CHAPTER 21

ANN“You can take a shot if you don’t want to do the dare,” Duke said.“Come on,” David cut in quickly. “That’s the easy way out. This is simple.”I almost laughed. Nothing about my life right now is simple. I knew I had to do it.If I backed out, Lisa would have more reason to watch me, question me, dig into things I wasn’t ready to explain.“Dare accepted,” I said.I stood up.Walked straight to Louis; before I could think too much about it, I sat on his thighs and leaned in.The room erupted into cheers and whistles from the boys. I shut it out and reached for his lips.The kiss was slow, just like I remembered from years ago.Louis had always been a good kisser. He took his time, never rushing to swallow both lips. Unlike years ago, this one feels empty. There is no pull or emotion behind it.I was acting for Lisa. In the middle of the kiss, Duke's face flashed in my head.By the time I pulled away, the time was already up. It felt longer than it should have.“I could pay to watch

CHAPTER 22

ANNIt was Harry.He was about to throw another punch, but I grabbed his arm quickly and dragged him outside.“You should have let me finish him,” he said, still angry.The tension in me slowly melted away.“Thank you, Harry,” I said softly. “I appreciate it.”“It’s nothing,” he replied. “Come on, I’ll take you home. I’ll send someone to bring your car.”When we got back, Duke was pacing outside, his phone pressed to his ear.The moment he saw me step out of Harry’s car, he stopped.“Looks like someone’s been waiting for you,” Harry said lightly.I didn’t respond. I already knew Duke had been trying to reach me. My phone had been off the whole time.I had only sent Louis a message about leaving.“Thank you for today,” I told Harry. “I’ll head in now.”Duke followed me inside immediately.“You can’t keep doing this,” he said the moment the door closed. “Shutting me out every time something goes wrong. You left without a word. Your phone has been off. And now you’re out with him.”His v

CHAPTER 23

ANNMy hand slowly slipped off the door handle. Lisa and Duke were locked in a hot kiss. The kind that made it clear I wasn’t supposed to be there.They didn’t even notice the door had opened. I stood there for a second too long before quietly closing the door and moving back. I moved fast enough to keep myself from breaking.By the time I reached the stairs, my chest was aching very badly.“Is everything okay, Ann?” Luna asked softly.“Yes,” I said, forcing my voice to stay normal, “Please, don’t tell Duke I came by. He’s busy. I don’t want to disturb him. I’ll see him another time.”She hesitated, then nodded.“Okay.”I didn’t wait. If I stayed one more second, I would fall apart in front of her.*****I don’t remember how I drove home. I just know I got there somehow because my vision had been blurred the whole time while I was driving. I have been crying so hard.I pulled into the driveway but didn’t get out. I stayed in the car, still and empty, staring ahead without seeing anyth

CHAPTER 24

DUKECoach was discharged today. I volunteered to bring both him and Ann home. Not because I had nothing to do, but I couldn’t stay away. I have tried so hard to fight these feelings, heaven knows I tried; the more I fought it, the stronger it became. Seeing Ann cozy with Louis pricks my chest. I have never loved a woman in a way that I want her all to myself; this feeling scared me.She had already been through too much. The last thing she needed was another man confusing her, making her think all he wanted was her body.“I miss her,” I muttered under my breath.There were days I wanted to pull her into my arms and hold her there. Days I wanted to hear her laugh again, to see her look at me like I was the only person in the room, kiss her, and do some crazy things with her.She wouldn’t even look at me.“We’re here,” I said, stepping out and opening the door for them.I grabbed my bag from the trunk and dragged it inside.“What’s with the bag?” Louis asked. “I don’t think that’s min

CHAPTER 25

CHAPTER 23ANNI saw Duke walking toward us, perfect timing. I stepped out of the pool slowly, letting the water trail down my skin, and intentionally shook my ass. I didn’t look at him directly, but I knew he was watching. I walked over to Louis and sat on his thighs, wrapping my arms loosely around his neck.If Duke thought he could play with me and walk away as if nothing happened, then he clearly didn’t know me.“Are you feeling better?” I asked Louis, brushing an imaginary speck off his shoulder, just to keep the act going. “Your doctor is coming tomorrow, right?” “I’m fine,” he said, smiling. “Having you around makes it easier. Maybe this accident came at the right time.”I laughed lightly and tapped his arm.“You’re impossible.”“I’ll go dry off,” I added, standing up. “I’ll bring you some fruits.”As I predicted, Duke followed me inside. Before I could move further, Duke grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his room, shutting the door behind us. “What are you doing? Let go

CHAPTER 26

ANNMy heart jumped. How did I not notice it? This is the moment I need my brain to come up with something.Think, Ann. Think.“Are you just seeing it now?” I said quickly, forcing a small laugh. “You remember the day you got discharged from the hospital? I went to get coffee at the café.”I kept my tone light.“Then out of nowhere, this man grabbed me from behind and kissed my neck. He thought I was his girlfriend. Can you imagine?”I shrugged like it was nothing. I am becoming too good at lying freely without wobbling. If what I said made sense, it's up to Louis to believe.Duke laughed.“That guy is crazy.”“Yes,” I said. “Very crazy.”Louis didn’t say anything.He just smiled and continued eating.I left early the next morning for the salon. I only met the chef and the cleaner that early, before I left.Louis has always been weird, not allowing strangers to sleep in his house. While we were dating, he never took me to his house. When I got there, one of the girls stopped me.“Be

CHAPTER 27

ANNI didn’t know which was more absurd. The fact that I couldn’t carry a child or the offer she had just made.Either way, this woman must be insane. “Why do you want me to do something like that for Louis? He’s an adult. He can make his own choices.”She tilted her head slightly.“As if attraction needs permission,” she said calmly. “You should see it as an opportunity and a privilege. He is attracted to you.”I stared at her.“I can’t give you what you want,” I said finally. “And right now, I’m exhausted. I need to rest.”For a brief second, surprise flashed across her face; it disappeared, replaced by that same crooked smile.“You’re not as soft as you look,” she said, brushing a strand of hair away from my face. “Think about my offer. I won’t ask twice.”Her voice dropped slightly.“And trust me, life can get much harder than it already is. I can make that happen.”She walked out. Even after she was gone, I felt cold from what she said, the darkness in her tone. I had a long b

CHAPTER 28

ANNNot in my wildest imagination would I picture this. Duke’s mother and David are kissing and smooching so hard that her dress is on the ground. Is Louis inside there? I thought I saw his car. This family is messed up.I tiptoed away from the window to where the car was parked. My eyes caught the plate number.It wasn’t Louis’s car. I got it wrong.I hurried back to my car, my head struggling to process everything. This little detective work I gave myself is messing with my head.Back at Louis’s house, he was getting out of his car at the same time as I was.This was it. I’ve had enough.“Are you gay, Louis? Is that why we never had sex when we were dating? Why? Why didn’t you tell me? Do you know how that makes me feel?” I said everything at once.I’m tired of everyone playing me. This isn’t about his sexuality; it’s about the lies. Why lead me on when his heart is somewhere else?“What are you saying?” he replied quickly. “No, I’m not. I’m straight. I’m attracted to women. I would

CHAPTER 29- FUCK ME HARD

ANNI had been looking at the boiling kettle, but my mind was far stretched. I don’t know what Duke has done to me; I can’t seem to take him out of my mind. I kept going through his social media pages, looking and admiring his pictures, his hands that do magic to my soul and body.I can’t be falling for him, not Duke. I will only get hurt at the end. My focus should be on Louis, not on his nephew.“Good morning, princess.”Louis said, dragging me out of my thoughts. He kissed me lightly on the lips. I haven’t been getting used to being his girlfriend again.The first time was a charm; this time around was totally different. “Good morning. Your hand, how is it?”“Fine, I guess.”I followed his eyes, and they landed on my nipples. It better not be what I think it is. “Ann, I will be needing a huge favour from you. You remember I told you about the meeting I have in San Francisco tomorrow.”Yes, he mentioned something of that. “Yes.”“I don’t think I can make it. I’m not feeling strong

CHAPTER 30: MAKE ME CUM

CHAPTER 28ANNI simply stood there as he carefully cleaned me, using moist wipes to gently wipe around my pussy and his cum splash.“You have the most tempting pussy. Never think I could get addicted to something like this,” he murmured.Was that meant as a compliment? If so, it fell flat.“I saw the blank check,” he continued, “in your bed. It had my mother’s signature. I know her well; she’s obsessed with getting her brother hooked. So tell me, why are you dating Louis?”I clenched my fists behind my back. I pushed open the lavatory door and walked out, ignoring his question, though I could hear him smirking behind me.############Finally, in San Francisco, the female concierge was reviewing our reservation. She was clearly smiling at something Duke had said to her.Pathetic flirting already. He was garnering all their admiration, typical superstar privilege.“Let’s go, Ann.”Now I was suddenly Ann. What happened to my love? I led the way, even though I didn’t know my way around.
