Jayden's POV Immediately we entered the hotel room, She pushed me on the nearest chair, I cleared my throat as she pulled at my tie and unbuttoned my shirt, she pulled my trousers along with the boxer making my hard member sprung out. She gasped, her mouth forming an ‘O’ as if she couldn't believe what she's seeing.“You've gotten bigger.” She said with amusement in her voice, licking her lips to wet them properly. “Now let me take care of you.”Before i could say anything, she opened her mouth and dip my cock in it, “Fuck Kate, your mouth is fucking warm.” She started bobbing her head up and down, sucking my dick like her life depended on it. I grabbed the back of her head and made her suck deeper, making her gag on my dick “You like that, right? You like gagging on my dick” By now she had tears slipping out from her eyes and I was so close to my fucking release. “Just like that baby, I'm close…. Ahhh, fuck kate.” I came inside her mouth and she made sure to lick every drop of it b
Micheal's POVThe beep of my phone broke the silence as I sat in my office sorting through papers. It was a call from an investor, one who had been lingering around for a while but now seemed to be ready to make an offer. The smooth and professional voice on the other end of the line was well recognised to me but I could not help but sense a faint undertone of excitement in the investor's tone. They were happy to talk business…serious business. The conversation went well but I wasn't in the proper mindset to make a decision. I need advice on this.That was when I put a call through to Jayden, the phone kept ringing but he didn't pick. I called again, the phone rang for a while before I could hear his voice at the other end. "Hey, man. Have been trying to reach you, where are you?"Jayden's voice on the phone was slightly muffled as if he had been obstructed. “I'm at our usual spot, close to the club.”“I've got something to discuss with you.” I said, leaning back in my chair. “I r
Ashley's POVAs I walked towards my room, Uncle Michael's proposal kept bothering my mind. It was a great opportunity, but I feel some type of way about it after everything that happened in paris. He didn't have to say it. He could have simply ignored me like everyone else, but he didn't. Having a big shot like him as an investor after everything I've done was like a triumph…a big deal to my company. But I couldn't let myself show it. I couldn't let myself get too carried away. Not now. Not when I was still mad at him for his actions towards me in Paris.I shut the door and collapsed onto my bed, still clutching my phone. Austin had been here the whole time, just sitting with me, but I knew he wasn't just here to pick his stuff up, He was sitting with me to catch up and he always had the perfect way of getting me to talk. I couldn't let that happen today.“So,” I began, standing up to lean against my desk, “Uncle Micheal offered to invest in my company.”That caught his attention, an
Micheal's POV The day has been good so far. The investors had arrived at the office, and the meeting had gone smoothly. They were pleased with the numbers, the course of the firm, and, of course, my management. Everything was according to plan. After they had left, I sat alone in my office, reviewing the final details of the contracts before me, content with what I had done.My office remained quiet. I leaned back in my chair and sipped on my coffee as the weight of the day rested upon my shoulders. Barely in time before I was able to resume attention on paperwork, my office phone rang and brought me back out of my thoughts. It was my new assistant.“Mr Michael, there’s someone here to visit you. A young woman named Ashley. Should I let her in?” My assistant's voice over the telephone line.I blinked in surprise, Ashley? She never told me she was coming. “Let her in.” After a minute, the door opened, Ashley stood in the doorway, but she didn't look ok. She looked disturbed, sad.
Ashley's POVAs I pulled my car into the driveway, I couldn't help but think about what happened in Uncle Micheal's office. I only went there to talk, I needed someone to talk to, and he seemed to be the right person at the moment. I can't talk to my dad about what happened in Paris because he will never forgive me if he finds out. My best friend Austin wouldn't understand either. So Uncle Micheal happens to be the only option left, but I never planned for it to go down that way. I kissed my father’s best friend without thinking. I couldn't help but question myself, Why exactly did I do that? Was it because I wasn't in the right state of mind? Do I need a distraction? Or I possibly feel something for him? Hell no…. It can't be. Me? Have feelings for Uncle Michael? That can never be possible. I shake my head to get rid of the thoughts. He's way older and more mature than me. I care and love him like a father…dats all.But why did something so wrong feel right at the same time? No
Micheal's POV“Uncle Micheal, thank you for this opportunity once again, I can't believe it. I am here to submit my business proposal in Kingston's Technology, one of the biggest companies in New york.” Ashley said out of excitement. “You are welcome, Ashley. You have always been a smart girl, and I know your company will be successful.” I noticed she was bright and cheerful today, like Ashley, have always known. “Seems you are in a good mood today.” She smiled, looking away to hide her blush, “I sort things out with Austin. We are good now. “Oh, that's good. So he really meant that much to you.” I asked out of curiosity.“He’s my best friend. He means a lot to me. Uncle micheal, about what happened the last time…”“Let's not talk about that, i know it’s a mistake, and you weren't in the right state of mind.”I know she didn't mean to do what she did, but I couldn't stop thinking about it since it happened…Hell I couldn't stop thinking about her ever since I laid my eyes on her
Ashley's POV My mind wandered as I drove home, Uncle Micheal's face kept resurfacing in my mind, the way his eyes lingered on me, soft yet they were full of unspoken words. I know something was bothering him, but I couldn't figure it out. A pang of confusion stirred in my chest ‘Could he possibly have feelings for me’ but as the thought came to mind, I pushed it out quickly to get rid of it. I couldn't afford to entertain such thoughts.Pulling into the driveway, I parked my car and stepped out of it, but as I did, my phone rang. I glanced at the screen, and it was a group call from my friends.I picked up the call and I regret it immediately, “Bitch where are you?” that was Sophie, screaming on top of her voice.“Come over and get some dick you holy virgin.” Jade yelled into the phone.Then finally I could hear a sane person voice over the phone, “Ash, where are you? The girls miss you.” Austin asked, and with all the noises surrounding him..i could tell they were at the club.“I c
Ashley's POV As we drove to the venue, I looked out the window with my mind filled with thoughts. I couldn't help but think about what happened earlier, how Uncle Micheal looked at me in his office. I couldn't shake the feeling that there's more to it . We both sat in silence until he cleared his throat and decided to talk.“How's the proposal coming up? Is there anything I can help with?” He asked, looking towards my direction.“No, I will handle it myself and bring it to you as soon as possible. Thanks anyway.”He nodded, placing his focus back on the road.I saw a huge building close to us and I could tell that we'd arrived at the venue. “Are you alright?” I nodded quickly “Yea I'm fine, just thinking.”“Don't worry, we will get through this. It's just business.” He assured me while parking his car in the venue's lot.I didn't know if that was to reassure me, but did it help? No.“Right, it's just business.” We stepped out of the car, and I could see a lot of people approach
MICHEAL'S POV I couldn't sit still.Not at work. Not at home.Not even with Jess hovering around like some gentle ghost who didn't belong to the room anymore. That picture burned a hole in my brain. Ashley. Standing across from a man I didn't know. Her head tilted down, her eyes guarded. His hand on her shoulder. It was sent to me from an anonymous number. No text. No explanation.Just the image.I didn't want to believe it meant anything. But the way she'd been lately…distant, jumpy, always one foot out the door– it made it too easy for my mind to go places it shouldn't. I needed answers. I couldn't breathe without them anymore.So I drove down to her place.I didn't care that it was getting late. I didn't care that she hated people showing up unannounced. I just needed to see her face. I needed to know if she'd lie to me. Right to my face. ************Her apartment building looked the same. Cold. Familiar. My heart was beating so hard in my chest as I rang the bell. There wa
JESS'S POV The quiet inside the house had been oppressive, as if it had its own weight bearing down on my chest.I folded my legs over one another at the bed frame, pulled up close, clasped my knees. My fingers picked at a thread that was loose on my sleeve and twisted, pulled it over and over again as if I pulled enough, then maybe the rest of things would come apart too.Micheal's words wouldn't stop cycling in my head."I don't think I should have loved her."I know he still loved her. Even though he didn't say it. I could see it clearly in his eyes. I could feel it in the way his voice softened when he spoke her name.Ashley.Even her name made me want to throw up.I got up and went to the window, opening the curtains a little. The street was quiet now. Quiet. Empty. The sort of quiet that I never got at home. I leaned my head against the cold glass and shut my eyes.It wasn't supposed to turn out this way.I never want to fall in love with him.At first, I just wanted to be ther
MICHEAL'S POVThe clock on the microwave blinked at 11:42AM. I'm still in the same spot. Still holding the damn phone like it held answers to all the questions swirling in my head.I should've gone after her.Jess.She walked out like she was holding herself together with tape and string, and I just stood there. I watched her go. I didn't stop her, I didn't say anything that mattered. I let her walk away with that look in her eyes, like she already knew what I was gonna say before I ever said it.Because she was right.I didn't feel the same. And I hated myself for it.She deserved better than being a second option. Hell, she deserved to be someone’s first choice, not the person in the background, picking up the pieces when everything else fell apart. But I couldn't lie to her. I never harbour such feelings for her, she's always been like a sister to me and it's best it remains that way. And then there was Ashley.God.I leaned back against the counter, thumb hovering over my scree
JESS'S POVThe minute I heard the door click shut, I knew she was gone. Ashley.I sat on the bed upstairs, wearing Micheal's hoodie. The sleeves held tightly in my hand out of anger, knuckles white. I did not wish to hear the words, couldn't quite turn my ears quite enough to pay attention to what was being spoken. But I could feel it. In their voices, tension was there. The cracks. The silence that screams.And for a second….I hoped she'd stay gone.God, what's wrong with me?I rubbed at my chest, like maybe the pressure there would ease. But it didn't. It never did around her. Not when I saw her name flash on his phone. Not when he talked about her like she was everything. Not when he looked at her like she still belonged to him.Well, she did belong to him. And I hated it.I stood up, walked towards the window. The city felt so quiet. So blind. Micheal's apartment fell still again, the sort of stillness that convinced you that all else was sound. I saw myself reflected in the glas
MICHEAL'S POV The smell of coffee drifted through my penthouse before the sun had even fully come up. I stood by the stove, flipping pancakes half awake, wearing the same sweatpants I'd crashed in. My hair was a mess, eyes still a bit swollen from sleep, but Jess always liked breakfast early. And I'd promised.The kitchen was quiet except for the soft noise of the pans and the low sound of the fridge. Jess came down a few minutes later, barefoot, wearing an old hoodie of mine she’d found in the guest room closet. She smiled when she saw me cooking.“Now this is a sight,” she said, sitting down on a stool. “Mikey in his natural habitat.”I smiled, barely. “I told you I got you.”She watched me for a second. “You didn't sleep, did you?.”I shrugged. “Did you?” “Like a baby.”When I was done, I handed her a plate and sat across from her with my own meal in hand. She dug in immediately, humming like she used to when we were kids, and Aunt Marie made cinnamon rolls on Sundays. It should
MICHEAL'S POVThe numbers on my screen blurred together. I blinked once. Twice. Still nothing. I'd been staring at the same email for fifteen minutes, maybe even more. I couldn’t even remember what it was about anymore. My fingers hovered over the keyboard like they forgot how to type. I leaned back in my chair, rubbing the back of my head. Ashley.I couldn't stop thinking about her. She'd been off lately. Not cold exactly, just…distant. Her smile didn't reach her eyes anymore. Her laugh, the one that used to hit me right in the chest, now felt forced. Too quick, like she was trying to convince herself that it was real.And ever since she ran into him, Ryan, she hadn't been the same. I hated that name. Hated that I even know it now. Could she possibly still have feelings for him? I shook off the thought as soon as it came to mind.I used to think Ashley was an open book, but now? It was like someone glued the pages shut. Each time I asked, She said she was fine. Tired, distracted, w
ASHLEY'S POV The restaurant was nice. Too nice, maybe. Low lights, soft jazz, white napkins folded like they mattered. Micheal decided to take me out for lunch because my tummy wouldn't stop growling earlier. And the minute we got here. I fell in love with this place. Now the issue is…I couldn't stop thinking about Ryan. Don't get me wrong, I don't want him back or anything like that, but why was he here? Why now that I'm in a safe place? I told myself I'd gotten the closure I seek, but that one look from him made me question everything I believed. Micheal sat across from me, talking about something….work, I think, but his voice felt distant. Like background noise in a movie, I wasn't really watching. I nodded, smiled at the right moments. sipped my wine like I wasn't screaming inside. But I felt it. That stare. That burned on my back even as I walked away earlier, but I pretended I didn't. I had to, and Micheal was there.Ryan.God, why did he still get to make me feel like this?
RYAN'S POV REGRET.The only emotion I felt after she left me.She didn't even flinch.She just got up and walked away with him like I was invincible. Like I was a stranger asking for directions in a park she didn't want to be in.I sat there for a while after they left. Still. Quiet. I tried not to let it show that my chest felt like someone had stuck their hand in and twisted it. I wasn't going to chase. I wasn't going to make a scene. But God…it burned.I should’ve never texted her. That's what I told myself. But I didn't believe we were done. Not really. I needed to see her. Needed to look in her eyes and know if what we had was really gone, or if maybe, just maybe, there was still something more there. And for a second…I thought there was.She showed up. That had to mean something.She could’ve ignored me and blocked my number.But she came. And that gave me hope. Dumb, reckless, fragile hope.Until he showed up.The way he said her name. Like he already owned her.And the way
MICHEAL'S POV I wasn't supposed to be there.I was just walking by the park, cutting through like I always did when heading back from Jayden's place. It was supposed to be a regular night. Headphones in, mind on nothing important. But my house felt stuffy and damn too quiet. It always did. So I decided to get some air. To just move around and clear my head. But then I saw her.Ashley.She was sitting on a bench with some guy. I stood there, stuck in place, the weight of what I was seeing nailed me to the ground. Then I took slow steps closer, pulled out my earbuds, and watched from a distance.I noticed Ashley shifted slightly, just enough to put space between them. But not enough to quiet the storm rising in my chest.Was this a date? Was I too late?I hated the way my mind spiralled. I hated the way I spy on her just because I felt insecure.I should’ve walked away, but I didn't.Instead, I took a few steps towards them. Not loud enough to interrupt. Just enough to see his face. H
