I froze on the spot, barely saying a word.

I could feel his breath on my cheeks and I quickly bit my lips in tension.

“You’re not saying anything, kiddo.” he asked, straightening himself to look at me. “Cat got your tongue?”

I trembled, my palms shaking beside me as I raised my head to his height.

Gawd, I hate this. I freaking hate this.

He chuckled lightly and moved backwards, turning on his heels and walking out of the door. I immediately released the breath I didn't realize I was holding.

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER SIXTY THREE — FIRST PLACE 

    EZRAN'S POVBy 5:30 AM, my alarm blared. I rolled off the bed and groaned, Luciana meowed behind me.I stared blankly at my reflection in the mirror while brushing my teeth. Dark circles, blank and hollow eyes. “Perfect,” I mumbled.Luciana sat on the sink staring at me judgmentally with those pretty eyes of hers.“You don’t understand the struggle,” I accused softly. “Being a final year student in college whose project was rescheduled is traumatizing.She blinked once, not understanding what I said.Exactly.After dressing up, I grabbed my laptop bag and of course, my daughter, and rushed downstairs.The dining room lights were already on. Lucian was already sitting, dressed in his usual style. His eyes lifted briefly from his tablet the moment I entered.“Didn’t sleep well?”“Kind of. I stayed up thinking of how the presentation would go.” I answered honestly.Lucian finally lowered his tablet completely and looked at me properly.“I already told you that you’ll do fine.”“You’re o

    EZRAN'S POVI stared at the announcement on my phone screen and groaned.Rowan frowned immediately. “What happened?”“They changed the defense time.”“What?” he paused. “But that’s not a problem.”“It is a problem because it’s now slated for seven in the morning.” Rowan slowly removed his glasses. “You’re joking.”“I wish I was.”He snatched his own phone immediately and opened the school forum. Barely two seconds later, his expression darkened violently.“That professor is a monster.”I nodded in full agreement.“Seven AM?” I repeated in disbelief. “Who defends projects by seven in the morning? I can’t even meet up with 9 AM classes!”Rowan groaned and dragged his hand down his face. “I’m beginning to suspect that this school hates happiness.”Honestly.Our presentation wasn’t even something you could freestyle. It involved live interface demonstrations, synced prototypes, backend explanations, data flow structures, user simulation—God. I suddenly wanted to disappear from existence.

    Something priceless but free? Lucian’s voice stayed low beside my ear, calm and smooth enough to ruin my mental stability completely. I forgot how to breathe.“How about something priceless in worth but free in cost?”My fingers tightened instinctively around Luciana’s carrier.He couldn’t possibly mean—No, absolutely not. But wait, maybe yes.Oh God. What was I thinking?I blinked rapidly and stepped back so fast I nearly walked into the staircase. Lucian watched me quietly, one brow lifting slightly.“What?” he asked with mock innocence.“You know exactly what.”“Do I?” he asked again. His eyes flickered downward briefly before returning to my face. “Your ears are red.”Fucking traitorous body.I looked away immediately, pretending to focus on Luciana instead.“My cat is sleepy.”“Not your cat. ‘Our cat’,” he corrected calmly.I nearly combusted on the spot. Before I could reply, footsteps suddenly echoed from upstairs.“Ezraaan—”Jeanne froze halfway down the staircase the second

    I blinked once, then scratched the back of my neck awkwardly.“Mn?”Oh, Ezran! You’re finished.“You don’t have to if you’re uncomfortable,” she added quickly.“No, no, that’s not it.” I laughed softly. “I’m just… not really looking for anything right now.”Her expression fell slightly, but she still smiled politely. “That’s okay.”“I’m sorry.”“It’s fine.” She laughed awkwardly and adjusted the straps of her bags. “At least I tried.”“That’s brave honestly.”“Thanks, I think.”She waved lightly before walking away quickly. The second she disappeared, Erik sprinted toward me dramatically.“OH MY GOD.”“Please lower your voice.”“You rejected a pretty and tall woman because your heart belongs to a cold billionaire.”I nearly choked. “Keep your voice down, you Judas!”He clutched his chest theatrically, not having enough of the joke.“Lucian Banks, the homewrecker you are.”I shot him a horrified look and covered his mouth with my palms, glancing around quickly.“Are you trying to get me

    The lecture eventually came to an end forty minutes later, and the moment the professor stepped out of the class, the entire hall exploded into noise.“Freedom!” someone yelled from the back, earning a large barrage of laughter.Erik stretched beside me dramatically. “I swear, if that man had spoken for five more minutes, I would’ve started seeing my ancestors.”I snorted softly and packed my laptop into my bag. My phone buzzed again and I swiped on the screen briefly, my fingers opening a group chat interface.[MELINDA: Good afternoon, guys.]Almost immediately, another notification dropped.[JEANNE: Melinda finally replied, omg 😭😭😭][ERIK: Okay, hi???][JEANNE: MELINDAAAAAA 💔💔💔]I stared at Jeanne’s text and almost winced at her image in my mind. I bet she’s screaming her hair off.I paused for a while, stared at my open keypad and typed a brief message.[Are you okay?]There was a long pause, long enough for me to frown at the screen. Then, the typing icon floated next to her

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT — WHAT TO GIVE TO HIM 

    I stared at my phone’s screen again and grimaced.Did he actually take my statement to heart? When I said I owed him, it was just for talking sake. But come to think of it, if I really owed him, what was I going to pay him back with?I quickly sent him a text.WHAT DO YOU WANT? A DATE? LUNCH OR WHAT?He replied almost immediately.LUCIAN: SOMETHING DIFFERENT, EZRAN. THINK.Something different? I couldn’t think of anything, so I stared at the typing icon floating on my screen.What was he typing again?LUCIAN: COME HOME EARLY. YOUR DAUGHTER HAS A VET SESSION IN THE EVENING.Oh, that. The reality of being a cat dad was already dawning on me. Raising Lu required time and energy. Well, I can provide both.I pushed my chair back and stood up, rubbing Lu’s fur softly.“Alright, my feline queen. I’m off to school.”She blinked once and turned away, frowning. I laughed softly, rubbing her fur again.“I’ll be back to take you to the vet.”I rushed off before her purrs could draw me back.….W

    The room went still. Not gradually, instantly.The music was still blasting from the speakers, bodies were still moving across the dance floor, glasses still clinked, but the space around us suddenly felt different — because Lucian Banks had just entered the room.The three idiots in front of me tur

    A dozen eyes turned toward me and I paled instantly.I choked. I just choked because of Lucian's statement! “Are you okay?” Mom asked, leaning closer to my seat.“I—I’m fine,” I said, gulping down a full glass of water.Gawd, this is so embarrassing.“You don't look fine.” “I am.”The silence str

    I didn’t answer him. For a second, I couldn’t.My brain stalled completely. Like everything inside me had just short-circuited at once.Did he just ask me that? Yes, he did.And did I find it hot? Yes, I did.I could swear I was gradually losing my sanity. I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly dry.

    Avoiding Lucian became my new full-time hobby.Unfortunately, the Banks mansion was too large for comfort but somehow still too small to escape him.By the time I returned from school that afternoon, the house had settled into its usual quiet luxury.
