Dominic

I watched her burst in, breathless with flushed cheeks. We locked gazes and she froze.

“Where have you been?” I demanded.

Her eyes widened, then flamed. "You’re seriously asking me that?"

I kept a blank expression despite the annoyance growing in me. "Just answer the damn question, Violet."

Her voice turned sharp. “No, Dominic. You don’t get to stand there and act like a concerned husband when you faked a business trip just to get away from me."

My hands fell to my sides. She was right, but I didn't want to give her any explanation.

"I'm asking you a question, Violet."

She relented, but her glare was still in place. "I was at Giaus'. He's the only company I have anyway."

He sighed. "I'm glad he's good company."

She stared at me with disbelief and spat. "Happy you're being relieved of your bothersome wife. What a way to be a husband."

I felt every self control I built during my time away starting to tear at the seams. She tried to move past me, but I clamped my hands

    Diego I froze with my glass of wine still mid air for a second and I had to look twice to be sure, in case I'd misread it. Her message glowed on my phone. 'What you up to, boy? I'm horny.'All this while, I'd maintained my restraint, burying the heat of my affection and desires. I'd been careful, respectful even though I wanted more with Violet.And now, Violet was undoing all that by just one text. She'd been so beautiful tonight. And that dance - God! I'd wanted her to remain in my arms forever. It took a lot of practiced control to not get a hard on on that dance platform. She was the one crossing that line now. I set the glass down and picked up my phone to type my response. 'You’re playing with fire, Violet. I’ve wanted you since the second I laid eyes on you. Don’t text me that unless you’re ready for me to show up and make you forget every man who’s ever touched you.' The silence after I hit send stretched into several minutes and I started to regret my respo

    DiegoThe atmosphere was pulsing with the chatter of people, slow soothing music that inspired a few to tap their feet on the dance platform. The space wasn't too crowded, but the people weren't few either and I moved through the room, laughing with the regulars, making the newcomers feel welcome while trying to enjoy the party myself. But through it all, my eyes kept straying towards the entrance, waiting, hoping for her arrival. When, she eventually arrived, I blew a breath of relief. In jeans and a cold shoulder top, her hair in a ponytail, she looked simple yet breathtaking. When our eyes met, her lips pulled in a small smile that went straight to my heart. It was all the encouragement I needed to walk up to her. "I'm surprised you came." I said, careful to keep my voice light. We were just getting back on neutral ground and I don't want to scare her with my feelings. She shrugged, her hands digging into the back pockets of her jeans. . "I figured I could use a break.""Exactl

    Violet I flipped the eggs over in the pan, savouring the silence in the house while my eggs sizzled and mentally constructing the next scene for my novel. My laptop was seating beside my mug of tea, the cursor blinking questionably at me, knowing the deadline for my publisher was creeping in and while I was close to wrapping up the book, some chapters still remained and a couple others needed to be rewritten. I turned off the gas and slipped my eggs on a plate, adding crispy bacon, melted cheese and toast before settling down in front of my laptop. While I ate, my phone lighted up to show a message pop up. It was Dominic. 'Forgot some documents in my home office. I'm coming to get them.'It's been almost a week of Dominic doing his possible best to avoid me. He worked till late, getting home at night, only to be out very early before I'm awake. It hurt, but I was slowly withdrawing from getting him to see me. Besides, I still felt betrayed by his admission about getti

  • Bound To Three, Wife To One   Chapter Nineteen

    Violet When I woke up in the morning, I was washed by an overwhelming sense of guilt. The sunlight spilling across the sheets and the warmth of the room did nothing to soothe me. What have I done? Gaius was my brother-in-law and I'd slept with him. Last night, I had not been thinking when I ran out of the house and into Gaius's arms. All I wanted was to proof to myself that I was still desirable. And Gaius had proved that I was. The soreness between my legs were a sweet reminder of everything we did last night. Still, the guilt didn't go away. I rushed out of bed naked and hurriedly found my robe. I looked around for my panties and when I didn't find it, I banished the search and left the room. Downstairs, the scent of coffee was inviting. Gaius was in the kitchen, terribly good looking with his hair tousled and chest, bare. He was flipping something in a pan like this was normal. Like we did this all the time. He looked over his shoulder and smiled softly. "Hey, you're

    VioletI moved beneath his relentless mouth, hot and slow while he stripped every piece of composure from me. My fingers snatched at the sheets beside me. Frantic, I bit down on my bottom lip, trying to quiet myself, but another gasp broke free when he dragged his tongue over my clit. "P–please," I whispered, but I had no idea what I needed more. More or mercy? He growled against me and the sensation of his voice vibrate against me made my heel dig into his back, my own back arching off the bed. He added a finger, then two, drawing a long moan from me. "Don’t stop," I said, my voice trembling. "Oh my god, don’t stop."Every flick of his tongue, every kiss, every exhale sent me higher, driving me farther from thinking, from speaking. He spun my clit with his fingers and sank his tongue deep in me. I came for the second time, drowning in the wave of the sensation. "Oh fuck, yes. Yes. Yessssssss."Giaus came up, his dark, hungry eyes locking with mine. He shed his shirt and

    GaiusI held her tight, wishing she'd hold on to me forever, allow my warmth to seep into her broken soul and never let go. She shook in my arms as she cried, soaking my Tee with moisture. I slid my palm down her back, offering comfort.Violet pulled back just enough to look at me, her lips parted, her eyes wet and red and glistening with everything Dominic had just destroyed. She reached up, her hands holding my face as she searched my eyes. "I don't want to talk about him. I just want...." She faltered. I waited for her to speak, my heart thudding in my chest."I want to feel. Make me feel seen." Her voice was as soft as breath. How could I deny the both of us what we wanted? "Please Giaus."My control snapped. She wasn't mine, but for tonight, she was choosing me. She might be using me to rebound from Dominic's rejection, but God, I don't mind. I would give her everything. I grab her, cupped her face and brought my lips down on hers like I was drowning and she was the only anchor
