What’s your take on Felix? Let me know! XoXo
KENDRICK’S POV“Explain why the heck your lips are smudged with lipstick?” Jessica snapped. “You couldn’t possibly just be wearing one and swiped it off, huh?”This girl… wasn’t she the one who was so hyped up about wanting to help me with Becca?“Jessica, I—”“Let her go, you freaking perv,” she half-yelled, and my eyes snapped shut from the impact of her words.She tried to come closer, but I held Becca backward, my eyes locking with Lewis so he’d do something about this situation.“Umm, Miss Reyes, don’t worry. My boss will take care of Miss Belmont,” Lewis said quickly.“Nonsense!” she lashed out. “He’s taking advantage of her. Mom will have to hear what kind of son she raised!”I pinched my temples, shaking my head. “Little sis, I spent most of my life abroad, so technically they didn’t raise me.”“You…” Her breath faltered as she scoffed.I gave her a small wink, signaling Lewis to handle my sister so she wouldn’t interrupt my night.It was already hard enough to get this close
ANNA'S POVBang!The door burst open, and I jolted from the bed. Panic made my blood run cold as I spun toward the direction of the sound.My eyes widened when I saw Felix walking into the room.Well, walking was an understatement. He could barely even move. His steps faltered each time he tried. The stench of alcohol filled the air, making my stomach churn as my nose twisted in disgust.“Felix, why do you look like this? What happened?” I mumbled under my breath, trying to kick the covers off my lap.He hissed and shook his head, like he was trying to shake off the dizziness clouding his senses.How could he end up like this?The last time he drank this heavily was when we had to be separated—because of what that witch did to us.After she forced her way into our lives and made Felix marry her... and out of love, I refused to leave him.Because of her, I had to marry Felix’s older brother just so I could stay close. I needed a legal reason to be near him. Thankfully, that bastard is
KENDRICK'S POVDid she really know it was me?I pulled away, cupping her face in my palm. Her body fumbled against mine, barely even able to keep her eyes open.Both of my palms pressed against her cheeks, searching her face."Becca, look at me. Do you really want to? If you do, don't you dare blame me for anything tomorrow?" I said firmly, licking my bottom lip.Becca’s shoulders jerked as she laughed casually, staggering within my hold.This woman was dead drunk but yet so far fucking irresistible. A damn walking temptation."Huh? What are you saying? Can you speak louder, I can't hear anything." Becca shook her head, her pink perky lips forming into a pout.So damn inviting.I tore my gaze from her lips, already feeling my arousal swell within the restraints of my pants. Jesus Christ, Becca.I hissed, twirling my head as it spun with desires... Forbidden desires.With this woman, how long could I hold onto my fragile grip of whatever control I had left in me?My hand crept from her
Anna's "Ahhhh!"A sharp, guttural scream tore from my throat the moment I stepped into my room. It was raw and primal like a unhinged banshee.My chest heaved violently, each breath was jagged and shallow as rage and despair twisted together in my gut.How could that witch—how dare she treat me this way?My vision blurred with tears, but I didn't care. My arms lashed out, sweeping everything off the table in a chaotic frenzy. Glass shattered. Books thudded against the floor. The clatter of broken pieces echoed around the room.Hot tears spilled down my cheeks and through the mess of my smudged makeup. My entire body trembled from helplessness clawing at my insides."I can’t lose. I won’t lose."My fingers, trembling uncontrollably, fumbled for my phone.I dialed Felix."Come on... come on..."It went straight to voicemail.I slammed my fist against the wall."Dammit, Felix! Where the fuck are you!" I shouted, my voice cracking with emotion.I hit redial. Again—voicemail.A deep
KENDRICK'S POVDid I just hear correctly? I asked myself.My head tilted sideways as I blinked."Honey, if you don't hug me, I won't..." Becca let out a hiccup, and her shoulders jerked.My eyes widened as my hands moved forward.Slowly, I stepped closer to where she was, and before I could get to her, she jumped on me, wrapping her arms around my neck.Every muscle in my body must have forgotten how to move because I froze.My hands stuck midway in the air as I blinked into space.She snuggled closer, taking in my scent. Her breasts pressed hard against my chest, and I closed my eyes.This was not the right time to start thinking about unholy things. Becca needed comfort—not... well, not that."Hmm, I missed this so much," I heard her say softly, just a few inches from my ear.My hands reached out to caress her back, drawing her closer. Moments like this were rare...Rare was putting it mildly. Becca would never let me hold her like this when she was sober, even though I wanted her t
KENDRICK'S POVRING! RING! RING!"Christ, what is it this time?" I hissed in frustration, tightening my hand over the wheel. The cold air whooshed through the window, blowing a few strands of hair from my face. I already had a feeling it was messy, but I didn’t care.I narrowed my eyes at my cell phone lying on the seat beside me as I raced through Langford’s bustling city. It seemed the whole town came alive in the dark, more than it ever did during the day.Lewis’ name popped up on the screen, and I couldn’t help but grit my teeth.It had been minutes—if not hours—since I left the house, and I’d been stuck in a horrible traffic. All the while, it felt like my brain was on fire.Now Lewis was calling. I could only hope… pray that Becca was alright.Safe and sound. Or else, blood will spill if she’s not.I blinked through the glass in front of me, turned the wheel, and snatched up the phone to answer."Where is she?" I asked sharply."Boss, Miss Belmont is in pretty bad shape… and sh
