Thank you all for the votes!!
BAILEE “Bailee,” Lacey’s voice came from the other side of the door, and I groaned as I dropped my head onto the toilet seat. I had yet to kick the stomach bug I had caught, and the more I cried over Alex, the stronger it became. It felt like my body was mourning, too, even though I knew being so
BAILEE “You can turn around now,” I said to Lacey, but she was still typing away on her phone with her shoulder against the wall. She hadn’t seemed too happy about whoever had been texting her. “Everything okay?” I asked as I placed the cup of pee on the counter and moved to wash my hands. “Fin
ALEXANDER I pursed my lips as I stared at my backup laptop, watching the messages rolling in. Jordan had been keeping a close eye on the activity on my computer…the computer he claimed never made it to him. He had been diligent about removing all confidential information from it but stated that
BAILEE “Wake up, sleepyhead!” Lacey shouted, just in time for me to roll over and shield my stomach before Brinley jumped onto my bed with both knees where I had previously been lying. “The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and we are getting you out of bed.” “Why are you doing this to me?” I gr
ALEXANDER My back warmed as I leaned against the Range Rover, staring at the building before me. It had taken everything in me not to storm into the office, but seeing that it was her doctor, I couldn’t do it. She deserved her privacy, and I would give it to her. Sweat had started to form on
ALEXANDER “Bailee,” I whispered as reality hit me. “I’m not here to fight with you, I’m here to fight FOR you.” She peeked up at me from under her lashes before looking away again. That asshole sure had done a number on her, and I wanted to kill him for it. “I don’t want to yell at you, I won
BAILEE My heart was hammering away, and I was struggling to keep myself composed. Yet, he looked like he wasn’t breathing at all. After several minutes, I reached over and pushed the car into Park, waking him from his trance. “Alex?” I asked hesitantly, placing my hand on his arm before jerking
BAILEE “Not that I’m complaining about getting time with Brinley, but are you sure about this?” Ben asked, his voice coming through the car’s speaker. It wasn’t the best quality, but it did the job of helping me avoid a ticket for using my phone while driving. “No. Not at all. But I’m doing it.”
BEN It was odd pulling up to the house and finding there wasn’t a single paparazzi in sight. After today’s news, I expected them to be ready to break down my gate for a story, but no one was there. Instead, a blacked-out SUV sat across the street, and my stomach twisted when I realized it was pro
HAVEN I needed to get out of the house. Staying inside was driving me crazy, and I couldn’t take it anymore. My last job interview was a week ago, and while I keep applying, no one wants to hire the woman all over the tabloids with a sex tape. Our PR team managed to get it taken down, but it stil
BEN “Rangers player Benjamin Evans is today’s hot topic. Now fans were petitioning for him to be traded for his performance last season. Even I wanted him gone, and I’ve followed his career since he was being scouted.” The reporters around him laughed, and I gritted my jaw. “I know. I remember hi
HAVEN Ben’s leg bounced all through breakfast, and I couldn’t help but look over my shoulder every few seconds to the large window behind me. The way his eyes kept scanning it made me feel like someone was about to repel from the roof and crash through it at any moment, or there was a sniper some
BEN Was it weird to be shopping for engagement rings at this moment? Yes Still, I couldn’t help myself. It was the first place my mind went when I woke up this morning. If Haven was so comfortable around me and loved me so much that she was willing to let me fuck her in the ass, then I would bet s
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
