Craved By My Husband's Best Friend 62. Who Could She Possibly Be?
Marissa POV “Perhaps because he is in the same circle as my boss, Xav must have known to drop me here since I mentioned being his neighbor…” I reasoned in my head, exhaling a slow, shaky breath.I smoothed down the wrinkled hem of my outfit, making a strict mental note to grill him about it later when my head wasn't spinning so wildly.I turned around to head toward the lobby glass doors, taking two steps forward before a warm hand suddenly landed squarely on my shoulder."Ah!" I shrieked, jumping half a foot into the air and spinning around with my heart hammering against my ribs.Standing there with her hands planted firmly on her hips, looking like an elite interrogator caught in the middle of a high-stakes crime scene, was Alina."None of my tenants are currently in this building... why is that? Was it planned?" she bombarded me without even letting me catch my breath, her sharp eyes darting from my ruined, messy hair down to my silver heels."Can you... can you come again?" I as
Craved By My Husband's Best Friend 61. Scared Of Loosing You
Marissa POVMy eyes fluttered open to the soft, golden morning light filtering through the sheer velvet curtains of the private VIP suite.For a second, my brain was completely foggy, heavy with the lingering exhaustion of the night before. But as I shifted against the impossibly soft sheets, I realized two things simultaneously, I was completely clean, and I was wrapped tightly in a thick, plush white bathrobe that definitely wasn't mine.A slow heat rushed to my face as the memories hit me in a wave. The blackout. The marble counter. The ruthless, possessive hands dragging me into the dark, and the explosive, undeniable fire that had completely consumed us both.After I had collapsed against his chest, completely spent and unable to keep my eyes open, I had fallen asleep right there in the dark. But he had stayed. To my absolute surprise, he had carried me to the adjacent private bedroom, gently cleaned me up, tucked me in, and stayed by my side the entire night.I turned my head on
Craved By My Husband's Best Friend 60. As You Wish
Marissa POV His hands didn't pause. Sliding beneath the pool of silver fabric, his broad hands clamped firm over the curve of my waist, dragging me forward until the lip of the marble counter bit sharply into the back of my thighs. The icy stone beneath me was a brutal shock against the heat flooding my skin, making a sharp gasp catch in the back of my throat."Quiet, well unless you want the whole person on this block know what we are here which I definitely don't mind," he rasped into the dark, his voice lowered into a deep, masked rumble that sent a violent shiver down my spine."The room is soundproofed," I breathed, my hands darting out blind to slide inside his unbuttoned shirt. My bare palms flattened against the broad, rigid wall of his chest, feeling the fast, heavy thud of his heart beneath my touch. "I checked.""Good to know," he growled.He bent his head, trapping me against the counter as his mouth found the sensitive juncture where my neck met my shoulder. He bit down
Craved By My Husband's Best Friend 59. Me And Him
Marissa POV A week had passed since the catastrophe at the gala, and the corporate tension had taken on a whole new shape. Cassandra’s father hadn't lost his seat at the table....men with his level of wealth and influence don't get erased overnight but Xav had publicly torched the engagement talk for good. Just like that, the multi million dollar merger between our companies was dead in the water. I heard Cassandra Vance has been fuming all week.As for Ethan, he still hadn't signed the divorce papers I’d sent weeks ago. His lawyer had delivered a polite, formal notice urging him to sign the initial drafts, but Ethan himself had gone completely radio silent.I knew him better than that, though. Ethan wasn't giving up. He was just playing a waiting game stupidly convinced that if he gave me enough rope, I’d stew alone and come running back home like I always used to.He couldn't have been more wrong.The front door to my apartment slammed open Friday evening. Hailey marched in holding
Craved By My Husband's Best Friend 58. Ugh
Marissa POV My eyes snapped open to the cruel, unforgiving light of the morning sun piercing through my curtains. A low, throbbing ache echoed right behind my temples, making the whole world spin for a second. Ugh. Never drinking vodka again. I sat up slowly, clutching my head, and looked over at my nightstand. Right there sat a tall glass of ice water, two painkillers, and... my giant pink plush rabbit from the arcade, sitting upright in the armchair like a fluffy, silent bodyguard. A wave of fragmented memories hit me—the arcade, the claw machine, the gold dress—but after that? Pitch darkness. Wrapping my plush robe tightly around myself, I tiptoed out of the bedroom, fully expecting Xavier to have vanished during the night. Instead, I stopped dead in my tracks at the entrance of the living room. Folded awkwardly on my small couch was a towering, six-foot-plus billionaire. Xavier was fast asleep, his long legs dangling over the armrest, his crisp white dress shirt rumpled and
Craved By My Husband's Best Friend 57. Get Some Sleep Queen
Marissa POV The city lights blurred into long streaks of silver and gold as Xavier’s sleek sedan cut through the late night streets. My head was heavy against the soft leather headrest, the vodka humming through my veins like a sweet, persistent electric current. Every bump in the road sent a quiet wave of dizziness through me, but I didn't care. I felt ridiculously safe.Because right beside me was Xavier his broad shoulders relaxed, one hand gripping the steering wheel while his other restlessly hovered near the center console, close enough that I could feel the heat radiating off him."You are staring, Marissa," Xavier muttered, his voice a low, gravelly rumble in the quiet cabin of the car. He didn't turn his head, but a tiny, faint smirk pulled at the corner of his lips."I am allowed to stare," I slurred slightly, resting my chin against the leather strap of my seatbelt. "You are wearing my favourite suit. And you just carried me out of a bar like a damsel in distress. I think

Marissa POVI stood in the center of our pristine living room, the space I had spent the last two years turning into a sanctuary.Now, the silence felt like a predator. I was utterly bamboozled no, dumbfounded didn't even touch the edges of it. It felt as if the floor had suddenly liquefied, leavin
Craved By My Husband's Best Friend 14. My birthday is May 9th
Marissa POVI twisted the doorknob, my palms slightly damp, not knowing what exactly to expect. Instead of a stiff panel of stone faced interviewers, I spotted a red haired woman, probably in her mid-thirties. She had popping blue eyes that seemed to vibrate with intelligence, and she was staring a
Craved By My Husband's Best Friend 8. Still Taiwanese
Marissa POVMy stomach felt like it was eating itself. After the fifth rejection, I had finally given up on the corporate crawl and ducked into a small, dimly lit restaurant three blocks away from the Grand. I didn't care about the menu prices....I just needed something to stop the shaking in my ha
Craved By My Husband's Best Friend 2. Four Months?
Marissa POVI woke up to a cold, damp pillow. My face felt tight, my eyes swollen nearly shut from the "hot tears" that had slammed down my cheeks until I finally passed out from exhaustion. The house was deathly quiet....no sound of Ethan’s humming, no scent of morning coffee. Just the lingering g
