Blaze’s POV
I was doing the buttons of my white dress shirt when I had the urge to check my iPhone for the nth time. It was so pathetic. No woman has ever managed to throw me off guard like Phoebe Carter. Then again I don’t blame her. I mean it’s not every day you see a half-dead man in a cellar.
Nope not at all
My sweet beautiful Amore wasn’t supposed to see that and now I felt like punching Andres right in the face for being such a clumsy idiot. If he wasn’t my best friend, he would’ve been six feet under the ground by now. Like the responsible man I was, I always cleaned up after my best friend's mess.
And unfortunately, two of those messes have been witnessed by Phoebe.
She wasn’t supposed to see this side of me.
Poor girl
That sight must have been too much for my delicate rose. Although Phoebe was naturally a very strong woman that didn’t
Phoebe’s POV“What is with the men being so possessive after one night stands. I thought it only happened in those cliché novels” Ava mutters exasperatedly and I give her my questioning stare in return.“Why what happened?”“Did you not see what Andres did an hour ago at the auction dance? He literally bid two hundred thousand fucking dollars for a dance with me! Like what the fuck?”“You mean that dance over whichbothAndres and Noah were fighting over?” I wiggle my eyebrows suggestively and she flips me the bird.“Don’t even start withthat” She rolls her eyes and resumes her gaze back at the dance floor where a few couples were dancing to James Bay’s‘Us’.I was thankful for not being a participant in the dance auction because I had a slight feeling that no matter how big the pri
Phoebe’s POVThe sunlight was streaming inside the room, almost blinding me with its rays even though my eyes were closed. I reluctantly open them and squint at the harsh glare of the sunshine and stretch my sore body on the bed like a feline. The corner of my lips tug into a Cheshire grin as I enjoy the softness of the Egyptian cotton sheets, however, my smile drops as soon as I spot the vacant place beside me.Did he leave?My brows scrunch into a frown as I place my hand on his side and find it slightly warm. He probably woke up a few minutes earlier than me. Before I let my thoughts run wild, I flop back down on the litter of silk brown pillows.The shrill ringing of my phone breaks me out of my reverie and wrapping the duvet around my body, I try to get up.As I said, I try.I cringe as soon as I stand. Pain shoots all over my lower abdomen and my back from last night’s exertions and my kne

Phoebe’s POVAfter hoursThe Weeknd’s ‘After Hours’ song was exactly what my life felt at the moment except I wasn’t crooning about unprotected sex and wanting babies.Speaking of babies, I screw my eyes shut when one of the kids from the nearby booth wails his lungs off. I mean seriously, why can’t these parents just discipline their kids properly? It wasn’t like I hated children, I do love them. Like Kyle’s daughter Sophie for instance, the mere thought of that angel makes my heart brim with happiness.“You know what? I’m one step away from strangling that kid!” Ava groans out and clutches her head tightly in her hands as she shoots daggers at the bratty kid who is still bawling his eyes out over some milkshake, much to our annoyance.“Hey! Easy there! I don’t think that the peaceful citizens of Seattle would appreciate a display of child abuse
Phoebe’s POVI stare at the maroon-colored envelope with disdain when I notice the gold engraved ‘W’ in the midst of the smooth hard paper.Placing it back on the kitchen counter, I stroll towards the beige leather couch and flop down on it.The cool leather makes contact with my bare back-side as the white silk material of my robe rides up. I honestly never bother to put many clothes whenever I’m inside the safe confines of my home, which has become a habit, ever since I started living on my own.My mind keeps on wandering back to the maroon envelope that contained yet another trip to doomland. The Woodward’s were hosting their annual gala and this time Ihaveto attend. Why if you ask me? It’s simply because my beloved parents can’t make it.Over the last eight years, I’ve avoided this event at all costs, much to my parent’s disappointment but now that I thi
Phoebe’s POVThe cool water feels refreshing against my hands as I keep them under the running water of the sink. As much as I would love to splash cold water over my face, I don’t want to ruin my make-up.I think I’m still in shock over what happened. As soon as Blaze saw me, I quickly excused myself from Uncle Ryan and bolted towards the powder room. For a moment I considered staying here until the dinner is served but the thought seemed quite ridiculous.If someone told me three weeks back that I’ll be attending this Gala only to avoid someone else instead of Nate, I would’ve totally laughed my ass off. Now that I’m really in this situation, I don’t even know what to do. If the circumstances were different, I would’ve probably ended up calling Alana to hear her wise words but now, I’m not so sure that I even want to see her face, let alone listening to her voice.Great! Now I ne
Phoebe’s POVThe hard concrete wall of the foyer greets my back as my lips frantically dance against his soft plump ones. Our tongues fight for dominance and longing as we take each other in.IntensityLongingDesperationLustEach and every feeling is hammered in our kiss.As his hands roam around my sequin-clad body, my hands clutch the material of his dress shirt tightly underneath my fingers as the sensation of having him close clouds my senses.I roll my hips teasingly against his growing bulge which causes him to groan and bite down on my bottom lip, earning a throaty moan from me. I wrap my legs around his torso tightly when his mouth trails down to place wet kisses on the length of my neck.“Oh Blaze…” I try to form words to explain what I’m feeling but fail fruitlessly.“OhTesoro, if only you
Phoebe’s POVThe harsh glare of the sunlight forces me to blink my eyes open to welcome the bright morning. The curtains were cast aside and on the left side of the sliding door, stood no one other than Blaze himself.He was dressed casually in a white V-neck t-shirt with black sweatpants that hung on his hips lowly, accentuating the narrowness of his muscular abdomen.He was smiling down at me warmly and held out a glass of red-colored liquid that looked like cranberry juice. I hoist myself up on the mattress and try my best not to wince visibly as sharp arrows of pain shoot through my entire lower region, making sure that the dark grey silk duvet is wrapped around my naked top. There wasn’t anything that he didn’t see before but it was the first time for me to wake up with him around which kind of made me feel shy.Usually, I left the room at the whisper of dawn when we were in Monaco. The only time we woke up to each
