“You are grounded.” The words hit me like a bombshell.

I stared at him as though he had suddenly grown a horn on his head.

“For the next two weeks, you’re not leaving this house except for school.”

My jaw fell open. “You can’t be serious.”

“I am.”

“You don’t control my life!” I yelled, my chest rising and falling in heaves.

Lucian stepped closer, not aggressively. Just enough that his presence filled the space. He grabbed my chin, forcing my gaze back to his.

“You’re not mature enough to contro

    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 secon

    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

    My breath hitched as I stared at the cat.“My God!” I whispered, covering my mouth with my palm as the lid fell to the floor.She was just too pretty. Her fur was probably the whitest fur I’ve ever seen and her green eyes? They felt so ethereal.“Lucian!” I dropped the box on the couch and flew into his arms, embracing him tight. My heart was slamming hard as a result of our closeness, but at this instant, I didn’t care.“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”“Hey!” he chuckled. “One “thank you” is enough, you know?”I shook my head and hugged him tighter. “It’s not.”“You’re going to choke me in happiness.”Slowly, it hit me hard—I was sitting on Lucian, embracing him tight!With speed, I jumped off him, hue creeping into my cheeks.Geez! Fucking geez!“I… uh… I'm sorry.” I mumbled under my breath. Lucian stared at me for a split second and cracked.“It’s fine, Ezran. No need to be embarrassed.”I didn't believe him. No way I’d take his reassurance to heart when I

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER FIFTY SIX — A BEAUTIFUL GIFT

    I stared at him in shock. He has feelings for me? How?“I… don't understand, Rowan. I'm sorry.”“I understand your confusion, Ezran.” he said softly. “I understand your worries. I barely even pass as a friend, so this is surprising. But the truth is, I've always liked you from the first instance I met you. I’m intrigued by you, I’m amazed by your smartness and ingenuity. I love it when you smile or you’re shy. I—”“Stop it, Rowan.” I cut in.He stared at me in confusion. “Why? You don’t like me?”I exhaled, brushing my hand through my hair as I struggled to keep a straight face. “I like you, but not that way. I see you as a friend, a pal, a partner, not someone I can be in a relationship with. Besides, you’re not even gay, so how did you fall for me?”“I just like you very much.” he mumbled.“Exactly. It’s not love. By the time I give you a chance and we start dating, you’ll start finding faults and I’ll get bored. Eventually, we will have to call it off and ruin our friendship.”“E

    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.

    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

    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.
