“Honey, would you help me grab my shirt from the bed?” Jo asked from across the room.

He was rummaging through the drawers, shoving things aside in frustration. Each cupboard he opened turned up empty, and his irritation grew with every second.

“What are you looking for?” I asked as I reached the bed. I'd showered some minutes ago and just changed into my nightwear.

We had a movie to watch tonight. The TV was set up and the drinks were downstairs.

Jo’s back was to me, but the tension in his shoulder was clear.

“A client’s card,” Jo muttered.

He spared me a glance and it didn’t feel like it was a mere client’s card he was looking for.

It wasn’t the time to push him, so I focused on helping. His clothes were scattered across the bed, something I hated. I was a neat freak, and Jo wasn’t. I had always known it from the nights we spent together, but it hadn’t been this obvious until the boat cruise.

And now I was living with him.

I picked up his jacket a

  • Their Little White Lie   Fogged Car Windows

    SABRINA MORALESI heard Blaze chuckle beside me. The sound was soft and easy to miss, but it caught my attention. Right now, Blaze and I were in sync, like we were on the same wavelength. I could hold back a moan, and he’d still sense it, my leg muscles twitching in his hold.“Open your eyes, baby,” Blaze whispered just for me. He kept teasing me, his fingers brushing my nipple through the fabric. His touch was slow like time itself had paused. I swallowed a hiss and forced my eyes open, pushing through what felt like layers of resistance. My body wanted to shut everything else out and focus only on him—his fingers, his breath, his words. The way his chest rose and fell, his breathing quick with a slightly faster pulse. My heart pounded.“How am I supposed to watch anything like this?” I asked Blaze, shifting closer to his seat. The armrest between us felt like a curse, keeping us apart. A few pieces of popcorn spilled onto my lap, but I didn’t care.Blaze turned to face me, his

  • Their Little White Lie   Dirty Game

    SABRINA MORALES “It’s really you!” Asher exclaimed, his face lighting up with a wide grin. He turned to his friend, Blaze, and slapped his chest. “Sabrina is Brie!” Sabrina is Brie? That caught my attention. In high school, my friends called me Brie, but most people outside that circle used my full name, Sabrina. Someone saying “Sabrina is Brie” meant they knew me as Brie first, then as Sabrina, and somehow didn’t realize I was the same person. I glanced at Blaze, my eyes narrowing instinctively. He’d been talking about me to Asher. I wanted to ask what he’d said, but I knew that could spark another argument. Two more people had passed us while we stood here, and I was starting to feel like I’d come out today just to run into Blaze. “I was going to ask what you’ve said about me,” I said to Blaze, “but I’d rather get inside and watch what I came for.” “Oh, right,” Asher replied. “You had a huge crush on Denzel in high school. Of course, you’re here to support him.” Asher pr

  • Their Little White Lie   Birds Of The Feather

    SABRINA MORALES Gabby stood at the snack station, and I waved to catch her attention, but she didn’t notice me. I smoothed my hair back and walked over to join her. Our high school friend Denzel was having his directorial debut film previewed today. He’d sent out what I assumed was a batch email to our old group, so I expected a few more familiar faces to show up. Gabby was grabbing two bags of popcorn when she spotted me. Her eyes lit up, and a small gasp slipped from her lips. Her scanty bangs framed her forehead, partially covering her eyes, while the rest of her hair was styled in two neat French twists. Gaby and I had both been in the same high school drama group, along with Denzel, so it was no surprise to see her here. “Brie!” Gabby called out, her voice warm with recognition. As soon as we were close, she threw her arms around me for a hug. “Ow,” Gabby winced almost immediately. She pulled back. “Shouldn’t have gone in so hard,” Gabby said with a laugh, blowing

  • Their Little White Lie   Spell Stress

    CAROLINE MORALESI kept staring at my laptop screen as the minutes dragged by.Jo was in the house, just not in this room. I could still hear him moving around, going about his tasks while I sat here, doing nothing but staring.The screen was initially white, and it was an empty page on my document.I ran a feminine-centered blog with weekly editions. Alongside that, I was working under contract with two media houses, one of which I served as the chief in-house editor.And then there was my anonymous author profile, where I wrote romance-fantasy books—or romantasy, as most people would call it.I was on my third book, with around five thousand subscribers following my profile and three thousand views on my latest story. Still, I hadn’t updated a single chapter in almost a week.With all that in mind, I continued to stare at the screen until it finally dimmed and went black. My laptop had gone to sleep.Now, it was my reflection that stared back at me.I blinked and leaned in, trying to

  • Their Little White Lie   Selfish Much?

    BLAZE WILLIAMS “What?” Sabrina asked me after I asked her to be my girlfriend. Her eyes were flat, her gaze empty and she lit up instantly like a Christmas light. Sabrina laughed so hard, that her curls bounced as she threw her head back. She stood up, clutching her stomach. “Sabrina…” I called out to her. “This isn’t funny, but I’m…” Sabrina paused, bent over, and held her side. She pulled herself up after a second. Her shoulders were bare. The green bralette she wore was strapless, hugging her body and stopping just above her belly button. “I can’t stop laughing,” Sabrina gasped out, breathless between bursts of laughter. She wiped her eyes, shoulders shaking. I was fed up. I walked over and kissed her. Unlike the times that she would dissolve into the feel of my lips. Those other times that the pause would happen before we would set fire with our lips. Today was different. There was none of that. Sabrina tore away from my grip casting a glare my way. “What is wron

  • Their Little White Lie   It Has To Be A Prank

    SABRINA MORALES A young boy was standing in front of the elevator, his headphones blasting music loud enough for me to hear from across the room. He nodded his head to the beat as he waited for the elevator to return. There was only one elevator, so I stood with him, holding the gift bag under one arm while window shopping on the new Metsy website. “Cute,” I said out loud when a pink pearl jewelry set loaded. I considered buying it. The boy and I locked eyes for a second. I looked away, scrolling past the beautiful jewelry set. Fuck. I wanted it. I swiped back and saved it to my wishlist, then quickly swiped away—as if that would somehow undo what I’d just done. When I looked up, my heart jumped. The boy was peering into my phone, his hot breath filling the tiny space between us. He was lanky, just an inch shorter than me, wearing an orange pullover that completely covered his arms. “What?” I asked, taking a step back. He apologized. “Got carried away. I’ll just…” He point
