Zinnia's POV

I kissed Grayson Russo.

I KISSED Chris's brother.

God, I'm so stupid!

I jammed my door shut, my back crashing against it as I tried to catch my breath. My heart slammed against my ribs, the sound reaching my ears. I could barely hear myself breathe.

What was I thinking?

Making Chris jealous? Yeah, right. He was just using me to get on his brother's nerves, and I fell for it!

I FELL for it!

I wanted to die. I wanted to toss myself out the window.

My lips tingled. The sensory

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    19: Shirtless

    The time with Chris was amazing—he'd bought me ice cream, gifts, and so much more, but later he went to meet Elara for a public outing.A very imperfect way to end the evening.Now I was alone.Alone with my thoughts.And the demons that plagued my mind.I pulled out my phone, needing a distraction. I scrolled through my contact list until my finger landed on Iyra.I dialed her number, and on the third ring she picked up. Red lights bathed the screen, followed by the muffled sound of loud music.Iyra appeared shortly after, sweat and hair clinging to her face, her chest heaving as though she'd been dancing. She wore a frown.“You really know how to ruin a girl's evening.”I chuckled.“What? Having fun?”“Well, yes,” she grumbled. “That's all I can do since my best friend left me to go spend the entire summer with her boyfriend.”“Oh, come on. It's not like that.”“It is like that.”“You should get your own boyfriend, or you can come here. Then you'll stop feeling so lonely.”She sighe

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    18: He's Missing

    ***Zinnia’s POV***We reached the police station shortly, my heart raging in unsteady rhythms, my fingers tapping impatiently against my lap. We’d only been here for a few minutes, but it felt like hours.People came and left.And the disappointed looks on some of their faces didn't help soothe the panic rising in my chest.I knew Bruno was fine.He had to be.But what would I do if he wasn't?That thought sent a chill down my spine.Chris pressed my hand tightly, assuring me with one of his signature smiles. I released a shallow breath. Once, twice. Then the tension fled from my insides.For now.“Zinnia Maxwell!”That's me!My head snapped up immediately. An older-looking officer gestured for us to follow him.I jumped to my feet and followed him until we got to a small office. He settled into his chair before asking us to sit in the chairs opposite him.“Thank you for seeing us,” Chris said, a light smile touching his lips.The officer nodded.“Tell me what happened.”“My brother.

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    17: I Can't Lose You Too

    **Zinnia’s POV**Two palms stood before me like an open book. One belonged to the man who loved me but had also unintentionally hurt me multiple times. The other belonged to the man who made my heart race without permission, who always had me on edge, wondering what he'd do next.My throat worked with a swallow.What was I going to do?A voice screamed Chris. I wouldn't say he had changed, but I at least wanted to give him a chance to earn my forgiveness.But then there was that small voice, that very small, incomprehensible voice, whispering about the possibility of enjoying some time with Grayson.I sighed and turned to Grayson. His lips were tilted in his usual confident smirk.“I'm sorry, but you have to go. And stop coming to my practice. Just stop all this, please…”With each word, I watched as his smirk faded until his lips flattened and his face hardened. But he didn't say a word.His gaze lingered a second longer before he turned and walked to his car, driving off into the du

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    16: You Choose

    **Grayson's POV**I wasn’t stupid.I knew who my father was. He’d probably told her to keep me in my place, to protect his perfect son, and honestly, I didn’t mind.My gaze flicked up as I took in the sheer size of the building—its top scraped the sky, disappearing into the clouds. I sucked in a breath, tucking my fingers into my pockets as I made for the door.Regarding the Black Vipers case, Jin traced one of their most recent dealings to this place. My eyes raked the building once more as I took another step, guards blocking me, their faces stern.I pulled out my card, rolling my eyes.One of them leaned down, scanning the card, then my face, then back at the card.“Just because you’re an officer—”“Detective,” I corrected.He eyed me, then cleared his throat as he continued.“Detective… doesn’t mean you get to wander wherever you want.”“Do you have a warrant?” the other guard spoke.I reached into my pocket, about to pull it out, when a car pulled to a stop. A man stepped out—bro

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    15: Make Grayson Yours

    **Zinnia’s POV**I trailed behind, my chest tight, fear lingering in my bones. I turned back slightly, meeting Grayson’s eyes, but they were void of that playful charm they once carried—now they were cold, incredibly cold.I was so far away, but it didn’t stop a chill from snaking up my spine.As we pulled up to what seemed to be his study, the old man settled into his seat. I remained standing, my stomach in knots.“Have a seat,” he said calmly, gesturing to the chair. I offered a nervous smile as I pulled it out and settled down.The office was wide and exquisitely decorated, with the walls littered with business achievements and pictures between him and other billionaires, etc.Right on the table was a picture of Mrs Russo and Chris. They looked so happy, but I also noticed that Grayson wasn’t there—almost like he didn’t exist—and for some reason, it made my chest tighten with pity.I hated him.But I wasn’t inhumane.“I assume we haven’t properly talked since you arrived.” A smile

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    14: Making Chris Jealous

    Zinnia's POV I kissed Grayson Russo. I KISSED Chris's brother. God, I'm so stupid! I jammed my door shut, my back crashing against it as I tried to catch my breath. My heart slammed against my ribs, the sound reaching my ears. I could barely hear myself breathe. What was I thinking? Making Chris jealous? Yeah, right. He was just using me to get on his brother's nerves, and I fell for it! I FELL for it! I wanted to die. I wanted to toss myself out the window. My lips tingled. The sensory image of his lips touching mine replayed in my mind—the feel of his tongue brushing against mine, the way his scent invaded my senses, and the way his hand caressed my body. My finger twitched, hovering over my lower lip. I pulled it away, clenching my fist. Why the hell did I kiss him back? I could already imagine him smirking. God! I ran my fingers through my hair, banging my head against the door. I needed a shower. I needed some sleep. Yes. It would all go away and be better in the

    “Is everything okay?” Chris’s voice came through the haze.Flustered, I turned to him, our faces barely inches away from each other.I blushed slightly, leaning back.“It’s nothing, just lost in thought.”Thought or thinking about someone else.Right.Grayson.I turned, but he wasn’t there; gone wi
