stood there and watched your girlfriend push me into the pool and now you want to ask me questions like some fucking savior.""I don't have a girlfriend.""I don't care. Let me go.""No." He rasped. "You're hypothermic. If you don't warm up properly your heart could stop. So no. I'm not letting you go."My hypothermia? I only joked about it once when he asked about my sweaters.And he... remembered?Stop it, Sloane. It was all part of the bet."Stay still or you could fucking die." His arms pinched my body in."I'd rather die than spend another second in your arms.""Well you're not dying on my watch."I shoved at his chest. "You repulse me."He laughed. "Oh, you liar." His grip tightened. "You were writhing i

Chapter: 004: When Drowning Feels Like Flying✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:SLOANE ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✦ ✧ ✦I hit the pool with a suddenness that shook the very fibre of my being. The cold slammed into me like a thousand knives.But the moment my body crashed through the surface, something happened. Something I'd never felt before.Relief.The peace that came with the inability to fight.I can't swim.Like physically. I never learned. Was too busy learning other survival skills. But let's not pretend that's why I'm sinking into Lexter's twelve-feet pool.Let's not pretend that's why I didn't even fight.Let's not pretend I don't just want to... disappear.Okay, before you judge me for wanting to end it all "for a guy," you don't know the half of it.My mom left when I was five. Just woke up one day and disappeared. And my dad never wanted me. Never wanted to see me. Never wanted to know me. Which makes sense for the daughter of the other woman. So eventually I ended up with my stepdad and his three sons.How's that going?Not great.So maybe for this brief mo

Chapter: 003: She Can’t Swim✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:LEXTER ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✦ ✧ ✦ There she was. Sloane Carter. Standing by the poolside entrance like she'd materialized out of thin air. The girl I'd just had my fingers inside twenty minutes ago. And fuck if I knew why I could still taste her on my lips. Still feel the way she trembled. Still hear those soft broken sounds she made against my mouth. The truth is Sloane Carter didn't exist in my world. She was the girl who practically lived in the library. The one with the thick glasses who kept her head down and her earbuds in. The straight-A student who made everyone else feel stupid just by existing. We didn't run in the same circles. I only ever caught glimpses of her when I passed by the library. Usually buried in a book. Always alone. The bet was simple. Twenty grand to make Sloane Carter think someone like me could want someone like her. Then ignore her like she never existed. Ashley's idea... her twisted little game. Payback for the day Sloane embarrassed h

"That kiss?" His gaze dropped to my mouth. "I was holding back." "You were?" "Yeah." His grip tightened slightly. "And I don't think I can anymore." I blinked. Oh. Oh. That's the bad news? Exhale. Because for a second… just one horrible, stomach-dropping second—I thought he was gonna say it was a mistake. That he was about to take it all back. "Open your mouth, Sloane." His voice dipped, rougher now. My mouth obeyed on auto. His hand slid into my hair, and suddenly—holy shit—his tongue was in my mouth. I had no idea what I was doing. Was I supposed to move my tongue like that? Was I breathing right? Could he tell I'd never done this before? My hands went straight to his shoulders. He pulled me closer, and the world shrank to just this—the water, the heat of him, his breath saying my name against my lips.

I'm the scholarship student who skips meals to save money at the most expensive school in the country while everyone else complains about which European vacation to take next. I'm the error in their perfect algorithm. So why did I fight so hard to get in? Because I've been obsessed with the Alexander Beauty Empire since I was thirteen… since I watched their campaign about redefining beauty standards. They're the kind of company where ideas don't just sell lipstick… they shift culture. And you don't get through Alexander's doors without a degree from a school like Passion. So I clawed my way here… for a shot at my dream job. A chance to flip the script on what beauty means and finally escape my own personal hell. It's second year now. I still hide behind oversized sweaters and chunky glasses. Keeping my head down, my GPA up, my mouth shut when people like Ashley Alexander go out of their way to remind me I

Falling For My Billionaire Revenge Daddy
With him she is wild; and with her, he is tamed.
Roxette Bennett wanted revenge. What she found was passion, obsession, danger... and a love that could destroy them both. She fell first but he fell hard.
“Do you like this, baby?” he whispers, brushing his thumb across my hardened nipple, dragging circles over my stomach as my body melts.
I bit down on my lip, and a small whimper escapes, feeling a burning sting at the center between my legs.
“Oh no Baby, I love your beautiful moans but I will need your full permission. I can’t go further unless you say it,” he breathes, his possessive gaze locked on mine
I swallowed. “Please, touch me” I breathe, feeling an aching need for this man.
Then a dark growl, “How?”
“Anyhow you want to, Daddy.”
She’s young, curious, and just 22. He’s 39—intense and a very powerful man.She wanted control--until he took it.
After her boyfriend is killed in a hit-and-run, Roxette Bennett is shattered—until she meets the driver, Sarah McLain, a powerful law professor living her best life without any guilt. Roxy wants revenge.
She transfers to Gould University to destroy Sarah the only way she knows how—by seducing her cold, brilliant husband, billionaire attorney Aaron West.
But Aaron is no pawn—he’s a storm. And once Roxy steps into his world, she can’t escape. Every kiss is a lie. Every touch, a betrayal. And every moment with him pulls her deeper into the fire. And yet, neither of them can walk away.
Then there's Nick—wealthy, kind, and everything Aaron isn’t. He offers her safety. Peace and a way out.
But when a devastating secret about her late boyfriend and an unexpected pregnancy surface, Roxy must choose: Revenge,love or freedom?

Chapter: CHAPTER 66: He Has A Thing For BrunettesROXY's POV “Thank you for coming to the salon with me,” Sarah said. I smiled, even though my heart was still kind of unsure. Everything about today felt unreal. I mean, I was in a salon with Sarah McLain.... my married professor. The same woman whose husband I… kissed. It was all too much. The whole place sparkled like it was made of stars. Big gold mirrors, fancy lights, and women who looked like they belonged in magazines. I sat quietly, pretending I wasn’t out of place. “Of course, Sarah,” I said softly. “It’s a real pleasure being here. I’ve never actually been to a salon before.” As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted them. Why would I say that? That sounded so lame. Like, what girl hasn’t been to a salon? “What?” She snorted. “How?” All eyes turned to me. Even the stylist behind me paused. God, I wanted the chair to swallow me whole. “Well, Catherine.... my mom.... always took care of our hair. Rosie and I.” I looked away. Saying my mom’

Chapter: CHAPTER 65: Ride With SarahRoxy’s POVI had just finished fourth period and was heading straight to work. My backpack felt like it weighed a ton, and my head was still spinning from the last lecture. Thank God I didn’t have a class with Sarah today. I’d been avoiding her like the plague.Not because she did anything wrong. But because I don’t trust myself with her right now. Not after that kiss with her husband.My lips were still tingling just a little. I bit down softly like I could tell them to behave. But honestly, it felt like I could still taste him. Feel him. Ugh. Focus, Roxy. Work. Just get to work.And then, totally unexpected.Like a scene out of some fancy movie, I saw the black Maybach parked by the sidewalk. Her Maybach.Of course.Sarah.She lowered her sunglasses and smiled like we were besties on a coffee run.“Hi girl,” she said brightly, waving me over.Girl?I tried not to let it show, but something about that made my shoulders tighten. My professor calling me ‘girl’ just felt…off. Like she w

Chapter: CHAPTER 64: How Could I Walk Away From Him Now?Roxy’s POV Rosie was at it again, her long red hair tied up in a messy bun, crouched low beside her dad’s old Thunderbird. Her jeans were smeared with grease, her hands black, face shiny with sweat, but she looked totally focused. Like this car could actually come back to life if she willed it hard enough. I sat in the passenger seat, door open, one leg hanging out, tapping my hand against the steering wheel. She grunted as something clanked loudly under the hood. “Rosie,” I said. “Hold on,” she muttered, disappearing deeper into the engine like she was crawling inside it. The air smelled like rust, gasoline, and summer. My leg bounced. I had something to say, and it was eating me alive. I tapped again. “Rosie.” Nothing. She wiped her forehead with the back of her wrist. “Come on, baby,” she whispered to the engine like it could hear her. “Just one little growl for mama.” Why am I sitting here in this truck watching her waste her time as usual. Yes because I nee

Chapter: CHAPTER 63: Her Name About To Slip Off My TongueAaron’s POVI had just stepped out of the shower, towel hanging low on my hips, running another through my damp hair. The mirror was foggy, but her image was clear in my head.Roxette Bennett.Sarah’s student.Her soft lips. That petite little body. Those dark eyes that looked like they could see right through me. Her voice still echoed in my ears from the elevator. God, I wanted her.I wanted to make her mine.In my bed.Damn it, Aaron.What the hell are you even thinking?She’s just a girl.Sarah’s student. Sarah’s favorite student.I can’t do this. I’m not that man. The one who needed to control, to dominate. I buried him a long time ago.“Hey, baby,” Sarah’s voice cut through my thoughts. I hadn’t even heard her come in. Her arms wrapped around me from behind, her hands sliding over my chest.“I missed you. Work was crazy today. But now I’m home. And you… you smell so damn good,” she whispered, pressing her lips into my back.I wanted to respond. I really did. But all I could thin

Chapter: CHAPTER 62: Ending Our Arrangement Aaron’s POVThere was a knock.I lifted my head from the file I hadn’t really been reading.And there she was.Roxette Bennett.She walked in.White blouse, neatly tucked into a fitted skirt. Clean lines. Professional. Composed.Except for her hair.Typically, I prefer brunette but here I am lusting after her wild dark hair.That ponytail was slightly undone, and I knew damn well I was the reason for it. My fingers had been in it just this morning. In the elevator. Pressed up against her. Her body against mine. Her lips...God help me.The second my eyes landed on her, it hit me all over again. That moment. Her kiss. The taste of her mouth. The sound of her breathing against my neck. My hand fisted at my side. I couldn’t let it show. Not again.And yet… I wanted her. Right here. Right now.I wanted to kiss her again. Pull her close. Feel her body trembling beneath mine. Kiss her until those soft, sweet lips were swollen and needy and only ever mine.She stepped closer, clearing her th

I wanted more.I’m pacing my office like a madman, hands dragging through my hair, chest rising and falling too damn fast. I can still taste her on my lips—sweet, unsure, and devastatingly addictive. The elevator lights might’ve come back on, but something inside me… shut down. Or maybe cracked wide open.I kissed her.I kissed my wife’s student. My intern. A girl I have no business even looking at, let alone kissing like she was mine to take.Goddamn it.I slam my palm against my desk.Thirteen years in this building. Hundreds of faces. Dozens of interns. I’ve never crossed the line. Not once. And then her.Her voice.Her mouth.Her fire.The way she looked at me in the dark like I was something worth saving.Another slam. My fist this time. Desk shakes.

Chapter: Chapter 155: Cruel Blackmail ••MADDISON••I walked into the house with my chest feeling like someone had cracked it open and left it bleeding, and the first thing I saw made everything worse.Chad was sitting on my couch like he belonged there, like he had any right to be in my space after everything, and next to him was my mom with a glass of wine in her hand and a smile on her face that made my stomach turn."Hey, my darling, come have a sit." My mom waved her hand toward the empty spot on the couch like this was all perfectly normal. "Guess who is here to see you."I stopped in the doorway and felt my whole body go rigid."Chad, what the hell are you doing here?"Chad stood up slowly with his hands in his pockets and that smile on his face that so so long ago used to make me feel safe but now just made me feel sick."I had to see you, Maddie." His voice was soft and gentle like he was talking to something fragile."Look at all the things he bought for you." My mom gestured to the coffe

I needed you to not leave while I figured out how to fix this.""You can't fix anything by trapping me, Corian." Tears burned at my eyes again. "That's not how this works.""Then tell me how it works." His voice rose slightly with desperation pushing through. "Tell me what I'm supposed to do because I don't know. I don't know how to do this without fucking it up.""You could start by not beating people half to death and leaving them naked in the street." I almost shouted."He tried to rape you." He dead panned and I could feel the pure rage in his words. "He put his hands on you. He was going to…” His jaw clenched so hard I could see the muscle jumping. "I would do it again. I would do worse. I would kill him if you asked me to.""That's exactly the problem." I pulled my wrist free from his grip and stepped back. "You don't see anyth

Chapter: Chapter 153: I Don’t Want To Lose You ••CORIAN••I heard a sound like a gasp and turned to see Shawny staggering back slightly with her hand pressed to her chest."You mean like a real relationship?" Her voice was barely above a whisper. "I thought the magazines were just peddling rumors.""They're not." I met her eyes steadily. "I claimed her in front of everyone that means anything and I meant it."Shawny's face went pale and she sat down slowly in her chair like her legs wouldn't hold her anymore."Corian, you have never done something like this before." She shook her head in disbelief. "Not even with your wife.""I know.""I don't know if you're ready for that kind of commitment." Her voice took on that professional tone, the therapist coming back. "In fact, I recommend that you are not. The complex cannot handle the pressure that will come from being the man she expects you to be."The complex. She meant the armor, the walls, the darkness that had kept me functioning all these years."I don'

Chapter: Chapter 152: I Think I am Falling ••CORIAN••I pushed through the glass doors of Shawny's office building. My chest was chaos and my hands were still shaking from the rage that hadn't left me since Maddison screamed those words at me.I'm not yours.The words kept playing over and over in my head like a song I couldn't turn off, and each time they cut deeper and made me want to put my fist through something.I reached Shawny's floor and walked down the hall way. Her receptionist looked up when I came in and her eyes went wide like she was seeing a ghost."Mr. Van Halen, you don't have an appointment today and I...""Is she in?" My voice came out as damaged as I felt."Yes, but she's with a client and..."I didn't wait for her to finish and just pushed past her desk toward Shawny's office door."Mr Van Halen..."I opened the door and walked in.Shawny was sitting in her usual chair with her legs crossed and a notebook in her lap, looking calm and professional like she always did.

Chapter: Chapter 151: I Am Not Yours ••MADDISON••Hell no."You left him battered and naked in the streets and stripped him of his dignity.""I did the exact same thing he was about to do to you," he stated it matter-of-factly, like he was stating an undeniable truth. "And I'll do it again and again and again, because when you touch what's mine, it's two things: you either don't live long enough to remember it or you live long enough to never forget it." He grabbed me suddenly and pulled me flush against him, crowding me with his fullness and that overwhelming scent. "So you understand, Tiger, the extent I'm willing to go to protect what's mine?"Don't live long enough? What was he actually saying?"I'm not yours." I pushed away from his grasp with all my strength. "I will never belong to someone who treats another person like that without a shred of remorse or guilt, then justifies it like it's nothing. No." I stepped back and put more distance between us.

The lobby was busy with people walking fast and talking on phones. The receptionist looked up when she saw me coming."Ms. Summers." She smiled like I was her favorite person.” No questions. No appointment but I couldn’t think too much into it right now. “Go right ahead."I headed straight for the elevator and pushed the button hard, probably harder than necessary.The doors opened and Betty stood there with a warm smile that faded the moment she saw my face.I definitely had pissed written all over my expression.She placed a call immediately.
