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.

Since we left that stretch of road, she hasn’t said a word, just the occasional, shaky hitch in her breath.

I keep catching myself looking over at her. She’s staring out the window, but her eyes are vaca

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother (An Erotic Billionaire Romance   Chapter 103: He Really Isn't Coming

    I rub my hand over my forehead, trying to force some actual focus into my brain. “Come on, Meeka. Just do your job. Read the stupid report, check the fabric designs sent , think about the wedding, think about literally anything else.I manage to keep my eyes on the screen for maybe thirty seconds tops, before my mind just completely drifts away again. And it doesn't go to flower arrangements, or the seating chart, or even the rehearsal dinner. It doesn't even go to Nathaniel. Instead, it goes straight back to the one place I’ve been desperately trying to avoid for the past one week.Slade.My fingers freeze right over the keyboard. For a complete one week, the guy wouldn't leave me alone. He was calling me non-stop. Morning, afternoon, late at night when I was trying to sleep. My phone was constantly lighting up with voicemails, texts, paragraphs of explanations, literally anything he could think of just to beg me to meet up with him.And then, now there's nothing. Just sudden, total

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother (An Erotic Billionaire Romance   Chapter 102: What Look

    MEEKA'S POV::“And honestly, if we don't get the approval from CK by Friday, the entire launch is going to be pushed back. I was thinking we could bypass them and go straight to accounting, but I wanted to check if you had the—"The voice is just background noise. A dull, rhythmic sound of the office AC and the distant clacking of keyboards that do not register at all, are all I can hear from a distance.“Meeka? You layout the budget for that yet? Meeka....? Meeka!”I stay frozen, staring straight at the glowing computer screen while my fingers hover totally uselessly over the keys. The rows and columns are just a massive, blurry jumble at this point. Quarterly projections, expense reports, and designs that need an approval stamp by the end of the day. It all just looks like a wall of meaningless black text. I realize I've been staring at the exact same sentence for a solid fifteen minutes now, and if someone asked me right this second, I couldn't tell them a single thing it actually

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother (An Erotic Billionaire Romance   Chapter 101: Aren't They

    She doesn't argue with me. She just leans forward a little, her voice dropping to a calm, quiet tone. “What reality is that?”I let out a long, slow breath, rubbing my palms together until they burn. “The reality that there are some things people just shouldn't know about you. Period.”“Why?”“Because once they know...” I let out a dry, bitter laugh that scratches my throat. “They can't unlearn or unsee it. They look at you totally differently from that moment on.”My throat feels tight, like I'm swallowing glass.“They look at you like you're broken.”Evelyn just watches me for a long beat, taking me in. “Has that happened to you before?”I keep my mouth shut. I don't answer her, but then again, I don't really need to. She already knows the answer. Of course she does. She’s been sitting right across from me for every single ugly session since I finally forced myself to start talking. She knows about every nightmare, every sudden panic attack, and every single memory I spent years pr

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother (An Erotic Billionaire Romance   Chapter 100: I Can't Tell Her

    “Managed what?”“I don't know. Getting under my skin. Making me care.” The words sound completely absurd coming out of my mouth, but they’re true. “I've spent my whole life building walls, making sure nobody ever gets close enough to matter, close enough to do any damage.”“And she did.”“Without even trying. That's the maddening part.” I lean back into the chair, tilting my head to stare up at the ceiling molding. “The funny part is, I don't even remember the exact moment it happened. It’s not like a light switch went off.”“It rarely works that way.”“I just... I woke up one day and realized my first instinct wasn't to push her away anymore. Actually, I’ve wanted her around since the very first night I met her, even when I was pretending otherwise. I found myself wanting to know how her day had been. Me, the guy who couldn’t care less about small talk.” A bitter, self-deprecating smile crosses my face. “I always want to hear her complain about her day. I started looking forward to

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother (An Erotic Billionaire Romance   Chapter 099: Still Don't Know How

    I let out a rough, humorless laugh, dragging my hand down the back of my neck. The skin there feels tight, knotted up with the kind of tension that's been building for days.“I was honestly hoping you'd tell me,” I mutter, keeping my eyes fixed somewhere near the floorboards.One corner of Evelyn's mouth lifts just a bit. It’s that familiar, patient expression she always uses when I’m being particularly stubborn.“So you got in your car, drove almost an hour straight into the absolute middle of nowhere, just because you wanted me to explain why you're sitting in my office?”“When you put it like that, yeah, it sounds a little ridiculous.”“It sounds very you, Slade.”That actually earns the ghost of a smile from me. It’s small, and gone almost the exact second it shows up. But she catches it anyway. She always notices everything, no matter how fast I try to hide it.Evelyn doesn't rush to fill the space between us, she never does. Years ago, during my first few sessions, that silence

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother (An Erotic Billionaire Romance   Chapter 098: Didn't Think I'd Be Back Either

    The gravel road off the main highway is just as rough as I remember it. I shift gears, keeping the engine humming low as the tires kick up loose stones along the winding, tree-lined path. It’s completely secluded out here, hidden deep in the woods away from the constant noise of the city. The whole place is intentionally designed to make you feel like you’re escaping the world. Right now, though, it just feels like I’m driving straight toward my own execution.I pass the crooked wooden fence, then the old stone marker right near the bend. Honestly, nothing has changed in the entire year I’ve been gone. The massive oak trees still block out most of the sun, throwing heavy, suffocating shadows across the hood of my car. The exact same neatly trimmed hedges line the brick walkway leading to the front door, and the white-framed windows still overlook the small, empty parking lot. Even the brass plaque mounted beside the entrance catches the morning sunlight exactly the way it used to.I

    SLADE'S POV::I think the alcohol in this bottle is messing with my head right now, because there’s no way I’m seeing who I think I’m seeing.But everything slows down the moment my eyes lock onto her, as if the engines, the shouts, and the music have all been muted at once. It’

    "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
