Lumi POV

Smoke 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 the hot floorboards.

“Mom!” I screamed, voice hoarse from the heat. I could hear her coughing inside, weak and desperate, and I shoved at the burning doorframe with everything I had. The wood gave w

  • Her Craving, His Brother    Chapter 79: I’m not a whore

    Lumi POVBriggs cleared our plates and leaned against the counter, watching me with that half-smile he wore when he was about to throw something unexpected my way. “So,” he said, “after everything this morning, I’ve been thinking. Is there anything you actually need? Like a new car to get around easier, or maybe something bigger—like starting a business of your own?”I hesitated, pushing my hair behind my ear. The idea had lived in the back of my mind for years, buried under everything else. “It’s kind of silly, but I’ve always dreamed of opening a women’s empowerment lounge. Nothing like a spa, just a place where women can come for workshops on confidence, financial independence, self-defense basics, and creative stuff like writing or art sessions. All services are strictly for women only. A safe space to connect and grow without the usual noise.”Briggs nodded slowly, like he was turning the idea over in his head. “That doesn’t sound silly at all. Sounds like something you’d be g

    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 the hot floorboards. “Mom!” I screamed, voice hoarse from the heat. I could hear her coughing inside, weak and desperate, and I shoved at the burning doorframe with everything I had. The wood gave way in a shower of sparks, but the fire pushed back harder, blistering my hands and forcing me to stumble backward.I kept going anyway. My lungs screamed for air as I fought my way closer, tears mixing with the soot on my face. If I couldn’t pull her out, then I’d stay with her. That felt like the only thing left to do. I ran straight back into the smoke-filled room, the ceiling groaning above me, ready to give in. The guilt twisted in my chest like a knife. It was my fault that this was happen

  • 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 against the wall, her body pressing close, and the air between us crackled with everything we hadn’t said at the club.“Finally,” she murmured, her voice low and husky, lips brushing my ear. Her short hair tickled my cheek as she leaned in, and I could smell the faint mix of gin and her perfume. “I’ve been wanting to do this since you laughed at my terrible lines downstairs.”I laughed again, but it came out breathy, already edged with need. “Then stop talking and show me.” The words slipped out bolder than I felt, the whiskey still buzzing through me, loosening every restraint. My hands found her waist, sliding under the hem of her blazer to feel the heat of her skin.Brianna didn’t hesitate.

  • Her Craving, His Brother    Chapter 76: Tipsy

    Clover POVI was barely out of the parking lot at the spa when traffic hit like a brick wall. The city streets had turned into a slow-motion nightmare, brake lights stretching out in front of me like some kind of cosmic joke. My hands gripped the wheel tighter than necessary, the leftover glow from Dara’s facial session fading fast as my brain started looping back to Cameron and that whole “open relationship” pitch. No way was I going straight home to sit in my apartment replaying it. I needed noise, people, something to keep my head on straight.I grabbed my phone at the next red light and typed out a quick message to Lumi:Hey, random question—who’s Dara? She just showed up at the spa for a facial and said you recommended me. I never told her anything about you. Everything okay on your end? Call me later if you’re free.The text sent with a little whoosh, and I tossed the phone into the cup holder as traffic inched forward again. By the time I hit another standstill, I was already

  • 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 bedroom, phone in hand, when it buzzed with a message from my spa manager.“Client requesting the full facial with you specifically. Said it’s urgent and only you’ll do. She’s already here waiting.”I stared at the screen for a second. Normally I’d have rolled my eyes and stayed home to overthink Cameron’s latest disaster, but the idea of escaping my own four walls sounded way too good. At least at the spa I could focus on someone else’s pores instead of my own life choices.“Be there in twenty,” I typed back, already pulling on jeans and a loose top. No way was I hanging around here replaying how Cameron had basically auditioned me for his open-relationship fan club. I grabbed my keys and

  • 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 like he was trying to anchor himself. For a minute it felt almost normal, like we could pretend the last few months of on-again-off-again bullshit didn’t exist. Then his mouth fell open and the moan came out wrong. “Rhea… fuck, Rhea, just like that…” The name hit me like cold water. I froze mid-thrust, staring down at him. My body went from hot to completely checked out in half a second. I climbed off so fast I almost knocked the lamp off the nightstand. “What the hell did you just say?” I snapped, yanking the sheet up to cover myself. Cameron blinked like he was coming out of a trance, then his face went pale. “Clover—shit, I didn’t mean—” “Get out.” I pointed at the door, voice flat. “G
