مؤلف: Moonchild
last update تاريخ النشر: 2026-03-28 20:23:13

Lumi’s POV

His face comes into fear. It’s the man from the parking lot. It hits me instantly.

Not because of his face alone, but because of how he carries himself. The same controlled presence, the same aura that doesn’t ask for attention but somehow holds it anyway. He’s taller than I remembered, or maybe he just feels taller here.

The dim lights stretch across him in pieces, highlighting the ink along his neck, disappearing beneath the collar of his black shirt, reappearing along his arms lik

  • Her Craving, His Brother    Chapter 97: Deadbeat

    Briggs POVThe first thing I noticed was Cameron.The guy looked like he was trying very hard not to look at something, or someone.That alone caught my attention.Because people only avoided looking when they were afraid of what they'd see. The yacht was crowded.Investors. Politicians. Socialites.People who smiled too much and said too little.Dara's birthday parties always looked less like celebrations and more like networking events disguised as fun. Yet somehow, out of everyone on board, my attention landed on Cameron.The man looked tense, like every muscle in his body was preparing for impact. Beside me, Lumi followed my gaze.Her expression immediately shifted. Recognition."Oh."I glanced at her. "You know him?"She looked at me like I'd asked whether water was wet."That's Cameron." Then after a beat, she says. "Clover's ex."That got my attention, not because Lumi knew him.Because suddenly I was staring at one of my former employees and realizing he'd somehow dated her be

  • Her Craving, His Brother    Chapter 96: Fashionably late

    Clover POVIf there was one thing I had learned during the last two days, it was that Cameron was incapable of being normal under pressure.Actually, scratch that.I wasn't entirely convinced Cameron was capable of being normal under any circumstance.The small boat rocked gently against the water as it carried us toward Dara's yacht, the city lights glittering across the dark ocean like scattered diamonds.The view should've been beautiful, peaceful.Romantic even.Instead, I was sitting across from a grown man who had checked behind him seventeen times in the last ten minutes.Yes.I counted.Because after the tenth time, it became impossible not to."Stop looking behind us."Cameron immediately looked behind us again.I closed my eyes slowly, patiently. The way people did before committing crimes."I said you’re doing it again.""What?"I pointed. "You know exactly what."His gaze flicked toward the water, then toward the marina. Then toward another boat passing several yards away,

  • Her Craving, His Brother    Chapter 95: Smiles and knives

    Lumi POVCaius opened his mouth, probably to say something stupid and dramatic.Something he would regret tomorrow and somehow blame on somebody else.But before another word could leave his mouth, he swayed. The movement was subtle. Small enough that most people would've missed it.I didn't, neither did Briggs.Neither did the two security guards hovering nearby like they were seconds away from earning their paycheck.Caius blinked once, then again. His expression briefly losing focus. And suddenly the entire situation became fucking ridiculous.Because this wasn't some dangerous mastermind standing in front of me. This was a drunk man making a fool of himself on somebody else's yacht.The realization should've made me feel better, it didn't. Because Caius drunk was unpredictable, and unpredictable people were exhausting."Caius."A familiar female voice cut through the tension.Everybody turned, including me. And immediately wished I hadn't.Wren.Because apparently this night wasn'

  • Her Craving, His Brother    Chapter 94: You don’t know him

    Lumi POVI should've walked away. The thought came to me for the third time in less than a minute.I should've turned around, and taken Briggs' hand. Find Dara, or literally anybody else, then leave.Instead, I stood there watching my ex-fiancé embarrass himself in front of half of New York.The ocean rocked gently beneath the yacht, music continued somewhere behind us. Champagne glasses clinked.People laughed, or at least they had been laughing.Now?Nobody was laughing. Nobody was even pretending to talk anymore. Because Caius Hall had decided to make himself the center of attention.Again.My stomach twisted as I stared at the phone in his hand. The screen was still lit, still displaying that picture. My picture.A picture I never knew existed. I hated how cold my skin suddenly felt. Not because the photo was revealing or because it was inappropriate. But because it felt invasive, wrong. Like I was looking at something I wasn't supposed to see. The photo had been taken from behi

  • Her Craving, His Brother    Chapter 93: The wrong brother

    Briggs POV The second Lumi stepped onto the yacht, I regretted coming. Not because of Dara, or because of the guest list. And definitely not because of the press boats circling the marina like vultures waiting for somebody rich to embarrass themselves. No. I regretted coming because every man on the damn dock looked at her. Every. Single. One. The yacht stretched across the water like a floating city. Music drifted from the upper decks. Champagne glasses sparkled under the hanging lights. People laughed, some posed for photos, pretending like they weren't constantly judging each other. Normal rich people behavior. Lumi paused beside me, staring up at the yacht. "That's not a boat." A laugh escaped me. "No, that’s a country." "Basically." Her eyes widened slightly. And there it was, that look of curiosity and excitement. I found myself staring again. Which has become a problem recently, a serious one. Because every time she smiled, my brain forgot how to function. "Stop

  • Her Craving, His Brother    Chapter 92: Obsessed much

    Lumi POVThe third swimsuit was somehow worse than the first two. I stood in front of the full-length mirror, tugging at the fabric for what had to be the hundredth time.The model online looked incredible, of course she had. She was six feet tall, had abs, and probably drank green juice for fun.I looked like I was losing an argument with elastic.A sigh escaped me, then another. Then a third.Behind me, Briggs looked up from where he was sitting on the edge of the bed."You done?""No.""You've been fighting that swimsuit for twenty minutes.""Guess I'm winning."His mouth twitched.I narrowed my eyes. "Don't laugh.""I'm not.""You are.""I'm trying not to." He said, muffling a laugh.That was somehow worse, I looked back at the mirror. The swimsuit wasn't ugly, the problem was me.Or at least the version of me that still remembered every comment, every comparison, every moment someone made me feel like my body needed permission to exist.My fingers drifted to my waist, then my hip

  • Her Craving, His Brother    Chapter 78: Nightmare

    Lumi POVSmoke climbed my throat, thick and choking, turning every breath into a struggle. The house was on fire, flames racing up the walls and ceiling in hungry orange waves that crackled and roared like they were alive. I stumbled through the hallway toward my mom’s room, my bare feet burning on

  • Her Craving, His Brother    Chapter 77: Sex with a girl

    Clover POVThe hotel door clicked shut behind us, and the low hum of the city outside faded into nothing. Brianna’s hand was still in mine, her grip firm and warm, pulling me deeper into the dimly lit room. The bed loomed large, but neither of us reached for it right away. Instead, she backed me ag

  • Her Craving, His Brother    Chapter 75: Special facial

    Clover POVI stepped out of the shower still half-laughing at the mess with Cameron. The hot water had washed off the awkward residue of his wrong-name moan, but my brain kept replaying the “open relationship” pitch like it was a bad rom-com line. I wrapped a towel around myself and padded into the

  • Her Craving, His Brother    Chapter 74: We’re just fuck mates

    Clover POV I was on top, riding him slow and steady the way he liked, hands braced on his chest while the old bedsprings creaked under us. The afternoon light filtered through the blinds in my bedroom, catching the sweat on his skin. Cameron’s eyes were half-closed, his hands gripping my hips li
