บททั้งหมดของ Claimed By My Ex's Rival Hockey Captain: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Orion POV The ride back to my apartment feels different without Bailey's arms wrapped around me. Even though I just dropped her off five minutes ago, I already miss her warmth, her presence and the way she fits perfectly against me.Last night was torture in the best possible way. Holding her, kissing her abd feeling her come undone beneath my touch,only to pull back when every cell in my body was screaming to take what she was offering. But I meant what I said. When we finally cross that line, I want her completely sure.I don't want her to have any doubts or regrets.I am pulling into my building's parking garage when my phone starts buzzing insistently. When I retrieve it from my pockets, coach Williams' name flashes across the screen.Something tells me that things might not be okay. William doesn't make random calls and especially not at eight in the morning on our day off.I kill the engine and accept the call. "Coach?""Hayes." Coach Williams' voice reaches me from the speak

Bailey POVTalia steps inside the room , her phone clutched in her trembling hand. I don't need anyone to tell me that whatever she is about to show us is bad. I can see it written all over her expression.Her lips press together and worry creases her forehead."What is it?" I ask,my voice tight.Truth is I'd rather not see whatever it is Talia wants to show us but I also know that I can't avoid it.Talia doesn't answer immediately. She just walks over and holds out her phone and I notice her hands shaking.I take the phone from her and Orion leans in close so we can both see.It's a social media post from Nolan's verified account, posted fifteen minutes ago.The image hits me first, stealing the breath from my lungs.It's a screenshot of a hospital billing statement. To be precise, my grandmother's hospital billing statement. Her name is clearly written, the surgery details and the fee that I could never have afforded on my own.A red circle is drawn around specific parts– the ac

Bailey POV I watch as Orion walks away, the soft thud of the door announcing his departure.The tears that I had been fighting so hard finally falls free, wetting my cheeks. Talia walks towards me, wrapping her hands around my now trembling body.I break down, my heart breaking as the image of Orion's disappointed look flashes in my mind.Talia doesn't say a word. She doesn't ask me why I said such harsh words to Orion. Deep down, I know she understands me, understands why I chose to push him away.After my sobs reduce to hiccups, she walks to the table in my room and pours me a glass of water.When she hands it to me, I mumble a thank you and gulp the contents down.We remain in a comfortable silence, no questions asked - no opinions given. It's a silent company, the thing I need the most.“ Do you think he will ever forgive me?” I ask, my voice small.Talia sighs, running her hand through her face. I can sense her frustration from those simple actions.“ What do you think?” She f

Bailey POV"Perfect," he breathes. "You're so fucking perfect, Bailey."He murmurs, a worshiping look evident on his face. I don't need to second guess the authenticity of his words. It's written all over his face.His mouth descends on my breast, tongue swirling around the peak before he sucks gently. The sensation shoots straight to my core, and I arch into him with a whimper.I can feel juices dripping from my messy pussy, an ache only he can quench drumming through my body."Orion…" I call in desperation, not even knowing what the hell I want."Shh," Orion soothes, his hands working at the button of my jeans. "I've got you. Just let me take care of you." He whispers gently, as if placating a child.He slides my jeans and panties down my legs, his movements worshipful. When I'm completely bare before him, laid out on his dining table, he takes a step back to look at me, to admire what mama gave me."Christ," he mutters, his hands flexing at his sides like he's fighting the urge to

Bailey POV"Grandma," I start again, my voice breaking. "Please, let me explain…" I don't get to finish before she cuts me off."Explain what?" She asks, her voice thick with emotion. "Explain how you sold yourself to save me? Bailey, how could you think I would ever want that?"I can feel the pain through her words.Behind me, I feel Orion's presence.He doesn't interrupt me,he knows this is my battle to fight.I move slowly toward the couch and sink down beside her, close but not touching. "It's not what you think," I say softly."Then tell me what it is." She sets the phone down with shaking hands. "Because what I see here is that you sold yours to pay for your grandmother's surgery. Bailey, you said we were given a fee waiver and that's why you could afford to pay.” Her voice breaks.“ I lied to you.” I admit in a small voice.“ I knew that you would have asked questions, you would have insisted to go home after the surgery. But grandma, how could I allow that?” I cry, tears stre
