The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Him Or Me
[Gabrielle’s POV]I watch Trent's retreating form as he makes his way toward his car, and when he climbs in, I'm almost certain that our eyes meet, but I don't dare to acknowledge it. It is only when he pulls out of the driveway and heads down the street that I finally tear my gaze away and turn to meet Gregory's accusatory one.“Why was he here?” He asks slowly, his jaw twitching with tension.“You heard him.” I respond. “He came to return Rachelle's wallet.” As I speak, I hold up the wallet as proof. “Since that's done, we should head inside.”Turning, I reach out and begin to open the door to lead Gregory inside, but am stopped by his hand flying past me, pushing it shut.“Gabby,” he says slowly, his voice cold. “Was that really all that was going on here?”For a moment, I don't speak as I realize just what Gregory is hinting at. He was making it very clear he didn't trust Trent or even me, for that matter, and it was really pissing me off.“What would you like me to say?” I ask, w
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Cause A Scene
[Gabrielle’s POV]I sit in front of my mirror, applying foundation to the hickeys that line my chest. Sighing, I make a mental note to beat the shit out of Gregory later for leaving them there in the first place. If he thought I wasn’t aware of his intentions, he was wrong, but he knew damn well that it would piss my boss off here.Sighing, I examine my chest and my neck, making sure that there aren’t any more showing through my makeup before applying my lipstick. Once I’m finished, I swivel around and make my way backstage to wait for my time to shine.As I take my place, Johnny, the club’s manager, lets his eyes trail over me, stopping particularly long in the places that I had hickeys before.“What?” I ask, giving him a smirk. “Does this top make my breasts look big?”“Something like that,” he chuckles, licking his lips and making me fight a grimace. “I’m sure the clientele will go crazy over it.”Nodding, I tear my gaze away and wait until the girl who is dancing heads my way. Whe
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Her Demand
[Gabrielle’s POV]I wait as Trent stares straight ahead, his fingers clutching the steering wheel in front of him so hard that his knuckles begin to turn white. It is clear that he didn’t expect me to ask such a question, but I didn’t want to deal with lies or deceit from him anymore.“Well?” I push as he turns a corner into a high-class neighborhood with large mansions that belong in shows about desperate housewives. “I asked you a question.”“I have my ways.” Is all he says before pulling into the driveway of one of the houses and turning off his car. “Instead of giving me the third degree, you should be thanking me.”“Thanking?” I repeat, raising a brow. “And why exactly should I be thanking you? Did you do me any favors?”It was almost laughable that he expected such things after causing me so much trouble. Not only was my father most certainly going to want to get revenge on me, but I also lost my job because of his ‘good deed.’“Instead of acting haughty,” Trent sighs, getting o
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. An Explosion
[Trent’s POV]I stare at Gabby, trying to control the emotions that are swirling in me from seeing just how angry and hurt she is. What on earth actually happened all those years ago to make her react this way toward me? I didn’t know, but since we were on the topic maybe it was time to clear the air since she never gave me the chance to do that in the past.“First,” I say, trying to keep from touching her to comfort her. “Why don’t you tell me why you disappeared and cut me out of your life?”As far as I knew when I left, things were great, and Gabby and my relationship were solid as a rock. But when I came back for Christmas, she was gone, and my mother said she went away to college. However, no amount of searching helped me find her. It was almost like she disappeared entirely or she didn’t exist from the start, but a few years later I got word she was back in town.“Don’t turn this around on me.” Gabby warns stubbornly. “I asked you first. What were you hiding from all of us back
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. The Truth
[Gabrielle’s POV]I curl my legs under me, getting comfortable while Trent offers me a beer, which I happily take. If I was going to be stuck alone with this man, I needed something to take the edge off, and alcohol was the perfect thing.I didn’t know exactly what I expected to come out of his mouth, but I knew that if he was going to be totally honest with me, then the woman I saw him with all those years ago was going to be brought up.Popping open my beer, I take a swig while Trent takes a seat across from me and does the same. However, he doesn’t speak; instead, he just continues to examine me, taking me in like someone who found something amazing, and that alone makes my determination to not be sucked in waver again.“Are you going to talk?” I ask, not wanting this strange and yet familiar silence to continue falling around us. “Or did you lie about that too?”“I’ve never lied.” Trent reminds me. “And I told you that I would tell you whatever it was that you wanted to know. So a
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. From Here
[Gabrielle’s POV]I nod and motion for Trent to lead the way. For a moment, he doesn’t move as he continues to just take me in with that damned hurt puppy look of his that always used to get under my skin when we were kids.“Is the kitchen where I’ll be sleeping?” I ask, feeling my insides beginning to stir. “Should I just curl up like a kitten on the counter?”“No,” Trent says, finally snapping out of it. “This way.”Feeling a wave of relief, I jump off the counter and begin to follow Trent through his probably million-dollar mansion until we reach a room at the end of a long hall.“This will be your room.” He says, pulling the door open and then stepping aside so that I can go in.When I do, I feel my eyes widen as I take in the area around me from the large king bed that is fixed with fluffy white pillows and a bloodred comforter. The bed is surrounded by large posts that hold a guazy fabric to flow freely around it, blurring the bed and anyone who may be on it from sight.Above th
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Lay Down The Rules
[Trent’s POV]The next morning, I wake up early and head out for a quick run. Outside, the weather is perfect, matching my mood almost, despite a few gray clouds that hover not only in the sky but also over me since I was certain Gabby would attempt to run away.Trying to ignore the unease I feel over the idea of her going back to that house of hers with no one there to keep her safe. It drives me so crazy, I stop mid-run and quickly head home, where I find the woman in question lounging on the couch with some fried eggs.“Welcome back,” she calls as I stand in the doorway just staring at her. “What?” She pushes. “Don’t tell me you’re mad that I made something to eat. Sorry, but I woke up starving and kind of helped myself.”“It isn’t that.” I assure her, feeling a wave of relief rush through me. “You’re more than welcome to eat whatever you want here.”“Then did you want me to make you some?” She pushes, giving me a confused look. “I’ll have to tell you that Rachelle does most of the
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Reality Of The Situation
[Trent’s POV]Later, I stand together with Gabby on the porch of the home that she shares with Rachelle. Since Gabby was being stubborn and refused to let Alton buy her anything, I decided it would be best for us to come here to collect her things together. However, what I didn’t expect to run into when I arrived was a busted door handle and a front door hanging half open.Now, Gabby wraps her arms around herself, shivering while I’m certain she imagines what would have happened if I didn’t bring her back to my place. Even I was having a hard time of not doing that, and with each passing minute, my desire to go out and find that bastard of a father of hers was growing stronger, but I knew that doing that would only make matters worse, and the best thing I could do right now was let the police and private investigator that I hired do their jobs.“Come on,” I murmur, gently clapping Gabby’s shoulder. “We should go in and see if anything is damaged or missing.”“Right,” she whispers as h

The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Vacation Part 2
[Gabrielle’s POV]I wait and watch as Trent processes what I’ve just told him. Even with the dim light casting shadows on his handsome face, I can see the desire that is beginning to form there.Dammit. How in the world was he able to remain strong up until this point, and why did his sticking to his word make me feel both loved and rejected? I hated these swirling emotions that I never would have had when we were younger.Back then, I knew that I was in fact his everything and that he only thought of me and no one else, but now he had a taste of another woman, and that scared the shit out of me.Maybe that was why I was willing to push his buttons like this, testing the waters, seeing if I could break his strong resolve, even if it only caused me to continue coming up empty.“Dammit, Gabby,” Trent hisses, his eyes flashing with lust. “We’re already this close; why do you have to continue to try to tempt me?”“Because I’m insecure.” I whisper, unable to stand it any longer. “I hate th
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Vacation Part 1
[Trent’s POV]After our first night of passion, I slowly come to find that Gabby is insatiable. Anytime I turned around, she was wanting to touch me, to kiss me, and to do other things to me that drove me so fucking crazy but also excited me just the same.Was this need to constantly be attacking me stemming from how much she missed me? Or how much she cared about me? I wasn’t so sure, but despite all of this, we never went all the way. However, we did do many things, many, many things, on almost every surface of my home, and by the time the day of departure for our vacation came, I was almost ready to just take her right then and there on the plane.I was certain that she was feeling the same way as me, as I found her gaze locked on a certain part of me more than a few times. That’s why, by the time we landed at our destination, I was strongly considering skipping all the things I planned and just keeping her trapped in the bed with me all day and night, but I manage to remain under
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Only Me
[Gabrielle’s POV]I let a smile play on my lips as I pull Trent’s belt out of the way and start to undo his pants. As I move, I can feel the bulge that is forming there and know that despite his insistence he was fine, he wasn’t doing well at all.“You can stop me any time.” I whisper, slowly slithering my body down his until I’m on my knees in front of him. “I won’t make you do something you don’t want to.”Growing quiet, I wait as he stares down at me, taking me in with so much hunger it makes my heart and my core squeeze.God. I just wanted to jump this man. I wanted to see more of his expressions, see that desire for me in his eyes more. I wanted to breathe him in until I had my fill, but I didn’t think that would ever be happening.“Is your silence the go ahead?” I giggle, hooking my fingers in his now-loose pants.For a moment, I don’t move while he just continues to stare at me, and when he lifts his hips, I know that he isn’t going to stop me, not this time.Smiling seductivel
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Need
[Gabrielle’s POV]I sit in Trent’s lap, listening to the sound of his strong heartbeat as the silence of the room around us settles in. We’ve been sitting here just like this for a while, probably because Trent is waiting for me to make the first move to show that I’m okay.After having our night out ruined by Katie, our group split ways, each going to their respective homes so that Rachelle and I could rest and recuperate from what happened to us. And even though I was thankful to be in the safety of the home that Trent and I shared, I couldn’t help but wonder whether or not anything was being done to Katie after what she did.Deciding that wasn’t what was important right now, I curl in closer to Trent and close my eyes.“Are you sure you’re okay?”How many times now has Trent asked me this very question? For most of the ride home, he asked me, and although I insisted I was fine, he wouldn’t drop it, which was both endearing and a little frustrating.“I am.” I say quietly, lifting my
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. A Failed Plan
[Katie’s POV]I stare in disbelief as Trent glares at me. How could he look at me so hatefully? This was all that bitches fault!“Trent!” I repeat, reaching out in an attempt to touch him only to be stopped by a look of warning.“I said I’d deal with you later.” He repeats slowly while pulling the bitch closer against him. “So, I suggest you come up with a damn good story.”Finished speaking, he turns and begins to move while I’m left standing in place with the two that not only failed to complete the mission they were given but would also incriminate me if they were to be taken away and questioned.Knowing that I couldn’t possibly let that happen, I pull my phone out of my pocket and immediately dial Oscar, knowing that he will help me deal with this.“Hello, beautiful.” He chuckles the minute he picks up. “Tell me, are you the one responsible for the trouble I’m suffering?”“And if I am?” I challenge.“You’ll have to repay me for my bailing you out.” He says slowly, and I don’t miss
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Caught Red-Handed
[Trent’s POV]“Do you think they’re taking a bit?”Hanson’s question rings out around us, filling the silence that has fallen in the room we sit together in. He was right; it had been a bit since the women went to the bathroom.“Maybe Gabby was worse off than we thought.” I mutter, panic growing. “I’m going to go check on her.”Maybe I was being a bit overprotective or just worrying for absolutely nothing, but I just couldn’t stop myself when it came to her.“Whipped.”The word is quiet, as is the chuckle that comes with it, but I don’t give two shits. He could call me what he wanted, and I would happily accept it.“Probably,” I admit, getting up and heading toward the exit. “I’ll be back.”Not waiting for a response, I head out into the hall and then toward the bathroom, where Gabby, Rachelle, and Katie should be. And when I reach, I don’t think twice before I’m heading in. However, I’m met with an empty space and empty stalls except for a single one.“Gabby.” I call, heading toward
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Her Plan
[Katie’s POV]I stand outside of the room, listening as everyone present mocks me. It pisses me off, and I have the right mind to go in there and scold them, but in the end that would only make me look more like the villain. I needed to remain composed and in control so that Trent didn’t see me acting like a bitch again; one time was more than enough. That’s why I put a smile on my face now and then head inside, drawing all eyes to me.“Drink’s are here.” I announce moving forward. “Here you are.”Keeping my perfect smile in place, I move around, handing out drinks, making sure that the right ones went to the right people. And when I reach Gabrielle, I’m certain that she gets the one just for her before moving onto her friend; if I remember correctly, everyone called her Rachelle.“Here you are, Rachelle, right?”“That’s right.” She smiles, taking her drink. “And this man beside me is my boyfriend Hanson.”“It’s a pleasure,” I say, handing him a drink and then taking the final and hav
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. An Uninvited Guest
[Gabrielle’s POV]I walk into the club with Trent at my side, his hand wrapped tightly around me, holding me against himself as if to show the world that I was his. I have to admit, I like it. I like the stares that follow us and the looks of jealousy from the women who are clearly upset that such a powerful man is no longer single.However, along with these looks, there are looks of disgust and even questioning, which I’m certain is from the rumor that Trent and Katie were engaged. I was certain those with these looks were thinking of me as a home wrecker, as the other woman, but as long as I knew the truth, I didn’t care.“They’re over there,” Trent murmurs, leaning in so close that his breath tickles my ear.Nodding, I look in the direction his gaze is in and find Rachelle and Hanson together playing some pool. They look so lovely together, with Rachelle holding the stick and Hanson attempting to guide her. It is easy to see the love between them even from here. Was that the way I
The Heirs Second Chance At Forever. Double Date
[Gabrielle’s POV]“Are you sure you’re up for this?”I eye Trent as he works to straighten the tie around his neck. A week has already passed since he was released from the hospital, and since his most recent scans were looking pretty normal, the doctor released him from bedrest. Of course, the minute that happened, Rachelle insisted that we go out to celebrate.“What?” He asks, lifting his gaze to mine. “Would you rather we stay here and...”“Not yet,” I sigh, though I wouldn’t be too opposed to getting to know Trent’s body on an intimate level, especially while he stood in front of me in a form-fitting suit, complete with wrist cuffs, a super expensive watch, and his messy hair slicked back. God, the man didn’t look like a snack; he looked like a whole damn meal.Trying to ignore the naughty thoughts racing through my mind, I move forward and grab Trent’s tie, then after a quick adjustment, I step back.“Perfect,” I grin, taking him in while pulling out my phone.“What are you doing
