My heart slammed so hard against my ribs that for a moment, I was sure Carson could hear it.

The knocking came again—louder this time. More insistent.

“Anna,” Luke called from the other side of the door. “I know you’re in there.”

I froze.

Every nerve in my body went into overdrive as I turned slowly toward Carson. He was still standing by the kitchen island, mug in hand, watching me with an expression that was far too calm for the chaos erupting in my chest.

“That’s… that’s my ex,” I whispered

  • When My Body Learned Your Name   Chapter Seventy Eight

    ANNAI finally closed the door behind me, the familiar click echoing through my dimly lit apartment. The world outside still pulsed with the remnants of the nightclub: the bass in my chest, the laughter ringing in my ears, the faint glitter still clinging to my hair. I dropped my bag on the couch, kicked off my heels, and let myself sink into the cushions, every muscle screaming for rest.My phone buzzed almost immediately. I reached for it, expecting another group message from River and Cole checking in. Sure enough:Cole: You made it home alive?River: Did you survive the bougie jungle?I smiled, my fingers typing quickly.Me: Yes, yes, safe and sound.There was a pause before the next message arrived, and for a moment, I let myself breathe. The apartment was quiet except for the hum of the fridge and the distant sirens outside.But Diana’s words from earlier at the VIP kept looping in my head, relentless and insistent. “He doesn’t take just any girl to his house.” I had tried to sh

    ANNAThe lights in the nightclub had gone from dizzying flashes to a slow, pulsating rhythm, like the beat of a heart trying to settle after a long sprint. River had somehow convinced Cole to attempt a dance-off, and I sat back at the bar, letting the movement wash over me instead of forcing myself into it. That’s when I saw her—Diana.She was leaning against the bar with effortless confidence, a glass of champagne in one hand, the other hand brushing hair out of her face. I recognized her immediately: Carson’s best friend. The one he had mentioned a few times, usually with a half-smile or a shake of his head, as if she could do no wrong.“Anna!” Diana’s voice cut through the music just enough to be heard. She was smiling, warm but not fake, the kind of smile that made you feel like you’d known her longer than you had.I blinked, trying to find the right response. “Diana,” I said finally, my voice uneven. My stomach twisted. Seeing her here—so carefree, so untouchable—made me suddenly

    ANNAThe office smelled of fresh paint and new beginnings—or maybe that was just me convincing myself it wasn’t the same stale corporate air I’d been suffocating under. My new department was… different. Better. Cleaner somehow. Grace didn’t appear once, which was a relief. I didn’t miss her fake smiles or the way she measured people like we were all objects on some inventory sheet.“Anna!” River called from across the room, waving a hand with that signature mischievous grin of hers. “Coffee? Or do you want to be productive for once?”I rolled my eyes, but the laugh that escaped me felt lighter than it had in weeks. “I’ll grab one, but only if you promise not to judge me for drinking it black.”“You?” she said, mock horror etched across her face. “Never.”Cole leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, surveying us with his usual quiet amusement. “You two are ridiculous,” he said, though the corner of his mouth twitched like he was suppressing a smile.Despite the teasing, despite the off

    ANNAThe hand on my mouth was tight, unrelenting, and my stomach dropped as I realized whose voice had just spoken. Cold, venomous, familiar.“Luke.”My voice was barely more than a whisper, but it carried every ounce of disbelief, anger, and fear I felt. I shoved against him with every ounce of strength I had, managing to wrench the hand away and take a staggering step back.He didn’t move, didn’t flinch. His eyes were dark, stormy, and I realized—too late—that whatever control I had thought I had over this night, over my life, had been stripped from me the moment he appeared.“So,” he hissed, the word sharp, slicing the air between us. “You’re just another slut, huh? First my brother… and now me? You really do have a type, Anna.”Something inside me snapped. Something primal, burning, screaming for him to know just how wrong he was. My hand shot out before I even thought, connecting sharply with his jaw. The sting of my own palm reverberated through me, but I didn’t care.“How dare

    ANNAI couldn’t breathe.The air in the room felt thick, suffocating, like it had been sucked out and replaced with something heavier—something that pressed against my chest and refused to let go. My body still trembled, not from pleasure anymore, but from the sharp, disorienting crash that followed it.Luke.The name echoed in my head like a curse.My fingers tightened around the bedsheet, clutching it to my chest as if it could hold me together, as if it could shield me from the reality that had just torn through the fragile illusion I’d been living in.Carson moved across the room, pulling on his clothes with quick, practiced efficiency, like this—like everything that had just happened—meant nothing more than a brief interruption in his day. The casualness of it hit harder than anything Luke had said.“Say something,” I managed, my voice hoarse, uneven.He didn’t look at me immediately. He buttoned his shirt, adjusted his cuffs, then finally turned, his expression composed, control

    ANNAHe walked towards me, grabbed my jaw and pushed me until my knees were on the floor.“Carson…” I called his name, noticing the way my voice quivered.“Shh.” He shushed me. The look in his eyes was foreign to me, dark and scary.Carson made quick work of undoing his pants, and soon enough, I was face to face with his length tucked perfectly in his boxers.Fuck, he was big.“Suck, Anna.”I leaned in, letting my tongue escape the cages of my lips to lick a long stripe of his clothed cock, letting the fabric dampen with my spit.Carson let out a satisfied sigh, and he patted my head softly, his touch gentle and caring.“Go ahead,” he said lowly. “No hands.”I didn't even bother trying to negotiate, and I caught the waistband of his boxers in between my teeth, tugging it down. His length hit the underside of my chin once free, and I wasted no time, licking from the base of his hardened cock to the tip.I wrapped my lips around the head, and sucked.Carson drew in a sharp breath, tight

    ANNABy the time we returned from the conference, the air around us had changed.It wasn’t dramatic.No headlines. No public scenes.Just awareness.The kind that moves quietly through corridors and lingers a second too long in people’s expressions.Conversations paused when we entered rooms togeth

    CARSONIt started with small adjustments.Minor things. Logistical shifts no one would question.I moved a strategy meeting by an hour because Anna had an investor call that couldn’t be rescheduled. I declined a dinner invitation from a board member and claimed fatigue, even though I knew I would st

    CARSONIt started subtly.The shift.At first, I told myself it was natural. Anna had stepped into a bigger role; visibility came with that. More meetings. More presentations. More space at the table.But somewhere between the second investor briefing and the third high-stakes negotiation that week,

    ANNAThe email sits open on my screen for a long time before I finally let myself breathe.We are pleased to formally offer you the position of Personal Investor…I read it again. Slowly. Carefully. As if the words might rearrange themselves if I blinked too fast.They don’t.My hands tremble as I s
