BAILEE “Are you mad at me?” I asked, and Ben looked at me briefly before returning to Brinley. “No, why?” He asked, and my molars ground together at the two-word answer. “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe it’s because you won’t look at me, and every time you talk to or text me, it’s like pulling teeth to
BAILEE “What’s going on?” Alex said, his smile falling as I marched toward him, but I saw his chest rise more with his next breath. It had been too long for us. Too long since we touched. Too long since we connected. “There’s just too much going on right now,” I admitted, not knowing how to exp
BAILEE The sounds he made were primal, encouraging…delicious. “Alex,” I cried as I rocked back and forth carefully, not fully trusting his chair but needing a release that only he could provide. I should have had him take over the desk, but after the past few months, something about being on
BAILEE I left Alex’s office, unable to hide the smile on my face as he smacked my ass on the way out. It had felt good, incredible even, to get close to him again, and now that we were official and were moving in together, I knew that was just the beginning. When we were teenagers, we were inse
ALEXANDER I thought nothing could bring me down after Bailee surprised me this morning by coming into my office, but I was wrong. As soon as she left, my personal cell phone started ringing. There was a brief moment of annoyance as I wondered if the unknown number was someone from the press or
BAILEE “I have a business dinner to attend tonight, but I’ll be back soon. It’ll be at Maggie’s Steakhouse. Let me know if you or Brinley want me to bring you something home. Text me your order.” Alex said as he walked into the kitchen, where I had my hands covered in the sticky white glob that wa
BAILEE The nerve of that man. No. Whatever he was planning… But he couldn’t be… could he? It was too much, too soon. Was this shock? Did I want him to ask my parents for their blessing? My stomach was filled with butterflies, and I wasn’t sure if I was excited or nervous. Overall, though, I
ALEXANDER What just happened? I thought to myself. The room around me seemed to be giving me their undivided attention, and I was quite positive that wasn’t a good thing. “A baby?” Mrs. Evan kept repeating. Maggie's had a strict no-phone rule, but I was positive this would end up on TMZ or at le
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
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
