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 67: Okay what’s wrong with chubby girls ?
Lumi POVThe elevator doors slid open to the penthouse, and the familiar scent of leather and Briggs’s cologne hit me like a safety net I hadn’t realized I needed. Brianna stepped out first, her keys jingling as she tossed them onto the marble counter without a word. She gave me one last glance—half apologetic, half still curious—and disappeared down the hall toward her wing. I stood there in my leggings and oversized sweater, the fabric still carrying the faint mineral smell from the spa, my thighs aching with every shift of weight. The soreness between my legs reminded me of Briggs’s hands, but the spa had left something else behind, something thinner and sharper that settled in my chest like a splinter.I barely had time to drop my bag before I felt him. Briggs emerged from the shadows of the living room, barefoot and shirtless, his dark hair still damp from a shower. His eyes locked on me instantly, scanning like he could read every shift in my posture. “You’re back early,” he
Her Craving, His Brother Chapter 66: Steams and gossip
I glanced at it, then swam towards it and saw an unknown number flashing on the screen, and decided whatever it was could wait. The hot water of the public bath had finally started to loosen the deep ache on my body. I wasn’t about to let a random call pull me out of this fragile peace. Not now.The spa had thinned out. Dara had stepped away to take a business call, leaving just the three of us girls submerged in the mineral pool—me, Brianna, and the quiet tension that had followed us from the penthouse. Steam curled around our shoulders like secrets we weren’t ready to share. Brianna lounged against the tiled edge, her dark hair slicked back, looking every bit the untouchable Hall twin. Her eyes kept drifting to me with that calculating glint, like she was still processing whatever fight she and Briggs had after I’d passed out. I didn’t ask, not here. The water was too soothing, and my muscles too grateful for the break.Then Dara returned, sliding back into the water with the easy
Her Craving, His Brother Chapter 65: Body aches in a sweet way
Lumi POVMy eyes cracked open to sunlight slicing through the penthouse windows like it had a personal grudge. The ache hit me first—deep, delicious, everywhere. Every muscle protested in the best way, like my body was reminding me I’d been thoroughly fucked, owned, and left marked inside and out.My nipples were still hypersensitive, brushing against the tangled sheet and sending little sparks straight to my clit. Fuck, even my shoulders carried the faint imprint of his grip, the kind of bruises that would make smile in the mirror like dirty little trophies. I stretched experimentally and winced, a low groan slipping out. I pushed up on one elbow, hair a wild mess tumbling over my face, and realized I was completely naked. The sheet had slipped to my waist, exposing my breasts, the faint red lines from his fingers still visible across my ribs. I looked rough. Cheeks flushed, lips swollen from his kisses and the way he’d bitten them when I came undone, eyes heavy with the kind of e
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,
