All Chapters of Tangled With The Other Brother: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Elena's Point Of View"…is when I'm taking you," he murmured, his forehead almost touching mine, his breath warm against my lips, "with your legs wrapped around my waist." Everything in me went still. Not dramatic. Not exaggerated. Just… still. Like my brain had quietly decided to shut down for a second because it couldn't process what he had just said. The words hung in the air between us, heavy and deliberate, refusing to dissipate. I stared at him. Actually stared. My eyes searched his face for any sign he was joking, but found none. Because there was no way… No actual way, he just said that so casually, as if he'd commented on the weather rather than something that made heat crawl up my neck. My lips parted slightly, but nothing came out at first. My throat had gone dry. Then finally, "Jaxx…" My voice came out low. Almost cautious. Like I was testing whether speaking would make this moment more real or less. He didn't pull back. If anything, that smirk of his deepened just

Elena's Point Of View"Jaxx made me create something for you." For a moment, I didn't react. Not because I didn't hear her. But because my brain refused to process it. I just stared at her, my mouth slightly open, words trapped somewhere between my throat and my tongue. Waiting for her to laugh. To say she was joking. To take it back. But she didn't. She just stood there, arms folded, watching me like she was savoring every second of my confusion. There was a glint in her eye, the kind she got when she knew something I didn't. "Lexi…" My voice came out slower than I expected, careful and uncertain. "What did you just say?" She tilted her head slightly, as if repeating something obvious, her expression maddeningly calm. "I said Jaxx contacted me. Personally. Asked me to create something for you." I blinked. Once. Then again, trying to clear the fog from my thoughts. "What?" She laughed softly, a sound that held both amusement and something gentler underneath. "Oh, now you'r

Elena's Point Of ViewThe air in the dressing room hummed with an electric charge. I stood frozen, staring at the stranger reflected in the mirror… a woman I barely recognized. My fingers trembled against the silk of the skirt when a shrill phone ring shattered the silence. Lexi's phone. She lunged for it, snatching the device off the table. Her eyes flicked to me for a heartbeat before she pressed it to her ear. "Yeah? He's here?" The words tumbled out in that hushed, conspiratorial tone she reserved for her schemes. A few more whispered exchanges followed—"Just give us a minute, keep him busy"—before she snapped the phone shut with a decisive click. She turned to face me, and a slow, dangerous grin spread across her features like wildfire. "There's someone waiting for you, Lena." My stomach executed a slow, sickening somersault. A wave of panic crashed over me. "Who? Lexi, if this is some kind of setup—" "Oh, just shut up and walk," she cut me off, punctuating her words with a w

Elena's Point Of View I stared at him, my mouth hanging open just enough to betray my shock. I blinked once, then twice, the gears in my head grinding against each other as I struggled to process what he'd just said. Surely I'd misheard him. Surely this was some elaborate joke. "What?!" The word finally burst from me, sharp and high-pitched, echoing in the plush, silent interior of the car. "It's today? Like, today today?" Jaxx leaned back further into the dark leather, looking like he owned not just the car but the very air I breathed. He nodded slowly, that heavy, deliberate tilt of his head that made me feel like I was the only person in the world worthy of his attention. His eyes never left mine, pinning me in place with their intensity. "Yes, Bambina," he said, his voice smooth as aged whiskey. "Today." For a second, I simply stared at him as if he'd suddenly sprouted horns or begun speaking in tongues. The sheer audacity of this man. My chest tightened with a confu

Elena's Point Of View I sat there, frozen on his lap for a heartbeat too long, my brain feeling like it had been scrambled and then fried in the heat of that kiss. The driver's words were still echoing around the cabin, and I was trying to reconcile that information with the fact that my lipstick was smeared and my soul had practically left my body. My pulse hammered in my ears, a frantic rhythm that matched the chaos in my chest. "We are going to my grandfather's birthday party, Elena," Jaxx said, his voice returning to that smooth, effortless baritone that made it sound like we hadn't just been trying to consume each other moments ago. "What else would we be doing at an airport?" The casual tone of his question made my head spin even more. I scrambled off his lap, smoothing the silk of my dress with hands that refused to stop shaking. My fingers trembled against the delicate fabric, betraying every ounce of composure I was trying to maintain. "But... I thought we would use
