I stripped off my clothes and let them fall in a heap on the bedroom floor, as I headed barefoot into the bathroom. I reached for my favorite lavender bubble bath and poured a generous amount under the running water. Tonight, I wasn’t settling for the regular bath, I wanted to use the jacuzzi. I connected my phone to the Bluetooth speaker, hit play on my favorite long-bath playlist—slow R&B, sultry voices, a bass that hummed low and steady. I went in slowly, as the water swallowed me inch by in

    I blinked, my heart skipping a beat as Victoria's sharp voice cut through the air like a knife. "This doesn’t look like the bathroom, does it? So what are you doing here?" She stood there, arms crossed tightly over her chest, her eyes narrowing into slits.I rose slowly from the floor, clutching my purse a little too tightly. My mind raced, but I kept my face calm, almost playful. "I’m sorry if I trespassed or anything. The door was open, and I just wanted to check it out. Didn’t mean to go against any rule or something," I said, my tone light and teasing, like we were sharing some inside joke. But inside, my pulse was hammering—I'd just slipped that mysterious photo into my purse, and the last thing I needed was her catching on.Her heels clicked sharply against the polished floor as she approached me, each step deliberate, until she was right in front of me, her perfume—a heavy, floral scent, overwhelming me. "I really don’t know the reason why Ethan brought you here, nor do I care

    Standing there in the dimly lit hallway, my heart still pounding from the whirlwind of emotions that had just swept through me. Adrian's chuckle echoed lightly, but it didn't ease the tension coiling in my chest. "Right! You definitely are," he said, his laughter bubbling up like he thought my words were just playful banter. But I wasn't joking. Not even close. "I'm sorry for all that. I didn't think my mom was gonna come at you like that. I was just trying to mess with Ethan, but that escalated pretty fast. For real, I'm sorry."I sighed, feeling the weight of the day pressing down on me. "Look, Adrian, honestly, I don't give a shit about whatever drama is going on between you and your brother, nor do I want to get involved in your family drama. I'm only here because Ethan pleaded with me to, and also, I wouldn't have agreed to it if I didn't come by your place and find another woman there." The words tumbled out in a rush, as I exhaled heavily, finally releasing all that has been ea

  • My boss’s brother wants me and so does my husband    Veiled insults

    “Hey, Mom,” Adrian said, ignoring Ethan completely as he strolled over to where Victoria sat at the head of the table. He leaned down and kissed her cheek, that devastating smile of his curving slow and sure, like he owned the room and everyone in it.Victoria arched a perfectly sculpted brow. “You really had to make an appearance, didn’t you, Adrian?”He chuckled low, and walked past her without another word. He dropped into the seat beside Alexa, but his gaze never once left mine. Those dark eyes locked on, intense and unblinking, pulling at something deep inside me that I refused to name.“Well, I guess I just had to,” he drawled, settling back like he hadn’t just set the whole table on edge. “Anyway, what did I miss?”Alexa didn’t wait. She launched herself at him with a delighted laugh, wrapping her arm around his like she belonged there, leaning in close to press a kiss on his lips. Adrian smiled against her lips and kissed her back, his hand rising to grip the back of her neck

  • My boss’s brother wants me and so does my husband    Emerald dress

    I pulled out the dress, and the breath caught in my throat. The emerald green gown shimmered under the soft light like liquid silk kissed by moonlight. It has tiny crystals scattered across the bodice which caught every flicker, subtle as starlight on still water—elegant, never gaudy. It was paired with a sleek black heels laced in delicate emerald ribbons that would wrap up my calves, it felt almost too perfect. I held it against my body, turning slowly, and a rush of warmth flooded my cheeks. It wasn’t just beautiful, it looked like it was made for me, as if the designer had traced my curves in a dream and brought them to life.I couldn’t help the smile tugging at my lips. Grabbing my phone, I typed quickly. “I just got the package. I love it. Although it wasn’t necessary. See you at 6pm.” Send. The little whoosh sound made my stomach flutter. Then I folded the gown back into its box and carried it to my bedroom like it was made of glass.Since I was gonna be home all day, I decided

  • My boss’s brother wants me and so does my husband    Rekindled flames

    Uh hi, I’m Lena. Sorry—uh, I’m here to see Adrian. Is he in? The words stumbled out of me, scattered and mumbled, my pulse hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat. The woman who opened the door gave me a slow, deliberate look from my head to my toe, as she chewed the gum loudly. She rolled it around one long finger, her eyes narrowing as if I were something stuck to the bottom of her designer heel. “Adrian’s not here,” she said, voice clipped and final, like she was already reaching for the door handle to end this conversation before it began. “But you can drop a message and I’ll let him know when he gets back.” I couldn’t stop staring. She was breathtaking, blonde waves tumbling past her shoulders, a body that looked like it was sculpted by someone who charged by the hour, the silk gown clinging to every curve like it had been poured on her. Her long legs, and the diamonds at her neck, wrist, and fingers caught the light. She looked like someone who had just walked out o

    I chuckled lightly, staring at Maya with genuine surprise sparkling in my eyes. “You did? Now that’s new!” I said, the laughter bubbling up from my chest as she joined in.“Well, let’s just say he reached out to me for a little help,” she admitted, a proud grin tugging at her lips. “I suggested a few things, nothing major, and he went with the date idea. Although I have to admit, it was kind of cute watching him get all hopeful.”I tilted my head, still processing. “Why didn’t you say no, though? You know everything about us. I’m sure he was shocked you even agreed to help him out.”Maya shrugged one shoulder, rising from the edge of the bed. “I wasn’t in the mood to cuss him out that day, honestly. And let’s be real, the dinner date wasn’t going to magically change your mind, so telling him that flat-out would’ve been cruel, even if I don’t usually care about being nice. I figured, if he believes it’ll work, who am I to crush that dream before he even tries?” She gestured toward the
