CIARA

Shit. Every muscle in my body ached, like I’d been worked over from the inside out, bruised in places I didn’t even know I had.

I stared at my reflection, trying to find something to say, but the words caught in my throat, stuck there after Rowan had fucked me senseless last night.

“Is he a beast?” I frowned, turning a little so I could take in the mess he’d left behind.

My skin was littered with hickeys, blooming dark across my breasts, some trailing down to the tender skin inside my thi

    CIARAShit. Every muscle in my body ached, like I’d been worked over from the inside out, bruised in places I didn’t even know I had.I stared at my reflection, trying to find something to say, but the words caught in my throat, stuck there after Rowan had fucked me senseless last night.“Is he a beast?” I frowned, turning a little so I could take in the mess he’d left behind.My skin was littered with hickeys, blooming dark across my breasts, some trailing down to the tender skin inside my thighs. And on my shoulder, there was a bite mark, angry and swollen, glaring red against my skin.The sight of it made my hand twitch, like maybe if I smacked him, it would even the score, but I couldn’t do that. Not when he was already gone when I woke up.I just let out a sigh and shuffled to the bathroom, where the tub was already waiting for me.“Well, at least he had the conscience to ready a bath for me,” I muttered as I slid in and rested my head back, eyes tracing the ceiling.Honestly, la

  • In the Arms of the Older Brother   13: Darkly Satisfying (18+)

    ROWANI had my fair share of sexual encounters throughout my life, enough to think I’d known the shape of pleasure, the slow build, and the blinding rush, but nothing had ever come close to the way Ciara’s heat devoured me now and how she moved above me.I did say she could punish me. I suppose I half-meant it, some idle promise tossed out in the haze of wanting her to stay, but I never imagined it would come to this: blindfolded, hands kept strictly away, denied even the smallest touch unless she allowed it.Right now, I was nothing but her toy, her plaything, and there was something darkly satisfying in the way she used me.After all this time, I’d finally managed to have her. Ciara Villaflor, the woman I’d been eyeing ever since my brother brought her home and introduced her like a gift I wasn’t allowed to touch.The first time I saw her, it was like someone hit me in the chest with an iron. There was nothing else for it but to stare in awe as she sat across from me, a beautiful, a

  • In the Arms of the Older Brother   12: Sharper, Deeper, More Consuming (18+)

    CIARAThe sound of my moan filled Rowan’s room as his fingers and mouth worked me over. It hadn’t even been four minutes since we started; somehow, in that tiny sliver of time, he’d already stripped me completely, every inch of clothing gone like it was nothing.And now his mouth was at my breast, warm and relentless, while his fingers teased the sensitive folds between my legs, coaxing out a wetness I was helpless to hide.This man literally meant fucking business, and all I could do was let my hand tangled in his hair, desperate for something to hold onto when his teeth grazed my nipple.“Fuck, your voice alone can make me cum,” he murmured, and when our eyes met, I saw myself reflected there: dazed, hungry, lost to him.He pressed a kiss to my lips, slow and deliberate, then smiled like he was memorizing the way I looked when I was unraveling for him.“We’re only at the foreplay, but God, I love the look in your eyes whenever I touch you.”That pulled me back, just a little. I frown

  • In the Arms of the Older Brother   11: Reckless and Impulsive

    CIARAThe moment Rowan’s car rolled out of the lot, nosing past the edge of the park where I waited, I stood up from the swing. I’d had plenty of time to think while I stayed on the playground, and I’d already made my decision: if I had to crawl lower than any of them, just to see everyone who hurt me finally pay, then that was exactly what I would do.No second thoughts, no guilt. Just action.“Why the sudden decision? You horny?” Rowan asked the instant I slid into the passenger seat beside him. I rolled my eyes and clicked the seatbelt into place, dealing with his antics.“Yes, so stop asking before I change my mind again,” I answered, my tone sharper than I intended.I knew I shouldn’t take my frustration out on him, but I couldn’t help it. My father really disappointed me; it hurt, but more than anything, I was starting to get angry at him, enough that I was thinking of getting revenge on him, too.And I hated that thought. I hated myself for even thinking it.“Easy, I’m not your

  • In the Arms of the Older Brother   10: Ideal Distraction

    CIARAFive days had slipped by since I ran away from my own wedding. Everything about that day was still clinging to me, as if I could still feel the lace of my dress on my skin. And ever since I got kicked out of the company, I’d barely moved from my apartment. I slept, I ate, I drank. Then I did it all over again.Both families managed to wipe away the videos and articles about the wedding, but that didn’t stop the whispers from spreading. My friends and cousins reached out on social media, checking in on me, but I couldn’t bring myself to respond. It wasn’t that I wanted to shut them out; I just couldn’t face the conversation.“I can’t keep wasting away like this,” I murmured to myself, the words barely escaping my lips. Then, I threw off the blanket, but instead of moving right away, I just…stayed.When I sorted through my thoughts, the only conclusion I came to was to get out, breathe some air, and let the world outside distract me. Maybe if I left my apartment, I could leave the

  • In the Arms of the Older Brother   9: Seal the Deal

    CIARA“So? Is this enough to convince you that I’m trustworthy? That I really do have plenty of evidence?” Rowan asked, but I didn’t answer. My eyes just locked onto his laptop screen as I sat in his study.It was all there—a whole folder, photos, and videos lined up in neat, damning rows. The sight of Yuri and Austin kissing made something cold twist in my stomach. Even just clicking through these files, knowing there was more, so much more, made me feel sick. Yet, I forced myself to keep going.Maybe if I saw enough, if I kept staring, my feelings for Austin would finally burn out and leave nothing behind.But the truth was, I still had feelings for him, even after all this. As much as I hated and denied it. After all, six years of loving someone doesn’t just disappear, no matter how furious you were.“You sure want to torment yourself. Is seeing one piece of evidence not enough?” Rowan’s voice broke the silence again. He was standing right next to me, close enough that I could feel
