My Best Friend’s Brother is My Ex Chapter 14

My Best Friend’s Brother is My Ex Chapter 14

I slept deeper than I ever had before. 

When I woke, I was sprawled across an unfamiliar 

king–sized bed. 

Panic hit for one sharp second.. 

Then I spotted Soren Shaw, asleep in the chair 

beside me, and the fear dissolved.. 

The moment I shifted, his eyes snapped open. 

“You’re awake. Any discomfort?” 

I shook my head. 

I let him ease me up, propping me against the 

headboard. 

“Last night…” 

My voice came out wrecked. 

He handed me a glass of water without a word. 

The ice–cold liquid slid down my throat. Relief. 

Then Soren spoke, his voice carefully neutral. 

“Nothing happened between us. Don’t get the 

wrong idea.” 

“The doctor already checked you out, but if 

anything feels off, I’m taking you to the hospital. 

Immediately.” 

I froze. 

My eyes found his. 

Something about the worry in his gaze wrecked 

1. me. My throat tightened. 

I threw myself into his arms, sobbing. 

He went still for half a beat. 

Then his arms locked around me, crushingly tight. 

Like he was trying to pull me inside him. 

“You’re safe. I’m right here.” 

I cried for a long time. 

Soaked his black dress shirt. 

A complete mess. 

When I finally surfaced, I sniffled hard. 

Soren wiped my tears away with his knuckles, one 

by one. 

“Don’t worry. I’ll get you justice.” 

“Nobody touches you. Nobody.” 

At the mention of Ryan, Soren’s face darkened. 

Violence rolled off him in waves. 

And God help me, I found it unbearably hot. 

Last night I’d begged him to fuck me… 

He must’ve been dying. 

And he still hadn’t laid a finger on me. 

Heat bloomed in my chest. I kept stealing glances 

at him. 

“What is it?” 

He laughed softly. 

Morning light carved his jawline clean and sharp. 

His eyes held that possessive tenderness, the kind 

that threatened to swallow me whole. 

A man like this was impossible to resist. 

My heart slammed. 

Something hard and frozen inside me started to 

crack. 

A long moment passed. Then I smiled, slow and 

real. 

“Soren? I think I’m starting to fall for you.”
