Semua Bab She Stole My Husband I Married His Brother : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Harper's POV:My hands were shaking and I shoved them in my pockets so Jenny wouldn't see."Hi Jenny." I turned away from her and walked back to the driver's side, bending down to check the front bumper and the headlights and thank God there was nothing, not even a scratch. The damage was all on her car, that expensive white thing that probably cost a lot, but I don't care."Coward, so you're just leaving?" Jenny's voice got louder and sharper. "I know you want me dead because if not you won't attack my car like this."I slid back into the driver's seat without looking at her because if I looked at her I'd say something I couldn't take back and I didn't have time for this, not today, not when I was already late and my entire future was waiting inside that building.I started the engine and backed away from her car and she was still yelling but I couldn't hear the words anymore over the blood rushing in my ears. I drove into the Novare Group garage and parked and my chest was so tight

Harper's POV:"Harper?"His hand landed on my shoulder and I flinched. The contact burned through my blouse like he'd pressed hot metal against my skin.I couldn't look at him. Couldn't make my mouth work. The chandelier above us was spinning or maybe I was spinning and the carpet underneath my heels felt like it was tilting sideways."I thought this would make you happy." His voice cracked on the last word."What happened? Why are you just standing there?""I don't..." My throat closed around the words and I had to force them out one at a time. "I don't know how I feel about this, Hardin."The confession spilled faster now and I couldn't stop it, couldn't control the way my voice was climbing higher and louder. "I wanted to get Meridian myself. Me. Not you swooping in like some hero who knows what's best for poor helpless Harper who can't fight her own battles.""So what do you want me to say?" The bitter laugh that came out of me sounded like someone else. "Thank you Mr. Wolfe for w

Harper's POV: "What do you want?" Hardin's voice came out rough and I could still feel where he'd been inside me seconds ago, the heat of him still between my legs. The window rolled down and a middle aged man appeared, smiling too wide like he'd caught us doing something he shouldn't have seen. I twisted toward my window fast and pressed my face against the glass because what had I been thinking, having sex in an open parking garage where anyone could walk by and watch me fall apart on my boss's lap like some desperate woman who couldn't control herself. "Just checking who was in your car," the security man said and his voice had that tone people use when they're being nosy on purpose. "Thought I should make sure everything was alright." My hands were shaking where they gripped my knees and I kept my face turned away because if this man saw me, if he recognized me, tomorrow everyone in the building would know I'd fucked Hardin Wolfe in his car on my first day of work. "Leave."

Harper's POV:My jaw hung open while I waited for Hardin to step back into the kitchen, but the only sound was the hum of the fridge and my own breathing getting louder in my ears. Him leaving like that made no sense, not when I'd just had his hands all over me, not when my body was still humming from what he'd done with that cucumber, and now he was just gone like I'd imagined the whole thing."He just left?" The words came out small and stupid when I finally closed my mouth.I stepped down from the counter and pulled the hem of my nightgown down. I was still sore from the cucumber, but I loved it, loved how it was Hardin pulling it into me, his hand circling me so much I didn't want him to stop ever.God, I should be looking for Hardin, not thinking about how his hands felt inside me."Hardin?" I called out as I stepped into the living room.He was nowhere to be found. It was as if he'd never been in this house with me minutes ago, save the faint smell of his cologne which I was beg

Harper's POV:"Please follow me." Hardin tried to hold my hand, leading me toward his car, but I couldn't make my feet move from where they were planted on the courthouse steps.Jenny's last words kept playing on repeat in my head like a song I couldn't turn off. You really don't know anything, do you?What did she mean by that?"Har..." Hardin's fingers wrapped around mine and I yanked my hand away so hard he stumbled back a step.I didn't know why I did it... except I was so angry with him my skin felt too hot, like I might catch fire right there on the steps. He'd been strange since last night, disappearing without explanation, and now standing here looking at me like I was the one being unreasonable when he was the one with secrets."It's as if I don't even know him anymore," I whispered to myself, but the voice in my head was louder. Well, do you really know him?I turned and walked straight to my car... well his car that I'd brought here this morning when I thought things betwee
