Arnold's POV"Date me and no one will know that you are out there screwing your patients Dr Thomas"Is the first thing Miss nurse said to me before I could settle down and begin to attend to my patient. "What are you talking about Miss …?"There is an M and a James but she is definitely not a James. "Let's See...you don't even know my name! Look at me Dr Thomas, who will ever say no to this babies"She made an exaggerated move, popping her boobs into my face as I stood up from my chair blocking her from coming any closer. "Leave my office this instance" I ordered ,getting enough of this madness."I promise you that you will regret this""You won't do anything""Watch me file a case with video evidence of you and a patient fucking,a male patient for that matter ,what a juicy scandal it will be for our so perfect Australian Doctor" This is too early for this, I sighed, gritting my teeth."What do you want?" I asked surprisingly too calmly for my own liking and she smirked edging close
Lucas's POV"Welcome to my space ,it's not much" that's what the really wealthy people will say when I'm standing in the most expensive side of town in some kind of eco friendly self operating condo. Do doctors really earn this much? I mean Arnold is really young.Just five years older than I but maybe it's an Australian money thing?"Come on ,follow me" he motioned for me and I stood not wanting my booths to spoil the sparkling white rug carpet. We were enjoying the ride under the rain till it got really heavy and his happens to be the closest thing nearby."Hey, it's alright" I took one look at my booths and took them off holding them in my hands as I followed him into a restroom."Make yourself comfortable, while I go fix us some hot soup ""Soup, this late?""I have some in the refrigerated, will just have to microwave it""Oh okay" I smiled and head to the rest room closing the door behind me and taking my wets clothes off. The water was the right temperature and I mean why not?
Lucas POVI kissed another of the purple splotches on his torso, licked my way to another, each time pressing my lips across a spot where he’d taken a beating during the game. “Fuck,”he whispered, his body writhing beneath me as if I was treating him to the most sensual pleasure. I kissed my way down his stomach, to the bruise on his hip bone and the one on his side, tasting the skin as I went.“Thomas…please…” he begged. I knew we didn’t have much time. My phone call had wasted most of it. I also knew I wouldn’t need the condoms I’d brought with me.When he finally had me or gave me his ass, I didn’t want to be rushed.“What do you want, Bashful? Tell me. I want to hear the words, otherwise I’m not going to do anything except make out with your body until you leave.” He chuckled, then cupped the back of my head, ran his fingers through my hair, and pushed me toward his groin. “Ticktock. We don’t have much time. Tell me.” "Suck my dick,” Arnold replied, his voice hoarse with obvio
Arnold's POVAfter our beautiful night together, Lucas slept immediately while I watch him sleep. Who will ever guess that this beast in the field could look this cute, relaxed almost innocent but wouldn't say that. Not after tonight. I hope he wouldn't catch any cold. Picked up my phone and took some cute shots before finally sleeping away. Called and cancelled all my schedule and made breakfast for mine and I while he just blushed and silently ate. "You stay here alone?""Yes""Nice place""Guess yesterday was too busy, you didn't notice?" He only blushed and took a bigger bite of the waffles."What's your plan for today?""Practice, maybe""But it's weekend""It's s choice since…" but he kept quiet and I did not wanting to stress it. He ended up inviting me over to his place where we spoke so much about everything and nothing.We didn’t talk much the rest of the way to his house, which was unlike his , a secluded area of the city, surrounded by other homes and people who also wan
Luca's POV"Sophia, it's not what you think! " I shouted standing up ,running with my clothes half way up leaving Arnold behind, didn't even wait to see his reaction."Sophia!" Please come back. I shouted running and stepping on the paperback containing some fruits . I definitely ruined this ,all this big time and I knew I was done for.Sophia doesn't deserve this and not in this way. I'm still coming into terms with my sexuality ,the least I could do is break up with her or something. But I have known Sophia all my life and I can't possibly imagine a world without her,what will the football industry say,her parents and my parents? All these is really fucked up. "Leave me the fuvk alone!" She shouted with tears streaming down her eyes."She was already in cmhee car, shaking " the door was locked and I tried to open the door,"Hey, hey " I whispered through the window trying to calm her down . Sophia could get panic attack from adding a pound and I still car wabout her not to ruin it.
Luca's POV"Thank you so much Arnold for doing this"I said to him, already dressed in his scrubs, labcoat and ID card."It's nothing Lucas," he said, smiling at me."Arnold meet my mother, Asher and we'll Sophia" Mother gave him a tight smile, Asher had a deadstare sizing him up with Sophia just turned her Face."Well, this way please. Put on the protective gears , slides and face mask please ""Okay" we followed the instruction am followed him into a wide open room with father in the middle. Several sophisticated machines connected to him. The whole place is so white and sparkling with a heavy smell of drugs and chemicals. "Darling '' mother whipped running towards father only for the to stop and gently bend down over father while a nurse and Dr Arnold stood a little bit far.Nurse observed while Arnold was going through some papers. Father opened his eyes slightly and smiled at us ,tears rolling from his side. Mother was in tears as she gentkey held his hands. "It's going to be al
Luca's POV"Tell me it's a lie""It's true coach" "Ouch,that hurts" he hit me with two balls at a go as I unfailing dodged them."You should have kept your scandal to yourselves till after the match!""A stalker did it" I blamed"Well, that's by the way. Who you fuck is not my fucking problem Edgar, I just need you to put you all in this game. Thanks to your love life we are now in the spotlight, we have to win to prove to them . You being gay doesn't mean you are less!""That's so considerate of you coach. Thank you so much!" I said surprised at how people are actually cool with the whole thing. Guess time is changing so is the world embracing it. "Don't thank me yet young man, if we loose regardless of what the situation is. You're out of my team ""But Coach…""That's it!" He said going towards the football pitch and I sighed dragging myself. Our final practice and tactics is on and we have to put our all in all for the championship."Hey guys " I said to the team members as they
Luca's POV "The world’s smallest continent and the largest island, Australia, my new found paradise. Here we come""Didn't know you are a travel enthusiast" Arnold said laughing while sensually running his hands on my thighs."Why are you this calm and not hyped ,even the air hair smells so fresh and pure""We are still in the plane "By"Yeah, but I could feel it. ""This was once home ,you know""It will always be, " I said, squeezing his hands gently as we prepared to alight."So many Destination ,where are we starting from""Calm your horses Edgar,we will take a ride round to Hunter Valley. My parents own a winery there and a ranch …""Guess, they are aware of our visit then""They live in the city of Melbourne, will hardly know and even if they do. Won't care" he said with a sad tone that he quickly masked."Let's go explore paradise, my love"He smiled and led the way while I reamiend a step back admiring the whole serenity that comes with being Australia or maybe it's because I
I roll my eyes.“Because that’s your surprise! It means that we’re having a baby,Xander , and the blue interior means that it’s a boy.”My boyfriend’s mouth drops open and he stares at me.“Are you serious,Sophia? I’m going to be a father?”I nod, bouncing on the heels of my feet in excitement.“Yes, I just found out yesterday! I took a pregnancy test and I’m definitely pregnant,Xander . We’re pregnant. You’re going to be a daddy.”He whoops and pulls me into his arms then, dancing around a bit.“A baby! A baby!” he keeps repeating, beyond excited for this moment. But then, Xander lets out a growl and pulls me closer to him, devouring my mouth with his own. “Thank you honey,” he rasps. “This means so much to me. This is the best gift a woman can give a man, and I appreciate it.”I moan into his kiss, my knees going weak as I melt into his broad chest.“I’m so glad you’re happy,” I murmur. But then I straighten. “How do you think Sassy is going to feel about being a big sister? I mean,
But are we celebrating something in particular?”Oops, I almost gave away my surprise. Quickly, I shake my head.“Nope, I just wanted to bake today. Sweet tooth, you know,” I say in a sassy tone before handing him a knife. “Here, cut.”He takes a moment to look it over and I can’t help but sigh again, looking at this damned thing. The cake’s pretty funny-looking, with a huge crater right in the middle, and the icing all lopsided because it’s spread too thin on one side and way too thick on the other. Plus, I attempted to add some fruit decorations, but it looks more like the fruit fairy barfed all over the damned thing. Well, at least I tried my best.But Xander knows better than to comment. Slowly, my man positions the knife and then cuts deep, showing off a deep blue interior.“Blue?” he asks, nonplussed. “That’s an interesting choice for cake.”“It is, isn’t it?” I ask mysteriously. “Here, take a bite.”With that, I feed him a large morsel of cake, and he chews and swallows before s
EPILOGUESophiaOne year later.I have no idea why I thought baking a cake for this occasion would be a smart idea. After all, I’m an excellent cook, but horrible when it comes to ovens. Although I’ve been improving a little bit as of late, this particular cake still looks like it went through a war.Ugh, how annoying. This discipline is so impossible because it’s really precise (sometimes down to the last gram) and you have to get everything exactly right, like “softened butter” and not “melted butter.” I sigh with exasperation. What’s the difference? Seriously, this exercise is going to kill me.But it’s too late to try to make another dessert or even redecorate the pastry on hand because I’m out of time. Xander will be arriving any moment now, and I want to give him his surprise asap, even if this cake looks incredibly amateur.Quickly, I frost the damned thing, muttering under my breath as the sugary paste gets everywhere. But then I stop and make myself inhale deeply. After all,
I just hope that she knows she’s safe now. As long as she’s with me, no one will ever harm her again. Hell, I’ll do worse than take out a knee next time. I’ll physically smash their head in, not to mention beating their brains into a pulp. My hands flex and clench as I snarl under my breath. No one hurts my girl, and that is my vow.But now, we’re safe and she leans against me, letting my warmth seep into her form.“Sweetheart, are you okay?” I murmur against her hair. “I know it’s been a rough night and you’re probably exhausted right now. Do you want to go up to bed? You don’t have to sleep in the master bedroom with me if you don’t want. I have plenty of space, and a very comfortable guest room too.”Sophia turns to look at me and my heart throbs painfully in my chest as she blinks a few times, tears pooling in her eyes. She’s so beautiful that it breaks my heart, but she nods.“Yes, I’m okay,” she whispers before taking a long, shuddering breath. “I just can’t believe today has unf
Sassy nods.“Yes, but what happened?” she demands. “I mean, guns? Violence?Duke? How in the world?”With that, Xander begins to speak, filling in the gaps. My man is straightforward and honest. He doesn’t get into the details, but he does mention that we were making love when Vinnie saw us.“Wait, what?!” Sassy gasps. “You were doing the what what? Come again?”Tears fill my eyes.“Please don’t be mad Sassy,” I beg. “It just happened between me and your dad. Neither of us expected it.”Xander nods.“Sparks flew, honey, and that was it. Sophia and I spent the weekend together at the cabin, and I hope you can accept our relationship because what we feel for each other is real. Maybe it was forged in fire, given the circumstances, but it’s also very genuine.”Sassy’s jaw drops down to the ground and her eyes are almost comically wide as they dart back and forth between her father and me. For what feels like an eternity, she doesn’t move, but then she leaps into action.“Of course I’m not
What’s going on?” I ask in a small voice. “What happened?”He takes a deep breath.“Well, let’s start at the beginning. You knew that man, right? The one on the stretcher who was wailing and screaming? He’s your ex-boyfriend, right?”I blink a few times.“Yes, that’s Vinnie. We came up to the cabin together, but as I mentioned, we broke up and he took off. What was he doing back on the mountain?”Xander sighs, shoving a hand through his hair and leaving the black strands ruffled.“Well, it seems that Duke had a change of heart after leaving you handcuffed and alone in the cabin. He decided that he was going to be the hero. So he turned tail and came back to the cabin to allegedly ‘save you.’ I guess he thought he was going to find you still handcuffed, and begging to be released.”I stare at him.“But by then, you’d come,” I say in a slow voice.Xander nods grimly.“Yes. I’d arrived by then, and it seems that when Duke peered in through the window, he saw us. Making love,”Xander clari
She looks up, biting her lip.“Well, Mr.Xander , you mentioned last night that you wanted to have a relaxing weekend, so I figured I better get out of your hair so you can do that. I don’t want to overstay my welcome, but thank you so much for your hospitality,” she babbles while struggling to get her jeans all the way on. “I know that technically, I wasn’t welcome at all because I sort of broke in, but—you get what I’m saying. Sorry.” She shakes her head in apology, staring at the floor. I shoot her an amused look.“Honey, you really think that after what we shared last night that I want you to leave?”She’s still staring at the floor.“Oh, I don’t want to intrude any more than I already have, Mr.Xander .”I get out of bed then, stark naked, and stand in front of her before putting a big hand beneath her chin to tip it up at me.“You’re not intruding, baby girl. I mean, yes, you broke in, but I’m fine with it. It was unexpected but you’re my daughter’s friend, so it’s no big deal. Be
