I placed my hand on my chest, realizing who it was. He must have noticed because he stopped the car, got out quickly, and looked at me in concern.

“I’m so sorry I scared you,” he said, looking at me anxiously.

I avoided his gaze, staring off to the side. “I’m fine, thank you.”

“Can I give you a ride home? I’m not taking no for an answer,” Ethan asked, not giving me a chance to refuse.

“You’re not going my way, sir,” I said.

“Oh, please, stop with the ‘sir’ and just call me Ethan,” he replied with a smile.

“But you’re my boss,” I said.

“Hop in. You’re going to Oak Street, right? It’s just three streets away from here.” He asked as he opened the car door for me.

I glanced at his car, weighing my options.

The car was a sleek, black BMW 5 Series with shiny chrome details. Inside, the seats were deep brown leather, soft and inviting.

The dashboard has high-tech controls and a large touchscreen display, giving it a modern feel.

Soft lighting added a glow to the interior, with a pleasant

    “Mason and I are just friends with benefits,” Sydney said casually as she walked to the kitchen. I sat on the couch, watching her open and close the refrigerator.She returned with a bottle of water and handed it to me. My eyes were on her the whole time. Noticing my gaze, she asked, “What is it?”I took the bottle of water from her, still trying to come to terms with what she said. “So, that’s why you were so quick to brush him off?”Sydney shrugged. “Exactly. I wasn’t ready for anything serious, and he was starting to get attached.”I took a sip of water, trying to absorb everything. “And what about Ethan? You seemed pretty familiar with him.”“Ethan and Mason are brothers. We’re old friends. Nothing more, though.”I nodded, feeling a bit uneasy. I wasn’t sure what to say next. I didn’t want to judge her, and I didn’t fully understand the dynamic between her and Mason. “It’s just that I don’t know what to say,” I admitted. “But Mason seems like a good guy.”“Exactly,” Sydney said

    The rest of the week flew by, and the weekend was almost here. Everyone at the flower shop was buzzing about the party. Even though I wasn’t thrilled about going, I knew I couldn’t come up with an excuse to avoid it.I found it interesting how the flower shop operated more like a business than just a local store. We supplied flowers for high-profile events and surprises for big companies each month. I had gotten so used to the shop that I started wondering if I might want to open my own one day.As the weekend approached, I knew I had to attend the party to show my appreciation.On Saturday, I prepared for the event with caution. I tried on a few outfits before settling on something simple but presentable. I wanted to look nice without drawing too much attention.At noon, an S-Class Mercedes parked outside the gate. I saw it from my window just as Mason called to tell me to come outside. I was wearing a sundress that fit well, with a handbag slung over my shoulder. I checked myself

    He had a small smile on his face that made me feel a bit jittery. How could someone be so cute and not realize how much they affect others?“You look peaceful when you sleep,” he said. “I just can’t get enough of looking at you.”A blush spread across my face, and I raised my hand to cover it, feeling crimson red from his simple compliment.“Come here,” he said, stretching out his hand. “Let’s go join the others.”I nodded and took his hand. With my bag in my other arm, we walked together toward the party.As we walked toward the party, I wondered if I could allow myself to feel this sense of peace more often. Ethan seemed to offer a security I hadn’t felt in a long time.I hoped this party might be a step toward finding some normalcy and joy, even if just for tonight.“You made it!” Zoey said as Ethan and I approached the backyard where the party was in full swing.“Let me get you something to drink,” Ethan said, heading off as Zoey came into view.“I see you came with Ethan,” Zoey s

    I lowered my face to the food on my plate, then slowly looked up at Ethan. His eyes were wide like he’d been caught off guard.Why was he showing interest in me when everyone knew he had a girlfriend? It made me realize why it’s hard to trust people and let my guard down, even when they seem genuinely nice.So, he has a girlfriend and he’s been hitting on me. I decided not to look up again. Instead, I focused on my food.True to their word, the food was delicious, and I found myself feeling full and satisfied. I made a mental note to ask Mason for the recipe later. I hoped he might be willing to share it, even though he had been secretive about it.Zoey soon disappeared from view. I noticed she was talking with a guy and couldn’t stop blushing at whatever he was saying. He was blonde and had a well-built physique, making him quite attractive.Once I finished my meal, I headed towards the swimming pool where people were having fun. I took my drink with me.As I walked towards the poo

    Ethan stood there, looking at me with his dreamy blue eyes. I had been trying to ignore it. He sparked something inside me that I feared might consume me if I wasn’t careful. I’d been hurt before and didn’t want to go through that again.He held my hand and gently guided me towards the dance floor. I thought about protesting and keeping my guard up, but he noticed my hesitation. His grip was gentle as he slowly tugged me along. I realized there was no point in resisting; he wasn’t going to take no for an answer.As we approached the dance floor, people started to move away, giving us space. It seemed like they respected Ethan, but it made me uncomfortable to have all eyes on us. Suddenly, Ethan pulled me close, and I ended up pressed against his chest. He held me tight, and it felt like the world around us had stopped. All I could focus on was him. The sensation was powerful and familiar, reminding me of moments with Logan. It was both comforting and frightening to feel this way

    Ethan’s POV My heart broke seeing Nadine like this, and I felt helpless. I know what I feel for her is real, something I’ve never felt for anyone else. She has a past she’s trying to escape from—I can tell by how jumpy she gets whenever I touch her. She’s new in Canada, which makes me even more curious.I told her I wanted her to trust me enough to share what was going on because it was clear something was not right. But I had to do what I had to do—I ran a background check on her as a new employee. The things I found out were so shocking, they made me wonder how she’ll ever be able to trust anyone again.When I was about to tell her that I discovered something about her life, I noticed the way she stiffened. It made me pause, and I had to step away for a moment.I wanted to protect her, to make her feel safe, but I didn’t know how to approach her without making things worse. It made me realize how deep her wounds must be and how carefully I needed to act.The last thing I wanted

    “Congratulations, your wife is two months pregnant,” the doctor said, and I stood there, stunned. Of all the things I expected, this wasn’t one of them.Nadine was married—to Logan West, a powerful and ruthless billionaire. I’d heard about him. The news was full of stories about a big auction she recently won, an entire island. But nothing explained why she left him and ended up here in Canada.We run background checks on all our new employees. We have, to avoid hiring anyone with a questionable past. So, being told that she is pregnant, it hit me—Logan West must be the father. The thought overwhelmed me. I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry, jump up, or throw my fists in the air. The emotions were so intense, that I couldn’t even make sense of them.But why didn’t she tell me? The question slipped out, directed at no one in particular. “Because you two aren’t there yet,” a voice in my head whispered.My eyes stayed fixed on the floor, my mind racing. What if she thought I’d judge h

    "Checked out?" I repeated, barely believing what I was hearing."Yes, she left earlier today."I stood there, trying to process the news. How could she leave without saying anything? Why didn’t anyone tell me? I was so lost in thought, trying to make sense of it all. How could she just leave like that?I quickly pulled my phone from my pocket and dialed Sydney’s number. She picked up on the third ring.“What the hell happened? Why didn’t you tell me you were taking Nadine out of the hospital?” I was furious that she made such a decision without informing me. Sydney knew how much I cared about Nadine, and how worried I was.“Chill, big man,” Sydney replied calmly. “That wasn’t my decision. Ethan, she said she doesn’t want to see you.”“She doesn’t want to see me?” I repeated, my anger quickly turning into confusion.It felt like my heart stopped beating. I slowly pulled the phone away from my ear. Maybe I hadn’t heard her right. I placed the phone back to my ear and asked again, “Wha

    Nadine's POV.He pulls away and asks me a question I wasn’t expecting. Things are moving faster than I thought, but I know we’ve been avoiding our feelings for too long. We’ve both suffered in denial.“Go on a date with me,” he says softly, his eyes searching mine for a reaction. But I know I’m ready to take that leap of faith for us.I smile warmly, letting him see just how open I am to his request.“Of course, yes.”The smile that lights up his face is beyond ordinary, it’s captivating, pulling me in like a spell.

    I can’t believe what I just heard. My heart leaps with joy, pounding so hard I feel it might burst from my chest. “I’m right where I should be,” she whispers.It feels surreal. “Say that again, Nadine,” I urged, my face lighting up with happiness.“Oh, stop, Logan,” she replies, covering her face with her hands.Unable to contain my excitement, I scoop her up in a bridal carry and head up the stairs.“Drop me! I can walk by myself!” she laughs, but I can’t help my joy as I carry her with happiness.“Where are you taking me?” she asks, laughing.“To my bathroom. Remember that day you had your bath here?” She nods her head against my chest, a playful smile on her lips.I can’t seem to have a bath without thinking about that day. I kick the door open and step inside, gently lowering her to her feet under the shower.As the warm water cascades around us, I slowly start to remove her clothes, then peel off my own until we are both naked, feeling the heat envelop us.I take a moment to ad

    He moves his hand down, sliding my pants aside, and finds my clit with his fingers. I shudder, arching my back as he continues to press deeper. He adds another finger, fucking me with it, but it doesn’t come close to satisfying the longing that’s consumed me for years. No amount of self-control can hold back the desire that surges through me.His fingers alone can’t quench my thirst. All I want is his dick inside me, filling me, while my clit clench around him.He slams into me with all the raw power I remember from our first night together, igniting a fire deep in me.That night is etched in my memory, and each time I use my toy, I picture him, as I thrust in and out reliving the raw connection I feel that reckless night.As he drives deeper, sensations flood back, every gasp, every moan, every brush of his skin against mine. I remember the way he looked at me, his eyes dark with desire, as if I were the only thing that mattered in the world.I think of how desperately I craved him

    "Nadine," he calls my name, and my knees go weak. I can’t help myself; I lunge at him, pressing my lips to his. He swings into action immediately, without hesitation, as if he’s been waiting for this moment. What does this man do to me? He kisses me back, matching my intensity, pouring as much desire into the kiss as I do.I know this man. His presence etches itself into every part of my being. I can’t stay sane without him. I know it sounds cliché, but it’s the damn truth. He owns me, and I’m sure he feels the same. My encounter with Chris is a wake-up call, reminding me to hold on tight to what I have. Rosa’s words echo in my mind, even if she thinks I didn’t hear: I shouldn’t let a good man slip away.“Oh, Nad,” he whispers, his hands roaming over my body, cupping my butt. I wrap my legs around him, keeping our lips locked.He carries me to the couch, laying me down gently before finally pulling away.“What the hell, Logan?” I snap, frustration bubbling up like a child denied th
