"Before we go, can our new couple give us a kiss?" Loren says. Cara head snaps towards Xander's direction immediately those words came out of Loren's mouth.
A kiss? She didn't plan for a kiss.
Cara's heart racing but in spite of that she maintains a smile, she can't get off character now.
"Come on guys, don't be shy." Loren urges.
Xander turns to Cara as well trying not to show how uncomfortable he is with the situation, since his career and image depends on it, he finds himself leaning in. Cara heart almost stopped when she notices he is actually going through with it, she's is surprised he didn't just freak out and spoil the whole show given the fact that he doesn't like her. But since he is playing along, she might as wel
It's been a long journey but we are finally here. OPEN MARRIAGE is live @ https://auriatepublishinghouse.com for just 3.5$ promo price.This is my first ever published book and I am so proud of it. Your support is appreciated, and I hope you continue to support me.Thanks.A LITTLE INTROHi, I'm Ivy Sharon James. I'm an award-winning romance writer, praised for my ability to put the perfect love stories into words. Sadly, it's all words, my reality is far from what I write in my books.Trust me when I say my intense love stories put my marriage to Cole James to shame.10 years and one amazing kid later, I've realized that my marriage has reached that stage. Yes, that stage. The stage where we don't even notice each other anymore, don't do things to make each other happy, a stage which would make one cuss the words "happy ever after".The past 12 hours ha
16 YEARS LATER.ALEXANDER'S POINT OF VIEW."Put me down," She chuckled as she wiggled her legs.I opened the door of our room, taking my wife inside, and closing the door behind us using my leg."Alexander." She whined, I took a little spin which made her giggle.Almost immediately, I felt my back snap stopping me from spinning. It's a sharp pain that pushes through my entire body."Are you okay?" She looked up at me worried, almost as if she heard it snap."Yeah." I lied through the back pain. I slowly put her down trying to prevent myself from falling.With this annoying back pain, my doctors say I should refrain from
"Hey, long day?" Cara looks up at Xander as he walks into the sitting room."Yeah," He drops his briefcase on the couch across hers and then walks up to her. "But it's better now." He mutters as he brings her chin up with two fingers before placing a kiss on her lips.Cara smiles. He puts his hand on her baby bump."How are you two doing in there?" He whispers putting his head down to her bump."Wanna talk about your day?" Cara asks.
"What are you doing?"This is it, she has to make a decision. It's either flight or help. Her hands are shaking, her heart beating fast, the sound of Cara in pain is not helping her think.Why can't she actually walk away?Growing up, people around Liza were scared of her and what she is capable of, including her mum who since Liza was a kid noticed that she didn't have an innocent mind as most kids do. She became more scared of her when Liza, after an argument with her mum, burnt down the house with her in it.Luckily her mum survived but her mum's assistant suffered burns. She didn't get punished for her actions, Charlie paid for the damages as he always does.
"Prove it," such simple words but as every day passes, it becomes harder for Alexander to decode its meaning. How else is he to prove how much he loves her? He thought ordering his security to never let Liza into his house and company is proving it. The flowers every morning at her doorstep, sleeping in his car just outside her house every day, the daily words of affirmation he texts to her every morning and night before she goes to bed, isn't that proving it? The fear of the break becoming permanent is running through Xander's thoughts and these fears are slowly eating him up. Usually, he keeps busy when emotionally stressed, but it's different now, he doesn't want to do anything. So he didn't. Today, he didn't send flowers and he also didn't stop by at her place at night. He stayed home and got drunk.
"Say something," Cassie whispers after offloading her past to Xavier. He has been quiet through it all and this is unsettling for her. Xavier raises his head and looks at her, "Thank you for sharing." He says in a low tone. Cassie nods, trying to process his reply, and then she pauses for a second before she shakes her head, "Is that all you want to say?" "I mean, no one is perfect. I am definitely not." She shakes her head in denial that someone can actually accept all she has told him easily. "You are just saying what you think I want to hear." "No, because I know I am not a saint. I have slept with hundreds of girls, given them a good time. I probably should have gotten my money's worth." Xavier jokes. Noticing t
