Charlotte's POV
I felt slightly uncomfortable with both David and Alex in my apartment, there was just some kind of tension I couldn’t quite put my finger on. I hadn’t seen David much since my dream all those years ago, I put distance between us and only went to see Jill when he wasn't home.Seeing him here and now pushes all of those memories back into my head and I can’t seem to stop imagining different scenarios of him touching me, fucking me, span--
“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?” My brain screamed. “Your soon to be ex husband is sitting right in front of you with his COUSIN and you’re day dreaming about David bending you over your kitchen table and spanking you?” God, it’s not like I was thinking about these things on purpose. I just- Alex starts speaking interrupting my inner monologue, snapping me out of my day dream and argument with myself. “Well now that everyone isCharlotte's POV This goes on for weeks, just talking and spending time together. Until one day I get a visit from someone at my job.When Casey enters the back room to tell me there's someone here looking for me it feels like my heart drops into my stomach. I've always been the worst at jumping to conclusions and completely overreacting, but it seems like in this case I wasn't to far off. Coming into the front office I see a man dressed in a nice suit holding an envelope.Can I help you?” I ask.“Are you Charlotte Prescott?”“Yes.”“Can I see some identification, please?”I frown. “What’s this about?” I go to the window to ask Casey to get my purse and retrieve my wallet and handing the man my ID.“Sign here, please.” He points to the signatory line.I sign and he hands me over the envelope and leaves.I tear the envelope open and pull out the document. Divorce papers. 
charlotte's POV Shit shit shit shit shit, I’m in bed with David. Why am I naked? What happened last night? I vaguely remember opening a second bottle, talking about our dreams of what our lives were suppose to be.. OH MY GOD, I told him about my dream with him. I gotta go. I need to be gone before he wakes up and hopefully he doesn’t remember anything from last night. Carefully picking up his arm and sliding out of bed I take off towards the bathroom in need of a hot shower and time to think. How could this of happened? And why did I want so badly to remember it.. the shower door slid open, and I felt him slide in behind me. “W-whats happening right now David?” I asked. “What’s happening is something that I’ve wanted to do for longer than I should have.” He growls the last part as his warm mouth lands on mine. The kiss isn’t soft
David's pov I finally got everything I wanted, I can’t tell you how good it felt to feel Charlotte beneath me. I know I’m rolling the dice with my life, wagering that I can steal enough of the her before this swallows me whole. I’ve loved her from a distance successfully for years, despite watching Alex tear her apart with being unfaithful. I was battling a war within myself of wether or not I could kill him for hurting her. Yeah, I’ve battled angry seas successfully until last night. This is a new kind of storm—the one inside me is for Charlotte. And I can't battle it anymore, I lost. Hell, I couldn’t even put up a decent fight against this.. this obsession. It swells and grows more turbulent by the minute. I’m obsessed with her soft voice, her big green eyes that feel like they stare into my soul. Her long blonde hair that feels so fucking good wrapped around my fist. The addiction is out of control now, I’ve tasted the forbidden fruit and I’ll stop a
Charlotte's POV I don’t think I’ve ever dressed faster in my life, after I came down from the high of my orgasm in the shower I bolted. I can’t handle the feelings that comes along with this, what we did is wrong no matter how much my body longs for it to happen again. That afternoon I tried sneaking back into my apartment with no such luck. The minute I hit the top of the stairs his door opened, but what I saw couldn’t prepare me for how I would feel. I saw David first, saw the surprise and regret written all over his face. The cool spring air blew my hair around, and I looked up at the sky as if to shun the universe for dropping this bomb on me. Perhaps, I got my response because thunder rumbled in the distance. Jill. With her arms wrapped around David’s neck, clinging to him like he was her life line. My head was pounding, my eyes were teary, My ears were beating, my mouth was watering, my hands were trembling, my knees were shaking and my
I'd expertly avoiding anything having to do with David, staying out until he was gone for work. Not leaving my apartment while he was home and dodging his calls at every turn. I didn't need another excuse or some bullshit lie from a man trying to placate me. I could deal with the hurt and the betrayal, what I couldn't deal with was the fact that I let myself fall in love with another man who absolutely shattered my heart. I needed to start looking out for me and with that meant a new start. Alex and I communicated through lawyers, and finally settled our divorce. Leaving the marriage with everything I came in with, I wanted absolutely nothing that he had or anything that he offered to me. Starting over somewhere new with entirely no family was the hardest thing I've ever done. The last full day in Jacksonville was spent packing up my apartment and completely hiding from David. I hired a moving team and paid extra for faster progress, moving everything while h
6 years later Charlotte's POV Life was hard, and trying to be okay was even harder. It wasn't my finest hour when I ran from Jacksonville, from David. But I felt it in my heart that I couldn't handle what waited for me there. I couldn't go back, and In saying that I never told David about the pregnancy. Honestly, I never told anyone the truth. My family thinks that it was a one night stand and I just needed a fresh start away from Alex and that's why I moved. Technically most of that is true, David and I only spent that night and morning together so I wasn't full on lying to them about the one night stand line. But When I receive a call from my mother my heart dropped into my stomach. I knew aunt Lydia was sick but I really thought she would make it longer than she did. It had been two years since I stepped foot anywhere near where I used to call home. But I knew I had to go back and be there for her funeral, I w
Charlotte's POV The funeral was exceptionally beautiful, and I was just so happy to be surrounded by my family and love. I'd felt so alone over the last two years it felt good to be with them, Even in these circumstances. Everyone was meeting back at my mothers house just to spend time together and talk about our aunt. But heading back there to the house I got this sinking feeling in my stomach, something is wrong. Something bad is about to happen. I thought I would have enough luck to get through these two weeks unscathed. Looking back, I really shouldn’t have thought that. I should have known that luck wouldn’t be on my side, not when it comes to him. That despite it being a large town, we’d run into each other at exactly the right time, in exactly the right second.That’s just how it works with us.I feel him before I see him, the former familiar sensation returning strong. I wasn’t intentionally l
Charlotte's POV The minute I hear his footsteps running in behind me yelling for grandma I know I'm absolutely fucked. When David's gaze drifts past me I can see the minute he figures it out, his face falls and I can see the confusion in his eyes. Before he even gets a word out Alex starts speaking. "Char, hey. We just wanted to stop by and see if you needed anything and I really wanted to talk to you about some stuff." Good god, Alex hasn't even questioned who the little boy is but I know it's com- "uh, and who is this?" Alex asks. Staring daggers at me. What the fuck for I have no idea. He has no right to be here or to be questioning me, in over six years he's never tried to contact me even once. And just as I'm about to open my mouth and tell him exactly that Killian runs over to me, Grabbing onto my hand."Mommy mommy mommy, grandma said we could have ice cream for desert if that's okay with you?" I could see the questio
