25. Tiana

I didn't know what to say and at that moment, the kitchen suddenly felt too small, too quiet and too full of things neither of us knew how to handle.

Roman remained kneeling beside my chair waiting. He was not pressuring me and not demanding an answer, he was just waiting and somehow that made everything worse because if he had pushed, I could have gotten angry, if he had insisted, I could have argued but he didn't.

He simply looked at me with hope, vulnerability and years of feelings

  • Filthy Cravings: Your BROTHER Is Mine    Thoughts

    25. TianaI didn't know what to say and at that moment, the kitchen suddenly felt too small, too quiet and too full of things neither of us knew how to handle.Roman remained kneeling beside my chair waiting. He was not pressuring me and not demanding an answer, he was just waiting and somehow that made everything worse because if he had pushed, I could have gotten angry, if he had insisted, I could have argued but he didn't.He simply looked at me with hope, vulnerability and years of feelings I had never known existed.My chest tightened painfully."Roman..."His eyes softened immediately and the sight only made it harder.I swallowed."I don't know."The words came out barely above a whisper and the moment they left my mouth, something changed. It was subtle that most people wouldn't have noticed but I did because I had spent years studying Roman too.The hope in his eyes dimmed just a little nut enough to make guilt crash into me instantly.Roman looked away first and a small smil

  • Filthy Cravings: Your BROTHER Is Mine    Pain

    24. RomanThe fork froze halfway to my mouth and for a second, I genuinely forgot how to breathe.Tiana's question lingered between us. It was simple but devastating."If you loved me... why didn't you choose me when my family wanted a business marriage?"The eggs on my fork suddenly became the least important thing in the world.Slowly, I lowered the utensil back onto the plate. Across from me, Tiana watched and waiting.God!I had imagined this conversation a thousand times over the years. In every version, I was smarter, braver and less pathetic. But sitting here now, staring at the woman I had spent years loving from a distance, I realized there was no perfect answer, only the truth and the truth made me look like a fool.I leaned back in my chair, ran a hand over my jaw then laughed quietly. The sound carried no amusement."You really want to know?"Her eyes softened."Yes."I looked down at the table, at the coffee growing cold beside me, at anything except her because looking a

  • Filthy Cravings: Your BROTHER Is Mine    The question

    23. TianaFor the first time in years, breakfast felt peaceful.Not polite like it usually is, not obligatory, not one of those strained meals where silence sat between two people pretending everything was fine… peaceful.I sat at the kitchen island with a cup of coffee warming my hands while Roman stood at the stove making pancakes.Someone was actually making breakfast for me.The sight alone felt absurd."You're staring."I smiled into my cup."You look ridiculous."He glanced over his shoulder."Because I'm making breakfast?""Because I didn't know you knew how."His expression turned offended."I can cook.""Barely.""I can."I laughed. The sound escaped before I could stop it and Roman froze dramatically.My smile widened."What?""Nothing."Suspicion immediately crossed my face."Roman..."His grin appeared."There it is again."I frowned."What?""That laugh."Heat touched my cheeks."Oh."His expression softened."I haven't heard it in years."Something inside me stilled. Yea

    22. TianaThe room fell quiet after my words and Roman's gaze drills into me.I also remembered his words, “you deserve someone who chooses you the first time.”They echoed inside my chest long after he stopped speaking.I stood in the middle of the room staring at him, at the man who somehow managed to make me feel seen when everyone else spent years looking straight through me.My throat tightened unexpectedly and Roman noticed immediately and his expression softened."Tiana?"I swallowed hard as his eyes searched mine carefully as if he sensed something important was happening.I lifted my hand and rested it against his chest. The steady rhythm beneath my palm grounded me instantly.For years I spent my life being what everyone needed: a good daughter, a good wife, a responsible woman. I have always been someone useful, someone dependable, someone who endured but standing here with Roman...I didn't feel useful I felt wanted and the difference nearly shattered me."Hey."His voice

  • Filthy Cravings: Your BROTHER Is Mine    The promise

    21. TianaThe knock came again and it was loud and sharp this time and dangerously close.We both froze instantly and for one horrible second neither of us moved.Roman's hand remained tangled in my hair and my fingers still gripped the front of his shirt.The kiss died between us as another knock sounded."Tiana!"Genova… again. What was with him this morning?My stomach dropped again."Oh God."Roman exhaled slowly against my forehead."He has terrible timing."I stared at him."You're joking right now?""A little.""Roman."The knock came again more impatient this time."Tiana, open the door."Panic exploded through me immediately because unlike earlier, Roman wasn't hidden in the bathroom he was standing in the middle of my room looking entirely too comfortable and entirely not guilty."Bathroom," I hissed.Roman raised an eyebrow."Again?""Now."The amusement on his face nearly drove me insane. Still, he finally relented and disappeared into the bathroom.I barely waited for the

  • Filthy Cravings: Your BROTHER Is Mine    Acting cold

    20. TianaGenova rubbed a hand over his jaw tiredly.“You’re acting cold.”I blinked at him slowly wondering if he said cold to me. The irony almost hurt.“You introduced other women into our marriage,” I say and his expression hardened instantly and he's out of words, “and somehow I’m the cold one?”“That’s not what I said.”“It’s exactly what you implied because you are already used to blaming me for everything including your shortcoming.”Silence stretched between us and Genova looked strangely unsettled suddenly like this conversation wasn’t going the way he expected.Maybe he thought I would cry, beg or compete harder for his attention but instead I stood there emotionally exhausted and deeply done and I think that scared him more.His gaze dragged slowly over my face again lingering and searching.“You’ve changed.”The words came quieter this time and dangerously observant.My stomach tightened because he was right. Something had changed and part of me feared he could somehow se
