Riley was already swimming alone in the pool. Against the hot sun, she felt great being submerged in a cold, freshwater pool. She had already swum four laps when Adrian appeared in his board shorts. He was still in his wheelchair, but he was already half-naked, his six-pack abs flashing before her.
"Mmmm!" Riley moaned as she ate an entire leg of Alaskan king crab. She had earlier dipped the crab into a chili sauce, and the sauce was oozing out of her mouth. "Oops!" Riley grabbed a paper towel and wiped the corners of her mouth. She said, "Sorry. It's so good."As Riley ate, Adrian watched he
###FLASHBACK###Over six years ago, in Sweden.Adrian was sitting up in the hospital bed, recovering from his spinal and leg injuries. The doctors came in and gave him the news that broke his heart. "We now have the complete evaluation of your situation, Adrian," the primary doctor said. "The surge
"Your mother may go home next week. She may opt to resume her therapy as an outpatient," the doctor said to Riley. "Of course, staying here until your mother fully recovers is more convenient.""Thank you, doctor. We will discuss it," Riley said before seeing the doctor leave. Riley walked over to
Inside a vast mansion, four individuals awaited Abner and Adrian's return. Riley became the center of attention. Like Adrian's family members, they sat at the dining table as if participating in a staring contest. Anthony King, Tonet, and Fredrick scrutinized Riley's every move, judging her by her
Dinner was far from the appetizing feast Riley had anticipated, even with the tantalizing seafood spread before them. Despite Abner King's valiant efforts to maintain a semblance of order, the air in the dining room was thick with an unspoken tension that seemed to grow with each passing moment.Ant
'What? Give Adrian a chance to lead the company?' Fredrick thought. If it were last year, he would never consider this, but with the current state of the conglomerate, he might benefit from the setup.The construction company was losing projects, and Fredrick was at his wits' end trying to figure ou
Riley took a big whiff of Adrian's shirt, and immediately, her cheeks flushed. Wearing the man's oversized shirt felt like having him wrap his arms around her. At least, that was how Riley felt about it. "Wow," Barely a whisper, she said. "It smells really good."Adrian had a special fabric softene
Dawn shook her head. “Let’s start with the good news.”“We have actual clothes. I found two of your shorts in here. They probably got mixed in with mine,” Maxwell said. “But the only shirts we have are these.”He pulled out one extra-large T-shirt with a print that read: [I Put the ‘Max’ in Maximum
Dawn felt the pain, but as soon as Maxwell pinned his bare body against her, the pleasure returned. The fact that they were skin-to-skin gave her a different level of happiness.“Max,” Dawn shut her eyes, noting how it felt to have something long and big inside her.It honestly scared her at first,
“Mmmm.” He heard Dawn react.He continued to kiss her jaw, then her neck. He gave her soft bites, licking a few parts of her skin while slowly moving down.“You smell so good, Noodle,” he said softly.When he stared at her breasts, his breathing hitched. He had been looking forward to getting his mo
Standing in front of Maxwell was a very slender Dawn wearing sexy, soft pink silk nightwear that flowed a few inches below her hip.And Dawn? She was covering herself with her hands. Her fair skin was on full display—from her chest, arms, and long legs. Her face was red, and she averted his gaze. Sh
By Friday, Maxwell still drove Dawn to the hospital. They had lunch together and came home together.Dawn was preparing to give a little more to their relationship—because why not? They had the ultimate green light—not just a nod, not just a wink. It was like their mothers were holding up signs: “GO
Yes, they welcomed Thomas into the house, but no, he wasn’t comfortable in any way.He was standing before Dawn while she was seated on the couch.And the entire time, Maxwell paced around the living room, repeatedly thrusting his fist into his palm as a warning. Mina stood behind them, throwing dag
“Thank you, Mrs. Hamilton. I’m really glad we talked,” Dawn said.But, it wasn’t just Mrs. Hamilton. At 10 a.m., Andi walked up to her desk.“Wow, I saw you and Maxwell Turner kissing outside. I—” she gulped, “I’m sorry. He’s hot, by the way. You’re so lucky.”Dawn just stared at her, then calmly re
Luxford Iron Pulse was taking a one-week break. So, many of the players were in their hometowns, resting and spending time with family.Since Maxwell was free, he brought Dawn to work on his motorbike.Dawn was fixing her hair after removing her helmet in the parking area. She was about to head into
Maxwell was so confused. When did they kiss before?“I was twelve, and your mom invited us over for her birthday. We were hanging out in your room when you fell asleep,” Dawn began.“You didn’t,” Maxwell reacted, his heart swelling. “Fuck.”She pouted and admitted, “I did.”“That barely counts, but
