All Chapters of From Best Friend To Fiancé : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

The hum of Roman’s car filled the silence between us as the city rolled by. Familiar places drifted past the window. Restaurants where he had once taken me out to during lunch breaks, bookstores I had shamelessly raided on his dime. Each sight tugged at me, reminders of moments we had shared, moments I had convinced myself meant more than they probably did.My fingers itched against my lap, restless, until they found the engagement ring on my finger. That damned ring. I twisted it absentmindedly, the cool band slipping easily around the joint of my knuckle. My chest tightened with each spin. Sooner or later, I’d have to give it back to him. Maybe even tonight. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe never, if I could avoid the inevitable. But the thought of handing it over felt like I’d be surrendering a piece of myself. Still, I couldn’t risk insulting him. Or worse, insulting his mother, if it had once belonged to her.“You can stop me right there,” I murmured, pointing ahead to the faint glow of my

RomanI stopped her. My hands slid between her knees, gently forcing her thighs apart until she was spread open before me again. I sat back on my heels, looking at her—just really looking.“Fuck…” I whispered, lips parting, chest rising with heavy breaths. She was glistening, swollen, her arousal painting her inner thighs. My cock throbbed at the sight, but this wasn’t about me. Not yet.“You’re… perfect. So beautiful,” I rasped, eyes locked between her legs. “You don’t even know what you do to me.”She whimpered, trying to hide herself from me, but I gripped her thighs, pulling them wider. “Don’t you dare hide from me,” I growled, though my voice shook with need. “Let me see all of you. Please.”~~~~~Savannah The way he stared at me made me burn. Like I was the only thing he’d ever wanted. His gaze alone was enough to unravel me, to make me feel raw and exposed in the best way.When he finally leaned down, his breath ghosted over me, and my hips jerked off the bed. I was trembling,

I swallowed the pill with a gulp of water and with it tried to drown the storm of emotions clawing up my chest. Hours had passed since Roman left, and I’d barely moved, marinating in thoughts that made me feel equal parts pathetic and ridiculous.Why was I even spiraling over this? Why would I even want him to be okay with me getting pregnant in circumstances such as ours—accidentally, unplanned, chaotically so? It wasn’t as if we’d ever sat down and mapped out a life with kids, a future, and matching pajamas. The man already made it clear that he was anti-marriage and anti-kids. And yet… the thought still burned me alive.It was already extreme enough that he came inside me multiple times, all because of my stupid freaking allergy—which I allowed him to do the first time. But letting that reckless desire grow into a whole human being? That was an entirely different level of insane. I tried to rationalize it. I should thank him for being careful. For being safe. For being reasonable

“I did not touch her.” Reese spat, instantly releasing me. For unexplainable reasons, I figured out that the ‘her’ he referred to, wasn't me. The breath I didn’t know I’d been holding in for a long time burst from my lungs. If I hadn’t forced myself to stand tall, I would have crumbled into a pathetic heap on the polished floor, trembling in front of all of them. Only one thought kept circling in my head like a song on repeat… What did he mean by again?“The scene we walked into told a different story, Reese.” The young woman beside Roman’s father leaned forward, her voice sharp as an opera singer but still controlled and not shrill “Still lusting after what belongs to your brother?”Her words cut the air, and I saw the muscle in Reese’s jaw twitch violently. He snapped his head toward her, his teeth bared. “Don’t interfere,” he hissed, his voice guttural like an animal. His eyes flashed with a rage that made me instinctively shrink back, the heat of it directed at her but scorching

I should have known something was wrong the moment Reese claimed he had a migraine this morning.The bastard had faked the whole thing. A ridiculous little stunt just to buy himself more time. I should’ve seen it coming, because of course he would pull something like that. And now, thanks to him, my house has been invaded.My evil father and his harlot of a wife were here. Inside my walls. Breathing my air. Standing on my goddamn floor. And worse—they’d cornered Savannah while I was gone.I’d left for a run to warm-up a bit. Then I took the time to visit Penny before stopping by the store to get a few things for Savannah, including her pills. Reese knew exactly where I’d gone, and he knew I wasn’t giving him the option of staying much longer. He was supposed to be gone before I got back. Instead, I returned to find sleek black cars lined up outside my house like a funeral procession outside my house. The sight made my stomach twist, rage clawing at me from every angle. Inside, the ai
