LOGINEPILOGUE “Go, go, go!” Sebastian screamed from next to me, standing and leaning over the person in front of him as if Ben could hear him over the crowd and the glass. Then again, with how loud the man was, he just might. I had only known Bash in passing from when I worked for Ben as his assista
HAVEN ONE MONTH LATER My eyes kept moving from the woman before me to the clock on the wall behind her. I wanted to be here, but I had more important places to be. She had run over with her last client, which made us run over and caused me to be late for an important game. Ben had been stressin
BEN Haven was empty for the next few weeks as she flew back and forth, cleaning out the house her ex-husband had left her. It had been Cynthia’s home, too, and Haven had been taking extra care and devotion to ensuring things were handled and gone through properly. I had gone with her a few times,

HAVEN When his hand moved back up, I almost let out a cry as he went back, gently sliding along one side of my clit before going back down the other, touching it just enough that it was throbbing with need but not enough to give me the release I desired. “Benjamin Evans, I swear to God…” I snappe
BEN It shouldn’t matter where she chose to lie down, but I also had this uncontrollable need to know if she had chosen my bed or if she had gone into the guest room. If she had chosen the guest room, it felt like it would be a bad omen for the start of our marriage… not that we’ve had a great st
