LOGIN[Alma]That kiss...It hadn't even lasted two seconds, yet the memory of it seemed to have settled into every part of me. The brief warmth of his lips, the way my body had gone completely still, and how quickly he'd pulled away, leaving me standing there trying to understand what had just happened.My fingers moved instinctively towards my mouth.I touched my lower lip, lightly tracing the spot where his lips had met mine. My hand slowly curled at my side as I stared at the space in front of me.Every single moment I'd spent trying to avoid this man suddenly felt like it had been washed straight down the drain.He shouldn't be that close to me. He shouldn't have his arms wrapped around me, and most certainly, he shouldn't have his lips on mine.But I'd let it happen.I'd stood there and let him pull me into his arms and kiss me without putting up the slightest resistance. And the worst part?I wished he hadn't stopped so quickly.I wished this hadn't been some emergency that required
[Alma]I watched Zevyn's expression change almost instantly. His brows drew together, forming a deep frown as he listened to whoever was on the other end of the call. Whatever the person was telling him, it clearly wasn't good. His fingers tightened around the phone, and his jaw shifted as he listened without interrupting."Fuck!" he suddenly growled.He pulled the phone away from his ear, already moving towards his desk. His free hand reached for his car keys, and he snatched them up before turning back towards the phone."Which hospital? Send it to me right now."He ended the call and dropped the phone slightly, his attention shifting to the other one lying on his desk."Is something wrong?" I asked, stepping toward him.He grabbed his second phone, but halted halfway through his movement. For a brief moment, he stood there, almost as though he'd forgotten I was still in the room. Then he turned to face me, his expression still tight with worry."My friend had an accident. I need t
[Zevyn]My fingers gradually slowed before coming to a complete stop on the keyboard.I let out a quiet breath, my jaw shifting as I fought the urge to keep pretending I was busy. Then, slowly, I lifted my eyes from the screen and looked at the woman standing just in front of the door. My throat bobbed the instant our eyes met.Her hair was gathered into a messy bun, with a few loose strands framing her face. She was dressed in that pink robe, its collar loosely folded around her neck, and her lower lip was caught between her teeth. Her fingers seemed to be holding the robe together as she stood there, looking almost as though she wasn't entirely sure what to do with herself. I stared at her green eyes.Those fucking eyes she'd denied me the pleasure of looking into for far too long."Hi," Alma said, her voice barely above a whisper.My brows knitted together. I tilted my head slightly, studying her face.Hi?Was she being fucking serious right now?After days of avoiding me, taking
[Zevyn]I shouldn't be caring about her this much.I shouldn't be worried about the fact that she'd suddenly felt the need to stay away from me over the past week. And it certainly shouldn't be the reason I was sitting right in front of my laptop, staring at a pile of emails I was supposed to attend to, without having the slightest interest in reading a single one.She is just bait.A woman who had somehow, almost magically, become the reason I could close my eyes and get some fucking sleep. And, most importantly, the woman I needed to get Henry out of hiding.That was all she should ever be to me.Nothing more.But no matter how many times I reminded myself of that, I couldn't seem to push the growing irritation aside. The way she'd been avoiding me over the past week had become fucking alarming, and I was beginning to lose my patience trying to figure out what had suddenly changed.I'd tried to think back over every conversation we'd had, every interaction, every little thing I migh
[Alma]"How is he supposed to stay if I leave for two whole days?" I mumbled under my breath.I stared at myself for what felt like forever, trying to gather enough courage to walk out of the room. Eventually, I smoothed the robe over my body, running my palms down the fabric and brushing away an invisible crease. I adjusted the knot around my waist, took another breath, and finally turned towards the door.My fingers closed around the handle.For a moment, I hesitated.Then I pulled it open and stepped into the hallway.The moment I started walking, each step suddenly felt heavier than the last. I knew exactly where I was going, and I knew exactly what I needed to tell him. I'd repeated the words in my head so many times that I could practically hear myself saying them."I'll be gone for two days. I hope that's not a problem.""Can you stay by yourself? How will you be able to sleep?""If there's no way out, maybe I would cancel with Sienna."I shook my head as the last thought crept
[Alma]Two days later...I bit down on the inside of my cheek as I stood by the window, staring outside without really seeing anything. My eyes followed the movement of a few leaves swaying in the breeze, but my mind was somewhere else entirely. I had been standing there for several minutes, and I still hadn't found the courage to do the one thing I'd been thinking about since morning.Sienna's birthday.This camping trip should have been exactly what I'd been looking forward to over the past few weeks. A chance to get away from Zevyn, even if only for a day or two. A chance to spend some time with my friends without having to constantly remind myself that the man I was desperately trying to get over was somewhere in the same house.I wasn't talking about leaving permanently. I wasn't planning to disappear or never come back. I just wanted a few days away from him, away from his voice, his scent, his ridiculously handsome face, and those little things he kept doing that made forgettin
[Zevyn]My jaw clenched so hard I knew my teeth would crack if I didn't let go."Urghh." The woman on her knees moaned, her head bumping harder against my cock to impress me— or perhaps make me increase her pay, I couldn't care less.I was getting bored, but I needed her to keep going, I needed to
[Alma] "It happens on my terms." I blinked. Hard. My heartbeat thudded loudly in my chest as I stared at the man in front of me, struggling to focus on what he just said. My breath came out thinner than I wanted as I held it together, forcing my shoulders to stay relaxed even when everything in
[Alma]"Be there in an hour." That was all I heard before the line went dead. My heart thumped so loudly in my chest, I'm sure the cab driver could hear it.My hand trembled as I gripped my phone like a lifeline, my eyes fixed directly on the screen.If he said he'll send an address, then he will..
[Alma]Wrong.Wrong.Wrong.The words echoed in my head relentlessly as I knelt there—shameless—staring up at a stranger’s cock like I wasn’t fucking married.I should leave.Stand up and run as far as I could.This was wrong.I can’t be doing this—But my body wouldn’t listen.It felt like my mind
