“Jesus! What’s wrong with getting pregnant? I can take care of you, of both of you, if in case. I can provide whatever our child may need. I can hire a nanny if you think you would get distracted in your study while taking care of our child. It’s our child, Ari.” He was pissed off. His chest heaved as he loosened his tie.“Tripp—”“I don’t believe in an unplanned pregnancy. Why would they fuck unprotected if they don’t want to get pregnant? And I won’t let you get distracted either, but if you happen to be pregnant right now, I would be the luckiest man on earth. And you won’t dare ask me to get rid of it because I won’t let you do that.”They didn’t talk about having their own family, but Tripp was getting there. He worked hard on it.Starting a family was something that didn’t come to his mind before he met Ari again, but the idea of having his wife and kids laughing in their home was the biggest fucking dream of his life. Who would have thought it would be easy for him to dream abo

Four months laterLater in that beautiful afternoon“By the power vested in me as the the city mayor of Hopes Spring, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride.” Dax smiled at Tripp and Ari as they were about to kiss in front of their one hundred guests, in front of their newly renovated house.Everyone erupted as they applauded the bride and groom. “I love you, Ari. Always.” Tripp closed his eyes as his lips touched hers.The kiss lingered for a moment as he cherished the feeling that, for the second time, they officiated their marriage, and this woman still belonged to him as he belonged to her. The kiss was so incredibly romantic that their guests kept on applauding.This time, they kissed in front of the people they loved and cared about. No more secrecy.The reception was just in their cozy backyard— a moonlight garden theme. Instead of tents,Tripp designed a glass house with iron scaffolding for the reception dinner that fitted one hundred guests. It h

ONE LAST CHASE***Fantastic!That was the last word Charleigh heard from her brother and boss, Tripp, after her presentation before him and Kayden Braxton, the COO, and co-founder. She’d been working her ass off for the past three years at Braxton and Wrylee Associates as an associate architect, and she just spent four weeks on her desk to make a good impression. She deserved more than just the word fantastic. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t even get a good job from him. It was not that she was fishing for compliments. This time, she wasn’t sure if he meant it because she didn’t get a lot of it from Tripp. She didn’t care about it anymore for as long as he would keep to his promise.“Are you ready for your promotion?” Tripp Wrylee asked. Charleigh said silently, “Been born ready.”“Great. Your flight will be tomorrow. Do your best, Charleigh. Don’t come back until you impress the client.”She stopped placing her things back into her tote bag and finally lifted her gaze

Charleigh took a deep breath before stepping out of the Inn where she’d be staying for a few days. This was her only chance to prove to herself and her brother that she belonged in this industry. Tripp might have tricked her to be in this town, knowing that she wouldn’t say no to the promotion and that her job was also at stake here if she screwed this up. She thought it would be best for her to learn to stand on her own without her brother by her side or being labeled as Tripp Wrylee’s sister.Meeting her ex didn’t even make her feel edgy. Why would it? The only thing that mattered to her right now was how to impress the mayor—not her ex.She wished Kayden was just throwing his cosmic punchline joke that day. How could she forget how Dax Easton broke her heart in front of the most romantic landscape he designed? Instead of proposing to her, he did to another woman. It was still fresh to her, and she only cried for days until she realized he didn’t deserve her tears.The air was no

Charleigh took a deep breath to push the thoughts forming in her head because she definitely had a lot of things to think about this man. She might be a workaholic, but she had a fair share of hook-ups and would definitely put this man on her list. She had zero interest in dating, though. But thinking beneath him, she would never say to fool around a little bit while doing her job in this town.“You’re not from around here, are you?” the hot dog walker said, catching back her attention.“That obvious, huh? Just visiting Hopes Spring.” She smiled at him.“I see.” He nodded, understanding brewing in his eyes. “I would have met you already if you were from around here. Small town, as they say, news travels fast.”And I would have known what was underneath that white shirt and sweatpants if I were also from around here. Charleigh held that thought. Instead, she said, “You have a lovely dog.”“A proud owner.” His unbelievably red lips spread into a full grin. Was he flirting with her?Oh,

That was not a part of his plan.Bryce questioned himself again. He was just caught off guard by the beautiful woman petting Lotus. He kept telling himself before he climbed up his truck.Or more likely, he was so mesmerized that his pulse shot into the stratosphere until he realized it was too late to take it back—he was already inviting Charleigh for a drink and even hoping she would show up. He was preoccupied throughout his ride, thinking about what Charleigh was wearing that night.His wife might have been gone years ago, but he still never wanted to get into a relationship pretty soon because he had priorities—to raise his child and to manage Clarity Cakeshop. Right now, his small business was at stake for building renovation. Then, suddenly, he was inviting and entertaining a stranger in the bar. Which was not totally like Bryce Chase.Charleigh was sitting next to him, and Bryce couldn’t even take his eyes off the brunette. He could feel his racing heartbeat every time she smi

“Because it’s not hard for you to get their attention. I get it. You’re hot and—”Instinctively, Bryce pressed his finger on her soft red lips to stop her from talking. He felt the softness and the wetness against his skin, and he had to swallow hard to hold the temptation of replacing his finger with his lips to feel and taste if what he thought earlier was right.“That’s not what I mean.” He was assuming a lot, but their attractions didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out. It went both ways.“It’s alright, Bryce. I’ll call a cab.”His heart sunk to see the disappointment in her eyes.What she didn’t know was how hard it was for Bryce to control the urge, and it took all his strength, his willpower, and self-control not to press her against the truck.The thought of them sweating, panting, and screaming their names as they reached the high level of ecstasy in the hotel room had the fire simmered inside him with so much anticipation. And these desperate and mortifying needs he

It’d been years since he broke her heart. Seeing him seemingly happy and successful in life had put Charleigh at ease.It was not that she didn’t cry for countless days, but because of the fact that he betrayed her, she hadn’t found an answer as to why he did not tell her that he was seeing someone else. There was no closure between them.Charleigh was not interested in finding that answer anymore, though, not right now. She moved on and was happy being single.The moment she walked inside the conference room, she smiled confidently. When her gaze landed on Dax, she didn’t feel the sparks between them anymore. There was no racing of heart just like how she felt toward Bryce.Why was she comparing?She couldn’t get him out of her head even before she went to bed. She could still taste the beer on her tongue, feel the scorching touch of his callus hands on her skin, and the ache between her thighs as his massive erection pressed against her core. She was even tempted to say hi to her fi

The goodbyes were pretty emotional for Ari.Leaving her father, her best friend, her friends, and her home where she grew up was hard for her. But she also considered her husband and his work, and their future.It might be difficult in the beginning, but she could not take it away from the love of her life. She knew the moment she gave Tripp and their relationship a second chance, it came with a price, and it required sacrifices she’d be willing to take.“Oh, God. I’m so terrible.” She groaned and tried to open her eyes when she felt a soft kiss on her lips and the familiar smell of his perfume wafting in the air.“I should really start waking up early before school starts.” She was so drained, and the fact that she wasn’t used to taking the morning shift, she felt guilty for Tripp. “Get some more sleep, sleepyhead. See you later.” It was the voice of her hot husband before she felt a kiss on her forehead. Then she was back to her slumber.She woke up with a satisfied smile on her li

They were back to Hopes Spring on Teagan’s birthday. Surprisingly, Tripp was welcomed by the old man with open arms, calling him son.Again, Dax, Charleigh, and Bryce were around as the old man blew the candle on his cake from Clereigh Cakeshop.When everyone left, Teagan settled on the chair on the porch. Tripp was planning to corner him while Ari was busy in the kitchen.“So, are you really taking her away from me?”He sighed. Relief flooded in his system and finally, Teagan was being civilized with him.“I am not taking her away from you. She’s still your daughter, and nothing’s gonna change that. And I am sure Ari would not allow that if that was my plan. She still thinks about your well-being, Teagan. Everyday. And you are always welcome to come with us.”He stared at him. “And leave my home?”“Then you are welcome to visit us. Just let me know ahead of time so that I can arrange your flight.”“I would love to visit cities once in and while. Thank you.”“And I want to talk to you

Ari gasped, then sucked in a deep breath as she felt her being so full and stretched.Tripp stilled for a moment as if giving her time to adjust, but that wasn’t what she wanted.She loved this position, and so as Tripp. She was on four and felt so tight around his cock from behind that made her dizzy with needs.He groaned when she pushed her ass back, demanding him to move, giving him a squeeze on his thigh restlessly. He held her shoulder as he pulled it all out. His cock was coated with her wetness, causing Ari to groan from the sudden emptiness.Tripp slid his hands down her back, holding her hips, and then in one long thrust, he was inside her again.Her head lowered voluntarily while his hands tightened around her hips as he bucked forward, pushing deeper, and she took him in. He began pumping his hips forward and back harder, causing her walls to clamp around him, Tripp saw stars.“Ah! Don’t stop.” He liked the way she utterly lost when she was with him, not caring how greedy

Tripp’s anger filled his chest. His chest was heaving. “Or maybe you can give it to your mistresses instead.”“Careful, son.”“You better go and don’t come back. Let’s keep between us professionals or business rivals if we cross our paths again.” He was about to turn back when his father mentioned something that made his blood boil.“So you’re keeping tabs on me now? What about it?”“You’ve been married—”“My personal life is none of your fucking business.”“Watch your tone, son,” he said firmly.Tripp just got under his skin. “Or what? You look so desperate, father. Can’t say that I’m surprised. You should let the younger people handle the designs because it looks like you can’t keep up anymore.” He watched his father fidget for the first time. For him, it looked like a small victory to celebrate. “And my marriage is the best thing that has ever happened to me.”“It won’t work. Trust me.” He just showed how disgusted he was.“You know the problem is? I don’t care.” He shrugged. “Not

“Are you sure you’ll be okay?” he asked Ari one more time before he looked out through the windshield. They parked in front of the Weine Cornwell School of Medicine. “You could use this.” He leaned down to kiss her on her lips. “Relax. I know you don’t need good luck. I’ll see you later?”Tripp could feel the nervousness vibrating under her skin, but he believed in her. She took a deep breath and smoothed her pants before she squeezed his thigh and climbed out of the car.“Wait.” She rounded to Tripp’s side and leaned over.Tripp rolled down the window. “Yeah?”She took something from her bag. Her notebook. “I think this belongs to you. I can’t see I’m surprised how good you are at what you do.”He took it from her with a smirk on his lips. “See? You were also snooping.”“That’s my notebook.” She rolled her eyes. “Those are great, Tripp. Don’t give up until you make that into a real yacht. I believe in you, husband.”“Thank you, baby. That means a lot. See you later.” He waved goodby

“I’m still working there until I pass in the interview in Weine Cornwell.”“Cornwell? As in medical school?” His mouth dropped. His eyes lit up with pride. “Jesus, baby. I couldn’t be prouder.” She was rewarded with a loud kiss on her lips. “You will nail it. Why did you not ever mention this to me?”She shrugged, feeling suddenly shy. “I’m not sure I would be selected out of six thousand applicants, but I wanna keep my head down. They only invited seven hundred fifty for this interview.”“Wow. I would have never doubted you. So if you will pass, you will resign from your job. That means you will be here with me permanently. How about your house? Is this okay with your dad?”She stood up from his lap, still fully naked. Tripp held her hand. “Let’s soak in the tub. Then we will talk more about your school.”Once the tub was full, he poured a good amount of his body wash. “We will go shopping for your stuff after your interview.”She joined him in the tub, settling between his thighs. “

*Flashback aheadWith one smooth thrust of his hips, he was all inside her. She screamed his name in shock at the feeling of being so full and stretched, and her womb shook. Tripp groaned against their mouths as he kept her unmoving, relishing the feeling of them fitting so perfectly.He broke the kiss, pressing his forehead against hers, his breathing was heavy against her face.Everything was overwhelming him, clogging in his throat. It felt unreal even though he knew and felt this was happening. He and Ari were one, and their souls were intertwined forever.“Christ, Ari. It feels fucking amazing.” Then he pulled his cock out completely. “Tripp.” Ari sighed at the loss of contact, wanting to feel him inside her and having to feel being stretched again. She bit her bottom lip, and it would almost draw blood against her teeth.Moments later, Tripp slammed into her again, hitting her clit. Her nails clawed into his flesh as she could not stop shaking.She moaned at the sensation. Her
