MEEKA'S POV::

I excuse myself as soon as I can without making it obvious I’m running. My legs feel unsteady as I push back from the table and murmur something about needing the restroom. Nathaniel gives me a quick, concerned glance, his hand brushing my wrist like he’s trying to anchor me there, but I slip away before he can say anything more.

The guilt almost hits me right away, but it leaves before it can even form.

Honestly, I'm still trying to understand his s

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother   Chapter 113: Sealed Forever

    NATHANIEL'S POV:: I sink back into the heavy, broken-in leather of my desk chair, just staring blankly at the sea of financial reports spread out in front of me. The pen keeps spinning rhythmically between my knuckles, over and over, while my phone buzzes off the hook. It’s gotta be at least the sixth time it's gone off since I sat down, but I just leave it face down on the desk. None of that stuff even matters right now. My brain is still completely stuck on last night’s dinner.Specifically, that exact second Grandma set her water glass down on the wood, looked clear across the long dining table, and told Slade to head up to the study to fetch her that old bottle of Bordeaux.I let out a low, slow breath that rattles in my chest.Up until that point, everything had actually been going shockingly well. For once in her life, my grandmother had somehow managed to take what should’ve been an agonizingly stiff, formal family dinner and turned it into something almost normal. She genuine

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother   Chapter 112: We're Done

    SLADE'S POV:: I keep my hands shoved deep in my pockets and force myself not to turn around. Judging by the dead silence stretching out behind me, she doesn't have a clue what to say either.The study isn't even that far down the hall, but tonight every single step feels like a mile.When I finally hit the doorway, I push the door open and clear my throat. “It’s probably up on the top shelf somewhere,” I say, my voice barely above a whisper.Silence. Not a word from her.I step into the room, and a second later, I hear Meeka’s footsteps right behind me.Then comes the sound of the door clicking shut.I freeze in my tracks. For some stupid reason, that tiny metallic sound rings through the room way louder than it should.Slowly, I turn back to face her.She’s leaning with her back pressed right against the frame, hands loosely crossed in front of her. Her expression is totally blank—a wall I can’t read, no matter how hard I try.I just stand there staring at her, and she stares right

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother   Chapter 111: And You Sweet Girl

    For a split second, the noise in the room fades out completely. I see her chest expand with a sharp, ragged intake of air. She’s bracing herself, clearly waiting for me to take full advantage of this. Waiting for me to slide my fingers over hers, to give her that obnoxious, arrogant grin she claims to hate so much.Instead, I pull my hand back slowly and smoothly without saying a word. There's no trace of a smirk, and neither did I lift my eyes to meet hers. I just pull back and rest my hands neatly in my lap.“Go ahead,” I murmur softly.She stares at me, something complex and completely unreadable swimming in her eyes.“Thank you,” she says, her voice barely above a whisper.I give her a subtle, polite nod, keeping my eyes fixed entirely elsewhere. But I can literally feel the shift in the air around us—the sudden, shocked stillness radiating off her entire body.Because this isn't the Slade DeWitt she’s used to handling. This isn't the loud, boundary-pushing menace who’s spent the

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother   Chapter 110: I Really Do

    SLADE'S POV::That knot in my gut is still sitting heavy, refusing to shift, as Grandma reaches out and wraps her fingers around the stem of her wineglass.“All of you,” she says, sweeping a look around the long dining table like she hasn't just tossed me headfirst into the most awkward, suffocating dynamic imaginable. “Are we seriously going to spend the rest of the night staring at each other, or can someone remind me why I went through the trouble of inviting you all here?” A couple of tight, polite smiles flicker around the table.My father lets out this quiet, low cough that sounds suspiciously like a laugh, though I know better than to call him out on it.Grandma catches it anyway. She points her fork directly at him across the centerpieces. “Don’t think I missed that.”He doesn't even flinch. “Missed what?”“You nearly smiled.”“I was doing no such thing.”“You were.”“I assure you, I wasn’t.”She narrows her eyes, giving him a long glare, but he just sits there completely unb

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother   Chapter 109: Not Going To End Well

    SLADE'S POV::The second I step through the heavy wooden doors and into the dining room, my heart slams into my ribs. Because there on the dining table, is no other person than her.God, she's actually here.For one completely reckless, traitorous second, every piece of self-control I’ve managed to piece together over the last few days just crumbles to ash. Every single instinct in my body screams at me to ignore the promises I made to myself, walk straight across the slippery floor, pull her out of that chair, and make her listen to me.I want to drag her somewhere quiet and lay it all out on the line. I want to tell her every single damning truth. I want to tell her that Nathaniel is a lying bastard who manipulated almost every piece of information she thinks she knows about me. I want to tell her that she got it all wrong. All of it. And more than anything, I want to tell her that I haven’t slept a full hour since the night she walked out of my apartment, tears streaming down her

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother   Chapter 108: He'd Looked At Me At All

    I don't know what I was expecting coming into tonight, but I’d pictured something painfully stiff and formal. I had this whole image in my head of everyone sitting up with perfect posture, using their best manners, making fake polite small talk, and keeping every single thing impeccably in place.Instead, they're casually roasting each other, cutting in mid-sentence, laughing out loud, and picking the most ridiculous little arguments over absolutely nothing.“So, tell me,” Marissa says, tilting her head and taking me in all over again.“Yeah?”“Do you cook?”My eyebrows shoot up instantly. Why on earth would she ask me that right now? Out of the thousands of things she could have brought up, she goes with cooking?“I... well...” I stumble over my words, completely caught off guard.Nathaniel sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. “Grandmother, please.”“What?” she asks, acting all innocent.“I just think there might be a few slightly more relevant things to ask her right now.”“The

    The drive to Meeka’s place is even quieter than the night itself.She’s slumped in the passenger seat, buried in the jacket I practically forced onto her the second she stopped shaking enough to walk. Her hands are tucked deep into the sleeves, like she’s trying to disappear inside the fabric. Sin

    "Meeka."Hearing my real name stops me in my tracks.Even though I’m still angry with him, I dislike that he called me that. I wish he understood just how much I’ve come to hate it when he uses my name instead of the other one he calls me, and hearing it now only tightens something in my chest.I l
