BAILEE Ben stood at the kitchen island; his smore dripping chocolate onto the counter as he stared at me with wide eyes. I wasn’t sure why he had bothered to even make it when we both knew he wouldn’t eat it. Every time we did this, he would nibble on his smore during gossip, but whenever it was
ALEXANDER The thick manila folder on my desk was mocking me, and I thumbed the corner of it. Bailee had been lying to my face for a while, and while I wanted to believe that she wasn’t keeping anything else from me, I couldn’t trust her. The folder was thick enough to be a book, and I was inter
ALEXANDER I wasn’t going to be paying Caleb Johnson shit. The group of lawyers and financial investigators I had surrounding the table, looking into the matter, confirmed as much. They were excited to have such a big fish to fry. Within an hour of Ben leaving, they had a copy of the contract
BAILEE Pressing record on my phone, I got out of the Range Rover and adjusted my sunglasses. I knew this was a mistake, but I also couldn’t help myself. I needed to hear it right from Caleb that he had been the one to leak the story about me losing my baby as a teenager. He had been surprisingl
BAILEE“Back off!” Alex growled, stopping between me and Caleb. I eyed the distance between the two men, seeing they were only two feet apart, and attempted to push my chair back discretely in case it came to blows.“I didn’t make her come here, Kingston. She invited me.” Caleb smirked, and I watche
BAILEE Alex’s house was warm and bright. All the windows were open, and I could hear a vacuum going upstairs. Things had been quiet between us since his comment in the car about our relationship, and for a little while, I just wanted to pretend that everything was okay between us… that we could b
BAILEE “Alex,” I moaned, arching my back until my chest was pressed against his. “I’m serious, Bailee,” Alex warned, and I gasped as he reached down and began lifting my dress. My heels felt heavy, hanging from my feet. Yet, Alex didn’t seem to mind them as he lowered one hand to run down the s
ALEXANDER “That’s my girl,” I said before thrusting forward into her. She cried out my name as I pushed in as deep as possible, savoring the feeling of her tightening and pulsing around me. “Oh, God.” She gasped, her eyes tightly closed, and her lips parted. Her legs constricted around me for a
HAVEN “Have you ever done this before?” Ben asked, and I shook my head. He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath before stepping back. “How did I get so lucky?” His question, with the sudden loss of his body heat, made me blush, and I pushed off the counter slowly. I could only assume, with him
HAVEN “Did he say anything to you?” Ben asked as we settled into our room for the night. Siri had passed out on the car ride home, and Ben made it look so easy to transfer her from the car to her bed. I had never succeeded in doing that without waking her up. “No,” I said, meeting his stressed
BEN He was so close to them... so close to my family, and there was nothing I could do but watch. “Evans! Head in the game!” Coach screamed, but I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the scene before me. Security was coming down the steps toward him, and he threw his head back laughing before walk
HAVEN I was so scared that Ben would be angry at me for going behind his back and calling his parents that I hadn’t even told him they were coming. They were staying at a hotel near the stadium and were ecstatic to meet Siri. That was my big regret with this surprise. Ben didn’t get to introduce
BEN “Is Haven bringing Siri tonight?” Jake asked, and I nodded, unable to stop the smile on my face. The first pre-season game was tonight, and I was over the moon to finally have someone to give my tickets to. They weren't front row since the arena saved those for the high-paying fans, but my
HAVEN Ben’s eyes closed as if he were in pain as I leaned forward and flicked his lips with my tongue. I was bold when drunk, but this… this was a new level. I felt invincible with Ben as if I could act on any urge I had, and he couldn’t or wouldn’t judge me for it. He would just… satisfy me. “
HAVEN I loved them. The women were absolutely incredible. All of them, except Nora, but she broke away from the group fairly quickly. It seemed she was a bitch to everyone, and no one really put up with it. They just ignored her when her attitude started up and wouldn’t talk to her again until she
HAVEN Brinley stayed with us for three nights, which was the best distraction I could have asked for. The girls had been so happy to be together that I didn’t have time to dwell on any of the shit that had happened in the past few months. They needed constant engagement and snacks. I secretly had
BEN I watched with a smile as Brinley held her baby brother, Tristan, for the first time. I was excited to meet him, but I also wanted her to do so before me or Siri did. It was vital for them to bond, and with the bright smile on her little face, I knew she would have no problem with that. Brin
