《Unexpected》Brother
Advertisement
A loud, annoying sound draws me out of sleep. Banging? I open my eyes, scaring the crap out of myself. I’m in bed. With Gavin. I’m fully clothed but he’s shirtless. And thankfully, he’s still asleep. I climb out of the bed, grabbing a hoodie as I exit the bedroom. I throw it on before opening the door. A man in ripped jeans, sunglasses, and a black hoodie is standing on the other side. His facial expressions reveal that he is shocked to see me but he just smiles. I can feel his eyes studying me, raking over my body slowly.
“Hey, beauty. Gavin here?”
“Sonny!”
Gavin appears out of nowhere, grabbing the other man’s hand. They do that thing where guys pull each other in and pat each other’s backs.
“Come on in. Can I get you a beer?”
It’s bright and early in the morning. Who drinks beer this early?
“Nah, I just came by to see if you wanted to go out with me and the guys tonight. We’re in town and I figured you would enjoy some time away from the bar, but I see you have all the entertainment you need right here.”
He gestures to me and my face goes bright red. Gavin steps in.
“Sonny, this is Skye. Skye, this is my brother Sonny.”
I extend my hand and he takes it. Instead of shaking, he places a kiss on the back. This just causes my blush to become more noticeable. He lets go of my hand. I can still feel his eyes on me.
“You’ve got a beautiful girl here, Gav. Don’t break her heart.”
Oh no. It’s my turn to put the brakes on.
“We aren’t dating.”
Sonny seems amused by this statement. He reaches into his pocket, extracting a phone.

“In that case, why don’t you give me your number?”
Without hesitation, I reach for his phone. I know handing out my number to complete strangers isn’t the smartest, but there is something about him that intrigues me. I punch my seven digits, plus the area code of course, into the device before handing it back.
“So you down to hang tonight, Gav?”
“No. I have the bar to work.”
“Just take a night off. One single night. Just to let loose.”
Gavin glares at his brother, not giving in.
“Dude, Blaze is gonna be there.”
This ‘Blaze’ seems to put Gavin’s mind on a different track. After a few silent seconds, he speaks.
“I just have to tell Mickey he has to run the bar tonight for me. When and where?”
“Eight o’clock at the old farm.”
“Alright. Now get out of my place before I change my mind.”
A big smile breaks out across Sonny’s face.
“You won’t regret this!”
“Get out!”
He leaves and Gavin disappears to his bedroom, leaving me alone in the living space.

8 221Broken Core (A Progression LitRPG)
The world has been shattered, shifted, and rebuilt with the passing of each era. Long dynasties, continental empires, heroes among heroes, felled by the Champions of the Beyond to usher change. An era dominated by true monsters, an era where power is absolute, an era where humanity is at its edge from the apex predators of the period. Monsters unlike anything that the world has seen, machines of precision; merciless with endless ambitions — Dungeons. Once again, a new Champion is selected by the now fading power of the Beyond. Leah. A just formed Dungeon with fragmented memories of a different life and world, a Dungeon with the memories of a human of a different realm. She must learn the harsh reality of what this new world is while trying to stay alive, and more importantly, find out what she is.
8 161Force Majeure: A web novel
In the Qursan Empire, the grey walls of the city press down on its subjects. It is a highly divided society which is based on the magical strength of its citizens. While the most powerful are trained as Mages, the majority of citizens use their limited skills with essence to power the city in their assigned jobs. Jano is pretty much the lowest of the low in the Qursan Empire. A Class Ten citizen forced into transitory work after having his power restricted. When he gets the opportunity to change all of that, he takes it with both hands. Please note this is an edited version of my story ‘city of captives’. It follows a similar structure but I’ve ironed out some of the kinks. If you read that version, much of this will be similar though there are some differences. This is a slow burning progression fantasy. Please expect at least two chapters per week. I love writing this story but I do have unfortunate things to deal with like work and life outside of writing. I may be able to write and edit more than that, but it will never be less! If you enjoy this, consider following me on Instagram by just searching Crow J Williams.
