BAILEE Alex was extraordinarily happy that night and the following day. He didn’t stop smiling until we reached Ben’s house to say goodbye. Only then did his good mood fade. As soon as I saw Ben was already by his car, about to put his suitcase in, I jumped out of ours and rushed to unbuckle Br
EPILOGUE “If you get on one knee without a ring in your hands, one more time, I am going to kill you.” I hissed, narrowing my eyes at Alex. We had already been on the cover of hundreds of magazines. They seemed to get as much of a kick out of this as he did. Each time, there was one page with him
BEN I slowed as I turned off the main road and down the hidden path that led to Limitless, Alexander Kingston’s sports medicine rehabilitation facility. Although it hadn’t been my first choice, I feared it was the only option I had if I wanted the best specialists in the field and guaranteed disc
HAVEN I could hear my blood pumping in my ears as I read and reread his name on my chart. Benjamin Evans. My boss Suzie told me we had a VIP client arriving today, but I didn't know who. All I knew was that Mr. Kingston was sending someone important in and that we were instructed to give
BEN “I’m feeling tired and would love to turn in. If you leave my schedule with me, I will review it and explore the facility another time.” I said as calmly as possible, even though I was annoyed beyond belief that she was here. Just when I thought my life couldn’t drag me down any lower, fate d
BEN I couldn’t count the number of times I had dreamed of putting a ring on Haven Lynch. At one point… close to the end, I had thought it would actually be possible. I was a fool. Haven cleared her throat, discretely tucking the necklace away before brushing her short blonde hair behind her ea
HAVEN My free hand was curled into a fist at my left side, and I tapped the tablet against my right thigh as I waited for the elevator to go down. I had realized it long ago, about the time I was served with the restraining order, but the confirmation that I never really knew him made me want to
BEN I stayed in my suite that night, unashamed to admit I was too scared to leave my room because I didn’t want to run into Haven again. It was the first time I had seen her since she walked out on me, and I felt like I had handled our meeting with class. It felt like a trap. Yet, I had seen H
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
