For years, Lina has nurtured feelings for her brother's best friend, ones that she knew she had to keep at bay, but with them being in senior high, and with her feelings raging out, she found herself doing everything possible to get Josh's attention. Josh had his well tucked in, tried so hard not to break bro code, but all of his rationality seemed to have flown out the window. But with his obsession and craving for her skyrocketing over the top, he finds not just his friendship with her brother threatened, but his pack as well. Would she be able to, when she suddenly found herself with a love interest? What had held him back was a thin line threatening to snap at any time, but would he let it? What decision would he take?

Forbidden Desire: In Love With My Brother's Best Friend Chapter 1 Fake dating

Lina's POV

I sauntered down the stairs, humming a song, when my eyes twitched at the crowd pulled close to my locker, cheering and chanting.

My feet halted as I glanced up, my eyes melting into his when our gaze locked, warmth pooled underneath his, the gentle thud of my heart against my rib cage as it pounded had me running a hand over my chest.

He tore his gaze off, peering at whoever he was standing with. I was lost in my thoughts when a hand hooked itself around me, pulling me with her.

" Are you just going to stand here? Aren't you going to watch the biggest proposal in all history?" Emma, my best friend, asked.

She pulled me alongside her, dragging my feet ahead as I watched.

Josh stood, eyes on Emily, the cheerleader, as she handed him a paper, before chewing on her lips nervously, while twirling a strand of her hair.

My eyes watered as I took in what was happening. Josh was my brother's best friend and my secret crush, but I couldn't bring myself to tell him about it.

He had told me severally times that he saw me as his sister and nothing more when I had jokingly brought up the topic.

"Say yes, say yes, say yes..." the crowd cheered as hands jammed together.

I pivoted my gaze around, dread tore through me because I knew it was going to be the same as always; he was always going to give in.

My wolf writhed in pain as I forced myself out. I had my feet stuck at the door when he spoke up.

" I have someone I love, Emily", he uttered, cheers ran down with voices whispering about.

I flipped my head around, glancing at him when a hand ruffled my hair, stealing my attention.

" Is there a reason why you are doing this?" I questioned Ma, who wrapped a hand around my shoulders, taking in my appearance.

" You look like shit, you left your breakfast untouched, is there a reason why?"

I chewed on my lips, trying to hide the makeshift card I had made. I had finally decided to place it in Josh's locker today, damn it all and let it all go, but I bet it was all gone now.

My hands jabbed him on the arm.

" Your friend would need you. Can you tell him to stop doing this all the time? This is a school for Selena's sake, and not his pack; some of us actually want to learn"

"I asked you a question, Lina. Why did you leave your food untouched? Mum and dad are worried, you're barely sleeping, barely going out anymore, and you are a shadow of yourself"

I let out a sigh, wondering what exactly was keeping Josh still.

"How about we get to know ourselves better first?" His velvety smooth voice rumbled across the hall at me.

"A date or two and who knows?" He leaned against her ear, whispering words into it while locking gaze with me.

I broke it off, pushing against the crowd before breaking into a race. My wolf purred as I did, but I couldn't stop; I wasn't able to.

" Where the hell do you think you are going?" My brother Max's voice thundered behind me as I sprinted, not giving a fuck about whatever it was he was going to say.

The tears slipped down in torrents as my feet crushed the leaves underneath my feet, plopping on the bench. I dragged in gasps of breath, tapping on my chest at how futile it was.

If I had a chance, I would have torn my heart and clamped down on this feeling that had grown in me; it wasn't like I hadn't tried, I had, especially when I knew he didn't like me as well. I had tried to kill mine, but I just couldn't.

It kept aggravating.

My hands ran across my eyes, pushing off the streak of tears when I noticed a shadow lurking around me.

"Lina.." a voice drawled, flickering my gaze at him, I tried to put a name to the face.

His hands weaved through his dark hair, one that glimmered against the rays that filtered down.

" It's Darren"

" Darren?"

" We took a class together, and I thought you would recognise me, I..." his eyes went gloomy at me.

" Didn't know you wouldn't"

I pushed myself up, glancing at him. He had dark hair that fell slightly over his shoulders, a nose that went as high as anyone could imagine and orbs, a honey brow, and just a shade darker than Josh's.

" Oh, I don't really have..."

My words caught in my throat when he shoved a box in my arms, before chewing on his chapped lips nervously.

"I don't really know if this is the right time to do this, but..." he let out a peal of rustic cackle.

" I would love to take you on a date, anywhere you want is fine by me, and..."

"Fuck off", a hand shoved him aside, pushing him against the barricaded wall.

"What exactly do you think you are doing?" Josh roared as he asked. His breath ran off as his gaze roamed from Darren to me.

"Why should I be the one fucking off?" Darren pushed himself off the wall, his steps drawing closer until he had his eyes on Josh.

" Excuse me?"

He scoffed. " Why should I be the one to fuck off? The last I checked, you have no right to say words like that, especially when you aren't related to her and..."

Josh had his fist clenched as he demanded. " Repeat what you just said," he dared.

That was it. I had to do something before this went off the wrong way.

" Stop!" I summoned up the strength in me as I tried to utter.

" Please stop," my eyes hovered between them as I let out a plea.

" Darren, I will take you up on that date, and Josh, what exactly are you here for?"

Josh's eyes grew stormy as he uttered. "You won't"

Darren's lips curled into a smile as he bobbed his head before his footstep receded.

"What exactly do you think you are doing? A date? With him?"

I let out a cackle at his words. Why was he acting this way when he didn't even care? Why was he here in the first place?

" What do you want! Why are you here!"

He let out a breath, weaving his hands through his hair.

" Max tried to find you after you broke off in a race, he said You aren't eating, you haven't been talking, and you have been blank. What exactly is wrong with you?"

" Why do you care?"

I knew what it was going to be; I was his best friend's sister, and so, it was his right to look after me, make sure I wasn't hurt, but why couldn't he see? Why couldn't he see what it was that I wanted?

"Lina...Max..."

I exhaled, chewing on my lips.

" Can you just let me be? I am tired of you lurking around me. I want to think, I want to feel...I want to..." I bit down the train of words that attempted to sneak out.

" Stop pursuing everyone who wants me away, stop trying to make it look like no one is worthy of me, I am sick of it"

" I am trying to protect you; they don't deserve you, not him..." his hands poked in the direction Darren had walked off in.

" No one does"

" I am going to go on that date, and you aren't going to tell me what to do!"

I gazed at his eyes, those honey brown orbs that always had me short of words to say, before sauntering off, I had barely taken steps when he said;

" Then let's do it" My feet halted as I flipped my head around.

" Do what?"

" Fake dating, this experience you want, let's do it"

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

I went to the New York City Clerk's office to handle a simple administrative matter, but the woman behind the glass handed me a nightmare instead. It was a certified marriage license from Clark County, Nevada, filed exactly three months ago. My vision blurred as I read the name in the spouse field: Baxter Noel. I was legally married to the ruthless billionaire whose legal team was currently suing me for intellectual property theft and trying to destroy my career. I remembered the conference in Las Vegas and a drink that tasted far too sweet, followed by a twelve-hour black hole in my memory that I had chalked up to exhaustion. When I sought help at my family's estate, my stepmother and sister didn't offer comfort; they stole my passport, shredded my clothes, and framed me for academic plagiarism to strip away my university fellowship. Even Baxter himself looked me in the eye with cold indifference, claiming he didn't know me and promising to have me arrested for fraud if I ever showed him that document again. Within twenty-four hours, I was homeless, jobless, and being hunted by the most powerful man in the city. I couldn't understand why a man who "eats people for breakfast" would be caught in the same trap as a struggling scientist like me. The confusion turned to pure terror when I looked at the witness signature on the license: Gene Mcclain. My mother, who was supposed to have died in a car crash ten years ago, had signed that paper with a fresh, trembling hand only ninety days ago. "I am holding a grenade, and I have no idea when the pin was pulled." Standing in the biting November wind with nothing but a laptop and a marriage license, I realized I was just a pawn in a much deadlier game. I stopped running and began to fight back, determined to use my unwanted status as the billionaire's wife to uncover the truth about the mother who came back from the dead.
