Craved By My Husband's Brother

Raven

The door creaked open. I gripped the blanket tighter, forcing myself to breathe and remain still.

It had been like this for four nights…waking up with the sense of being watched, or finding the blanket pulled over me when I knew I hadn’t used it.

Sometimes it was the faint scent of sandalwood —cleary a man's cologne.

Someone had been breaking into my dorm room just to watch me sleep.I've changed my pass code three times now but I don't know how this keeps happening.

Today was different because I was wide awake when I heard footsteps outside my door. I couldn’t understand how he kept slipping past security.

Yes, it's a he. I know a man's cologne when I smell one.

He stopped inches from the foot of the bed. I had my back to him and my room was dimly lit ,so I kept my eyes open .

I waited for him to make a movement but he didn't. After a few seconds , I heard his footsteps retreating and the door clicked shut.

He cleared his throat before speaking.“ Uhh…the twins. What's up?"

I was about to ask what they were doing in our bedroom at this time of the night instead of their own room but I had more pressing issues. Walking over to my window ,I peered over the night.

“ I wasn't imagining things,Viktor. Someone is breaking into my room.” I said as I searched the lawn for any sign of him .

He cleared his throat again “ Are you sure about this ? You stay on the second floor and there is security downstairs so how?"

I sighed heavily,my breath hitching as I noticed movements under the tree.“ I…I… don't know, Viktor"

I focused my eyes on the shadow under the tree ,trying to make out the figure. It could be a stray cat after all.

His voice came out clipped,almost like he was irritated .“ I told you to get a house instead and take Julie with you. A woman of your status should not be in a dormitory.”

“ It's just
