EZRAN’S POV

I don’t remember exactly when I moved from the floor to the shower, only that at some point the crying had become too much to contain by sitting still, and the water felt like the only thing capable of drowning it out properly.

I sat beneath the shower head fully clothed, my knees were drawn to my chest as cold water ran down my head.

I didn’t know when the crying finally stopped, or when exhaustion finally dragged me into something resembling sleep right there against the tile.

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY — THE LAST STRAW

    EZRAN’S POVWe stumbled inside without breaking apart, Lucian kicking the door shut behind us, his hands framing my face like he was still afraid I might disappear if he let go for even a second.“I’ve been so miserable without you,” he murmured against my lips, punctuating the words with another kiss, slower this time. “Every message unanswered and every call unreturned made me think I had lost you.”“You didn’t lose me.” I clung to the front of his shirt, still shaking slightly. I didn’t think whether it was from the fever or the overwhelming relief of finally being back in his arms.“I just needed time to think. I’m really sorry it took this long.”His hands trailed down to my shoulders, and he suddenly stilled, his brow furrowing as his palm pressed against my forehead properly.“Ezran, you’re burning up.”I forced a smile. “I’m fine.”“You are not fine. It feels like you’re on fire.” Genuine alarm crossed his features now, all traces of the earlier desperate relief hardened. “Wh

Jeanne’s face hovered above me, pale with fear.“Ezran? Oh my God, Ezran, can you hear me?”“Jeanne?” My voice came out cracked and barely recognizable.“You’re burning up. Don’t move, the doctor’s already on his way.”I blinked slightly disoriented, as I took in the unfamiliar softness of my own bed and the damp weight of my hair against the pillow. “What happened?”“You tell me.” Her voice wavered between fur

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN — DISPROVE THE ONLINE PEOPLE

    EZRAN’S POVThe whispers followed me across campus the next morning. First, it was subtle but unmistakable glances that lingered too long, then conversations that dropped slightly whenever I passed and then, some open snarky remarks.The particular awareness of being watched that way made my skin crawl uncomfortably.“Ignore them,” Erik muttered, falling into step beside me, guilt still evident on his face. “Nobody actually knows anything concrete. They’re just relying on speculation.”“Speculation is bad enough, Erik.”“I know and I’m really sorry, Ezran. If I hadn’t dragged you out that night—”“It’s not your fault, Erik.” I quickly cut in.“It kind of is. I basically orchestrated this entire disaster because I thought getting drunk would help you feel better.”I sighed aloud. “You were trying to help, so I don’t blame you for any of this.”“You should, though. A good friend would’ve stopped you from posting that story in the first place.”“A good friend doesn’t control everything I

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN — DAMAGE CONTROL

    EZRAN’S POVI watched the video three times before I finally set the phone down, hands trembling, panic clawing up my throat.It wasn't explicit—no kiss, nothing overtly incriminating—just me, clearly drunk, shouting things at Lucian that sounded far more intimate than any stepbrother relationship should warrant, followed by comments beneath the video multiplying by the second.[This looks way too personal for stepbrothers, lol.][Why does he call him controlling like they’re dating?? Just saying 😎][Finally after how many years of maintaining a facade online, the Banks family drama finally leaks.😹][Something’s off about their interaction.][Why does the CEO of Paragon Gaming look like a jealous boyfriend?(Just saying too😎)][He called this mom dumb and his stepbrother controlling? Who was the one to say Ezran Banks has a good attitude?][Remember when Lucian said Ezran was the most attractive Banks? I think something was going on between them already!][He punched a stranger beca

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN — A COLD WAR LEADS TO SOMETHING ELSE

    My eyes blurred with tears and my fingers were shaking uncontrollably, as I struggled to type on the keyboard.[Me: He never told me any of this.][Jeanne: I figured he didn’t. I’m so sorry, Ezran. I really didn’t mean for you to find out this way.]I set the phone down, my mind racing through the implications. Lucian had bought my mother’s compliance and had essentially insured our relationship with an actual, tangible collateral. It was more like some kind of business contract rather than a genuine agreement between people who trusted each other.The thought of it unnerved me and before I could fully process it, I was already dialing his number.He picked up on the second ring, his voice slightly tired and husky. “Baby? Is everything okay?”“Shares, Lucian.” I said flatly, not hiding my reason for calling. “You offered my mom company shares—no, insurance, apparently—in case this relationship damages her marriage or hurts me somehow.”Silence stretched on the other end of the line f

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN — THE ARRANGEMENT

    EZRAN’S POVReturning to campus after the confinement felt really exhilarating.“There he is,” Erik announced dramatically the moment I walked into the lecture hall, throwing both arms around me. “The released prisoner finally shows up.”His actions didn’t pass unnoticed by a thousand and one eyes.“Spare me, Erik.” I groaned embarrassedly, as I detached from the hug and dropped into the vacant seat.“I’m just telling the truth. You must feel happy to show up in school again.”“Of course!” I answered, wide-eyed.“By the way, Rowan nearly had a breakdown covering both your workloads as webmasters.”“I know how he must have felt.” I winced as the image of a near-to-mental collapse image of Rowan popped up in my head. “But I already apologized to him this morning.”Erik folded his arms, smirking. “Did he forgive you?”“I guess. After all, I bribed him by agreeing to do all the work for the week, and also agreed to show up at his eSports tournament next week.”Erik grinned, dropping into

    The wedding dragged to an end and I heaved out in relief. Dragging my already tired limbs out of the hall, I dialed my best friend’s digits via video call.“Yo, Ez.” Erik’s caramel skin glowed as his face appeared on the screen. “Happy married life to you.”The heck?“My mom got married, not me.” I
