ANGELA’S POV

The drive started out so quiet I could hear my own breathing. My hands stayed locked on the wheel, but I kept sneaking little glances at him. Aaron looked too calm, sitting with one arm hooked on the door and the other resting on his leg like he belonged there. Like none of this made him the least bit nervous. That steadiness of his set my nerves on fire.

When the streetlights slid over his face, every flicker showed me something new. The hard line of his jaw, the way his lashes cut shadows, the corner of his mouth twitching when he realized I was staring.

“Eyes on the road,” he said, soft but teasing.

I huffed, squeezing the wheel tighter. “I am.”

“Mm. Sure.” That half smile of his made my stomach turn over. I hated it, but I also didn’t. I wanted him to keep needling me.

We turned onto his street, and I swear my jaw nearly dropped. My foot almost slipped from the gas. His house loomed ahead, iron gates, tall hedges, a mansion glowing like it had been painted into the ni

  • Fate Or Mates   0032: Stomach Twisting Hello

    ANGELA’S POVThe kitchen felt too quiet when it was finally time to say goodbye. My suitcase was already by the door, and the smell of breakfast still lingered in the air, but my chest felt heavy.Uncle George was the first to pull me into a hug, his arms firm and grounding. “You’re always welcome here, Angela. Don’t forget that.”I smiled up at him, my throat tightening. “Thank you, Uncle George. For everything. I mean it.”His wife, Aunt Laila, hugged me next, softer and warmer. “Safe travels, sweetheart. Call me when you get home, alright? And don’t let your mom fuss you too much.”That made me laugh, even though my eyes stung a little. “I promise.”Then came the kids. Drew ruffled my hair like I was ten years old. “Don’t be a stranger, Angie. We expect you back soon.”“Yeah, with snacks this time,” Leo added, grinning. “None of that cheap stuff either. Bring something good.”I rolled my eyes, swatting at him. “Noted. I’ll bring the good snacks.”Rainey was trying not to cry when s

  • Fate Or Mates   0031:Post Kiss Symptoms

    ANGELA’S POVAs I drove home, my body began to burn where Aaron had touched me. My lips were warm and tingly, along with my cheeks, arms, and thighs, everywhere Aaron had made contact.Is this what a crush feels like? Even when I was crushing on Julius in my previous life, it was never this intense. The further I drove from Aaron’s house, the sicker I felt, the tighter the knot in my stomach grew.The whole drive back felt like floating instead of steering the car. My hands were on the wheel, but my mind was nowhere near the road. All I could think about was him.That kiss. God, that kiss. The way his lips were warm and soft yet carried an intensity, like he already knew exactly how to undo me. And the worst part was how my body betrayed me, leaning into him, grinding my hip against his before my brain even had a chance to argue.I bit my lip, the ghost of the kiss still there, as if my mouth could still feel his. My cheeks heated again just remembering how close his hand had been on

  • Fate Or Mates   0029: Barefooted And Bold

    ANGELA’S POVBy dinner, I felt like I had been wrung out like a wet towel. My aunt had gone all out: roasted turkey, fried rice, vegetables. The works. I piled my plate as high as I could, because food, well... food fixes things, even if just for a little while.Dinner that night felt different. Maybe it was because it was one of my last nights there, or maybe it was just the weight of everything swirling in my head. Either way, I could feel Rainey sneaking glances at me from across the table while her parents chatted about their day.“So, Angela,” her mom said warmly, scooping a little rice onto her plate. “Rainey tells me you already have your bag packed for tomorrow?”“Yes, ma’am,” I said, forcing a smile. “It has been a really good visit though. I am grateful for how welcoming you have all been.”Her dad chuckled. “Well, you have been no trouble at all. Honestly, I think Rainey needed the company. She has been glued to her phone less this week.”“Dad!” Rainey groaned, rolling her

  • Fate Or Mates   0028:An Apology

    ANGELA’S POVNothing is fine, but I didn’t say that. How do you tell your mother you couldn’t find your mate and you’re going home to a marriage that could kill you? Instead, I lied because it was easier. “I’m fine, Mom. Just tired.” Because sometimes tired feels like the smallest, safest truth you can give.The call with Mom ended, and I let out a long, tired sigh as I flopped back onto the bed. My chest felt heavy. Frustrated didn’t even begin to cover it. I stared at the ceiling for a while, trying to gather myself, then pushed up and went back to folding clothes into my suitcase. I was halfway through when the door creaked open.Rainey slipped inside, leaning against the frame with a small smile. “Hey, want to go shopping? One last hangout before you leave.”I dropped a shirt into the suitcase and looked at her. The idea sounded good. I didn’t want to waste a whole day brooding. “Yeah, why not,” I said, and a smile came easier than it had all morning.A little while later we drift

  • Fate Or Mates   0027: Waking Up With A Stranger

    ANGELA’S POVSunlight slid across my face and woke me slow. The blankets were heavy and warm, like they were holding onto heat. For a second I just wanted to stay wrapped up. Then I realized something else was in the bed with me. I tried to sit up and couldn’t. The more I pushed, the tighter the person behind me pulled me in.I was about to scream when a wash of something else hit me. Pleasure, familiar and sharp, flooded my limbs. My stomach and legs were humming. The scream I had planned turned into a breathy exhale. The person behind me shifted.A big hand moved from my stomach to my hip and tugged me closer. He was huge. I could have vanished in his arms and no one would have noticed. “Good morning,” a deep voice purred. His breath ghosted past my shoulder and sent goosebumps down my arms. Honestly, he made me feel half-brained and soft in a way I hated.“Are you cold?” he asked, his fingers traveling from my hip up my side and down my arm. The touch made the bumps on my skin flar
