Lahat ng Kabanata ng Tempting My Ex’s Brother : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

I received the payment that same day. Considering how many restaurants he runs, I knew it was just a drop in the bucket. I turned my phone on and messaged Xerces about my plans for tomorrow. Ruelle: Clear your schedule tomorrow. We’re going somewhere. 10 a.m. onward. He replied almost right away. Xerces: What for? Ruelle: I heard Gavin is taking my sister out on a date tomorrow. Xerces: You want me to cancel everything I have going on just to go along with your craziness? I couldn’t see his face, but I could picture the irritation all over it. I could only sigh at his nagging. Ruelle: Please? Ruelle: I’ll pay for your time. Tell me your price. Xerces: Can you afford three hundred thousand? I gasped. That was way too much! Ruelle: That’s a lot, you asshole! Any discounts? Xerces: None. Take it or leave it. I rolled my eyes. I had no choice but to agree. I got a hundred thousand from him, but apparently, it was only for him to take it back with triple the return. The next

I wrapped my arms around his neck and moved my lips as well. His hand was warm against my jaw and chin. His kisses weren’t rough, but they were passionate. I was sober, but his kisses were drowning me in drunkenness. My mind was so hazy, and all I could think about right now was the way his lips felt on mine. He cupped my buttocks and lifted me up to sit on the backrest of the couch. He caressed my legs. My mouth parted when he fondled my breasts over my clothes. Soft moans escaped my mouth as he sucked on my skin. “Do not leave marks,” I whispered. He didn’t listen and continued what he was doing. I wrapped my legs around him and pushed him closer to me. I heard him growl as I felt his bulge. Just as I thought we were gonna do it, he broke the kiss. We were both breathing heavily, catching our breaths. My eyes were heavy as I looked at him. Meanwhile, he kept his intense gaze locked on mine. “Sera is a good kisser. She wouldn’t be jealous of someone who doesn’t even know how to

“Hey! Open the damn door. I have good news!” I shouted, pounding insistently against Xerces’s front door. He swung it open, irritation written all over his face. “What?” “I have good news,” I repeated, brushing past him without waiting for an invitation and stepping inside. He closed the door behind me with a sharp click. “And what exactly is that?” “I saw your ex earlier this morning.” His jaw clenched. Instead of asking me about the details of how I met her, he asked, “What did you do?” Was he seriously expecting me to harm her? “Relax. I didn’t do anything to her,” I said, rolling my eyes. “You’re acting like I’d jump at the chance to ruin her life the second I see her.” He didn’t look convinced. His eyes stayed narrowed, wary. “We exchanged a few words after I introduced myself to her,” I continued, leaning casually against the wall. “And guess what? She got subtly jealous. I knew it. She still has feelings for you,” I proudly said. “Why would she?” he asked, his voice fl

Before heading to work, I stopped by Xerces’s house to get something from him. Unlike in the past weeks, he opened the door almost right away. His features were relaxed and composed, which only happens once in a while.“You’re gonna eat here again?” he guessed, leaning against the doorframe.I let out a small laugh and shook my head.I hadn’t had breakfast yet, but that wasn’t what brought me here. Lately, I’ve been feeling like I’ve been gaining weight, so I figured I should start cutting back.“I’m on a diet,” I told him.His brows drew together. His gaze slowly traveled from my head down to my feet, then back up again.“In that body?” he asked, a hint of disbelief in his tone.I pouted a little. Was he saying I was already fat?“I’m just here to get a kiss.”“Kiss?” he echoed, clearly thrown off.I nodded, stepping a little closer. “Did you forget we’re supposed to kiss more often?”He frowned slightly, as if he were trying to recall when we even agreed on that. It didn’t take long

After a while, some of his friends started leaving the table, heading off to find girls they could flirt with. Soon enough, only the three of us were left. “Wanna dance?” Zeus asked. I nodded without hesitation. I’d already had a bit too much to drink, and the dizziness was starting to set in; my vision was slightly blurred. Good thing Zeus quickly wrapped an arm around my waist when I stood, steadying me before I could lose my balance. “You good?” he asked. I held onto his arm for support and gave him a small smile, assuring him I was fine. “How about you, dude? You really gonna stay here all by yourself?” Zeus teased. I glanced at Xerces. He was sitting with one leg crossed over the other, idly playing with the rock glass in his hand. He didn’t even bother looking at us. “I prefer it that way,” he replied curtly. “Suit yourself.” Zeus pulled me tow
