I walked behind him as we reached for the stairs. For some reason, I was pissed that he threatened to do something to Alexander, even though he didn’t directly cause me to cry.

“Why would you say something like that?” I snapped, immediately reaching to grab Adrian by his wrist as he got to the stairs. “Is that some kind of threat?”

“And what if it is, princess,” he said, turning to face me. “Why are you being so defensive? Aren’t you supposed to be my girl?”

“I can be his girl too,” I said quickly, too quickly.

Adrian paused. His eyes narrowed, and he was probably thinking about what I had said.

“His girl?” he repeated. “No... no. I don’t know what you guys were doing up in that villa, but you’re not his girl. Not on my watch.”

“Well.” I looked away a bit. “I am not his girl. He has someone else.”

“Oh,” Adrian raised a brow. “Is that why you asked me to pick you up that late? And is that why you were in the kitchen all sad?”

“Was I sad?” I asked, forcing a laugh. “I wasn’t sad

  • Tempted By My Sister's Boyfriend   Still Ours

    There was something about the sound of bustling students and the smell of fresh books that made everything feel new again. Maybe it was the sunshine that streamed through the tree-lined walkways, or the way the campus hummed with energy. But mostly, it was him—the thought of seeing him again on campus. “Can you believe we’re actually happy to be back at school?” Sloane grinned beside me, flipping her curls as we walked out of the parking lot. “I know,” I said, chuckling. “It feels... different.” What I didn’t say out loud was that I hadn’t smiled this much in days. And it wasn’t just because classes had resumed, it was because of the call I got this morning. Alexander had called this morning, telling me that Ramona was gone. She had canceled her transfer and left L.A., finally. Just like that, no drama. My heart had exhaled. As Sloane and I neared the academic buildings, the crowds of students thinned, scattering into lecture halls and classrooms. And that’s when I saw him. Acro

  • Tempted By My Sister's Boyfriend   The End Game

    Yesterday was such a relief. It was nice to finally let go of my guilt and come clean about my relationship with Adrian to Alexander. But I couldn’t keep reliving the moment as I and Sloane got ready for our Sunday brunch. The soft clang of our heels echoed through the dorm hallway. I was laughing as Sloane nudged me playfully, her curls bouncing with every step. “I swear, if they serve that god-awful mushroom quiche again, I’m calling for a culinary uprising,” she said, twirling her phone in her hand like a blade. “They need to be sued,” I chuckled, swinging the door shut behind us. We’d barely taken three steps towards the stairwell when the elevator dinged behind us. We both turned instinctively, and there she was. Ramona stepped out of the elevator like a ghost into daylight. She was perfectly dressed in a structured cream trench coat and slim heels. Sloane stiffened beside me. “You’ve got to be kidding.” My throat dried up. My laughter dissolved like sugar in scalding wate

  • Tempted By My Sister's Boyfriend   A Heart Too Kind

    Alexander exhaled softly. “Wanna grab a drink or something?” he asked. I shook my head. “No, thanks. I think I’m okay.” He bit his lower lip and nodded. “Do you remember the evening you forgot something in my car? A pouch with a chain bracelet in it.” “Oh! Yeah. I remember.” “Yeah,” he said, forcing a smile. “After I dropped you off at your dorm, I saw the pouch. I turned back to give it to you, but I saw you talking to him—I mean Adrian. I didn’t move any further. I just waited. Then I saw you get into his car.” I swallowed hard. I already knew where this was going, and I, for sure, didn’t want to hear it aloud from Alexander’s lips. “I guess you know what happens next,” he scoffed. “I had to turn and leave after you came out of his car. Your face looked flushed. I just knew something had happened in there.” My heart slammed against my chest as I prayed that the ground would open and swallow me whole. “I became suspicious. Then came the double date with your sister. He was un

  • Tempted By My Sister's Boyfriend   The Real Honesty

    “Lie?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “Yes, Kim,” he shook his head. “And I know this because I’ve known about your relationship with him for a really long time.” I blinked. “What?” “I know about you and Adrian,” he said calmly again. “I’ve known for a really, really long time now, Kim.” My throat closed up. “What... what do you mean you knew?” He turned toward me; his eyes had gotten darker and intense. “Exactly what I said.” And in that moment, I swear the ground beneath me shifted. “Why do you keep lying, Kim?” he asked. “Why?” “But—” “Yes,” he exhaled softly. “You were honest about your relationship with Adrian, but that’s not all. You lied about how deep it is. You tell me you’ve not slept with him, and that you didn’t mean for it to happen—” “But all that—I mean... most of it is true,” I said, cutting him mid-sentence. “Kim,” he said calmly. “Would you please let me finish?” “Sure,” I nodded. “You also said Sloane didn’t know about it.” He shook his head

  • Tempted By My Sister's Boyfriend   The Edge Of Confession

    His eyes didn’t leave mine. He didn’t even speak, he just... looked. It was hard to breathe the way he kept staring at me, as if he was trying to pull the truth straight out of my bones. But I held my gaze steady, feigning confusion behind a mask that was starting to crack. “Tell you what?” I repeated, forcing a small, nervous laugh. “You’re being cryptic, Vaughn.” His jaw flexed, but he didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he just stared at me for a long, aching beat, his expression remaining unreadable. My heart thudded loud enough that I was sure he could hear it. “I’m not trying to accuse you of anything, Kim,” he said finally. “But I know there’s something you’re not saying. Something... that’s been weighing on you since Italy.” I looked down at my hands in my lap, fingers knotting themselves. “We’ve both had things weighing on us.” “But you’re still hiding,” he replied quietly. I swallowed hard. My voice was barely audible. “And if I am?” Alexander leaned back slightly, ex

  • Tempted By My Sister's Boyfriend   The Truth He Deserves

    It was Saturday morning, and the dorm room already smelled like caramel latte that Sloane had brought in for both of us. Soft breeze entered the room through the window that was slightly cracked open. After Italy, we weren’t in the mood to continue pretending we were carefree girls on a break because the first week had taken more from us than it gave. It stole the sparkle from our eyes. “I swear, this guy’s face is what sends me,” Sloane said through a laugh, tilting her laptop screen in my direction. “Look at how he reacts when his mom walks in!” I curled up closer beside her on the bed, watching the guy in the video try to hide his vape and pretend to be asleep. The mom burst in like a sitcom character, and I laughed. “I want her energy,” I murmured. “No one’s allowed to live with that much dramatic flair and still be functional.” “Kim,” Sloane said with a mock scolding tone, “you’ve literally just described Ramona.” My laugh fell short, and I blinked. Sloane noticed the shift
