All Chapters of Wrong Intentions: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

EverettI’ve been awake for a bit, but I haven’t moved. I am not ready to see Aubrey. I remembered quickly, once I woke up, that I had opened my big mouth when I was drunk. I didn’t say too, but it was enough. Aubrey didn’t seem to pick up on what I meant. That is something, I guess. I can’t hide in here all morning. A part of me wants to go home because being around Aubrey so much isn’t good for my sanity. I can’t, though. I am not ready to leave her alone yet.Sighing, I sit up and run my fingers through my hair. The bedroom door opens, and Aubrey comes in with two mugs in her hand, with what I assume to be coffee in them.“Welcome back to the land of the living,” she giggles.She doesn’t seem bothered by last night. I won’t bring it up.“Good morning,”Aubrey strolls over to the bed, handing me one of the mugs before she climbs onto the bed next to me, smiling.“Are you rough?” she asks, taking a sip of her coffee.“No, I am okay. I am sorry if I did or said anything stupid or conf

EverettAnger courses through me as I storm off. It is for two reasons. One, because I saw Aubrey with another man. Two, because I hate how jealous it made me. Yes, that night she went on the date set up by Hugo and Erica annoyed me, but this is different. I wanted to punch him! Aubrey is supposed to be mine! No one else’s. I don’t care if she said they are only friends. I know how men work. He is after something even if Aubrey doesn’t see it.I return to Hugo’s office to continue our meeting, cursing under my breath.“What is wrong with you? You were fine when you left. Now, your face is red, and you seem tense.” Hugo asks, confused.“Nothing, I am fine. Can we finish up? I need to go soon,” I sigh, running my fingers through my hair.Hugo doesn’t seem convinced but nods his head. He knows not to push me. We get back to our meeting. I try not to let what happened get to me and focus. I am eager to get out of here. I don’t want to run into Aubrey. It is time for me to return home. I h

EverettAubrey and I were still on the sofa, only now, we are lying down. She turns to face me, and I make sure to hold her, so she doesn’t roll off the sofa as she does. Aubrey looks up at me. I smile and stroke the hair from her face. Her beautiful eyes are enough to make any man weak to her knees.“We can’t keep doing this, Everett.” She whispers.“I know.”“Then what do we do? Do we stop being around one another? Because it seems like no matter how hard we fight against it, we end up in the same compromising position. I can’t keep doing this. I am not this kind of person until you came along.”The best thing for me to do is agree for us to stop being around one another, but it won’t work, not now. I am in too deep, deep enough that I can’t be pulled back out. Aubrey was not supposed be the woman who made me fall and start to feel things I don’t want. She was supposed to be sex, forbidden, so how the hell did I get here?“Is that what you want? Do you want me out of your life? Say

EverettI purposely got up early to go out and get breakfast and coffee for us both. I was going to make it, but there wasn’t much to make anything with. I left Aubrey a note. I don’t want her waking up, not being able to find me and thinking I have changed my mind and left. I wouldn’t do that. Any fears will be pushed aside. I don’t want to mess this up. If things go to hell, I know it will because of me. I can’t keep thinking about these things, or I will mess it up.I am waiting for my food to be ready when my cell starts to ring. My first thought is that it is Aubrey, but when I take it out, I see Hugo’s name flashing on my screen. Part of me wants to ignore it because I know what I am doing behind his back is wrong. No, maybe bad isn’t the right word. There is nothing wrong with Aubrey and me being together. We are doing it in secret, which makes it wrong. Taking a deep breath, I answer. He will call back if I don’t.“Good morning,” I greet.“Good morning, big brother. How are yo

EverettIt’s not even one in the afternoon, and I am sitting in a bar, nesting my second scotch. I am stressed out. The bar probably wasn’t the best idea, but I didn’t know where else to go. The opportunity to start a new office in London is a great opportunity, not only for the business itself, but also for Hugo and me. If it weren’t for Aubrey, I would have said yes without even thinking about it. Hugo was surprised when I told him I needed to think about it since business has always been my top priority. It took everything in me not to tell him I can’t because I am with Aubrey, but I couldn’t. I am disappointed that Aubrey told me that if I wanted to go, I should. I expected her to tell me not go without adding anything else to it. This is just my luck. I finally find someone I want to be with, someone I don’t want to push away or have nothing to do with and then a great business opportunity comes up. I would ask Aubrey to come with me, but how would we explain that one?I sigh, fin
