Ethan deepened the kiss, his lips pressing harder against mine as I clutched the fabric of his shirt tightly in both hands. My heart was hammering out of rhythm, a wild flutter of butterflies taking flight in my stomach.​He pulled back suddenly, his dark eyes locking onto mine with an absolute, possessive hunger. "Yes, I own you," he murmured, a confident smirk spreading across his lips.​ Before I could even part my lips to protest, he captured my mouth again in another breathless kiss. When he finally broke away, he leaned close to my ear. "You practically belong to me, Katherine. You just don't know it yet."​ He left me standing there in utter shock as he casually turned and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. I pressed my hand against my chest, trying to calm my racing heart. The scariest part wasn't how possessively he had said it—it was the fact that he wasn't lying. Deep down, I actually felt the exact same way.​ To distract myself, I walked over to my su

Ethan looked at me for a long moment before clearing his throat. "Nothing, babe. I'm fine," he said, stepping closer to me and smoothing over his tense posture. "How was the morning exercise?"​"Don't change the subject," I told him, folding my arms. "You were just yelling on the phone a second ago. You're clearly not okay. What's wrong?"​"Well, it's nothing serious," he said, his voice dropping into a calm, dismissive tone. "Just family issues."​I decided not to pry any further. It was obviously private, and I didn't want to push him into a corner.​"Come sit," he murmured softly, extending a hand. He led me over to the massive bed and pulled me down so I was sitting squarely in his lap. "The jersey looks really good on you, love. Honestly, you should just take all my clothes."​I smiled at his playful tone. "No, thank you. The attention was way too much today."​Then something suddenly clicked in my mind. "How about your Nike deal? Any news?"​"Not yet," he said, winking at me pla

​"Hello, love," Ethan greeted smoothly as he stepped back into the suite.​"Why did you take so long?" I asked him, leaning back on the bed with a pout.​"Sorry, my baby," he murmured, crossing the room and pressing a soft kiss to my forehead. "Felix kept dumping half the store into the cart." He reached into a plastic bag and handed me a familiar foil pouch. "I got you your favorite chips."​"Thank you, baby!" I beamed, tearing open the bag and immediately popping a chip into my mouth.​A sharp knock at the door interrupted us.​"Come in!" Ethan called out.​The door opened, and Felix and Janice strolled in, taking a seat on the sofa directly across from us.​"Hi, girl!" Janice greeted in her signature, booming voice.​"You're way too loud, Janice," I chuckled, shaking my head before turning to Felix. "How do you cope with her?"​Felix shrugged, throwing an arm around her shoulder. "I guess love is blind."​"Come on, babe, are you tired of me already?" Janice asked, pouting dramatica

​I woke up to the shrill blare of my alarm, rubbing my eyes and cursing the person who invented education.​The weekend had flown by far too quickly. I sighed, dragging myself out of bed and into a quick shower before pulling on my school uniform.​As I stood in front of the mirror styling my hair, my phone vibrated on the nightstand. I picked it up, expecting a message from Janice, but it was from Ethan:​I'm outside to take you to school, Katie Berry.​A soft smile tugged at my lips. I quickly finished up my hair, grabbed my bag, and headed downstairs. My parents were already out for work, so I locked the front door behind me.​Ethan was leaning against his car, beaming as I stepped onto the porch. He walked around to open the passenger door for me. The moment I climbed inside, he slid into the driver's seat, pulled me into a tight hug, and rained soft kisses all over my neck.​I giggled, my hands resting against his chest. "I missed you so much, baby."​"I missed you, too," he murm

​"What are you doing?" Ethan asked in a low, gravelly tone, his eyes darkening instantly as my shirt fell to the floor, revealing my lace panties and bare chest.​"Earlier, you asked me if I wanted anything," I whispered, stepping forward and straddling his lap.​"Yes, but I..."​I didn't let him finish. I slammed my mouth against his, and he responded with immediate, breathless passion. His large hands gripped my hips, pulling me tight against him as he deepened the kiss. In one fluid motion, he flipped us over, hovering over me on the mattress.​"I don't think I'll be able to hold myself back," he murmured against my lips, his breath heavy. "Let's go to sleep, love."​"No, I want you so bad," I told him, tugging urgently at his shirt.​He held my gaze for a long second before nodding. He pulled off his shirt and discarded his shorts, leaving him in just his boxers.​"Are you sure?" he asked, searching my face.​I nodded, biting my bottom lip. Slowly, he dragged my panties down my le
