The night stretched and dragged for too long. I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling, my eyes burning but refusing to close. Every time I tried, Aveline’s post came back to mind.

I clenched my jaw.

“Why do I even care?” I muttered.

I turned to my side, then my back again, but sleep never came. By the time it finally did, my alarm was already blaring.

….

Morning wasn’t any better. I looked and felt like shit. I tried bathing under a cold shower, but it didn't help. In fact, it made it worse.

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER THIRTY — PLANS CHANGED 

    The night stretched and dragged for too long. I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling, my eyes burning but refusing to close. Every time I tried, Aveline’s post came back to mind.I clenched my jaw.“Why do I even care?” I muttered.I turned to my side, then my back again, but sleep never came. By the time it finally did, my alarm was already blaring.….Morning wasn’t any better. I looked and felt like shit. I tried bathing under a cold shower, but it didn't help. In fact, it made it worse.By the time I got downstairs, Jeanne was already seated, scrolling through her phone with toast in her hand. Charlyn sat beside her, quiet as always, sipping tea. I pulled out a chair and sat.Jeanne raised her head, her eyes narrowing at me.“Wow,” she said slowly. “You look terrible.”I scoffed. “Thank you.” “I’m serious. You look like you barely slept or…” she leaned forward. “Did you even sleep?”“I did.”“Liar,” she said, not believing me.Of course, no one would believe me when I looked an

    The moment it sent, my brain shut down completely. I stared at my phone like it had just betrayed me.“Fuck, what did I just do?” I whispered.No, no, no.I tapped the screen immediately, trying to unsend it but it was already too late. He had seen it!My stomach dropped. “Oh my God.”I dragged my hand down my face, pacing once, no, twice across the room. Then I stopped.“Okay. Okay. It’s fine,” I muttered, nodding to myself like that would fix anything. “It’s just a picture.”A very stupid picture.I was standing beside the bathroom mirror shirtless, dripping in water, my curls slightly covering my eyes. Now, I wasn't just shirtless — I was almost naked. Only a white towel covered my whole body.I groaned, dropping onto the bed face-first.“I’m actually finished.”My phone buzzed. I flipped over so fast that I almost fell off the bed. My heart jumped straight to my throat as I stared at the notification.Don’t open it. My subconscious warned but I opened it anyway.CONTROL FREAK: If

    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 stretched longer than it should have. I felt like ripping my hair off my head.“Lucian dear,” Mom called, breaking the silence. “This is sudden. Did something happen?”“Yes. Something urgent came up at the LA branch.” Lucian answered, his eyes still fixed on me.“Oh.” I mumbled. I didn't even know when it slipped.I pushed my chair backwards and stood up abruptly, looking at their stunned faces.“Uh… I think I'm okay. Goodnight.”I rushed up the stairs and ran into my room, shutting the door tight.“Are you avoiding me too?” I asked myself.No, he wasn't avoiding me. He was going for business.No matter how many times I said this to myself, I couldn't even convince myself. I told myself it was

    EZRAN’S POVMy heart stopped beating when I heard the door click.“Looking for something?” His voice came from behind me.I shut my eyes briefly before turning around.Lucian stood by the door, one hand still resting on the handle. He was already looking at me.God.“I—” I cleared my throat, forcing my voice to stay steady. “My phone.”A flicker passed through his eyes. “I know.”My jaw tightened. “Then I’ll just take it and leave.”I moved closer to him. The closer I got, the tighter the air in my lungs felt.I reached for the door and he grabbed my wrist. His fingers wrapped lightly around my wrist, firm.I froze.“Ezran.”My name sounded different coming from him.I swallowed. “Let go.”“You came into my room,” he said instead.“I came for my phone.”“And you thought you could just walk in and out like nothing happened?”My chest tightened.“There’s nothing to talk about,” I snapped. “It was a mistake.”His grip tightened slightly. “A mistake?” he repeated.I forced a laugh, even th

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER TWENTY SIX — UNFINISHED BUSINESS

    EZRAN'S POV Lucian Banks was kissing me!!!!!I didn't have the time to react because his tongue delved into my mouth and I opened wider. My fingers entered his hair and I grabbed a handful of it, still kissing him back with fervor and zest.Our tongues intertwined and I felt my toes curl under the duvet.Gawd. What in the name of Geez was I doing? I was kissing my stepbrother and I didn't even feel bad about it. Lucian's lips tasted like coffee and mint. I knew he took coffee but I didn't know he took mint too. Mine probably tasted like vodka, whiskey and other drinks I took. The combo felt so complete that I felt I was on cloud nine.Snap!I was snapped out of my reverie by Lucian. He pulled his lips away from mine and took a few steps backward, standing at the foot of the bed.His eyes roamed on the floor as he fiddled with his collar and straightened his shirt wrists band.“Good night.” he mumbled under his breath and walked briskly out of the door.I let out the breath I didn't

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE — COLLISION

    EZRAN’S POVThe noise came back first, distant and muffled, then I heard it clearly.“Get your hands off him.”The voice cut through everything. Low, cold, familiar and surprisingly soothing.That voice didn’t belong in this chaos, not in this suffocating space filled with strangers and danger. For a second, I thought I imagined it—my mind reaching for something familiar to hold on to as everything spun out of control. But no, it was real. It was him. Lucian.My eyes struggled to focus. The room tilted, shapes blurring into shadows. I could barely keep my head up, but I could recognize that voice from anywhere, and somehow, that single voice cut through the haze faster than anything else.Relief hit me before I could even process it. Not soft or gentle, but sharp and sudden, like my body had been waiting for him without telling me.Something shifted in the air instantly. The laughter stopped.“Who the hell—”A sharp crack echoed through the room, not loud or sharp, but precise. I fli
