~Lora~

The next time I woke up, a sudden flash hit my mind.

An accident.

Rain.

Headlights, a loud crashing sound.

I blinked hard, my chest rising unevenly as the memory disappeared as quickly as it came.

What was that?

A dull headache pulsed behind my eyes.

Outside, heavy rain poured against the roof loudly, filling the room with endless tapping sounds.

The weather felt cold and restless, matching the uneasy feeling twisting inside my chest.

Slowly, I looked around. My old room.

The familiar c

  • Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage    Chapter 66: Needy

    ~Lora~My chest heaved as I looked down at him, the rain finally beginning to patter against the windshield in slow, heavy drops. The dark sky cast deep shadows inside the car, making the intensity in Alex’s eyes look almost overwhelming."Alex, we're on the side of the road," I whispered, my fingers knotting into his hair… less to push him away and more to anchor myself. My breath hitched as his hands slid higher, gathering the fabric of my dress. "And we’re supposed to be going to see Mitchell. What if someone sees us?""The windows are tinted, baby," he murmured, his voice a low, gravelly rasp against my skin that sent a shiver straight down my spine. "And right now, I don't care about anything else."He didn't give me another chance to protest. Leaning down, he pressed a slow, deliberate kiss to the sensitive skin just above my knee, making my breath catch in my throat. I let out a soft gasp, my head falling back against the lowered headrest as the storm outside fully broke. T

  • Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage    Chapter 65: Trust

    ~Lora~Sometimes, having someone you can tell everything to, makes things feel a little easier. They might not be able to fix your problems or tell you exactly what to do, but sometimes, you don't need a solution. And, you just need someone who will sit there and listen, someone you can pour everything out to without worrying about being judged or misunderstood.That's how telling James, and now Alex, has made me feel.For the first time in a long while, I didn't feel like I had to carry everything alone. I had been able to tell James about my revenge divorce plan, about everything that happened with Christian, and even about the mess involving Gareth and Ivy. Now Alex knew about it too, and somehow, saying all those things out loud made them feel a little less heavy inside my head.For now, I was willing to place my trust in him. I wanted to believe that this time, things would be different. That this life would not end the way the last one did.I let the car window down and close

  • Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage    Chapter 64: Possessive

    ~Lora~It had been so long since I'd seen Alex this happy that the sight almost hurt. There had been a time when his happiness used to come so easily, when I could make him smile without even trying. Then everything between us had become complicated, and somewhere along the way, I'd stopped seeing that version of him which I thought I broke.Now he was looking at me like he'd finally gotten something he'd been waiting years to have.And the worst part was that I was happy too.“I love you,” I blurted out.The words escaped before I could stop them. I immediately looked away. “I mean…”“I know.”I looked back at him.He was already reaching for me. “I know you do,” he said quietly, his fingers brushing against my cheek. “And I know you've always had.”There was no teasing or smug smile in his voice this time.Just certainty.“I’m happy I didn't give up,” he added.Something inside me softened at those words.I was glad he'd said them.More than I wanted to admit, but the happiness did

  • Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage    Chapter 63: H.A.P.P.Y

    ~Lora~The distant chirping of birds and the soft rush of cold morning air slowly pulled me out of sleep.I blinked several times, trying to clear the hazy blur from my eyes as I stretched beneath the warmth of the duvet. For a few seconds, I had no idea where I was.Then I turned my head.My heart skipped.Alex was lying beside me, already awake, watching me with an expression that made something twist deep inside my chest.“You’re finally awake,” he murmured.Before I could say anything, he reached for me and pulled me closer, pressing a soft kiss to my forehead as if waking up beside me was the most natural thing in the world.And then, just like that, flashes of last night began rushing through my mind.My breath caught.I pulled away from him and looked down at myself beneath the white duvet. The realization hit me all at once, leaving me frozen for a moment.I was completely naked. My eyes slowly moved back to him, taking in the fact that he was in the same state.“Alex...” My v

  • Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage    Chapter 62: Absolute Death

    ~Alex~The kiss turned wild, breathless, and mean.Her fingers hooked on the thin strap of her dress, yanking it down until the fabric pooled at her waist.She wasn't wearing a bra.The cool night air hit her bare skin, making her nipples harden instantly, but the heat radiating off her body was unreal.I cupped her breast, burying my hand into her soft skin, and squeezed hard.Lora gasped into my mouth, her back arching off my lap as she pressed herself closer to me."Mhmm…Alex..." she whimpered against my lips.I dragged my mouth down her throat, leaving sharp bites on her collarbone and the curve of her chest, marking every inch of her I could reach.She squirmed, her hands digging into my shoulders, making messy, desperate noises into the quiet car.Her hands fumbled down to my waist, her fingers clawing at the buckle of my belt.Right in the middle of the dark haze of desire, a cold thought hit me.I grabbed both of her wrists, holding her still."If I'm really going to do this..

  • Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage    Chapter 61: Regret

    ~Alex~Have you ever fallen into deep water? You know how to swim, but there's this heavy urge to just stop fighting and sink.That’s what loving Lora feels like.I can't get her out of my head, and I don't want to. I want this desire to consume me until my last breath, because being without her kills me more than anything else.Does she still feel something for me? I don't know.I don't even care.That’s why I’ll never stop following her. It’s a dangerous habit, but I couldn't stop if I tried.And tonight, it’s the only reason I found her.If I had been two minutes later... I couldn't live with myself."Can you hear me?" I called out, pulling her weak body tight against my chest until there was no space left between us.Her warm hands dragged up my face. "Please… take me," she whispered, her voice thick and slurred.Anger flared in my chest.Was she really ready to give herself to just anyone like this?But I shut the thought down immediately. She wasn't in her right mind. She was d

    ~Lora~"Why do you still have this?" I jabbed his chest with my index finger.He tensed, his jaw tightening. "Why? Does it bother you that I didn't erase it?""I told you to get rid of the tattoo, Alex. What do you want people to think when you finally meet someone?"“Sssh,” he murmured, leaning in

    ~Lora~I didn't realise Nicolas had reached for my wrist, just a brush of fingers.But Alex snapped, his fist connected with Nicolas’s jaw before I even understood what was happening.He lifted me like I weighed nothing, arms steady in a way that annoyed the hell out of me My breath hitched as my

    ~Lora~I made my way to the VVIP lounge, trying to clear my thoughts of everything, especially the feeling that someone was watching me.I took another shot of the whiskey, its warmth against my throat distracted me.Now I regret handing my phone to James, because he was nowhere on sight.

    ~Lora~“Mrs. Brown, can you hear me?”A faint voice stirred me from the darkness. I blinked rapidly as everything became clear.“Thank God you're awake”, the nurse said, smiling warmly, relief washed over her.“What happened?” I asked hoarsely, my body feeling strangely light...numb.“You collapse
