A Taste Of Him: The One I Was Never Meant to Want After Her
Chapter 119Jaxon’s POVI had to put on the performance the moment I arrived at the location.The mask. The calm heir. The obedient son. The almost-fiancé.Seline was already downstairs when I pulled up, as if she’d been waiting for her cue. She didn’t need to “pick me up.” She just wanted the entrance.“Hey, J!” she called brightly.I walked past her with my hands in my pockets.At the elevator, she slipped her arm through mine without asking. I narrowed my eyes on her.“Relax,” she murmured under her breath. “It’s just an act for them.”I exhaled slowly and allowed it.But the act became unbearable when she started whining about “some bitches” who broke her nails earlier, waving her manicured fingers dramatically in my face like it was a national crisis.The elevator chimed.Thank God.I stepped out first, adjusting my jacket, ignoring her attempt to keep pace beside me.Then I saw her. That back, That posture. Even from behind, I knew.Aurora.After days of being declined access. I
A Taste Of Him: The One I Was Never Meant to Want Could There be a Possibility?
Chapter 118Aurora's povI opened my clutch and fumbled, fingers brushing against lipgloss, a compact, anything I could use to touch up my makeup. Then “holy shit” the unused PT slipped out and brushed my hand. I cursed under my breath, blinking at it in disbelief. How had I even brought this with me? The pharmacist’s words echoed in my head: “Use it first thing in the morning.” Not now. Definitely not now. I shoved it back inside and exhaled sharply, trying to focus.Stepping out of the restroom, I froze. There he was, Jaxon—leaning just outside the door, his presence like a sudden, heavy weight pressing against my chest. My pulse spiked. I tried to walk past him, my steps quickening, but of course… I was double-crossed by fate. What did I even expect? That he wouldn’t notice?His voice came, smooth but laced with irritation:“What's that stunt you’re trying to pull, Aurora?”I inhaled deeply, exhaling in a long, shaky breath, hoping to find another escape route. But he didn’t budge
A Taste Of Him: The One I Was Never Meant to Want Public comment that wasn't sitting well
Chapter 117Aurora's povA beat passed after Layla’s mom’s comment.Just one. But it stretched.Nick was still smiling. Still relaxed. Still holding my hand like the world wasn’t watching though I tried pulling off but it was to no avail.And then, Jaxon finally spoke.“Comfort,” he said smoothly, lifting his glass without looking rushed, without looking angry, “can be misleading.”The words slid across the table like silk over steel. Every fork paused. Every subtle conversation dimmed by half a degree.Nick’s grip on my hand didn’t tighten—but it stilled.I felt it, that slight awareness. I slowly turned my head, Jaxon wasn’t looking at Nick.He wasn’t even looking at me.He was studying the rim of his champagne glass as if he had merely made an observation about the weather.But the tension in his jaw told a different story.Layla’s brows lifted while My mum shifted slightly in her seat.Even Seline blinked. Nick chuckled lightly. “Depends on what you’re comfortable with.”There it wa
A Taste Of Him: The One I Was Never Meant to Want Intentional closure
Chapter 116Aurora’s POVNick leaned closer, just enough for his shoulder to brush mine. Close enough that we didn’t have to raise our voices, close enough that it felt intentional.“Jeez, Nick,” I whispered, still smiling, still slightly stunned. “It’s so nice seeing you here. Honestly.”He chuckled softly, the sound low and warm beside my ear. “You look like you’ve just seen a ghost.”“More like a miracle,” I muttered under my breath.His eyes flickered with amusement. “That good, huh?”“You have no idea.” And I meant it.Because in a room filled with silent wars and polished tension, Nick suddenly felt easy. Familiar. Safe.Like a knight who didn’t even know he was rescuing me.He leaned closer again, lowering his voice further. “So… you’re not going to tell me why you look like you’ve been mentally sparring with half this table?”I laughed lightly. “You noticed?”“I'd always notice you, Rora.” The words lingered.And I wasn’t sure if we were just talking… or if something else was

Chapter 115Aurora povGlasses clinked. Soft laughter floated over the table. The elder, slightly older than Jaxon’s father, raised his glass, voice carrying effortlessly across the room:“To new beginnings, old alliances, and the bonds that may tie us—not just through business, but through family. May tonight remind us of both.”Servers brought trays of dishes, one after another, each more lavish than the last: roasted meats glazed to perfection, towering desserts, delicate pastries, fresh seafood that gleamed under the chandelier lights. Some smelled familiar, others entirely foreign—heavenly aromas that made my stomach twist and my senses overwhelm. Layla whispered under her breath, “Don’t drool, girl, it’s rude.”I barely registered her words, my eyes constantly flicking to my clutch… waiting… hoping… fearing.I heard none of it, because beside me Jaxon shifted slightly—the faint brush of fabric, the quiet exhale, and then heat radiating steady and unapologetic against my skin, ma
A Taste Of Him: The One I Was Never Meant to Want Little war Drama
Chapter 114 Aurora’s POV Layla spotted the table before I did. Her hand tightened slightly around mine. “There,” she whispered, subtle but certain. And that was when it came back. The anxiety of seeing him again. For the smallest, most dangerous second, I had forgotten this wasn’t just a family dinner. I had forgotten that he would be here, that I would have to see him. That I would have to sit in the same air as him and pretend the past didn’t still breathe between us. My stomach dipped, It’s too late to run. The elevators were behind us. The crowd was thick. Our parents were already waving. So I did the only thing I could. I followed Layla carefully. Slowly counting my steps like they mattered. I inhaled slowly, exhaled carefully, telling myself not to trip, not to look around, and most importantly—not to look for him. My eyes stayed glued to my feet — suddenly grateful they looked good in these heels. The polish was perfect. The straps are elegant. Focus on something sma
