Ivy's pov

Asher rose to his feet, a wide smile on his face. “Shall we?” he asked, grabbing a bottle of wine and popping it open.

Kat cheered, batting her eyelashes at him like he’d done something extraordinary - other than just opening a wine bottle. At this point, she was outright fawning over him.

I couldn’t keep the disdain from my face when he poured her a glass first. I gulped down my own wine every single time he handed her an item from the table first. The rational part of me understood it was because she was closer to him, but the fiercer part - the part that was insanely jealous wanted to lunge at her.

The silence that stretched between us was awkward. I guessed they were holding back because I was at the table. You’d think that would have been my cue to leave - there was no need to make everyone uncomfortable - but I didn’t.

Asher refilled my glass as soon as I set it down on the table.

    Asher’s POV“I don’t think it worked. If anything, I think I annoyed her—” I was pacing around in my bedroom, unable to forget the sadness and pain in those beautiful blue eyes when she saw us together. It hurt to pretend, even though all I wanted to do was pull her into a warm hug. “I think we messed it up, Kat. I don’t think it worked...”“I told you it was a dumb idea in the first place,” she said with a sigh. “I shouldn’t have agreed to it.”I clutched the phone tightly to my ear. “She looked hurt. I think we might have laid it on too thick. I don’t think our relationship can ever recover from this...” I raked my fingers through my hair, which was already sticking out at odd angles.“Her walking in on us wasn’t the plan in the first place. We were supposed to get pictures of us in your house, post them like we did before, and leave. She wasn’t—”“Yes, of course, I know. She wasn’t supposed to be home until later....” It was all because of Taylor. I let out a defeated sigh. “What d

    Ivy’s POVMy eyelids fluttered open as I woke up with my head pounding like a drum, the sunlight streaming through the curtains far too bright for my comfort. My throat was dry, and my body felt heavy as I shifted under the covers. A groan escaped me as small pieces of memories from the night before began to seep into my consciousness.Oh no. Oh no, no, no.I sat up quickly, too quickly, clutching my head as the room tilted for a moment. Flashes of me... dancing. No, not just dancing. Stripping. For him. My husband.I buried my face in my hands, heat flooding my cheeks. Why didn’t he stop me? I could remember his teasing grin as he sat on the sofa. He enjoyed every bit of it. I saw it in his eyes, that unbridled look of desire that urged me on until I was giggling and bold enough to pull off something I’d never dared before. And, God, I did it.My cheeks heated as the memory of him pumping his dick in front of me came to mind. I had watched, intrigued by him and the show he was puttin

    Ivy’s POVAsher groaned. “Remind me again, Janine. What are you doing in here?” He stood with his hands on his hips.I grinned in amusement, watching the exchange between Asher and Janine. She was wearing the hottest silver dress, paired with matching shoes that made her legs look endless. Her hair and makeup were perfectly done, making her look like a supermodel.She lightly shoved him aside. “Move away, ogre. I’m here to see my sister.”Asher raised an eyebrow. “Oh, you two are close like that?”I chuckled at his expression.“Yes, we are. Are you jealous?” she asked, scooting closer to me on the bed. “Ivy, you need to get out of bed. We need to go out. Now.”“What?” His eyes flew open. “No way! My wife and I were having such a cute moment together.”It was true. The day after my wild strip show for Asher, I had to endure his teasing all day, but the days that followed drew us closer. It was like the energy between us shifted, and we suddenly fell into step with it. We ate breakfast

    Ivy’s POVWe were giggling like two teenage girls as we slid into the limo. The moment I held Janine’s hand while we rushed out of the house together, I knew this was exactly what I needed. Besides Taylor, I didn’t really have other strong female friendships.I had built my whole life around her, so when she was gone, I didn’t have any other friends. I didn’t realize how much I had missed it until today. The driver started the engine, and the bodyguards in the car ahead of us pulled into motion.“So,” I turned to her with a raised brow, “where are we actually going?”“A club,” Janine said with a sly smile, stretching her legs out. “Obviously.”I laughed, shaking my head. “Of course, it’s a club. Why didn’t I guess?”“You’ve been cooped up too long. It’s time to remind you what fun feels like,” she teased, nudging my shoulder.We made light small talk as the city lights zipped past the tinted windows.After a while, Janine turned to me with a mischievous glint in her eye. “You and my b

    Janine’s POVI wore a long face as I watched Ivy leave. Maybe I shouldn’t have called her out. I should have left her in the comfort of her home, with Asher, instead of pulling her away only for her to leave immediately.I meant what I said about planning a trip for us girls together, and the gears in my head were already turning sharply, making plans.Luca cupped my cheek. “Hey,” his voice was a deep whisper.I broke into a wide smile as I turned to stare into those beautiful eyes. All this time had passed, yet I was still acting like a girl in high school with a massive crush on the school’s football captain. I still needed someone to tag along with me to deal with him, hence why I dragged Ivy here. I stifled a blush and averted my gaze. “Hey.”“We’re finally alone...” he trailed off, his emerald green eyes boring into mine.I bit the inner corner of my mouth, a small smirk creeping up on my lips as I answered in a low whisper, “Yes, we are…”Technically, we weren’t.

    Ivy’s POVThe unexpected contact made me moan out loud, “Oh...” I visibly shuddered, breaking our kiss.“Fuck, flower. You’re dripping wet...” he muttered in a hoarse voice. His fingers pushed my lacy panties to the side, parting my smooth folds with ease.I gripped his arm, “Asher...” I breathed. The pleasure that coursed through my body just by that simple touch was crazy. I bit down on my lower lip to stifle my moans.It was crazy how my body was reacting. I told myself it was because I was wound up from being celibate for months now. Deep down, I knew it was more than that. I knew it was because it was Asher, his hands touching me. I could lie to him, but I couldn’t lie to myself.He was the reason why my body was reacting in this manner. I lowered my gaze, but then his other hand gripped my chin and lifted it so he could look into my eyes.“Look at me, Ivy,” he whispered. “I don’t want you to look away at any point. I want to stare into your eyes when I touch you and when I fuck

    Asher’s POVShe obeyed, just as she did with every one of my other instructions, and I dipped my head back down to her pussy.The moment I got a taste of her, I knew I would never get enough of her. She tasted so good, even better than I imagined.She spread her legs wider, opening herself to me. “Fuck,” I muttered.Ivy was like a sweet drug; I would never get tired of tasting her. I thrust my tongue into her, and she moved her hips to meet my thrusts. She clenched the sheets and let out a guttural moan as I worked her nub.I loved hearing her moan; it was like sweet music to my ears. I would eat her out every morning just to hear her sweetly cry out in pleasure.I flicked her clit with my tongue and suckled lightly on it. She shut her eyes and threw her head backwards. “Oh, fuck me Asher!”I grunted in pleasure. I loved how she called out my name. I gripped her thigh in each hand, spreading her legs further, and continued to eat her out. I was staring right at her as I did.I wanted

    Ivy’s POV“There are no other women," he cut in. “And Kat was simply a ploy to get you into my bed.”My eyes grew wide and my mouth hung open. Ploy? What did he mean by that? “What?”He sighed and looked at me apologetically. “Kat’s job was to make you jealous so you would...” he shrugged. “Well, we would have sex...”I hit him on the arm. “Why would you lie about that?”“Oww!” He exclaimed, feigning pain. “Of course, it wasn’t my intention to hurt you. It was a small white lie to get you to put down all your defenses and give in to me. It was clear that you wanted this and yet you were holding back, for some reason.”I couldn’t even deny that he was right. I was holding back, pretending I didn’t want him. Also, the method was effective. I was driven more by jealousy the night I gave him that strip show. Technically, it had worked.“I was holding back because of the women. I didn’t want to have to compete for your love or your affection.” I swallowed and held his gaze. “I couldn’t bea

    Taylor’s POVMax stumbled into the room, blood smeared across his chin, his eyes darting around like a scared animal boxed into a corner.My gut twisted. My heart hammered in my chest. Something had happened.“Max,” I said, keeping my voice steady as I reached for the towel on the counter. “What the hell happened?” I extended a hand to him, looking him over for any bigger wounds other than the bruises on his face.He snatched the towel from my hand but didn’t answer. Instead, he wiped at the blood, his movements jerky, avoiding my gaze.“Max,” I pressed, my tone sharpening. “Talk to me. Now.”“Water,” he muttered, his voice hoarse. “I need water.”I exhaled sharply, grabbing a glass and pouring him some from the bottle lying around.He took it without a word, draining it in one go. Still, he wouldn’t look at me.“What did you do?” I demanded, stepping closer.His head bowed, his shoulders hunched. For a moment, I thought he’d bolt.“Max!” My voice cracked like a whip. “Fucking talk to

    Asher’s POVThe loud beat of the bass shook the walls as I stepped into the dimly lit club. I spotted Luca almost instantly, sitting in a booth near the back, drink in hand. His easy grin faltered the moment his eyes landed on me.“Asher?” he called out, his voice a mixture of surprise and suspicion. “What the hell are you doing here?”I slid into the booth across from him without waiting for an invitation. “Could ask you the same thing,” I said coolly.He chuckled, though it lacked his usual charm. “I wasn’t expecting you to show up. We haven’t exactly been on great terms.” He passed me a glass and poured whisky for me.“Yeah, about that,” I said, picking up the drink he slid my way. “I figured it’s time we talk.”“Talk?” Luca echoed, leaning back in his seat. “This should be good.”“Since when?” I asked, cutting straight to the point.Luca raised an eyebrow. “Since when, what?”“You know what I’m talking about. Janine,” I answered. “When did you and my sister…” I trailed off. “Well,

    Ivy’s POVMy head spun and my stomach churned. The words Max had just let slip hung in the air like a poisonous cloud, suffocating me. Taylor drugged Asher. Framed him. Slept with Max. It wasn’t Asher.It was never him. The anger I had carried for so long, the hatred I had aimed squarely at my husband, evaporated in an instant, replaced by a heavy, crushing guilt that made my chest ache. He had tried to tell me. He had tried to explain. And I didn’t listen.My mind reeled, jumping back to that moment, the moment where we had resolved our issues. The time he had bound me to the bed. When he finally loosened the restraints, I was breathless, ready to lash out.But something stopped me. Maybe it was the look in his eyes, raw and pleading. Or the way his hands trembled as he undid the last cuff.“I’m sorry, flower,” he had murmured, his voice breaking. “For the stupid stunt I tried to pull earlier. I promise you I’d never have gone on with it. I don’t like her. I don’t like anyone. I don’

    Max’s POVI couldn’t stop grinning. My jaw hurt, but I didn’t care. Ivy called me out of the blue for a date. Well, maybe not a date-date, but still. She said to meet her at her downtown apartment.That had to mean something, right? It was her private apartment away from Asher. I was elated, to say the least.I had been racking my head trying to come up with a plan to meet up with her, to fix things on my own. Now, she had invited me over?My head buzzed with questions as I walked into her beautifully decorated living room. What was she thinking? What was going through her mind?Was this her way of making peace? Or was this just… closure?I didn’t care. I was here, and she wanted to talk to me.The table was already set, candles flickering in the dim light, soft music playing in the background. It was intimate. More intimate than I’d dared to hope.I took a seat, glancing around, trying to steady the stupid grin that threatened to split my face in two.Then she walked in.My breath hi

    Max’s POVTaylor’s apartment was suffocating; the tension was thick between us as I paced back and forth. She stood by the window, arms crossed, staring out of it. My blood boiled.“Are you going to say something?” I barked, spinning on my heel to face her.She didn’t flinch. Taylor was a fortress, as usual. “What do you want me to say, Max?” she asked in a bored tone.“I want you to tell me what the hell you’re planning with Ivy and Asher!” My voice echoed off the walls. “Because so far, all you’ve done is destroy any chance I had with Ivy! You were supposed to help me win her over, not drive her away!”Taylor turned slowly, her face a mask of calm that only made me angrier. “And whose fault is that, Max? You think I’m the one who ruined it? Maybe look in the mirror for once! Look at yourself, would you even want yourself?”I stepped closer, my fists clenched. “Don’t you dare put this on me. You were the one with all the big plans, and now all you’ve done is poison her against me. I

He went out to get her, and they returned not long after.“Hello,” she said, glancing at me and giving a small wave.I shot her a glare and hissed, “Stay away from me.”Her gaze dropped, avoiding mine. She was beautiful; I couldn’t deny that. I could see why he would want her. I shook my head and shut my eyes. “Stop this madness, Asher!”“It shouldn’t matter to you, right?” he said with a raised brow. “So, sit still, flower.”My heart hammered in my chest as he sat back down, and she dropped to her knees in front of him.A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips, making him look unbearably handsome. “Oh, heading straight to business,” he murmured, caressing her cheek as she scooted closer, positioning herself between his legs.She began working on the zipper of his pants.I blinked rapidly, my voice shaking. “Asher…”“What is it, Ivy?” he asked, his eyes dark with mis

    Ivy’s POV“Asher, stop!” I hissed, tugging against his grip as he pulled me down the hallway. His hand was firm around my wrist, his stride fast.He didn’t even look back at me. “Not a chance.”“You’re overreacting!” I said, trying again to wrench free, but his hold was unyielding.“I’m not overreacting,” he said through clenched teeth. “You don’t see what I see, Ivy.”I stumbled as he stopped abruptly at the door to our bedroom, his free hand twisting the knob. Before I could say another word, he pushed the door open and dragged me inside.“Asher, let me go!” I said, my voice sharp, but he ignored me, releasing me only to shut the door behind us with a loud click.I spun to face him, my chest heaving. “What the hell was that back there? You punched him!”“Damn right I did,” he snapped, his brown eyes blazing. “He deserved it. He was looking at you like…” He trailed off, his jaw tightening. “Like you were a piece of steak he wanted to devour!”“He’s my photographer, Asher!” I shot bac

    Dexter’s POVThe makeshift studio in the Sterling mansion was every photographer’s dream. Under the bright lights, I hardly noticed anything but Ivy.She stood in the center, her bikini and shawl combo clinging to her perfect figure like it was designed to torment me, because it was. Despite the perfect air conditioning, I was hot and sweating. I kept stealing glances at her.She was radiant, her blonde hair cascading down her shoulders like liquid gold, her blue eyes catching the light in a way that made my heart race.I couldn’t take my eyes off her, and I didn’t want to. She was everything I wanted, everything I needed. I just needed her to see it as I did.“You’re doing great,” I said, my voice low and smooth as I adjusted the camera.She laughed softly, sipping her cocktail between shots. “Thank you, Dex. You’re making this easy.”Her smile lit up the room, and I couldn’t help but stare. God, she was beautiful. She didn’t just look like a goddess, she was one. And for some reason

    Ivy’s POVThe conversation around the room was muted to me as I stood near the corner, playing my part as the perfect wife.Asher was by my side, a perfect smile plastered on his face, while my parents laughed loudly and gestured animatedly with their hands.Across the room, Asher’s parents stood like statues, barely speaking. Their awkwardness next to each other was a sharp contrast to my parents’ lovey-dovey act.Marcus leaned against the wall with his companion, a beautiful brunette, murmuring something that made the girl smile widely, while Luca and Janine sat close, their heads together in quiet conversation.Everyone seemed to be in their own bubble, and I couldn’t help but feel like a stranger at my own birthday celebration. It was a small gathering of only close family members, yet I felt like an outsider, as though I didn’t belong.Asher leaned toward me, his voice low. “Are you okay?” His hand brushed my lower back, but I stepped slightly away, pretending to adjust the hem o
