All Chapters of Kissed My Ex's Brother : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Elena ~I still remember how stupidly happy I was that evening the kind of happiness that makes your chest ache because it feels too good to be real. I stood in front of the mirror, smiling at my reflection like an idiot in love, the maroon dress hugging me in all the right places while my curls brushed softly against my shoulders just the way he liked. I couldn't stop thinking about him, about tonight, about how after weeks of canceled plans and distant texts, he finally wanted to see me he'd messaged that morning, "Tonight's special. Be ready at 8," just six words that kept me floating the whole day."Where are you going, Elena?"My mother's voice snapped me back to reality. I blinked, forcing a calm smile. "Out with Lila. She's had a rough week."A lie one I'd gotten too good at telling, because if my parents ever found out I was dating someone, they'd lose their minds. In their world, love was something that came after marriage, only if it was approved, arranged, and practical not

Elena ~Our lips met, and for one impossible heartbeat the world stopped I didn't breathe, didn't think, just felt the heat, the shock, the wrongness of it crashing through me until reality hit like ice water.What the hell was I doing?I just kissed my ex's brother yes, ex, because after what Alex did I couldn't call him my boyfriend anymore, I was ending it right here in my head.I pulled back fast, my chest heaving."I… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—"But Adrian's gaze held mine, dark and unreadable, searching deepuntil some man ran up shouting, "Boss! He ran away!"Adrian's whole expression shifted cold in an instant."You're in danger," he said flatly. "Go home. Now."I wanted to ask why but his tone shut down everything. He ordered one of his men to follow me, make sure I got home safe, then gave me one last look that burned with warning and something else I couldn't name.The drive home blurred into lights and noise and silence, all churning into a storm inside me, my heart tang

Elena ~“Talking about me, love?”Adrian’s voice rolled smooth and teasing through the hallway as he stepped right up behind me his arm slid protectively around my waist, that simple touch sending warmth rushing down my spine while my heart slammed hard against my ribs, freezing me in place even as everything inside me wanted to bolt.He turned that effortless smile on the group staring at us, eyes locking with mine first before he murmured low, “You’re looking breathtaking tonight, my love.”That word love echoed heavy in the air, punching straight through me my eyes went wide because he’d just called me his love right there in front of everyone, my mind spinning wild wondering how the hell he’d even shown up here, saying things that made my knees weak when I was still trying to piece myself together after Alex.Still half in shock, I tried stepping back for some space to breathe through the chaos exploding in my head, but Adrian just tightened his grip slightly his breath brushed ho

Elena ~The silence after that door crash felt like the world imploded Alex stood frozen in the doorway, eyes bulging with disbelief that twisted instant into white-hot rage, face purpling red as he took in my naked body still draped over Adrian, sweat gleaming on our skin, his hands possessive on my hips like I was his territory now. My stomach dropped hard, panic clawing up my throat oh god he'd seen *everything*, the fresh bite marks on my neck, my ripped dress in shreds at my feet, the way we'd just shattered every boundary between us. Two years I'd held back for *him* and now his brother had taken me raw and complete right where he could watch."Get your fucking hands off her!" Alex bellowed, lunging wild fists balled, veins popping in his neck but Adrian reacted lightning fast, easing me gentle behind him while yanking up his pants, body shifting into an unbreakable wall between us, eyes narrowing to lethal slits. "Back the fuck off," Adrian snarled low, voice dripping ice-cold

Adrian ~The intercom buzzed sharp, cutting through our quiet morning.“Adrian Knight, open up. Police.”I stood up calmly from the bed, pulling on my pants, while Elena froze beside me. Her face drained white as she gripped the sheets tight, like they could protect her.Cops didn’t worry me. They never did. But seeing her panic so clear in her eyes, I kept my voice even as I walked to the panel and pressed the talk button.“What do you want?” I asked flat, giving them nothing extra.“Mr. Knight, we need to speak with you and Elena right away. Her parents filed a missing person report this morning. Please open the door.”That explained it.She hadn’t come home last night. Her phone had been traced straight here. Parents panicking, imagining the worst.I hit the buzzer, watching the elevator numbers climb slowly on the screen, giving them just enough rope.Two cops stepped into my hallway, both clearly out of place. One older guy tried to look tough while wiping sweat from his for
