After completing the painstaking task of getting ready, Grayson sat on my mattress, his elbows propped against it as he scrolled through his phone.

My gaze shifted between him and my dress.

Unfortunately for me, Mrs. Russo said we had to match because—and I quote—"it strengthens the relationship bond."

And now, here I was, standing before a mirror, contemplating where I went wrong in life.

I inhaled deeply, pulling my blonde hair into a rough bun, a few stray strands falling over my face. I gra

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    40: In My Arms

    **Zinnia's POV**Tension fills the room like a fog, so thick and suffocating that it clogs my throat. Veins still line Grayson's arms as he draws in rushed, rhythmic breaths.He's unable to look at me, as though he's afraid he'll hurt me, and I can't help but wonder why. But I don't let go. Instead, I tighten my hold around his torso, my fingers moving across his chest until I find his hand.Slowly, I hook my fingers between his, tightening my hold.The tension lining his muscles slowly loosens, and he exhales, his fists falling to his sides."I'm sorry," he breathes as he finally turns to look at me, his hands now curling around my waist.I shake my head, sweeping a stray lock of hair away from his face.Silence rests between us for a few seconds before he clears his throat, reaching for the cup he'd dropped earlier and handing it to me."I know you can't eat your biscuits easily, so I made a smoothie out of it for you."Oh my God.Stop.I can't help the smile that forms on my face.

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    38: A Well Put Together Life

    I felt something brush against my lips.It was small, soft, delicate.But I'd felt it.Slowly, I opened my eyes. My eyes meeting his, I looked down his lips, they were on mine. Then he pulled away, the cold air grazed the spot he'd kissed making me shudder." Good morning, Princess." He greeted with a smile.I tried to offer a small smile but I still unfortunately couldn't. " Don't—" he stopped me, placing his finger on my lips. I nodded.Without standing from the mattress, he reached for a button in the wall right next to me, his fingers brushing against my cheek— not the injured one though. I would've literally murdered him.That cheek still hurt like hell.He pressed the button and a few minutes later the door opened and the doctor from yesterday walked in.When he saw us, he was startled, almost running out of the room. " Oh- my, I'm so sorry." He turned to the door, but Grayson's voice stopped him." You can stay."He spun around carefully, almost measuring his words as he trie

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    37: Grayson Stayed

    **Zinnia's POV**A sharp pain cracked through my skull, making me wince as I tried to open my eyes. The blinding white light burned into my retinas, I blocked the light with the back of my palm, a groan slipping past my lips.The thick smell of drugs and antiseptic burned hot in the air, filling my nostrils almost choking me. Then I felt something hard pressed against my lips followed the cool sensation of water.As my vision cleared, my eyes searched across the room until it landed on a familiar pair of eyes. Grayson.He wore a small smile on his lips, his mouth moving as he uttered some words that refused to register in my head. All I could hear was this ringing sound, making my head throb.I shut my eyes, then opened them again. Grayson's face coming to vision again. I saw him gesture to the door, two more people surrounded me, wearing scrubs.That confirmed my thoughts, I was in a hospital.What had happened?I rubbed my forehead as I tried to adjust on the mattress.The memorie

  • Tasting My Boyfriend's Brother    36: Fear

    **Grayson's POV**I'd seen blood, I'd seen bodies but none of that compared to this— seeing Zinnia, covered in blood and pale.Seeing Zinnia's breathing grow slower and slower, feeling her pulse thrum until I could barely feel it.And it was all his fault.I gnashed my teeth, sweeping Zinnia off the ground. " Let me take her." Chris suggested and I turned to him, letting him see the ugly darkness that had brewed behind my eyes. He gulped but he still extended his stupid hand.I pushed passed him and made for the nearest hospital.Crimson rolled down her cheeks, coating her dress and mine. My heart raced even faster. I was running but it felt like I wasn't moving at all.Since when was the hospital this fucking far.I increased my pace, urgency wounding tight in my bones. As soon as I arrive, the receptionist called for some nurses and in minutes they were with us with a stretcher.Reluctantly, I released her from my grasp, placing her gently on the stretcher. My eyes not leaving he

    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.

    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
