They Know What She Wants CHAPTER 496: He’s Here!
THEA ASHFORD °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ We went through four checkpoints, and by the third one I'd stopped pretending anything about the drive was normal. The first was a plain iron gate with a guard who barely looked at us, but the second had two men with earpieces who made Gage roll down every window, and the third had a dog, a big silent shepherd that walked the whole length of our car sniffing at the tires. Gage kept both hands on the wheel through all of it, and he answered every question in the same dull, practiced voice. I didn't say anything though, and just sat there with my purse in my lap and my fingers digging into the strap, watching the road curl up through trees so old and so evenly spaced that somebody had obviously paid a lot of money for them to look natural. Then the trees opened up and there it was, an estate, and I use the word because I can't think of a better one. It wasn't one house. It was a whole cluster of them spread across like they'd been poured there, a main

"Would that have stopped you?" I asked.She stopped with one hand on the door and looked back over her shoulder, and for a second she actually seemed to consider it, head tilted, eyes drifting up like she was running the scenario.Then she scoffed."Nah." She waved her hand. "I would've knocked. Loudly. Probably would've shouted something through the wood, like 'James are you there?' and then waited exactly four seconds before coming in anyway."I couldn’t hold back the soft laugh that bubbled through me."That's so evil.""It's very evil. I'm told it's part of my charm." She grinned, and went on. "A locked door is just a suggestion if you know where the spare key is. Which I do. Because it's my house."Another laugh and a little hiccuping. I clapped a hand over my mouth and it just kept coming, and I folded forward over my knees with it, and the whole awful day seemed to loosen its grip on my ribs for a moment."There she is," Celeste let out, softer.I wiped under my eyes with the

She picked a piece of lint off the arm of the couch and flicked it away while I stared at her in disbelief. "You heard me." She went on, still picking at the couch but her voice had gone a shade cooler underneath. "Like it or not, you'll have to get through me to have him, and I'm a lot of work, Riley. I have a whole history." "Are you fucking serious?" I scrubbed my sleeve across my face, and I could feel the anger finally showing up, thank God, because it was so much better than crying. "That day at the railing, which was it? Do you want me to leave him alone because it's good for me, or because he's yours?" She stared at me for a moment before letting out, "Both." “Both?” "Is that so hard to believe? I can want to protect you and still not want to hand him over. People are allowed to be messy, I'm living proof." "You still," I started, and paused and tried again. "You still want him?" "Isn't that obvious?" No, it wasn’t! She leaned back into the couch and tipped her head a

Before it could go any further, the door opened without a knock. I heard the latch click and the hinges give their little squeak, and the sound went through me like a bucket of ice water."You know," Celeste drawled, "if you're going to do something like this, you should at least lock the damn door."I physically couldn't move and stayed as I was. James on the other hand had gone rigid under me, his hand still at my waist before he let his head fall back against the couch cushion and exhaled through his nose."What do you want, Celeste," he said to the ceiling."Oh, I'm fine, thanks for asking." She leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed, and I made the mistake of glancing over. She wasn't smirking. And well, that topped up everything in all the wrong ways.She looked at me for a second with something that might have been sympathy if there wasn’t a clear dissatisfaction in her eyes, then she turned her eyes to the wall. "Somebody's waiting for you outside. Said it could

His hands moved over me like he was mapping every place he had told himself not to touch, one palm sliding up my back, the other still gripping my ass. I shifted without thinking, trying to get closer, and that was when I felt him, hard, even through the layers between us. The realization punched the air out of my lungs. I ground down against him before I could stop myself, a desperate roll of my hips that dragged a rough sound out of his chest and made his fingers dig in harder.He caught my waist with both hands and held me still."Riley." He said it against my lips, breathing hard. "Slow down."Even now, even with his mouth on mine and his body answering every move I made, he was still trying to hold back. I could feel it in the tension of his arms, the way his grip locked me in place instead of pulling me closer. The drink was probably the only reason he had given in at all. The alcohol had frayed his control just enough for me to slip through. Tomorrow he would remember him
They Know What She Wants CHAPTER 491: Fuck It
I breathed him in. It wasn’t enough so I took a long slow pull of him like an idiot, my lips close enough to his throat that I felt his pulse jump against them."Riley."It came out of him as a hiss and his hand tightened at the back of my head. I should have taken the hint. I'd spent a moment ago complaining about my body not taking hints, and now it wasn't taking his either.He eased me back. Slowly, one hand sliding from my head to my shoulder, and I let him, because I didn't have the strength to fight it. I couldn’t see my face but I could picture how pathetic it probably looked.A wreck. I could feel it, wet and blotchy and hot, but I didn't care, because the second I could see him properly my brain just went quiet. His eyes were dark in the low light of the room as he breathed hard, like he'd climbed a flight of stairs. Briefly, his gaze dropped to my mouth and stayed there one second too long, and I watched his throat move when he swallowed.That was it. That was the whol
