9 - Spread Your LegsIvyHe chuckled, the sound of his low smoky laugh spreading over my body and nestling between my legs. Fuck, I really want him. Especially the way his grin lit up his handsome face, the corners of his eyes crinkling, and the way his dark eyes gleamed with pure lust.Holding my jaw, Aiden brought me close and pressed his lips over mine. He growled, nipping at my bottom lip, “Such a greedy little Petal.”I smiled and pressed myself closer to him, inhaling his spicy male scent and tugging at the curls of his hair. He groaned and pulled me closer, if it was possible, his hands holding my hips and sliding down to cup my ass.A whimper made its way out of my lips when I felt him grow hard underneath me. I was soaking wet after the spanking, and even after that mind-blowing orgasm, I wanted more. More of Aiden. I pulled away when he took us to his table, my legs firmly wrapped around his strong hips. But then I got distracted by his neck. I kissed the soft skin below h
10 - Can I Join You?Aiden“Guess what I found on my way back here, Petal.” I had a small smile on my lips as I closed the main door behind me and looked at the box of macaroons that were Ivy’s favorite. After my call, I knew she was uneasy. I had to make sure she knew we were on the same page about what we had done. I still smelt like sex and her and fuck, it was the best feeling ever. I wanted to fuck her again. “Aiden.” My smile slipped off hearing that voice. I stayed frozen in the hallway as I looked at her golden hair in perfectly coiled waves, her face sharp and eyes cold as she titled her head at me and the box in my hands. “What the fuck are you doing here?” My voice was harsh enough to make anyone flinch, but it didn’t work on Addison. It never did. She would need a heart and emotions to know that I left her because I was angry at her, disappointed and miserable in our so-called relationship. “Addison said she wanted to talk to you.” My eyes flickered to Ivy. Her wide b
11 - Good GirlIvy“I prefer the lilac color.”“Of course, you do.” I pouted and batted my lashes at him, but he booped my nose and said, “Be good.” Aiden walked over to see another curtain. We were in IKEA, shopping for furniture and the necessary stuff for Aiden’s new home. After joining me in the shower, completely naked, he had conditioned my hair when I told him I already shampooed it and asked—no, ordered me, to stay steady and keep my back arched when he knelt on the bathroom floor to eat me out. I would have slipped and gotten concussion when I climaxed in a couple of minutes if his arm hadn’t held me. When we had finally walked out of the shower and got dressed, he told me he wanted to celebrate with me for getting a new home. “You bought a house?” I was excited. Very excited. So much. But it meant not having him at Hayden’s house more often. It meant no sharing breakfasts or dinners or showering together or sleeping with him on the bed after watching a scary movie togeth
12 - What IfIvy“Hi!” “Uh, hello.” I stood beside Aiden and waved at the girl who was holding a box of—“These are cupcakes.” She shoved them in Aiden’s hands and smiled at both of us. “I’m your neighbor, Mia Miller. Nice to meet you.”“Aiden Stone,” he said firmly. “This is Ivy and—” His phone rang in the kitchen and he offered an apology to both of us, “Sorry, I’ve got to take that.”As soon as he was out of the earshot, Mia looked at me and said, “Your husband is so hot!”I shook my head, heat creeping up my neck. “Aiden is not my husband.”She raised her brow and looked at the man on the phone in the hallway and back at me. “He wants to be, by the way he was looking at you.”I turned redder. She looked a few years younger than me, with shoulder length dark hair and bright green eyes that twinkled with mischief. “Mia!” Someone yelled her name, and it was amusing to see Mia turn red when she turned around to see a man near an expensive, sleek car. “I brought your favorite puddin
13 - Can I join in the hug?Aiden“Why are you so late—oh.” I watched Ivy’s blue eyes widen when she glanced beside me.“Hey, Bug,” Hayden grinned, looking at his little sister who stood at the doorway. Zara, the Princess of Azmia and fiancée of my best-friend waved at Ivy. Ivy didn’t miss a beat and lunged in her arms and hugged her as much as she could with a huge bump between them. I had asked Hayden in the car if they were having twins, and by the look of horror between the couple, I knew my answer. Hayden had called me when I had left the hospital. I had pressed down the guilt that surged when I saw his name and his annoying selfie on my phone. He and Zara were arriving early and wanted me to pick them up from the airport. I wondered how he would react if I told him that I like Ivy. More than like her. He would be stupid not to notice my attraction towards her for all these years. He had warned me and his friend groups that she was off-limits to us, always glaring at any male
14 - SweetIvy“That was not nice, Petal.” Aiden’s deep voice brushed through my ear, his body pressing against my back. I whimpered, his sharp face staring at me through the reflection in the mirror. “Teasing me like that. Wearing this skimpy dress.”I nodded, too embarrassed and flustered to say anything. How could I? He had lunged at me when I had tried on the dress, wrapping his hand around my throat and shutting us both in the cramped place of the dressing room. “Aiden,” I breathed. “What if someone finds us?”When I had told him about going to buy a dress for Zara and Hayden’s wedding, I didn’t think he would want to come with me shopping for a dress. He must have important work to do, but he offered to come along, telling me it was another reason to see me all dressed up in different clothes and then unwrapping me from them as if I was his personal present. Aiden pulled back, turning me around. He wasn’t letting me go. No, he was removing the dark blue tie he was wearing. My
EpilogueIvy“Believe it or not, she can now boil the water without turning on the fire alarm system,” Mia’s father, Clyde Miller, said proudly while Mia pretended to shoot an imaginary bullet through her finger guns into her head. I chuckled at her and warmed up to the family of two… including James, who was busy in a telepathic conversation with my boyfriend. They looked awkward with squinted eyes and one-worded answers. I wanted to ask what was wrong with Aiden, but he was seated across me. “Sooo…” Mia started, noticing the stare-off between the two men. “Tell me how you bagged Mister Aiden over here.”That got Aiden and James’ attention as both men looked at her questioningly. “Bagged?” Aiden asked, frowning at me. “She’s asking how we got into a relationship,” I explained the term in his language. “No.” Mia shook her head, her eyes sparkling with mischief, “It means where she found you and which cheat codes she used to—”“Mia,” James warned, his voice deep as he gave her a s
Bonus SceneIvy“And this is Prince Samir,” Zayed, the charming Sheikh of Azmia, introduced us and the Prince tried his best to ignore looking at him. “He’s still moping because I tried to seduce him and we were about to kiss when—”“Are you scaring Samir again?” A honeyed voice walked towards us, the stunning blonde wrapping her arm around the dimpled Sheikh who looked at her like she was the treasure he wanted to find. “Ignore whatever spews out of his mouth, I do it too. I’m Elena, Zara has told me so much about you.”I liked her the best, especially when she hugged me and saved me from her husband’s antics. Zara had warned me that Azmia and their people were loud but I was sure that Sheikh Zayed was another specie. We had arrived in Azmia, one of the most powerful and richest countries in the Middle East, and living in Sheikh Zayed’s mansion as the famous Golden Palace was still in work after the recent events. Zara’s family was very kind and made me feel like one of them every t
