last update publish date: 2026-03-17 01:32:40

LUCIAN’S POV

The door slammed.

I remained exactly where I was. For several seconds, the room stayed silent. The antiseptic pad was still in my hand.

Ezran had run out of the study as if someone was chasing him. Actually, as if I chased him out.

I looked down at the chair he had been sitting in a moment ago and a smirk curled up on my lips.

The boy walked into my study intending to argue and left looking as if he had seen a ghost.

I placed the antiseptic back into the box and closed it. The cu

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER FORTY THREE — A WORD WITH YOU 

    EZRAN’S POVI shouldn’t have said that. The moment the words left my mouth, I felt a subtle shift in the atmosphere.Lucian didn’t react—not visibly. He never did. But something changed in his expression.“I see.” That was all he said.Just two words but they lingered long after he walked past me and disappeared down the hallway.I remained on the couch, staring at nothing. What exactly did I say wrong?I frowned slightly, replaying the moment again.“He seems nice. I could try having another friend, right?”That sounded normal and even reasonable. So why did it feel like I had crossed a line I didn’t even know existed?I leaned back slowly, running a hand through my hair.“Ridiculous,” I muttered under my breath.Lucian didn’t own me. He didn’t get to feel whatever that was, and yet—I exhaled sharply and sat up straighter.Why did I even care? That was the more annoying question.I grabbed my phone from the table, unlocking it absentmindedly. My fingers hovered over the screen for a

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER FORTY TWO — COULDN'T PRETEND NOT TO NOTICE

    EZRAN’S POVFor a moment, I just stared at him, unsure how to respond to that. Something about the way he said it wasn’t threatening and it wasn’t controlling either. Just certain, like he had already decided something long before I even realized it.I exhaled quietly and looked away. “That’s not reassuring.”Lucian chuckled under his breath. “It’s not supposed to be.”Silence settled between us again, but it felt different this time. Lighter, not like the tense silence we were used to. This one felt almost normal.I leaned back slightly on the bench, wrapping my fingers around the cup of coffee.“You really don’t mind?” I asked after a moment.Lucian glanced at me, brows raised slightly. “Mind what?”“People coming here.”“You’re not people,” he said simply. “You’re you.”I frowned. “That didn’t answer my question.”He sighed softly, like I was being unnecessarily difficult.“You can invite your friends here, Ezran. This house is yours as much as it is mine.”That made me pause. I d

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER FORTY ONE — A VISIT I DIDN’T WANT

    Rowan?I thought I had misheard the maid.Rowan was outside the gate?My spoon clinked softly against the cereal bowl as I set it down.“That can’t be right,” I muttered.The maid shifted slightly, still standing near the doorway.“He said his name is Rowan, sir.”Across the table, Lucian remained silent, his eyes now resting on me with quiet curiosity. I stood up so quickly my chair scraped loudly against the floor.“I’ll handle it.”Without waiting for another word, I walked out of the dining room and headed straight toward the front door.My heart was already beating faster than it should have been.What was Rowan doing here?The moment I stepped outside, the cool morning air hit my face. I walked down the stone path toward the gate, irritation building with every step.Sure enough, Rowan was standing there. He looked completely relaxed, leaning casually against the metal bars as if visiting someone’s mansion early in the morning was the most normal thing in the world.The moment h

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER FORTY — AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR

    EZRAN’S POVThe next morning started earlier than usual.I woke up before my alarm, stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, then rolled out of bed with a quiet groan.For some reason, my brain was already running through everything Rowan and I had discussed the previous day.The app structure, the collaboration feature, the interface design, and Rowan’s endless stream of commentary about literally everything.I rubbed my face.Working with him was different. Not bad, but just different.After getting dressed, I grabbed my bag and headed out for class. The campus was already busy when I arrived. Students filled the walkways, talking loudly, laughing, rushing between buildings.I was halfway across the courtyard when I heard a familiar voice behind me.“Partner!”I stopped walking.A moment later Rowan appeared beside me, slightly out of breath but grinning like usual.“You walk ridiculously fast,” he said.“I’m not a slug.” “That’s not the point.”He fell into step beside me as if we

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER THIRTY NINE — ROWAN LYONS

    EZRAN’S POVBy the time I got home that evening, my brain felt like it had been running a marathon.Rowan talked a lot. Ideas, jokes, random gaming stories, ridiculous suggestions for the project interface—he had an endless supply of energy that I honestly didn’t know how to deal with. I wasn’t used to people like him. Most people either avoided me or spoke to me only when necessary.Rowan, on the other hand, seemed determined to talk enough for the both of us.I dropped my backpack beside my desk and sank into my chair with a long sigh.The house was quiet. For a moment, I just stared at my laptop screen before finally opening my messaging app.If there was anyone who would know something about Rowan Lyons, it would be Erik.I clicked the video call button. The ringing lasted barely two seconds before Erik’s face appeared on the screen. His hair looked like he had just rolled out of bed and his room behind him was an absolute disaster.“Ezrannnn!” he said loudly. “You’re calling me v

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT — NEW DYNAMICS

    EZRAN’S POVI blinked, trying to shake off the slight daze Rowan’s presence had thrown me into. He wasn’t intimidating, not in the way Lucian was. He was effortless easy. Yet that ease came with something else—Confidence, charm, popularity, and all the things I wasn’t used to being around in my own space.“Hey,” Rowan said again, leaning casually against my desk. “I don’t bite. I promise.”His voice was warma and easy, and somehow that instantly put me on edge. I cleared my throat. “Uh… hey.”“You don’t seem thrilled,” he said with a teasing tilt of his head. “Don’t tell me you hate group projects?”I shrugged, trying to hide how tense I felt. “Mmhm.”Rowan laughed out loud.“Dude, group projects are awesome! It’s like having a mini adventure, and I can assure you that we’re gonna crush it. I can feel it.”I almost choked on the thought of how wrong that sounded.Adventure? That was not my experience of group work. My experience was me doing everything while the other person simply e
