Semua Bab HIS PAST: HIS BRIDE: Bab 91 - Bab 97

BELLA'S POV “Do you want it?” he asks. “Do you want to come for me?” “I want you to make me come,” I say the words aloud, I’ve never uttered those words to a man before. “Derek,” I murmur, and he cups his hand around the nape of my neck. His palm covers my cheek and his thumb presses my lips, he runs it over them before sliding it down, tugging my bottom lip in the process. “Sir,” he corrects me with fire in his eyes and whiskey on his breath. A low groan escapes him, and he kisses me harder, deeper, until I’m clinging to his shoulders just to stay upright. “Make me come,Sir,” I answer his request and his thumb finds my clit again, rubbing it with quick, intentional flicks until I’m bucking my hips against his touch as I ride his hand. Just before I come, he slips his middle finger inside me, moving it in the most delicious motion that sends me over the e

BellaIt was no longer news around town that I was with Derek and people had stopped whispering and had started openly talking about it instead. Somehow, though, nobody had pieced together that he was the father of my children, and thankfully, that part still remained hidden.“Miss Abrahams, please come to my office now,” Mr. Darren’s voice came through the intercom.I sighed quietly.Yeah, I had resumed work this week as my three weeks of vacation were officially over, and honestly, I felt lighter than I had in a very long time.Ever since that night with Derek, we had barely been able to keep our hands off each other, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.With Cole’s help, Derek had gradually slipped back into business smoothly, although something still seemed off, as there was this constant tension in him lately, something heavy he refused to talk about. Sometimes I would catch stress lines on his face when he thought nobody was looking, but aside from that, he had been the sweetes

BELLA“What do you want this time, and how did you find me?” I ask Daniel coldly.Sitting across from the man who had betrayed me years ago feels surreal and I had expected something when I finally see him again maybe anger, heartbreak,or even lingering affection but there was nothing, n ache in my chest or even rapid heartbeat, just numbness and somehow, that scared me more.“Bella, can you stop looking at me like that?” he says softly, staring at me with something that resembles hope but all I can see in his eyes is deception.Before agreeing to meet him, I had made sure Derek is nowhere near this part of town ‘cause the last thing I need is for him to see me sitting with Daniel or meeting anyone connected to the past already feels dangerous enough, I am beginning to think this meeting has been a terrible mistake.“I’m sorry, Bella,” Daniel continues. “I don’t know how many times I have to apologize for what happened, but I am sorry and that’s why I’m trying to put things in place n

BELLAI think it is time I end whatever this is between Derek and me.For the first time in a long while, I can finally understand a little of what he is going through, and that realization terrifies me more than anything else.My heart is getting too attached again. Too involved. Too hopeful.And hope is dangerous.Because if Derek ever finds out about the twins, I have no idea what happens next.The Derek I once knew had been possessive, intense, and impossible to walk away from. What guarantee do I have that he isn't still that same man beneath the memory loss and softened behavior?None.Absolutely none.What if he uses the children against me?What if he threatens to take them?What if loving him again becomes the biggest mistake of my life?"Would you mind joining me today?"Tabitha's voice pulls me from my thoughts.I blink and look up from my desk.The office has finally gone quiet after one of the most exhausting days we've had in weeks.Orders pile up endlessly, customers co
