It had taken me half an hour to convince myself that I didn't need to overreact, that I could just wait for him to come home and we could handle this amicably but the moment I stormed into the four walls of Killian's company, I felt my anger grow to a measurable length.Fuck my subconscious trying to talk me out of this. I'd had enough of him messing with my life and I wasn't going to deal with his crap anymore. "Mrs. Fobster." His secretary got up at my entrance. Cleo was it? Her eyes filled with surprise. "Good morning, I wasn't-""Where is Killian?" I cut her, not giving two shits about her greeting because I was angry. I was so fucking angry with him. Swear to God, he'd walked over me with this.She blinked twice, silently pointing to his office door. "He's currently having a meeting with the-"I didn't let her finish, I clutched my purse tightly to my side and advanced towards his door. "No, no, you can't!" She yelled after me with sheer alarm in her voice but it was too late b

By evening, after having several more conversations with Maggie about Killian and then her two children, I went into my room for a nap and then saw her off around sometime during sundown.After my shower, I settled on the living room couch in my comfy casuals.I sat crossed-legged in front of the Tv and shoved a bunch of Cheetos in my mouth when a tired-looking version of my supposed husband walked in through the front door. He glanced my way for a quick second before focusing on taking off his shoes. I hid the pack of Cheetos behind the fluffy square cushion and wiped my mouth. "Welcome back." He hummed a reply and walked in and I didn't fail to notice the gift bag that swayed at his side. He placed the back of his hand on my head. "The fevers gone."I smiled. "All thanks to Maggie." He nodded in agreement and then pulled his hand away. "Have you had anything to eat?" I nodded. "Filled to the brim.""Well," Instead of speaking right away, he stretched his arm out and displayed t

Killian The longer Hope lived with me, the harder it was going to be letting her go. Rewind two months back to when it had all started; when she had asked me to do the most outrageous thing ever.Hearing those words right out of her mouth had frozen my bones and made my blood run cold. I couldn't quite wrap my head around why she wanted me to, but one look at those forlorn eyes and I gave in, I did it. I'd made love to her, I'd loved her with my body, and every single day after that, I asked myself the same question. What was wrong with me?I mean, I certainly must have had a screw loose in my brain when I called Jay Ives and bought her those novels. I literally hated romance novels. They gave women unrealistic expectations of romance and relationships that men couldn't live up to. And I didn't get the whole point of drooling over overly endowed men and detailed sex scenes.I checked my time as I entered into my car after purchasing dinner from a nearby Italian restaurant. It was s

HopeMy blood pounded in my ears and my heart raced a million times faster than it should've. I was anxious, tipsy, unsettled, just standing there, tapping my foot on the floor and chewing on my lips as I watched the light ascend the circular buttons on the elevator. I didn't understand why he all of a sudden wanted to see me but I didn't ask, after the call last night, I rushed down here the next morning, feeling a little guilty for lying to Killian but it was a necessary evil. The elevator arrived on the VIP floor and I scrambled out as soon as the doors slid open. Room 16 was just around the corner. The two guards standing by the door nodded for me to enter but I stood there for a moment, valiantly attempting to calm down and gather my thoughts. When my heart steadied to its regular rhythm, and I could breathe normally, I sort to open the door, but someone on the other end beat me to it.The door opened and revealed a doctor. "You must be Mrs. Fobster. The one I spoke to on the ph

Somewhere along the line, I was on top of Hope and trying not to crush her with the weight of my eager body as she pulled her legs open like an invitation to an all-you-can-eat buffet. My eyes wandered between them. She wasn't wearing anything underneath. I groaned. "You were trying to tease me when you wore this nightdress, weren't you?" My lips moved across her cheek to her ear and I nibbled gently on her lobe before moving down her neck to the delectable hollow at the base of her throat."From the moment you walked in I couldn't stop thinking about how much I wanted to ravage you in it," I murmured, kissing my way to her nipple. I teased it first with my tongue, licking around her soft flesh, noting she was bigger than I remembered, more sensitive. I took a nipple into my mouth and kneaded the other, biting, caressing, flicking, marveling at the way she whispered my name and dug her fingers into my hair. "Killian please." She breathed. "I can't take this."I could feel her slick
