Avery—
I glance at the clock. It’s already midnight. And yet, my cheating whore of a mother still hasn’t come home from a week of throwing a tantrum, threatening my breathtakingly handsome Greek god for a stepfather and her husband to leave if she doesn’t do what she wants.
So, he reluctantly agreed, although I could see it in his face how much my mother hurt him.
Poor stepdaddy. Although he treats me and my mother well, showering her with all the jewelry and money she could possibly get, it still wasn’t enough.
Well, tonight, I will make it up to him.
I sit up and gather the courage to slip out of my bedroom. All alone, the hallway in the third floor lights up. I could feel the thumping of my heart along with the thud of my footsteps as I maneuver to the master bedroom.
Just as I expected, the door wasn’t locked. He usually would leave it ajar in case my mother decided to show up after a long night of partying. I doubt she even had the energy to entertain him by then.
I was surprised to see the bed empty and my heart almost leapt right out of my chest when I felt body heat radiating right behind me.
“Trouble falling asleep again?”
My breath hitched in my throat as I swallowed it.
I slowly turned around and lifted my eyes to see my perfect stepdaddy was standing behind me all along. How long has he been there? Panic shoots through me, and I prayed he hadn’t realized I’ve been a peeking through a slit at him every night when my mother is gone.
“Y-Yeah…” I lie through my teeth, giving him the most awkward smile.
He runs his fingers through his hair as he licks his lips, making them glisten.
“Me too.” He flashes me a smile without showing his teeth, and my pussy clenched.
Fuck. Why does he have to be so handsome?
Clearly, my mother doesn’t deserve him. He deserves someone who wants him not for his money, but would do anything to please him.
And yes, you fucking guessed it. Someone like me.
“Mother isn’t home.” I whisper, looking up at him. God, he’s tall. I needed to crane my neck up just to look at him. Everything about him screams masculinity and perfection, carved by the gods themselves.
“She’ll be home any minute.” He gives me a fake smile. He knows damn well that isn’t true. She’ll be home by noon, only to change into expensive slutty clothes that barely cover her ass before she slips out of the house without any of us knowing. But the mention of my whore mother out of his mouth instantly extinguishes the flames rising from my core.
“Still waiting on her, huh?”
He blinks and looks at me for a second, and I don’t avert my gaze. I hold his gaze until he runs his huge palm down his rugged face.
“It’s late. Try to get some sleep, hm?” he says before turning away from me and walking into his room. His back turned to me, and he pauses before saying, “Goodnight, Avery.”
Clenching my fists, I reluctantly nod when I realize he can’t see me. Almost like he’s trying to avoid looking at me.
“Goodnight, Mason.”
I don’t call him dad. I don’t want to. He isn’t my dad. He came into our lives when I was 18 years old and married my mother out of nowhere just a month after my real dad died. She said they had been childhood friends. For a period of time, I had grown to despise him. But, seeing how he genuinely tried to understand my heart, how he cared for me and mother, how he put up with me and my unreasonable attitude for so long, I finally opened up to him.
He gently closed the door behind him, but he didn’t lock it, as always.
He’s still waiting for her to come back.
A part of me wants to tell him the truth. But another part of me feels like he already knows it.
With a heavy heart, I turn my back and head back to my cold, lonely room.
An hour in, and I still can’t sleep. I just turned off the television, trying to distract myself and my need to go to him, comfort him.
One sheep. Two sheep. Three sheep.
I sigh.
Fuck it.
Sitting up, I moved swiftly to my closet, pulling out the sexy lingerie Mason bought for my mother that she tossed to the bin the minute he looked away. Even the flowers he got for her the day of their anniversary, which also happened to be my real father’s birthday.
I sigh, shaking away the negative thoughts and bringing myself to focus on my new mission instead.
I have been patient for too long.
Tonight will be the night.
With no more hesitation, I slipped into the sexy red lingerie and sneaked out of my bedroom. Opening the door as quietly as I can, I peek into the room first to make sure he is really asleep.
Once I saw that he is deep in his sleep, I close the door and lock it.
With the door closed, everything is pitch-black. I navigate my way through the darkness. My foot hitting the edge of the bed.
I bend and crawled to his side. The bed dips a little, and a creaking sound echoes as I curl up beside him. I turn my back on him, letting my ass inch closer wherever it would touch his body. Hopefully, right where I wanted.
God must have been on my side because I felt his hard dick rub against my ass.
Well, fuck.
North’s POV“Fix the last table," I said to Amelia while I moved the last set of cutlery to the fifth table. It was finally D-Day for Isla and Caleb’s engagement party. It was my first event I was planning and I had promised to give my best and that was exactly what I was going to do with the help of Kora, Amelia and Eliza.After taking one last look at the perfect work of the girls, I stood beside the podium to make sure I wasn't missing anything. “Here," Kora passed me a glass of juice which I gulped down at once.“I never knew you were thirsty." She mumbled, offering me her glass but I refused. “I'm okay." “Are you certain?" She asked, staring at me like she could read through my thoughts. We were heading back to the kitchen when she nudged my side slightly. “Uhm…” "Finn, did you tell him about the event?” She asked, making me halt. In practiced motion, I turned around to face her."Why should I involve him in my affair?" "What's up with the questions?” She huffed. "If you
Finn’s POVThe moment the alarm went off, I let out a low sigh as I threw my feet off the bed. I wasn't going to work today, instead, I was going to be on the next plane heading to Washington to meet with dad. The call from last night was from him. He didn't sound as if something was wrong but he asked me to return home, saying it was urgent.I tried all I could to talk him into telling me what he wanted on the phone but he insisted he was going to tell me in person. Ten minutes was more than enough for me to get dressed and when I was done, I went down stairs. North was already in the kitchen at that time as the whiff of bacon greeted me when I got to the base of the stairs and it made my mouth water.Checking my wristwatch, I let out a low sigh before heading towards the kitchen to inform her of my destination.“Hey," I greeted, leaning against the counter.“Are you leaving already?" She sounded alarmed as she swirled around to face me. "I had no idea you were going to leave thi
North’s POVClenching my fists by my side, I began to storm up the stairs, holding back the tears that were threatening to roll down my cheeks.The moment I locked my bedroom door behind me, I allowed my tears to stream down in torrents.Grabbing my chest with a hand, I slid down against the wood only to bury my face in my palms, and cried like I haven’t done in years. It was the kind of cry that scorched your chest and left you gasping between hiccups. I hated myself for it, I hated how my jealousy had exposed itself so viciously.I had no right to feel the way I did. Finn and I weren’t real, we were just a performance, a well-executed lie.But the lipstick stain, the perfume, the way he kept standing there like he was the one who was hurt, I couldn’t hold it in.I pulled my knees up to my chest and let the tears fall, my breath catching every time I remembered the way he looked at me, like I really mattered and like I was more than just a contract wife.Why did that hurt more than
North’s POVTime went more quickly than I had expected.Flipping through the materials on my desk, I was staring at the screen of my laptop at the same time. I was going to meet with a client for breakfast tomorrow so I wanted to make sure I put everything in order before leaving. “I can see you are getting ready for your date with Finn," Kora said from the door. "I wish I could sit at a table from across and watch the only couple I wouldn't mind betting my life savings on that they will end up together.” She mouthed.Straightening up, I locked eyes with her. "What? Are you going to gobble me up?” She laughed. She knew how to press my buttons and when I was triggered she kept pushing it. “I’ll act like you aren't even there." I muttered, rolling my eyes at her."Come on, I'm rooting for you…" “Thank you Kora, see you." I cut in, grabbing my purse from the table. I was going to storm through the door when it creaked open and Eliza walked in. “Your husband is here." She chirped, a
Finn’s POV“So, you're saying that bitch had the guts to drop by your house after what she did." Raiden huffed, his chest rising and falling in rhythm. Nodding slowly, I fell back on my chair, my gaze on my name plaque.I was expecting Lex to at least give me a call, not like I was yearning for it. But the call never came, same as a text.“Come on man, you shouldn't have let her go like that. That bitch has guts so you have to put her in her place.” "So what are you saying I should do?” I groaned, biting the corner of my lips. Placing my hand on the table, I leaned forward, "David still thinks I’m playing a prank on him.” "The contract?” "I’m already halfway done with it. If he halts it, the media will find out in no time and… man, I’m frustrated.” Taking a deep breath, Raiden plopped on the couch, sitting crossed legged as he sank into the couch. The next minute, he was chewing his fingers like he always does whenever he was bothered. Snapping my eyes shut, I sank into my chai
North’s POVFinn wasn't the type to talk a lot and so he rarely said anything unnecessary, but this morning, his silence felt heavier and charged with something I couldn’t name but could definitely feel on my skin.I sat in the front seat of his car, legs crossed and pretending to scroll through my emails while secretly watching his jawline flex every time he shifted gears. This man had no business looking this good on a Monday morning. And yet, here he was in a tailored charcoal suit that screamed power, and seated beside him was me. My skin still tingled from the memory of his hands on my body two nights ago.This morning, I started to regret my actions. I hated the fact that I allowed myself to fall for him when I ought to have avoided him entirely. It made me feel vulnerable and weak. But there was no point crying over spilled milk. Instead of doing that, I will make sure I don't repeat the same mistakes. Taking a deep breath, I bit the corner of my lips before shifting my gaz
