I narrow my eyes at him, though my mind flashes back to last night, when I threw my panties around like confetti. They’re probably still near the sink. I should've put them in my bag, Mentally scolding myself, I grab a piece of bacon and toss it into my mouth with precision.

"So... this client. Why are they so important that you have to go to the office on a Saturday?" I ask, genuinely curious as the salty, crunchy bacon melts on my tongue.

"I'm at the office almost every Saturday, sugar," Jace replies, his eyes focused on my lips. "But this client? They’re one of our biggest. Think millions, if this meeting goes well."

I nod, taking in the significance. "And did you prepare? Do you feel ready?" I ask, poking at the runny yolk on my plate.

"Of course," Jace says, his tone sharp and confident. It makes me frown slightly.

"You don’t have to do that," he says, making me glance up, confused.

"Do what?" I ask, still frowning.

  • The Teacher's Obsession   Chapter 102: Drive

    "How was Arabella last night? Did she stay?" I ask, trying to sound casual. "She was annoying, as usual. She left," Jace replies, speeding down the forest path. "Did you ever have sex with her?" My hands instinctively slip under my legs to stop them from fidgeting. I bite my nails when I’m nervous, and right now, I feel that anxious energy creeping in. "Uh... yes," Jace admits, his tone steady but reluctant. "How many times?" I ask, studying his features. Jace keeps his gaze on the road, appearing calm, though I know this is the last thing he wants to talk about. "I didn’t keep count. A few times," he says, still calm. "Is a few times... more than ten?" I push, watching him closely. Jace turns to look at me for a second before facing forward again. "No, not more than ten. Five at most, I'd say. Mostly at office parties." His hand lands on my leg, his thumb brushing over it lightly. "Mostly, but not every time?" I tilt my head as I ask, unable to shake the discomfort of how ca

    I try to calm the pounding of my heart, but it only grows louder, matching the pace of my swirling thoughts. As Jace moves closer, the heat radiating from him sends my senses into overdrive. His eyes, locked onto mine, are dark and full of something primal. It’s like he's daring me to make a move, to either run or stay. But I don’t run. I can’t. Every part of me is paralyzed, caught between fear and longing. His hand tightens on the back of my neck, the firm grip grounding me in this moment, and I realize just how badly I don’t want to pull away. Jace’s breath is warm on my lips, and the world outside of the car seems to vanish entirely, leaving just the two of us suspended in time. When his forehead gently presses against mine, my stomach flips, nerves sending shockwaves down my spine. I close my eyes, as if shutting out the world will stop the storm inside me, but it only intensifies everything—the sound of his breathing, the heat of his hand, the dizzying nearness of his lips. I

    A beat of silence hangs in the air. "He did what?" Mason asks, eyebrows raised. Even Ramon stops walking, glancing nervously at Mason. "Dad asked me for money, and when I refused, he grabbed my arm and threatened me," I explain quietly. Hannah’s hand rests on my shoulder. "Jace stepped in, sent me out, and then... he beat up Dad. And his phone. Dad hasn’t contacted me since." "I'm so sorry, Li." Mason steps forward and puts his large arms around me and I throw my arms around him in return. "You tried, Li, you tried. You once again showed the best side a human can possess. He isn't worth it. I know it's difficult because it's our father but he is not going to change. He proven that again." Mason whispers in my hair. I swallow, my voice breaking. "He’s having another child." Mason’s arms freeze around me. "What?" "His girlfriend... she’s pregnant. Dad thinks it’s going to be a boy." I can feel Mason’s anger, disappointment, and sadness swirling around us. "That’s disgusting," he

    "Mason, I was drunk," Ramon says, trying to excuse himself. Mason’s expression hardens, his anger only intensifying. "That’s NEVER an excuse. NEVER! You know who else was drunk? My little sister!" Mason shouts, pointing toward me. I stare at the two of them, wide-eyed. This wasn’t supposed to happen. "I didn't use her!" Ramon yells back, his own anger flaring. "It’s your job to protect her! I trusted you not to go near her like that!" Mason’s voice echoes through the house, vibrating with fury. If Mason knew what happened between Jace and me, Jace would already be dead. "I didn't do anything she didn't want to do!" Ramon instantly looks down, knowing he just made a mistake. "What did you just say?" Mason asks with a sudden dangerous, low tone. "If my baby sister got naked and begged you to touch her, I’d expect you to turn her down! You were furious when Dante touched her!" "Man, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it like that. It just happened, and I regretted it afterward," Ramon tri

    Hannah's agreement snaps me out of my thoughts. "I would go crazy if all that happened to me," she says, making me feel a little less alone in the chaos of my life. My phone vibrates again, pulling me back to the present. I glance at it but decide to ignore it for now. I have something more pressing on my mind. "I have a box upstairs that I need to open. I'm scared. Can you be there for mental support?" I ask, feeling a bit of anxiety creep in. Hannah doesn’t hesitate. She jumps up from the couch, grabs my hand, and pulls me to my feet. There’s a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Let’s open another box, seeing as yours hasn’t been stuffed yet," she teases with a smirk. "Hannah!" I protest, feeling my cheeks burn. Before we make it to the stairs, the doorbell rings. When I open it, a delivery guy stands there with five more boxes at his feet. "More?!" I exclaim in disbelief. The delivery guy gives me a confused look, but before I can say anything, Hannah rushes forward, grabs the bo

    "OH. MY. GOD." Hannah gasps as soon as she peers inside the box. "Is that what I think it is?" "Oh my God," I mutter, shoving the box away as I bury my head between my knees, rocking back and forth. "No freaking way. This guy is on another level," Hannah says, picking up the first pink item. "Fucking freak." The box is full of sex toys and lingerie. "Oh my God," I repeat, grabbing my phone in disbelief. -Norali: You're sick. "Dude. This is like... I have no words for this," Hannah whispers, her grabby hands diving into the box. She pulls out a baby blue lingerie set and tosses it at my head, followed by a set of handcuffs. Then she finds a small whip and slaps it against her hand. "Good quality," she remarks, raising an eyebrow. "Oh my God," I mumble. The phrase seems to be on repeat in my brain. My phone vibrates, and I glance at it through one eye. -Mr. Grumpy: There we go. -Norali: What is wrong with you? "I'm scared," I admit, letting my body collapse onto the floor,

    “I hope it’s not that disgusting gin you brought last time.” Charlotte appears behind us with Lina, who looks absolutely thrilled. We all grin at the memory of Ryker’s watermelon gin disaster. It was so bad even Ryker couldn’t stomach it. “Don’t worry, it’s all your favorites: vodka, whiskey, tequila, and for my special lady, amaretto.” Ryker wraps an arm around Hannah, who looks torn between amusement and discomfort. Mason has probably gotten in her head. Connor’s arm slips around my waist, and I’m so focused on Hannah that I barely notice. “I’m so ready to party tonight!” he exclaims, flashing a wide grin. Lina and Charlotte cheer in response, while Hannah gives me a playful wink. As Connor guides me toward the two waiting buses, I immediately spot Jace standing with a clipboard next to Grace. He really is a freaking sex God. Just look at him. Grace is talking animatedly, but Jace isn’t paying attention. His eyes are locked on us—more specifically, on Connor, who has an arm wr

    "Connor," I snap, my voice sharp. I step toward Hannah, but his grip tightens on my shoulder, refusing to let me go. "You think a kiss makes her yours? Such a young, innocent boy. You’ve got a lot to learn about life. Man up, Connor. You’ve got quite the imagination." Jace’s expression is calm, almost relaxed, as if this whole confrontation is beneath him. But I his eyes burn with an intensity that betrays the cool facade, and his muscles tense under his shirt. "It's never just a kiss, Mr. Adkins," Connor replies clearly. Those words stop me cold. Again. How can he say the exact same thing my brother did? It's never just a kiss. But it is. For me, at least. For me, it’s just a kiss. Or is it? Jace looks momentarily taken aback, and for a brief moment, I wonder if even he thinks the same as Connor—that a kiss isn’t just two sets of lips touching each other. “Connor, take your dick-measuring contest elsewhere. Nora isn’t your girlfriend, last I checked,” Hannah chimes in, her ton

    ”You are so perfect,” he whispers. I turn my head slightly, letting my wavy hair cascade over my shoulder. “Are you going to use me?” His hand smacks my ass—hard. A sharp gasp escapes me as he grips my hips, holding me firmly in place. His eyes darken, filled with complete control. “I’m going to do so much to you.” He falls down on his knees, his face instantly on level with my- He licks me without any warning. My back arches on instinct, and his hands grip my thighs to keep me in place. His tongue softly strokes over me, pressing down with delicious pressure. I moan softly, but my attention spikes when Jace suddenly stands up, cutting this moment way too short. I frown. Normally he doesn't do this. Normally he makes sure I'm.. Taken care of. A shiver runs through me as he unzips himself, the sound sending my heartbeat into overdrive. No matter how many times we do this, my body always reacts to him like it’s the first time. Then, without warning, he spits down. The wet heat o

    My eyes widen. Surely, he can’t mean—right here? There are students, parents, and teachers everywhere. Some are still gaping at us, their eyes locked on our close proximity. “Because of obvious reasons,” I reply, my heart pounding. Anxiety skitters down my spine. “Those obvious reasons are in the past, aren’t they?” Jace counters smoothly, a powerful glint in his eyes. He stands tall, confident, like he owns the entire world—and right now, I feel like a part of it belongs to him. “People are staring,” I say with a shaky chuckle. “Don’t you think—” “Let’s not think for now,” he cuts me off, his voice firm, leaving no room for argument. I’m about to fucking die. “But, Ja—” His lips crash onto mine, his hands cradling my face with a possessive intensity that steals the breath from my lungs. One hand slides to the back of my neck, holding me in place as if he’s afraid I might disappear. Every thought I had scatters. Gasps echo around us. I know people are watching, snapping pictu

  • The Teacher's Obsession   Chapter 186: Paper

    Lina and Charlotte sit a few rows ahead of us, practically bouncing with excitement when their names are called. They stride up to the stage confidently, shaking Mason’s hand with bright smiles. Lina falters slightly when she reaches Jace—just as everyone before her has—but he surprises her with a rare, warm smile. He’s unusually cheerful today. And why wouldn’t he be? After years of secrecy, of stolen touches and hidden glances, we can finally be together. No more sneaking around, no more careful distance. We can go on dates in our own town, drive somewhere without fear of being seen, even post pictures if we want to. That, and if our plan works, the man Jace hates most in this world—my boss—is going to jail. Suddenly, Hannah stands next to me. Dazed, I quickly rise to my feet, realizing I was lost in a daydream again. The stage looms closer as I step forward. My gaze finds Jace, the light of my life, and I see him watching me as I approach. Grace is first. She’s as icy as eve

    I twirl in front of the mirror, admiring the way my dark green dress clings to my body. It’s elegant, timeless, and fits me like a dream. Jace picked it. Of course, he did. Behind me, Hannah grins in her own soft silver dress. It’s similar to mine in cut, except mine dips low at the back, while hers teases just enough cleavage to turn heads. Ryker bought it for her with his first paycheck, and she’s been saving it for this moment. “I can’t believe it’s over,” Lina sighs, staring off into space from where she sits on the bed. “Four years of hard work. Just like that, it’s done.” Her red dress, red lipstick, and perfectly manicured red nails make her look sharper, more confident than the Lina I met years ago. Back then, she was shy, insecure—nothing like the woman she is now. She’s still single, but only because she chooses to be. With a new date every other night, she’s thriving. “Tell me about it,” Charlotte murmurs, rubbing a hand over her stomach. “It’s insane how much can chan

    My fingers slide through the stack of papers frantically. I know exactly what I’m looking for. I also know I don’t have much time. The words blur as I skim the first line of each page, my heartbeat hammering against my ribs. It always does when I do this. But I force myself to push past the panic and focus. My knees burn against the rough carpet, and my ankles are twisted awkwardly—positioned so I can spring up at a moment’s notice. The second I hear the door creak open, my eyes land on the document I need. In one swift motion, I yank it from the drawer—just as I rip a button from my shirt. The tiny black button pops off, almost vanishing somewhere on the floor, at the same time I shove the stolen paper beneath the desk. “Nora?” Shit. I jump up too fast, smacking my head against the mahogany desk with a painful thud. “Da—OUCH!” “Nora, are you okay?” Dave’s voice is too close. A second later, he’s hauling me up, concern in his expression. I quickly clutch the missing button

    I’m nervous. And I have every right to be. Slowly, I step out of my car, careful not to make a sound as my shoes touch the gravel. My coat feels like a layer of protection I’m peeling away, leaving me vulnerable. My shoes feel like lead as I take them off by the door. I really considered just going home. Spending the evening with Mason. Pushing the inevitable drama to another day. But I can’t. I move cautiously through the house, my steps almost hesitant as I make my way to the kitchen. Fuck. Jace is going to be so— "You stole my fucking client?!" I flinch. Jace storms toward me, and instinct takes over—I dart behind the kitchen island, putting it between us like a shield. "You didn’t call them back yesterday! And I had a better deal!" I yell, my voice high with genuine fear. "I didn’t call them back because I was too busy fucking you!" Jace snaps, his anger raw, sharp, and directed at me. Not a pretty sight. "You made that decision!" I shoot back, though my voice cracks. M

    I stare at him in disbelief as the class filters out. Hannah nudges me from behind, snorting loudly before the door clicks shut behind her. Silence settles between us. I remain standing in the middle of the room, gripping my bag tightly. He’s still seated at his desk, his gaze raking over me, but for once, his expression gives nothing away. “Come here,” he orders finally, his voice low, commanding. The one that demands obedience. I hesitate for two seconds before slowly walking toward him. My bag slides from my shoulder, landing on the desk beside his with a dull thud. His eyes scan me with deliberate slowness, like a predator devouring prey, before he rolls back in his chair. “Bend over my desk.” My stomach clenches. I glance at the door. Someone might— “Now.” I listen. Turning away from him, I lean forward, my palms pressing into the cold, hard wood of his desk. My short skirt barely covers my ass, which he now has full sight iff..

    “I don’t know yet, Sir,” I answer instead. His eyes narrow, clearly displeased with my response. “Come up here,” he orders. I plead mentally. I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to stand in front of the class with everyone’s eyes on me. I want to stay in my seat, in my safe space. My eyes go wide, silently begging for mercy. “Did your ears stop working?” Jace asks, completely unfazed. I let out a deep sigh, forcing myself to stand. My jaw clenches as I make my way to the old-fashioned board, picking up a tiny piece of chalk. From the corner of my eye, I already see Jace moving closer. He stops beside me, too close, and reads out the long, mind-numbing problem. By the time he reaches the last word, I’ve already forgotten the second to last. He doesn’t repeat himself. He just watches me, waiting. The tension is suffocating, horrible. I'm about to choke. He knows exactly what he’s doing. “Remembered that?” he taunts, his voice low. Slowly, I turn to face him.

    ”Shut the fuck up.” I almost roll my eyes. Jace stands at the front of the room, looking grumpy and too hot for his own good. He tosses his laptop, phone, and keys onto his desk like they don’t mean a thing. They land on the battered math book. Battered because of me. I accidentally spilled my caramel coffee over it this morning—right after our fight about my internship. Which was great timing. It made us late and pissed Jace off even more than he already was. ”Why do you always swear at us?” Brent asks, his voice too loud. I barely hold in a snort. Not that it matters. I don’t make a sound, but Jace knows exactly what’s going on in my head. He doesn’t look at me, though. He doesn’t have to. He’s going to break first. My internship is still a sore point in our relationship. That got worse when I found out that Jace cancelled my internship at Blackwood. It got even worse when I cancelled my internship at his company. I called Blackwood, and they told me they still have a spot f
