Charles

It's been three hours since the procedure. I should've gotten a chair to sit on hours ago, but I don’t want to leave her alone until she opens her eyes. Besides, I'm too exhausted. It took me five hours to remove all the tissue. So here I am, sitting on the floor, waiting.

Nathalie doesn't deserve any of these. If she was with me, she probably wouldn't have ever gone through this.

It’s the first time in years, she’s made me think things over. I have never sat down this way, like an ord

  • I Want Her Bare, Always   Chapter 75

    JaxMaybe I was beginning to overthink everything but the happiness and euphoria died down almost five hours later. Why haven’t they sent the email? Did they suddenly think I was unworthy? Or maybe they found out I was lying about everything?I remained on the couch, staring at the ceiling like it had answers.Actually, it didn’t.Hazel was somewhere behind me, moving things around in the kitchen, humming like she didn’t have a care in the world.I groaned softly and turned to the side.“This is pointless,” I muttered to myself, dragging my hand over my face.I hadn’t heard anything from the company.No call.No email.No nothing.Which, in my experience, usually meant one thing.Rejection.I closed my eyes for a second.Then…Ping.I froze.My eyes snapped open.“Ugh,” I groaned louder this time, pressing my face into the couch cushion. “That’s definitely another rejection.”Hazel’s voice came from the kitchen.“What is?” she asked casually.“My life,” I replied dramatically.Hazel

  • I Want Her Bare, Always   Chapter 74

    JaxI tried to focus on Noah’s voice, but my attention kept drifting past him to the parking lot across the street. The restaurant’s warm lights reflected against the glass, turning the outside world into a dim, shifting mirror, yet the black SUV parked under the flickering streetlamp was still clearly visible. It hadn’t moved since they arrived.At first, I told myself I was being paranoid. It was just a car and maybe the driver was having a bad day and needed to park for a second. That’s possible..and that’s valid. Right?Noah was in the middle of explaining something about his job, something about a new project but his words blended into the soft jazz playing overhead.The SUV’s windows were too dark to see through.Plenty of people drove black SUVs. Plenty of people parked across from restaurants. But something about it felt wrong like a quiet pressure sitting at the back of my neck.Like someone was watching me.I glanced again. Still facing directly toward the restaurant.Sti

  • I Want Her Bare, Always   Chapter 73

    Jax Hazel stared at me like I just committed a criminal act. Not a small one— her brows were raised like I stolestole from a shopping mall and appeared with the same outfit.I swallowed, waiting for her to say something but all she did was gaze at me up and down. Her eyes followed my every move. She was quiet and something about the way she was calm was enough to make me feel uncomfortable."What?" I asked her. Without waiting for her to say a word, I turned to the full-length mirror and tilted a little to the side. I was taking a good look at myself.My nice fitted sweatpants. my oversized T shirt. My hair is a messy twist, comfortable and just simple. Hazel glanced at me and shook her head a couple of times. "It's a no Jaxen. it's definitely a no."“A no???” I repeated.She nodded, keeping her fake smile. “You heard me right.”“Don't tell me I don't look good in this outfit. The sweats are—”“Too comfortable for a date,” she told me. She raised both hands to the air like they’d

    Jax The bar wasn’t too crowded when we walked in, which was exactly what I needed. Not noise. Not chaos. Just something calm enough to let my thoughts breathe without swallowing me whole.Hazel walked ahead of me, her heels clicking lightly against the floor, her energy already filling the space like she owned it. I followed behind, slower, taking in the dim lighting, the soft music, the familiar scent of citrus and something sweet drifting from the counter.“This place is cute,” she said, turning slightly to look at me as she slid into a stool. “You’ve been hiding this from me?”“I didn’t hide it,” I replied, settling beside her. “I just didn’t think you’d care about mocktails.”Hazel raised an eyebrow, amused. “Excuse me? I care about anything that tastes good and doesn’t ruin my life the next morning.”I smiled faintly, grabbing the menu even though I already knew what I wanted. “That’s exactly why I like it here.”Before I could say anything else, I felt it… that shift in the air

    Charles I stepped into the room, my shoes soft against the polished floor, and froze for a moment at the sight of her. Nathalie was sitting near the window, the late afternoon light hitting her hair just enough to make it glow faintly. Her posture was rigid, her hands folded neatly in her lap, and the tension in her shoulders was something I felt in my chest before she even spoke.“Are you okay?” I asked, my voice low, almost cautious.She looked at me, and for a second, there was a flash of something unreadable in her eyes. “I… overheard your conversation on the phone,” she said quietly, her voice steady but firm. “And I don’t need your help. I’m not crazy, Charles.”I shook my head slowly, taking a careful step toward her. “I never said that,” I replied, my tone soft, coaxing. “I’m not saying you’re crazy. I’m saying… I’m trying to help. That’s all.”She shook her head, almost impatiently. “You don’t get it. I don’t need help.” Her voice had an edge now, sharper than before. “I jus

    Charles Dr. Fernandez has been talking for a while.I know that because his voice has that steady rhythm people use when they are trying to convince you of something you don’t agree with.I leaned back in my chair, arms folded, watching him without interrupting.“…and I think it’s important we consider additional support,” he said calmly, adjusting his glasses slightly as he looked at me.I didn’t respond immediately. I just stared at him.He cleared his throat lightly.“She needs more than just rest and medication,” he continued, his tone careful. “Nathalie has gone through years of trauma. What she’s dealing with now—”“A psychologist?” I cut in, raising an eyebrow slightly.He paused, almost like he was trying to catch his breath.“Yes,” he said after a second.I let out a quiet breath and shook my head slowly. “No.”He blinked. “No?” he repeated.“That’s not happening,” I said flatly.Dr. Fernandez leaned forward slightly.“Charles,” he said patiently, “this isn’t something you c

    JaxThe house didn’t feel like a house.It felt staged. Too clean. Too deliberate. Every surface looked chosen, every corner measured like someone had decided comfort was optional. Nothing was out of place, and that somehow made it worse. It was the kind of place meant to impress or intimidate, ne

    JaxThe blood wasn't on my hands.That was the first thing I thought of and I was really grateful for it. It would have made me absolutely terrified.The second was that I could still smell it.It clung to the air like a memory that refused to fade, sharp and metallic, mixing with cologne and gun s

That would be my advice to anyone else but tell me why I have just nodded my head and agreed to follow him.The moment my eyes opened from the short nap, I rubbed my eyes. “Are you done with what you needed to do?”“No. I

    JaxHe looked at me like he had no idea what I was asking. “Just walk,” he said without answering my own question. The stylist, a young woman in her thirties greeted us with a bright smile. “Welcome, Jax. I’m Eliana. Right this way.” How does she know my name?Who is she?Is she fucking him too?
