Zoe's P.O.V.The next day, I am lost in my thoughts, still trying to process everything. I can't get what Sky did out of my mind, and I miss him terribly.As I step out of my apartment building, my mind is miles away, and I don't even notice the sign that the lift is under construction. Absentmindedly, I step into the elevator and press the button for the ground floor.Suddenly, the elevator jolts and comes to a stop. The lights flicker, and I feel my heart leap into my throat. Panic sets in as I realise the elevator is stuck."Help! Someone, please help!" I shout, banging on the doors. But no one seems to hear me. My breath becomes heavy, and I feel the walls closing in on me.I fumble for my phone and quickly dial Selena's number. To my dismay, her phone goes straight to voicemail. "No, no, no," I mutter, trying to keep my composure.I stare at my phone, wondering whether to call Sky. For the first time, I'm thinking of reaching out to him for help because the pain of betrayal is st
Zoe's P.O.V. It's been a week since I got stuck in the elevator and called Sky's friend instead of him. I still clearly remember the hurt in his eyes that day, but it's his fault we're in this situation now. I haven't been talking to Sky, and he's been giving me space. During class, I catch him looking at me with longing in his eyes. I know I'm hurting him, but I need time to figure out what I truly want. How can I forget he lied to me? "He did this because he didn't want to lose you, Zoe. You mean a lot to him," a voice inside me whispers. But then another part of me counters, "He threatened Liam and kept it a secret. How can you trust him again?" Deep down, I feel guilty for avoiding him. He was always there for me whenever I needed someone, and I know he didn't deserve this. He hid the truth because he was afraid our friendship would be ruined, and now I'm making his fear a reality. But what am I supposed to do? I can't forget how he acted so innocent when I told him someone h
Zoe's P.O.V.As I enter the college pool party with Selena, I see Liam approaching me. I don't know why, but I feel like running away. Maybe it's because of Sky's warning."Take as much time as you need, Trouble. But don't forget that if you let Liam get close to you again, I'll forget that I'm controlling my desires."His words have been engraved in my mind. One thing I've become certain about now: I can never get my old Sky back. We can never be the same as before, and it hurts.However, I know it isn't his fault. He tried to control his desires, but they were too strong to be contained now.Last night, as I was looking through our photos, I realised just how happy we were when we were together. Sky is the person who can bring a smile to my face in the worst situations. He's always there to support me. Whenever I'm in trouble, he reaches out to save me, leaving everything else behind. He has all the qualities a girl desires in her perfect partner.Deep inside, I was always afraid th
Sky's P.O.V.Zoe follows me to an empty classroom like a good girl, without a question. My blood still boils with anger as images of Liam wrapping his arms around her body flash in my mind.I'm done with patience. Zoe needs to understand that she's all mine, and I can't let anyone take her away from me. Today, I'll make sure she knows she belongs to me and no one else.As I close the door, the sound echoes in the quiet room, and I turn toward her. She looks at me with anticipation.Damn! It's such a relief to know that she desires me as much as I desire her.I can't even express in words what was happening to me when she was clenching her thighs, ogling at my body by the pool. I arouse her as much as she arouses me.Now, every time I look at her, I wonder how we stayed just friends all these years. She looks too tempting in her white crop top and skirt. I just can't wait to see and explore the beautiful body beneath it."Why did you bring me here, Sky?" She asks in a soft voice as I c
Zoe's P.O.V."Bend over there now, Zoe." My eyes widen, and my heartbeat accelerates with anticipation at his sudden command.I'm still in shock at what's happening between us. Sky took off my top and touched me like no one else ever has. Overwhelming pleasure! That's the only thing I felt when he squeezed and nibbled my breasts, sending waves of ecstasy through my body.Whatever is happening between us feels like a wild dream because I never thought that one day I would be naked in front of Sky, and he would take me to heaven with his touch.God! Life is truly unpredictable.Right now, I'm standing topless in front of Sky, my best friend, and everything feels so right at this moment. He has some sort of magic that makes me feel comfortable in every situation.I've never been this exposed in front of any man before. Instead of feeling embarrassed, the way he looks at me makes me feel desired—cherished, even. My skin tingles where his hands and lips had been, and I can't deny the growi
Sky's P.O.V. "What? Are we leaving?" Zoe asks in an irritated tone when I straighten her skirt.I pull her closer to me by the strings of her front-tied crop top. "What else do you want, Trouble?"Although I'm aware that all she needs right now is my dick buried deep inside her, I ask her anyway, watching the frustration and desire in her eyes.Her breath hitches, and she bites her lower lip, looking up at me with pleading eyes.Damn! This woman is so irresistible. I can't even express in words how hot she looked bent over the desk a few minutes ago. I've seen many women like that, but none have ever had this effect on me."Tell me, what do you want?" I repeat, moving closer to her."I..." she stammers. "You know what I want, Sky."I smirk, loving the way she looks so desperate for me. "I want to hear you say it, Zoe."She hesitates for a moment, her cheeks turning red. "I want you," she finally admits, her voice coming out as a whisper. "I want you inside me."I become hard at her w
Zoe's P.O.V.As Sky and I dance, his hands continue to move over my body, sending shivers down my spine.I feel his breath hot against my ear as he murmurs, "God, Zoe. You have no clue how long I've been dying to dance like this with you. It's an incredible feeling."I close my eyes, leaning into him, completely lost in this moment, my heart racing.He spins me around to face him, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that takes my breath away. "Trouble," he whispers, framing my face with his hands. "When you went on a date with Liam and I saw you dancing with him, I boiled with anger. Only I know how I controlled myself. It was so fucking difficult to hold back my desires."I'm still in disbelief over his jealousy that day. Honestly, I didn't feel anything for Liam. But with Sky, I feel truly alive, and I get butterflies in my stomach."You don't have to control your desires any longer, Sky. I'm all yours now," I speak, looking into his eyes deeply.A satisfied smile spreads a
Sky's P.O.V.The day after the party, college is off, so I go to meet Zoe at her apartment and bring her to my penthouse. I want to do something special for her. I can't even express in words how happy I am to have Zoe in my life again, with everything between us even better than before. I'm so excited to finally make her mine today.I take her directly to my art room, a place filled with paintings of Zoe that I made when I was controlling my desire, especially when she was pushing me away.As we step inside, Zoe gasps in amazement. Her eyes widen as she takes in the dozens of paintings lining the walls, each one capturing her in different moments and moods.As she admires the paintings, I gaze at her with eyes full of intense desire. She looks so hot in those blue rugged shorts and a white shirt tied up over a tank top. Now, every time I look at her, I wonder why I never noticed before how irresistible and beautiful she is. I can't take my eyes off her."Sky, this is... incredible,"
