All Chapters of Built Like Karma: The Plus Size Girl's Guide to Comeuppance : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Aria’s POVAs I step back out into the party, it hits me all over again how wild this looks. People are still acting like we’re at a club in the middle of nowhere instead of a baby shower in someone’s backyard. But honestly, I get it. Most of these people don’t get out much during the week, so when they do, they do it. The DJ has the music thumping, bodies moving, laughter spilling everywhere. I can’t help but laugh to myself as I weave through the crowd.I make my way to the bar and ask for one of the non-leaded signature drinks. When they hand it to me, I take a sip and damn, it’s really good. The fresh fruit, the flavor, hell everything about it is perfect. If I wasn’t pregnant, I’d absolutely be getting it leaded, extra liquor and all.I chuckle under my breath at the thought and slowly make my way toward the dance floor.The music pulls me in, and I start swaying my hips, letting my body move with the beat. I spot my mother dancing, actually dancing, and she makes her way over to

Aria’s POVI slip out of the room quietly, pulling the door closed behind me. The first thing I do is reach for the robe I tossed over the chair last night. My outfit underneath is… definitely not appropriate for my sister’s house, especially not first thing in the morning. I’m grateful I had the foresight to bring a robe with me, because without it, I’d be giving the whole household a show.As I tie it securely and head toward the kitchen, I’m immediately met with the sight that makes my heart swell.Amara is standing near the counter, glowing in that soft, maternal way only pregnancy can give you. She’s look so peaceful, so content, like she knows the babies inside of her are exactly where they’re supposed to be.I walk over and press a quick kiss to her cheek. “Hey, girl.”She smiles at me. “Hey.”“How are you feeling?” I ask.She exhales slowly, like she’s soaking it all in. “Honestly? I feel blessed. I feel great. The baby shower turned out excellent. Though I think a lot more p

Talia's POVI pace the length of my little-ass condo, barefoot, phone pressed to my ear, irritation buzzing through my veins like electricity. Every step feels too loud in the quiet space, my nerves already fried before my mother even opens her mouth.“I told you to go in calm and pleasant, didn’t I, Talia?” my mother says coolly.I scoff, dragging a hand through my hair. “Mother, what the fuck do you mean? I did exactly that. I grabbed my gift, walked through the gate and immediately everyone was on me. Every single person.”She hums, unconcerned.“And Tucker Todd?” I continue, voice rising. “That man looked like he wanted to kill me. I mean literally kill me with his bare hands. You should’ve seen his face. It was insane.”She laughs. Actually laughs. “Oh, please. Tucker is a teddy bear. He’s not nearly as mean as people make him out to be.”“You didn’t see his eyes,” I snap. “He looked feral.”She sighs, steering the conversation back on track. “So you dropped off your gift. Then w

Jalen’s POVI pace Parker’s living room like a caged animal.Back and forth. Back and forth.Parker and Sybil sit on the couch, both pretending to scroll their phones but really just waiting and watching me, listening to the sound of my shoes against hardwood like it might tell them something about how bad this is eating me alive.The doorbell rings.I don’t even think.I beat Parker to the door and yank it open.Patrick stands there with Amara beside him, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach. Relief floods my chest so fast it almost knocks the air out of me.“Come in,” I say immediately, pulling my brother into a hug. I wrap Amara up too, careful but tight.Patrick laughs. “Yeah, yeah. Walking into my brother’s house like you own it.”Sybil chuckles from the couch and stands to hug them both. “Hey, you two.”I exhale hard, rubbing a hand over my face. “Sorry, bro. I’m just...” I stop myself. “I’m anxious.”Patrick helps Amara sit before dropping onto the couch across from Pa

Explicit Scenes Ahead Jalen’s POVI wake up this morning with a smile already on my face.Not because I slept well, though I barely slept, but because I hear the alarm going off on her phone, and I know without even opening my eyes that it’s gotta be around five-thirty a.m. Maybe earlier. She’s disciplined like that. Always has been.I try to reach for the phone, but I can’t move.Not even a little.Because I’ve got this naked, warm, perfect woman tucked into me like she belongs there with her head resting on my shoulder, her leg draped across my waist, her hand splayed out on my chest like it’s claiming me as her territory, and my body is already awake, my cock is already responding, already remembering that we damn near went at it half the night.I inhale slowly.I want to move. I really do. But she’s got me pinned in the best way possible, and my body is very aware of her in ways that aren’t exactly helpful this early in the morning.I sigh to myself and make the executive decisi
