LOGINAva My mouth went completely dry. I wanted to laugh it off or lie but the words would not come. “It is not what you think.”“Then explain it to me.” His eyes locked on mine and would not let go. “Because as a doctor I know exactly why someone would do that during sex. You are pregnant Ava.”“No I am not.” The denial came out automatic and weak.Noah just kept looking at me calm but clearly disappointed. “Your breasts are tender. I could feel it the second I touched them. The way you look pale, the nausea you are probably fighting. And now you are yanking hair? How far along are you?”I pushed at his chest but he caught my wrists gently and held them. Tears stung my eyes even though I blinked hard to stop them. “I do not know. A few weeks maybe. Fine. Yes. I am pregnant. Are you happy now?”He let my wrists go and sat back rubbing his face with both hands. “Not happy. Worried as hell. Why did you not just tell me straight instead of this whole seduction act?”“Because I suck at this o
Ava My phone felt heavy in my hand that next morning as I sat on the edge of my bed staring at the screen. Sunlight came through the blinds in strips and hit the little plastic baggie on my nightstand, the one with Jax’s single hair strand inside. My stomach did that rolling thing again, the nausea that kept hitting me out of nowhere. I typed the text to Noah, deleted it, typed it again three times before I finally sent something simple.“Hey. Can we meet up today? Need to talk. It’s important.”I tossed the phone down and stood up, walking around my room because sitting still made everything feel worse. My thighs still ached from yesterday in the hallway with Jax, that quick desperate fuck against the wall while Mom chopped vegetables right down the hall. Every step reminded me of him, the way he had filled me up again and left me leaking all through dinner. I pressed my legs together and tried not to think about it too hard, but my body remembered anyway. Mom had already left for w
Ava "Normally . Sure. Because walking around leaking my stepbrother's cum is totally normal." I straightened up, legs wobbly, and shot him a glare. My stomach rolled again, that nausea hitting harder now, but I swallowed it down and forced a sarcastic smile. "You are going to get us both killed one day.""Worth it." He kissed my cheek quick and grabbed his coffee like he had not just bent me over the kitchen counter. Mom came down a minute later, hair wet, chatting about her day, and I sat there nodding along, thighs pressed tight together, feeling him drip out of me while she asked if I wanted eggs. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. Instead I just said, "Yeah, eggs sound great, Mom," in the most normal voice I could fake.The day dragged in that weird way where everything felt too loud and too quiet. Jax left for whatever fake professor things he did, texting me dumb shit like "thinking about round four" that made me snort . Evening rolled around and Mom decided to cook a
Ava Jax still had not caught his breath all the way when he tugged me tighter against his chest, his skin hot and sticky against mine, heart hammering like he had just run stairs. "Alright, you asked for the best one," he muttered, voice all rough and smug at the same time, rolling me over before I could even roll my eyes properly. He pressed me down flat on my stomach, yanked my hips up just enough so my ass tilted back toward him, and slid back inside me in one slow push that made my breath hitch so hard I bit the pillow."Shit, Jax," I whispered, because yeah, this angle hit everywhere at once, deep and grinding, like he was trying to remind every inch of me who had been inside me twice already tonight. He did not go fast. He just rocked into me with these lazy, heavy thrusts, hips rolling in circles that pressed right against that spot and made my toes curl up tight. His chest covered my back, mouth right by my ear, hot breath tickling as he talked."Feel that, Ava? So fucking de
Liv I wiped at my eyes because yeah they were leaking again and I hated it. “Fine. Sara. I accept it. Whatever. She’s Sara. But Kacy I’m serious, this resemblance thing is messing me up bad. Every time she cries it sounds like Ava throwing one of her fits when we were kids and I keep thinking what if she grows up and turns into that? What if the poison messed with her too somehow even though the doctors swear it didn’t? I almost died because of my own sister and now I’ve got this living copy staring at me like she’s waiting for me to love her the same way I love Saphira and I don’t know if I can yet. I don't want her to despise me the way I despise my mom. ”Kacy handed Sara back to Zoe quickly so he could grab both my hands and squeeze them tight. His voice dropped lower but it stayed steady. “I know. I saw your face in the ICU. I get it. The poisoning, the way your family just let it happen, the months of you being sick and scared, it’s all still right there. But this kid didn’t do
LivI wheeled back into the room with Kacy pushing the chair and my whole body already starting to feel like it had been run over by a truck twice, and the second we crossed the door the blonde baby was still going full siren mode, that loud piercing cry bouncing off the walls like she owned the place and everybody else better shut up and listen. Zoe had her up on her shoulder doing these ridiculous little bounces while Mia was right there beside her waving a pacifier like it was a magic wand yelling, “Come on you tiny dictator, take the damn thing before we all go deaf, your mama just got back from the dead zone and she does not need this right now.”Mia spotted us first and her face split into this huge grin but then she clocked the way I was gripping the arms of the wheelchair and her eyes narrowed. “Liv you look like you saw a ghost, what happened in the NICU, is the other one okay?” Zoe turned too fast and the baby let out an extra loud wail that made my ears ring and she thrust
Ava His mouth stayed glued to my left breast, sucking so hard and deep it felt like he was claiming every inch of me. The pull was steady, strong, making my whole chest throb in this sweet, aching way that sent heat rushing straight down between my thighs. He wasn’t teasing anymore. No light flick
Ava He pulled back just long enough to growl, “No you don’t,” then dove in again, sucking my clit from behind, two fingers sliding in deep and curling. I was so close already, body betraying me completely, thighs shaking, moans slipping out between the curses.Then the knock came loud, impatient o
~Ava~He sat up, stretching, muscles flexing in a way that made me want round two already. "Room service? Or we brave the restaurant looking like we just fucked?""Room service," I said quickly, "I'm not putting clothes on yet. And order something greasy, burgers, fries, the works. Romance over, fe
AvaThen the door burst open, some hotel guy with the spare key finally showed and Calder charged in like a bull, eyes wild, grabbing the waiter by the collar and yanking him off me, slamming him against the wall with a thud that shook the pictures. "You motherfucker! Get your hands off her!" Calde
