My question is selfish really because I know exactly what she wants, but Amelia talking dirty is one of my favourite things in this whole world. I fix my gaze on her as I wait for her response, urging her on with a soft smirk. She blinks her eyes quickly a few times before tilting her head to the si
Rhode 's fingers trace across the skin of my back as we lay tangled up together in a mess of sheets. I could fall asleep, I feel so at peace, so warm and safe. "Well, that was definitely unexpected" Rhode breaks the silence, his voice groggy and low. It always sounds a little rough after we've had
"So tell me about this jerk, Luke" Rhode says after a long pause. Oh no, where's this going? "He's not a jerk. He works at the bookstore. He's nice" I tell him, even though I feel like I'm repeating what I told him when I got here last night. "You said he kept trying to make you drink more and he
His words get me questioning an uneasy thought, one that I have to share. "How many women have you been with?" I ask him quickly before I lose the nerve to ask. I know it might be a lot, I'm just nervous about how many that means. I mean; he's hot, he's rich and he's older, there will probably be a
"Nothing" I shake my head. "Ready to go?" I ask him, scooping up the high heels from the entryway. He nods and we wait for the elevator together before it carries us down to the parking garage. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see the car that Rhode gave me for my birthday, he follows my gaze as
Rhode does too as he looks to me for reassurance. I shrug my shoulders, it's up to him what he tells his mum. "Yeah I did, she's in the car with me and you're on speakerphone if you'd like to say hello" Rhode grins cheekily as I hear a small gasp from the car stereo. I don't think she'd scream at
"I love you," I say quietly before I shut the door. He grins. "I love you too" I shut the door and wave him off as he turns the car on, pulling it back into the light midday traffic. Opting to carry my shoes in my hand, I dodge all the gum and unknown stains on the pathway and press the number code
Rhode 's P.O.V I somehow manage to fill my afternoon after I drop Amelia back home to her apartment, mostly with emails I've been ignoring for the last few days. Amelia is my girlfriend again, and my sister is in labour so my mind is racing, work is always a good distraction doesn't matter that it'
"Wanna give one a go?" I suggest to her with a small grin."Might be a bit premature, don't think Max is the marriage type quiet yet" She responds with a quiet giggle, then catches herself as we all stop and gape at her. She hasn't mentioned Max in that context in a very long time. Behind Poppy, Fra
"It's stunning sweetheart, absolutely stunning" My mum comments excitedly as I allow my hands to rest at my sides, my reflection making my heart race quickly. I'm wearing a wedding dress. Maybe not the wedding dress, but a wedding dress none the less. It all seems insane to think that I had spent th
Fran, Bianca and now Sarah are at the racks, perhaps browsing for me or for Fran, who recently moved to London and is flat hunting with her boyfriend Zayn."They have wedding dresses at charity shops? I can't tell if that's bleak or romantic" Poppy comments quietly to me as I sit down beside her."
"You are referred to as exactly what you are, a man, while I am referred to as my relationship to you, a wife. Like the only identifiable thing about me is that now I am your wife but you still get to be a man in your own right" I explain. It's something that's always irked me while watching TV show
"You forget we had sex in a bookstore?" Rhode leans in close and murmurs to me, heat rising on my cheeks instantly. One of my wilder moments I would say."Did not forget that, but I'd rather not have to explain that story to, well anyone" I say with an embarrassed giggle. I definitely told at least
"Please, take it" He states in a soft tone that makes butterflies flit around my stomach. "When?" He adds with a little more urgency."How about, before the years end?" I suggest. It's early October now so going into the colder England months, it's not exactly going to be extraordinary weather but t
"Thank you" I mumble against his lips, brushing my nose against his. His hand lingers on my hip as I come down off of my tiptoes, the wind blowing some of my hair into my face."I'll support you either way, it's up to you" He softly states, his eyes never leaving mine as his hand leaves my hip and t
"Hey, you remember yesterday when we had the family over for lunch?" I say just as we approach the small coffee stand near the fountain at the centre of the park. It's run by a father and son out of a truck that normally attracts a large crowd of locals but today seems a little isolated, supposed we
"To be honest, I feel anxious about taking her out on my own" Rhode states honestly as we wait at the corner for our crosswalk light to turn green. It's a surprising admission that immediately gets my attention."You've never mentioned anything like that" I express as I put a hand on his arm while h
