All Chapters of Resisting the Irresistible: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Tyler POVI stood by the window and looked out at Empire State Building beyond. The street was quite packed, filled with people roaming around Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street. Below, the sound of traffic drifted upward to the sixth floor, even with having the windows closed, I could still manage to hear the noise.My hand reached for the Heineken sitting on the floor beside me. I raised the beer to my lips and tipped my head back as I swallowed hard, past the sudden constriction in my throat. “Fuck!” I cursed under my breath. I’d promised myself that I would not cry, that I would not regret anything. Yet again, saying something and actually doing it were two different things.I raised the beer to my mouth and took a long drink, hoping that somehow alcohol would make me forget what I’d done. Or if it couldn’t, then hopefully I would be drunk e

Autumn POV“Okay, I guess this will have to do.” I stared at the small luggage beside my right thigh. I gave the surroundings one last look as I mentally tried to remember if I accidentally had forgotten about something. Once I was sure that I had turned off the gas and locked the windows and sliding glass door to the balcony, I turned off the lamp and headed for the door.I swung the door open and plowed head-first into a broad chest covered in a white shirt and black coat. I lifted my gaze up until my eyes met his grey eyes and I suddenly remembered that first night when he’d caught me lying about where I lived. That night I ran to him the same way I did tonight, nearly knocking him off with my head (although, who was I kidding, he was pretty well-built, if anything, I would be the one who fell to the ground).

Autumn POV “Seriously, Autumn. I don’t know how you could simply throw away those two years for a guy you just met!”At Steven’s last sentence, I snapped. “Do you think I wanted it to end? I was not the one lying, I was not the one making shit up when in reality, I was actually meeting my ex.” I let out a long exasperated sigh and grabbed a glass of champagne off the tray, ignoring the startled waiter.I knew I had told myself that I would stay away from alcohol and that alcohol did not mend a broken heart yet right now, I felt that alcohol would be the only thing that would calm me down. Maybe I would become an alcoholic. I cursed under my breath as I swallowed the bubbly drink, letting the coolness soothe my troubled mind like iron on a disheveled laundry.

Tyler POV Talking to my long-lost brother was easier said than done. No matter how hard I’d tried to convince him that Dad was a good man, he didn’t believe me. It was no surprise, really. I mean, why would he believe someone he only met two hours ago? Why would he believe someone who had called him an asshole and told him that he wasn’t welcome in the family?I remained in the bar even after Flynn and his girlfriend, Kelsey, had left. I drank steadily from the bottle of champagne I’d asked earlier to cool down Flynn’s mood. Who would have thought that I would be the one downing the alcohol all by myself?“Hey, are you alright, bud?”I turned to see Faith taking Flynn’s seat. She plopped her arms on the cool metal surface and watched me with a frown. “You l

Phraser POV‘Good’ didn’t begin to describe sex with Autumn. It was more than good. More than satisfying. More than anything I’d ever experienced and that alone said a lot since I had had sex with many girls in my life. My whole body felt alive, burning everywhere our bodies touched.If there was one thing I regretted, it was the part where I told her that I loved her. How dumb could I be? No one said anything about love the first time they had sex. I put my elbows on my knees and rested my head on my palms. “Bollocks!”Autumn was taking a bath right now while I had spent the last fifteen minutes trying my best to find a way to rectify the situation or whatever damage I had caused by saying those three words. After I had said those words, she went quiet and told me sh
