~SAFFRON~

One day. It has only been one day of silence, but it feels like a lifetime.

My calls and text messages to Elixir sit in my phone—unanswered. The empty chair beside me in the main dining hall feels like a glaring hole where his steady, calm presence should be.

My own mind is a mess. Every time I close my eyes, I am back in the passenger seat of Jason’s car. I have spent the last twenty-four hours trying to figure out how he can change from being vulnerable to being cold in a heartbeat.

  • REVENGE KISS: FALLING FOR MY BAD BOY STEP BROTHER    Chapter 34: The Ghost in the Room

    ~SAFFRON~I grip the edges of Elixir’s overturned wooden nightstand and haul it upright. A few feet away, Elixir bends down to pick up two dented hockey trophies, his movements heavy and robotic. "You don't have to do this, Saff," His voice cracks as he sets the trophies back onto his desk.I look over at him, carrying a handful of torn hockey posters over to the trash can. "I want to. We're in this together."He nods slowly, reaching down to grab a broom to start sweeping up the shattered glass. Every time our hands brush while passing a stray item or clearing a shelf, Elixir offers a small, exhausted smile. The heavy, dangerous tension in his frame slowly starts to dissipate, anchored by the fact that we are fixing this together.When the floor is finally clear of glass and the furniture is back in place, an awkward, heavy silence settles over us. Elixir looks so vulnerable, so entirely drained by it all that I know I need to create a distraction before he spirals back into despair

    ~SAFFRON~One day. It has only been one day of silence, but it feels like a lifetime.My calls and text messages to Elixir sit in my phone—unanswered. The empty chair beside me in the main dining hall feels like a glaring hole where his steady, calm presence should be.My own mind is a mess. Every time I close my eyes, I am back in the passenger seat of Jason’s car. I have spent the last twenty-four hours trying to figure out how he can change from being vulnerable to being cold in a heartbeat.But Elixir’s absence is different. It feels like something is wrong. Like I have done something wrong.When I finally arrive at the Miller's Estate, everything feels quiet and cold. I find Eliana in the dining room. She looks tired, holding a cup of tea with both hands. She looks up when I walk in, her face turning into a kind, sweet smile, though her eyes are red and puffy.“Saffron,” she says softly, rising to greet me. She looks like she hasn’t slept at all.She studies my face for a moment,

  • REVENGE KISS: FALLING FOR MY BAD BOY STEP BROTHER    Chapter 032: Trapped in the Rain—Part Two

    The sincerity in his tone catches me completely off guard, leaving me breathless. Before I can find the words to respond, he looks back out at the rain, his expression tight.“It… hurts badly when you lose someone that has become a part of you. Like your chest phy-sically hurts,” he says, his voice dropping into a gravelly, pained tone that makes my chest twist. “You know I thought it was over for me when my mother died.” My lips part, a small gasp escaping me at his unexpected words.“One minute she was just… there,” he continues, his focus fixed on the raindrops streaking across the glass. “And the next, she was gone. Just a body in a hospital room, covered in machines.”Jason's chest hitches and he blinks rapidly, his throat working as he swallows hard. His body shifts restlessly in the leather seat as if he’s trying to escape the memory.“She’s in a better place,” I say softly, the words feeling small against the weight of his grief. “I believe that.”My heart aches for him. I wa

    ~SAFFRON~The front door hasn't even fully clicked shut behind me before my mother intercepts me in the foyer. She is a whirlwind of expensive perfume and stressed energy, her iPad clutched to her chest while she frantically balances a heavy manila folder in her other hand.“Oh, thank goodness you're back,” she breathes out, looking at me like I’m a lifesaver. “Saffron, sweetie, I need a massive favor. Fred’s firm had a courier emergency, and these contract addendums absolutely have to be at his partner’s estate across town before five o'clock. It’s a legal nightmare if they’re late.”I groan, a bad feeling already blooming in my chest. “Mom, I actually have a lot of studying to do for—”“Jason is heading to Fred’s office right now to drop off the master file,” she cuts in smoothly, entirely ignoring my protest as she shoves the heavy folder into my hands. “I would handle this myself, but I’m currently in the middle of a conference call with the catering planners.”Right. My stepfathe

  • REVENGE KISS: FALLING FOR MY BAD BOY STEP BROTHER    Chapter 030: Hidden Warnings

    ~SAFFRON~Eliana stands right in front of me, her hand still resting on my arm. Even in the dim shadow of the stone pillar, her beauty is striking. She has the kind of effortless, high-society elegance that makes people stop and stare. Her auburn hair falls in perfect, glossy waves around her shoulders, framing a face that looks incredibly like Elixir’s up close, yet entirely distinct. She has the same striking features, but right now, her wide eyes lack any cold arrogance I expected from her. I stare at her, completely shocked and confused. My mind races as my eyes trace the flawless curve of her jaw and her perfectly manicured hands. What could she possibly want with me? Does she want to criticize me for being with her brother? Seeing my panicked expression, Eliana quickly pulls her hand back, her face softening into a truly apologetic look. “I’m so sorry, Saffron. I didn't mean to scare you like that.”I swallow hard, trying to calm my racing heart.“I’m Eliana,” she says softly,

    ~SAFFRON~The college campus is busy and loud, but I feel like I am walking through a thick fog. Every time I close my eyes, I feel the burning heat of Jason’s bare chest against my hands. I feel the terrifying weight of us almost getting caught in the dark pantry, being forced to stand so close while doing absolutely nothing.“Saffron? Are you even listening to me?”Erica’s voice breaks through my thoughts. She is walking right next to me, her school bag slung over her shoulder as we walk across the main courtyard before heading our separate ways for our morning classes.“Sorry,” I say quickly, forcing a small smile as I look at her. “What were you saying?”“I was talking about the Mr. and Miss Sterling Heights College pageant next month,” Erica says, her eyes bright with excitement. “The anticipation is driving eme crazy, and the whole campus is buzzing about it. Honestly, Saffron, I just have this incredibly strong feeling that you are going to take the crown. You're going to be th

    ~SAFFRON~The afternoon sun filters through the leaves of the old oak on the east lawn, throwing patchy shadows over the grass where Erica and I sit. Classes let out almost an hour ago, but I told my mom they were running late so I could wait here without any questions. Erica sprawls next to me, le

    ~SAFFRON~I didn't fight it. I couldn't. It's like I'm paralyzed. His lips are surprisingly plush, parting just enough for a rush of cool mint to flood my mouth, cutting through the faint salt of his sweat. The kiss is brief, ending with a soft, wet smack that echoes in my ears, and I’m left clingi

    ~SAFFRON~The food in my stomach churns as Jason's intense blue eyes stare at me. I see him more clearly now, and good lord, he's a very beautiful boy. It has only been a few weeks, but he somehow looks more good looking than I remember him to be. I notice now that he has a sexy little cleft in his

    ~SAFFRON~“Oh my God!” I gasp, my eyes widening as my boyfriend devours a blonde chick's mouth.It looks like a hot scene from a young adult movie. I stumble back in shock, my heart beating like a war drum. It's my nineteenth birthday. He'd promised he would come to my party, but hours ago, when I
