Here's "Seven + Four" by Paulina Ian-Kane. This is the fifth novel her Angels of Wrath series.
["Sariel Bear-Stone
I can’t remember a time without feeling his presence nearby. All of my memories are entwined with his. Precious, bittersweet moments spent with him.
Him.
Uriel Mahoe.
My foster brother.
My protector.
My first and never-ending crush.
Unrequited love is misery in disguise, especially when the recipient can’t ever feel the same, not when he’s a sociopath.
Still, I thought I knew everything about him. Until…I didn’t.
For that reason and for the first time in my life, I’ve distanced myself from him, tried to move on, which turned out to be more difficult than I anticipated.
First, all my dates crushed and burned. Then a rat infestation and a dangerous stalker forced me into his overprotective, controlling arms once again.
But I’m not the naive, innocent person he believes me to be.
There’s something I need. Something dark that I crave. Desperately. Something he doesn’t seem able to give me.
Or is he?
All of my other brothers have found their significant others. Now it’s my turn.
But is Uri meant to be mine, or are we destined to die side by side before we find out?

Uriel Mahoe
My Sari.
My Baby Blue.
Mine."]
Oh wow. Talk about a fucking idiot. Uriel could have had Sari all of the way, years ago, if only he talked to him. If only he communicated what his obsession and protection meant, fully and completely with zero gray areas. But no, he had to be obtuse (and play it on the sociopathology). In turn, he made Sari doubt himself and cry, and then I cried.
Oh, my Sari. Adorable baby who did indeed need protection. But he also needed the agency he was asking for. He took it and more...granted, that came after some crying and multiple kidnapping attempts.
Leave us on a cliffhanger. Then again, I offically found out there will be a spin-off series with the triplets so, there's that.
