“Andrew?”

His voice drifted softly through the apartment as the door clicked shut behind him. I turned toward it, keys still dangling from my fingertips.

He stood just a few steps away, one hand on the knob, eyes watching me with something unspoken tightening the lines of his face. He stood just a few steps from the door, his posture guarded but his eyes… God, those eyes.

“Did you… ask me to invite me to your place because you pity me?” he asked, the words sounding like he’d rehearsed them in his head a dozen times before letting them out. Quiet. Wary. Already bracing for impact.

I paused.

He ran a hand through his hair. A nervous habit I was starting to recognize.

“I just… I need to know,” he stated, jaw tightening in that frustrated way of his.

He was giving me too much credit.

Too much.

I wasn’t that good. I didn’t do things out of pity—not really. If anything, this whole thing was just a mess of selfishness.

I wasn’t doing this out of pity. I was doing it because I coul

  • Breaking The Ice Between Us    CHAPTER 126: Dripping All Over

    He took and took like he owned every inch of me—and maybe he did. All I could do was kneel there, drooling around his cock, giving him everything while he gave me the most fucking perfect view in return. His face was flushed, wild, head tilted back, lips parted like he was riding the edge of some drug—and I was the hit. I loved that I was the reason he looked like that. Elated. Strung out. Addicted to the chaos that sparked between us every time we touched. “Open wider, Andrew,” he growled, voice wrecked. “That’s it… Jesus fuck. I love how you choke on my cock.” My dick throbbed hard in my shorts at the sound of his voice—low, filthy, fucking possessive. I leaked into the fabric, grinding down against nothing just to relieve some of the pressure building there. His rhythm turned more rough, desperate—hips snapping forward, forcing his cock deep over and over, the swollen tip hitting the back of my throat with every thrust. My eyes stung, pressure building behind them, but I didn’t

  • Breaking The Ice Between Us    CHAPTER 125: Craving The Mess

    I traced my lips along the sharp edge of his jaw, brushing over the rise of his cheekbone before dragging my mouth down the slope of his neck. His skin was warm, tasting faintly of sweat and whatever cologne he’d put on. When he groaned—deep and low—it vibrated against my lips, and the sound went straight to my cock, which pulsed hard inside my shorts. I kept going, kissing down his chest slowly, taking my time over every inch of skin, letting my lips graze the chain of his necklace. I found one of his nipples and caught it between my teeth, giving it a slow, deliberate tug. He hissed through his teeth. “Fuck…” The sound of it lit me up. I tugged again, just to hear him curse, before continuing lower, my lips planting hot, wet kisses over the firm planes of his stomach. I reached the waistband of his shorts and caught the drawstring between my teeth, giving it a playful tug before glancing up. The moment our eyes met, my breath hitched. His eyes were almost black with lust, wild,

  • Breaking The Ice Between Us    CHAPTER 123: The Worst Decision I Keep Making

    ANDREW ~I never knew what to say when people opened up to me. Like, really opened up. Poured out their insides like I was some kind of safe place. A container. A vault. But I wasn’t. I never had been. Hell, I could barely contain myself on a good day—my thoughts always racing, emotions always biting under the surface like glass under skin. So when Captain—Richard—started talking, I just sat there. I didn’t interrupt. Didn’t offer those cookie-cutter responses people give when they don’t know what to say. I didn’t know what to say either, but I knew enough not to lie. I couldn’t fake empathy. Couldn’t force out a “damn, man” or “I’m sorry that happened.” That would’ve felt cheap. Insulting, even. So I just listened. And now, sitting across from him in this dimly lit booth with peeling vinyl and a busted jukebox humming softly in the background, I was still listening. Still trying to make sense of what the hell had just happened. He told me about his father. About grief. About

  • Breaking The Ice Between Us    CHAPTER 122: A Deadbeat

    “I mean, he’s always been a deadbeat,” I added, voice rough. “Long before everything else. Before my mom died. Before Regina. Before fists got involved.” Andrew didn’t say anything. Just shifted a little in his seat, making the leather creak beneath him. “He used to act like paying the bills was the same as parenting,” I went on. “Like putting a roof over our heads was his golden pass to be an absolute piece of shit the rest of the time.” I let out a dry laugh. It scraped in my throat. “You know what the worst part is?” I tilted my head to look at Andrew, but not quite look. “He thinks he’s a good person. Like, really believes it. Every time he calls me ungrateful or unloving or cold—it’s because he’s convinced he’s the goddamn victim in all of this.” My mouth twisted, not quite a smile. “He really thinks I’m the problem. That I’m angry for no reason. That I’m just some unstable disappointment who lashes out because I couldn’t get over a little grief.” Andrew’s gaze softened.

  • Breaking The Ice Between Us    CHAPTER 121: Not Once

    My voice cracked on the last word, but I tried to smile.It didn’t land. Not even close.Andrew’s jaw tightened. His fists clenched by his side.“Jesus Christ, Captain,” he muttered, walking forward. “What the hell did you do?”I shrugged, metal links clinking as I shifted. “Depends on who you ask.”“Fine,” he said, stopping in front of me, arms crossed. “I’ll ask you. What. Did. You. Do?”I exhaled through my nose. “Hit my father.”He didn’t say anything.I tilted my head, trying to gauge him. “Twice.”Still nothing.“Okay, maybe a lot of times,” I added with a wince. “There was a wall involved.”That finally got a reaction. Andrew inhaled sharply and turned away, like he couldn’t even look at me. He paced for a moment, raking a hand through his hair.“I don’t even know why I came,” he muttered to himself.My smile slipped.He turned back around, eyes narrowed. “You seriously dragged me into this?”“I didn’t drag anyone,” I said. “I just gave them your number. The rest was up to you.
