Standing with Bex and Ivy, I laugh, my head shaking at them."It's a good plan." Bex nods in agreement, it is, but I'm still unsure."And Lucas is fine with this?" I ask, unsure of how he would be."Yes, he's like Alaric and has a few locations open, so moving closer to you and Alaric isn't an issue." She smiles at me."But he has his daughter to consider." I remind her."He has; this isn't like she is in school with friends, Ruby; she's too young for that. So moving before then is more ideal," Bex replies and smiles at me."Can I have this dance?" Jake looks at me, and I nod."Oh. My. God." Bex shouts, and I turn to her, confused. "Ruby is like your stepmum." She laughs and falls off the chair. Groaning, I lean down and pull her up."Behave, don't make him feel more awkward." I laugh and push her back onto the chair."It's a good job we're staying with you and Alaric, I don't think Lucas would want her at his place this drunk." Ivy laughs, and I nod."I'm sorry but I just realised. Y
“You want me to stop?” he asks. I do, but I want something different. Looking at him, I nod, a smile forming on my face.“I don’t want this.” My words are quiet and his face becomes a picture of hurt at my words.“What do you want? I can leave if you really want?” I'm not sure if he means that or is mocking me.Looking at him, I can see the pain in his eyes.“No, I want you. I just want..." What do I want? "I want you to fuck me like you were leaving me, like that night in Jake's bed, where it was all night.His eyes look at me, and I hope that he remembers that time, that he remembers everything."The exact same?" He asks.Do I want the same or just that feeling of will I ever see you again?"I just remember the feeling of wanting you, the urgency to have you. It felt more real because I honestly thought that was the last time you would touch me."Nodding, he understands. “I can do that, no problem, baby girl.”His body slowly crawls up to me, his eyes piercing into mine, into my sou
I say in Alaric's arms and can't help but smile as I feel him remove my lingerie and step into the shower."What was that?" It wasn't what I asked for; it was better, however, so, I won't complain."Well..." His word stops, and he kisses my neck as his hands wash across my body."Well, what?" I ask, feeling tired."Whenever we had a fallout, baby girl, we never got to have make-up sex, so that was all the make-up sex I owed you." His words have me laughing. Make-up sex?It was different, and he was certainly relentless. I smiled against him as he carried me to his room and into his bed. His hand gripped my chin, and he raised my head so I could look at him."I love you, baby girl." Leaning forward he kisses me."I don't trust you right now," I say while laughing. His eyes roll and he pulls me closer. "I love you as well, though, even if I don't trust you.""Just shut it and sleep." I laugh at his words. "Now, go to sleep; it's late." Kissing me, he pulls me closer, and I find myself f
"Morning, baby girl." Alaric's voice wakes me, and I open my eyes looking at him confused, he's dressed and everything? "You slept all morning, but you need to get up and eat after everything last night." He watches me, and I move to sit up as he holds out the food.Taking it, I look at him."Before you call me more names, let me explain." He looks at me, waiting for me to confirm I won't swear. Nodding, I wait."Max got in touch with Jake. Nothing bad happened. He apologised for what happened and wanted Jake to tell you. He warned Jake, though, that Beatrix had been asking him to help her get revenge.""So you knew?" He knew all this time and kept quiet."We were told Beatrix wanted to hurt you. Apparently, it was your fault she didn't get the money. He told Jake that it was her who set fire to the car. I didn't see the issue. It's Beatrix." He shrugs, but something tells me there is more."And?" I say, waiting for the full story."I got this." He slides the paper to me. "I wasn't wi
I watch Alaric as he moves around the room."Baby girl, have you sorted it?" He looks over at me."No, I just sat there for the fun of sir," I smirk and he groans."Behave, please. After last night, behave and just answer." He looks at me unamused."I sorted it," I say, standing I walk to him and hold it out."I don't need it now, put it away. Do I look like I could do anything right now?" he asks, and I step back, looking at him amused. "Brat."Laughing at his words, I nod. Leaning forward, I kiss him. "Hand her here, then you have two hands," I say, reaching for Isla, but his hand stops me."Or, you help." He smiles and walks across the room, putting her in the crib. Pouting, I nod. "Don't. She's settled, and you're helping me. Everyone will be here soon." He moves and begins to set the table. Okay, I will stop picking on him.Walking through I begin to sort out the food, my eyes on Isla, it's crazy to think that she is already nearly two months old. Even more crazy is when I consid
Thank you for reading Book 3 of Forbidden Love! I'm adding book four to this one. In the fourth book, Sammi, the youngest of the family, has always lived under the protective shadow of her four older brothers. Shielded from the world and kept from the adventures others her age enjoy, she often feels trapped by their well-meaning vigilance. But when she unexpectedly returns home early after losing her job, Sammi finds herself in a situation far more thrilling—and dangerous—than anything she's ever experienced.Sneaking into the house, hoping to avoid her brothers' questions, Sammi heads straight for the bathroom. But instead of solitude, she’s met with the sight of Grayson—her brothers' best friend and the man she’s secretly admired—naked under the spray of the shower. The shock of seeing him like this is nothing compared to what happens next: she hears her name breathlessly uttered from his lips as he pleasures himself, unaware of her presence.When Grayson realises she’s there, ever
Waking, I get ready and walk downstairs. As I enter the kitchen, I hear the laughter right away. "Fucking hell Grayson, I'm surprised she didn't cut it off and feed it to you," my brother Joel laughs and turns to see me. "What are your plans for today, kiddo?" Kiddo, I'm not a kid. Rolling my eyes, I begin cooking and ignore his question, more in refusal to accept that they call me that. "Samantha, what are you doing today?" Zade looks at me, and I shrug. "Nothing until work. Why?" Is this where they say they need me out of the way? They do that sometimes, and I know it's because they bring back whatever woman they are fucking together. They think I don't know, but I know. I give up on cooking and grab something quick."You have not moved out yet, Kiddo?" Grayson, their friend, laughs. "No, why would I? This is my parents’ house; why are you living here again?" I glare at him, and they laugh. "She's staying here where we can watch her." Jax smiles and hugs me. "Where's Zak?" I
Sitting, I look at Paul, his head shaking. "You're fired." I almost laugh in disbelief, but I hold it in and wait for him to say it's a joke or explain further. He doesn't; he sits looking at me like the conversation is over and done. "Why?" I, at least, am owed a reason for him firing me. "You're not ideal to work here, Sammi. You stand out from everyone, and not in a good way. Look, I gave you months because of who you are, but now it's time to admit it's not working." I still don't understand why I am not ideal to work here. "It's a club. How am I not ideal?" All I have to do is serve some damn drinks, which I do perfectly. "I'm the fastest server you have; how is that not ideal, Paul?" He sighs and points out to the club. "Look around, Sammi. You don't fit in. Guys here want to have fun and see women, and you don't dress the part. You don't flirt with the customers; you serve drinks, and that's it. The women here need to be confident; they need to flaunt their bodies and chat
