Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN — AN ULTIMATUM
EZRAN’S POVI couldn’t enjoy the rest of the ball, so I just returned to my room to sleep, midway to the event. Unfortunately, I couldn't even find sleep.Mom summoned me to her private study the following morning. She was already seated behind the desk when I entered, dressed plainly now, none of the golden elegance from the night before remaining.Instead, red eyes, dark circles and big eye bags sat pronounced beneath her eyes that suggested she hadn’t slept at all, probably crying throughout the night.“Sit down, Ezran.”I did, my hands folded tightly in my lap. I was unable to meet her gaze properly. Instead, I drooped my head downwards.“I want you to understand something,” she began. “What I saw on that terrace isn’t something I can simply forget or ignore, Ezran. It doesn’t matter how I feel about it personally. What matters is what happens if anyone else finds out.”“Mom—”“Let me finish.” Her hands, folded neatly on the desk, trembled slightly despite her composed tone. “Robe

EZRAN’S POV“Mom!”I dropped to my knees beside her before I had even fully processed what had happened, Lucian a half-second behind me, both of us reaching for her at once.“Aubrey—” Lucian’s voice had lost every trace of its usual composure. His fingers pressed urgently against her wrist, checking for a pulse. “She’s breathing. Just fainted.”“We need to get her inside. Somewhere private.” My hands were shaking as I helped him lift her, careful and urgent, the golden dress pooling awkwardly against my arms. “If anyone sees her like this—”“I know.”We moved quickly, cutting through a side entrance rather than the main terrace doors, avoiding the ballroom entirely as we carried her toward the nearest private study. Lucian kicked the door shut behind us the moment we were inside, laying her gently onto the study’s leather sofa while I fumbled for my phone, hands trembling too badly to properly unlock the screen.“Call the family doctor,” Lucian instructed, already loosening the colla
Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINE — SHOCK
EZRAN’S POVThe Banks mansion had been transformed entirely by the time guests began arriving Saturday evening.Black and gold draped through every hall, an orchestra tuning quietly in the ballroom and staff moving with practiced precision beneath crystal chandeliers.“You look terrified,” Jeanne whispered, adjusting my navy jacket’s lapel as we waited near the staircase for our cue to descend.“I am terrified, Jeanne.”“You’ll be fine.” she grinned and patted my left shoulder. “Just smile, shake hands with everyone, avoid Robert’s business associates unless you’re being directly addressed, avoid mixing with the crowd and try not to stare at Lucian too obviously across the room.”“I don’t stare.”“You absolutely do, Ezran. There’s no point in arguing.”Well, she was right. I didn’t have time to argue further before Mom appeared, resplendent in a golden dress, ushering us toward the staircase.“Smile, everyone,” she instructed. “Tonight matters to this family.”What the fuck?At this p
Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT — FEELINGS OF WORRY
EZRAN’S POVMonday Morning, 9:56am“You’re glowing, bestie,” Erik announced the moment I sat down beside him in the lecture hall.I squinted at him like he had suddenly sprouted a second head. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”“You absolutely do.” He leaned closer, lowering his voice conspiratorially. “How was the birthday? Did you drive Lucian crazy just like I taught you? I want some steamy details, you know.”“Good Lord, Erik! We’re in class for fuck’s sake.”“Class hasn’t started yet. We have exactly four minutes, so talk fast.”I glanced around, ensuring no one was paying particular attention, before finally relenting slightly. “It went well. Really well, actually.”“Define ‘really well’, Ezran Banks.”“Erik.” I let out a groan, rubbing my already aching head.“I need specifics, Ezran. I helped orchestrate the entire sexcapades operation from the sidelines with my wisdom and guidance. At least, I deserve a full report.”I rolled my eyes, though I couldn’t fully suppress m
Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN — SOMETHING IN HER EYES
EZRAN’S POV“I drove up to the countryside early this morning for some fresh air,” Lucian said smoothly, without missing a single beat. “The city’s been suffocating lately.”Mom’s gaze lingered on him a moment longer than necessary before she nodded, returning her attention to her book. “I see. Well, you should rest properly. You have the shareholders’ breakfast on Monday, don’t you?”“Robert told you.”“Yes. He also mentioned it’s an important one. Make sure you’re well-rested for it.”“Yes, it is. We want to expand our gaming markets into the North and East African region.”“That’s great.” she said, grinning. “Good luck.”The exchange was perfectly ordinary and polite, and yet something about the careful precision of it made my skin prickle uncomfortably. I excused myself not long after, climbing the stairs with Lucian keeping a respectable distance behind me. Neither of us spoke until we had rounded the corner toward my room.“That was strange,” I murmured once we were out of ear
Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIX — LOOKING TIRED
EZRAN’S POVI woke slowly, sunlight filtering warm through the curtains, Lucian’s arm draped heavy across my waist, his breathing slow and even against the back of my neck.For a long moment, I simply lay there, cataloguing the details of last night, the steady warmth of him pressed against my back.“What are you thinking of, baby?” Lucian murmured against my shoulder, his voice rough with sleep.Oh. He was awake.“You.” I said as-a-matter-of-factly.“You’re so sweet, precious.” He pressed a lazy kiss to my shoulder blade, his right arm tightening around me. “How are you feeling?”I considered the question properly, taking note of the pleasant ache settled through my limbs, the warmth still humming quietly beneath my skin. “Good. Really good, actually.”“No regrets?”“None.” I turned in his arms to face him properly, finding his gray eyes soft and unguarded in the morning ray. “So… is this the best birthday gift you could’ve asked for?”“You’ve officially ruined every birthday that c

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
