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
Zoe's P.O.V.I rush out of the club, my body burning, my cheeks red, and my heart pounding in my chest after the intense kiss.Fuck! I kissed Sky. I kissed my best friend. 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
Zoe's P.O.V.Sky grabs my arms and yanks me closer to him. "No, I don't want to forget it because it wasn't a mistake for me, Trouble." He moves closer to my face, making my heartbeat race, his intense gaze fixed on me.What is happening to me? Why is he behaving like this? We're best friends. How can things change so drastically between us? It was just a kiss that happened in the heat of the moment. Why can't he understand?He questions, "Didn't I give you a chance to push me away last night, Zoe?" As I remain silent, he repeats the question, his tone firm. "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. "You didn't push me away because you
Sky's P.O.V.Damn! What did I do?Instead of explaining my feelings, I started asserting my right over her. It's as if possessiveness took over me when I saw Liam leaving her apartment. I just can't bear to see her with any other man now. It boils my blood.What will she think of me?However, she was soaking wet for me when I slipped my hand inside her undies. It means I'm affecting her. She doesn't understand it now because all this is completely unexpected for her.I'll give her time to process everything, but I won't let her get close to Liam. I can't afford to lose Zoe at any cost. She has to understand that we're more than best friends now.As I drive home, I replay everything in my mind—my possessiveness, my hand inside her short and rubbing her, and her reactions. Fuck! The way she was grinding against my hand. It was so satisfying. I can't forget it. Zoe was wet for me! She needs me, but she doesn't know. But I'll make her understand.When I get home, I pour myself a drink, t
Zoe's P.O.V.Sky's eyes soften as he sees my reaction. "Zoe, I know it's a lot. Seriously, I didn't mean to invade your privacy, but I walked in on you by accident. I came to your apartment to surprise you, and what I saw that night changed my feelings for you, Zoe. From that moment, every cell in my body has desired you and only you. I even tried to get you out of my mind, but I couldn't. I stopped doing one-night stands because you're the only one on my mind."Sky saw me using the vibrator? This is too much."When I saw you with Liam, I couldn't control my jealousy. It made me realise that it's beyond just desire; it's something else, something I've never felt for any other woman. I wanted to kill Liam, and I would have done anything to be with you. Do you have any idea how difficult it has been for me to control my feelings and hide them from you for this past month? It's been torturous, and I can't keep pretending anymore."He continues to confess his feelings, but I keep staring
