LOGINEASTON CARTER Olive couldn't make it to the meeting with my brother because of work, so she called Summer yesterday to apologize. I was here for both of us.“How does one plan a surprise party for billionaires?” Summer complained from her position on the couch, my brother's lap to be precise.I blinked at her. “I don't understand why you're so worried. They will love anything we prepare, you know this.”This wasn't exactly our first rodeo when it comes to preparing a surprise party for our parents. Given her relationship with me, Summer was always a part of the planning and executing team but most importantly, she used to be the messenger between my brother and I. Granted that it had been a while since we did something like this, it still didn't explain her nervousness.“Yeah but I wasn't their daughter in law then. That changes everything.”I glanced at Ethan to see if he understood what was going on, he shook his head in response.“It's about making a good impression, big oafs,” s
OLIVE BECKETT There was no other soul around here but us and no light either apart from the one coming from streetlights in a distance, I had checked.I went on my toes and kissed him. His lips tasted like salt and his own taste mixed together, I loved it.I heard the wet shirt fall with a thud, Easton wrapped his hand around my waist and took over the kiss.Moaning, I clung harder, rubbing my body against shamelessly his hard cool one. He groaned and proceeded to fuck my mouth with his tongue. Whimpering, I let him, goading him on with little licks.Panting, he pulled back and followed slightly with a whimper.“Fuck sweetheart,” he growled, his thumb tracing my bottom lip. “We're outside, wait for moment and I will give you what you want at home.”I shook my head and took his finger into my mouth. I couldn't see his face clearly but his shiver told me everything I needed to know.He wanted this, just as bad as I did.I spoke around his thumb. “Please? No one is here.”Easton chided
OLIVE BECKETT Easton had taken his convertible out, the top was rolled in, my hair flew wildly in the wind as he drove.It was a very fun way to let go of the stress of the day.My hand was firmly placed in his, I turned to smile at him.“Do you want to get anything?” He glanced at me as he asked.“There's an ice cream place nearby that I overheard a nurse talking about,” I replied, watching a smile grow on his face. “I would like to sample their ice cream. Maybe it might have the potential to join my collection.”“Your ever growing collection,” he teased.I laughed, directing him quietly till we reached the place. It wasn't a shop or stall but more of a stationary truck but according to the nurse, they had really good flavors plus their location near the sea worked really well in their favor.“I haven't had ice cream from the truck in ages,” Easton commented as the car came to a stop. Luckily, there wasn't anyone buying at the moment.“See? I always know the good spots.”The lady in
OLIVE BECKETT Somehow, I found myself by the poolside. Jess's solemn face and immediate hug made it clear that our argument had been loud.“Here,” Summer pressed a glass filled with blue liquid into my hand. “I'm not really much of a bartender but I can whip up a mean cocktail. Your mini bar here is really impressive.”I sniffed. “Thank you.”They led me to a lounge chair and sat me down. “I'm so hurt and angry right now. Why is he there behaving like I'm overreacting?”“Babe,” Summer sighed. “You freaked out during that event. It was really bad babe, Easton asked us to look through the CCTV footage of the night to see if anything had triggered it. It really disturbed him that you were obviously hurting and he didn't know what was causing it.”“I was going to tell him Summer, he should have waited,” I sniffed again, blinking to get the annoying tears out of the way of my vision. “Calling a private investigator was going to far and I don't know how to move pass that.”“Olive, if the
OLIVE BECKETT “I got loads of chicken wings, glazed donuts from that place we love and some roasted peanuts just because,” Jess announced as she walked in. I had sent her the code for the door the day before.I laughed and helped her with the bags. “Hey Easton,” she waved. “Hi Summer.”“Hello darling,” Summer waved back and Easton smiled at her in response then quickly swapped one of the cards in front of him.I winked at him and he chuckled in return.“What?” Summer glared at him. “He swapped a card, didn't he?”“I have no idea what you're talking about.”Giggling, I followed Jess into the kitchen before Summer could grill me. Ethan couldn't make it because he had a meeting as usual and while I liked Easton's friends, I just wanted it to be a small thing with my favorite people.Jess headed straight to the fridge and opened it with so much force, I thought the doors would come off.“Oh!! I knew there was something about you the moment I met you,” she gushed, pulling out a huge buck
EASTON CARTER I glared at the suitcase one last time before ringing the god-damned doorbell. It wasn't the suitcase’s fault or the money inside but, it was very much the fault of the people I was about to meet that I was in a bad mood this morning.The door opened and Bobby grimaced the moment he laid eyes on me. He tried to do a pathetic smile but neither his face nor I were buying it.“Easton, good morning. What brought you all the way here this early?”I was even surprised he opened the door. It was still dark and I wanted to get this over with, I also didn't want anybody taking pictures of me in front of these greedy people's house.Yesterday, Olive and I were lucky. I didn't want to push that luck.“Move. I have a few things to say to your family.”He frowned, “Easton, it's really early and everyone is asleep. You can come back…”“I'm guessing you're not a mad person Robert,” I interrupted again, enjoying the annoyed twitch of his lips. “Are you trying to tell me you were smilin
EASTON CARTER What the fuck was he doing here?“Ah, I didn't think you would come. I thought you were hiding out here.”What did he mean?“What do you mean?”He pointed at the men Coach and Ronnie were chatting with.“I came for business. Of course, you wouldn't understand what that means since al
OLIVE BECKETT I am scared of heights, yet here I am boarding a plane to Jersey because of a man. Because of my fake fiancé, might I add.This is stupid, which is what I've been saying for the past two hours.I called in sick at work, lied to my fucking boss, and pressured Ronnie to book a flight t
OLIVE BECKETT I used to think I was talented at so many things. But now I just know I'm not—not in the least, because tell me why I failed terribly at a hike that I thought would go smoothly.I watched Easton pull off his hiking shoes and toss them to the back of the car. He gracefully got in and
EASTON CARTER I placed a kiss on the top of her head, carefully inhaling her scent. I love her scent—she smells so beautiful that I had to sneak a whiff of her shower soap.Guilty as charged.The show took a while until it was over. We both took a few pictures, exactly as we planned. Like we were i
