The ballroom glowed with chandeliers and golden drapes, alive with soft music, clinking glasses, and the hum of wealthy donors who would buy overpriced items just to look like saints.

Ava arrived on Xander’s arm, sleek in a backless silver dress that glittered in the flashes of the camera lights.

Her smile was polite— too polite. She still felt Tristan somewhere behind her like a shadow she pretended not to search for.

As the cameras flashed and couples were seen taking photos and chatting at

  • Shared In Tangled Sheets    Harper’s pregnant?!

    Ava stood in the doorway of her study, her arms folded tightly across her chest.“Tristan.”He didn’t look up immediately.He sat comfortably behind the desk, scrolling through his phone like he had nowhere else to be. Like nothing in the world could disturb him.“Hmm?” he murmured.Her jaw tightened.“Did you move money from my account again?”That got his attention. He slowly lifted his gaze to hers, calm and completely unbothered.“What was it for this time?” she asked.He leaned back in the chair, stretching lazily.“Oh… that.”Ava’s stomach twisted. “That,” she repeated sarcastically. “You act as if it were nothing.“Because it’s nothing,” Tristan said chuckling like it was funny. “Don’t do that,” she said quietly.“Do what?”“Act like it’s not a big deal.”Tristan shrugged. “Technically… It’s not a big deal.”Ava’s eyes flashed with anger, “Tristan, you transferred almost thirty thousand dollars from my account.”His brows lifted slightly. “When you say it like that, it sounds

  • Shared In Tangled Sheets    Quit Being Jealous!!!

    The quiet hum of the engine filled the car as Xander drove through the empty streets back to the house. The city had begun to thin out at this hour, fewer cars, fewer people, just long stretches of dark road and flickering street lamps.But his mind was anything but quiet. His phone chimed and the screen lit up with the PI’s message, “he was spotted by his pent house with Miss Harper, she could be his target also.”Xander exhaled slowly. “If this is true… then Harper might be caught in the same mess Ava was in.”The thought made his stomach twist.Harper had always been reckless, always chasing excitement and attention, but she wasn’t stupid. If Tristan was manipulating her the same way he was manipulating Ava…Then everything was far worse than Xander had imagined.His grip tightened on the steering wheel. “Should I tell Ava now?” He could already picture her reaction. Defensive. Angry. Protective of Tristan. She always defended Tristan.“Without evidence, she’d think I am just try

  • Shared In Tangled Sheets    Dig Up More Dirt

    Xander sat behind the wheel, the engine of his car off, the interior dim except for the soft blue glow of the dashboard. Beside him, the private investigator flipped open a file, the faint rustle of paper too loud in the enclosed space.“Before we continue,” the PI said quietly, “you should understand that once you know this, you can’t unknow it.”Xander kept his eyes forward. He didn’t usually conduct meetings like this, he wasn’t used to what now seemed like his new normal.Parked cars and disposable phones. He was used to predictable situations and behaviors but predictability had left his house weeks ago.He was already tired. Tired of pretending nothing was wrong, tired of watching his wife split herself in two, tired of sharing his space with a man he wanted gone.“Continue,” he told the PI in a very clipped tone. The alley behind the tinted windows was narrow and suffocating. Brick walls rising on either side like silent judges. The place smelled like rust and neglect, mirror

  • Shared In Tangled Sheets    Into The Fire

    Xander sat there, watching his wife being pleasured by another man— her lover. He watched as he trailed kisses down her belly, as she quivered and responded to his every touch until he reached her fold. Tristan parted it with two fingers, testing to see how ready she was and without notice, he bent over, flicking his tongue over her clit. A sigh escaped her, raw— explosive. Xander kept watching, he couldn’t stop watching. Tristan noticed Ava was close to her climax, and with one swift move, he penetrated her, stroking away. The sheer force of this moment was so intense. Xander— still watching, took out his cock and pleasured himself. Ava opened her eyes slightly and saw Xander watching them while pleasuring himself and something inside her snapped.She rolled over Tristan, her palms pressed against his chest, pushing him down for a kiss so deep he groaned into her mouth.Xander inhaled sharply. Then Ava turned to him.Xander didn’t move— until she climbed onto his lap and kissed

  • Shared In Tangled Sheets    Crisis Management

    Ava sat at the dining table with her laptop open, fingers shaking visibly.Xander hovered behind her like a storm cloud.Tristan’s video call came through. “Put me on speaker,” he said.“No,” Xander responded.“Yes,” Ava countered, staring Xander down.Tristan smirked on screen, satisfied with Ava’s response. “Alright, children, let’s draft this statement.”Xander growled. “Say ‘children’ one more time…”“Focus!” Ava slammed the table. “We need to figure this out before it gets out of hand.”Silence from both ends.Tristan began dictating. “We categorically deny the defamatory claims…”Ava typed fast like her life depended on it.“Mrs. Ava Moore was not involved in any inappropriate conduct…”“That sounds stiff,” Xander muttered.“Good. People will believe stiff over seductive,” Tristan replied.“You’re enjoying this way too much,” Ava snapped.Tristan shrugged. “Crisis management turns me on, I can’t help it.”Ava froze. Xander lunged toward the phone. Ava barely grabbed him.“Can b

  • Shared In Tangled Sheets    What Love Devours

    Xander stormed into Ava’s office without knocking.His eyes were wild with rage, his jaw, clenched so tight the muscle twitched.Ava stood instantly.“Xander…?” She stuttered.“Why didn’t you tell me?” He questioned in return. Tristan, who had been leaning against her desk obviously in the middle of a conversation, straightened.Xander threw his phone onto the table. A video was playing— a blurry clip leaked by someone at the office.The client leaving the meeting room looking furious. Ava storming out. Tristan behind her, his hand almost touching her waist. People whispering in the background.Xander’s voice cut through the room like a blade, pulling their attention from the video playing on his phone.“Aside from this video that’s been circulating rapidly, that man said you tried to seduce him to secure the deal in a press release.”Ava gasped. “What?! He… he propositioned me! He said.. ”“I don’t care what he said!” Xander roared.“I care that you didn’t tell me immediately it hap

  • Shared In Tangled Sheets    Secret And Lies

    The underground parking lot was almost deserted when Ava stepped out of the elevator towards her car. The echo of Ava’s heels bounced off the concrete walls. She was alone, she clutched her bag closer, mind still buzzing with numbers and Tristan.She heard heavy footsteps that weren’t hers behind

  • Shared In Tangled Sheets    The Accident

    The office was quiet, the hum of the city below muffled by the glass windows. Everyone else had gone home, but Ava and Tristan stayed behind to work on the latest project. Papers spread across the table, laptops glowing against the dimmed lights.“If I see one more column of numbers, I swear I’ll

  • Shared In Tangled Sheets    Slipping Control

    By the time the afternoon light streamed in through the office windows, Ava had almost convinced herself she’d shaken off the morning’s incident— Almost.Her laptop hummed softly on the desk, a spreadsheet opened before her, but the numbers blurred into useless columns. Her mind kept drifting back

  • Shared In Tangled Sheets    Close Proximity

    Ava arrived at TMP Inc. earlier than usual the next morning.She needed the silence, the stillness of empty hallways and the soft hum of the espresso machine in her top floor office, before the weight of the day descended. Anything to drown out the echo of the night before. The sting in her chest
