LAURA My eyes bounced between his face and his hand on mine. Honestly, I wasn’t even mad that he was putting his hands on me. I was just surprised that he’d taken such a bold move especially considering the fact that we didn’t know each other. Well, we did know each other—just not in the ways that mattered. And maybe I was a little bit alarmed that he was holding my arm right there in the hallway where everyone could see and speculate about all the ways we knew each other. I mean, I didn’t particularly give a fuck if they found out that I’d slept with him—even though it still didn’t mean that I was going to put it out there—I just didn’t want them to think we were something more. And with the way he sat beside me on the jet, stared at me and was now holding my hand, anyone that came up here was going to start thinking that we did know each other far more than on that level. Which wasn’t true. And I didn’t want them getting the wrong idea. He must have seen the alarmed expressio

LAURAI was hanging a gown in the closet when my phone rang from the bed. My mom’s name flashed across the screen when I picked it up and that was when I remembered that I was actually supposed to call her yesterday to let her know that I’d arrived safely. Answering the call, I placed the phone against my ear. “Hey, Mom.”“Hey, munchkin,” Her raspy voice drifted across the speakers, “How are you, love?”I sighed as I dropped down on the foot of my bed, the sound of her voice causing a sense of calm to wash over me. “I’m good. I was so tired yesterday, I forgot to call you like I said I would.” I told her, “I was just unpacking when you called.”She hummed and I heard a steady tap on a table top. I immediately knew that she was drumming with her fingers on the table. Mom had a lot of… habits.“I’m glad to hear that you arrived safe.” She coughed. “How’s Balery?”Pretending that I hadn’t heard her cough, I said, “She’s doing really good. I swear, she and Jack look ten times better th

He closed the door quietly and leaned back on it, his eyes tracking me from where I stood a few feet away from him. “Get on the bed.”I folded my arms across my chest. “Why don’t you get on the bed?” “Do you want my mouth on you or not?”That had me hurrying to the bed so fast, I tripped over my own feet and almost landed on the ground. Luckily, I caught myself and stood in front of the bed, my hands going to the bands of my panties to drag them down. “No,” Alex’s voice stopped me. “Don’t take them off.”Confused, my hands dropped and I sat down on the bed, staring at him expectantly. When he just continued to stand there and eat me up with his eyes, I scowled. And scowled even more when a grin broke out across his face and he laughed, transforming from gorgeous to devastating in a split second. “You’re one impatient little thing, aren’t you?”“Well, I’m here and you’re all the way over there.” I lifted a brow, “Care to explain why that is?”He pushed off the wall and took slow, pr

LAURA The week had gone by peacefully for lack of a better word. In that space of time, I’d learnt that my mom’s organs weren’t getting worse, but they weren’t improving either. It wasn’t really something to celebrate, but I was glad to hear that her situation wasn’t getting worse.I’d also gotten in touch with Bailey and she’d told me that business was doing really well. I was so happy to hear that my absence hadn’t affected things at all. I’d always known that she was a good assistant, but I was starting to think it was time to give her a raise. She deserved it. It was a particularly hot day today and I’d decided to go for a swim. I mean, what was the point in staying at a beach house when you never actually swam at the beach? I wore jean shorts over my panties, grabbed a small towel, my phone, and went outside. I swam for a bit, sticking to the shallows because even though I loved swimming, I loved my life more, and then swam some more. Swimming made me horny and the longer I

LAURAHe slanted his lips over mine, dominating the kiss and I sighed, stretching on my toes to keep my lips on his.He bent his knees so that he could kiss me better, seeing that I was struggling, and cupped my ass through my shorts, squeezing.I moaned into his mouth, leaning fully into him because my legs were like jelly from my orgasm, unable to carry my weight anymore. His dick that hadn't really gone down even after his release, dug into my bare stomach, already growing hard at a fast pace.Out of nowhere, I remembered that I'd done what I came here for. So what was I still doing here?Pulling away from him, I blinked lazily, trying to clear the fog of lust I was currently immersed in.He was staring at me with an odd look on his face, the lines of his shoulders relaxed now that I'd helped him take the edge off. His jaw was relaxed, his lips pink and swollen from the kiss and his eyes bright and lively.Fuck, he was so beautiful. His hair was still perfect, not a strand out of p
