Lilith's POV:I seriously would live off the coffees and nothing else, if i could get away with it. I had done that a couple different days and by the end, I was shaking all over but my house had gotten incredibly clean.“We have a couple more interviews to do today, with the last of the previous employee’s. I want you to go through the applications that have come in over the week and weed through them. Find the best candidates and schedule them for next week to come in for interviews. We need to get those positions filled as soon as possible,” Finn said, as he finally looked up.Unfortunately for me, when he looked up, i was busy staring at his body in inappropriate places. His brows rose and i couldn’t stop the deep flush that stained my cheeks. I turned away from him, praying he’d just pretend it hadn’t happened.I needed to get out of his office, because every time i looked at the table, I pictured myself sitting there with him between my thighs. I nodded my head and then prete
“I’m sorry,” Lilith hiccupped at him. then pulled away and headed into the bathroom. She didn’t come out for a while. It gave him time to go to his computer. He had to do some research on her, to find out what he could about her life. He wanted to know if she’d been married when her son was born and if she was currently married. He needed to know what was going on in her life.Finn knew it was going to take a while but he’d find the information he wanted. Lilith finally walked out of the bathroom, looking much more composed.“Finn, we’ve finished with all the interviews today and I can easily take my lap top home and go through the applications. I haven’t had a personal day in years and would really like to take one now. I wouldn’t normally ask but I would appreciate it if you would let me head out early today,” she asked, with her shoulders back and her head held high. She was expecting to have to argue with him."That will be fine. Just have those names ready for me Monday morning,”
Finn's POV:I needed to get some answers and there was no way in hell I was waiting until Monday morning. I decided I was going to her house right then. I looked up her address and was shocked by the neighborhood. It wasn’t the poorest district but certainly not what she was used to. Hell, her father still lived in a mansion; well he did until he was forced to place it on the market.She lived in a lower middle class neighborhood and the house had about as much square footage as my bedroom. I didn’t get it. I glanced at the clock and was frustrated to realize it was close to midnight. i'd been sitting at my computer all day and night. i'd have to wait until the morning before going over there. It was going to be a long, sleepless night.I walked out to my car and couldn’t help myself from driving in the direction of her place. I had to see if it was really in the type of neighborhood i’d looked up. It took me about thirty minutes to reach her neighborhood and it was exactly as i'
Lilith's POV:I woke up to the sound of pounding coming from somewhere. I wasn’t ever a morning person but the insistent pounding was putting me in a far worse mood than i normally woke up in.I climbed out of my bed and stumbled down the stairs, not bothering to put on a robe to cover up my old t-shirt and short boxers. If the person was rude enough to wake me up early on a Saturday, then whoever it was could deal with my bedtime apparel.I knew my hair would be frightening and my eyes still only half slits. Perhaps i'd scare the unwanted visitor enough to never call so early again. I yanked open the door, “What do you want at this ungodly hour?” i snapped before looking up.I gasped at the sight of Finn standing on my front porch. He didn’t look too happy. I had no clue what he could possibly be doing on my front doorstep at any time, much less so early on a Saturday.“Is that how you greet all your guests?” he asked, with a mocking smile.“Number one, you’re not my guest and number
Finn's POV:I reached an open doorway and could smell her scent drifting out to me. I knew it was her room. I strode through the doorway and lay her down on the bed, stripped my clothing away and then pressed down into her, connecting our lips once more, before either of us could realize we were making a mistake.I broke contact with her only long enough to pull the shirt over her head and yank the shorts off. I threw them, not caring where they landed. I was finally stretched out against her fully, skin to skin. my body was so on fire that I was most likely burning her. I couldn’t stop touching Lilith. my hands roved from her beautiful breasts, down her thighs and back up again.I finally stopped kissing her, only to trail my lips down the smooth column of her throat. I licked along the pulse point, feeling my own skip a beat, as I realized how quickly hers was pounding. She’d been passionate when we were young; she was downright exotic as an adult. I reacquainted myself with
Lilith's POV:“I…I…d…don’t know why that keeps happening,” I sputtered to him, as my cheeks filled with color.“Because we have undeniable chemistry,” he said, with his trademark, cocky smile. He was feeling pretty good at that moment. it looks to me like he hadn’t planned on starting his day out ravishing me but he could think of far worse things he could’ve been doing.“I don’t sleep with strangers,” I blurted out.“We’re not strangers Jasmine, so don’t try that crap on me. You were a virgin the first time I took you and from the feel of your body, you haven’t taken too many more lovers,” he said, with far too much confidence. He was laying there in all his naked glory and my eyes strayed to his still half aroused body part. I quickly snapped my gaze back to his face and then my eyes narrowed as his grin became full-fledged.I reached out and slapped him hard once again before he had time to react. His smile was wiped away and he pounced on me before I could scramble away. The s
Finn's POV:I didn’t know which emotion to embrace first. I realized my son had asked me who I was and I also realized Lilith was sitting there like a deer caught in an oncoming car’s headlights.“I’m your dad,” I said. I heard Lilith's intake of breath and didn’t even bother to look over at her. I was too afraid I may give in to my urge to strangle her.i knew I wouldn’t really do that but I was pretty infuriated with her right then.“Really?” Jacob asked me skeptically. His face contorted into such a mirror image of my own I wanted to shout for joy. I was meeting my son. I wanted to jump from the bed and pull him into my arms but I was still completely naked underneath the protection of the bedding. I knew the only reason Lilith was still in the bed was for the same reason.“I really am,” I said, having to fight the emotions trying to break free.“If you’re my dad, then what did you say to my mom every night before you had to leave?” the boy asked and i knew i was being teste
“You didn’t have to blurt that out to him. What if you’re not his father?” she said and then took a step back at the fury in his eyes.“Don’t even try and play games with me, Lilith. It’s more than obvious he’s mine and you have already robbed nine years of his life from me. You won’t take anything else, do I make myself clear?” he growled at her, as he backed her into the corner.She went from offensive to defensive in a matter of seconds. “I didn’t say he wasn’t yours, I just said you should have asked me first, instead of blurting it out like that,” she said, a bit shakily.“So you could come up with some more lies? I don’t think so, Lilith. Get yourself together. I’m going to spend the day with my son and I don’t want him to know I want to hurt his mother,” he snapped at her, before turning to leave.Finn walked out of the bedroom and had to fight the tears from stinging his eyes, as he saw his son sitting by the front door. His son was so afraid he’d leave him again, he was guard
Jacob was playing soccer with some other kids, leaving them alone together for the first time that day. Her whole body tensed at his words. She liked her home. She knew it was small but she’d been paying for it all on her own and she didn’t want to give it up.“I don’t want to sell my place,” she said, while crossing her arms and glaring at him.“You don’t have to sell it. You can rent it out if you want or just let it sit empty. I can hire a cleaning crew to come in once a week to make sure it doesn’t get moldy or damaged,” he offered.“Do I get a choice?” she snapped at him. She knew the place was too small and she knew they would be more comfortable with extra space but her world was being uprooted and she felt like she had no control over anything.“I’m not your enemy Lilith; I’m trying to do the right thing for my son. How does me wanting to watch him grow make me the enemy?” he asked her with exasperation.When he worded it like that she felt like the bad guy. It wasn’t fair he
“You didn’t leave,” Jacob exclaimed, as he jumped from the bed and threw his arms around his father. Finn picked him up and sat down on her bed. Lilith scrambled up into a sitting position and pulled her legs up to her chest, hugging them tightly. Finn looked over at her with an expression that seemed to say, I told you there was no other answer. She knew he was right.“Where were you then?” Jacob asked, as he looked from his father to his mother.“I was sleeping in the other room, bud,” Finn said as if that would satisfy him.“But mom and dad’s sleep together. Maryanne says when her mom and dad stopped sleeping in the same bed they stopped being married and then her dad found a new person that Maryanne has to call mom even though she doesn’t like her. She says she has to have two houses and doesn’t get to be with her mom and dad together anymore,” he said in the longest speech she’d ever heard him give. Then his tears started to fall again as he thought about it.“Your mom and I aren
Finn silently stood there in the room. She couldn’t look up at him, as she was fearful of the look in his eyes. His silence seemed to be the answer to her question. She knew he was going to fight her for Jacob. She had nine years of being his mother and had done the best possible job she could but he had the money for the best attorneys and if he took her to court he’d probably win.It didn’t help her case that Jacob was so needy of a father, he’d bonded with him instantly. The courts always interviewed the kids. They’d ask him if he wanted to be with his father or his mother and in her child’s innocence, he’d tell them he wanted to be with both his parents.They’d look at what each parent could provide and he’d win hands down. She’d fight him the entire way but she’d just be fighting the inevitable. She felt defeated and devastated.“I won’t take you to court Lilith but not because I give a damn what it would do to you. You don’t deserve my consideration. I won’t do it, because I won
Lilith was the one who’d grown up the richest kid in town, while he’d been poor and worked for every dollar he made. Now the tables were turned and not only was he a billionaire but she was the one barely getting by. She didn’t mind that so much but with his new status, also came that arrogance and distance she didn’t like.They slowly climbed from his car and walked into the house. Jacob could barely keep his eyes open but he was fighting his exhaustion. She knew her son was afraid to go to sleep and then wake up to find his father gone.To take the man away from her son now would be cruel, since he had a taste of being with his father. She wished she could go back to the morning and have been able to resist his charms long enough to get him out of the house so she could think. She didn’t want her son to be hurt.“It’s time for bed baby, you can take your shower in the morning,” she said to her son, as she led him towards his room.“But I’m not tired, Mom,” he said, before a huge yaw
Finn's POV:Chuck’s eyes widened at her touch and he moved a bit closer. He was a good looking guy. He was about the same height and weight as me, though not quite as muscled. I know a lot of the moms would had crushes on him and had been flirting with him, in hopes of a date but he had seemed fixated on Lilith for a while.“What are you doing later tonight?” he asked and she could see the wheels turning in his head. He was asking her out again, encouraged by her flirting. Damn, she really hadn’t thought about that. Before she could answer him, not knowing what she was going to say, I appeared and cut the conversation short.“Sorry Chuck we are going to be in the city tonight,” I said, as I wrapped an arm around her, letting Chuck and every other man in the room know she wasn’t available. Lilith didn’t get what I was doing, as we weren’t a couple and I had seen her watched me knowingly practically drooling in the other woman’s lap, not two seconds ago.Lilith's POV:“Oh, I was ju
Lilith's POV:“Oh, Mom,” Jacob groaned. “Go faster,” he egged Finn on. Finn gave him a huge smile in the rearview mirror and then jumped on the freeway gunning the engine. We shot past cars like they were standing still. Jacob was full of laughter, as his hair blew back in the wind and they flew down the freeway.I would never admit it to either of the guys but I was getting a thrill out of the ride myself, after my initial fear fell away. He was a skilled driver and whipped around the lanes of traffic smoothly, making it seem like they were flying. We reached out exit and had to slow down. “We have to do this again,” Jacob shouted from the back seat. I silently agreed.“We’ll go on a long ride after the wrestling meet and then go have dinner,” Finn promised him. I didn’t appreciate how he was just assuming we didn’t already have plans. I would’ve said something but didn’t want to fight in front of my son.We pulled up to the school and Jacob grabbed ahold of Finns's hand. “Come o
