Emma’s POV

The hotel’s rear gardens were a labyrinth of manicured hedges and winding stone paths, lit only by the amber glow of low-level lanterns. The evening air was crisp, bitingly cold against my cheeks, making the prospect of the heated outdoor spa area feel less like a luxury and more like a necessity.

"Over there," Luca whispered, his hand heavy and warm on the small of my back. He pointed toward a cluster of high cedar fences draped in climbing ivy. A faint plume of white steam rose int

  • Can I ride you, Luca?....Craving my best friend’s brother   Chapter 88: After Emma Rejected my Confession

    Hannah’s POVThe world didn't end with a bang. It ended with the sound of sneakers on gravel and a voice that I had once found more comforting than a lullaby telling me that I was a "sister."Sister.The word felt like a physical weight, a jagged stone lodged in my throat. As I ran back from the edge of the woods, the twilight air felt thin, like it couldn't provide enough oxygen for my lungs. I reached the limestone sanctuary of our house, burst through the front door, and didn't stop until I had slammed the heavy oak door of my suite and turned the lock.I didn't turn on the lights. I didn't want to see the face masks we had used, the silk pajamas laid out for a sleepover that was now a funeral, or the photos of us pinned to my vanity. I just collapsed onto the floor, my back against the door, and let the first sob rip through me.It was a primitive, ugly sound. It wasn't the "pretty" crying you see in movies. It was the sound of a foundation cracking.I didn't move from the floor f

  • Can I ride you, Luca?....Craving my best friend’s brother   Chapter 87: I had the TALK with Hannah

    Emma’s POVThe sun rose over the neighborhood with a clinical, uncaring brightness. I had slipped out of the Carter mansion before the first maid had even begun the morning rounds, my heart feeling like a bruised fruit in my chest. Walking across the dew-slicked lawn to my own house, I felt the heavy transition from the "haunted" halls of the Carters back to the sterile safety of the Reed's residence.I spent the morning in my room, staring at the ceiling. The chess board of my life had become too crowded.Hannah loved me with a purity that made me feel like a traitor. Sophie held a digital noose around my neck. Mia, silent but watchful, knew the depths of my indiscretion. And Luca... Luca was a man drowning in a white-tie obligation, his eyes screaming for help even as his hands were forced to hold Sophie’s.Hannah had asked me out—not just as a friend, but with the hope of something more—and I had left her hanging in the balance. I realized then that I couldn't keep the "Good Girl"

  • Can I ride you, Luca?....Craving my best friend’s brother   Chapter 86: Luca and Hannah Interrupted the Date

    Emma’s POVThe wind at the "End of the World" howled with a renewed ferocity, as if the cliffside itself was trying to drown out the explosive silence between us. Ethan’s hand was still a hot, possessive weight on my arm, and Luca’s eyes were fixed on that point of contact with such intensity I expected Ethan’s sleeve to catch fire.Hannah stepped forward, her face a mask of weary frustration. To her, this wasn't a battle for my soul; it was just another episode of her brother’s increasingly erratic behavior."Luca, stop it! You’re being a total caveman!" Hannah shouted over the wind, her voice snapping the tension like a dry branch. She marched right up to her brother and shoved his shoulder. "What is wrong with you? Just because you’re suddenly 'engaged' and stressed about the merger doesn't mean you get to hunt Emma down and dictate who she watches the sunset with! You’re embarrassing me, and you’re scaring her."Luca’s jaw worked, his teeth grinding so hard I could hear it. He did

  • Can I ride you, Luca?....Craving my best friend’s brother   Chapter 85: I Went on a Date with Ethan

    Emma’s POVThe roar of Ethan’s convertible was the sound of a temporary, fragile freedom. As the wind whipped my hair into a tangled halo of dark silk, I felt the heavy, suffocating atmosphere of the Carter-Reed property line recede. For the first time in days, the air didn't smell like sandalwood oil or old money; it smelled like salt, pine, and the open road.Ethan was a force of nature behind the wheel. He drove with a one-handed ease, his other hand frequently reaching across the center console to squeeze my knee or pat my hand. He was vibrating with a boyish, unadulterated joy that felt like an insult to the complexity of my grief. To him, this was a date. To me, this was a counter-insurgency.Ethan didn’t just take me for a drive; he took me on a curated tour of his social kingdom. We pulled into the main village square, a picturesque strip of cobblestone and high-end boutiques where the local elite spent their afternoons."Hey, Miller! Check it out!" Ethan shouted, waving at a

  • Can I ride you, Luca?....Craving my best friend’s brother   Chapter 84: Revenge or Jealousy?

    Emma’s POVThe walk across the manicured lawns separating the Carter estate from our new home felt like a march toward a firing squad. My legs were heavy, the silk of my borrowed robe swishing against my skin—a stinging reminder of the skin I had shared with a man who was now, for all intents and purposes, someone else fiancé."Mr. and Mrs. Carter, thank you for the hospitality," I had managed to choke out, my voice a hollow shell of itself. "Hannah, I’ll... I’ll text you."I didn't wait for them to respond. I didn't look at Sophie’s predatory, triumphant grin, and I certainly didn't look at Luca. I fled.The gravel of my own driveway was crunching under my sandals when the sound of heavy, rhythmic footsteps behind me made my heart stop. I didn't have to turn around. I knew the weight of his stride. I knew the way the air shifted when he was near."Emma! Stop!"Luca’s voice was a ragged command. He caught up to me just as I reached my front door, his hand shot out, slamming against th

  • Can I ride you, Luca?....Craving my best friend’s brother   Chapter 83: Almost Caught Again and Luca’s Engagement to Sophie

    Emma’s POVThe handle turned with a agonizingly slow creak."Luca, under the bed!" I hissed, my voice a frantic, silent vibration.In a blur of desperate motion, Luca rolled off the silk sheets. He didn't have time to grab his shirt; he scrambled beneath the heavy mahogany frame just as the door swung open. I threw myself back against the pillows, pulling the navy duvet up to my chin, my heart hammering so hard I was certain the headboard was vibrating.Hannah stepped in, silhouetted by the dim hallway light. She looked small in her oversized sleep tee, her hair mussed from sleep, clutching a stuffed bear she’d probably had since she was five."Em?" she whispered, her voice thick with the remnants of a dream. "Are you awake?""Yeah," I managed to choke out, my voice sounding like it had been dragged through gravel. "Yeah, Han. I'm up."She walked further into the room, and I felt the bed shift as she sat on the edge—right above where Luca was currently pinned to the floor. I held my b
