Secret Lover Closure
Ace I was woken up by Nora peppering my face with kisses. We didn’t really work things out before we went to bed, but she was talking to me, which I thought was a good sign. I wrapped my arm and her and pulled her closer to me. “What are you doing?” “I’m trying to wake you up because I want to talk before work.” I released my hold on her and sat up and swiped my hand down my face. I didn’t want to argue this early in the morning, but she seemed to be in a good mood, so I agreed to talk. “I had some time to think about our conversation yesterday and the issue with Alex and I wanted to say I’m sorry.” This is not what I thought was going to happen, but I let her continue. “I’ve been ignoring and rejecting your feelings towards Alex and it’s not fair to you, but it’s also not fair for you to assume I would give up a lifelong friendship.” I nodded my head, so she knew I was listening. “So, we need to compromise. What would make you feel comfortable about this situation
Secret Lover Back to Where it All Started
Nora “Can I buy you a drink?” “No thank you, I’m waiting for someone.” “That’s a pity, a pretty lady like you shouldn’t be waiting. Allow me to keep you company until he shows up.” “I guess one drink won’t hurt.” “What is your name?” “You can call me Jade, what should I call you?” The gentleman gives me a smirk. “You can call me Ace.” I couldn’t help but smile. My stomach still had butterflies like it did on the first day I met Ace at this club. We decided we should go on a date night there since it’s been a while. The club has been more popular since Gavin went public. He had to get a larger place, and people have to sign up for reservations in advance if they weren’t part of the VIP program, and with Ace being part of the investors we are part of the VIP program. “Care to dance Jade?” Ace held out his hand and led me to the dance area. Tonight was playing out in almost the same way as our first night together. He spun me around, so my back was against his che
Secret Lover Epilogue: One Year Anniversary
Nora We made it one year and this year has been full of ups and downs, but it has been the best year of my life, and it's only getting better. Ace planned a romantic dinner for the two of us at our favorite restaurant, but I’ve also planned a surprise for him. Anniversaries are not just for the women, it’s for the men as well and they deserve to feel special too. We decided to meet at the restaurant separately so we could work on our own gifts for each other, so when I got to the restaurant, Ace was already seated at the table we always booked looking just as handsome as the first time I saw him. Sometimes I feel like Ace is way too attractive to be with me and I’m thankful that he doesn’t think that. As I approach the table Ace puts his phone down and stands up to kiss me. “Happy Anniversary,” he said with a smile. “It happened so fast.” “It has but I wouldn’t change any of it.” “Me either.” “Should we wait until after dinner to exchange gifts?” “I think that woul
Secret Lover The Invite
Nora Alexander, my best friend, was sitting next to me at our favorite restaurant, flirting with a server again. We try to have lunch with each other once a week so we can make sure to keep each other up to date with things even though we see each other often. As I watch him, I become jealous because he can pick up women at the drop of a pin. I’ve always been envious of that skill of his. He probably doesn’t have to try hard. He’s a good-looking man and pretty charming, women are drawn to him. I’ve known Alex for a long time. Our dads were friends, and then our moms became friends once they met our fathers, which only makes sense for us to be best friends. We do everything together. We even collectively decided on what college to attend and lived together throughout college. “Can you stop flirting for a few minutes and have a conversation with me?” “What is there to talk about? It sounds like you found another loser, another guy not worth your time. I think you need to stop jumpi
Secret Lover You Can Call Me Jade
Nora The place was astonishing, and while it had the footprint of a mansion, they remodeled it to provide sectioned rooms on the first floor. A bar was on my right and a dance floor was on my left. The rooms were massive and provided plenty of space for moving around and dancing. I wanted a drink before I went any further. A drink will help me relax and enjoy the atmosphere. It will help me embrace everything that goes on here. “What can I make you?” The bartender inquired. “Just a martini, please.” “Coming right up.” I looked around the bar while I was waiting for my drink and people were kissing and groping each other while dancing, but my attention was quickly diverted to the man who sat next to me. “First time here, sweetheart?” “How can you tell?” I said in what I thought was a flirty voice. I’m still not sure how to flirt well. I’ve never been the one to openly flirt with someone. “You’re looking around, sitting by yourself, and an elegant lady would be with someone alr
Secret Lover Crossing Paths
Nora I woke up the following day feeling satisfied. After my encounter Saturday night, I felt like I was reborn. I can’t believe I’m saying this to myself, but Alex was on to something this whole time, and I can’t wait to go back to the club. “Someone seems happy.” My co-worker Trent said. “I had a good weekend.” “Are you going to tell me?” “A lady never kisses and tells.” “Oh, so you had a date?” “Not an actual date, but I was with someone.” “I’m glad you’re getting back out there after the whole Cameron ordeal.” Cameron and I weren’t together long, but he said I was too dull for him and found someone more exciting. It was a blow to my confidence, but last night was anything but boring, and for the first time, I felt sexy being with a man. Cameron was one of many and Alex is partially right. I tend to jump into relationships, there usually isn’t a get to know them period, but it’s not all my fault. These guys led me to believe they were on the same page until they
Secret Lover Discovery
Ace I got to this week’s club party early. I wanted to find out who Scarlett was, and I wanted to see if Jade would show up because, for the first time in my life, waiting for a girl made my stomach flip. I couldn’t wait to see her, and I couldn’t wait to know her better. “I see you’re early.” “I didn’t want to miss out, and you can’t give me a hard time since you’re here early, too, Dom.” “Fair enough. Do you have someone picked out for this evening?” “I’m waiting for her to show up, and lucky for me I see her now, so if you’ll excuse me.” I rushed up to her and pulled her into me and kissed her. I fucking missed these lips, soft, moist, and they taste like peppermint. I could kiss her all day if she let me. “That’s one way to say hello.” She giggled as she broke the kiss. “I’m glad you made it.” “And I’m glad you missed me, Ace.” The way she said my name was always flirty and breathy, and it made me want to take her wherever we stood. She doesn’t have to try with m
Secret Lover That’s My Name
Nora We laid in bed basking in our after sex high. The other couple had already cleaned their area and left. “Jade?” “Yeah?” “My real name is Ace. Would you tell me yours?” “I can’t.” “Why not?” “If I tell you, then this will end. What I do here, I would never do in real life, and I’m not ready for this to end.” “This is real life, the connection we have is real, and I want to explore that outside of here. I don’t want this to end either, it’s why I want to know who you are.” “I can’t, Ace. It won’t be the same, and you won’t want to be with me.” Ace leaned in and kissed me, but I couldn’t enjoy it, all I could think about was Ace not wanting me after he got to know the real me. I’m not ready to face that kind of rejection right now. “I want you every way possible, but can you at least stay a bit longer tonight?” “I can.” “Good, let’s get a drink downstairs and talk.” We got dressed, cleaned our area, and headed downstairs to the bar. I ordered water while
