I just want to ask you one question before you walk away Hailey. “How loud do you think you'll scream when I fuck you”? My name is Hailey King, and I’m living a lie. I’ve hidden the truth from everyone including my own brothers just to keep what I do and who I really am a secret. It’s not that I want to lie, it's just that I don't have a choice. I thought I was holding it all together, thought I was strong until I saw Jayden Knight last New Year’s Eve. He stripped me bare—emotionally and physically. Jayden is everything I want but everything I know I can’t have. We’ve known each other most of our lives, but I’ve kept my distance since I turned eighteen, because I knew deep down he was dangerous to my carefully built façade. And I was right. After that night we spent together, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about him or how completely he ignited something in me I didn’t know still existed. Now, I crave Jayden like he’s a drug I can’t quit… and that one unforgettable night still haunts me. But I'm in for a surprise the next morning.
View MoreAlly nodded. “Yep. Chloe really likes Travis.” “I’m glad we won’t have to wait long to see you again,” Christine said happily to Travis and Ally. Terrence’s mind wandered to Chloe and how sad she had seemed lately. He reminded himself that he needed to look into her situation with James. Something about their relationship didn’t feel right. And after what Christine had said about James acting rude at the gym, Terrence wasn’t happy about Chloe marrying someone who might not treat her well. Now that he knew what real happiness felt like, he wanted the same for all his siblings. “Hey, Ally! That’s the buffet I told you about,” Christine squealed. “Let’s stop there,” Ally said eagerly. “I’d love to try it.” Travis gave Terrence a pained look. Clearly, he didn’t like Vegas buffets any more than Terrence did. Unfortunately, Ally and Christine seemed to love them. “I’m a billionaire. We can eat at any restaurant in this city. Do I really need to suffer through a buffet?” Travis s
“More than I ever thought I would be, buddy. And you will be, too. Christine is an amazing woman, and she’s perfect for you. She wants to meet Aria now so she can see if there’s anything she can do before she goes back to school. She wants to help. Your woman has a kind heart,” Travis said to Terrence sincerely. Terrence nodded. He knew how big her heart was, it was as wide as the ocean. “I know. I just wish she’d stop hugging you for saving her life.” Once was fine, but it felt like Christine hugged Travis every time she saw him. And even if Travis was his best friend, Terrence didn’t like watching his fiancée hug another man under eighty. Travis raised an eyebrow. “Possessive, aren’t you? I remember when you used to tease me by flirting with Ally.” Terrence flinched, remembering how he’d done that just to annoy Travis because he thought it was funny. He didn’t think it was funny anymore. “I regret that now,” he muttered. Travis smirked. “Good. Then I’ll stop telling Christine ho
Travis crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow at Terrence. “Roberts, she already knows you’re an asshole. I told her myself. But for some reason, she still wants to marry you. She’ll be here.” Travis pulled up the sleeve of his expensive suit and checked his watch. “For Christ’s sake, it’s only noon.” Terrence looked at his own watch. “It’s one minute after,” he said gruffly. “She’s with Ally, and I’m sure my wife isn’t running away. I stopped worrying about that a long time ago. She loves me,” Travis said with a smug smile. “Christine loves me too,” Terrence replied confidently, trying to calm his nerves. He should have stayed with Christine in case she got cold feet. But instead, he got ready with Travis while Christine went with Ally to buy a new dress. Even though they were getting married in Vegas, Terrence wanted the day to be special. He wore a tuxedo, and Travis wore a nice suit. Luckily, Travis and Ally were free to come and stand up for them. Terrence had thought about a
“It was a dangerous mission. We were shot down before we could finish what we came to do. I was lucky I managed to land the helicopter without it catching fire. But the crash was bad. I took most of the hit. Everyone else was able to get out on their own.” The mission had been a mess, but at least no one had died. “Who got you out?” Christine asked worriedly. “My team. They had to carry me for miles before help came.” “You actually let them carry you?” she asked, surprised. “It was that or bleed to death in enemy land. Right now, I’m just damn glad I lived.” She looked at him with suspicion. “Did you get hurt on purpose?” Terrence shrugged, not wanting to admit that he had taken the worst of the crash to protect his men. He had tried to make the helicopter hit his side first. “I was the senior officer and commander,” he said simply. He didn’t answer directly, but Christine’s eyes softened as she understood what he meant without him saying it. Their eyes met, and Terrence
Christine snorted. “Who hasn’t? Kade Harrison was a famous quarterback and a billionaire, and Travis Harrison is a smart businessman. I think it’s great that they both help.” “We don’t just help,” Terrence said. “We run the whole thing. Jayden Knight handles the money, and the rest of us do the fundraising and other things that need to be done.” She pulled back and looked at him. “Is every billionaire in America part of this? Wow! Jayden Knight, too?” “Not all of them…yet. But we’re working on it.” He grinned proudly, happy about the group they had created to fight against domestic abuse. “I’d really like to be part of that,” Christine said softly. “I offered,” Terrence said, now understanding why she had turned it down before. “Now that you’re going to be my wife, maybe you’ll want to be involved however you like.” He hesitated before adding, “I don’t ever want to stop you from doing what you want. I’d even move to Washington if that’s what you want, so you can keep being an age
“As soon as the weather clears,” Terrence agreed with a smile. “I guess we’ll have to find something to do until then,” Christine teased. “The storm’s coming in soon. No outdoor fun,” he said with a wink. “But I’ll make sure you stay well entertained.” “I think I’m already getting bored being stuck inside,” she said playfully. “I’ll fix that right away,” Terrence said, amused, before leaning down to kiss her softly. He cured her boredom instantly and completely. She didn’t have a single dull moment the rest of the night. By the next afternoon, Terrence learned that Travis had been right again. The flight Christine was supposed to take back to Washington had crashed just after takeoff because of equipment failure. There were no survivors. Terrence watched Christine’s face as she tried to understand how close she had come to dying. His heart pounded as the news reporter spoke in a solemn tone. Neither of them had bothered to get dressed. He wore a pair of pajama pants
