“Oooo,” Callie giggles. “Tell me. Now.”

My face heats.

Not a fucking chance.

“It’s…just a guy. It’s nothing, really.”

Callie glances at Bella before smirking at me.

“Nothing like nothing, or nothing like you’re just casually fucking him?”

My face goes hot. Callie’s eyes instantly bulge.

“Hold up,” she breathes, staring at me.

“I was kidding, but, Oh my God, are you seriously sleeping with someone outside work?!”

My throat bobs up and down. “No.”

“Because if you went out and had sex with him and didn’t tell me, that’s fucked up.”

I frown. “Or, that’s private?”

“Dude, have you met me?”

I snort.

“Yeah, I’m going to need to see your phone.”

“Not happening.”

“C’mon!!”

“No!” I laugh nervously.

“You're my only friend apart from Bella”

I stare at her flatly. “Okay, that’s cheating.”

“Don’t worry,” Bella grins. “We won’t snoop. Just show us what’s had you staring at your phone like you don’t know what to say back.”

Jeus christo, these two they don't know when to give up.

“Hang on.”

  • Maddest Temptation    Chapter 173

    ROMAN The sound of the water crashing on the side of the boat wakes me up.As I inhale sea air.It’s still a bit dark but the sun is just coming. It’s so cold. I roll over and put my arm out for Ana. She's not in bed with me. She must be in the bathroom. I fall back off to sleep but wake again half an hour later, freezing. Fuck it’s so cold. Wind blows through the room and I frown and sit up.“Zolotse,” I call out. No answer, just the sound of the water still gently hitting both sides of the boat. It’s morning already. She must have left the door open.“Moya Roza, come back to bed. What are you doing?” I call again. Fuck, she’s angry at me for yesterday. No wonder, I carried on like a raving mad man last night. I don’t even remember going to bed. Christ, I didn’t even drink much. I slowly get out of bed and look down at myself. I’m still in the clothes I wore to the wedding. I must have been drunk out of my head. I never sleep with clothes on. I shake my head in

    ANA“No,” I scream. “I’m not putting up with this.” My angry eyes flick around to the guards who are all following me out to the road, unsure what to do.“Don’t make me come and get you!” Roman Furiously yells across the carpark. The people who are standing around all gasp. Oh god, this is embarrassing but I’m too mad to care.“Come and get me, asshole. I’m not putting up with this shit from you,” I yell as I continue to storm out toward the road.“You fucking guards are hopeless. Get her!” he yells at them. He turns and starts to sprint after me and I run. “Get the car,” I snap at Zoran and he nods, realising I have just run to get Roman’s mind off yelling and onto chasing me back.I continue to run at my own speed and Roman Catches up to me. “Where do you think you’re going, huh?” He staggers as if dizzy and I frown.“Away from you, asshole,” I snap at him. He must be drunker than I thought.“Get in the car. I’m taking you home,” he snaps“To Miami?” I scream, hurt

    ANA“Uhhh” Callie looks at me like I’ve lost my mind.“If Roman isn’t going to sleep in our room, then neither am I.”“And just where do you want this mattress?”“ Here of course, so I can hang out with you.” I stand, taking the plate with me. “I have some luggage to park.”++++++++++++++++++++++++Seven hours later we are at the wedding. I think I have been introduced to everyone on the planet who has a huge bank balance. I will never in a million years remember any of their names. A lot of people are from Bravta- related activities as Sasha and his new bride are Bravta old money.so the Bravta world is here too. Zoran, Dimitri and our security are just hanging outside. They ate the same meals as us but in another room they seem to be having their own party.So we are at a hall, silly me thinking the wedding was on a yacht, it's the after party, that's on the yacht.Well my bikinis are all parked up.We are seated at the table with Sergei, Ivan, Nikolai, Dominic and the girls

    ANABlinking, I see a plate filled with scrambled eggs, and avocado on some toast on the coffee table in front of me.And next to that, a plate with a sandwich. And two different flavors of bottled soda drinks.“I’d recommend skipping the breakfast,” Callie’s voice startles me from across the room and I jump.“Jesus.” She’s just sitting in one of the armchairs, phone in her lap. “Were you watching me sleep?”She lifts a shoulder. “Yep, Roman lost his shit when he found you sleeping on the couch.”That makes me sit up. “Rome was out here?”“Yeah, and I happened just arrive so we can start packing for the wedding on a yatch. Then he said I get to sit right the fuck here until she goes to bed.” She deepens her voice imitating Roman on the last part. “So it looks like I’m back on Ana Duty.”I don’t know how to feel.Him worrying about me means Well, it means something.That he cares about me,if he could just stop feeling guilty.At least a little. But him not willing to sit out

    ROMAN “That’s not enough of a problem?” “You were there.” He reminds me. “I was there when your wife got kidnapped and held at gunpoint because of you. I know what it feels like to fail the person you love.” He pauses and drags in a deep breath. “But what I don’t understand is why you’re getting drunk and sleeping alone. If that happened to my woman , you couldn’t drag me from her side.” “You still can’t,” I grumble. “Roman.” Sasha says my name like he knows I’m hiding something. I drop my head, the shame of it all weighing me down. “She flinched away from me.” And Goddamn, does that hurt to say out loud. “When?” “When she first woke up, after I nearly killed Dario.” I take a breath, reliving the moment for the hundredth time. “She was rolling over at the base of the stairs, and I reached for her. Because I didn’t think she should move. And she flinched.” “What does that mean?” “She’s scared of me!” I shout the admission out loud feeling so much shame and

    RUSSIA 3:54 GLORIA An email comes on from the mole I planted among Roman’s ranks of bodyguard saying. Confirmed dead, Dario Rice is dead.Ana Petrov is still alive. Well I always expected this from Dario, always wanting to be better than Roman, since Roman is mine I had to get rid of Dario.Couldn't do one simple task. And unto the next phase. ANA I open my mouth to say more, to ask him why he’s acting like I died, but he stops me. “Save your energy, Ana.” Just Ana. To undo the ties of the hospital gown, Roman has to let go of my shoulders. The loss makes me feel shaky, so I reach out with my good hand and place my palm against his chest. He freezes at my touch, and I don’t know why. I just know that I hate it. With my gown off, Roman pulls a loose t-shirt over my head, one I recognize as his. Then, he kneels before me, a pair of his sweatpants in hand. He slides them up my legs, pulling the elastic bottoms up over my feet. So the extra material bunches at my ankl
