Chapter 21- sweet apologieMatt didn’t go home right away; his phone stayed silent in his grip, Allison’s four-word message was still on the screen.We need to talk.What else was there to say? She’d already said the thing that mattered. The thing that had been circling his skull for hours now.“You used me to prove a point to him.”When the elevator opened onto their floor, the hallway was silent. The same silence that had greeted him every night before he got married, the silence he thought he would never have to come back home to again.The apartment was dim, not dark. There were candles everywhere . Dozens of them, flickering along the console table, the bookshelves, the edge of the kitchen island and there, in the center of the living room, stood Allison.She’d changed. The elegant outfit from earlier was gone, replaced by something that made his throat close. Black lace that hugged her torso, a bodysuit that plunged low between her breasts, the delicate fabric held together by a

Chapter 23 – The board was answerRyan ended the call, cutting off Allison's voice before she could say another word.He didn't call her back, he heart wanted to but he didn't need anyone to tell him that that was a terrible idea. Allison and him had nothing to talk about. Not anymore she made her choice and they both had to deal with it.Instead, he slipped the phone into the pocket of his sweatpants and turned toward the kitchen. Before stepping through the doorway, Ryan pulled his phone back out and sent a quick screenshot of the anonymous text message straight to Marcus."Find out who sent this."Marcus’s reply came back almost instantly. Security is on it. Don't stress tonight.Ryan locked the phone again, fearing that if he kept it on too much he might be tempted to call Allison to find out what he did to her, And he would but this wasn't the right time.Inside the kitchen, Emma was doing what she knew how to do best. Her dark hair was pulled up into a loose, slightly messy kn

Chapter 25- me?She guided them over to a set of light resistance bands, giving Emma a basic row exercise to perform. While Emma pulled on the rubber band, Sienna immediately pivoted back toward Ryan."Your shoulder form was incredible during Saturday's game, Ryan," she said, stepping entirely too close into his personal space as she adjusted a weight rack beside him. She lightly tapped his forearm. "We need to make sure we keep those lats loose for the road trip. Are you free for an extra mobility session tomorrow?"Emma watched them from her station, a sudden, hot wave of irritation bubbling up in her chest. Sienna was blatantly flirting with him, acting as if Emma were nothing more than a ghost standing in the corner. She knew that Ryan and she were not really dating but Sienna didn't know that. What if they were dating sienna would still openly flirt with Ryan like she's not even there.Then Emma remembered the headlines. She remembered the gala, the photos, and the giant diamon

Chapter 27 – Just Breathe"I shouldn't have worn it," she said, her voice dropping into a tense whisper. "If I hadn't put that ring on at the penthouse, none of this would be happening. I always mess things up. The board wouldn't be involved, your sponsor wouldn't be threatening your contract, and you wouldn't have some investigation hanging over your head. Not to talk of the anonymous person who keeps messaging you"Ryan started the engine as he backed out of the space. "Emma, stop."She turned in her seat, startled by his tone but didn't look angry . "You didn't ruin my career." "I made it infinitely worse," she argued, her chest rising and falling fast. "The entire media nightmare started because of a photograph of my hand. I brought this right to your doorstep.""I'm the one who placed the ring on the counter in the first place, maybe i should have kept it better or thrown it away" Ryan reminded her, his voice quiet, dropping into that steady register that usually forced peop

Chapter 29- just getting started(Steamy scene)🔞She snapped her fingers.Pixie and Raven moved like they'd choreographed this. Maybe they did it was their job anyway. Pixie dropped to her knees beside the couch, her small hands working at Matt's belt while still managing to tease and flirt with him. Raven circled behind him, her fingers trailing across his shoulders, his neck, the nape of his hairline."Close your eyes," Onyx commanded.He did.The world became sensational. Raven's lips on his throat, her tongue tracing the tendon from his ear to his collarbone. He had never felt so good. Pixie's hands finally freed his cock from his jeans, Onyx's fingers unbuttoning her clothes, the fabric sliding down her shoulders, revealing breasts that spilled into his waiting palms."Open your mouth," Onyx whispered.He obeyed. Her nipples went straight into his lips, dark and pebbled and tasting like cocoa butter. He sucked, and she moaned, her hips grinding harder against his lap."That'
