Kaleigh’s eyebrows shoot up. “Wow. He’s hot. Where’s he taking you?”Cora tucks away her phone. “I think we’re going to some restaurant that just opened downtown. He wants me to come to his show. You should come with me. The lead singer is single.”Kaleigh wiggles her eyebrows. “Single and hopefully not looking for commitment. The last thing I need while building my career is a man to tie me down.”Cora laughs and crosses one long leg over the other. “I’m not into dating anyone either, but I don’t know. I guess it could be fun to have somebody around from time to time. Work is busy, and it keeps me occupied, but I don’t mind a distraction right now, you know?”My blood boils as I pull away from the bookshelf and walk back to my desk.A friend or not, I don’t like the idea of her hanging out with another guy.There is no way that my wife is going to go out on a date and humiliate me. It’s not happening.I don’t care what I have to do to stop the date from happening. Cora is not going o

CoraI should really be at home right now, shaving my legs before sliding into a little black dress for my night out with my friend Theo and his band.Instead, I’m staring at the mountain of case files on the desk in front of me, trying to figure out how to get out of working with Griffin.I don’t know why he wanted me to be the one to stay late with him.A part of me thinks he wants to ruin my Friday night fun, but there is no way he could know about that.It’s frustrating how he effortlessly ruins everything.I sigh and grab a file, kicking off my heels as the last lawyer leaves for the day and replacing them with the slippers I keep beneath my desk.Griffin looks up from the files in front of him as I walk into his office and shut the door.The janitors will be up to clean soon, and I don’t want to be disturbed by the sound of the floor being polished.I drop the case file onto Griffin’s desk before dropping into the seat across from him. “So, have you filed an annulment yet?”“Wha

I throw my hands up in the air and take a step back. “I have no interest in your money! If Jake hadn’t insisted that I take this job instead of working two others, I wouldn’t be here!”Griffin pours himself a cup of coffee. “You were going to work two jobs?”“I don’t have much of a choice. And it’s not that strange. Plenty of people work two or more jobs to make ends meet.”“You didn’t have to take this job. I certainly didn’t need to offer it.” He opens the mini fridge and pulls out a container of cream. He splashes some into his coffee and takes a sip before looking at me. “You know where the door is if you want to leave. That would make this divorce less messy than it already is.”I rake a hand through my hair, spinning away from him and pacing across the room. “You hate me, yet you’re the one making this more complicated. Just get your lawyers to write up the damn papers saying that I get nothing, and I will happily sign them.”There is a thud as Griffin puts the coffee mug down.

I press my thighs together as he trails his fingers lower, sliding down the zipper on the side of my skirt.He gives it a slight tug over my hips, and my skirt puddles on the floor. Griffin gets to his knees in front of me, removing the rest of my clothing in a swift motion.His hand trails up my leg before it hooks behind my knee. He brings my leg up over his shoulder, forcing me to lean back against the desk.I prop myself on my forearms on the desk, watching him through hooded eyes. My breath hitches as his fingers brush along my pussy through the thin fabric of my thong.“Griff…”He glances up at me as he pushes my thong to the side. “You’re already soaked for me. I think you were lying about barely liking me, Cora.”Griffin pushes two fingers into me, my pussy clenching around him.I bite back a moan as his thumb circles my clit. “Maybe.”He smirks, his tongue flicking out against my clit. My hips buck forward, and he chuckles.His mouth closes over my clit. His tongue traces tea

GiffinCora yawns and sprawls out on the couch, her feet dangling. She holds the document she’s reading high above her head.She puts the paper down and tilts her head back to look at me. “I think we should get going. It’s late, and it’s been a long day.”Which is likely a polite way of saying she wants nothing to do with me after I fucked her on my desk.But I want everything to do with her.There is no good way to tell her that. Our relationship is complicated as it is. I don’t need to make it worse by telling her that I want her all for myself—no, I realize I need her like I need air.I stretch and get up from the chair, collecting the evidence files to bring home with me. “Alright. Let’s pack this up, and I’ll take you home.”I don’t know when my desperation for her started. It would be impossible to pinpoint an exact date.Somewhere between when she started working for me and right now, I started caring a lot more about what Cora thinks about me.Cora collects the papers and stac

Her cheeks flare a bright red as she dumps her purse on the counter. “I don’t know why the two of you think that you can run my life.”I sigh and walk past her, going down the hall to where I assume her bedroom is. “Since I’m guessing you don’t want me to call your brother, I’ll help you pack.”“Fine!” Cora brushes by me, giving me a sharp glare as she flicks on the lights and enters her bedroom. “One night. That’s it, and it’s just so you won’t rat me out to Jake.”I lean in the doorway as she grabs a bag from her closet. “He worries about you because you’re so stubborn. I wouldn't have known anything if I hadn’t come here tonight. But now that I’ve seen where you live, I can’t let you stay here, Cora. Jake would be mad at me if he found out I knew where you were living and didn’t do anything about it.”She whirls around, the duffle bag dangling from her hand. “You’ve been talking to my brother about me? Does he know that we’re married?”“He said you’ve been acting weird lately. He’s

Grinning, I reach out to twirl a strand of her hair around my finger. I give it a light tug before slamming the trunk shut. “It would be interesting to see what happens if we got along with each other for more than ten minutes at a time.”“You saw what happened when we did that.” A flush spreads across her cheeks, though mischief shines in her eyes.I round the car and open the passenger door for her. “I know exactly what happened. Now, come on, we should go home and get some sleep.”Screw sleep. I’ll be going for the coldest shower of my life.Cora turns up the music as I get in the car. She hums along with the song, her fingers drumming on her thighs.Her attention stays focused on the bright lights blurring by the car as I leave her neighborhood behind and head for my beachfront house.One thing I love the most about living in Maine is my New England-style home on a private beach. This home was the first thing I bought for myself after taking over the firm.I love nothing more than

CoraThe elevator music has never been more annoying than it is the following Friday morning. I’ve lived with Griffin for the last few days, but I may as well be living with a ghost.I don’t know what I expected when I agreed to stay with him, but I certainly didn’t anticipate feeling so… lonely.The elevator dings, and the doors slide open as I reach the top floor. I step out and glance toward Griffin’s office.He’s already sitting behind his desk with a highlighter in hand.It's the same thing he’s been doing for the whole week while he avoids me.Kaleigh appears in the doorway of her office, her jacket half-on and papers spilling from her hands. “I’m going to be late to court one of these days. I need a new assistant. Mine forgot to put the latest case on the calendar.”I hand her the coffee I'd bought on my way here. “Take this and try not to rush too much. It’s pouring out, and the roads are slick.”“Thanks. I don’t know how the hell I’m going to get through the day. At least it’

CoraOne Year LaterThe Colorado sun sets, casting a pink and orange glow over the world as I fluff out the skirt of my white dress.Kaleigh smiles, her eyes shining as she helps me adjust my veil. “You are stunning. I can’t believe you’re finally doing this.”I laugh, taking my bouquet of peonies from Sophie. “I’ve been married to him for over a year now.”“Yeah, but this is the real deal.” Sophie wipes away a stray tear. “We’re all so happy for you.”The doors open, and Jake strides inside. “How’s my favorite sister on her wedding day?”I hug him tight. “I’m good. Does this mean they’re ready to start?”Kaleigh nods as the wedding planner gives her a thumbs-up. She gives me a quick hug before hurrying away with Sophie.Jake stands beside me, holding out his arm. “Mom and Dad are sitting in the front row, and they haven’t stopped crying since we got here.”“Jake, please,” I blink my eyes a few times before looping my arm through his, “You’re going to make me cry.”“You look beautiful

Cora nods and smiles as she leans back, looking content. “I’m looking forward to living with you again.”“Well, you better. And hey, we never did get to fuck on the porch like you wanted; maybe we should take the champagne and celebrate properly.”Cora laughs, a blush creeping down her cheeks. “You were the one who threatened it first,” she says.“You were definitely into it. Couldn’t keep your hands off me,” I tease.Cora rolls her eyes playfully. “Sure, keep dreaming.”“We’ve got an hour before everyone arrives for the barbecue.” I park the car in the driveway and hop out, leaning back toward the open door to look at her. “You coming to celebrate with me?”“I’m coming.” Cora nods eagerly, hurrying inside.I follow her, kicking off my shoes as the door closes behind us. She turns around to face me, kicking off her shoes and pulling her shirt over her head.My cock springs to life as she hooks her fingers in the sides of her shorts, pulling them down her toned legs.She stands in a li

GriffinSophie shoots daggers at me as I assist Cora in boxing up her belongings at her place. The moment Cora steps away to gather her toiletries, Sophie steps in front of me, her finger wagging in my face."You put her through the wringer when we were younger," she hisses, checking over her shoulder to ensure Cora is out of earshot. "Then you break her heart, and now you're back for a third round? If you hurt her again, nobody will ever find your body.""I'll help with that," Kaleigh chimes in, entering the room with Jake trailing behind her. "The truck's loaded up from the storage unit."Sophie prods me in the chest before backing off. "You're skating on thin ice, Griffin Blake. But she loves you, and I can see how much you love her. Only a man completely devoted to my best friend would dare set foot in this apartment after serving her divorce papers just weeks ago."Kaleigh nods enthusiastically and heads to the fridge, yanking it open to retrieve a bottle of champagne. "When Cora

Gloria’s deep burgundy lips curl as she turns to face her son. “Really, if you must lower your standards, at least find someone decent.”“Enough!” Griffin’s voice is louder than I’ve ever heard, his gaze blazing with rage. “I told you to leave my house, and I meant it. I won’t have you here, and I won’t be part of your lives anymore. I’m done living a puppet life!”Gloria crosses her arms, cocking a hip to the side. “Griffin—you’re going to regret this.”Griffin gives a bitter laugh. “No, I don’t think so. It’s what I should’ve done the moment I became an adult, and I definitely should’ve done the moment I found out you two were behind leaking the story about Cora.”My blood boils as I glare at his parents.How can his parents hurt him so much?Griffin looks at me with an expression I can’t quite read before brushing by all of us and holding the door open wide. “Mom and Dad, you can both leave now. I’m done with this conversation.”Rick shakes his head, his face turning a deeper shade

CoraI've been tapping away at the keyboard, trying to create a business plan, but it's like my brain's taken a vacation.All I can think about is my dream of starting a media company and traveling the world, but now, all those dreams are tangled up with Griff.I want him and those dreams together, but he just wants to call it quits.I lean back, lacing my fingers behind my head, and look around Sophie's place. It doesn't feel like home.I miss having my own space, like Griff's house... But thinking about that just brings on the waterworks. I shove the laptop aside.How can I focus on a business when there's a divorce waiting for me?Sophie walks into the room as I’m about to review the papers again.“Please tell me you’ll sign those and then take whatever you can get from him.” She says.“I don’t want his money. He can have it all and burn it,” I say, setting the papers down, feeling sick at the thought of Griffin.Sophie rolls her eyes and sits down across from me.“I admire that yo

"That's not the point, Griffin." Jake rubs his temples. "She loves you, damn it. You married her, you started a life together, and now you're just ending it like it's nothing?"I slam the mug down on the counter, some of the steamy coffee sloshing over the side and onto the back of my hand. “For fuck’s sake.”Pain blooms as I spin and cram my hand under the tap, turning on the water and letting it run until the sting subsides. I wrap my hand up in a towel before cleaning the spilled mess.When I’m done, I look at Jake, tightness spreading in my chest. “Do you really think that leaving Cora was easy?”“You sure make it seem that way.”I sigh. “No. It’s not. It’s hard as hell, and I feel like I’m climbing a mountain with the weight of the world strapped to my back every fucking day.”Jake’s brow furrows, the lines on his face deepening. “None of this is making any sense. Your relationship got leaked to the media, so what? Nobody cares.”I bite my cheek, trying to figure out how much he

GriffinI shouldn’t have sent Cora those divorce papers. Instead, I should have told her I was a fool and begged for another chance.It's been five agonizing days since I had an associate deliver them to her. Deep down, I know it was the right choice, but that doesn't stop thoughts of Cora from haunting me.I keep telling myself that splitting up is for the best.Cora deserves better than my family's constant insults and belittling. They treat her as if she's inferior just because her life isn't picture-perfect in their eyes.I sigh heavily and push myself off the couch, surveying the empty bottles of whiskey and beer scattered on the coffee table.They've been my companions, helping me numb the pain and get through the sleepless nights.My father's voice echoes in my head, reminding me of my failures and how I'll never measure up.But tonight, I can't drown out the ache in my chest or the memories of Cora's smile.I wish I could just erase my parents from my life. It's a thought that

When we arrive, Kaleigh sits at a table with a cheese pizza and a couple of beers in front of her.She grins and raises her beer to me. “It’s nice to see that you’re returning to the land of the living. We’ve missed you.”“I make no promises to stay here long.” I slide onto the bench seat beside her and reach for one of the other beers.Kaleigh smiles and takes a sip of her beer. “That’s understandable. All of this seemed to come out of nowhere.”Sophie sits down across from us and snags a slice of pizza. “That’s because he is an idiot with too much money who’s used to buying his way out of any hard situation in life. Now that he can’t, he is running away like a scared child.”“I don’t think that’s all of it.” I grab a slice of pizza and take a bite.Children laugh and race by our table, heading for the rows and rows of games. Loud music pounds through the building, making it nearly impossible to hear anyone more than a few feet away.Kaleigh shrugs, her expression thoughtful. “I don’

CoraSophie tosses a throw pillow at my head as she walks into the living room and finds me buried beneath a blanket on the couch again. “You have to stop this wallowing.”“I’m not wallowing.” I toss the pillow back at her. “I’m conserving my energy before the rest of my life turns into a flaming pile of shit around me. As if it couldn’t get any worse.”Sophie cracks a smile and pushes my feet out of the way, sitting down on the end of the couch. “Cora, you weren’t even this upset when you caught Victor cheating on you.”I give her a flat look. “What I had with Griff was different. It meant so much more, and now that it’s over, I don’t know what to do with myself.”“It doesn’t have to be over. You could storm his house and talk to him again—insist he’s wrong.”"Yeah, and look like a fool begging for a man who clearly doesn’t want me the way I want him?” I scoff and sit up, running a hand through my hair and trying to work through some of the tangles.Sophie takes the pillow and throws
