Club Red: Sin And Seduction Chapter 37
As I get the espresso maker out, I glance at the box of cookies on the counter, smiling to myself. I can’t help but remember how bad the cookies had been, and how she'd laughed at herself. I love that she was able to poke fun at her terrible cookies and that she hadn’t demonized me for telling her the truth. I don't think I've ever met anyone who preferred to know the truth, even at the expense of their feelings. I guess I could bake her some equally terrible cookies, although I'm not sure I can meet that bar. No, the gesture needs to be something big. Something I can't take back, something that proves to her that she is very important in my life. Just making bad cookies for her probably won't prove that point, but I'm absolutely putting that idea in my back pocket for a rainy day. Frustrated and out of ideas, I push the espresso maker back and decide I need something stronger. I grab my keys and head for the door. Ten minutes later I'm sitting at Club Red, my hands flexing aroun

Troy I pick up the phone, surprised to see that she's calling. The second I do, I know I've made a mistake. “You did this. You ruined my life.” Lyla sounds almost unhinged. “You're going to have to slow down and start at the beginning because I have no idea how I play into any of this.” I thought I was done with her breakdowns and outbursts, but I guess some things can't be escaped. “Your bet with Arson is what ruined my relationship with him. Now he won't even talk to me.” I can hear her sobbing on the other end of the line, but I don’t feel an ounce of pity for her. “He broke up with you back when we made the bet?” I have a feeling I know what the truth is, and I'm going to make her admit it, if possible. “No, he just broke up with me when this whole mess came out.” On the other end of the line, she blows her nose in the most unladylike way. I lean back in my office chair in the living room and put my feet up on the desk I’d brought out until the project is complete. “So wha

“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
