~~SLOANE~~

***

It’s strange how you can go through ten years of your life knowing someone exists but not caring about that existence, and then one day, you meet them, and suddenly, they’re all you think about.

You start wondering where they are, if some girl is looking at them the wrong way, what kind of evil they’re up to—because let’s be honest, I’m not deluding myself into believing Knox is out there doing anything noble. Probably intimidating someone into silence or convincing a public figure to break a law or two.

It’s Friday. Barely five days since he took me in the shower, and here I am, mentally spiraling. Wondering when I’ll get to lie beside him again, pretending to resist while he seduces the resistance right out of me. When he’ll bury himself inside me and silence every logical thought in my brain. God, I’m losing it.

I'm not going to be one of those needy, clingy girlfriends who can’t get enough of their men. Their very busy men. I’m not.

But it’s hard to stay grounde

  • Craving The Wrong Brother   CHAPTER 083: Mrs. Hartley

    From the direction of Hunter’s gaze, I know he’s talking about Serena.I move fast.My heels clack across the asphalt as I walk briskly toward her. I don’t wait. I grab her arm.“Heyyy,” Serena squeals. “What the hell? Not even a hello, and you’re dragging me away?”“Just walk,” I mutter.She stumbles for a second but regains her stride. Quickly, I look behind us to see that Hunter hasn't moved from his position. There's a weird look in his eyes. “Who was that?” Serena says. “The guy you were talking to.”“A crazy son of a bitch.”Serena lifts a brow. “Your boss? I know people only talk about their bosses that way.”I want to deny it, say he’s just an arrogant bastard with a god complex and an old grudge. But if what Hunter said earlier is true, then yeah. He might actually be my boss soon. The thought makes my stomach tighten.We reach my car. I dig out the keys and unlock it. Serena stops short, blinking.“Whose car is this?”“Mine.”She whistles. “That’s an expensive-looking BMW.

  • Craving The Wrong Brother   CHAPTER 081: Ciao, Delilah

    Her body trembles. Her eyes flutter. Her hips jerk as I bring her to the edge. I hold her there, my grip on her neck tightening. I know I'm pushing her to the limit. But I also know she's safe with me, that I won't let her go too far. And then, with a final cry, she lets go. "That's it,” I say. “Let me feel you fall apart." Her eyes roll into her head, showing only the whites, and her body begins to shake violently. Those inner muscles squeeze me with a force that's almost painful, but in the best way possible. Her body arches against mine, her back curving beautifully. She's too far gone to fight the sensation of blood rushing downward, the waves of near-death euphoria. "Fuck, Sloane," I hiss as it feels like my dick is being mashed. Her body continues to milk me, the feeling driving me wild. I can't hold back any longer. I pound into her again and again, chasing my own release. With a final, deep thrust, I let go, filling her completely. Just as I loosen my hold around her ne

  • Craving The Wrong Brother   CHAPTER 080: Breathe Me In

    She moans in surprise, and the sound is loud and sexy, a stimulating song to my ears. And then she pushes her back further out, rubbing against my erection, grinding into it like she wants to punish me as well. I palm the red spot, fingers tracing the heat I left behind. She twitches at the contact—part pain, part invitation—and it nearly unravels me. My other hand reaches up and sinks into her hair, fisting just enough to make her gasp as I pull her upright. Her spine curves against my chest, and I wrap my arm around her neck, forearm pressing just beneath her throat, locking her in. We stare at ourselves in the mirror. Her eyes are wild. Chest heaving. Back still arched in anticipation. “Look at yourself,” I whisper against her ear. “Look how wrecked you already are. And I haven’t even touched you properly yet.” I kiss her cheek, soft and brief. Then bring my palm down again. She moans, pushing back, rubbing against me in the same rhythm as my strikes. “Again,” she begs, vo

  • Craving The Wrong Brother   CHAPTER 079: The First Time We Had Séx

    To know you have control over a woman's body is the most arousing thing a man can wish for. Especially a woman like Sloane Mercer—this wild, sharp-tongued, chaotic miracle with fire in her voice and daggers in her eyes. The kind of woman who’d bite the hand that feeds her if it touched her the wrong way but still kneel at your feet if you said the right words in the right tone. She kneels now, squinting without her glasses, her mouth slightly parted. “I want you to do nice things to me, Knox,” she says. “I’m still your good girl.” God. She doesn’t even know what she’s doing to me. The ache in my chest fights the ache in my groin, and the war is evenly matched. I try not to smile, try to stay in the role of the man who’s still punishing her, the man who hasn’t yet decided whether to forgive or devour. But her body makes it impossible to think clearly. My eyes betray me, dragging across the hard peaks of her nipples, dark and tight, tempting. I imagine them with silver piercings th

  • Craving The Wrong Brother   CHAPTER 078: Inside You

    Sloane rolls her eyes but with a smile on her face, and then she disappears into the living room.I stay there, thinking about the things she said, about her mom being pregnant. When I try to picture the woman I saw at the barbecue with a protruded stomach, I end up seeing Sloane's face instead. Weird. They don't even look that much alike. Those are some of the things your brain does when you're exhausted. I hear Sloane in the living room, moving around. She hums as she works, not a melody I recognize, just an off-key tune that makes me smile.A few minutes later, she enters the bedroom and heads straight to the bathroom. The faucet runs. Cabinet doors creak open, then shut. The sound of her toothbrush buzzing fills the quiet. Water splashes. The lights go off. Then she's back in the room, smelling like peppermint and whatever lotion she uses that always makes me think of vanilla and something green.She grabs a book off her dresser, one with a torn, faded cover. She keeps it tucked

  • Craving The Wrong Brother   CHAPTER 077: No Apology In The World

    Knox is already halfway up the stairs by the time I make it inside the building. He takes the stairs two at a time. I follow fast.At the next landing, he pulls his phone out of his pocket, scrolls quickly, then presses it to his ear.He doesn’t say much. Just a few clipped words. Something about a tow truck. The name Aaron.I don’t need to hear the rest to know what it’s about.He hangs up just as I reach our floor and stands outside my door, shoulders rising and falling fast, like the adrenaline hasn’t worn off yet.When I come up beside him, I notice his knuckles. Red and raw. Blood gathers in the creases. It makes my stomach turn.“You got your key?” he asks.“I left it inside.”“You should always carry it. Or you’ll lock yourself out.”He reaches into his back pocket, pulls out his keycard, and taps it against the lock. The door clicks open. At least now I know how he got in. He made himself a spare.We step inside. The moment we’re in, I turn to him.“Would you really have kept

  • Craving The Wrong Brother   CHAPTER 076: Pound Of Flesh

    Knox is out the door before I can convince him otherwise.I run after him, nearly slipping as I rush down the hallway. He’s already halfway down by the time I make it to the top of the steps.“Knox!” I yell. “Stop!”But he’s not listening. His body is tight with fury, all his restraint long gone.By the time I push through the lobby door, he’s outside, and so is Joe, the night-duty security guard. Joe's hands are braced on his hips, looking like he’s trying to decide whether to intervene or call it in. Knox is already on Finn.His fist connects with Finn’s face, and Finn stumbles back, slamming into the body of Knox’s car with a loud grunt. His casted arm hangs uselessly at his side, and before he can even catch his balance, Knox grabs him by the collar and throws another punch. Then another.The blows are brutal. Unrelenting. Finn’s head snaps back, his body jerking with each hit like a ragdoll.I scream, “Stop! Stop it, Knox, please!”My feet are moving before I register it, crossin

    Jade frowns as though I’m being an inconvenience. “Sloane—”“No. You don’t get to dump all this on me as if it's my fault she left me when I was five. You've just succeeded in making me feel worse than I’ve felt in my entire life.”“Good,” he says. “Maybe you’ll come to your senses.”I glare. “You’re good at making assumptions, right? Then here’s a thought. Maybe my mom married you—a young man—to prove to herself she could do it right this time. Think about that, motherfucker.”Then I turn and walk, not before seeing his face turn to stone.He started a war. He has no idea.I pass a trash can near the lot and lift the bouquet.I’m about to toss it when I spot the envelope tucked beneath the ribbon.I open it. Two papers.One is a small note: ‘Do you have any idea how restless I am, Bunny? Please take my calls before I have to resort to stalking.’The other?A check.Two hundred and twenty thousand dollars. This must be my winnings from the underground fight.I toss the flowers and the
