Jacob

The shower scalded my skin, yet his scent lingered, taunting me. Reminding me of the one thing I wanted, but fate wouldn’t let me have.

Him.

Daniel.

Steam curled around my shoulders like possessive arms, the memory of his touch still searing into my flesh.

I could still taste him… tequila and minty gum, the metallic tang of my blood where he’d bitten my lip too hard.

The water turned my skin lobster-red, but no amount of heat could purge him from my pores.

I scrubbed my thighs raw with a loofah, the soap stinging the bruises from his teeth marks.

The abrasive fibers scraped over the crescent-shaped indents, each pass sending a jolt of pain-pleasure up my spine.

His marks. His claims. I was beginning to love how my body throbbed at the memory.

The mirror fogged over, thankfully concealing the damage to my neck. I didn’t want to see the marks of his passion… the purpling blooms that screamed “Jake Hale belongs to Daniel Cobbs.”

“Fuck."

I threw the loofah with the soap embe

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 94

    DanielLife has this fucked-up way of spinning on a dime. One second, you're living a lie, and the next, reality slaps you in the face so hard you see stars. And right now? I was fucking blind.Jacob stood in front of me, his body rigid, his eyes avoiding mine like I was something he needed to scrub off his skin. The air between us was thick with words we couldn’t speak… every stolen touch, every whispered promise, every fucking time he had moaned my name like it was the only word he knew. And now? Now he was telling me it was over. Done, like it never happened. Like we never happened.I watched him, hoping he'd say something to change the story… anything. A hesitation. A flicker of doubt. A sign that he was just as torn apart as I was. But what came out of his mouth was a punch to the gut. “We have to end this," he murmured, his voice firm but shaky. “I'm marrying Nathan in a few weeks. I'm in love with him."Bullshit.Those words sliced through me like a hot knife throu

    JacobI came to lay beside Nathan’s form on the bed, his body warm and tranquil in deep slumber, the rhythmic pulse of his breaths pervading the room’s silence. He looked peaceful and serene.But serenity was an illusion. Anxiety gnawed at me, a torment that tightened my chest and parched my throat. How could I lay there, pretending to be someone I wasn’t, with the truth I harbored festering like a toxic secret? The weight of my deception pressed down on me, suffocating in its persistence. Every breath I took felt stolen, every moment of peace undeserved. Nathan slept soundly, his features softened by dreams I could never share… dreams untainted by the rot festering inside me. I moved cautiously, trying not to wake him from his sleep, yet even this slight shift felt treacherous. The mattress creaked beneath me, a quiet betrayal. He deserved so much better, someone gentle, someone unblemished…anyone but the wreck I had become, especially not because of someone like Daniel. Th

    JacobIt was yet another night with him after I’d lied to Nathan that I had school projects piled up and I needed to head to my apartment for a while. The rain whispered sweet nothings against the windows of Daniel's apartment, a gentle serenade that should've been calming. But the air was thick with tension, not tranquility. His arm lay across my waist, his warm breath tickling the back of my neck, and every part of me was torn between desire and dread.I was falling for him again.All these times running back into his arm… I was falling back in love?The revelation crashed over me like a stormy wave… comforting in its familiarity, yet terrifying in its potential to drown me.Daniel stirred behind me, his fingertips tracing tantalizing patterns along my hipbone. "You're all wound up," he murmured, his mouth grazing my shoulder.I gulped. "Just lost in thought.""What are you thinking?"“How you broke me before. How I swore you'd never be able to touch me like this again. How all th

    JacobI’d been in the shower for hours now, and yet my skin had refused to peel off my bones.Nathan was going on about his day, thinking, believing that I was that innocent young boy he’d met at the campus years ago. That I was that boy he’d fallen in love with. The thought of how I’d betrayed him, and how he would react if and when I finally decide to tell him the truth, sent chills down my spine.So this hot shower was a part of the punishment I’d laid out for myself. Maybe if it did its job, if it peeled off my skin, then maybe that would make things easier… better. Maybe that would keep Daniel away… from me.Even while in the shower, all I could think was how his lips always claimed mine, and how he would kiss every part of my body, like he was memorizing the curves and patterns.Just in case I ran and never came back to him. There was always something that seemed to draw me back to him, even after I swore never to go back. Maybe it was the taste of danger, that felt like ho

    Jacob I took a deep breath as the hot shower steamed around me. The water was almost scalding, but that was just the way I wanted it… needed it.Maybe if it burned enough, it would sear away the filth clinging to my skin, the guilt rotting me from the inside out. It didn’t do shit to clear my muddled thoughts, though. I leaned against the cold tiles, knees bent, letting the hot spray pelt my back like punishment. My skin turned red and raw, but the heat couldn’t touch the ice in my chest. Nothing could. I felt like the world’s biggest asshole. A cheater… A liar. And the worst part? I had no clue who the fuck to trust anymore… my damn self included. If I hadn’t come back here, if I had just accepted that I haven’t moved on from the past. If I hadn’t made Nathan believed, I was totally healed and ready to return to New York, the I wouldn’t be in this mess. And with the wedding to Nathan just around the corner, things only got worse for me. Invitations had been sent for
