Our gaze stayed locked for what felt like an eternity (probably three seconds, but whatever, who was counting), before Donald's dragging my trousers drew my attention to him.

“What do you mean?” I asked, my voice low, but demanding answers.

Answers that must be offered.

He just stared, then pocketed both hands, his shoulders relaxing slightly. “After meeting you this morning, I had to come back, just to see you here and the rest.”

Oh. So he was here only for business.

Of course, that was the only thing Dale Beldson could ever think about.

I huffed.

“Mummy, I want to sleep.” Donald muttered drowsily.

Dale stared from me to him, then back to my arm, where his eyes caught the mark caused by the guy's grip. “If you don't want to go to the hospital, I have an ointment in my car, use that.”

He didn't wait for my reply, before walking past me.

My initial plan was to head straight to my car, because why the heck should I care about his bullshit when he didn't care while the guy held me so pai

    “What's wrong?” I asked, getting in. “And where's Emery?”He had his arm folded. “She has to be somewhere so I'm staying with Dale.” His head shake let me know that wasn't the important part. “Whatever. We've got to talk.”“Okay?” I stopped by the couch, turning to where he still stood by the door, brows furrowed slightly.“Emery called to let me know you and Dale have gotten back together.” The words came with a frown.One that made my brows dip. “Huh?”“Is it really true you both are now together?” He asked again.“Well, I guess.” I wasn't sure what his definition of being ‘together’ was, but with the few times, I'd say what we had wasn't just ordinary business people. Or even friends.He was more than that. So I'd guess we were together.Cole scoffed, not at all looking pleased. “Seriously? Why? Why are you going back with me?”A deep crease had formed between my brows now. “I don't see how any of that has got anything to do with you.”Then my hand moved to my hip. “In fact, I need

    The next morning, I woke up to the sound of a shower from the bathroom.Dale was likely having his bath.My eyes glanced through the wall clock which read six forty one.With a stretch, I sat up, just as the shower stopped.He got out with a lower half wrapped in a towel, that it took so much effort for my eyes to not fall on his below enough for me to get the outline of his crotch.“Morning beauty.” I found a smile on my lips just by those words. “Good morning to you too.” Then I asked, “why are you bathing so early? Do you have to be somewhere?”“Yeah, Rita just called to let me know there's some work that needs my attention.” He shook his head. “I'd have loved to spend the morning here with you, but of course I've got to go.”A part of me groaned at that fact, because yeah, even I would have loved to spend the morning with him.However, I didn't voice my thoughts or make it evident in my expression.Instead, I got out of bed, not caring that I was still naked, as I went in search

    My lips parted, but rather than saying anything, they spread in a charmed smile.One that made him offer the most handsome smile I'd ever seen from any man.Woah.“I want to show you something.” He stood up, then stretched out a hand for me to take.Slowly, my hand lifted to his huge own, where he gently pulled me to my feet, but rather than dropping my hand, he intertwined our fingers.I stared at our hands, my cheeks warming, because when was the last time I held a guy.It felt so weird, but good at the same time.He led me out of the bar, then to his room.Wait, his room?I almost paused. The word ‘almost’ is used because I didn't.My mind, though, went on a scream mode.Really??What would happen in his room. Of course, I knew the answer to that.The main question should be, did I want it to?With the rate my heart was beating, and how my clits tightened as we got into his room, I had a feeling I might want exactly what being alone with him in the room could be.“What am I seeing?

    It all happened so fast that my brain had to take a second of processing before I registered the words well enough.Dale had his arm on me. In public at that. And was asking to be a listening ear.Wow.I wasn't even sure how to respond. What exactly was one to say in such a situation.His eyes bore into mine like he was searching for something.Something I had no idea of.“It's a long story.” My voice came out slightly exhausted, surprising me a little.“I'm ready to listen to it.” He dropped his hand from me, and I couldn't help but notice how much warmth stayed around the area. I raised a brow, knowing it most likely wouldn't make a lot of sense to talk to him about the problem going on.“No, it's okay.” I sighed that out instead. “Can you just get me anywhere we can have a drink and get drunk?”He didn't look pleased that I was refusing his offer of being a helping hand, but that was quickly swept from his expression as he nodded.“You can have a drink at the bar in my place.” Whe

    ~ Chloe ~I had stayed with a conflicted thought since Emery left, but Kanyin had called to let me know I had some work to complete. Especially for some partnering companies, and needed to be available.Which was what made me take a shower, brush my teeth then put on a white shirt tucked in a black tummy jean trousers, with a dark colored parka jacket.Donald was one reason I didn't leave yet. I wasn't going to be dropping him home or in the hands of any baby sitter, because Emery had made it clear from the beginning that she didn't want one.And as she was already mad at me, I didn't want to add to that by breaching her personal preferences.My plan was to take Donald with me when she walked in, her hair a complete mess, cheeks wet and colored from obvious crying.She looked miserable. Eyes swollen, nose reddened, ears a shade of pink, lips huge in tears.The green gown she had on didn't help matters the least.My heart ached at the sight and I rushed over, “what happened? Why were y

    ~ Emery ~I stomped out of the house as my eyes filled, not wanting to burst into tears in front of Donald or Chloe.Because the outburst and all I'd said reminded me of the pain and hurt my situation was.My feet wandered to wherever it felt, a drop of tear rolling down my cheek.This all was sad. Thinking about the fact I had to shout at Donald when he did nothing wrong only worsened my mood.That would be a first, and I really hoped it never happened again. I would have to make up for it all.But first, I knew I needed to think everything through.If it wasn't for the fact this was still morning, I'd have stopped by a bar and drunk myself to stupor.Anything to clear off my thoughts.Suddenly, a car stopped beside me, involuntarily halting my movement. The sun shone in my eyes as I turned, so I had to use a hand to shield its rays, watching as the car window rolled to reveal Sam.“Oh, I thought I saw you.” His eyes squinted as he observed me. “Are you— crying?”Was I?I touched m
