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

"That’s enough," Noah warned, his voice flat. "His personality got a lot nicer too,” he said tapping Noah by the shoulder. "I will put you through that fucking wall." "See? Violent. Nothing's changed." He winked at me, and I couldn't help it, a laugh bubbled out of me. Noah turned his glare on me, betrayal written all over his face. "Don't encourage him." "I didn't do anything!" "You laughed." "It was funny!" He dragged his hand down his face, muttering under his breath. "Seriously though," Dave chimed in. "You keep up this attitude and your relationship is dead in the water. Girls like soft, sweet guys." Noah glared at him. "Fuck off." But he just laughed and pivoted to face me. "Come on, tell him. Am I right or am I right?" I glanced at Noah, who was clearly hesitant to what my answer might be, his jaw set tight. "Actually..." I started, looking up at him through my eyelashes. "I think... I'm going to keep loving him anyway. Every bit of him. There really isn't any part
They Know What She Wants CHAPTER 486: Jesus Christ, Dave
"Well..." I poked at my pasta. "She's not actually my granny. Her name is Mrs. Harlan. She’s a retired housekeeper but everyone just calls her granny most of the time."Noah stopped chewing completely."She's still alive.”I turned on the stool to face him properly. "Wait. You know her?""Yeah." He shrugged. "Known that woman for damn near my whole life."I smiled a little, then tilted my head. "Then you must know Mr. Harlan too, right? Her son?""Mr. Harlan," Noah repeated."Yeah.""Mrs. Harlan has a son?"I gave him a long, flat look that said I thought you said you knew her. "What? She never mentioned having a son. How the fuck was I supposed to know?"I was about to press when a knock sounded at the door.Three raps. My heart immediately dropped straight into my stomach.The fork slipped from my fingers and clattered against the plate, but I couldn't even bring myself to look at the door. I just stared at the sauce smeared on the edge of my plate.Noah went still beside me, and
They Know What She Wants CHAPTER 485: Excuse Me?
"When I tell you to sit your pretty little ass down and let me spoil you, you listen."He straightened up, tugged his sweatpants back into place, and gave my forehead one more pat that was way too smug for how steady my breathing wasn't."Stay," he said. "I'll finish up."And then he just left. Strolled out of the room, his shoulders loose, whistling under his breath, actually freaking whistling, while I sat there on the sheets with my jaw aching and my hair a disaster and my brain still buffering somewhere around the part where he said we'd work on the gagging.How on earth are we going to work on that!He’s such a perverted man.I flopped back onto the mattress and stared at the ceiling.Of all the ways I'd imagined this evening going, and to be fair I'd imagined none of them, since the plan was literally just spaghetti sauce, this was not it. I pressed both hands over my face and groaned into my palms, and from down the hall I heard the clatter of a pan, followed by Noah muttering
