~~Indigo~~

If Braxton could give up his marriage with Bianca, then staying away from Slade should have been easyㅡ At least, that's what I told myself before I went to bed the previous night.

But now, as I walked into the kitchen the next morning to the sound of bacon and the sight of Slade hovering behind the counter, his back muscles spread with ink flexing as he stirred something, my brain blanked.

Like, my breath caught in my throat and I couldn't say anything for a second.

He stood there like some model for a cooking showㅡ messy morning hair, sweatpants hanging dangerously low, spatula in hand and a ridiculous smug grin on his face.

“Morning, sunshine,” He drawled, looking over his shoulder at me. “You drool in your sleep by the way.”

That made my jaw shut and I scoffed indignantly but it came out as a huff. “I do not. Also, I thought you'd leave this morning. I don't need you making breakfast for me.”

“Didn't say you did, Princess,” He shrugged, flipping over the eggs in the pan.

  • Dirty Cravings; Big Bad Brother   Walk With Me..

    ~~Indigo~~The night's air was stillㅡ that kind of unsettling silence that settled in your bones and never really left.Sleep seemed like a dream. Far and fleeting from my touch.I tossed and turned in bed, my thoughts racing. None of it made any sense. That was the start of our friendship. How could Braxton just forget it like it meant nothing?How would he forget when Slade knew?I groaned, throwing the sheets off my body before swinging my legs down, my feet bare against the marble floor. I didn't know what exactly was happening but I didn't need a brain to know that something was offㅡ something very important.My gaze drifted to my bedside table, my eyes fixed on my phone that lay there. Should I call him? I needed to know.Before I could change my mind, I reached forward and grabbed it, my fingers trembling as I dialled Braxton's number.The phone rang. Once. Twice. I almost thought he was asleep and wouldn't see my call. At least, that would save me the stress of having to addre

    ~~Slade~~The bottle was almost empty.That was the only thing I’d managed to accomplish tonight.I stared long at the ice in my glass of bourbon, my head a tangled mess of emotions and memoriesㅡ yet all of it revolved around her. Yes, how the mighty had fallen. Slade Fallon was having sleepless nights because of a girl who didn't understand what he was talking about.She should’ve known. Damn it, she should’ve known.I took another long gulp, wincing as it burned down my throat.Maybe I should just tell her everything. Maybe I should stop pretending this stupid plan would fix anything.But the main question was still glaringly obvious. Would she believe me?She already seemed to have a hard time understanding what I had blatantly said this afternoon. She probably thought I was joking around or some shit.My gaze shifted to the photo frame on the nightstand—the one of me and Braxton when we were kids.The same one Mom had forced us to take before I left for London for good.I picked i

    ~~Indigo~~I stood in front of the mirror, turning from side to side as Slade sat on the couch opposite me, his phone in hand and a bored look on his face.“What about this one?” I turned to look at him hopefully, the silver dress fitting perfectly on my curves, glinting off the low light.His expression didn't change. Just as bored as ever. “You look like a fucking disco ball.”Ouch.I huffed. “Wow. Thanks for the confidence boost. That's exactly why you're here, Slade. You've been a good help.” Sarcasm dripped off my words.He shrugged, leaning back as he gave me a slow and lazy once over. “Just saying. It's not my favorite.”I rolled my eyes and went back inside to try another dress. Dress after dressㅡ it was either too tight, showed too much cleavage, didn't announce my presence well enough, too pinkㅡ and I was already about to tear my fucking hair off in frustration when I slipped into a burgundy red gown that complimented my body.When I stepped out of the dressing room, I didn'

    ~~Braxton~~The ride home was quiet. A bit too quiet. It felt like whatever had happened at the club still weighed down heavily on us.My grip on the steering wheel tightened as I swerved to the right, my gaze fixed forward.“Watch where you’re going,” Bianca muttered from the passenger seat where she sat.Irritation burned in my chest. “I am.”She let out a laugh that was nothing short of humorless. “Right? You seem to be losing your control daily.”That made my stomach churn. “You’re so dramatic, Bianca.”She barked out a laugh that bounced off the walls of the car, but it didn’t sound amused. It felt like she was masking her pain and anger behind that laugh. “What do you want me to say, Braxton? You just started a scene in a club.”I clenched my jaw, my eyes fixed on the road. “He had his hands all over her, Bianca. You expect me to sit there and do nothing?”The silence barely lasted a full minute before she was spinning around in her seat to face me, her face twisted into one of

  • Dirty Cravings; Big Bad Brother   Under The Lights..

    ~~Indigo~~The club was booming with music, the floor beneath us thrumming with the bass of the music.Slade had his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to his warm body as people writhed around us, bodies twisting to the beats of the song.Bianca and Braxton were right in front of us, Braxton pulling her closer also as he led her to the counter at the barside.I tried not to fucking roll my eyes at them. Wasn't this my birthday? I should be the one who would get a bit of attention from everyone but no, he had to make it about her.“You okay? Should I be worried that you're glaring daggers at a man and his wife?” Slade muttered under his breath, guiding me to sit a few seats away from Bianca and Braxton.Anger flared in my chest and I considered throttling him for a good thirty seconds. “Can you just shut up?” I sighed under my breath. “I'm not in the fucking mood for your jokes”He chuffed under his breath. “I'm not joking, Princess.”Yeah, maybe he deserved to be choked to death
