Levi's POV

I return to the living room to find Hailey by the door, slipping on a pair of vans. She is dressed in simple brown cargo shorts and a white tank top that hugs her body perfectly, highlighting the volume of her supple breasts.

I force my gaze away when she straightens up. 'Focus, Levi.'

"You ready?" I ask.

"Yeah," she responds, then pauses. "Are you okay?"

I raise a brow.

"I mean, you seemed tense when you got the phone call earlier..."

Realization dawns on me. The call had been from my Dad. The call had been from my dad, letting me know that my cousin's wedding was moved up to this weekend. Since he knows I’m married, he skipped the usual, “I expect you to bring a girlfriend,” speech. Small blessings, I guess.

Still, it stung that even after doing what he always wanted, it didn’t seem to matter. The call yesterday should have been enough, but it wasn’t. I expected at least a word of acknowledgment - some sign that I’d done the right thing. But no. Nothi

    She turns, then gasps in surprise, almost dropping her phone. "I'll call you back," she says to whoever she was on the phone with, before returning the device to her handbag. Her eyes fill with tears as she steps closer. "Levi, son." From the corner of my eye, I notice Hailey stepping to the side, giving us space for our little reunion."Hi, mum," I repeat awkwardly, tucking my hands into my pockets. I really don't know what's supposed to happen next. Are we supposed to hug, wave, shake or?I'm saved from having to make any decision when her arms wrap around me, pulling me into a hug. It takes a moment, but I return the gesture, and she holds me even tighter. I wish I could say I do the same, but no. I keep my arms around her loosely. I really do want to be more affectionate toward her, but it'd just feel odd to me. Especially since I still remember one time when she'd pushed me away when I'd gone to hug her in front of clients. I was just a boy who was excited to see his mother

  • Contract Marriage With My Ex's Boss   Ninety six

    Levi's POV Let it be noted in the books that I did, in fact, keep to my side of the bed. But my Hailey, on the other hand? I'm almost led to assume she was a superhero in her dream or something. That seems like the only sensible reason why she moves so much in her sleep. Not only did she bring down the pillow wall and roll over to my side several times—I had to consciously push her over to her side—she also managed to push me to the edge of the bed, and like that wasn't enough, I woke up to her clinging to me like a fucking koala. I'm not complaining, but Christ. What kind of demons does she fight in her sleep? The sleeping position made me develop pains in my arms and legs, but I also suspect she'd kicked me more than once. The mother of my child is a ninja. I guess I should've figured it out from her violent tendencies. I'd love to say that our little sleepover was one of the best nights I've ever had, like in those romance novels, but that would be a fucking lie. "Ugh," Hai

    The question makes heat rise to my cheeks. Thankfully, my hands are covering my face, hiding my blush. "What kind of question is that?" I ask quickly. "Of course not. I'm not some sex crazed maniac.""But you assume I am?"I give a half-shrug. "Maybe."He chuckles. "I'm going to pull your hand away from your face now. Don't worry, you won't see anything you haven't seen before." Before I can answer, his hands cover mine and slowly pull them away from my face. I still keep my eyes shut. I don't know why I'm shy all of a sudden. It's not like I haven't seen his dick before. Only twice, though. But still, the image is implanted in my mind. A package like his isn't something to forget so easily. 'But a fresh memory would be good for you,' the naughty, traitorous part of my mind echoes. And actually, it would. So after very little thought, I open my eyes. They immediately flicker down to his crotch, and surprisingly, he's covered. Like he said. But why does the confirmation make me

    Hailey's POVI watch as Levi opens the door and steps out. He speaks to whoever is on the other side for a moment, and when he walks back in, a man follows, dragging in a large, wide and thick object that barely squeezes through the doorway.He struggles to get it in, and once the first part makes it through, I finally realize what it is.A mattress.A new fucking mattress. I rise from the couch, going to meet them, but Levi sees me approaching and comes over. "What the hell, Levi? Tell me that's not what I think it is." He smirks. "Depends. What do you think it is?""Don't play dumb with me. You got a new mattress? Why?""Because I can."I glare at him.He chuckles, like he doesn't realize what a waste of money this is, and I'm sure he doesn't. He's got enough money to last him a lifetime, and apparently, doesn't know what to do with it. I'm not a stranger to wealth myself, but I'm sure I wouldn't want to waste money on something I don't need. "Hun," he says with a grin, "I've g

    I return to the kitchen and place the box of chocolates on the counter, opening it. One glance at the sweets, and I realize that while in Levi's room, I'd lost my appetite for them. Correction: I'd gained an appetite for something else.With a sigh, I close the box and push it away. My comfort snacks have turned against me now. Honesty, I should have expected it. Levi had bought them, after all.After a moment of staring at the box in sadness, I move to the living room, deciding to just watch some television instead.I randomly scroll through stations until I come across something familiar. Jumanji. Just perfect. Even more so because I've watched it countless times, and there's absolutely nothing in it that could remind me of Levi. I settle in and let myself relax. For a while, it works.Until I smell him.His cologne drifts into the room like a ghost, haunting my senses."What are you watching?" he asks from behind me. I shut my eyes, suppressing a groan. Seriously? What does a g

    Hailey's POV I need space. As I leave Levi's room, I go to the kitchen and warm a glass of milk for myself before going to sit by the counter. Of all the ways I thought today would end, this wasn’t one of them. I never imagined I'd be back here, let alone spending tonight and the next two nights in Levi's room. I wish I had a better option. But if I decide to take Levi's offer to leave, we'd have to tell everyone the truth. And I'm not ready for that yet. I'm not ready for the judgment... or for the accountability. I left his room because the thought of him being with someone else in that bed was starting to churn my stomach. I didn't want to be so rude to him, but the longer I stayed in there, the more disgusted I felt. And the mood swings from pregnancy didn't help. I thought I was past it, apparently not. Maybe I never will be. And sure, I played a part in how things happened, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier.I sigh, taking a sip of the milk, hoping it calms me. I
