"Why are you buying her roses?" Megan questioned as Jake sighed before turning around before walking back into his apartment with Megan close behind.
"It's not what you think, Megan, I had a business dinner last night, and things got a bit inappropriate," He replied as Megan narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean, things got inappropriate, what did y'all do?" She asked as all her questions suddenly began to aggravate him.
"I'm a very blunt man, Megan, I don't need to sleep with a woman to make things inappropriate," he replied as they entered the kitchen, "So you flirted with her," Megan accused as Jake sighed, "What's with the third degree, Megan?" Jake asked as he turned to face her, while she s

“Alright, you’re all signed up, and your first appointment will be next week,” Dr. Alana informed as Anna nodded while fiddling with her fingers, “What will happen at the next appointment?” She nervously asked as Dr. Alana smiled, “Don’t worry, love, I’ll just be checking the baby’s heart, its position, the size, and maybe the gender,” she replied as Anna’s eyes lit up.“Really, I get to know the gender?” She asked as Dr. Alana giggled, “We'll see, sometimes the baby could be a little shy and not show us, so we’ll find out next week,” she said as Anna nodded with a smile on her face before she turned to Ashley, who winked at her.“Thank you so much, Candice, I wanted the best for my best friend,” she said as Dr. Alana smi

Chapter 12"Woah, so you're telling me that Megan is obsessed with you?" Max asked as both he and Jake sat at the bar sipping on their glass of vodka, "I know, it's crazy, I just don't know how I didn't sense it before," Jake said as Max chuckled, "That's because you were so caught up with trying to move on from that Ashley chick," he said as Jake sighed, "Yeah, well that flame died after I messed up yesterday," he said as Max tossed back the rest of his drink before his eyebrows furrowed, "Why did you say that anyway?" He asked as Jake played with his drink."What would you have thought if you woke up alone in a hotel bed naked after having dinner with your ex?" Jake asked as Max nodded with a shrugged shoulder, "Okay, you do have a point, but what did she say, what was her reaction?" He asked as Jake's jaw clenched in r

Megan collapsed into Jake's arms causing her blood and tears to stain his white tee as he dragged her into the apartment as she sobbed, "What the hell happened to you, Meg, who the hell did this?" Jake asked as he immediately moved her to the couch as she continued to sob, "I- I was finishing up some last-minute loose ends at the company," she replied as Jake frowned, "This late, it's midnight, Meg," he said as Meg sniffled, "I had to, they were really important work that needed to be finished," she rambled as Jake cupped her face, "It's alright, Meg, just tell me what happened," he softly said as Megan nodded, "As I left the company, I was coming down the street past an alley, where a group of guys was gathered around," she explained as tears welled back up into her eyes, "I was just minding my own business when they started to harass me," she said as her voice cracked as her finger shook, causing Jake to intertwine his into hers."I tried to walk past them, but then t

"Hey, what's up, bro?" Max greeted as Jake entered Max's apartment before plopping down beside him on the couch, "What's up, man?" Jake greeted as he ran his hands over his face causing Max to frown, "You alright, bro, you look like you haven't slept in days," he said as Jake groaned, "That's because I haven't," Jake said as Max smirked, "You got a new girl something or did you and that Ashley chick finally made up?" He asked as Jake shook his head, "I wish that was the case, but Nah, man, shit's weird back at the crib," he said as Max frowned, "What do you mean by weird?" He asked as Jake clenched his jaw, "I don't know, I feel like someone is watching me or something," Jake replied as Max hooked his head."That's fucked up," he said as Jake nodded, "Did you ever search your apartment for anything suspicious?" Max asked as Jake's eyebrows furrowed, "No, I thought I was tripping," he said as Max rolled his eyes, "I swear you're the biggest idiot," he said as Jake shoved him.&

It was a long day at work when Jake finally arrived at his apartment. Upon reaching his door, Jake suddenly frowned as he noticed that his door was unlocked and opened, "What the hell," he muttered before pushing his door open to reveal a disaster. Jake's apartment was completely destroyed with Max in the midst of it as he held his head in his hands."Max, what the hell, man!?" Jake yelled as he dropped his bag on the floor, "Jake, we need to call the police right now," Max said as Jake frowned in confusion, "What, Why?" He asked as Max dragged his hands down his face in frustration, "Okay, I need you to listen to me very carefully," he said as Jake raised an eyebrow, "That feeling that you were getting about being watched, bro," he said as Jake nodded, "Was actually happening, dude," he said as Jake frowned, "I don't understand what you're trying to tell me, Max," Jake said as Max groaned before walking away as he came back with arms full of mini cameras.

Ashley felt as if she was on an edge of a cliff as she waited for Jake to arrive. For a second, she couldn't believe what was about to do, but at the same time, she was excited, the thrill made her giddy. But then, she remembered that she was no longer living alone, "F**k!" She whispered-yelled as she rushed to her phone. As she quickly tried to dial Jake's number, something suddenly hit her window, causing startling her."What the hell," she mumbled before something hit her window again as she gasp before rushing for the nearest object. Taking slow and cautious steps to the window, Ashley then terrifyingly opened the window causing something solid to her hit in the head as she moaned in pain.Suddenly, a soft "oh shit!" was heard causing Ashley's heart to race as she forcefully swallowed, "W-Who's there?" She stuttered in a frightened tone as a chuckled was followed, " Baby, it's me, Jake, hey," Jake said as Ashley leaned slightly out the window as her eye

To wake up one day and suddenly realize that they never want to go another night without that one person beside them."Jake woke up the next morning to the feeling of someone tracing his chest tattoos. A smile slowly spread against his lips as he realized who it was. Ashley, the woman he had mind-blowing sex with last night. Thinking about that night, made his breathing jagged, causing Ashley's movement to stop as she looked up before a smile appeared on her face."Good morning, handsome," she greeted as Jake's smile widened, "Great morning," he said as Ashley giggled before Jake flipped them over as he settled in between her legs, as Ashley bit her lip, "How are you feeling?" He asked as Ashley shrugged with a smile on her face, "A bit sore, but I feel well-rested," she said as Jake chuckl

Previously on Heat Vol 2...“I’m guessing you’re the father?” The doctor asked as Jake nodded his head, “Well dad, I’m about to explain to Ashley all about what’s going on,” he said as Jake nodded before holding Ashley’s hand.“Well, unfortunately, Ashley had gone through a miscarriage,” he said as Ashley shook her head with tears rapidly flowing down her face, “I-I’m sorry what?” Jake asked in disbelief as tears of his own welled up in his eyes as he stared at the doctor.“I’m so sorry, but this is very common with mothers who carry twins as one of the fetuses grows weaker than the other resulting in them dying,” he explained as everyone froze.“T-Twins?”…Ashley was devastated that she had lost one of her babies and secretly blamed herself for not being strong enough to grow both her children, but she was still grateful, grateful for still having the chance of being a mother, so she was going to do everything in her power to bring this baby into the world, even if it kills her.

Previously on Heat Vol 2… “I feel nothing for Ashley,” he said as David nodded his head, “And you will be nothing because right now as she’s here in Switzerland, her boyfriend and the father of her growing child is back home waiting for her,” David said before flashing Alexander a smile before walking away as Alexander felt defeated and embarrassed.… In her room, Ashley stood in the glory of her naked body as she stood in front of the long mirror. Biting down on her bottom lip, she gently rubs her growing stomach which seemed invisible until she turns slightly to the side as a smile graces her face. “Hello, mommy’s baby, wait until daddy sees you, I love you so much.”… Ashley was a bit disappointed that she missed Jake’s call and hoped that he wasn’t too worried about her. Giddiness filled her body as she jerked forward before running to the bathroom and emptying her stomach in the toilet.
