Tempted By A Handsome Stranger 23. The Half-Brother
The pilot’s voice echoed through the plane, announcing that they would soon reach their destination, but Byan had no intention of letting go of Kia, who was sitting on his lap. The two stunning individuals were locked in a passionate kiss, their hearts pounding in unison. The kiss was sweet, though it also carried an undeniable intensity. "I'm fond of you, Byan." Kia’s previous words still echoed in Byan’s mind, throwing him into disarray. Although he knew the difference between 'fond' and 'love,' he couldn’t stop the explosion of emotions, as if a thousand colorful flowers were blooming inside his heart. Byan quickly unfastened the seatbelt from around Kia's slim waist, lifted her curvaceous body onto his lap, and captured her cherry-red lips that had been tempting him all this time. Kia eagerly responded to Byan’s deep and demanding kiss. Sitting on his lap, she wrapped her arms around his neck, closing her eyes and surrendering control to the dominant man in front of h

"You didn’t know yet, Mae? I’m Byantara Samudra’s stepbrother. My name is Baraka Samudra. We didn’t get a proper introduction back then, did we?"Kia blinked, startled by Bara’s bold declaration. She glanced discreetly at Byan, who was now deliberately standing in front of her, blocking Bara’s approach.Kia could sense Byan’s antipathy toward Bara, and it wasn’t just out of jealousy. Their relationship clearly wasn’t a good one."You’ve met her now, haven’t you?" Byan stated coldly, not bothering to hide his disdain for Bara.Kia felt her hand suddenly gripped tightly, and of course, it was Byan."So, excuse us, Bara. My girlfriend and I would like to enjoy our lovely days in Bali."Byan’s pointed remark ended the awkward interaction between them, especially with the emphasis he placed on the word "girlfriend."Byan had taken three steps away from Bara when, suddenly, the man spoke again, louder this time."Has she heard about Alana?" Bara’s voice boomed, mentioning Byan’s late ex-wif

“Kia?”“Hm?”Byan gently caressed the silky smooth back of the woman in his embrace. Their bodies were tightly entwined on a bed that was now a mess.Kia’s pillow had disappeared somewhere, but that wasn’t an issue—Byan happily offered his arm as a substitute.They had been making love for hours, and Byan knew that Kia was truly exhausted from satisfying his desires.But there was something that weighed on his heart, and Byan wanted to get it off his chest before this gorgeous woman fell into a deep sleep.“I want you to know what really happened. What Bara said earlier.”Kia was silent for a moment, trying to process his words.She was very sleepy after their long hours of passion, but the seriousness in Byan's voice instantly wiped away her drowsiness.At first, Kia wanted nothing more than to drift off, but what Byan had just said sparked her curiosity. Fulfilling Byan’s desires had drained her energy, though she had certainly enjoyed every moment of it.“Hm. You mean about Alana?”

Kia could only sit still on Byan’s lap, her back resting helplessly against his hard, muscular chest. Her entire body felt utterly exhausted, yet the relentless thrusts from below forced soft moans from her lips, drowning her in the pleasure Byan had been giving her for what seemed like an eternity.The bed they had shared was now a mess, the sheets soaked in sweat and love’s essence. Finally, Byan picked her up, carrying her to the sofa to continue their fiery passion.Today, Byan was far more intense than ever before, driven by the immense relief of having shared the lifelong burdens he’d carried with Kia. His steps were lighter, his soul felt free.Only with Kia could he bare everything, to this beautiful woman now moaning with her eyes closed. Byan relished the feel of Kia’s smooth, sweat-slicked skin under his touch. Ah... it drove him wild. Making love to Kia always sent him into madness because her enticing body always felt divine.Byan gently grasped Kia’s chin, turning her

Married??Kia suddenly froze in speechless silence upon hearing Byan's words.Did Byan just propose to her? Did she hear him right? But... how could it be? Haven't they only known each other for a few weeks?Okay, maybe more than just a few weeks. Almost two months, to be exact. Two months!!"Uhm, Byan—""You don’t have to answer right now, sweetheart." A soft chuckle escaped Byan’s lips as he watched Kia, confused and seemingly lost for words. So adorable."I’ll wait for your answer, no matter how long it takes, and trust me... I will never change my mind or take back my proposal," he said, smiling as he gazed into Kia's beautiful eyes."But... are you really sure you want to marry... me?" Kia asked, her curiosity piqued."I’ve never been this sure about any decision in my life," Byan replied with unwavering conviction."But... isn’t it a little... uhm...""What? Impulsive?" Byan finished Kia’s hesitant sentence with a blunt question.He then moved closer, their noses almost touching

"I'm okay, Baby. Please don't cry anymore, alright?" Byan gently wiped away the tears streaming from Kia's tired, brown eyes. The girl hadn’t stopped crying, her tears flowing uncontrollably since earlier—an overwhelming mix of relief and lingering shock. "I-I can’t... can’t stop, Byan. My tears... they just keep falling..." The girl, with her long hair disheveled from crying, was still sobbing when Byan pulled her close into his arms. Kia instantly wrapped her arms around his waist, seeking comfort. Her eyes, wet and shining with tears, gazed up at Byan sorrowfully. "I'm so relieved you managed to defeat them, Byan. But at the same time... your hand... hic..." Kia shifted her gaze to Byan's right hand, which was wrapped in bandages. His hand had been injured when Byan instinctively blocked a knife aimed at his head. Kia’s crying only grew louder, which made Byan chuckle softly. "Hey, it’s just a minor injury, Kia. I’ll be fine in a few days. You heard the doctor yourself, didn’t

Byan opened the door to his Presidential Suite when he heard the soft chime of the doorbell.After making sure the blanket was snugly covering Kia's body and confirming that she was still sound asleep, Byan quickly stepped out of the master bedroom and headed for the door."Hello, good evening, Byan," greeted a smiling face from behind the door.Byan returned the middle-aged man’s friendly smile. "Please, come in, Dr. Indra," he said, gesturing him inside.Dr. Indra had been the on-call medical officer at the Samudra family resort for many years. The two of them then entered and sat on the large dark-brown leather sofa.Dr. Indra placed his medical bag on the table and took a long look at the bandage wrapped around Byan’s right hand, now stained with blood seeping through the fabric."May I see your hand?" he asked.Byan raised his injured hand, glanced briefly at the blood-soaked bandage, and extended it toward the doctor."Well, well, have you been working too hard with that injured

Tempted By A Handsome Stranger 34. Convinced
“Morning, my sexy wifey.”A deep voice whispered gently in her ear, stirring Kia awake.As she stretched and yawned, Byan’s lips started trailing kisses across her chest, making Kia chuckle softly. She smiled, running her fingers through his thick hair as he remained absorbed in his exploration, showing no sign of stopping.“Byan.”“Hm?”Kia hesitated for a moment, trying to find the right words. But she eventually gave up—her pregnancy made her head feel a bit fuzzy in the mornings, and heavy thinking wasn’t ideal.“Uh… how long are we staying here?” Kia finally voiced the question that had been circling in her mind.“Here?” Byan lifted his head from her chest, eyebrows raised. “You mean in Bali? Or the resort?”“In Bali. I mean, how long are we staying in Bali,” Kia clarified quickly. She knew this resort held a deep meaning for Byan, and honestly, she felt comfortable here too.But she also missed Jakarta. Isn’t that where they actually lived? Lately, though, it seemed like Byan wa
Tempted By A Handsome Stranger 33. A Special Moment
Perfect. Kia couldn’t find a more fitting word to describe everything that was happening today… flawless. Everything she laid her eyes on seemed so beautiful and mesmerizing. White flowers, soft pinks, pale yellows, and light blues adorned the entire room, decorating her wedding venue with a delicate elegance. Her tired brown eyes blinked slowly, as if in disbelief of the words she had just said in her mind. Her wedding. For the past week, she had been hospitalized as the doctor had ordered complete bedrest to safeguard her still-fragile pregnancy. Then, once she was cleared to return home, three days later Byan invited her aunt and uncle, Burhan and Ana, to come to Bali. They were Kia’s only remaining family after her father passed away when she was a child, and her mother followed a few years ago. Even though Kia had already called them to share the news, they were still utterly shocked when a luxury car arrived to take them to the airport, where a private jet awaited to fly
Tempted By A Handsome Stranger 32. Second Chance
Kia took a deep breath before slowly opening her eyes. Her head rested comfortably on Byan's arm, and the warmth of his embrace, like a living blanket that had held her tightly all night, made her feel as though he never wanted to let go. For once, Kia was the first to wake up, still wrapped in the afterglow of their passionate lovemaking. She glanced up at Byan’s handsome face, still peacefully asleep. A smile formed on her full lips, as she recalled the words he had repeatedly whispered to her the night before. "I love you, Kia." Remembering his deep, masculine voice uttering those words so tenderly sent a wave of happiness through her soul. She knew she would never tire of hearing that sentence, not as long as it came from Byan’s lips. Could falling in love really feel this wonderful? It felt as if a lifetime in this world would be too short, and Kia didn’t want her time to end as long as she remained in Byan’s warm embrace. Byan made her feel valued, especially
Tempted By A Handsome Stranger 31. My Destiny
The door opened from the outside, allowing two figures to step into the Presidential Suite. They both walked in silence toward the master bedroom, despite the noise of thoughts racing in their minds. “I need to make a call,” Byan said to Kia, who had been following him closely, her hand still in his grip. The girl nodded slowly with a small smile. “I’ll wait for you on the balcony.” “You don’t have to go anywhere, Kia. This conversation isn’t a secret,” Byan stated firmly, his dark eyes locking onto hers, trying to decipher what she was thinking, as she had grown unusually quiet. “It’s okay, Byan. I just want to get some fresh air,” Kia replied, her tone giving an excuse. Byan remained silent for a moment, his gaze fixed on her beautiful face and enchanting smile. However, he knew deep down that Kia was hiding something behind that expression. 'That damn Bara! This is all his fault,' Byan cursed inwardly. Yes, Bara’s arrival at the family dinner had worsened an already tense
