ALEXANDER Bailee was sleeping soundly in my bed, and while I was tempted to crawl in and cuddle with her, I was scared to hurt her. Even more, I was scared to wake her. She needed all the sleep she could get. Her scans came back clear, but her body and mind still suffered trauma, and it would t
BAILEE “The son of Senator Johnson, Caleb Johnson, has been making waves in the news lately. From a video of him choking and then attempting to run over his ex-wife, Bailee Evans, to the latest scandal of corporate espionage, Caleb Johnson is now wanted by the state of New York for multiple crimes.
BAILEE “You can’t be serious right now,” I said as I stepped into the playroom Alex had put together for Brinley in the course of twenty-four hours. “As a heart attack.” He said, his hands on his hips with pride as he stared out over the room overflowing with toys. “Brinley told me that she liked
BRINLEY I glanced down at Brinley, scared that she would understand what we were saying, but she was too distracted by all the toys, trying to find her favorite to show me, to notice. “I am,” I said, and he looked horrified as he stepped back. “It wasn’t planned.” I wasn’t sure why he was so up
CALEB “Caleb, you can’t be here!” Lorna hissed, and I wrinkled my nose as she pushed her short hair over her shoulder. It felt right back over her ear, the ends of it not even touching her collarbone. It seemed to get shorter each time I saw her, and I hated it. She knew I despised short hair, yet
BAILEE I pulled on the sleeve of my shirt as I got out of the car. Security surrounded me as cameras flashed, and I pulled Brinley onto my hip, trying my best to hide my grimace of pain. Alex’s driver remained in the front seat at my insistence, but our guards had still opened the door for us and
BAILEE "Get out of my way!" I shouted, pushing past Keller. "Brinley!" My voice cracked as my fear consumed me. White noise buzzed in my head, drowning out the sound of Keller calling me back. A hand wrapped around my arm, but I dug my nails into it as I ripped it off. "BRINLEY!" I screamed,
CALEB “Daddy!” Brinley screamed when she saw me sitting in the car. I wanted to throttle Nathan when I saw how tightly he had been grabbing her arm as he hoisted her into the car. He had barely closed the door when my driver, Nathan’s brother, Seth, took off. “Easy, cousin. You wouldn’t want
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
