last update Last Updated: 2024-11-05 14:41:49

Sky's P.O.V.

In the hospital, I sit in the wardroom as a nurse cleans the wound on my forehead. Zoe stands beside me, holding my two fingers like always, her worry etched deeply in her furrowed brows and her lips pressed into a thin line. Whenever she is worried or stressed, she holds my fingers like this.

I'm relieved that Zoe is with me now, not with that fucking Liam. But deep inside, I feel guilty for deliberately putting myself in trouble and calling Zoe. I made her so worried about me. If she ever finds out that I intentionally did this, I'm certain it'll certainly be my last day on Earth.

To be honest, I can't recognise myself now. I'm doing things I've never done before in my life. I can't believe I crashed my car because of jealousy.

But I don't have any other option. I can't tell Zoe about my feelings right now because I'm scared of losing her forever. And there's no way I'll let any man get close to her. I'll do anything in my power to keep my Trouble away from Liam and any

  • Forbidden Flames: Steamy Series   Chapter 17 Stay Away From Zoe

    Sky's P.O.V.At night, as I lie in bed, my mind swirls with thoughts of how to keep Zoe away from Liam. Every time I close my eyes, I see Liam trying to kiss her, and it makes my blood boil. I can't let that happen. I won't.Liam should never come to know the taste of Zoe's lips. Every inch of her body belongs to me, and I can't let anybody take that right away from me.I have to think of something because I can't be with Zoe twenty-four hours a day to keep her away from Liam.Running my fingers through my hair, I sit up, trying to think of a plan. I can't physically hurt Liam because that would only make things worse. But maybe I can scare him enough to make him back off.An idea strikes me, and I grab my phone and download a voice-changing app. I know what I'm planning to do is wrong, but desperate situations require drastic actions. I can't let Zoe get close to Liam, not when I've accepted my desire for her.Right now, I may not be able to tell Zoe how I feel and how much I desire

    Sky's P.O.V.I watch from a distance as Zoe and Liam talk in the cafeteria. Every time I see them together, I feel such rage within me I think my mind will explode.Zoe is mine. Liam, you shouldn't have come between us.Zoe's concerned expression and his serious demeanour confirm my suspicions: Liam has told her about the call.I feel a pang of guilt, but I quickly shove it aside. I need to do this. Zoe belongs to me, and I won't let anyone dare touch her. My desire for her burns too brightly to allow anyone else to come near.Zoe gets up to leave, and my heart aches as I see the worry etched on her face. It hurts more because she is worried because of me. But I know very well how to comfort my Trouble."Hey, Trouble," I call out, approaching her as she walks away from the cafeteria.She stares at me, worried. "Hey." She glances at my bandaged forehead. "How is it?"How can I stop my heart from beating for this woman? She's just learned something serious, yet she's still concerned abo

    Sky's P.O.V."What's on your mind, Trouble?" I ask Zoe. She sits beside me on the mat, her eyes focused on the water.Without shifting her gaze, she responds, "I was wondering what if Liam is lying to me."My brows furrow in confusion. "What do you mean?""Two days ago, I didn't let him kiss me. Maybe now he doesn't want me in his life, so he lied about the call to push me away." She finally turns to look at me, her eyes filled with uncertainty.The idea of Liam lying to her feels like a gift wrapped in guilt. It means Zoe is doubting him, and that's exactly what I need. But seeing her so conflicted makes me feel like a monster.Fuck! What am I becoming?I place my hand on hers, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Zoe, if Liam is playing games with you, he doesn't deserve you. You deserve someone who is honest and genuinely cares about you."Anyway, Liam doesn't deserve Zoe at all. He cowardly pushed her away after a single phone call. If I were in his position, I would have confronted t

    Sky's P.O.V."I'm still in shock that you danced with me in the rain," Zoe says, sitting beside me in the car's passenger seat as I drop her off at her apartment. "You let me get drenched, and you even joined me! Am I dreaming?"I chuckle at her words. "I must say, life is pretty unexpected, Trouble. You must stay ready for surprises." After giving her a quick wink, I concentrate on the road.And it's just the beginning. The most unexpected thing is yet to happen in your life, Trouble. The floor is going to slip from beneath your feet when you find out about the wild things I want to do with you. Your best friend desires you in ways you can't even imagine.She laughs. "I guess you're right, Sky. Life is full of surprises."***As we pull up to her apartment, the rain has slowed to a gentle drizzle. Zoe turns to me with a smile on her face. "Thank you for today, Sky. I really needed it."I return her smile, taking her hand in mine. "Anytime, Trouble. You know I'm always here for you."

    Sky's P.O.V.As the bartender prepares the drinks I ordered, my eyes remain fixed on Zoe, who is dancing freely, completely lost in the music. She looks so fucking beautiful, so captivating, that I can't tear my eyes away from her.But then I notice a guy approaching her, his gaze fixed on her body with lust. My blood boils with anger. How dare he look at her like that?I march over, my fists clenched. Before he can touch her, I push him away, my eyes blazing with fury. The guy stumbles back, looking startled and then annoyed. But one glance at my expression makes him think twice. He backs off, muttering something under his breath.I turn my attention to Zoe, who is dancing oblivious to the scene, her back turned to me.It's enough to hide my desire from Zoe.Without a second thought, I grab her waist and yank her towards me, forgetting everything else. Her back collides with my front, sending jolts of electricity down my spine.Right now, I don't care how she will react; I just want

It felt so right and yet so confusing. It was something I never saw coming.I can't believe I had my first kiss with my best friend. I don't know how I should feel. It's so overwhelming. I always thought my first kiss would be with someone I was romantically involved with, but now everything feels uncertain.I replay the kiss in my mind, the feel of his lips on mine, the way his hands held me so possessively. It was intense, passionate, and everything I had never expected from Sky.God! What's happening in my life?Is it some kind of wild dream?***After reaching my apartment, I throw my bag on the couch and head straight to the bathroom. I splash cold water on my face, trying to make sense of everything. The kiss felt amazing, but it also complicates things. Sky is my best friend.I look in the mirror and our kiss

"Didn't I?""Yes, you did," I admit in a low voice."And did you push me away?" he presses, his grip tightening slightly, making my heart race even faster.I shake my head. "No, I didn't.""Why?" He raises his brows at me. I keep staring at him mutely because I don't have an answer to his question. I don't know why I didn't push him away.He withdraws his hands from my arms and clasps my face.

I feel a type of emptiness that I've never felt before.The bitter liquid burns down my throat, but it’s nothing compared to the ache in my chest. I take another sip, hoping it will numb the hollow feeling inside me, but nothing happens.

He just said, “It’s a surprise, Selena.”Now, butterflies dance in my stomach just thinking about where he might be taking me. I steal glances at him every few seconds. He looks so damn hot while driving. The veins in his arms are visible, making my breath heavy. No one would ever guess he’s almost forty.
