DREYVEN

"I'm not weak." Her voice cracked on the last word.

"Yeah?" I watched it happen in real time, the exact microsecond where everything inside her would shatter into pieces too small to ever fit back together.

And I wanted to do exactly that.

"Then why are you about to cry right now? Why do you apologize for breathing? Why do you dress like you're trying to hide your entire body?"

My gaze traveled down her frame, slow and methodical. The expensive bag slung across her shoulder,

  • FOUR SHADES OF DREY   HOW MUCH IT DESTROYED ME

    Chapter 60DreyvenThe elevator ride up felt like ascending into hell.My brothers were waiting in the private lobby of the North Wing, the one place on campus no one else could access. The moment the doors opened, three identical pairs of grey eyes locked onto me. The air thickened instantly.Dreyden was the first to speak, arms crossed, jaw tight. “Where the fuck have you been?”I didn’t answer right away. I walked past them toward the common area, needing space to breathe. They followed.Drayton’s voice was quieter but no less intense. “We’ve been calling and texting for hours, Ven. You went silent. After everything that’s happening with Victoria and Julian, you just… disappeared?”I dropped onto the couch and dragged both hands down my face. My body still smelled like her. Like sex and trust and the breakfast we’d shared in bed. I could still taste her on my tongue.“I was with her,” I said finally.Silence.Then Dreylen stepped forward, eyes narrowed. “You were with Aurelia? All n

  • FOUR SHADES OF DREY   DO ANYTHING TO HURT HER.

    Chapter 59DreyvenAll the blood drained from my face.The words had slipped out before I could stop them and now they hung between us.Aurelia sat up straighter against the pillows, the sheet pooling around her waist. Her green eyes sharpened with curiosity. “You have other brothers?” she repeated, tilting her head. “You’ve never mentioned them before. How many?” I swallowed hard. My mind was still foggy from the night we’d shared, from the way she’d looked at me when she came apart in my arms. I hadn’t planned to say anything. The sentence had just fallen out in the comfortable morning haze.“Four of us total,” I said, keeping my voice steady. “I’m the youngest, the last child.” It wasn’t the full truth, but it wasn’t a complete lie either. We were four. Aurelia’s eyebrows rose. “Four brothers? That’s a big family. Are you close?”“Too close sometimes,” I said. I reached for her hand and laced our fingers together, needing the anchor. “We’re… complicated. Same parents, same pres

  • FOUR SHADES OF DREY   WAIT! YOU HAVE OTHER BROTHERS?

    Chapter 58Drayven Whatever they decided when I saw them was what I'd do because right now I had absolutely no idea how to fix this mess I'd created. So I dropped the phone back on the bedside table and slowly withdrew from Aurelia's warmth and carefully slid out of bed trying not to wake her. I grabbed my boxers from the floor and pulled them on and then headed to the kitchen to figure out what to prepare for her.I stood in front of the refrigerator staring at the contents without really seeing them because my mind was racing with thoughts of what I'd done.What I needed to do and how badly this was all going to end. I'd taken her virginity and I'd told her I loved her and I'd made promises with my body that I didn't know if I could keep once she knew the truth about who I really was.I pulled out eggs, bread and bacon and started preparing breakfast mechanically while my thoughts spun in circles. I'd fucked up so badly and I didn't know how to fix it and the worst part was tha

  • FOUR SHADES OF DREY   DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT

    Chapter 57DreyvenI knew I'd fucked up the moment I opened my eyes and reality came crashing down around me like shattered glass cutting deep. What the fuck had I done?I was supposed to tell Aurelia the truth but instead I'd made everything infinitely more complicated and infinitely more painful for when the truth finally came out. I'd successfully taken her virginity even though I knew I didn't deserve it. I knew that taking something so precious under false pretenses made me the worst kind of person. My brothers would be so disappointed in me and they'd have every right to be because I'd gone against everything we'd agreed on and I'd made this situation so much worse than it already was.I messed my hair with my fingers in frustration and stared up at the ceiling trying to figure out how I'd let this happen and how I'd let my control slip so completely. I'd had a plan and I'd been determined to tell her everything and instead I'd ended up in bed with her taking the one thing s

  • FOUR SHADES OF DREY   I LOVE YOU

    Chapter 56The pleasure washed over me in waves and I felt my body clench around his fingers, a rush of warmth and my back arched off the couch as I gasped his name. He stayed with me through every tremor and kissed my thighs softly until I floated back down feeling boneless and glowing and more relaxed than I'd ever felt.But the ache didn't fade completely and if anything it deepened because now I knew what pleasure felt like and I wanted more and I wanted him inside me and I wanted us connected completely. "Drey," I whispered as I sat up on shaky legs. "I still want you and I want all of you."His eyes widened and the fight returned to his expression because his jaw clenched and his hands fisted at his sides. "Ari, you've already felt good and let me just hold you now and we don't have to go further."I reached for the button of his jeans and he groaned softly, the sound was conflicted and torn. "Please," I said and I looked up at him through my lashes. "Let me touch you too."H

  • FOUR SHADES OF DREY   YOU'RE DOING SO WELL

    Chapter 55Aurelia He was so careful about it, handling me like I was something that might break, the cool air kissed my skin but his gaze was pure heat as he looked at me."You're so beautiful," he whispered and his voice was reverent and his hands hovered before gently tracing the straps of my bra. "So perfect and we can stop anytime, Ari, just say the word."I nodded because my throat felt too tight to speak but I reached for his shirt again and this time he helped me, lifting his arms so I could pull it off. The sight of his bare chest stole my breath because he was all broad shoulders and defined muscles, smooth skin that glowed golden in the low light.I ran my palms over him, feeling the heat, the rapid heartbeat and the way his skin jumped under my touch. He made a low sound in his throat that sent shivers down my spine and then his mouth was on my neck again and moving lower to my collarbone and to the swell of my breasts above my bra and I felt like I might combust from t

    Chapter 39Aurelia "It's nothing bad," he adds quickly, reading my expression. "Just... I'm not perfect, Ari. I have things in my past I'm not proud of. Family complications you don't know about. There are parts of my life that are messy and complicated and sometimes I don't know how to navigate t
