Chapter 40

Aurora’s pov

Layla kicked the door shut behind us with her slip on, from our nail technician. dropping her bag on the console like she owned the place.

“Okay,” she said, grinning. “Before you ask—yes. Mom and Dad are on another endless business trip.”

I slipped my shoes off, already sinking into the quiet of the house. It felt… different.

“And Jaxon?” I asked, trying to sound casual.

Layla waved it off. “Hasn’t been home in days. Racing. God knows what else.” She shrugged. “Basically? We’ve got the house.”

We ended up sprawled across the living room floor an hour later, the lights dimmed low, the curtains half-drawn. A bowl of chocolates sat between us, wrappers already piling up like evidence of bad decisions.

“Girls’ night it is then” I said.

Layla squealed.

“Aurora—girls’ night!” she shouted, already bouncing on her toes.

I laughed, the sound surprising even me, and dropped my bag where it landed. Before I could say anything else, Layla grabbed my wrists and spun me ar

  • A Taste Of Him: The One I Was Never Meant to Want    I'm my Dad's son after all

    Chapter 46Jaxon's povAurora walked toward my car like she already knew she’d crossed a line.I tried so hard not to look at her when I pulled into traffic. The city slides past the window, blurred and indifferent.“So,” I said at last quietly, eyes still on the road, voice flat. “Lunch run short, the Golden boy ditched you”I had to take my words slowly, else I have no idea what I would say that I might regret later.She was stiff after my question .“I wasn’t ditched,” I snapped, too fast. “Something came up.”She replied annoyingly cuteOh fuck me Auri has no idea what she's doing to me She's even pouting her mouth at the moment and it's taking a lot of energy to restrain my mouth from hers “Funny,”i murmurs. “It looked a lot like you standing there alone while he drove off.”Saying it on purpose because that's some embarrassing shit right there.Minutes passedstaring straight ahead, turning streets I heard her little voice. “You followed me?“I waited,” correcting her “There

  • A Taste Of Him: The One I Was Never Meant to Want    Hungrier

    Chapter 45Jaxon's pov---Peeking back to the night everything about me got hungrier for Aurora.The city was quiet, I had tossed the idea of sleeping at my apartment aside hours ago. No, tonight, my mind had settled on one place: my parents’ house. Besides I couldn't leave Layla to sleep alone I didn’t know she’d be there—Aurora. The thought of her with Layla made a familiar heat twist low in my gut. A dangerous, possessive heat. I drove there like a predator, dark streets flickering past my headlights, the only sound my engine purring in the night.The spare keys slid into the lock with a soft click, barely louder than a whisper. I opened the door, expecting silence.I did not expect the two little creatures crouched in the living room to jump out like startled cats, their mouths flinging curses sharp enough to cut glass.“What the fuck Jaxon? Are you crazy ?!” Layla’s voice cracked, her hands flailing like she was trying to swat me away.Aurora, less coordinated but just as letha

  • A Taste Of Him: The One I Was Never Meant to Want    Mom almost saw my Hickeys

    Chapter 44Aurora povThe car door clicked open, but I didn’t move. My chest was pounding, my legs trembling from the heat of the ride—and him.Before I could even step out, his hand gripped my jaw gently, tilting my head. “One more,” he murmured, voice dark, low, dangerous.I barely had time to register before his lips crushed against mine—sharp, claiming, electrifying. My knees almost gave out, heart threatening to shatter from the force of it.He pulled back just enough to let me breathe, eyes smoldering with that impossible intensity, before letting go.I stumbled out of the car, wobbling on unsteady legs, hands pressed to my chest as if trying to hold myself together. The night air felt too cold against my overheated skin.Without looking back, I raced toward my front door, each step frantic, desperate, my thoughts a tangled mess of anger, desire, and frustration. My hands clutched at my chest, trying to slow the rapid thump of my heart, but it was useless. He was everywhere—ins

  • A Taste Of Him: The One I Was Never Meant to Want    Jaxon's damn informant

    Chapter 43Aurora's povI wondered—dimly, distantly—why I wasn’t shouting.Why I wasn’t rolling my eyes, snapping back with some sharp, reckless comment the way I always did with him. The way we used to.Where was my mouth now?Where was my fire?The silence pressed in, thick and suffocating, and it terrified me more than any argument ever could.I sat there, hands folded uselessly in my lap, heart slamming against my ribs, and realized with a cold, sinking clarity that something had shifted. The version of me that fought him had gone very quiet.Jaxon hadn’t said another word.And I felt so embarrassed Jaxon met me so strandedHe didn't touch me yet, but I felt overly ready down there for his touch.That was the most terrifying part.The car felt like a sealed space, the air heavy with his presence, with everything unsaid hanging between us. I felt it—this strange pull, this invisible gravity dragging me inward, downward, toward him. Like I’d stepped too close to the edge of somethin

  • A Taste Of Him: The One I Was Never Meant to Want    Charged Steps towards Jaxon

    Chapter 42Aurora's povDessert came last.A small plate set between us—something sweet dusted with powdered sugar, the kind you take your time with. Jeff pushed it slightly toward me, smiling like this was his favorite part of the meal.“Go on,” he said. “You should have the first bite.”I was just lifting my fork when his phone buzzed.Once.He ignored it.Buzzed again.His smile faltered—not gone, just… pulled tight at the edges. He glanced down at the screen, then back up at me, apology already written across his face.“I’m so sorry,” he said quietly. “I—I really didn’t expect this.”My fork hovered midair. “Is everything okay?”He nodded too quickly. “Yeah. Yeah, it’s just—something I can’t push. I hate this.” He ran a hand through his hair, frustration flashing across his features. “I swear I didn’t plan this.”He stood, already reaching for his wallet like it was muscle memory. I watched him speak to the waiter, watched the bill disappear without me even looking at it.“I’ll ma

  • A Taste Of Him: The One I Was Never Meant to Want    Lunch date

    Chapter 41Aurora’s pov Layla had my closet open like she was staging a fashion intervention.“No,” she said flatly, pulling out a dress that could’ve caused traffic accidents. “You’re not wearing that boring top. This is a lunch date, Aurora. A moment.”I laughed, swatting her hand away as she tried to hold the dress against me. “Girl, it’s lunch. Food. Daylight. I’m not trying to blind the man.”She turned slowly, eyes narrowed. “Jefferey is trying to date you. This is not the time to be modest.”I shook my head, grinning. “Relax. I want him to like me with what he likes me at, not pass out.”She groaned dramatically, collapsing onto my bed. “You’re wasting potential. Absolute potential.”I stepped over her legs, tugging on my shoes. “I promise you—this is just lunch. Calm. Cute. Normal.”Layla pushed herself up on her elbows, pouting now. Full lips out, eyes accusing. “You never let me have fun.”I laughed harder. “Okay, okay—compromise.”Her eyes lit up instantly. “I’m listening.
