MICHEAL'S POV I lay back against the pillows, my body filled with hunger as I looked down at my little girlfriend trembling at the edge of the bed. Her lips were swollen from my kisses, her thighs still wet from the first round I'd wrung out of her. And yet—my hunger for her hadn't dimmed. Not even a bit. It's been too long. It has been too long since I've been inside her.“Come here,” I said, holding her wrist and pulling her closer. “Come sit on my face.”Her eyes widened, and she shook her head shyly. “No…I can't. What if I choke you?”I growled low in my throat, the sound vibrating through the room. “You think I care about that? Do you have any idea how badly I want to drown in you? How badly I want your scent smothering me, your taste coating my tongue until I forget what air even feels like?”Her thighs squeezed together, and she looked down, still hesitating.My jaw clenched. “Are you trying to disobey me, Baby. You promised to be good, remember?”Her gaze snapped up, her lips
MICHEAL'S POV Her back was flat against the bed, my hand firm on her throat, and the little whimper that left her lips…Fuck, it went straight to my cock. “Look at you,” I growled, grazing my teeth down her neck, biting hard enough to make her gasp. “Begging to be fucked in the middle of the night. I should deny you all pleasure right now and leave you aching all night.”She tugged at my shorts. “Michael, please.”“You dressed up all nice to see that little friend of yours with your nipple standing erect in that God forsaken top. You forgot who you belong to, didn't you? I said it several times, baby. No man can make your pussy drip like I do. Only me can do that to your body. Why? Because your body is made for me. Say it, baby.”“I'm made for you, Michael. Only you.”“I bet you're soaked already, aren't you?”Her nails clawed at my arms. “Micheal….” She moaned, clenching her thighs together to get rid of the ache.I pressed my thigh between her legs and felt her wet heat through tha
ASHLEY'S POV I was about to crawl into bed when I heard a knock on the door. I didn't even bother turning my head. “Go away, Micheal.” I muttered, my voice heavy with exhaustion.But the voice that came from the other side wasn't his. “Bunny, it's me, Liam.”I paused for a moment before sighing and walking over to open the door. The second I did, Liam brushed past me and sat on the couch like he owned the place. Well, his brother does own the place.“Can I talk to you for a minute?” He asked.I crossed my arms. “If I say no, will you leave?”He gave me that annoying smirk of his.“No, I won't.”“Figures.”He leaned forward and rested his elbows on his knees. “Listen bunny, I know you're mad at me for hitting your friend, but he crossed the line.”“Yeah, I'm mad at you,” I said sharply. “You were supposed to be my friend. And friends listen to each other. I told you to stop, and you didn't. It could have gotten worse, Liam.”“I'm sorry about that,” he said softly. “But I'm not sorry
ASHLEY'S POV Austin didn’t even make it to the entrance before Liam had him pinned against the wall. His fist was flying like he had been waiting for this moment. Each punch landed with a sickening thud that echoed through the private dining. My heart pounded so loud it hurt.“Liam, stop! Please, stop!” I yelled, running towards them, but it was useless. His eyes were wide and filled with rage.I turned to Michael, who was standing a few steps away with his jaw clenched and his expression unreadable. “Make him stop, please.” I begged, my voice cracking.He didn't even look at me at first. “He's only getting what he deserves for touching you.”“He's going to kill him if he continues,” I sobbed, grabbing his arm. “Please, Michael. If you have any feelings left for me, make him stop.”Michael’s jaw flexed, his nostrils flaring. Then, finally, he gave a sharp nod toward Liam. “Enough.”Liam dropped Austin like a rag doll. He hit the ground with a groan with blood dripping from his nose
ASHLEY'S POV Two weeks ago, I had this perfect plan with my best friend—ditch Liam and travel out of town to anywhere that doesn't remind me of Micheal. Anywhere that didn't make me think of him. Anywhere else that didn't make me want him despite what he did to me.But fate—fate had other plans.FLASH BACK TWO WEEKS AGO After making sure Liam was in a deep sleep, I quietly slipped out of the room and tiptoed down the hallway. My heart was pounding so fast I thought it'd give me away. I found Austin waiting by the kitchen door with his keys dangling in one hand and his hoodie pulled over his head.“He's out,” I whispered. “We have to leave now.”“Good,” he muttered, checking his phone.“Give me a minute, I just need to grab something.”A minute later he came back with a bunch of keys in his hands.“Where exactly are we going?” I asked as we walked towards the garage.“My dad's got a place outside the town. It's been empty for a while, but we'll be safe there.”I nodded. I didn't car
JAYDEN’S POV The last time I felt this kind of fear was when my wife left me in this world with a ten year old who became my entire reason for living. I've faced struggles in business, suffered heartbreak, and lost a loved one. But nothing—absolutely nothing, compares to the fear of losing my only child.And right now, that fear is crawling under my skin. Because she gave me an ultimatum—make things right with Michael, or you won't see me again. I guess that's what love does to people. As much as I hate the idea, I still have to do this.So here I am, standing in the lobby of Kingston Technology, swallowing the last of my pride to be here.“Micheal,” I called out the minute I stepped in, my voice echoing across the walls of the building. Heads turned, whispers followed. There's nothing to hide now, it's all on the news. Then he appeared turning around slowly like he couldn't believe his ears.Hell, I couldn't believe mine either.He looked at me with that icy calm look—the kind that
