Missy POVIt’s been a week since the incident with Monica. Moving past it hasn’t been easy for me, but I’ve been trying.Adrian has been great. Overly attentive and constantly affectionate, always going out of his way to be a gentleman. He isn't even making a third of the dirty jokes he used to make. I like that he is trying so hard, but those small insecurities that still linger between us pop their ugly heads out, making me doubt myself all over again at times. I liked his dirty talk and his rough demeanor.And, he won’t sleep with me. That's the biggest insecurity of mine right now. I thought it was because of Hailey, but even when Hailey isn’t around and he comes over without her, he won’t do more than give me kisses. He doesn’t grope me, get over touchy, nothing. I tried to initiate more last night, but he insisted on taking me out to the bar in town instead. At the end of the night, he simply told me good-night, made sure all my doors were locked, then left, even though Britta

Barry POVMy boss threatened to fire me if I took any more time off of work to come back to this shithole town, but how was I supposed to stay away? How am I supposed to just sit back and do nothing while Missy isn’t replying to any of my emails or messages on her social media? This fucking sucks.I need to get her to take me back. That’s the only way to crawl out this pit of despair I’ve found myself in.I need money. I can’t live like a rat any longer. Even that bitch, Jessica, is getting more annoying, not willingly letting me use her shitty car any more. I have to fuck her till she passes out, then sneak the keys from her cheap target handbag. She still lives in the city. Why the hell does she need her car that badly? Take the fucking bus or walk. Her flabby legs could use the exercise. Missy didn’t need any exercise. She looked like she'd been doing her squats in the weeks we'd spent apart. She looked so amazing last weekend. I just wanted to bury my face between those cheeks

Adrian POVI had just gotten in my truck after leaving the pre-school that Hailey was set to start soon, after officially signing her paperwork and paying the deposit, when my sister called me. “Yep,” I drawled as I answered. “Hey, I think you need to get down to my work. Now.”“Why? Someone bothering you again?” Britt had a couple run-ins with men passing through harassing her a few times.“No, not me. That ugly green car guy is back, and he’s bothering your girlfriend.”“What?! Is Missy okay?”Ugly green car guy? It can’t be that fucking dickhead again. Is he that stupid? “She’s yelling at him for trying to touch her. Can you get here or should I call dad?”I’m going to fucking kill him. I told him to stay the fuck away from my woman. He’s trying to touch her? He’s dead. He’s fucking dead. “I’ll be right there,” I sneered, hanging up and tearing out of the parking lot a lot faster than is probably safe. Luckily, no children or parents are outside right now. I’m not far. It wou

Missy POVI know that Barry was lying to me. I know he was, but with the weird funk I had been in before he showed up and my doubts about certain things, his words brought all those insecurities back to the front of my mind. I feel over emotional and just…off. I didn’t want to risk being around Adrian and his family while in this kind of mood. I really didn’t want Hailey to see us fight like we did in the past. I didn’t trust myself in my current mood to not pick a fight again with Adrian by being unreasonable and insecure. I’m making myself a cup of chamomile tea after feeding the kitten when I hear tires rolling against the gravel on my driveway. My heart contracts in my chest, thinking it might be Adrian, but then Brittany’s car clears the trees and I breathe a sigh of relief. I didn’t have my thoughts or emotions under control enough to brave facing him yet. I’m embarrassed. I’m so embarrassed that my ex is causing issues and thoughts of doubt to fill my mind. I’m more ratio

Adrian POV“Daddy, why was Miss Missy sad?” Hailey asks me, cuddled up on my chest as I lay on the couch. I put on a princess show for her, but neither of us are watching it. Seems her mind is where my mind is right now too. I smiled sadly at her, running my fingers through her hair. “I’m not sure, baby.”Gawd, I wish I knew what was eating at Missy. I could sense she had been off the past few days, and I guess that asshole showing up just pushed her too far. I just don’t know why she was avoiding me. Fridays are the days I always get off early to go get Hailey before we meet at the diner. I was hoping today to use the time to hang out with both my girls before we go to meet my sister and dad, but I guess that’s not going to happen. I checked my phone again, seeing if Brittany even texted me back. I sent her a message soon after she left, but she just sent me back an emoji to flip me off and has ignored me ever since. One more. I’m just going to send her one more text. ME:| Is

Missy POV“I didn’t even know I had this dress. Where did you find it?” I asked Britt. “In your closet,” she laughs. “Don’t lie. I have never bought any dress like this, Brittany.”The dress was skin tight and was made to accent your breasts and hips. The fabric bunched up on one side, making the dress appear to have a slight slit as it rose on that side. I know once it's on my body, it is going to be dangerously close to my nether regions. “Okay, so, I may have bought this for myself, but I think you need it more right now. If you are trying to get in my brother’s pants, this will do the trick. That perv won’t be able to resist you.”“I can’t wear that to the diner where there are families and children. What kind of example is that setting for Hailey?” I asked, making a face at the offensive dress. “Okay girl, I love how motherly you already are to Hailey, but don’t be raising her to be a nun or something. This isn’t that bad. Yeah, it’s kind of tight, but once you get it on, you

“I like this dress,” Adrian says for the twentieth time, his fingers skimming along my flesh that meets the hem of it. “You said that,” I smirked over to him. “I mean, I really, really like this dress,” his fingers ventured a little further north, just underneath the hem. I bite my lip and my thighs tense with excitement. I missed this side of Adrian. The side of him that makes me feel desired and wanted. I felt like he had been disinterested in my body for the past week. When Barry said the crap he did about Monica, it brought out this raw jealousy in me, and those feelings of self-doubt. Now, with the way Adrian has been staring at my thighs, my chest and my body, I feel appreciated on a whole different level. I loved the caring, patient side of him, but I like normal, rude and crude Adrian best. We are driving back in his truck to my house to “talk”. Brittany made a big show of having an aunt and niece sleepover with Hailey, emphasizing to us over and over again that we had t

Missy POVI wanted the passion back, and boy did I get it. I’m sore and throbbing in places I never even imagined. I hated the time our bodies spent apart, but man, did that week we spent not having sex sure cause a build up that just errupted in both of us. “Okay, sweetie. I’m glad you and Aunt Britt are having fun….Yes, I can’t wait to see your pretty nails when I get home tomorrow….Okay. I love you too. Night night, baby girl,” Adrian says sweetly into the phone. He called to tell Hailey goodnight. I’m lying on his chest, fangirling over how awesome of a father he is.He smirks down at me, hanging up his phone and setting it on my nightstand.“I’m the sweetest, aren’t I?”I giggle, “You are super humble as well.”“The total package,” he chuckles, kissing my head.“You really are,” I laughed.His laugh fades and he gives me a somber look. “I don’t feel like it all the time. I talk a big game, but it scares me thinking one day you will realize how much better you could do. A roughne
