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?”

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother (An Erotic Billionaire Romance   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 (An Erotic Billionaire Romance   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

    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 (An Erotic Billionaire Romance   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 (An Erotic Billionaire Romance   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

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother (An Erotic Billionaire Romance   Chapter 107: Nothing Close To It

    By the time my car finally rolls through the heavy iron gates of the DeWitt estate the following evening, the last bit of daylight is completely gone, leaving the sky pitch black.The driver brings the car to a smooth stop right beneath the grand front portico. I barely have time to reach for the door handle before the butler is already pulling it open from the outside. “Good evening, Miss Clemson,” he says, stepping back smoothly.“Good evening,” I reply.I step out into the cool evening air and immediately smooth down the fabric of my dress—honestly, more out of sheer habit than actual nerves. Or maybe a little bit of both.The butler softly shuts the car door behind me, every move practiced and polite. “They're waiting for you in the family dining room, Miss.”“Thank you.” I give him a quick, polite smile.The second I walk through the front door, the sheer quiet of the mansion hits me. It’s almost creepy how silent it is in here tonight, definitely not what I was expecting from a

    MEEKA'S POV::My soul has yet to return to my body. I’m frozen, not moving or breathing, just staring straight ahead, my trembling hands clinging to the wheel as if letting go would send us tumbling into space.The noise of the cheering crowd finally breaks through, and I’m jolt

    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

It’s not just the realization; it’s the memory that slams into the back of my mind immediately after.My fingers curl into m
