She doesn't so much as pause while pulling her skirt up over her hips. “There's nothing you can say that I want to hear.” There is strength behind her words, but also a hint that she’s been broken all over again. “I'm so embarrassed. I knew from the start I shouldn't have done anything with you, and you just proved me right. I should have listened to my gut.” She almost sounds angry at herself and I watch her move around the room, feeling completely hopeless to fix this situation that I caused.

“You might have cost me my friendships, my dignity, my integrity, hell, maybe even jobs. Because once this gets out, it's going to look so bad that I slept with a client.” I can hear her fuming as she pulls her shirt on. With quick fingers, she fixes her hair, then stops to glare at me.

“I don't ever want to see you again. I'll finish out your office because I agreed to and you're paying for it. But after that, I don't ever want to see your face. Don't call me, don't contact me. I don't want

  • Club Red: Sin And Seduction    Chapter 35

    “Now that James is locked up, what's your plan moving forward with your newfound freedom?” Troy's question is lighthearted, but I sense a deeper undercurrent. “Well, I've been asked out by both Konan and Hunter, so it's not like I don't have options.” I grin, but my heart sinks as his expression tightens. And I suddenly know the truth for sure. “They were in on the bet, weren't they?” He nods his head. “But for the sake of transparency, I've talked with Konan.” I can see how hard the words are for him to get out as he continues speaking. “Konan regrets the bet. He really likes you. He thinks you're an amazing woman, that you’re interesting to talk to, that you’re witty and smart, and a good match.” “Why would you tell me this?” If Troy is trying to win me over, why would he tell me about another guy that would be a good match for me potentially? Troy’s eyebrows and shoulders lift a fraction of an inch. “Because I want you to have the opportunity to be happy, even if being happy m

    Bella I'm humming as I dance around my dirty kitchen. There's flour dusting multiple surfaces and chocolate chips strewn about, and a bit of egg white that I spilled on the countertop. But I'm making cookies and I’m happier than I can remember being in a long time. Pressing charges against James was probably the best idea I've ever had and having Troy’s backup absolutely helped me have the courage to do so. Between the home video that I had taken on my security cameras and the extra cell phone video that Troy had taken in secret, the cops had assured me that James was behind bars. While I know it might not make a big difference because James doesn't see the error of his ways, nor does he think he's done anything wrong, at least he's being held accountable for what he’s done, whether he accepts the truth or not. And now I'm here baking cookies for Troy as a way of saying thanks. I keep humming along with the music that's playing from my phone on the counter, and I realize there's

    “I was telling the truth. I'm here because you haven't been to the work site and I'm a bit worried about you. You're also not answering your phone.” Her expression relaxes and she takes a deep breath before slowly releasing it. “Sorry, I'm just wound up pretty tight.” “You have nothing to apologize for.” I'm not here to make her feel bad. I really am here because I'm genuinely worried about her. “I do want to thank you. It's lucky that you showed up when you did because I was worried he was about to start escalating his behavior.” As she says the words, her shoulders lower slightly, and she walks over toward a white kitchen table and sits down in a chair. I love how bright and airy and well-lit her space is, and I realize that our tastes are very, very similar. I follow her over and take a seat across the table from her, carefully keeping a firm distance between us so that there is no chance for contact. “I’m glad to help. Now, how are you doing?” I know it's a loaded question, a

    Troy I can hear the raised voices and arguing before I ever get to her door. I hesitate for a second wondering if I should bother her. I'm only here to check in on her because she hasn't been to my office in days. While the workers are busting their backsides and things are getting done, it's still awful not having her around. With my hand lifted to knock, I hesitate, listening to the words coming from the other side of the door. I don't recognize the male's voice as he speaks. “I never abused you. When did I abuse you? Name one time I hit you.” The man’s voice grows in volume as he speaks. In return, I hear Bella speak up, and she’s much calmer. “This. This is abuse, James. You're yelling at me. Abuse is a lot more than just hitting. It's all the gaslighting, It's all the lies. It's trying to control my life. It's sleeping with other women while keeping me on the back burner and not allowing me to sleep with other men because there's a double standard. Everything you've done to

    “Thank you for telling me the truth.” My throat chokes up and I know there's no way I'll be able to keep talking, so I hang up the phone instead. I feel completely lost inside I smile at a woman as she walks two cute, trotting Pomeranians past on the concrete path. Their tongues hang out and their tails dance back and forth as they move, and I’d swear they’re smiling. The owner smiles back at me as she moves on by. It feels like the whole world is moving while I'm just standing still. Did everybody know about this? Am I the last person to find out about the bet that was all about getting me in bed? I have to wonder if this is the reason why Hunter and Konan kept asking me out. Were they part of this? Did they know about the bet the whole time? Were they just trying to sleep with me to win money too? Unable to handle the emotions coursing through my veins, I get up and head for home, hating myself, hating the humiliation I feel, hating that I’ve been played for a fool. I should hav

    Bella All I can hear is the sound of Lyla’s voice laughing in my ears as I leave the club. Even though Troy gave me a ride to the club, I'd rather not be in a vehicle with him right now. He’s too persuasive of a talker and I want to believe the sweet, seemingly genuine words he's saying. Thoughts of our passion and encounter last night keep flashing through my mind, partnering with Lyla’s cruel laughter. My cheeks sting as I leave the front door under a slight nod of the bouncer. I'd be lying if I tried to say that Troy wasn't the best lover I've ever had. The way he touched me, talked to me, looked at me, everything felt perfect and right, and in that moment, I could almost imagine falling for him. Which makes this morning's revelation all the more painful. “Hey, let me give you a ride home.” I glance over my shoulder in time to see Konan lightly jogging in my direction. “Don't worry, I'm not going to make a move or ask you out. I just want to get you home safe.” I have to wond
