Second Chance Arrangement Chapter 13
PaigeDallas is staring at me from the kitchen table as I apply makeup in front of the mirror, groaning for the billionth time. “Why do you have to be so cruel?”I meet his eyes in the mirror. “Cruel?” “Mhm,” he leans forward, bracing his elbows on his knees while looking tortured. There is a pout on his lips. “When you agreed to paraglide with me, I didn’t expect you to doll yourself up for the occasion.”“Oh,” disappointment fills my chest. “You don’t like it?” Am I doing too much?“That’s not what I meant,” he sighs and stares at me intently. “It’s just that you look really good with that red lipstick on. That pouty mouth? I’m tempted to stay at home and see it wrapped around my cock instead.”A tingle starts in my toes and travels through my entire body until I’m fluttering all over. But instead of smiling at the compliment, I frown.“Keep talking like that, and I’m leaving you at home.”Dallas grins like the Cheshire Cat. “Because you will be too horny to enjoy the date?” I gape

PaigeTwo weeks pass in a flash. Dallas and I spend the days apart. He goes to the gym, sees his agent, and runs other errands related to his football career while I’m at home, drawing cartoon characters to earn a living. We spend the evenings together, watching series while cuddling on the couch or cooking together.We are happy.Perhaps too happy?We never really argue. Not when Dallas knows how to turn everything into a joke. It’s irritating, but at the same, I go tight and hot in all the right places when I see him smile or hear him laugh, so I don’t mind. Letting back into my life was the best decision I’ve ever made. Happiness is all around, but when I think of the rotten truth that he doesn’t know: that we were together for years before he lost his memories, I feel like the worst person on earth. I should tell Dallas the truth, but…his lost memories haven’t been brought up even once. Not even Julian has asked me about it…which is a bit strange. Shouldn’t Dallas’ agent be inte

PaigeI’m doing the dishes the morning after I slept with Dallas. He is at the gym, and I’m in a happy place right now. Most of my walls have crumbled. I’m no longer feeling hesitant about letting Dallas become the main character in my life. I want him in it, and I never want him to leave. It’s been years since I felt this giddy about a guy, and the funny part is that the last time I felt like this, Dallas was the cause of it.He is my first and my second love.My heart flutters at that thought, and I smile while drying off the plates Dallas, and I used for breakfast. To be honest, he isn’t the best at cooking, but he tried to make us omelets, and it was the sweetest thing ever. The big guy never cooked for me in the past, which makes me think he is turning a new leaf with his memory loss.Suddenly, there is a knock on the door, and I blink in surprise. I’m not expecting any company. Is Dallas already home?I head over to the hallway, dressed in Dallas’ oversized bleached t-shirt and

PaigeThe seconds tick by like sand, slowly falling to the bottom of an hourglass before Dallas finally answers the question. “You are the one in control, Paige. We will go with whatever decision you make.”I stare down at the floor, lost in thought. Part of me wants to unlock the door and hug Dallas. I’m in love with him—I’m not stupid enough not to realize that, but I also don’t trust him. What if he abandons me once his interest fades? It’s definitely a possibility.“I...” I hold my breath and pause for a moment, considering my options before exhaling. “I don’t know what I want yet.”“Fair enough...” Dallas falls silent before I hear him shifting behind the bathroom door. “Would you mind coming out of there to talk to me?”“Yeah...of course...” I’m about to unlock the door, but then I think better of it. Seeing Dallas’ blue eyes and charming smile would weaken my resolve to keep some distance between us. Shit. Why didn’t I think of that? I try to buy time by coming up with somethin

Dallas I watch Paige shuffle through the hangers on the hunt for a new bathing suit. She seems very into it, and that’s why I say nothing about us being in the children’s department. Maybe her plan is to wear Bambi over her tits so that I won’t spend the entire day checking her out on our trip on the yacht tomorrow? My fingers curl tighter around my coffee cup. Paige is too into her search to pay me any attention, so I take a seat on a nearby chair, watching my fiery little redhead until the sales clerk approaches her. “Sweetie, do you need help with anything?” Sweetie? I lift my eyebrows. The sales clerk woman must think Paige is a child, probably because her left arm is acting like a hanger for a bunch of children’s clothing. Paige is also pretty short and isn’t using makeup which gives her a very youthful look. “I’m fine, thank you,” Paige replies with a tight smile before returning her attention to the bathing suits. That’s my Paige—determined and fully focused on her task.

Paige “Dallas, we are going to be late meeting your friend if you don’t get up and get dressed.” The lineman on my couch grumbles his response, but he still isn’t fully awake. I watch him from above. His face is relaxed, his expression innocent, angelic, and vulnerable. His long dark eyelashes lie soft against his cheeks, and there are some freckles peppered over his skin from the sun. His brown hair, which is usually styled, curls slightly toward his face in different directions, and I try not to laugh. Dallas truly looks like an angel in the mornings, and unable to help myself, I take a seat on the couch. I run my fingers through his soft hair and giggle when he immediately relaxes and seems to fall deeper asleep. “I’m doing this to wake you up, silly,” I say in an amused tone. “Wakey-wakey, Dallas.” His blue eyes open all the way, and I rest my gaze on his beautiful face. I’m staring at the sweep of his dark lashes, and when he smiles, my heart prickles. What am I doing sittin

PaigeI’m sitting below deck with an ugly knitted blanket wrapped around my shoulders, wishing I was anywhere but on this damn yacht in the middle of the ocean.I never knew I was the kind of person to get seasick, but when the yacht bobbles up and down on the water again, I almost throw up. Misery is all around, and Dallas looks concerned when I hug myself.“Are you alright?” he asks from the doorframe, big arms parked over his muscular chest.I scowl. “Let’s see... I’m on a yacht with my ex-boyfriend and his friends, and everyone is excited about the drinking games tonight while I already puked thirty minutes ago. Yeah, I think everything is perfectly fine.”Dallas chuckles at the sarcasm in my voice, and his arms fall into the pockets of his shorts. He isn’t wearing a t-shirt, but it’s not his abs that seize the air in my lungs; it’s the dimples around his mouth. His smile is beautiful enough to disarm me and make me feel like a toothless tiger, especially when he aims it in my dir

HopeTaylor and her friends are still laughing as I push myself off Dallas’ chest. I’m horrified about what I’ve just done, and most of all, I just want to sink through the floor, but despite my wishes, I don’t stand up. The world is spinning, and everything gets even worse when I realize Dallas is fuming.I swallow thickly. “I’m... I’m...” I can’t bring myself to apologize as I stare at my vomit that is all over Dallas’ muscular chest.He doesn’t look happy about it, either.His jaw is clenched tight as he stands up. I’m fully expecting him to yell at me, but surprisingly, he helps me up from the deck. Why is he helping me? I can tell he isn’t happy. I can literally feel the heat radiating from his body, and it’s not from the sun. Yet he hasn’t raised his voice—something the old Dallas definitely would have done.“You okay?” he asks through gritted teeth.I nod, my face hot with shame. “I’m sorry, Dallas. I didn’t mean to—”“It’s fine,” he cuts me off. “Let’s just get you cleaned up.

Second Chance Arrangement Epilogue
Dallas I’m standing at the altar, and my heart is racing. I swear everyone can hear it thumping in my chest. It’s louder than a stampede of wild animals, louder than any NFL game I have ever played. And at the end of the aisle is Paige, the woman of my dreams. I pinch myself to make sure this isn’t a dream because there’s no way I could be this lucky... Gabriel sniffles behind me. He is Paige’s best man, while Julian is mine. I don’t know how my teammate Gabriel became such good friends with my soon-to-be-wife, but while planning the wedding, they somehow found each other. Paige’s eyes are locked onto mine, and I can feel the warmth of her love radiating off of her. Her dress—a delicate white lace—hugs her curves in all the right places, and I can’t wait to get my hands on her. Suddenly, she’s there in front of me, and the ceremony begins. I’m not even sure what the priest or rabbi—I can’t remember which one we hired—is saying. All I can focus on is Paige and how lucky I am to have
Second Chance Arrangement Chapter 26
Paige It’s been a month since the doctor diagnosed me with Gilbert’s Syndrome, and I’m already feeling the benefits of my diet change. Dallas has really helped me stay away from unhealthy sugars and kept me accountable, even though it hasn’t been easy. I love him, though, probably even more than before. He pulls me close every morning with cuddles and kisses before he heads off to the gym—what a sap! I don’t have to worry about Dallas leaving me for some supermodel; he loves me too much. When he is around, I forget all the worries and stress that come with a chronic illness. We spend most of our days sunbathing or swimming. We love trying new restaurants and checking out art galleries to pretend we have some class, and Dallas has promised me we are going back to Sweden pretty soon since I love that country. He is such a sweetheart. With a goofy grin on my face, I follow Dallas’ agent until our seats come into view. There’s a placard sign in my hand, and when Julian’s gaze lands on
Second Chance Arrangement Chapter 25
PaigeWith a confident smile, I stroll inside the mansion wearing just my black bikini. Dallas is right: I’ve been treating him poorly ever since I stopped eating sugar, and now it’s time to make things right. But instead of giving him an apology through words, I plan on taking him in my mouth and sucking him dry inside his office. He won’t complain, right?I walk up the stairs and don’t even hesitate to push up his office door even though I can hear he is busy. Bright blue eyes meet mine, and my lips curve when I see Dallas sitting in his chair with his phone pressed to his ear. He is wearing a crisp white shirt and is probably about to enter a meeting with his agent after he is done on the phone. It would explain his sudden change of attire.“Hold on a moment, my girlfriend just entered the room,” Dallas brings his attention away from the phone and offers me a smile. “I’m about to be in a meeting, honey. But if you’re hungry, my private chef is downstairs—”His voice trails off when
Second Chance Arrangement Chapter 24
Paige I grab the keys to Dallas’ car, and we rush out of the house. Since I’m unsure how bad my condition is, I don’t speak a word, and neither does Dallas. We drive to the hospital in complete silence, both of us too scared to say anything. When we arrive, I am quickly taken into an examining room by a friendly nurse, and various tests are run that show my liver enzymes are highly elevated. The doctor informs me that I have a condition called Gilbert’s Syndrome—a mild form of liver disorder—which is entirely manageable with a proper diet and exercise plan and regular checkups. He prescribes some medications for me and provides instructions on how to manage my condition. I’m basically not allowed to eat “fun food” that contains a lot of sugar, like my breakfast cereal and the high-fatty foods that I enjoy. It sucks, but what can you do? After I finish up at the hospital, Dallas drives me back home with his hand squeezing mine over the middle console. I have this strange feeling ther
Second Chance Arrangement Chapter 23
Paige“And this is the master bedroom,” Dallas waves his hand in the air without much excitement behind his voice, sort of like he is presenting me with something boring while I stare.There isn’t much else I can do. I lost the ability to speak the moment I saw his grand mansion. Like, Jesus Christ. I know his football career took off after we broke up, but this place is insane.“Paige?” Dallas asks in a concerned voice. “Are you okay?”“Umm...sorry, I just...this place is a little much.”He grins like the Cheshire Cat. “Do you like it?”Honestly?I think I’ve entered heaven. I can’t stop gawking. The room is everything you would expect a bedroom belonging to a rich NFL player to be: enormous, opulent, dripping with luxury from wall to wall. Everything is perfectly in its place like it was pulled straight out of an interior design magazine. From the four-poster bed with its crisp white linens and dreamy mattress that looks so inviting that I want to jump straight right. Not to mention
Second Chance Arrangement Chapter 22
PaigeDallas and I leave the yacht and set foot in Sweden. I’ve never been here before.The streets are filled with people and a lot of new sights. A few men smile or wink at me as they walk past us, but Dallas just clasps my delicate hand in his, drawing it to his lips and placing a sweet kiss on the back to show them I’m his. It’s sexy seeing him get territorial, and I can’t help but blush.He leads us through the Old Town—the buildings are so tall and beautiful, looking like something out of a fairytale book. We pass quaint little shops selling handmade goods from around the world. I stop to admire a dainty little wooden jewelry box made in Sweden, but Dallas simply smiles and tugs me away.I pout. “Hey, I was looking at that!”“You don’t really need it, do you?”“What do you mean by that?!”“Don’t take this the wrong way, babe, but you have a history of collecting crap and never actually doing anything with it. It all collects dust inside your apartment.”He isn’t wrong. There is
Second Chance Arrangement Chapter 21
DallasIf I’d believed I’d get something more than a goodnight kiss by bringing Paige to my bed, I was sorely wrong.As we lay in my bed with her delicate body resting on top of my larger one, it becomes painfully obvious that no matter how willing she appears in her drunkenness, I can’t take advantage of the situation. Not when she is in such a whimsical and befuddled state.“I really like you, Dallas...like, way more than I probably should.” Paige hiccups while drawing a tiny heart around my hardened nipple. She is naked and rubbing her wet pussy against my hard cock. It’s mental torture knowing that I can’t touch or fuck her since she isn’t in a sober enough state to make any decisions.I take a deep breath, which really does nothing to calm my nerves. I’m still as hard as a fucking rock, but I need to play my cards right. If I fuck Paige tonight, then I won’t ever win back her heart.“Dallas...” Paige looks up at my eyes, drunker than ever, and I have to bite back a smile. She nev
