A Game Of Temptation 12
LAURA My eyes bounced between his face and his hand on mine. Honestly, I wasn’t even mad that he was putting his hands on me. I was just surprised that he’d taken such a bold move especially considering the fact that we didn’t know each other. Well, we did know each other—just not in the ways that mattered. And maybe I was a little bit alarmed that he was holding my arm right there in the hallway where everyone could see and speculate about all the ways we knew each other. I mean, I didn’t particularly give a fuck if they found out that I’d slept with him—even though it still didn’t mean that I was going to put it out there—I just didn’t want them to think we were something more. And with the way he sat beside me on the jet, stared at me and was now holding my hand, anyone that came up here was going to start thinking that we did know each other far more than on that level. Which wasn’t true. And I didn’t want them getting the wrong idea. He must have seen the alarmed expressio

LAURA If there were two things that could make me wake up early, it was work and food. I was on vacation, so it defiantly wasn’t work, which left us with only one option—food. And that was exactly why I found myself in the kitchen at 6am. The kitchen was stocked full and it was quite easy to find my way around it. I fixed myself a cup of coffee and some toast, before parking my ass on one of the stools by the island. Placing my breakfast in front of me, I dove into it. I was so caught up in eating that I didn’t notice when another person walked into the kitchen. It wasn’t until they were pulling a chair out on the other side of the island that I took note of the presence. My head flew up, the piece of toast pausing mid-way to my mouth. When my eyes locked on striking blue ones, I blinked. “Hello.”“Hello,” he parroted, his eyes lighting up even more than they already were—if that was even possible. His blue eyes were so humour filled, one would think I was putting on a show. A c

LAURAI was hanging a gown in the closet when my phone rang from the bed. My mom’s name flashed across the screen when I picked it up and that was when I remembered that I was actually supposed to call her yesterday to let her know that I’d arrived safely. Answering the call, I placed the phone against my ear. “Hey, Mom.”“Hey, munchkin,” Her raspy voice drifted across the speakers, “How are you, love?”I sighed as I dropped down on the foot of my bed, the sound of her voice causing a sense of calm to wash over me. “I’m good. I was so tired yesterday, I forgot to call you like I said I would.” I told her, “I was just unpacking when you called.”She hummed and I heard a steady tap on a table top. I immediately knew that she was drumming with her fingers on the table. Mom had a lot of… habits.“I’m glad to hear that you arrived safe.” She coughed. “How’s Balery?”Pretending that I hadn’t heard her cough, I said, “She’s doing really good. I swear, she and Jack look ten times better th

LAURA“Why wasn’t I invited to this party?”I turned my head and found Jack strolling towards us, a bright smile on his face. He was wearing khaki shorts and a button down shirt, the whole beach look. Balery quickly created space for him and he dropped down on the bench next to her leg. “It’s a girls only party,” I told him. “You’re only getting away with it because you’re the best friend’s husband.”“That, I am.” He grinned, then leaned down and kissed his wife. Letting out a sigh of content, I closed my eyes and laid my head back on the bed. Those two were going to be kissing for a long time. Might as well give them sone privacy by showing them that I wasn’t watching. Balery wasn’t a big fan of PDA, but Jack was. He could barely keep his hands off of her and she, in turn, loved every bit of his affection. She’d probably decided to suck it up when she finally realised that she couldn’t eat her cake and have it. “You lovebirds are going to make us singles start feeling like shit.”

He closed the door quietly and leaned back on it, his eyes tracking me from where I stood a few feet away from him. “Get on the bed.”I folded my arms across my chest. “Why don’t you get on the bed?” “Do you want my mouth on you or not?”That had me hurrying to the bed so fast, I tripped over my own feet and almost landed on the ground. Luckily, I caught myself and stood in front of the bed, my hands going to the bands of my panties to drag them down. “No,” Alex’s voice stopped me. “Don’t take them off.”Confused, my hands dropped and I sat down on the bed, staring at him expectantly. When he just continued to stand there and eat me up with his eyes, I scowled. And scowled even more when a grin broke out across his face and he laughed, transforming from gorgeous to devastating in a split second. “You’re one impatient little thing, aren’t you?”“Well, I’m here and you’re all the way over there.” I lifted a brow, “Care to explain why that is?”He pushed off the wall and took slow, pr

LAURAWith the look he gave me, you’d think I had sprouted a second head. “What do you mean we’re not having sex?”“I’m sorry, but we’re not.”I actually was sorry. I could see how hard he was, how badly he wanted this and it also wasn’t fair that I’d gotten him to this point only to stomp on the brakes. I mean, I wanted this too. I wanted it so much that my core pulsed and clenched around emptiness, aching to be filled with his length, but at least I’d gotten two orgasms. He’d gotten zero.But it just couldn’t happen no matter how bad we both wanted it. “Why?” He ran his eyes over my body, heat filling his eyes anew at the sight of my nakedness. “Are you okay? Is something wrong?”“I—” I shook my head, dragging the sheets over me and letting them pool on my thigh. It felt hypocritical to be telling him we weren’t going to have sex when I was still naked in front of him, but I still needed him distracted which was why I left my breasts bare. “I’m fine. There’s nothing wrong.”He nod

LAURA The week had gone by peacefully for lack of a better word. In that space of time, I’d learnt that my mom’s organs weren’t getting worse, but they weren’t improving either. It wasn’t really something to celebrate, but I was glad to hear that her situation wasn’t getting worse.I’d also gotten in touch with Bailey and she’d told me that business was doing really well. I was so happy to hear that my absence hadn’t affected things at all. I’d always known that she was a good assistant, but I was starting to think it was time to give her a raise. She deserved it. It was a particularly hot day today and I’d decided to go for a swim. I mean, what was the point in staying at a beach house when you never actually swam at the beach? I wore jean shorts over my panties, grabbed a small towel, my phone, and went outside. I swam for a bit, sticking to the shallows because even though I loved swimming, I loved my life more, and then swam some more. Swimming made me horny and the longer I

LAURA I kicked the door shut and turned, my eyes making a quick sweep of his room. It was exactly like mine. Same design, same light blue painted walls, same queen-sized bed. The only difference was probably the view from our windows since they were on opposite sides of the house. I walked over to the dresser to place my phone on it and draped my towel over the back of a chair. When I turned back around, I caught him watching me with calculative eyes. My presence was probably throwing him. Good. Putting an extra say in my hips, I walked slowly over to him. I ran a finger down the valley between my boobs and his eyes followed the movement, flaring with heat. “When you walk, it’s like a revelation.” He rasped, throat bobbing as I came closer to him. Even though his eyes were filled with heat, he stepped back. “I’m not up for one of your games, Laura.”I cocked a brow. “Who said it’s a game?”“It’s all games with you.” He sighed, shook his head and pushed off the door, moving to sid
