Her Craving, His Brother Chapter 73: The cruise
Briggs POV We were still standing outside the courthouse when the weight of the day really hit her. Lumi clutched those island papers like they were the only thing keeping her upright, eyes glassy from everything Caius had thrown at her. I kept my arm around her waist, guiding her toward the passenger seat without letting go. She’d just asked what she should do about the island, and I’d told her the choice was hers, but I wasn’t going anywhere. That seemed to crack something open in both of us. The drive back to the penthouse was quiet at first. She sat close, her hand resting on my thigh like she needed the contact. Lumi stepped inside looking wrecked—eyes red, shoulders tight, the island papers still clutched in one hand like they might burn her. I crossed the room in two strides and dragged her against my chest, arms locking around her like I could shield her from the whole damn day. “Fuck, baby,” I muttered into her hair. “You’re shaking.” She stayed pressed against me for a
Her Craving, His Brother Chapter 72: Loaded whispers
Lumi POVI pushed open the penthouse door and stepped into silence. The place felt too big without Briggs’s presence filling it. Brianna was nowhere to be found too. No lights on in the kitchen, no jacket slung over the couch, no sound of him pacing while on a call. I dropped my keys in the bowl by the door and stood there for a minute, listening to nothing. My chest tightened the way it always did when something felt off with him lately.The phone rang in my hand before I could even set my bag down. Briggs’s name lit up the screen with a FaceTime request. I answered fast, needing to see his face after the day I’d had.“Hey,” I said, forcing a smile as the screen connected. The background behind him was blurry and dim, some kind of hallway or lobby with lights that didn’t help me place it. “Where are you? The house is empty.”He didn’t smile back. His jaw looked tight, the same way it had after he came home unsettled from his mom’s. “Just handling something. You okay? Did Wren say any
Her Craving, His Brother Chapter 71: Small bump Wren
Lumi POVI parked two blocks away from the hotel lounge Wren had picked, even though the spot she suggested had a valet. Briggs had refused to open up to me and that I couldn’t push. Something about meeting Wren on her terms felt too much like walking into a trap already set. The afternoon sun was too bright for how heavy my chest felt, and I sat in the car for an extra minute just breathing. My phone buzzed with a text from Briggs asking if I was okay. I typed back that I was fine and would call him after, even though fine was the last thing I felt. He’d wanted to come with me. I’d said no. This was between me and Wren, and dragging Briggs into it would only give her more to twist.The lounge was one of those places that tried too hard to look exclusive—dim lights, leather chairs that swallowed you, soft jazz that made every conversation feel like a secret. I checked in at the desk and was led to a corner table near the window. Wren was already there when I arrived, which annoyed m
Her Craving, His Brother Chapter 70: Late starts and awkward stops
Lumi POVI woke up alone, the sheets, sunlight was already illuminating across the room in thick stripes, which meant I’d slept far later than I meant to. My phone showed a string of missed calls and one new text from Wren confirming our meeting later that afternoon. I sighed and sat up, rubbing my eyes. The house felt too quiet without Briggs’s steady presence somewhere nearby.The sound of the front door opening pulled me out of bed. I grabbed one of his shirts from the chair and slipped it on before padding out to the living room. Briggs was just stepping inside with Brianna right behind him. Both of them looked like they’d walked through a storm. Briggs’s jaw was tight, his shoulders set in that rigid way he got when something had gone wrong but he didn’t want to say it out loud. Brianna’s mouth was pulled into a thin line, her eyes sharp with whatever she’d just witnessed.“Morning,” I said, trying to sound casual even though my stomach tightened at the sight of him. “You two lo
Her Craving, His Brother Chapter 69: Lies in the sand
Briggs POVI was halfway through signing off on a contract when my phone lit up again. Mom’s name. Third time this morning. I let it ring out the first two, but the third one came with a text that said “Please, Briggs. It’s important.” That word—important—always meant someone wanted something from me, and lately that someone was circling Lumi like she was fair game.I rubbed the back of my neck and stared at the penthouse window, the city spread out below like it didn’t give a damn about any of this. Lumi was still asleep in our bed, the sheets tangled around her legs the way I’d left them after last night. She looked peaceful for once. I wasn’t about to wake her for this mess.Brianna showed up at the door ten minutes later, already dressed like she was heading to a board meeting instead of a family ambush. She raised an eyebrow when she saw me grabbing my keys. “Going somewhere without telling me?”“Mom’s blowing up my phone. Said it’s important.”Brianna smirked, the kind that m
Her Craving, His Brother Chapter 68: Invitations and cuts
Lumi POVI woke up slowly, the penthouse quiet except for the faint sound of the city below and the soft rustle of Briggs moving around the room. The sheets still held his warmth, and my skin carried the faint ache of his touch from the night before, a reminder of how he’d pulled me close and made the world outside feel smaller. For a moment I let myself linger there, eyes half-closed, pretending the calls and the messages hadn’t started again. But they had, Wren never stayed quiet for long.Briggs sat in the armchair by the window, already dressed, his phone in one hand and a mug of coffee in the other. The morning light hit the open collar of his shirt and the sharp line of his jaw. He looked like he’d been awake for a while, probably watching the screen for the next thing to hit us. When he noticed I was up, he set the mug down and crossed the room, stopping at the edge of the bed. His hand found my shoulder without hesitation, thumb brushing over my bare skin in that steady way
Her Craving, His Brother Chapter 10: The sin list
Lumi’s POVA few minutes later, we finally got to Clover’s apartment. The moment we step inside, the world outside feels… quieter. But not enough to silence my thoughts.“I’m going to shower first,” Clover says, already kicking off her shoes and heading toward her room.“Go ahead,” I reply.She dis
Her Craving, His Brother Chapter 5: Moving on
Lumi’s POV I didn’t remember getting into the car. One second I was walking out of that house, the next, I was seated, door slammed, breathing too fast. “Lumi.” Clover’s voice. I blinked, my hands were shaking. Still, I pressed them against my thighs, trying to steady them. It didn’t work. “Hey

Briggs’ POV“What do you think you’re doing?”Fedric’s voice comes out sharper than I expected, but not stronger. He’s already stepping backward. Already realizing this isn’t a conversation.The door shuts behind me with a quiet click.Riki moves in after me, casual, almost bored, but I know him we
Her Craving, His Brother Chapter 8: Don’t get me wrong
Briggs’ POVDon’t get me wrong. I never knew I parked that long in front of them. If I had, I would’ve moved. I’m not that careless. I don’t do unnecessary inconvenience. At least, not without reason.When I first noticed them, I assumed they were waiting for someone. Two women standing by a car,
