Forbidden Temptation Chapter 38
“This is the oddest place to do this, right?” Liam said, grinning at me.I giggled. “It is, but it’s also pretty awesome of you, so thanks. If I haven’t said it yet, I’m enjoying tonight.”“You’ve said it now, and I’m glad you like it.”We were pretty much-done eating. Besides the sandwiches, there had been cookie ice cream and a piece of cake that we’d shared for dessert. The drinks were just apple juice for both of us, but all I could think was how glad I was that there wasn’t any alcohol. Not for tonight, because that would only ruin it.Liam was busy packing things away now that we were done with it all. I watched him work from the side until I decided I couldn’t just watch anymore. I reached for him, grabbing onto his shoulder and tugging. I put quite a bit of force into it, but the only reason I managed to pull him down, was probably because he was surprised by it.“Whoa! Adele, what gives!”Even though he was complaining, there was laughter in his voice. I crawled over to him,
Forbidden Temptation Chapter 39
After our little rest, it was back to packing things up. The blanket and candles would be last to go, so I just sat back as I watched him carefully arrange everything in his bags. He had his back to me, so I couldn’t see exactly what was going on, just his limbs moving as he worked. I was feeling lazy and sated, so I didn’t even offer to help, though I was the one that distracted him in the first place.“How did you think to come out here?” I asked, feeling curious.“Hmm?” He glanced at me over his shoulder. “I don’t know. I figured doing it at either of our places was a bit risky, and I didn’t want to share tonight with anyone else. And then it just hit me, that somehow, we had plenty of highlights in our relationship right here, so why not add one more?”I snickered. “We’ve had sex here before, though,” I reminded him. “So I don’t think that counts.”Liam chuckled. “I guess there’s that, huh.”His voice sounded a little odd as he said it, though, and it was enough to get me to stop

I ended up not spending the night out, like I’d thought. The last time we had sex out in the woods, we slept in each other’s arms until the morning after. He’d gotten a ring on my finger, but Liam was surprisingly quick to want to get rid of me, enough to make me a little suspicious.When I got home, I opened the front door, and walked in a few steps before realizing Mom was home. Honestly, I would have expected she would be staying out for the night, though that probably wouldn’t be the case if Liam had dropped me off to rush home himself, right? Even more surprising, she looked like she was in a good mood.“Honey, you’re home!” she said, looking up with a wide smile.I was a bit nervous as I walked inside, but she didn’t ask where I was coming from so late at night. I was pretty sure it was close to midnight already. She had her laptop on in front of her on the coffee table. Whatever she must have been looking at put her in a good mood.“Sorry I’m late,” I apologized as I walked ins
Forbidden Temptation Chapter 41
Mom and I went on a little shopping spree and Chanel, came along with us. I would have invited one of my own friends, but all the ones I called were busy, so I let it go anyways. Besides, there still wasn’t anyone who knew about the pregnancy, and if I mentioned a wedding at my age they would probably guess, so I was a little glad no one had the time.I felt a lot safer with just Mom, her friend and me.Besides going to the boutique to look through and try dresses, we went around to look at shoes, some purses and accessories. After exhausting myself for most of the day, Mom and Chanel were ready to move on to flowers, but it was pretty late already. I would have gone to dinner with them, when they invited me, but I got a text from Liam at around the same time, so I went to see him instead.I practically dragged my feet to my front door, where Liam was already waiting for me, and I opened the door for us to walk in. we were both silent, until I walked into my bedroom and dropped onto t
Forbidden Temptation Chapter 42
It was the day before the wedding, and I was stuck indoors with Mom. We were getting ready for the big day by giving ourselves the full spa treatment.I knew everything would go without a hitch. We had all made sure of it, Mom and me, Liam and his dad, friends from both sides…Everything will be just fine!I thought that, but by the time lunch came around, I didn’t feel hungry at all, and I hadn't even had breakfast.“Come on, honey,” Mom tried to coax. “I made you your favorite, fried chicken and rice.”I sighed. “I’m not hungry…” though my stomach did grumble a bit at the smell, just thinking of putting any of it in my mouth made my stomach uncomfortable.Mom took a seat beside me, taking my hands in hers and meeting my eyes with a frown on my face.“Adele, what’s wrong? The wedding is tomorrow. Don’t tell me…” Her voice trailed off. I shook my head quickly so she wouldn’t get the wrong idea out of anywhere. I hadn't suddenly changed my mind about the wedding. If anything, I’d only

“Someone help me!” I called out, feeling frantic.We were still at home, about ready to head out to the church. Mom and I were both already in our dresses. She had her friends around, and I had mine, and yet somehow, my house had been made into chaos.“What is it, honey?” Mom asked, coming up to me.“My earring. I can't seem to get it on,” I lamented. I was bent over a vanity mirror, in my dress but nothing else. I still needed to have my make-up properly done, then get my hair done. I glanced over at Mom and felt a little like crying.She was mostly done already, and I was barely halfway! How much time did we still have to waste!“Shit!” I cursed, straightening up with a wince.“Language!” Mom said automatically. Then, she added, with some level of concern, “Adele, what’s wrong? Give me the earring; I’ll help you.”“I think I broke it,” I said in a wobbly voice, holding it out for her to see. I rubbed my ear with my other hand because it stung a little. “Seriously, Mom! I’ve put on e
Forbidden Temptation Chapter 44
There was no huge disaster like I’d been worried about all along. We all got ready in time and then started heading out to the church in groups. Mom and I were among the last, of course, and we got out together and rode in the same car, one of the many we’d rented for the occasion. It was big enough to carry six people, so we each had two friends with us in the car.We arrived at the church just in time. We waited in the car as everyone else got things ready inside, Chanel and Rita waited with us. Once we heard the wedding march playing inside, they stepped out first, and we followed.Neither of us had someone to give us away. So, we walked down the aisle holding each other’s arms. Mom’s veil wasn’t as dense as mine, so I could only hope that she wouldn’t trip, as I learned mostly on her. We each held small bouquets of white and pink roses.The church had been set up so the audience could mingle and sit wherever they wanted. Mom and I had both decided there wasn’t much point in puttin
Forbidden Temptation Epilogue
In the end, I decided not to wait until I had the baby to go to college. Instead, I applied with Liam, and though we were aiming for different fields, it was the first year, so we had several classes together. Mom had moved in with Henry, while Liam and I stayed at my place. We hadn't decided yet if we were going to stay there permanently, or look for a different place and allow Mom to sell the house, but for the moment, everything was perfect.It didn’t skip my mind how Liam’s bike had disappeared after that night we found Mom ready to move her stuff out of Henry’s place. In the week after that, Liam had proposed, helped set up the wedding, and we’d gotten married. Every surprise he had for me involved his bike, and I’d been sad that it was gone. When I mentioned it to him, he just said how he was working his ass off to buy it back, and I could only respond with a laugh.We had a car, though, at least. Henry had given us the family car, so he got to share my mom’s car instead. It was

I sat down with my friend in her room, helping her do up her make-up. We had friends and family running around, helping get ready for the wedding.“This brings back memories,” Chanel said, her eyes twinkling at me.I sighed. “I remember. My wedding that I ended up sharing with my mom. Honestly, I don’t know if I’m jealous of you or not because I didn’t exactly mind how things turned out that day…”Chanel had been there for me, but she’d been too busy to stick with me the entire time, and I’d had Mom there to help me out. Chanel’s mom was around, but she was acting more as a supervisor than anything.“Mom!”I looked up at my baby’s call and gasped. “Oh, honey, you look so pretty!”“Pretty,” Chanel said, sounding just as awed as I did.“Thanks for inviting me to your wedding, Aunt Chanel,” Harmony said, before running away to join the other kids, not waiting for a reply.Chanel sighed. “Adele, your kid is such a sweetheart. And she’s already so big! When Dwayne and I have our kids, they

“How the hell are we supposed to find a parking spot here?” I grumbled.“Watch your mouth,” Adele reprimanded lightly.I rolled my eyes, but looked in the rearview mirror at Harmony, in the backseat and held down by a seatbelt. She looked to be paying full attention to her juice box, though.“Shouldn’t we have waited to get here before giving her anything to drink?” I asked, still looking for a space to park.“It’s fine. I figured we could find a bathroom before we go in or something.”I just hummed. A moment later, I finally found somewhere to park the car, and it wasn’t too far away from the stadium. I pulled into space, and the three of us got out of the car.“Give me your hand, honey,” Adele said, holding her hand out to Harmony.Our little girl pouted. “Mom, I think I’m old enough now that we can go around without you holding my hand.”I sighed and rolled my eyes, seeing Adele pout as well. Three years had gone by, and Harmony was seven years old now. She also seemed to be going

I sat on the couch, holding Harmony in my arms. I felt a little bad for taking so long, but when we’d woken up and started getting ready for Liam’s departure, I figured it had been about time to let our little girl know that her dad would be going away for a while.She hadn't cried, but she was being pouty about it, and not speaking. I knew, sometime after he left, she’d come to me and cry, and when she did, I would cry with her. Sometimes, things just seemed to hit her late, and when they did, they hit hard. It reminded me a little of myself at times.Liam brought down the last of his suitcases and set it at the base of the stairs, then glanced over at us. He arched an eyebrow at me, but all I could do was sigh.“Harmony?” I said slowly, pulling her away from my chest so I could look at her face. She kept her head ducked down, but I tilted it up by the chin, and she finally met my eyes. “I know you’re sad that Daddy is going away, but he has to leave soon, so why don’t you say goodby
Forbidden Temptation Bonus Chapter Liam 4
I was seated in my bedroom, on top of the bed with my laptop on in front of me. It was about time for me to go to school, and I was doing last minute checks to be sure I didn't forget something before I had to leave. I would be leaving for the city tomorrow morning, taking a few things with me to my new apartment that was closer to the school and my job. I would be coming back when I had to time off, but it killed me that I had to move away from my wife and daughter like I knew it bothered Adele.Shit, we hadn't even explained it to Harmony right that I wouldn’t be around all the time anymore. There were phone calls and video calls, but it was hardly the same.“Are you done?”I looked up to see Adele just walking out of the bathroom with a bathrobe around her and a towel around her neck as she wiped at her hair.“I can do whatever’s left once I get there,” I said, closing the laptop and setting it aside without taking my eyes off her.“I’m going to miss you when you leave,” she said w

It was getting closer and closer to the fall, and with it, nearer to the time Liam had to go off to law school. As summer was winding down, Liam had to get a bunch of stuff in order before he could leave. The one thing I hated most, though, was when he was looking for a place to stay. I knew he wasn’t leaving me, but I still hated that he had to move out of the house.I woke up one day, too anxious to sleep longer, and both Liam and Harmony came down to find me on the couch, and breakfast nowhere in sight.“I’m so sorry, honey,” I said, referring to both of them, but looking at my pouting daughter. “I haven’t cooked anything, but we still have cereal would you like that?”Immediately, she perked up. “Yay, cereal!”She shot toward the kitchen, and Liam grinned at me. I didn’t usually like her having cereal, so I tried to lessen how many times in a week she could have any, and she’d already had it twice. She preferred the extremely sweet types, and the sugar rush always had her bouncing
Forbidden Temptation Bonus Chapter Liam 3
We had a late night, but I still woke up early. My body was too used to getting up at a certain time in the morning every day, I was up before the alarm even rang, and I reached over to shut it off before it got too annoying. Then, I turned to the woman sleeping in my arms.I hadn't moved yet, and already I could feel the aches all over my body that pretty much meant we’d had a really fun night last night. After how that disastrous dinner had been, and then the day of circling each other while I thought of how best to cure Adele of her disappointment, I couldn’t have asked for a better end to our long streak of no sex.There was still school, and I sighed as I wondered how I was going to work both that and my job into my family life. If Harmony did start going to school at the same time…it would be so much more convenient for everybody.After leaving a peck on her forehead, I slid out of Adele’s arms and went to the bathroom. The area around my upper arms and back stung from all the s
Forbidden Temptation Bonus Chapter Adele 2
It had been a whole day since the dinner fiasco. I’d stopped crying a while back, but I was still pretty bummed out about it. Liam noticed, and he’d left me alone since then. I hated that he had, though, because he didn’t even come to the bedroom to sleep last night. I must have cried myself to sleep, and when I woke, I found him sleeping on the couch in the same outfit from yesterday with his jacket thrown over him.Since he’d ignored me first, I’d done the same to him throughout most of the day. We didn’t eat the food from yesterday, but at least I’d left it all covered, so all it needed was some warming. In fact, last night’s dinner was pretty much all we had throughout the day; I warmed separate portions for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We ate separately and stayed in different rooms of the house.I hated how it felt like we were in a fight when the reason I was in such a mood wasn’t even because of him.Is he just going to let things stay like this? I mused to myself as I lay in
Forbidden Temptation Bonus Chapter Liam 2
It was evening already. Adele had spent most of the afternoon cooking, and I could smell all sorts of amazing scents wafting from the kitchen. I’d kept my ass on the couch and my focus on the TV, though, so I wouldn’t bother her. I could have helped, but… I was feeling a little lazy. And I was kind of uneasy over what Adele planned to do. So I left her alone. She wouldn’t give me a plate before our guests were present, but my mouth was practically watering, and my stomach kept growling in hunger.To hurry things along, I got up to head for the kitchen, and see if she at least needed help with something.“Is there anything I can do to help?” I asked while leaning against the door. Hoping that her answer would be no.She glanced at me over her shoulder, paused with her arms raised where she was reaching for plates from the cupboard. I walked across the room and reached for the same plates, glancing down at her. She was just standing there, staring at me with wide eyes.“How many do you
Forbidden Temptation Bonus Chapter Adele 1
My mom and Liam’s dad were going to spend the day with Harmony; Liam’s birth mother was even going to join them in spoiling her, and then she was going to spend the night over with them. She was four-years-old already and didn’t exactly mind the attention, taking after her dad in one more thing, among others, including her pretty looks.She should be starting school soon…and the idea of it scared me, the fact that she's grown up so fast.Where did the time go?It was something I had to talk to Liam about at some point. For the moment, she was still going to daycare, but it would probably be better to get her into kindergarten already instead of waiting too long, or she’d end up older than the other kids in her class.I was pretty much a stay at home mom, even though I’d gone through college and gotten my degree. It wasn’t something I couldn’t put to use while staying at home, anyway. Considering how far the world had advanced already, it wouldn’t be so difficult to get a job online wi
