NO EASY WAY

MILES

It takes everything I have inside to act normally at practice. The day before, I spent time with Lola and let things sink in to the point it was painful, and I ended up down in the gym later than usual.

Delilah is pregnant with my baby. I didn’t see a test, but why would she lie about that? I suspected it with Kim, but she was more than happy to show me her tests and prove the baby was mine. We were only casually dating at the time, after all.

I am not even dating Delilah, just sleeping with her behind everyone’s backs. There’s no easy way to explain that, other than making our secret obvious. We messed up.

I think about it all night after Lola falls asleep. There’s a part of me that wants to talk to Delilah, but I need a clear head to do that. My emotions are everywhere, and it’s partly because I have feelings for Delilah. It’s not just sex, but what else could it be? Things didn’t work with Kim after Lola came into our lives, so why would this be any different?

    Is this so wrong? Andrew would think so.I sigh and get a beer before heading to my room alone. The idea of texting her is so tempting just to have her come in and make me feel less caged, but I don’t know where Delilah is right now. I just want to feel her in my arms again and work through this mess.I am at the arena most of the following day to prep for the game, and my stomach knots up as it gets closer to the fans arriving. I know Mom will make dinner before and wonder if Delilah would go with Lola. Would they think she looks different?We’re skating and passing the puck to each other, then to our goalie, and I lift my head to see my family arriving. Delilah is holding Lola’s hand and wearing her brother’s jersey, looking beautiful. She really is glowing, and I watch as she sits down before someone nudges me.“They’re all here to cheer us on. We need to win this one.”Andrew grins and waves at his parents and sister, and I nod slowly in agreement.“That we do.”Delilah brings Lol

    I glance over towards the dimly lit kitchen to see Delilah there, holding a mug. She’s in leggings and a long-sleeve college sweatshirt, looking like an angel with the halo of light surrounding her.“I thought you went to bed. I’ll leave it.”I step back and swallow the lump in my throat as she nods, moving to sit on the couch.“Is it caffeinated? I remember Kim avoided it when she was pregnant with Lola.”Delilah stares at me for a long moment as if she’s shocked I brought it up.“It’s just something herbal. I’ve been doing some online research and I even have an appointment with a doctor next week. It’s someone a friend recommended, and I guess I can’t put it off.”“When? I’ll go with you.”“Miles, you’re highly recognizable in this city. Do you know the gossip that will start?”I do and that’s why the guys all use the same group of doctors during their wives’ pregnancies. This group keeps things under wraps and makes special arrangements to ensure our privacy, and Kim used them.“Y

    US?DELILAHUs? Does Miles want an us? I’ve had daydreams about it, but that’s all they were.“Do you want there to be an us, Miles?”“I’ve never felt this way about someone. A baby certainly shakes things up, but let’s take it day by day and see what happens. I’ll never stop supporting you and the baby, no matter what happens.”His eyes are so gorgeous and sincere, and I want to dive into them. My body propels me forward and I take a careful step in his direction.“Okay. Are you sure? I know you tried this with Kim, and it failed.”“I’ll never regret Lola, just like I won’t regret this new baby no matter what happens. I wasn’t meant to stay with Kim, and it worked out the way it was meant to. It’s tragic she died, but I can’t change it and I am going to make Lola’s life great because of it.”“We’re still keeping it between us?”I don’t want to see what will happen with Andrew yet, or the faces of my parents. They never imagined this for me.“It’s a good idea while we figure out docto

    “Do you want a boy or a girl this time, Miles?”“I pictured a boy at the game when you brought Lola to the glass, but I don’t care. It will be great either way.”He looks at the pictures with a soft smile that melts my heart.“You imagined a boy.”I laugh, not believing what I’m hearing. I just wanted Miles to accept the baby and never expected him to be so involved.“Yeah. I saw you with an older version of Lola and this baby boy in your arms at the glass, smiling as you watched me interact with them. He looked like both of us and it was kind of perfect.”This might work. I don’t know how, but it might. We’re in his bed every night if he’s home, but life is normal aside from that. I take care of Lola as much as ever and seeing her as a big sister makes me smile all the time.I’m blessed when I feel better in the second trimester, but we’re still hiding it from everyone else. We’re at a point where it’s safe to make the announcement, but I feel so scared about it.Andrew comes by for

    Miles gets Lola settled at the table and I sit down beside Lola while Andrew takes the seat across from us. I share a look with Miles, and I know he thought something worse happened in the kitchen with his eyes. He’s a little much about making sure I’m safe.“This is so good, Del. You cook a lot like Mom.”Andrew takes another large bite of meat and vegetables as I watch Lola shove a diced carrot in her mouth.“I learned from the best. Gram taught her, after all.”It feels good to eat, though I make a small plate. I snack all day now and don’t want to gain too much weight, but everything sounds good.The guys talk shop over the meal, and I listen, eating slowly as I monitor Lola while she eats. I’m already thinking about the carrot cake in the fridge and sigh as I realize I am addicted to food.I am careful about my reactions to anything after that. I can cry in the house alone. Miles can see it. Maybe I’m paranoid, but it feels like everyone is watching me right now. I go to games wi

    I wish I believed that, and as he reaches over to stroke my nipple, it makes me forget everything.We’re at the next home game and sitting in the usual seats, waiting for the game to start. It’s been a few days since our talk and Miles wants to plan a family dinner. I’m nervous just thinking about it and get lost in thought as Lola goes to Brynn for some snacks.“Delilah?”I blink and come crashing back to earth, gazing at Miles’s sister.“Yeah?”“Were you sleeping in my brother’s room? Lola just told me she saw you there.”Shit. Lola caught me in there when Miles got up with her and she got through the door before he could close it. It wasn’t the first time she had seen me near his room, and I knew I was being careless.What can I say? I’m busted, aren’t I?“I’ve thought you seemed different lately. If you and Miles are seeing each other, I get it. He needs a woman that’s more like you with Lola and everything going on in his life. Just so you know, she’s talking a lot and better tha

If something were wrong, they’d let me know.I have been worried since I found out about the baby. Delilah is healthy and handles everything well, but she stays so busy with Lola. What if she’s not getting enough rest?Lola is still there, sitting with Brynn, and they’re both smiling. Soon, there will be another child and I love the idea.“Back out there, Adams. We need another goal.”I snap back to reality and take to the ice when I’m clear, going to the face-off. This game is taking a lot out of me, but I keep moving, trying to make opportunities happen for us.I keep looking over to see the two women absent from the seats. Where are they?We win by a one goal lead and I skate to the bench, feeling drained. Everyone else is celebrating around me and I sink down to the bench, gulping water.“Gre

    “She’s my baby sister, Miles. What if it were me with Brynn?”“Delilah is twenty-four, Andrew. She’s a college graduate. This couldn’t happen with anyone better than me because I’ll give all of them the world. You’ve seen it with Lola.”“I’m going to check on her.”“Tone it down in there, Andrew. My granddaughter is in the house.”My dad speaks in a rare firm tone and Andrew and I look at him before my friend rushes inside.“She’s pregnant?”“Yeah, Dad. We were going to tell you soon, but hey. Surprise.”“Do you love her?”“I do. She’s so great with Lola and with me. I can’t imagine life without Delilah in it.”“I agree with that. You have a mess to deal with in there.”“Tell me about it. This wasn’t the plan.”We walk into the house and find a scene happening in front of us. Delilah is crying as Andrew sits close to her and my mom watches as if she’s about to interrupt at any time. Lola is nowhere in sight, and I assume Brynn has her somewhere else in the house.“This is what you wan

    “The night I caught you making out with my ex-boyfriend at his apartment. Do you regret it?” I repeat, staring at Jess as though daring her to deny it. The room falls silent, save for Christie's soft giggles which I ignore. There is a slight shift in the atmosphere. I notice that Tanya and Annabelle tense up.“I do. I swear I do.” She mumbles, her face morphing into her best genuine expression. If I wasn’t so pissed at her and everyone else, I might actually believe her. But I know better than to trust anyone right now. Especially her. And especially when she’s got a fake look plastered all over her beautiful face.“But you two still had sex after that night. Didn’t you?”There is an awkward moment where everyone just stares at each other until Christie finally breaks it. “Lily—”“Christie please. Don’t butt in.” I cut her off, shaking my head in disbelief.“You’ve had your question. She’s not obliged to answer you anymore.” Annabelle states, her voice laced with annoyance.My eyes st

    LilyI never liked sleepovers. Why would any grown adult be excited about the prospect of being sandwiched in the same apartment with four other ladies, three of whom you’ve not seen in quite a long while, and you’ve always had a strained relationship with?Well apparently, Christie doesn’t share any of my concerns. She’s sitting on her bed in only her pajama pants, with a huge grin that says she’s got all the fun to herself. Back in the university days, there were five of us: Myself, Christie, Tanya, Annabelle and Jessica. We were as tight as a little sisterhood could be. But slowly as with all good relationships, time wore it away and we drifted apart with me and Christie sticking together, and the rest of the crew drifting off into one direction or another.It didn’t help that I never did like Jessica or the rest of the girls besides Christie, but I did manage to fake it pretty well until we graduated. I had always felt Jessica was more loyal to her hormones than our friendship and

    LilyThe road to the CEO’s office is a long one, not least because my mind keeps playing with different ways and reasons why I won’t get the job:“You’re late Ms. Sanders. I’m afraid you don’t fit our requirements for this job.”... “You’re unqualified Ms. Sanders, your CV lacks experience for the role.”... “You’re wrongly dressed Ms. Sanders, you’re not applying for the role of a pole dancer in a clubhouse.”Shit! My eyes dart down towards my chest. Sure enough I can see the pink tinge of my bra through my black camisole. With a heavy sigh, I pull up the hem of my shirt to cover it and put on my best expression of a ‘I’m the best candidate for this job’ face. A few more languid steps, heavy breaths and a slight stumble on the last step later and I’m right in front of his office.I dither for a minute with my hand on the door handle. The thought of entering the office makes me want to gag. A couple of ‘what if’s’ play through my head that end with my mom’s derisive laughter echoing aro

    LiamToday has to be the most gloomy day ever. The skies are gray as can be, and the temperature is so cold it’s like being at a funeral for all but the dead. It’s miserable. My art gallery is almost empty and devoid of life save for myself and a few staff.The art gallery, typically an inspiring haven, feels unusually stifling today. Its pristine white walls, adorned with masterpieces, are flanked by grand crystal chandeliers overhead, casting a faint, almost ghostly light. Even the marble floor looks dreary, despite the polished shine that coats its surface.My fingers absentmindedly graze the deep blue upholstery of the couch, a stark contrast to the gallery's opulence. The usual buzz of art enthusiasts has vanished, replaced by an eerie silence that only adds to the gloomy atmosphere that’s enveloped the gallery like a cloak.The artwork on the walls, once vibrant and evocative, now appears lifeless. The chandeliers, once resplendent, emit a subdued radiance, mirroring my melancho

    Dean shakes his head sadly. “It’s okay.” He says softly, before picking up his cutlery. “Let’s eat shall we?”Mom scoffs and rolls her eyes, but she also picks up her own fork. “Of course. You two haven’t touched your meal. It’s getting cold!”We start eating, the silence tense, but it’s short lived. After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, my mom breaks it. She clears her throat, her voice a tad shaky. “So what does Christie do?”“She owns a boutique. Unlike some of us, she doesn’t have the luxury of a trust fund so she can’t sleep around and waste her time on random men.” I respond, offering her my best impression of a warm smile. I can tell I hit a nerve with that one. I can see Dean looking at me from the corner of his eye. He slides a hand over mine, rubbing circles at the back of my palm and I give him a reassuring smile in response.“Wow. Impressive. Good to know that she’s doing well. Unlike some people.”Her tone is almost mocking, and my gut clenches uncomfortably. I ca

    LilyMy elder brother is home for the first time in over six months. That means I’m being forced to join in at a family dinner, where I’m dead certain my mom will act like she’s been the perfect mother, and our mother-daughter relationship is the greatest thing on earth.As I step into the dining room, the aroma of freshly cooked pasta fills the air. The table is elegantly set with fine china and polished silverware. Candles flicker, casting a soft glow over the room, creating an atmosphere that should be warm and inviting.However, there is an underlying tension that lingers, like an unwelcome guest at this family dinner. No one else seems to feel it though, aside from the ‘black sheep’ of the family. On days like this I wish my dad was here, sometimes I wish it was my mom who passed away all those years ago and not him, but my wishing has changed nothing, and it never will, so I’m just learning to live with it, as terrible as it gets at times.My mother sits at the head of the table

    Liam“Thank you so much.”That must be the one millionth time I’ve used that phrase tonight. I’ve shook so many hands and forced so many smiles, that the muscles on my cheeks and arms are starting to hurt but damn I love parties. I mean who doesn't? It’s the grand opening of my art gallery. Soft, classical music flows from speakers in the corner and the room is bathed in warm, flickering light.The room is packed full of guests, dressed to the nines in designer clothes and jewelry with greetings, congratulations and handshakes flying in my direction as I move between the crowd. My eyes settle on one of the more prominent guests standing in a group off to the side. I stop dead in my tracks and smile. She's stunning. Long hair, deep blue dress and flawless makeup, but even without makeup her beauty rivals that of some of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in person. My grin only widens when she notices me looking at her and offers an inviting, if slightly awkward wave. I make my wa

    LiamSIX MONTHS LATER…..Apparently, getting a cup of coffee and something to eat in New York city is now a herculean task. Bake Shark, my favorite food truck/semi restaurant, has always been a beehive of activity with long waiting times. Thirty minutes in and I’m only just reaching the front of the line. I heave a sigh of relief as I finally get to the front of the queue. The attendant pokes her head out of the drive through.“Welcome to Bake Shark, sir. May I take your order?”“The regular, Betty.” I respond, giving her a curt nod. Usually, we’d exchange pleasantries and catch up on everything and anything, but with the long line of hungry people behind me, and the amount of time I’ve pretty much wasted waiting means I can’t afford to. Betty, a sweet redhead with dark brown eyes, a pretty face and a killer body to match—looks disappointed by my lack of conversation as she scribbles down on her pad. She nods anyway before heading back inside.One good thing about my time in the Navy

    His tongue swipes over my nipple again, causing goosebumps to run across my arms and legs. My nails dig into the sheets beneath me as he continues to lick and suck my breasts, his slow pace driving me wild with ecstasy. I whimper softly, unable to contain the pleasurable sensations coursing through me. I want to touch him so bad, and I do. Fumbling with the buttons on his shirt, I pull it apart and push my hands underneath the cotton to caress his strong, lean chest. My fingers continue to explore every arch, every dip and curve. The warmth of his body ignites me and I gasp when his hands cup my butt.He pushes me deeper into the mattress gently, settling on top of me and hovering above me. He smirks as he sees the flush coloring my cheeks. Our gazes meet again and the hungry heat within him fills the air around us. His fingertips inch their way up my thighs and I almost sob at the feeling.“How can I please you?” I whisper, wanting nothing more but to make him feel as good as I feel.
