“I don't know where he is. Hasn't taken my calls either,” Colton had told her when she finally rang him that night. “Thought you both were supposed to be together tonight?”"Goodnight, Colton.” She ended the call without another word.Now it was morning, and warm sunlight slipped through the blinds, spilling across Jules’ face, forcing her eyes open.She sat up with a jolt, blinking. She didn’t even remember falling asleep—let alone being neatly tucked under the duvet.Her gaze shifted to the small clock on the table beside the bed. It was seven in the morning.“I’m sorry about yesterday.” Jules' eyes snapped up.Ethan stood by the doorway, one hand tucked in his pockets, the other holding a glass of wine—her glass of wine. His eyes were steady on her face, so casual and relaxed.Suddenly, everything came rushing back. Their anniversary, the constant calls and texts…his goddamn book.Her breath shook with that last part. But she hid it and frowned at him getting out of bed. She walke
In no time, she was in her bathrobe, and hopped into the bathroom where she made sure to soak herself long enough to give Ethan a little time.But as she shut her eyes in the warm water, Evie's face flashed in her head.Her eyes snapped open immediately. She frowned, and sat up, her face dripping wet.‘Why the hell would you even think of her?’ she scolded herself.‘Maybe it’s because of that tiny little reason you want another child… the one you won’t admit out loud’She ignored the voice in her head, and washed her body with the water.‘You want to use the baby to spit in Evie's face, don't you?’Jules poured the water on her face, completely shutting out her conscience. It didn't judge her when Evie spoke to her so rudely and got her involved in silly scandals.In a few minutes, she was out of the tub and fastened her robe around her waist. Then she stood in the mirror to stare at herself.‘You’re ready.’ she told herself, her fingers clutched around the small tube once more. Then
Jules glanced at the clock for the umpteenth time, even though she'd only been in her office for an hour.She wasn't tired or any of those sorts of things. She just couldn't wait to get back home.And even though she didn't show it, she was all smiles on the inside as she went through the records and files sitting in front of her.“I’ll be back as early as I can,” Ethan had whispered that morning, placing a soft kiss on her forehead before leaving for work.Now she smiled outwardly, her fingers working on the keyboard as she tried to focus on her work.Honestly, she didn't know why she felt so jittery. This wasn't the first time this was occurring. But something about this year felt different—deeper, and somehow she loved the feeling.Her phone buzzed on her table, and she turned to it with a slight frown.Mom.She took the call and placed it on speaker.l, her brows easing again.“Hi, Mom." She couldn't stop herself from smiling now.There was silence on the other end, then dramatical
The car shook and rattled as soft moans filled the quiet library's parking lot, earning awkward glances from the few people who came to the library with their vehicles.Luckily, the windows were deeply tinted, so it was impossible for them to see the smile on Cassie's face as she rode Colton in the driver's seat, bouncing on his cock like she was meant to be there.The faster she moved, the more she went red with Colton spanking her ass and moaning against her neck.He pulled her hair back as he neared climax.“Fuck." She moaned, her nails digging into his neck as she tightened around him.Then with one final deep thrust, he spilled inside her, his body rattling along with hers.Cassie leaned forward once more and took his lips in hers even as they were both panting, and he was still in her.“I love you so much,” he whispered as she pulled away, a teasing smirk tugging at her lips.She didn’t reply. Instead, she slipped off him and dropped into the passenger seat with a soft chuckle.
Nolan pushed open the car door and stepped out, running his hands over his face and raking his fingers through his hair—trying not to look like he’d fought with a tiger.Though he knew the smell of whiskey in his breath might potentially give him away.Satisfied with the way he looked in Kai's car window, he walked towards the building.Kai watched him arrange himself like someone going to an audition. Or a man going to impress his crush.But deep down, Kai knew his friend wasn't okay. Something was eating him up from the inside out.Might be this accident with Evie—losing his baby and all that. Might be guilt from how he'd abandoned Jules only to be faced with all this mess.And it might be stress from trying to make sure Evie was okay, and trying to put up with his aunt, whom Kai was a percentage sure was on his neck about Evie.Either way, he followed behind his friend even though he was looking like some unemployed joker in his suit and pants, which he'd worn to his date.With no
Kai tapped on the steering wheel as he drove slowly, his eyes flickering from left to right along the road.“You busy? Please come pick me up." was all Nolan had said over the phone that afternoon, giving him no context or chance to tell him that he was on a date with the one woman he couldn't get out of his head.Kai hadn't protested, and Trisha hadn't also because the call was strange and unlike Nolan to request for something like that.“Is he hurt? What about his car?” Trisha had asked with her soft voice, and a worried look on her face when Kai had told her about Nolan."Damn, I love that chick," Kai muttered to himself now, still searching for his friend as Nolan's location showed he was somewhere nearby.It was concerning the way Nolan would call him all of a sudden to come pick him up at such a distance that wasn't even close to where he lived. It was almost on the outskirts of the city.Either way, Kai had rushed into his car after making sure Trisha was safe in the back seat
