Jalen’s POV

Present Day

Thursday Morning, 7:00 AM

I wake up late, way pass my 6 AM alarm. It’s been one of those weeks where I’ve barely managed to get a workout in, so I finally drag myself out of bed, throwing on some shorts and a t-shirt. Thank God Talia stayed in the guest room last night. If she’d been in my bed, I would’ve kicked her out the second I opened my eyes.

Did I ever add her to my properties? No. Why? Her trust fund is worth more than double mine. Plus, we have a prenuptial agreement. Even the embryos are off limits unless the lawyers sign off on it, along with both of us and everything’s notarized.

I head to my personal gym and get my workout in. I know I don't have to go into the office today, so I extend the session longer than usual. Afterward, I take a long, hot shower. But of course, my mind can’t help but wander to Aria, her moans, her cries, her mouth on me, her tongue, her kisses, and how her pussy felt as it clenched around me.

Instantly, I’m hard. I grab th

    ARIA’S POVAs I finish hauling the last few boxes down by the door, I wipe my forehead and sigh. My father, Big Tuck, Patrick, Parker, and of course Jalen, are still clunking around downstairs, moving the heavy shit into the basement and dragging the unmentionables out to the curb.I head back into the living room, and there’s Talia sitting on the couch pouting at her phone like someone stole her last brain cell. I roll my eyes and go sit by my sister.“Paige… I think I’m gonna leave,” I mutter.She whips her head toward me. “What? Why? I have food cooking. Everyone’s staying until late tonight, we’re having a great dinner. Why are you leaving?”“Because I’m not having fun,” I say flatly. “I’m moving fucking boxes, sorry Mom for cursing," she blinks while she’s over there sighing and laughing under her breath. "I’m tired.”My mother turns around at the word fucking, giving me that sharp mom look. I shrug. I said what I said.Sybil slides over next to me like she’s been waiting to tag

    JALEN’S POVI’m staring at my brother Patrick, and this man looks like he’s about to combust. Parker, the calmer brother, drags a hand down his face and sighs.“Bro… what is going on?”I exhale hard. “It’s too much shit, y’all. I’ve been trying to keep you out of it because you don’t need to be in it. I don’t know why she showed up. I didn’t even know she knew where you lived, Pat. How did she get your address?”He shrugs. “I don’t know. Let’s just move this dresser and then the armoire to the basement. The dolly’s over there.”My father, Tucker, walks up, already irritated. “Did you tape the doors down?”Patrick looks at him like he’s losing his mind. “Of course I did. Don’t you see it?”My dad squints, realizes he’s wrong, and mutters, “Oh. Well… yeah.”I’m watching him and realizing he’s more frustrated than I am. Now that’s saying a lot.“Dad,” I sigh, dragging a hand over my face, “we just gotta deal with this a little longer.”He shakes his head. “Son, I’m tired of this shit. I’

    Aria’s POVWhen I finally wake up, I’m warm, comfortable, and thoroughly satisfied. I blink, and glance at the clock on my phone, 8:35 a.m., and sigh. “Hmm, okay,” I mumble, stretching under the heavy comforter I usually toss off sometime during the night.I yawn, roll over, and instantly notice the cold sheets and empty bed.Where the hell is Jalen?“Jalen?” I call out, half laughing, but no answer. “Jalen?” Louder this time. Still nothing.I sigh and grab my phone off the nightstand. Two messages. Both from him.The first one reads:> I’m so sorry, love. I had to leave. Remember, I’m still technically married. Thank you for the wonderful time. You were amazing. I had a great time, and I kind of want to keep this going.My eyes stay glued to the screen. My heart? Yeah, it dips a little.Then the second message:> Aria, I really want us to be together. I don’t want to keep going home to my wife. I want you to be the one I come home to and stay with.Love, Jalen.I laugh quietly. Like

    JALEN’S POVSunday morning, 2:00 A.M.Damn. And when I say damn, I mean DAMN , because Aria is amazing.After three hours of non-stop making love, well, in my eyes it was making love, but in reality, it was some hard-core fucking. My body felt like it had been completely drained, every ounce of me left in her. After that last climax, we both passed out cold.I woke up a little while later with the urge to pee, cursing under my breath as I stumbled toward the bathroom. As I handled my business, I couldn’t help but think, God this feels right. My body was sore, satisfied, and still craving her. I didn’t want this to end.When I came back out, I caught sight of her sprawled across the sheets, naked, peaceful, snoring like a damn grizzly bear. I couldn’t even be mad. It made me grin like an idiot. She looked so good, so soft, so… mine.I licked my lips, temptation burning low in my gut. I could easily climb back in that bed and take her again. But then I caught sight of the alarm cloc

    Explicit Scenes AheadAria's POV​Waking up on this Saturday morning, the air already crisp with the promise of a cold day, I started getting ready for my "friend date" with Leonard. But my mind, frustratingly, kept cycling back to Jalen. Why? I didn't know. Yet, the truth was starting to settle deep in my bones that I am definitely in love with him, and to tell the truth, I absolutely hated it.​I pulled on my warmest winter clothes, ready for a day of indoor skiing, a simple distraction. Once I was dressed, I texted Leonard to let him know I was on my way. He replied instantly that he was waiting at his front door.​I made a detour for Starbucks, picking up two simple Americanos with cream and sugar and two scones. When I finally pulled up to Leonard’s magnificent home, he looked incredibly handsome. I handed him his drink. He chuckled, his eyes meeting mine. "Are you sure we can’t be more than friends?"​I laughed, pulling the car away from the curb. "Why?"​"Because a woman has n

Not one bit.But I’m not about to sit around sulking. I’ve got other things to do, and maybe keeping busy will stop me from overthinking.My phone buzzes — Patrick and Amara on speaker.“Yo, bro, come by tomorrow morning ” Patrick says.Amara laughs in the background. “We will have breakfast. Real breakfast, and you can help us move some furniture around. ”I groan into the phone. “So are you guys trying to take advantage of me for some free labor? I will be there.”They laugh, and we hang up. I glance at the time, fuck it's 6:30 a.m.Perfect. Enough time to get a workout in.I roll out of bed, throw on some shorts and a T-shirt, grab my water bottle, lace up m
