Marked By My Best Friend's Brother 035
~ElaraMy heart pounded against my ribs like a trapped bird. "Mum, it's nobody! Just someone with the wrong address!" I called out, forcing my voice to stay as steady as humanly possible while Ryan’s body remained crushed against mine, his heat practically searing through my clothes.Without giving her a chance to question it, I grabbed Ryan by the wrist, yanked him free from the door, and pulled him quietly up the stairs.The second we crossed the threshold into my bedroom, Ryan snapped. He didn't even let me turn on the light.He lifted me effortlessly, dropping me right onto my feet inside the room, and before I could even catch my breath, his big hands were everywhere. He yanked my top over my head in one fluid, aggressive motion, tossing it blindly onto the floor, his eyes dark and ravenous in the dim light."Wait Ryan, let me lock the door!" I gasped, trying to step around him.He didn't even let me take a full step. "I'll do it," he growled.He darted across the room, slammed

~ElaraI was on video call with Aria.She sat on the edge of my bed, her knees pulled up to her chest, staring blankly at the floor. I had never seen my best friend look so defeated, so completely drained of her usual sharp energy.I was just about to say something to comfort her when a sudden, firm knock rattled the front door downstairs."Mum!" I called out, raising my voice so she could hear me down the hall. "Can you get the door?""I'm in the middle of making dinner, sweetie!" my mum shouted back from the kitchen. "Get it for me, please!"I let out a small sigh, giving Aria a reassuring look before standing up. "Hold that thought. I'll be right back."I walked out of my room, headed downstairs, and made my way toward the front door. I pulled it open without looking, expecting a delivery or one of the neighbors.My heart stopped.Standing on my door stairs, looking impossibly tall and broad, was Ryan. Instinct took over before my brain could even catch up,I slammed the door strai

~AriaMy stomach dropped into a bottomless pit."Maya..." I let go of Sienna’s collar so fast it was like her jacket had caught fire. I took a hurried step toward the porch, hands raised in desperation. "Maya, please go back inside. Let me explain.""No," Maya whispered, taking a trembling step backward toward the threshold. Her knuckles were white where she gripped the glass vase. "No, Aria. Who is she? Why is she saying those things?"Sienna slowly smoothed down the lapels of her leather jacket, her face twisting into a cold, triumphant grin. She didn't miss a beat."She's talking about me, sweetie," Sienna called out, her voice dripping with artificial sweetness as she stepped out from beside Maya's car. "I’m Sienna. Aria’s real girlfriend. The one who actually knows what she is, where she comes from, and who she belongs to.""Shut the hell up, Sienna!" I roared, turning on her with raw fury. "Don't you dare talk to her!"Maya’s eyes welled with tears as she looked from Sienna to m

~AriaMaya wiped her mouth with a napkin, a playful glint in her eyes as she set her empty plate down on the counter.“That was delicious,” she said, tilting her head up at me. “Now... about that dessert you promised.”I stepped right between her knees as she sat on the stool, wrapping my hands around her waist. “I’m a woman of my word. But the real question is, do we go to my bedroom first, or do we stay right here on this kitchen counter?”Maya’s cheeks flushed, but she didn’t back down. “The bedroom is more comfortable.”“The counter is much more fun,” I countered, running my thumb over her hipbone. “And I’m already halfway dressed, or rather, halfway undressed.”Maya laughed, her hands resting on my bare shoulders. “We can’t just agree?”“Nope,” I smirked. “So, we settle this like mature adults.”She raised an eyebrow. “And how do mature adults settle this?”“Rock, paper, scissors,” I said completely deadpan. “Best of one. Winner chooses where dessert is served.”Maya let out a so

~AriaI hesitated for a second before walking toward the door, still wrapped in only a towel. My headache was still there, and the last thing I wanted was company.I unlocked the door and pulled it open.Maya.The moment I saw her standing there, something in my chest eased almost instantly. The irritation I had felt just seconds ago softened, and my mood lightened without me even trying.She looked slightly nervous, holding her bag with both hands, but the second her eyes met mine, she smiled.“Hi,” she said softly. “I hope I’m not disturbing you.”I leaned against the doorframe, suddenly a lot less interested in being alone.“You’re not,” I replied, my voice quieter than before. “I just… wasn’t expecting anyone.”Maya’s eyes briefly flickered down to the towel wrapped around me before she quickly looked back up, a light blush creeping onto her cheeks.“I was worried,” she admitted. “You left school so suddenly, and you weren’t replying. I just wanted to check on you.”That warmth in

~AriaThe next morning came too fast.I woke up earlier than usual, staring at the ceiling for a few minutes before forcing myself out of bed. My mind was already a mess before the day even started. Between Elara’s situation with Ryan and that unexpected reappearance of Sienna, I barely got any real sleep.I got ready quietly, pulled on a simple crop top and jeans, and tied my hair up. By the time I made it downstairs, the house was still mostly quiet. Ryan’s car wasn’t in the driveway, which meant he had already left.Good. I wasn’t ready to deal with my brother’s intensity this early.I grabbed my keys and headed to school.The moment I arrived on campus, the usual noise of students filled the air. I walked through the hallway with my bag hanging off one shoulder, eyes scanning the crowd without really meaning to.A part of me was looking for Maya. Another part was hoping I wouldn’t run into Sienna.And of course, my mind kept drifting back to Elara. After everything that happened
