LOGINBlurb: He is off limits but every fiber of my being shamelessly wants to have him. After a break up with my ex-girlfriend, I gave up on love–believing my purpose was building my own company and not chasing feelings that leaves me empty. But one short, burning kiss changes everything forever. Her lips melt into mine like the perfect fit, her tongue erasing the numbness I'd carried for months. Everything about that kiss felt magically intoxicating. Until I opened my eyes. And realized that I just kissed a guy. It should have disgusted me, it should have even made me furious. Yet, I strangely wanted more. I told myself to stay away from him, to forget that night ever happened. But the spark in his eyes sets my body on fire, and when his finger brushes my cheek, resistance diffuses out of my body. I know this attraction will destroy me. But how do you resist something that feels so wrong, yet so right?

CYRUS’s POV
“Hi, I'm Dominic. You are?”
The familiar figure asked me, but I was completely stunned to reply.
Did he not recognize me?
Or was he acting up?
I remember those icy blue eyes so well. It was too familiar to miss. He was the same guy from the club.
The same guy with filthy lips, who wouldn't stop whispering dirty things to me, leading to a kiss between us both.
This man literally had me questioning my sexuality for so many days. I kept assuring myself that it was a mistake and that I was a straight man.
And now he was standing in front of my house, introducing himself?
Really?
I was still recalling how his lean fingers had curled around my face as we kissed, how he had groaned in my mouth and how he had called my lips his “perfect temptation” when someone brushed past me.
“Honey, you really don't need to introduce yourself to him.” A sharp voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
It was Phoebe, my sister.
She dragged Dominic inside, throwing me a vicious glare like usual before storming in with the man.
I didn't get it.
Why was she calling him so sweetly?
Was he her friend?
“Umm, who's he?” I asked, walking back to the sitting room.
Phoebe and Dominic were now sitting on the couch and their arms were interlocked while Phoebe rested her head on his shoulder.
Phoebe lifted her head off Dominic’s shoulder. “If you weren't so busy trying to bag unnecessary degrees, you would have known that he's my boyfriend.” She taunted me but the word “boyfriend” caught my attention.
My eyes darted towards Dominic. As he looked back at me, his icy blue eyes still had that glint of seduction whirling up in them.
What?
My sister's boyfriend?
How is he dating her and still kissing men at clubs?
Does she know what her boyfriend is doing behind her back?
A lot of emotions pooled inside me, weakening my legs so I took a seat on the couch across them. My mind was swirling with a lot of thoughts.
How was this possible?
Should I tell her? But that meant bringing more trouble for myself.
Phoebe and I never got along like the way siblings should and I always blamed myself for it. Though I'm the eldest, she just always saw me as the guy who overshadowed her success with mine.
She was averagely smart and I was a literal genius and as a result of that, my parents often preferred showing me off to friends more than her and being a good looking guy—as girls always tell me—I got a lot of attention while growing up.
This created differences between us, and even made her start competing with me because she always felt the need to prove that she was better than me.
However, all I really wanted was to be cool with my kid sister. It's why I studied so hard, trying out new things because I want to make so much money to spoil her and win her heart.
But no matter how hard I tried, she always pushed me away. So, if I dared to tell her that her boyfriend kissed me? I know she'll literally burn me alive.
“Babe, I made pasta for you. Come and eat,” Phoebe sweetly said to Dominic, who lifted her hand to kiss it.
A lump formed in my throat at the sight, and I didn't understand why.
The duo headed for the dining table just behind the sitting room, leaving me behind.
My lips curled downward, even if Phoebe made the best dish in the world, she would still restrict me from tasting it.
Phoebe blushed so much around Dominic, letting her look very happy and that made my shoulders drop. I wish I could make her smile like that.
Asides the lingering feeling of yearning to reconcile with my sister was a hot feeling of what I really do not understand. Dominic was acting so sweet to her, his eyes heavy with admiration whenever he stared at her and seeing all that, made me feel lonely.
No one had ever looked at me with so much affection, not my sister, not my exes, not even my parents.
Dominic was the only one who looked at me like he wanted to have me for life and seeing him look at my sister in the same way, made my jaws clench.
My brows furrowed at the sight of him flirting with my sister.
I didn't like that.
“Thought you said it was just a kiss, so why does it matter seeing him treating your sister lovingly?” The voice in my head asked, making me retrace my thoughts.
I shouldn't feel cheated. I mean… I'm not even gay.
So why do I care?
I tried to avert my gaze from them but I couldn't. And with every passing minute, the two of them grew even more romantic.
From feeding her, to wiping off the ends of her lips, whispering in her ears and kissing her cheek.
Christ.
My heart was palpitating at the sight.
I started feeling like I was suffocating despite being in such a wide room with big enough windows.
“You're not interested in Dominic, Cyrus. You're a straight man,” the voice in my head encouraged me and I took deep breaths, calming myself down.
Noting that I couldn't possibly think straight with him around me, I quickly headed to the kitchen, wanting to grab some fruits then head over to my room.
I had picked up an apple and some grapes, putting them in a plastic bowl when I felt someone's presence in the kitchen.
Heat crawled up my neck as I froze, my nostrils picked up a familiar musky scent.
I slowly turned back and there he was, standing only three inches away from my body. I could have sworn my heart jumped to my throat before racing.
My eyes widened, “What are you–”
“Shushhhh,” He pressed an index finger over my lips, his eyes sparkling with unchecked lust.
Being so close to him made me feel…hot. I usually felt hot whenever I was nervous so I assumed it was that until he drove the pad of his thumb over my cheek, making me shudder.
I swallowed hard, “What–What are you doing?”
He grinned, “I've been yearning to have those lips again, and now that I've found them, I'm going to make them mine.” He finished, biting hard on his own lips.
Fuck.
Why does that excite me?
Chapter FIVE ~ Piercing My Heart. CYRUS’s POV “Cyrus.”Just my name. He had called quietly just like he was afraid to push too hard.I stayed staring at the ground. “Go back inside. Fights are inevitable between siblings.”He stepped down the last stair and stood beside me. He didn’t touch me. He didn’t say anything. Simply, he remained there.That almost made it worse.“You do not have to pretend it didn't hurt,” he murmured.“It did not.” I lied. But it did. It tore something open.Dominic huffed a soft laugh, sitting next to me with his elbows on his knees. “You always do that.”“Do what?”“Act like you are made of steel when you bleed just like the rest of us.”I clenched my jaw. “You don’t know anything about me.”“I remember your mouth pretty well. I think that counts for something.”My head jerked toward him. “Stop. Just… stop.”He looked at me then, really looked again. “Why? Because you felt something you do not have a name for yet?”I moved away. “I don’t feel anything.”
Chapter FOUR ~ Jealousy Knows My NameCYRUS’s POVAs Dominic ran towards me, his length danced in between his legs. He handed me the cup to drink the water but I couldn’t just move my hands. He placed a hand at my back, rubbing it gently as he helped me to raise the cup to my mouth. My lips parted as I gulped down the water with the hope of erasing whatever my eyes had seen. “I so much want to believe it wasn’t my hot body that made you almost choke to death… but it is what it is.” He said casually before he strolled back into the bathroom. He came out again. This time with a towel wrapped around his waist. I sighed. “Good night, Cutie. I’m gonna go cuddle your sister to sleep.” He winked and walked out of the room, slamming the door. I groaned, gritting at my teeth as I imagined Phoebe placing her head on his broad chest with her hands wrapped around his sexy waist. And him whispering affectionate words to her while gently stroking her hair. I buried my face in my palm again.
Chapter THREE ~ Your Lips Knows The Truth. CYRUS’s POV Dominic’s lips descended on mine gently, nibbling on my lips. They were warm, soft and sweet at the same time. He took my lower lips into his mouth and sucked on them slowly. I shut my eyes as my hands trailed up his biceps. My body shuddered when his tongue pressed against my teeth, requesting access into my mouth. This was just like the other night at the club. But now, he’s my sister’s boyfriend. Maybe, he could be her fiancée in months. I can’t be the reason for their separation. Nor can I sit for hours listening to my parents talking about morals. This is so messed up. Yet, I couldn’t get him to remove his lips from mine. They felt like my salvation, pulling me in like a siren’s addiction. The room grew hotter when he pushed his tongue into my mouth. It dived right to the back of my throat. “Hmmm,” he groaned, his hands wrapping around the side of my face.He pulled out his tongue and slammed it back in. Slowly, his h
Chapter TWO ~ Almost Touched By Him.CYRUS’s POV “I’m going to make them mine.” His voice echoed at the back of my mind before I began to step backward. Though, the words he said had enticed and almost prompted me to close the gap between us but I remembered that he was Phoebe’s boyfriend as she had claimed. “Why are you stepping back, cutie?” He asked, following my steps. Cutie? Which guy calls a fellow guy ‘cutie’?“Don’t ever call me that.” I fought back, tone laced with warning, just before my back hit the kitchen slab. “Care to say that again?” He asked, his voice soft as his eyes pulled me in. My throat tightened, keeping me from swallowing my saliva. My knees went numb. And beads of sweat formed on my forehead. “Is my presence so addictive to you that you can’t say a word again?” He questioned, his eyes still pinned on me, forcing me to take a deep breath. Fuck. “Dominic, I’m waiting.” Phoebe called, her voice high as usual. “Coming… sweetheart.” He replied, his voi
