Ethan's POV

I took another bite of chicken wrap as Riley went on another tale, about an ambassador and a dog that wouldn't shake hands with him. It was absurd, yet somehow amusing enough to make me chuckle.

He was nice in that too-bubbly kind of way—smart, maybe too talkative—but harmless. His energy filled the room and, for the first time in days, my head wasn't spinning with Aaron Warner. My chest didn't hurt with lingering heartache and unsaid words for the first time in days.

Riley made another joke, and I nearly choked on my drink. "You're crazy," I laughed.

He smiled, taking a sip of his juice. "You've been holding your head like it's gonna explode. You need tea. Or a massage. I'm a fantastic masseuse—ask literally anyone."He said, jiggling his eyebrows.

I laughed harder, groaning. "You're unbelievable."

"At least I'm fun."

He wasn't telling a lie. I did not care that half the things he said bored me—I needed this distraction. Anything to keep me away from Aaron. From that kiss.

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    WHAT LIES IN THE LAKE

    Gil’s POVI was tired. Not tired enough that a night’s rest would cure me of my fatigue but tired to my very bones; tired enough that taking a breath was an effortMy own arms were aching from holding Amelia, her small form weighed down by her sleepiness, her head resting snug in the crook of my neck, as if it were her rightful place. This was what she always did when she was frightened or undone, and she certainly had cause to be both tonight.Aaron's fingers relaxed around my shoulders, slow and gentle, as if he could sense my fatigue through my skin. The instant he relaxed his grip, something in my chest gave way.I locked eyes with him, really saw him, and my heart ripped in two.One side of me wanted me to drag him back into my arms and hold him like I used to when he was young and crying about skinned knees or smashed toys.That part wanted to erase the past six years. It wanted to forget that anything bad had occurred. It wanted my son to be my son again.The other half of me w

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    NO LOVE LIKE A MOTHER'S

    Aaron’s POVMy voice cracked when I reached for her. “Mum, please.” She flinched like my hand was poison. Like I’d turned into something disgusting, something she wanted nothing to do with. Her eyes were already red and shiny, full of pain I’d carved into her. She shook her head, slow and final, and my chest split open. “You are not my son,” she said. She didn’t scream it. She just let the words fall, flat and lifeless. “I don’t want to see you again. Ever. You should leave. You’re not needed here.” And that was it. Whatever was left inside me just… vanished. Not broken. Not bruised. Gone. I dropped to my knees. Didn’t even mean to. The floor was freezing, but it barely registered. I wrapped my arms around her legs, desperate, like I was a little kid again and she might stay if I just held on. Like this was still home. “Mum, please,” I begged, sobbing. “I’m begging you. I don’t have anyone else. I swear I don’t. Please.” She didn’t touch me. Didn’t shove me off. Sh

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    MORE THAN A NEED

    Aaron’s POVThere had been weeks of complete silence. Weeks that had reduced the world to a small, crushing box that I was trapped inside. I had been discharged from the hospital a few days ago, but I had found that leaving that antiseptic room had not set me free—it had merely made life even more cumbersome. My home, that once had been a refuge for me, now seemed empty, resonating with every beat of my heart like a morbid reminder that life was going on, even though I was stuck in suspended animation.Every fiber of me hurt. My cuts and bruises were only the physical manifestation of the pain, but the ache within me, the hollow feeling, the flux of guilt that roiled through me like an insatiable monster, that was mine. Cheryl and Mandy had become my lifelines, coming by periodically to make sure I was holding together somewhat, but those relationships had frayed too. I can see it—the tension marking Cheryl's face, the tired slump of Mandy's shoulders as she smiled, but they still f

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    I NEED TO PROTECT YOU

    Connor's POVMandy was deep asleep next to me, curled into me like she was meant to be there, like she had always been there.My phone buzzed quietly against the couch cushions. The screen emitted a soft glow against the darkness in the room. I looked down without curiosity, already aware of its contents.Boarding for your flight will start in an hour.I shut my eyes.I had bought the flight during the movie, softly, delicately, as if whispering in an actual physical location would shatter whatever temporary world we had constructed for ourselves. Texas was calling me back: family, unresolved business, rage that still lingered in my chest, but parting with her didn’t feel right.Coming here had been a mistake. A beautiful one. The kind that undoes you slowly.I bent down and planted a kiss on her forehead. Then another one, and then another, as if the only way I could halt the passage of time was by kissing her enough.She stirred,“Connor?” She spoke with a voice thick with sleep,

  • 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
