Soon over, but I feel like Cynthia deserves some payback first.
NatalieI lean back in my seat. I'm on a private jet, drinking champagne while Emma is to travel with Carmen and Frank. I miss my daughter, but... I don't think she would appreciate what might happen on this flight.My eyes find Noah. He is talking to a female private flight attendant. She is batting her eyelashes at him, making my mood turn sour. I can hear her giggle like a little girl through the walls, and when she places her hand on Noah's chest, I swallow bitterly. I know that Noah is getting married to me. I trust him, but that flight attendant blushing and giggling—fucking giggling at him? Well, I sure as hell don't trust her.She reminds me of that waitress at the Vietnamese restaurant. Then again, most girls react this way to Noah. Even if they aren't attracted to him, they want his money, which makes him alluring in their eyes.An already handsome man turns into the hottest thing on earth when you realize he is a billionaire...Noah enters the flight, and I watch him take
Natalie"No-no-no, that's not a good idea, Noah!"My future husband isn't listening to me. He doesn't stop whatever mischief he is plotting.Noah is down on his knees in front of my seat. Panic surges within me when he unbuckles my seatbelt with expert fingers. He does it slowly, almost sensually, and meets my eyes with a smirk on his lush lips. Sexy bastard.He looks too good between my legs, and I must resist the urge to mess up his perfectly styled brown hair. Or run my fingers along the faint stubble on his carved jawline. It's hard. Every nerve is hyperaware of my soon-to-be-husband. I'm balancing on a thin line and have to suck in a deep breath and try not to swoon when Noah tilts his head at me."What isn't a good idea?"While waiting for my answer, Noah takes off my shirt and gets this predatory gleam in his eyes when he sees my breasts. I try to find wise words. "Having sex on your private jet.""Why?""Because the cockpit staff will hear us. We should wait until after th
NatalieI'm officially in hell. Noah denied me sex on the plane, and like a good girl, I sucked it up. We got to the luxurious resort, met with Frank and Carmen, and now I'm dying again.Noah is sitting on the tiles around the pool with Emma. She is wearing her pink sunhat and a cute bathing suit with a unicorn. Our daughter is genuinely adorable, and Noah is having a tea party with her and—Fuck my life.I drink more water from my chair under the shade and try not to ogle my future husband's abs. I'm in horny jail, and it's not fair. Noah automatically became three-hundred times hotter playing with Emma.He is wearing this hat made of paper, and even though he is wearing shades in the sun, I can see that he is smiling. "No..." Emma glares at Noah. "Not drink now.""Sorry, madam."Noah smiles sheepishly and places the teacup on the tiled floor. Emma is the boss in their father and daughter relationship. I try not to laugh when Noah glances at me with a face that says he is in trouble
NatalieEmma is sleeping, and Noah is standing in the shower. I'm behind him, checking out his ass while thinking about earlier. "I still can't believe you barked your mother off," I dramatically inhale and place my hand on my forehead. "I had an instant hard-on."Noah snorts from under the waterjet. "Should I be worried about you talking as if you had a dick?""No, I'm just..." I can't hold myself back and just walk up to Noah to hug him from behind. My lips kiss his tanned skin, and then I lean my cheek against him while feeling his heart thump. Noah becomes calm too and turns off the water. He places a hand over mine, and I hug him harder. A soft laugh leaves his lips. Noah is amused by me sticking to him like glue."Are you trying to kill me?" He asks. "No..." I mumble into his skin. "I just REALLY love you."My words make Noah turns around, and I peer up at him with my heartbeat in my throat. There is even a hollow ache in my chest. Noah looks at me like he sees me. As if he
Natalie "Are you ready?" Frank asks me. The sun casts him in luminous light, and the breeze outside the church smells like the ocean. "No cold feet this time, right?" "No. Because this time, I will push open these doors and wind up with the right man." I hand him a smile. "I'm ready." There are actual tears in his eyes. "Your new designer wedding dress is gorgeous—wait until Linnea and Carmen see you walking down the aisle. They are going to cry their eyes out." My smile only grows, but I tilt my head to meet his eyes before I push open the doors. A question has been burning inside my mind for quite some time now. I wet my lips. "Can I ask something?" Frank's wrinkly face turns serious. "Anything." "Why did you refuse to walk me down the aisle last time?" His lips form a knowing smile. "Were you in love with Alaric?" I shake my head. "No." "That's your answer." "Good answer." "I always rooted for you and Noah," Alaric nods at the doors. "Are you ready to get married?" "I
Natalie Half a year has passed since I married Noah Parker. We are happy together, but... I wish he would step down from his career and be home with me for some time. Noah presses a kiss to my lips every morning and says, "Good morning, beautiful," and leaves to start his day. We barely see each other except on holidays or some weekends. Don't get me wrong, Noah always goes the extra mile to make me feel loved and appreciated. There are endless flowers, gifts, beautiful text messages, and phone calls to keep me happy. But we spend more days apart than together, and it hurts me sometimes... So naturally, I want that to change. But I'm afraid to ask Noah to put his family before his football life. What if he gets mad at me? He probably won't, and if I tell him why I want him to stay home, he will probably do it. I'm just nervous. Noah walks into the living room. I'm sitting on the couch, and he tilts his head at me with a brief smile. "What are you thinking about?" Okay, he
Natalie I lost my virginity yesterday. The guy in crime is sleeping next to me. Brown hair, tanned skin. Upperclass swagger. He is built like a Greek god and equipped with the package I thought only existed in my wet dreams. Yes, the guy in my bed is a living daydream. But the real thing that had me swooning was how he saved my ass yesterday. I was embarrassingly drunk when my tall six-foot-seven savior found me. I had gotten lost at a football game and this man? He gave me a front-row ticket to watch his game! That's right, HIS game. The quarterback kept his eyes on me whenever he scored, and each smile made me feel seen and noticed. Oh, and his name is Noah. Bubbles of joy soar to the top of my chest. I'm on a high, giggling at the ceiling before Noah grunts something in his sleep. One thick, muscular arm wraps around me, and I'm hugged to his chiseled body. "You're so soft..." Noah mumbles. "Stay with me..." My cheeks grow how. Noah's scent wafts into my nostrils. Manl
NatalieI stare at Noah, and he gently smiles back at me. I already hate him for giving me butterflies. Beautiful people are scary."Are we all ready to order?" My dad asks."Wait, let me look at the menu again..." Cynthia mumbles, licking her fingers to turn the menu page. "Noah, could you go get us some cutlery and napkins? The waitress forgot to give us some.""I can help him!" I exclaim.I grab Noah's hand and pull the man toward the open doors. He seems surprised but allows me to tug him inside of the restaurant. Once we are out of our parent's hearing reach, I confront him. He is taller than me and smirks when I glare up at him, but I won't be falling for those bedroom eyes. Not today!"Did you know about this?" I whisper-yell, motioning at our parent's table as waitresses pass us.Noah's lips curl by the corners. "Does it matter?""Of course it does! I could be pregnant with your baby for all I'm aware, and now our parents are planning on getting married! We will be step-sibl
