Grace POV“Where did you go the other night?” Hannah asks, and I can’t help but smile at the memory of the club’s opening night. I Haven’t had sex since that night. Dash is working every night and I am always busy during the day, so we have barely seen each other. I am always asleep when he comes in and he is asleep or already gone when I wake up.“I can’t tell,” I say, winking, and she rolls her eyes as she smiles while Jamie puts her phone on the table after replying to a text message.“Amber is on her way,” she says and the fun we were having disappears and the air becomes thicker. “You two need to sort it out. We can’t keep going like this,” Jamie says, and I nod. I know I can be very judgemental and after what happened a few nights ago, I learned to let go of my prejudice a little.Jamie and Hannah stand a few minutes la
Dash POV“What the fuck were you thinking?” Wyatt shouts, and Jagger shakes his head as he looks at me. I take a deep breath, crossing my leg over my knee and lace my fingers, resting them over my stomach. I watch as Wyatt paces around the room like a fucking lunatic and Jagger stays still. I knew this was gonna come back to bite me in the fucking ass, but I needed the intel. “And you…” he says, pointing at Jagger, who raises an unimpressed eyebrow. “Careful,” Jagger warns our best friend as his rage takes over. I knew Wyatt was going to lose his shit as soon as he found out Jagger tortured the poor bastard we have in the holding cells but what he doesn’t understand is that while he’s been playing house I had to deal with the shit happening around us. “You should’ve come to me,” Wyatt says, looking at Jagger and then at me. I look at my hands and when Wyatt calms the fuck down, I raise my eyes to meet his, ready to explain. “We couldn’t. You were busy, and it was something that ne
Grace POVMy mother’s words invade my thoughts for the rest of the day. My dad having an affair is something I never imagined possible, but then again, I never imagined he would try to sell me to the highest bidder to pay for his own lifestyle. “Grace?” I hear Jamie say and I raise my eyes to meet her and she frowns. “Are you listening?” She asks, and I shake my head slightly. “Sorry, I’ve got a lot on my mind,” I say, and Hannah takes a deep breath, pinching the bridge of her nose. I look at her and she shakes her head. I can see anger plastered all over her beautiful features and I raise my eyebrows, questioning her. “What?” I let out. “I understand why Amber is so annoyed. You don’t even care to listen to us,” she says as Jamie looks at her, shaking her head and holding Hannah’s hand, trying to calm her down. “Wow,” I let out under my breath. “Don’t hold back on what you really feel,” I say, and Hannah shakes her head, pointing at me. “Don’t turn this on us, Grace.” She says
Grace POV“I can’t believe you did all of this,” I say as I walk further into the apartment to find a dog bed, water and food bowls, and toys. Everything Crow will ever need is there. Dash takes care of everything. Dash looks at me, smiling with his hands in his pockets and that’s when I notice Crow sitting next to Dash with his head up, staring at him and his tail wiggling. “I think he likes you,” I say, and Dash rolls his eyes and then looks down at Crow and shakes his head. “Go to Grace, come on, fuck off,” Dash says, pointing at me, but Crow sees it as if he is going to stroke him. Crow stands on his back legs supporting his front ones on Dash’s stomach and Dash takes one step back. “Hey, you listen to me, just because I brought you to live with us, doesn’t mean I suddenly like dogs, so go to Grace, she’s the one that likes you,” Dash says but Crow sees it as a game of catch and follows Dash as he moves around the living room.“I really hate this dog,” Dash says, shoving his hand
Grace POV“The problem is…” he stops talking and I stay silent waiting for the rest, “I want you Grace, I want the kids, the family, the house with the fucking white picket fence but I can’t do it, it wouldn’t be fair to you, to drag you into my life,” he finally says after a few agonizing minutes in silence. My heart skips a beat and I stay still as he looks into my eyes as if trying to read what is going on inside my head, but right now there’s nothing there. My brain has gone blank and I don’t even know what to think. “I never wanted anyone the way I want you, Grace, the way you looked at me the first time I saw you.” He tells me. “When I saw that guy on you, something in me made me take you away, I never believed in love at first sight but after seeing you in that party I had to give in,” Dash says taking one step closer to me but I don’t move. I feel like my feet are stuck to the floor, not letting me move from here. Neither away nor to him. “You entered my life like a fucking
Dash POVAs I enter the Law firm where my brother works, I smile at the receptionist on the ground floor and she smiles back, giving me a small nod that basically tells me I am allowed to go up. Well, she would never stop me anyway, but it’s nice to have the confirmation I am allowed up.As soon as the elevator doors open, I am greeted by his secretary that is a milf. I don’t know how my brother can keep his hands to himself. The woman is stunning. I wrap one arm around her waist and hug her, and she smacks my shoulder as she giggles. “Let go of me, you womanizer,” she says as she laughs and I smile, letting her go.“How are you beautiful?” I ask Janet, and she looks at me over her shoulder as she walks down the corridor with her heels clicking on the marble floor.“I am well. How about you?” She asks me, and I shrug in reply. I never let out a lot
Grace POVI don’t know how I allowed myself to get dragged into this by my mother. Of all the people who could have gotten me into following someone to see if they were cheating, my mother was the last person who would pop into my head. I still think this entire thing is ludicrous. How is even possible that my father is having an affair? I start mentally kicking myself as I walk to the town car waiting for me outside my house.I smile at myself, thinking that I finally said it, my house. It’s not just Dash’s house, it’s my house as well. I can’t stop smiling at the thought. After he got me Crow and he broke down declaring himself to me, I have been even more obsessed about him than I was before. Dash is the perfect man, he is a gentleman, and caring, and he really, really, really knows how to please me.“Hey mom,” I say as I enter the car, and when I look at her, I cover my mou
Grace POVI don’t know what my mother is going to do about the entire thing. Hell, I don’t know what to think. I can imagine her. They have been together most of their lives; they were high-school sweethearts, and this is how their marriage is going to end?I look at my reflection in the mirror, trying to push away all the thoughts about my parents and the mistress. I blink several times, trying to adjust my eyes to the contact lenses. I always hated these things. I think they were made by the devil to cause pain and discomfort. There’s no other option.My red dress clings to my body, and I feel like a different person. My hair is up and straight into a sleek ponytail on the top of my head, and my makeup is dark and sensual. The people Dash hired to pamper me really did an amazing job. I never imagined looking at myself in the mirror and seeing someone sensual.“Fuck me sideways
