**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

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    35: I Never Wanted To See Chris Russo Again

    He pulled away, letting me breathe. He extended his palm. Hesitation lingered in my bones, but slowly, I melted, placing my hand in his.He bent down, his lips brushing against the back of my palm in a gentle caress. A small move—but it was enough to set fires ablaze in my chest.Then my mind drifted to Chris.He wasn't really that upset, right?Before I could stop myself, I pulled my hand away from his touch. "I'm sorry, I need to go," I said as I turned, heading in the direction he and Elara had gone.The pounding sound of my shoes against the asphalt filled the air, but it was nothing compared to how fast my heart was racing.I was on edge.On one hand, I had Chris, the man I'd spent the past seven years with. Then there was Grayson, who had stormed into my life like a hurricane, ruining everything I'd worked so hard to build.I didn't hate him.Even though I tried to convince myself that I did.

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    34: Why Did I Care So Much?

    **Zinnia's POV**My heart banged loudly against my ribs as soon as I sighted Chris, arms crossed and his face twisted into a smile that seemed too cold to be genuine.He was pissed.Very pissed.As the car pulled to a stop, Grayson turned to me, pressing his hands over mine.“Are you okay? You're turning pale,” he asked, his voice tinged with genuine concern.I flashed him a smile that didn't reach my eyes.“I'm fine, don't worry.”Thankfully, he didn't push me. He simply stepped out of the car and walked to my door, pulling it open. But I stopped him before he could open it fully.Chris and Elara marched toward us. A swallow slid down my throat, my fingers scratching against the hem of my dress.“I see you two had an amazing time together?”A question?An assumption?I didn't know.Instead, I just smiled awkwardly.“Yeah, we did—”Grayson i

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    33: A Very Desperate Man

    I reached the backyard, spotting the mechanic from afar, his head buried deep beneath the hood as he worked his magic on the car.When he spotted me, he spoke.“Oi, sorry for coming late, boss. The rain was shitty, but I'm here now.”His accent was funny.But that wasn't all.I also realized that Grayson was actually behind me.I didn't dare look back.“Here are the keys,” his deep voice came, sending a cold feeling down my veins.He sounded empty.Detached.Just like he had that night.The night we talked about his family.Was I treating him like a commodity again?I knew I shouldn't have cared, but some part of me did, and I couldn't control it.Before I could stop myself, I turned to look at him, but he didn't meet my gaze. He didn't say anything to me as he brushed past and walked toward the car, looking under the hood alongside the mechanic.The next few moments flew by, filled with Grayson speaking mechanical terms I couldn't understand and, thankfully, the engine humming again.

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    32: I Would Melt

    I had never wanted to murder someone so much until this very moment.I could already imagine his blood sprawled over my fingers after I'd successfully snapped his head off his body and wiped that God-forsaken smirk from his very disgusting, very attractive lips.Finally, my fingers found the red button, and I ended the call, turning to Grayson, my cheeks burning hot with rage.“Are you actually insane?” I said through gritted teeth, my nails bleeding into my palms.He slipped his hands from my shirt, his smirk widening as he pulled away from me, walking toward the bathroom door like he hadn't just ruined my life.I wanted to punch him.I wanted to kill him.But I knew I couldn't.One, I was sure those muscles weren't just for the female gaze, and second, I'd probably die if I tried.I ran my fingers through my hair, my mind in a haze.What was wrong with me?Why was I reacting this way to his touch?He just freaking touched me, and then boom—I was seconds away from an orgasm.There wa

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    31: The Phone Call

    Gold spilled in fragments from the window, purging sleep from my eyes, I tried to lift my arm, to block the light but I felt this weight pressing against me. I peeled my eyes open, only to see Grayson's muscular arm draped around my waist, my breath caught, his body inches away from mine, close enough that I could see every dip and crevice of his face. Of his very defined, very chiseled face. The ray caressed his skin, illuminating his skin, his dark hair fell in small waves over his forehead, his long lashes gummed, long and oddly feminine. His jaw was incredibly sharp, his lips thin but pink and looked soft. They felt soft too. My teeth sank into my lower lip. The image of the kiss we shared came back, making my chest grow tight. I needed to get up. I needed to get away from him, right now— Drawing in a breath, I reached for his arm, lifting it up delicately and placing it on the bed space beside me. Exhaling I tried to stand up but then he placed his hand on my waist a

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    30: A Commodity

    ZINNIA'S POVGrayson stepped out of the bathroom, the warm lights embracing his skin, catching the water droplets that rolled off his chest to his stomach, soaking the towel wrapped around his waist.I snatched my eyes away before he could notice my stare.I grabbed the pyjamas and handed them to him. He took them, his fingers brushing against mine for a split second, but it was just enough to mess with my heart—my stupid little heart.“Are you done?” I asked.He hummed in response, and finally, I could turn to him. He was fastening the last button of his shirt, and when he was done, his gaze found mine.Silence curled around us, thick and deafening. My palms grew sweaty.I'd already planned the different kinds of questions I would ask him once he stepped out.Like, why did he and his brother hate each other?Why were his parents so hell-bent on keeping him under control?And also, why didn't he have any pictures with his parents like Chris did?But now that he was in front of me, I w

    I pushed myself up, aiming for the door, but Elara’s hand found my wrist, tugging me back. My jaw clenched.“Don’t do anything stupid.”Stupid?STUPID?!Rage and disgust seared through my bones. I snatched my wrist away.“You’re the one who’s making out with your fiancé’s brother, and I’m the one d

    **Zinnia's POV**Chris tugged at my sleeve, pulling me along until we got to a room. Elara had excused herself to use the restroom, so it was just us. His nails dug into my skin, pain shooting up my arm.“Hey, let me go! What’s with you?” I snapped, his eyes burning with a mixture of rage and jealo

    **Zinnia's POV**“She’s my fiancée.”I couldn’t hear anything else. The sound of my heart shattering rang in my ears, making me stagger.“What do you mean?” My voice trembled. “What the hell do you mean, Chris?!”She gave me a confused look, her gaze shifting between me and Chris. When the silence
