ETHAN'S pov

I was supposed to be finding peace.

That was the whole damn point of the Riot—music, chaos, and release. To let go of everything I'd been dragging behind me like rusted chains. I was supposed to find my center, my balance, my calm.

But how the hell was I supposed to do that when every time I looked at Aaron, my chest felt like it was being crushed?

He said things, acted in ways that tore open wounds I'd sworn had already healed. One minute he was near, the next he was gone, and I stood there, choking on air that didn't feel like enough. How could someone make me want to punch a wall and pull him close in the same heartbeat? How could he look at me like I still mattered when he'd been the one to walk away?

It was all a storm.

A tornado named Aaron Warner.

The lights faded, the music dissolved into the night, and I still couldn't tell what I was supposed to be feeling. Confused. Angry. Heartbroken. Relieved. All of it twisted together, one ugly knot that wouldn't come undone

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    MR. GENTLEMEN

    Mandy's POVHis presence seemed to be everywhere.It was in the way the air seemed warmer when he moved, in the quiet gravity that pulled my attention back to him no matter where I looked. My heart kept tripping over itself, skipping beats like it had forgotten how to function properly. Every nerve felt alive, buzzing, embarrassingly aware, a pool already forming in-between my thighs.He finished hanging the rest of the paintings with precise care, stepped back to inspect them like it really mattered that they were straight, then returned to the couch and went back to his toast: calm, composed, almost innocent.As if he hadn't just unravelled me completely.I stood there a second longer than was necessary, forcing myself to breathe like a normal person before walking back over and sitting beside him.“Thank you,” I said softly. “For helping with the paintings.”He nodded, swallowing the last bite, wiping his hands on a napkin. Casual. Grounded. The exact opposite of how I felt.“So,”

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    SAFE PLACE

    Connor’s POVMy hand shaking, I knocked on Mandy’s door.I was going to miss my flight. I knew that. The notification had already buzzed twice on my phone, final boarding call warnings I kept ignoring like background noise. I didn't care. Texas could wait. Everything could wait.She'd said she'd be coming home today, taking a day off work. Said it like it meant nothing. Now, though, she was the only thing keeping my sanity stitched together by a fraying thread.Jack had already left that morning, muttering something about the office and deadlines and “damage control.” He was mad at me. I knew that but his reasons felt distant, almost invalid compared to the chaos roaring in my head. Nothing mattered more than the fact that the man I'd called my best friend was a criminal. A killer. And the person I loved most in the world-my brother-had been caught right in the blast radius.I felt as if my ears were going to rip from my head.My heart was racing so hard, it felt like it would tear

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend     A BETTER PUNISHMENT

    Aaron's POV The words slipped from my lips before I could hold them back. They were silent, ugly, and definite.“I killed him.”Connor remained perfectly motionless for a second.He just looked at me.I studied the look on his face—the way his eyebrows came together, the way his mouth opened slightly as if he'd misunderstood. As if his mind was literally slamming the door shut on the sentence. This was a look I'd seen on him before, back when we were kids, and something just hadn’t clicked.“You—” he began, then halted. “What do you mean you killed him?”It wasn’t loud yet. It was a confused tone. A tentative tone. As if he was getting near a wild beast that might bite him.“My stepfather,” I began, my voice thick with emotion. “Paul. I"You killed him?" Connor cut in, his tone sharper now. "Saying it like it's—like it's a phrase you'd practiced. What do you mean you killed your step-dad?"I swallowed. My chest was far too small for my lungs. “It wasn’t planned. It wasn’t—God, Con

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    A DARK VOID

    Connor's POVI walked back into the hospital the next morning feeling the kind of exhaustion that sleep wouldn't fix. My body moved on autopilot, but my mind was still trapped in last night-looping, replaying, refusing to let anything settle. Every step down the hallway felt heavier than the last, like the building itself knew I didn't belong here anymore.I don't think I could ever be more excited to claim anyone as my girlfriend.The realization came out of nowhere, sharp and unwelcome. Mandy's smile. The way her eyes softened when she looked at me, like she saw past the damage and liked what she found anyway. It should've been the happiest thing I'd felt in years.But not now.It wasn't right, framing something that beautiful inside the ugly, twisted mess my life had become. She didn't deserve to be tied to this-to me, like this.I remembered asking her to follow me back to my hotel. Dinner, a drink, something normal. Something that didn't remind me of my current pain.She hesita

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    THE UNRAVELING

    Aaron’s POVPain was the first thing that greeted me as I opened my eyes.It wasn't sharp. It wasn't sudden. It was deep, heavy, everywhere-like my body had been dropped from a great height and forgotten at the bottom. My head throbbed with a dull, relentless ache, each heartbeat sending a pulse of agony straight through my skull. I groaned-the sound barely leaving my throat before it dissolved into a rasp.My right eye refused to open.The first thing that came to my mind was that I had gone blind.The panic fluttered weakly in my chest as I tried again, trying harder to force my eyelid upward. A blur of color swam into view-dark bruised hues bleeding into one another. Purple. Blue. Black. The world on that side looked like it had been dunked in ink.Black eye. Whatever they medically call it, it felt like hell.The ceiling above me was starkly white, too bright; the fluorescent lights drilled straight into my already pounding skull. I stared at it, unmoving, because moving hurt. Br

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    HE LOVES ME HE LOVES ME NOT

    Ethan’s POVI called Connor’s number again.Right into voicemail.My thumb hovered over the screen, my heart pounding so hard in my ears that I could have sworn the sound was coming from inside my head. I tried again, like the fourth attempt would somehow magically differ from the previous three. Like the universe would finally figure I'd sufficiently panicked, sufficiently suffered, and grant me his voice.Voicemail“Fuck,” I whispered, pulling my hand through my hair.“I hadn’t known this would happen.” Except: “I hadn’t known—or how could I have known that telling the truth would cause all this: breaking bones, shredding lungs, reopening wounds that were never quite closed?” “I sat on the edge of my childhood bed, bouncing my knees, my foot tapping out its time on the floor, more like a tremor than movement.”Perhaps I should have waited.This notion scratched its way up my chest and embedded itself there. Perhaps I should have broken the news to Connor in private. perhaps I
