Arthur's povMason doesn't say anything, but he does move aside so she can walk in and she does.She stands awkwardly in the middle of the room, she doesn't know what to say. The guest room is neat, well arranged. A small smile tugs at her lips when she sees how organized Mason is . Does she start with an apology or ramble about how she likes having him around and how fun Mason is?.Or how Mason is basically driving her insane from how good he looks and smells.Mason breaks the silence. "You shouldn't be here, your husband can just come home and walk in here. He does that often.""Yeah, I know but I wanted—No, I needed to talk to you.""Go on then."Bella wants to ignore the way Mason sounds so cold, but still so attractive. The glasses are giving him the sexiest look she has ever seen. She needs to focus on why she's here rather th
Arthur's POV Two days after Bella’s sexy time with Mason and her not-so-sexy time with Gabriel, she has managed to avoid both men.They're out to ruin her.She knows Mason has only two more days to stay with them before he leaves. Mason hasn't approached her, called or texted her. She tries to ignore how it makes her feel, Mason is acting like Gabriel.She doesn't blame Mason for ignoring her though because she’s doing the exact same thing. She’s ignoring Mason and only waves at him as a sign of greeting whenever Gabriel is around so he doesn't notice that they have unspoken words to say.She doesn't want to admit it but she misses Mason. He's fun, someone she’s been able to talk to without ending up getting scolded.It's almost as though Mason is making things worse for her by looking absolutely breathtaking.Wearing those fitted leather pants and loose shirts, walking around shirtless and in just shorts, putting his hair up in a messy bun or ponytail and letting strands fall on his
Bella steps closer to the door, her head dropped forward as she peeks inside the bathroom to see Gabriel's standing figure. Gabriel has his head thrown back, washing his scalp, scrubbing gently with his fingers, the foam on his head slowly disappearing.Bella swallows, her eyes tracing down Gabriel's back and stops on the curve where his butt stops. Blood rushes to Bella's cheeks and her stomach swirls with something like heat. She gawks at her husband's butt, one she's never seen since they got married. His thighs, the way they're so firm, huge and strong. His thighs are two of Bella's combined and the thought makes Bella shut her eyes briefly to inhale the smell of Gabriel's apple body wash.She wants Gabriel to turn around so she can look at the other stuff she badly wants to see. Gabriel's body proportion is insane, his body is gorgeous, everything Bella ever fantasized about, and she wants to touch.The heavens must be on Bella's side because Gabriel turns

**—MY HUSBAND'S FRIEND—**Bella shuffles off Mason's lap, her head collides with the roof of the car and she doesn't have the time to let the pain settle in before dashing out of the car.She stares at her phone with wide eyes, contemplating on what to do.Mason steps out of the car, standing in front of her, aching to calm the younger down because it looks like she’d start hyperventilating soon."What is wrong with me? He said I should be back before ten and it's almost midnight.""Bella, calm down.""No no, please don't touch me." Bella says, slapping Mason's hands away.Okay?Mason winces at those words but manages to hide his expression."I'll take a cab home.""What? No, why would I let you do that when I can drive you home? Bella, I'm driving you home.""You keep forgetting that you're staying at our place! What do you think is gonna happen when we walk in together?""I'll park a few blocks away and you can go in. I'll come in later.""We both smell like alcohol. Mason, please—j
Arthur’s POV Bella walks out of the elevator and stops in her tracks when she sees Gabriel, who was also making his way into the elevator.Bella's grin instantly disappears, replaced with a frown.She walks into the elevator, knowing it's best not to step out, so she stays back as the elevator door shuts close."Where are you heading to?" Gabriel asks, typing away on his phone."Nowhere, I was heading home. Why are you here? You only come if you have a meeting with the book company, and you always tell me before you come. Do you need something?" The pitch of Bella's voice raises with every question, and for a moment, Gabriel looks like he might slap her quiet. But as always, the threat of violence is left hanging in the air, unfulfilled."Do I have to call you every time whenever I'm coming to my own building? I'm the landlord."Bella fidgets with her jacket and nods."Sorry." "It's almost seven, we'll have dinner together."'Oh God, please...no'Bella wants to say that, she really w
