Finding Home In Him The Confession
Jackson moved away from the door, his heart still racing from what he had heard Charles and Adrianna talking about. He walked down the hall, although he didn't know where he was heading. "Don't trust Charles," the unidentified number kept saying over and over in his head. He couldn't get it. The misgivings had been slowly seeping in, but now they were clear. What had he heard? Was it real? He couldn't deny how Charles' voice had changed when he told Adrianna how he felt about Jackson. Maybe Charles was having the same problem with attraction? Or was Jackson just another piece in his cruel game? The sound of footsteps broke into his thoughts as he turned a corner. When he looked up, he saw Harper standing there with her arms crossed and a worried look on her face. She didn't say anything straight away, but the look on her face made it plain that she had been waiting for him to come to her. "Jackson, talk to me," Harper urged in a lower voice than usual. Jackson halted in front of h
Finding Home In Him Victoria's Return
The doorbell rang, a loud, harsh sound that cut through the silence of the house. Jackson stopped in his tracks. He had been wandering around the mansion without a plan, trying to forget about Charles, but his thoughts stuck to him like shadows. But suddenly, there was a fresh feeling of tension in the air. "Who is it?" Jackson mumbled, his voice too tight for his taste. He heard someone in the corridor say, "Let me guess." "You don't expect anyone to come over." Charles walked into the room, and his face was unreadable, but his eyes changed—a flicker of something he didn't want Jackson to see. Jackson heard the distinct sound of high heels on the marble floors a moment later. Victoria. Jackson's stomach turned. It had been months since he last saw her, right before things started to change between him and Charles. He hadn't heard from her since then, and suddenly she was here. The door opened, and she strolled in, as graceful as ever. Her platinum blonde hair fell in lovely cur
Finding Home In Him The Quiet Confession
Jackson's fingers shook as he gripped his phone. He looked at the screen one last time before his feet took him to Charles's study. He had tried to ignore the flutter in his chest all day, but it was becoming worse with every step he took. Things have been strange since yesterday night. There had been a change between them, but Jackson couldn't say when it happened. He stopped walking for a moment when he heard Charles' voice coming from the other side of the door. It was quiet but distinct. Jackson's pulse skipped a beat as the words flowed into his ears like liquid steel. Charles started, "You know, Adrianna," he began, and the coolness in his voice revealed his weakness. "I've never been the kind of person who gets connected. In our line of work, feelings are a bad thing. But with him... His voice got softer, and Jackson could feel the weight of the words settle into his bones. "Every time he looks at me, I remember something I thought I had buried." I want to get away, but I can
Finding Home In Him The Surprise Visit
The next morning feels different. There is still a lot of tension in the air from last night, but there is also something more that makes my stomach churn in ways I don't want to admit. Jackson left before I could say anything else. I let him go because I knew I couldn't keep him. I pushed him too far, and now he's out there someplace, probably wondering if he really loves me. And I loathe it. I don't like that I care this much. I make myself get ready and go to work, and the typical routine kicks in, even though my mind keeps going back to Jackson. All I can think about is last night, even though the day is dragging on with meeting after meeting. Jackson kissed me in a way that made me feel like he was attempting to resist something he couldn't quite express in words. He didn't say it, but I could tell that kiss meant something to him. It was important to me, too. And I don't think I want to admit it yet. Around noon, right before I leave for lunch, Jackson sends me a text. Whe
Finding Home In Him The Words Not Said
The message's weight is heavy between us. Jackson's words look like a problem on my phone screen. "We need to talk." I can't help but look at the message for longer than I should. His text is basic and to the point, but I can't help but feel my heart racing when I read it. I have been looking forward to this moment, even if I don't want to admit it. We've been getting more and more tense for weeks. Every time we talk, there are unspoken words and gestures that make everything feel... complex. I recline back in my chair and run my hand through my hair. The familiar pain of anger settles in my chest. I don't want to admit it, but I know I can't stay away from him forever. There's something about Jackson that I can't get out of my head since the first time I saw him. I've never met anyone like him before. Not cooked. Not filtered. Not able to be predicted. And damn, it's hard for him to say no. I tap the computer and type a rapid answer before I can change my mind. "Come to my study
Finding Home In Him A Meeting That Wasn't Expected
It's late, and the home is quieter than normal, except for the security system's hum now and then. I should be looking over Thorne Enterprises' most recent financial reports, but something about the night is bothering me. I can't stop thinking about how Jackson disobeyed me earlier today. It's scary how he looks at me and how he challenges me. I can't shake the idea that he isn't here just because he needs me; there's something deeper going on. I sit back in my chair and rub my temples, trying to concentrate on what I'm doing, but my mind keeps going back to him. He is not like anyone else I know. I find him both frustrating and interesting since he is so unpredictable. As I brush my fingers over my hair, I hear footsteps coming closer to my study. I already know who it is without looking up. It's Victoria Caldwell, my long-time family friend and trusty helper. She has always been calm and helpful while I've been operating the business, no matter what. But tonight, I don't want to b
