ALEXANDER Leaving Bailee was harder than I had anticipated. I had never cared before for anyone else’s input regarding how I ran my business as an individual. Their opinions on my actions were of little mind to me. The actions I took for the business were a different story. I would have meeting a
ALEXANDER “I told you she would break him,” Bash said, his voice coming through the speakerphone as I sat staring at Mason in my visitor’s chair. “She didn’t break me.” Mason snapped back, sounding appalled by the accusation. “You want her. You’ve never wanted anyone before, not for more than a
BAILEE I didn’t know the girl, but all day, I felt like I needed to call Vivian and apologize again for blowing her up like that, even though we had cleared the air back at the house. My careless accusation had caused her to get dumped and to fear for the security of her job within seconds of ea
BAILEE “I don’t think those are considered fan pages, then,” I mumbled instinctively, and Ben held my stare for a long moment before the corner of his mouth turned up, and he chuckled. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” “I’m really sorry you are having to go through that,” I said, walking forward an
Ben stilled, looking down at what he had just packed for a long moment before realizing I was being sarcastic. “Very funny. Look, I leave tomorrow, and I don’t want to forget anything or run out. If the press catches me leaving the facility and running to the store for anything, they will spin it an
ALEXANDER My knee bounced as I stared at the garage door, waiting for her to open it and enter the kitchen. I didn’t like that she was supposed to be on bed rest, yet she was still going to work and driving around. At the very least, I wanted my driver to take her wherever she wanted to go, but s
BAILEE My body stilled as my hand closed around the small velvet box in his pocket. Everything in me was telling me to take it out. I needed to confirm that it was what I suspected, but I was also terrified that I would be wrong. What if I was just getting my hopes up, and it was just a pair of
BAILEE Alex was surprisingly calm for a man who potentially left an engagement ring in the jacket he just asked me to search. Hell, he was even whistling as he got into the shower that night, and I immediately pulled out my phone and dialed Lacey while he was busy, breathing a sigh of relief when
BEN Coach Dawson had always been a bit of a hard read. He was like a father to most of us but had a magical ability to turn that side of him on or off when he needed to. It was how most of us knew if there was an issue, a trade, or bad news coming our way. He would go from Coach to Coach Dawson.
HAVEN A nap didn’t happen. However, rounds two and three did after I showed Ben the sex tape. He was floored at first, unable to pull his eyes away, but then he was just horny. In typical male fashion, his chest puffed up with pride when he watched me cum for him, moaning out his name. “Did R
HAVEN I didn’t bother opening my eyes in the dark room and didn’t need to. I could feel him everywhere. “This has to go,” He whispered, kissing down my collar until he was between my breasts, his tongue dipping beneath the band of my tank top. My nipples were hard and pebbled beneath the fabric,
HAVEN My body was on fire, my core throbbing and my mind racing as I blinked several times, trying to get my eyes to adjust to the dark so I could see Ben. Instead, I found my eyes closing as his warm body settled over me, the bed sinking in. His hips were pressed against mine, and I gasped at
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
HAVEN My hands shook as I pulled up my browser before quickly closing it and opening it in incognito as if that made any difference. The light of my phone made the already dark room around me feel like an empty void, and I squinted but kept my brightness up. I wanted to see everything. Knowledg
HAVEN Not for the first time since we got home, I found myself staring at Ben as he moved around the house. His tension was evident in his movements as he tried to straighten up the already clean house, and I knew something needed to change. We had to either talk about the video or relive it befor
HAVEN The private jet was a nice touch, and I appreciated that the airport was also private and didn’t allow any of the press on the runway. But they were waiting at home like little vultures, wanting to pick the last bit of humanity off our exhausted and empty bodies. Siri had been screaming bl
BEN The flight home was one of the most uncomfortable plane rides I had ever been on, and I had once been trapped on a private jet with Mason and a stewardess loudly fucking in the private bedroom in the back. This made that look tame, and everyone on this flight remained seated the entire time.
