The ride back to the house was uncomfortably silent, and the only sound that could be heard was the cars honking and the tip of his fingers tapping the steering wheel.We soon arrived at the estate, and the gate was opened. My tensed body slowly relaxed as he parked the car.I watched him get out of the car, and he wasted no time in opening the door to the mansion without glancing back.What did I do?That was the only thing I had in mind since I entered the elevator with him. I sighed, got out of the car, and slammed the door behind me while I rushed after him. The mansion was silent, and I assumed that there was no one home. I quickly walked up the stairs and opened the door.The room was empty, but I could hear the shower running, and I sighed, running my hand through my hair and closing the door behind me. I put my hair up in a bun and sat on the bed.I picked up my phone that was on the nightstand and saw two missed calls from Charlie."Shit," I cursed myself for not taking my ph
I groaned, turning my head to the other side and slowly opened my eyes. "Oh, god," I muttered under my breath and closed my eyes again."Good morning, beautiful," Jack sighed, and I raised a brow. "How long have you been watching me sleep?" I questioned with one eye open."A few minutes."I rolled my eyes and got up from the bed, heading towards the bathroom. I quickly lathered my toothbrush with toothpaste and brushed my teeth. As I was about to undress, Jack walked in, his brows raised high as he looked at me with my hands about to pull down my pants."Let's take a shower together.""Absolutely not.""You're my girlfriend.""Maybe I'll take that back if you do not exit the bathroom.""Okay! Okay. I'll leave."A slow smile spread on my lips as I watched his retreating back. I shook my head and turned to look at myself in the mirror. I frowned as I stared at my reflection."Does being Jack's girlfriend mean I won't be getting the fifteen grand he promised me?" I sighed. We need to tal
Sitting at the local diner at the fair, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease wash over me. As we stared at our plates, the clinking of silverware against porcelain was the only sound that broke the silence. Liam had finished eating his food and had his left arm wrapped around Bertha, while Bertha's eyes were on Jack as she slowly slurped her drink.Liam was buried in his phone, and from the corner of my eye, I could see he was scrolling through Instagram with a mischievous grin on his face. I couldn't help but glance over at Jack, who sat across from me, his jaw clenched and his eyes narrowed. He hated his brother, and it was no secret.Liam, oblivious to Jack's glare, couldn't contain his laughter as he tapped his phone's screen. "Check this out, guys!" he exclaimed, pushing the phone toward the center of the table. It was a post. A photo of Jack and me kissing.My breath hitched as I looked at the background; it was from Frederick's sex house."Oh, brother..." Liam laughed as
We were seated on his bed, and I nervously picked at the skin on my thumbs. I was waiting for him to say something, but he only stared at his hands.There was no rush; I will wait.He sighed and ran his trembling hand through his tousled hair. His gaze slowly shifted from his hands to meet mine. "It was about six months ago." He paused for a moment, swallowing hard, his lips twitching as if he were trying to hold back a torrent of emotions."Just like Liam said, we did go to Paris. I didn't want to go, but Bertha insisted that it would be an opportunity to fix our relationship after..." He trailed off and turned his head to the ground.My hands twitched to touch him, but I stopped myself. "After she caught me cheating."He couldn't look at me. He was ashamed."I really wanted to fix things with her, and so we went to Fredrick's Cafe, and then she... she slept with my brother. Right in front of me," he said, his voice cracking, "and now I just found out that she slept with Fredrick too
Jack's POVShe was perfection, everything I wanted in a woman. I sighed blissfully as I ran the tips of my fingers across her soft cheek and pushed the strands of hair out of her face.I smiled to myself as she groaned and turned to the other side of the bed. A soft knock sounded on the door, and I turned my head towards it with a frown.I gently got out of the bed, making sure not to wake Amanda, and wrapped a towel around my waist. I unlocked the door and pulled it slightly open, facing Bertha.My face instantly hardened upon seeing her. Her eyes moved towards the bed, where Amanda was asleep, and I shifted, blocking her view of my woman."What do you want, Bertha?" I asked, annoyance lacing my voice as I looked at her."Can we talk?" she questioned, her voice soft, her eyes burrowing into mine.I gulped as I looked into her eyes and, with a sigh, I nodded and walked out of the room, following behind her.We were at the balcony, and I was only in a towel with the cold biting into my
Four days until Christmas. Four days before I leave here. I was seated outside, wearing a grey sweater and black sweatpants.I looked at the notification that popped up on the screen of my phone and tapped on it."Babe, when are you coming?"It was from Charlie."I'll be back on Christmas, hopefully," I replied, then turned my head towards the sound of approaching footsteps."Bitch! Hopefully? Annie misses you?""Are you busy, Amanda?" It was Charlotte's voice. I exited the messenger app and turned to her with a smile."No, no," I smiled, letting out a breath of cold air, and she smiled back, taking a seat next to me."Jack told me that you would be leaving on Christmas Day," she raised a brow at me and crossed her legs."Yes," I chuckled and looked down at my phone. "I have to go back to my family," I added, and she sighed."I wish you could stay for Christmas and New Year. It would mean a lot to me," she begged, and I shook my head slightly."I'm sorry, Charlotte. I have to get back
"Mom told me that your family would be coming here for Christmas?" Jack raised a brow as he asked."Yeah" I chuckled lowly and rubbed my hands together. We were both seated outside and the night was dark with the only sourced light being the bulb that hanged about us and the moon."Are you cold?" Jack asked and placed his hand on top of mine. My body instantly warmed up but I nodded anyway."Come," He said, tapping his thigh with his eyes piercing into mine. I could already feel the heat building up in my stomach as my clothed skin touched his lap. He took a blanket that was folded on the other chair and threw it over usHe relaxed back in the chair, his eyes gazing into mine and I swallowed and shut my eyes with a smile. "Why are you staring at me like that, Jack?" I asked, opened my eyes and looked at him."Like what?" He asked back with both eyebrow raised and I rolled my eyes to which he chuckled.His hand cupped my cheeks and he pulled my body to his, my head resting between he c
We were a panting mess. The cold was long forgotten as our bodies were covered with beams of sweat. "Fuck," Jack muttered, his hand pressing my hips closer to him.I wrapped my hand around his neck and slowly, my fingers moved up his jaw and I slipped my thumb finger into his mouth. His tongue wrapped around it, sucking on it as my walls creamed his cock.I brought my head to his and pulled my thumb out of his mouth and ran it across his lips. "Tell me, Jack. How did that feel?" His eyes and he brought his lips to mine. "God Amanda, you will be the death of me." He sighed, resting his head backwards and I chuckled."We should put on our clothes before someone else finds us." I groaned, getting up and feeling empty once more.Jack hummed, and pulled his trouser up while I went to pick up my discarded clothes. I shivered as the cold bite into my skin. Jack walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Let's go inside" He murmured and kissed the side of my cheek. "Okay," I l
