NICOLEOne Month Later...As soon as I step out of the courthouse, I breathe a lot easier.I'm finally done with Dan and he's out of my life for good. Well, at least, I hope he'll be out of my life for a long time. He's been sentenced to seven years in prison—not nearly enough for what he did, but it's satisfactory and I won't have to worry about him for some time.In many ways, it's a relief. But at the same time, not nearly as relieving as I expected it to be.I'm numb.I walk past a newspaper stand and my eyes quickly scan the first few newspapers on top. My eyes find an announcement near the bottom of the page. I saw it as I was heading to the courthouse, but now, I'm seeing it again.Roman and Carmen got married.I try not to think about them at all. Some days are harder than most, but for the majority of the time, I succeed. As the days go by, it just gets easier and easier.As for Esmeralda, I haven't heard from her since. She arranged with Haley to drop off the things I left a

NICOLEAs I'm getting ready for dinner with Sebastian's family, Haley knocks on my door."Nicole? Could we have a word?"From the sound of her voice, I can tell that she's upset. I turn my full attention to her, worried. What's going on, I wonder? Haley is rarely in a bad mood. I fold my arms and wait for her to speak while she closes the door behind her."I don't want you to be alarmed," she claims, probably because she can see worry written all over my face. "It's just a question I have for you.""Go ahead," I say softly. "You know we can always talk about anything."Haley flashes me a small, thin-lipped smile. "It's just that I was wondering if you ever saw Roman again after...you know...that whole thing."I inhale sharply and think about my answer, but the truth is that it's hard for me to think clearly when she's asking me something so out of the blue. Haley has never asked me anything about Roman—so this is random. The question took me completely off guard.Instead of answering

NICOLEI moan Sebastian's name as he rocks into me slowly, taking his sweet time with me.My fingers dig into the small of his back, dragging across his skin lightly while his mouth latches onto the side of my neck. I raise my hips to meet his thrusts, getting closer and closer to the edge."Nicole," he moans against my skin. The sound of my name leaving his lips makes shivers race down my spine. I clench my thighs around his hips and my movements become more frantic.His hand moves from the side of my face to my breast, where he teases the sensitive nipple until I whimper. Sebastian's love-making is...tender. Passionate. Loving. When he's with me, touching and holding me, I know he cares. He's the kind of person who wears his heart on his sleeve, so it's impossible not to know how he feels.There's an apology in every kiss he gives me. I know he feels sorry about the way his relatives treated me—and I hate that both of us are in this position.These thoughts fly out of my mind when m

NICOLEIt's the last day of work for the week, and then Sebastian and I will be on the cruise ship tomorrow.I don't like how my stomach churns every time I think about it. I'm not looking forward to it at all—and I hate that I'm approaching it with this state of mind.I'm not letting Sebastian see this side of me, though.The trip won't be a long one. I'll try to focus on the time we'll spend together rather than his family if we do happen to come across them.I have a feeling he won't cut them off the way he claimed he would during the trip. It would be unfair for me to ask him to do so, because at the end of the day, they're family, and if I'm bothered, then I'm the one who should leave.My work day is pretty steady. Sebastian has a few meetings today, so I have lunch right at my table.Some time after four—an hour before we're meant to leave the office for the day—Sebastian's last meeting concludes, and everyone walks out of the meeting room. I turn my head and see him leaning aga

ROMANNikki Monroe will be mine.This time, I'm sure of it, and I won't mess up.One careless mistake is costing me a shit of a lot of effort, but it's worth it. She's worth it. I didn't know what it was like to lose someone while they were still alive and breathing. Every day she's away from me, my longing grows.It's getting to the point where I won't know where to begin once I finally get my hands on her, and my imagination for all things filthy has never failed me before.I miss her taste like crazy, though, my maybe dipping my tongue in her warm, tight, delicious center is the first thing I'll do once I get my hands on her.My dick dents my pants, but I'm seated, so nobody will notice it. I'm seated in a bar across from the restaurant she's in, and from here, I have a clear view of her, even from a distance.She hadn't looked back at me once, so my assumption is she hasn't seen me yet. My initial plan wasn't to approach Sebastian and make my presence known. I wanted to shock her—
