“Fi,” Jack says, trying to get my attention. I type up the message from Mr. Smith into the notes box on the appointment, but half way through, my screen goes black. “What the—” “Are you going to listen to me now?” Jack asks, pulling his hand back from my monitor. Did he just… “Did you just shu
Fiona I flip the chicken in the skillet, listening to the sizzle of the meat against the heat. The bold, sharp scent of a spice from the cabinet rises and fills the air, making my eyes water a bit. I’m not sure what it is, but before they left, the kitchen staff recommended it as one of Ethan’s fav
“You want more?” he whispers, and I nod. “Uh, uh,” he says, curling his fingers and sucking at my clit. Shock after shock of heat shoot into me as he says, “Give me the words, baby.” “P-please, Ethan,” I beg, looking down at him just in time to see him smirk. “As you wish, little mate.” Those w
FionaI should feel guilty about how unbothered I am that Ethan fired Jack, but I can’t find it in myself to give Jack any more energy than I did. He was a black spot on my conscience and now that he’s gotten part of the punishment he deserves, I honestly feel a bit refreshed.Thinking about Jack be
“Of course. I wouldn’t have offered if I didn’t truly want to be with you,” Ethan says, stands from his desk, and grabs his keys. I watch him walk over stare at him, for probably too long, as he holds his hand out to me.The moment my hand is in his, the tingles start up, traveling up my arm and set

My plan to test Fiona resurfaces in my mind, and ignoring Zev’s protesting growls, I reach for her. My hands cup the backs of her arms, pulling her a little closer, needing the distance between us to shrink.“Let me buy you a house,” I say.As soon as the words leave my lips, Fiona herks back, her e
FionaEthan pulls back slowly, almost as if he doesn’t want to break the kiss. His forehead presses to mine softly while our breaths mix, and the pounding of our hearts take over our senses. My lips tingle, and I wonder if every kiss and every touch will be like this.Every time he touches me, it’s
I flip to the next letter and unfold it, finding much neater writing this time. Like with the last letter, Ethan’s handwriting sits in the top right corner. Alex Redding. Age thirteen.Dear Mr. Montgomery, Mrs. Marie said that I could write to you, and it wouldn’t disturb you. I’m the boy you plac
FionaEthan settles against the kitchen counter and looks through the mail. The activity is so mundane, something I didn’t picture him doing, but watching him standing there, I can’t help but move closer and stand beside him.“Anything interesting?” I ask, trying to peek over his arm when he sets al
“We’re here to run,” he answers, smiling then frowning a bit when he looks over at me. There are no lights on in the stadium and no cars in the parking lot, but still, something about this place sends a shot of anxiety through me. “There’s nothing to be nervous about, Fiona. Nothing will happen agai
