My smile freezes on my face and I don’t know if I should wipe it off totally or not.

We can only be sex partners.

Did he change his mind after having sex with me because he realized he wants more of the sex? Is sex the only thing I’m good for?

Christian is still looking at me in that inspecting way as he adds, “I can help you get back at Levi, but you can’t be my girlfriend. Do you agree to this, Lyra?”

I should tell him to go fuck himself.

I really should, but whatever this is we have between us, it’s intriguing and addictive, and though a feeling of bitterness wells up inside me at his offer, I nod all the same, “That’s fine by me.”

If he says I can’t be his girlfriend, then that’s fine. Since he says he’ll help me get back at Levi, sure, I might be selling myself short at the moment.

Anyone with a bit more dignity and less desperation would probably throw Christian’s offer back in his face and leave this room, but I want too much to leave it all on the table because of the terms he

  • One Night's Mistake: Claimed by my Boyfriend's Brother.   Chapter 31: Trashy man's return.

    “What do you think you’re doing!?”In the four years I’ve spent in the university walls, I’ve never spoken to Estel for more than a minute, so maybe that’s why I had no idea that she could sound equal parts furious and scary if she wanted to.The sound of her voice sends a chill down my spine and it does the same to Cassie because she drops her hand, an odd look crossing her face as she looks between both of us.Like she remembers her position in this school, Cassie’s gaze turns haughty again, her voice becoming vapid as she quips, “And who invited you into OUR private conversation? If I wanted someone to hold my textbooks, I’d have asked for you. Now leave!”Estel stands her ground like Cassie never even spoke in the first place, all the while directing a condescending look at her as she responds, “Maybe if you ever bothered to open a textbook, you would have had enough knowledge to do your thesis yourself, not rope your friend into doing it for you. Were you about to hit her just no

  • One Night's Mistake: Claimed by my Boyfriend's Brother.   Chapter 30: The secret ally.

    Lyra’s pov.My head hurts as I stare at the document in front of me.A yawn escapes my lips, and I feel my eyes water from the force of it. I barely slept last night.Today’s the day I defend my thesis. The thesis I have spent months on end working on, getting chapters and references alike approved, today is the defense, and with the way I’ve been trying my best not to botch this up…“Shit,” I hiss against the onslaught of a headache and massage the plane of my forehead.I’m prepared for my defense… I’ve worked on this thesis for months on end now and I can recite the words on the pages in my sleep, so there’s nothing for me to be worried about. I really want to believe that, but when the sun finally creeps its rays through my windows, I know the only one who can make that true is me. It all depends on how well I perform today.Letting my eyes wander around the empty room once again, I notice, despite how much I have promised myself not to, I still notice that this room has housed onl

  • One Night's Mistake: Claimed by my Boyfriend's Brother.   Chapter 29: Who he is.

    Gradually, Mr. Ranulf doesn't push questions to him anymore.He asks me directly, and before the end of the night, there’s a new look in the man’s eyes, one of mutual acknowledgment as we end the discussions and he compliments me, “You are an astonishingly intelligent woman, Lyra.Companies will be fighting to have your knowledge on their side when you graduate, and I will be first in line.”I smile at him, perhaps the first genuine smile I have smiled tonight, as I accept his compliment with one of my own, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ranulf. It’s been my pleasure speaking to you.”As a waiter arrives with a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne and filled flutes, Mr. Ranulf takes one glass and drains it in a swift move before he gets up. Christian follows suit, that look of ruthless efficiency in his eyes as he and Mr. Ranulf engage in light conversation while making their way downstairs.I get up, following closely while Levi trails behind.As we make our way outside the restauran

    “Nothing’s wrong.”The response is simple and calm. I feel very satisfied with myself when I hear it and I stride out of the lounge, heading back towards the table without waiting for a response from either of them.The moment I’m out of the lounge my expression threatens to sour and tears sting the back of my eyes.Today is a disaster. Not only because of this farce of an anniversary, but because now I know my true place.I know this is all a game to both of them.A game to see who can use Lyra the most.“Lyra!”I ignore Levi’s voice calling me and continue walking.When his hand wraps tightly around my arm my eyes fly wide open and I make to protest but the look in Levi’s eyes stops me. Levi looks furious.His voice is seething as he speaks, “How dare you speak to my brother like that?”My mind blanks out for a moment as I try to convince myself that this isn’t real. That this isn’t happening, but the pain around my arm feels very real.The anger in Levi’s eyes looks authentic, and

  • One Night's Mistake: Claimed by my Boyfriend's Brother.   Chapter 27: It's you.

    I grab Christian’s hand and drag him down the hall, away from the pair of Levi and Mr. Ranulf and instead into the first empty room I can see.Anyone who’s heard of The Velvet Table also knows they have multiple high-end lounge rooms. We’re in one of them right now and I’m trying not to lose my temper or my shit.Christian has let me drag him in here but now his icy blue eyes stare at me, cool calmness in them as he waits for the outburst currently building up in me to explode.I want to.I want to scream at him and let out my anger, because I was dragged here thinking I was attending an anniversary dinner but instead I’m getting used as a prop for someone else. I want to let out the devastation that makes me feel, except one look at Christian lets me know I can’t blame him for any of that.He’s not the one who told me he wanted us to celebrate our anniversary. His despicable brother was.But he… He’s not entirely innocent either.I keep my voice as level as I can as I ask, “Did you k

  • One Night's Mistake: Claimed by my Boyfriend's Brother.   Chapter 26: Surprise at the Velvet Table.

    Wide, amazed, eyes stare back at me and for once, they’re not my own.The wine red dress I’m in clings to my body like a second skin. It’s made entirely of blood red beading and as I look at my reflection in the mirror, it’s hard for me to even take my eyes off myself.The red of the dress is a perfect match to the shade of my hair and it’s fitted enough that it hugs my frame. It would be a normal beaded red dress, if not for the diamonds incorporated into certain areas of the dress, like my breasts, ass, and hips, the straps holding it against my body and running across my open back.They’re really pretty diamonds, they sparkle so well, but… even the attendant looks worried when I turn back to her, her eyes flick to the diamonds and she smirks as she adds, “I told you the dress was a bit racy. All anyone will be able to pay attention to is the diamonds, because the dress was meant to draw attention there. It’s like one of those dresses you’d see on the Met Gala. It’s obviously for at
