ELLIEEthan remained silent for so long that I thought he would just ignore my question. Why the hell did I ask something like that? I knew he didn't like to talk about this subject. A wave of regret washed over me before he finally spoke."Who are you? My therapist?" he said.I smiled, remembering when I used the same words during our dinner."Okay, I guess I deserved that.""It's not so fun when your own words are used against you, is it?""Fine. You win," I turned around, resting my arms on his chest to face him. "How about this... I'll answer if you do the same." He seemed to reflect for a moment before finally nodding."However, I already know what you're going to say.""How can you know?""Your eyes... you can't hide it.""That's ridiculous!" I mocked. "Come on, then, what do my eyes say to you?" I furrowed my eyebrows, skeptical."That you loved the idiot, but he didn't know how to appreciate it and ended up hurting you. He never acknowledged what you had, and that's why you're
ELLIE"You don't have to be a jerk.""If I had answered, would that bother you?""You said it yourself, I'm not your secretary. I'm nothing to you." I spoke before turning my back, walking to the door, and leaving the room.I just want to fuck you, Ellie, but I guess I have the right to act like a crazy jealous person. I wasn't willing to deal with his inconsistent behavior so soon.I opened Todd's messages as I descended the stairs. The signal was terrible where we were. The first one said, "Hey, why aren't you picking up?" And the next one: "Are you still in France? I have a surprise."I had been seeing Todd frequently in the past week before traveling. Sometimes he would accompany me to the gym, or we would meet in the hallway of the building. We were treating each other relatively well.My plan to move on and forget our past was going well. And I had to admit, I still liked his fun personality. But maybe friendship was something beyond our limits. I was about to respond to the mes
ETHANI had to extract Anna's address from her to find out the damn hotel where they would meet. It wasn't hard to locate them when I entered; they were sitting at the hotel bar. Keeping a safe distance to stay out of sight, I sat in a secluded corner where I could have a good view of them.She barely glanced at me before leaving, but seeing how she was dressed was enough to irritate me. The idea that she had dressed up for him drove me crazy with jealousy. And damn it, she looked beautiful. The idiot didn't deserve her; he had already had his chance and didn't know how to take advantage of it. He was completely mistaken if he thought he could have her back so easily.Having to watch how well they seemed to get along only worsened my mood. I had to restrain myself from going over there dozens of times. And when I saw her smiling at him, my stomach churned.Was she really considering giving the jerk a second chance? She couldn't be so naive. Watching the two of them together for half t
ELLIEHe held my gaze, staring at me authoritatively, reaffirming his command. I blinked. Damn. He wanted me to...I fought against the desire of my own body, which longed to obey him. Shit. Why was I so excited? That was the problem with Morgan; our arguments usually ended up like this, with all the anger transforming into wild desire. And I didn't want or have the strength to fight this desire."Let's talk later. It doesn't mean you've won. I'm just taking what I want," I said."We'll definitely talk. Now, obey," he replied.I let my bag fall to the floor and pretended to kneel, but then I stood up again, smiling provocatively."Do you really think I'm just going to obey after all this?""You've provoked enough for one night," he said, irritation shining in his eyes."Let's do it this way..." I took a step towards him and traced a path down the middle of his muscular chest with my finger. "You're going to use this anger of yours for something useful." I turned my back to him and sta
ELLIE When strength returned to my legs, I steadied myself on the floor, resting my forehead against the wall. "This shouldn't feel so good," I grumbled. With his hands on my waist, he pulled out of me and turned my body, making me face him. I was still breathless. "I'm going to break your stupid rule now," he said before pressing his lips to mine, kissing me passionately, sucking and teasing my tongue. Our kiss grew deeper, without urgency, just exploring and enjoying each other without haste. When his lips parted from mine, he caressed my face with his thumb. "Deal with it and stop running away," he said. "Give me a minute before we start this conversation," I said. My reason hadn't fully returned yet. Pushing away from his chest, I moved out of the space between his body and the wall. Only then did I notice the luxurious boudoir-style suite around me. With cozy lighting, cream-colored walls, and dark brown and red furniture. A huge bed occupied one corner, and the
ELLIE Waking up next to Ethan only made me realize how difficult it would be to deal with all of this when the time came. But I decided not to suffer in advance. We still had two days, and I would make the most of that time by his side. I couldn't deny that a part of me was disappointed by how resolute he was in handling what was happening between us. He didn't even consider the idea of trying. To me, that meant he didn't like me, not in a passionate way. Not that I didn't believe his words when he said he cared, I did, but the way he seemed to care had nothing to do with romantic feelings. What it seemed was that he cared about me just because I was the woman he was having sex with, and just because the sex was amazing, he wanted to keep it that way. This must also have been the reason for his possessiveness. Sex seemed to be the only reason he wanted to be with me. Not that it was a bad thing. But I knew it wasn't enough for either of us. In his case, it wasn't enough to fall in
ELLIE Acordei sentindo algo longo, duro e quente pressionando minha bunda. Já era manhã? Uma luz fraca entrava no quarto por meio de pequenas frestas na janela. Ethan estava agarrado a mim, com pernas enroscaras nas minhas. Estávamos nus? A noite passada era apenas um borrão na minha mente. Não lembrava de nada após o jantar. Sua mão percorreu a curva lateral do meu corpo, da minha cintura até meu quadril, me deixando ciente que estava acordado. — Acordei você? — Sussurrou perto da minha orelha, sua voz soando mais profunda que o habitual, fazendo meu corpo arrepiar enquanto sentia seu o pau pressionando minha bunda, despertando meu desejo. — Sinto muito. — Ele se esfregou novamente, mais forte. — Não, não sinto. — Corrigiu-se. Acordar com seu corpo quente pressionando o meu, era tão bom que poderia me acostumar com isso. — Está me ouvindo reclamar? — Murmurei antes de esfregar minha bunda contra ele, ansiosa para senti-lo dentro de mim. Fechei os olhos arqueando minhas costas e pou
ELLIE I woke up feeling something long, hard, and hot pressing against my ass. Was it already morning? Dim light entered the room through small cracks in the window. Ethan was clinging to me, his legs entwined with mine. Were we naked? Last night was just a blur in my mind. I didn't remember anything after dinner. His hand traced the curve of my body from my waist to my hip, making me aware that he was awake. "Did I wake you up?" he whispered near my ear. His voice sounded deeper than usual, sending shivers down my spine as I felt his cock pressing against my ass, arousing my desire. "I'm sorry." He rubbed himself against me again, harder. "No, I'm not sorry," he corrected himself. Waking up with his warm body pressing against mine felt so good that I could get used to it. "Are you hearing me complain?" I murmured before rubbing my ass against him, eager to feel him inside me. I closed my eyes, arching my back and resting my head on his shoulder. "Touch me," I requested, my cli
