FORREST
Is she fucking kidding me?
I shook my head, exhaling with a heavy groan.“I would never do that. Not in a million years. You have no fucking idea how much I want this more than my next breath.”
She eyed me for a few seconds, darkness of lust brewing in her eyes before she smiled at me that took my breath away.
“In bed. Now,” I ordered.
Megan stepped back until her feet reached the edge of the bed. She leisurely lied down, biting her bottom lip, glancing up at me with a searing gaze. Her invitation had me nearly knocked on my feet as the violent rush of lust pulsed in my blood.
Keeping my gaze on her, I kicked my shoes off, pulled my socks, and then my boxers followed.
“God, Forrest.” Her breathless words zipped arousal down my spine. She leisurely raked her hungry stare on my naked body to my throbbing and hard cock as if she couldn’t help herself.
Inspecting.
Admiring.

MEGAN I NEVER had in my experience been so consumed and exhausted, yet satisfied, until tonight. The continued banging of the headboard against the wall, the squeaking of the bed, his grunt, and the screams from me were like an orchestra in my entire apartment. I woke up with his teasing fingers, drawing circles below my abdomen with each touch scorching my skin. Still yawning, I grabbed his magnificent semi-erect cock, rewarding me a satisfied groan. I took my time stroking his length even it was instantly hard as a rock in my palm. The last thing I knew, I was sucking him, and he was cursing and thrusting his hips into my mouth. I didn’t go down on man, but it didn’t seem to bother me with Forrest. Besides, I’d been dreaming this moment with him, and this was way better than my imagination. I was instantly wet. And he didn’t disappoint me—it was a huge turn-on to see him losing himself to me as I pleasured him with my mouth.
MEGAN “YOU OKAY?” I jolted to sit, holding my hand against my chest to his worried voice. I took a deep breath before I fluttered my eyes open. “You scare me.” “I’m sorry. I thought you heard me coming. You’re staring off into space. Something wrong?” “Just...thinking,” Shaking my head, I lied. “I just went out to buy breakfast for us.” He kissed the top of my head. “God, woman, what have you been eating? You don’t even have coffee in your kitchen.” He sat down beside me, placing down a bag of probably baked goods and two cups of coffee on the table. The aroma alone had my stomach grumbled in hunger. “Had shitty weeks,” I muttered, feeling relief that he came back. I instantly felt the fluttery feeling in my stomach. “We all were.” He kissed me on my forehead again, then grabbed a cup and offered it to me. “Drink this.” I took it and faced him. He looked devastatingly handsome with a five o’
FORREST SOMETHING WAS off in the air as soon as I walked into Kyland’s office. He was wearing a knowing grin on his face. I could feel in my bones that this call had nothing to do with me turning down the manager’s position. “Why am I here?” I slumped into the couch, resting my arms on the backrest. I thought playing cool would do the trick, just like how I dealt with them when they grilled Megan last weekend. “I want you to convince Megan to take my position.” Kyland didn’t look at me, keeping himself busy stacking papers into the folder. “I’m gonna work at home. Bianca is catching a cold. I have to babysit Kelly.” “Can I help?” “Nah. I got it covered. Just do what I ask you to do.” Sure, man. As if Megan would listen to me. If they couldn’t convince her, they thought I could? “She will take it when she feels the job is right for her.” “So you two are a thing, huh?” Of course, it was only a matter of time before
FORREST IT TOOK an effort to calm myself before I hit the dial button. He picked up right away. “He will be at the Duncan Hotel this weekend. You happen not to be associated with this visit, have you?” “I’d been waiting for this moment since I found out he’d been asking someone to dig into our past, Alan. Don’t stop me now, and it’s not that I will allow you to stop me if you will ever try.” “He’s a twisted bastard, Forrest. You know it,” he said firmly. He must be fuming right now. My temper boiled over. “Is there something you are not telling me? I don’t like surprises, Alan. You better tell me now before I face him.” “I watched you grow up, son. I know this revenge plot you’ve been planning for years would not do any good for you. You have money, and damn it, Forrest, I don’t get it why you have to work in the nightclub when you’re developing a multi-million dollar tech.” “Isn’t it the idea of keeping the low
MEGAN MY POSSESSIVENESS had me immensely stunned. I’d never done this before, but this bitch made my blood boil with jealousy. Jealousy? Well, that was definitely new. What shocked me the most was Forrest. I got a different response when I thought he would groan in disapproval or push me back. Instead, he kissed me back, wrapped his arms around my waist, and kissed me possessively, hungrily, and fiercely not caring what would his co-workers or these customers think about him. It was a kiss that made my toes curl. It was a kiss of possession, telling everyone he was off the hook, and I was pleased with that. Whistles and applause broke us apart. Still catching my breath, I met his dark gaze. It was filled with lust that burned through me and twinkled with amusement as we stared in silence. “Sorry about that,” I said guiltily. His eyes narrowed. “You’re sorry about that?” “I mean, this is not your style.” “I like h
FORREST “YOU’RE NOT going to see him, Forrest,” Meadow demanded, pinning me with a pointed stare. Knowing that my mother was around, I flexed my jaw hard as I tried not to lose my temper. I didn’t even have any fucking idea why she was here in my penthouse with my mother when I was clear with my order the last time we spoke about Mama’s safety. “What? Are you just gonna stare at me like that?”Unbelievable! “No.” I squeezed my eyes shut and dug my teeth against my bottom lip as rage radiated off of me. “Listen to me very carefully, Meadow. You don’t get to decide for me. Not anymore. It’s my life, my decisions, and not yours. We’ve been there once, and you decided to leave me instead. Where were you when I needed you? When I was had some shitty days alone. You don’t know anything about me anymore. People get to change for almost six years, Meadow. Just like you said, you can’t wait for that long.” Her expre
FORREST I GOT back to the penthouse. My mother and Meadow were engaged in a serious conversation in the living room. “Mama, can we talk?” I threw Meadow a glare, hoping she would not try to be so dumb as not to get the message. “Alone, please?” Scowling, Meadow stomped upstairs. I sat beside Mama once Meadow was out of sight. I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her into my arms. “How are you feeling?” I asked her when my anger wore off. I missed her terribly, but I couldn’t risk her being with me. I had to sacrifice something for us when she would be safe in return. “I’m good. You worry too much when I should be the one worrying about your suicide mission.” I kissed the top of her head. I knew she was right from the start—it was a suicide, but I wanted answers. Once this was over, I knew everything we sacrificed for would pay off. All I needed was closure and a new life. After what happ
MEGAN I WOKE up to an unfamiliar room with the feeling of the hangover of being roofied. I wished I could pluck the thought off of what happened last night. Ignoring the tightness in my throat, I got up from the bed. This wasn’t the first time I’d hurt anyway. I was aware that we were utterly wrong for each other. If I made it through it the last time, hell, I definitely would the second time. I had to put a stop to whatever short fling I had with Forrest before it got deeper. That was the smartest thing to do. How twisted was that? Because I knew I was lying. It still freaking hurt. A soft knock and Mom’s voice calling my name behind the door interrupted me from my deep musing. “Come in.” I was still sitting on the bed when the door swung open. “Good morning, Meggie. I thought you might need these.” Mom was done with the shower and already in her robe. She had a few clothes folded and undergarments in her hands and on t
