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 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 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
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.
