Too Busy To Care

“We’re wrapping up the final project,” Lauren said, pointing at the screen as the slides transitioned. Her voice was crisp, professional. I tapped my fingers against my chin, considering the information.

“I assume you’ve kept Mr. Hampton in the loop?” I asked, watching her expression. Lauren nodded and moved away from the screen, her focus shifting to gathering her files.

The office was quiet, the others having left after the board meeting. My recent trip to Spain had paid off—I’d managed to secure a deal with a man whose investment I’d been pursuing for months.

“Yes, I have. He seemed quite impressed,” Lauren replied. I nodded again and stood. She busied herself with packing her files, not sparing me a glance.

This was precisely why I enjoyed working with Lauren. She wasn’t one of those women who threw coy smiles in my direction or pretended to be mesmerized by me. She didn’t care about my looks, let alone my personality—which, admittedly, was nothing to writ

  • My Best Friend's Brother    Snow

    ~Astrid~I had no idea how Adrian managed it, but we were in England within two days, and goodness—it was snowy.I’d never been more excited about anything in my whole life. Tugging at his arm, I pointed at a car half-covered in snow as he pulled keys from his pocket and unlocked a door.Well, he’d said we weren’t going to stay at a hotel, and then he went all out and rented a summer house sitting pretty by the side of the road.It was nice. And the thought of having him all to myself for the next few days was thrilling. Okay, yeah—a lot of things thrilled me.He hummed, glanced down at me, then followed the direction I was pointing. He raised a brow. I giggled.“Do you think we can maybe catch some snow later?” I asked.He pressed his lips together before dropping his eyes to mine. Those pretty brown eyes, framed by lashes far too long for a man—if you ask me.“No, we can’t,” he said, adjusting the coat around me before pushing the door open and holding it out for me.I pursed my lip

  • My Best Friend's Brother    I love you

    Astrid“Right there, huh?” His voice was husky, a whisper right above me. I arched my back, my eyes drifting closed as my lips parted.His finger rubbed circles on my clit while teasing my entrance. Probably wondering how we got here.We’d gone for lunch as he’d suggested, and heaven knows I’d wanted something other than food. He had stared at me like he knew what I wanted and was going to give it to me—just like he was right now.“Be a good girl, yeah?” he continued, propping himself higher so he could hold my gaze while his finger worked magic down there.“Please.” My voice came out as a broken whisper, just like I’d been begging for the past ten minutes. He was a tease, and it fucking drove me crazy.“Hm.” He hummed, dipped his head, and slipped one of my very hard nipples into his mouth. I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him closer.God, this was torture.“Adrian,” I breathed, feeling my orgasm just around the corner. But I knew he’d slow down again, drag it out until the tide

  • My Best Friend's Brother    Proposal

    AdrianShe pulled back and stared at me, her eyes searching my face. Fear and panic swam in those beautiful blue eyes.I cupped her face with one hand, my thumb ghosting along her cheek, close to her lips.“You’re here,” she whispered.I nodded, a small smile tugging at my mouth as my gaze traced the outline of her face—the delicate curve of her jaw, the strands of hair framing it.She was breathtaking.“Is Maya in?” I asked.She glanced behind her, then shook her head, licking her lips.“No, she’s not. I just got here,” she mumbled.I pursed my lips and nodded. She gave me that look again—like she was bracing herself.“Do I have to talk to Joan to convince Aaron? Maybe she’d have a better shot than us. I mean, she’s—”I shook my head, smiling gently. Her concern was sweet, almost too much. She had nothing to worry about.Her face fell, expression clouding.“So…” her voice cracked as she blinked rapidly. I rubbed her cheek with my thumb. “You lost your job?”I drew back, brows knittin

  • My Best Friend's Brother    Finality

    AstridHe was gone half the day. I stayed at the house a couple more hours before I eventually left and drove to Mum’s.I knocked on the door, holding the small bag I’d brought along, waiting for her to open it. Freya did.“Hey, sis,” she grinned, pulling me into a hug before stepping back and opening the door wider. I stepped inside, glancing around.“Where’s Mum?” I asked as she followed behind me.“She’s at work. It’s her shift,” she muttered, and I hummed before walking to the couch and sitting down.Weirdly, it didn’t feel like I belonged here anymore.Adrian’s house felt more like home. Not because I hated Mum or Freya—but because I’d found home in someone. Yeah, I was going to leave, but after talking things out with him, I felt lighter.I didn’t feel judged. I felt… seen.Freya had come back home after everything happened. Mum needed help, and me moving back in made things a lot. So yeah—we kind of needed her around. Our relationship with Mum wasn’t the same anymore—it probabl

  • My Best Friend's Brother    Prison

    ADRIAN I arrived in New York three hours after talking my woman out of running. And my guess—that she was trying to run—was fucking right. She wasn’t a hard one to talk to. She promised she wouldn’t try anything funny and that we’d talk once I returned. I knew what that talk would be about: the way forward in our relationship. What comes next? If I’m being honest, I already knew. I planned to propose to her again—this time not fake, not just shoving a metal ring on her finger, but getting down on one knee and professing my love, just like I always intended. Gary and the men we caught were moved to the prison here in New York, where they’d be tried in court. I knew the way to the prison. I made sure they were locked up. My phone rang, and I swerved left to avoid hitting the car in front of me. I glanced at the screen—Aaron. Of course. We were supposed to meet by ten, and if I had to guess, it was already ten. I didn’t know how long the meeting would take, but I wanted to see a cer

  • My Best Friend's Brother    Confession

    Adrian“Mum, I’m not a kid,” “No, I’m fine,”I peeled my eyes open slowly. Astrid was sitting on the edge of the bed, her back to me and her phone pressed against her ear. She scratched her hair and groaned.“Jesus.” She pulled her phone away from her ear and stared down at it before returning it to her ear. “It’s 4:29 am. It’s too early,” she muttered and then fell silent.I watched her without interrupting. She was talking to her mum, I knew that. And I also knew why Maya was calling.Ever since Astrid moved out of the house, she’d been staying at her mum’s. Then, the one night she doesn’t return home, Maya is worried. Well, she is supposed to.Judging from the fact that Astrid didn’t call her all the way home from the restaurant or the whole afternoon to tell her she wouldn’t be returning for the night and would crash at my place instead, it made sense that her mum was worried.“I told you. My phone had been on silent all day and I didn’t see your calls,” she said and I pursed my l
