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
BAILEE Alex was extraordinarily happy that night and the following day. He didn’t stop smiling until we reached Ben’s house to say goodbye. Only then did his good mood fade. As soon as I saw Ben was already by his car, about to put his suitcase in, I jumped out of ours and rushed to unbuckle Br
EPILOGUE “If you get on one knee without a ring in your hands, one more time, I am going to kill you.” I hissed, narrowing my eyes at Alex. We had already been on the cover of hundreds of magazines. They seemed to get as much of a kick out of this as he did. Each time, there was one page with him
BEN I slowed as I turned off the main road and down the hidden path that led to Limitless, Alexander Kingston’s sports medicine rehabilitation facility. Although it hadn’t been my first choice, I feared it was the only option I had if I wanted the best specialists in the field and guaranteed disc
HAVEN I could hear my blood pumping in my ears as I read and reread his name on my chart. Benjamin Evans. My boss Suzie told me we had a VIP client arriving today, but I didn't know who. All I knew was that Mr. Kingston was sending someone important in and that we were instructed to give
BEN “I’m feeling tired and would love to turn in. If you leave my schedule with me, I will review it and explore the facility another time.” I said as calmly as possible, even though I was annoyed beyond belief that she was here. Just when I thought my life couldn’t drag me down any lower, fate d
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.
HAVEN It must have been karmic intervention, but I hadn’t figured out what we could have done that was so bad. Still, it seemed we weren’t meant to have our happily ever after. The universe and everyone in it seemed to oppose Ben and me getting married. It was too late, as he was officially min
HAVEN I should have been blushing from the looks we got when we returned downstairs, but I wasn’t. With my hand in Ben's, I was smiling bigger than ever before as he spotted our wedding planner in the lobby and pulled me to follow her to an event room. The woman had worked wonders, and I was blown
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
HAVEN The fire in Ben’s eyes was something I hadn’t seen in years, and my chest rose and fell sharply as he leaned in and captured my lips in a kiss. “You drive me crazy.” He said, pulling away before lifting his thumb to my lips. “The feeling’s mutual,” I whispered, stunned by the dominating w
BEN She was shutting down. Haven’s smile was gone, as was the shaking of her hand in mine. It was as if she had become empty, devoid of emotion, as she stared blankly at the officiant. I knew she had been nervous about getting married and wanted something intimate and romantic since her last wed
HAVEN My hands were shaking as we left the hotel. The photographers snapped a few pictures of me getting my dress buttoned, pictures of me and Siri, and then some of the three of us together before leaving me with security and running off to get in position for the first look. The breezeway that
HAVEN I turned to look at Cynthia, feeling guilty and remorseful that they had dragged Max into this. She had told me it was fine and that no matter what they said about him, it wouldn’t matter because we knew the truth. It wasn’t like their lies could have an impact on Max, his career, or his li
