They Know What She Wants CHAPTER 493: Nope
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
They Know What She Wants CHAPTER 492: I Did
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
They Know What She Wants CHAPTER 490: He Wasn’t Smart
I'd planned on sounding eased, or at least like a person with a spine, and instead it left my mouth wobbly and thin, and I felt the exact second it went wrong. My eyes which were already stinging leaked, and then that bastard of a tear just slipped over the edge and ran down my cheek anyway, hot and humiliating, right in front of him.I swiped at it with the back of my wrist, fast and angry."Fuck," I muttered. "Ignore that."He didn't ignore it. I mean, who was I kidding.There’s no way he would ignore that.His hand twitched against the glass, and his whole body leaned maybe an inch toward me before he stopped himself, and I watched the effort of that on his face, the way his jaw worked around something he wasn't going to let himself do. His fingers tightened on the glass. Then he set it down on the table, like he needed his hands free just to keep them still."Riley.""Don't." I kept my eyes on the basket. "Please don't be nice about it.""I'm not trying to be nice." "Then don't
They Know What She Wants CHAPTER 489: Are You Sure
I looked away. It was the only move I had left, so I just stared at the linen basket by the arm of the couch."I don't know what you're talking about.It came out so flat and so fake that I winced at it. I could feel him watching the side of my face, and I kept my chin turned toward the basket, jaw set, hands pressed together in my lap hard enough that my knuckles were going pale.He chuckled in a low and rough tone, the laugh coming as more breath than sound. It wasn't mocking, which would have been easier to be angry about. It sounded tired and a little fond, like I'd said something he'd expected me to say and didn't have the heart to argue with."If you want to leave it that way," he said, "then maybe it's for the best.""Yeah." I let the word drag, and finally flicked my eyes over to him. "And you would know what's best, wouldn't you? You're so great at that."That earned me another chuckle, and this time he dropped his head a little, the glass tilting in his hand, the amber sli
They Know What She Wants CHAPTER 488: Sorry
RILEY°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･After I finished sorting the last of the clean linens and carrying them upstairs, I caught a glimpse of Mr. James through the open doorway of the small sitting room off the main hall.He was drinking.It threw me completely off.For as long as I’ve known him, I’ve seen him smoke when he needed an edge, disappear for days when something was wrong, but watching him sit alone in a room with a glass is definitely a first.Things had been awkward since the visit, even though we’ve both been acting like nothing never fucking happened. Giving each other polite nods in hallways, short answers. Him leaving rooms a second after I entered them and me taking the long way around the garden so I would not have to walk past him if he was out there.I stayed in the doorway longer than I should have.He did not look up, the glass turning in his fingers, the amber catching the light, and for a second I thought he might keep ignoring me until I took the hint and left him alone with what
