All Chapters of Build You Up : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Missy POVIt’s been a week since the incident with Monica. Moving past it hasn’t been easy for me, but I’ve been trying.Adrian has been great. Overly attentive and constantly affectionate, always going out of his way to be a gentleman. He isn't even making a third of the dirty jokes he used to make. I like that he is trying so hard, but those small insecurities that still linger between us pop their ugly heads out, making me doubt myself all over again at times. I liked his dirty talk and his rough demeanor.And, he won’t sleep with me. That's the biggest insecurity of mine right now. I thought it was because of Hailey, but even when Hailey isn’t around and he comes over without her, he won’t do more than give me kisses. He doesn’t grope me, get over touchy, nothing. I tried to initiate more last night, but he insisted on taking me out to the bar in town instead. At the end of the night, he simply told me good-night, made sure all my doors were locked, then left, even though Britta

Adrian POVI had just gotten in my truck after leaving the pre-school that Hailey was set to start soon, after officially signing her paperwork and paying the deposit, when my sister called me. “Yep,” I drawled as I answered. “Hey, I think you need to get down to my work. Now.”“Why? Someone bothering you again?” Britt had a couple run-ins with men passing through harassing her a few times.“No, not me. That ugly green car guy is back, and he’s bothering your girlfriend.”“What?! Is Missy okay?”Ugly green car guy? It can’t be that fucking dickhead again. Is he that stupid? “She’s yelling at him for trying to touch her. Can you get here or should I call dad?”I’m going to fucking kill him. I told him to stay the fuck away from my woman. He’s trying to touch her? He’s dead. He’s fucking dead. “I’ll be right there,” I sneered, hanging up and tearing out of the parking lot a lot faster than is probably safe. Luckily, no children or parents are outside right now. I’m not far. It wou

Adrian POV“Daddy, why was Miss Missy sad?” Hailey asks me, cuddled up on my chest as I lay on the couch. I put on a princess show for her, but neither of us are watching it. Seems her mind is where my mind is right now too. I smiled sadly at her, running my fingers through her hair. “I’m not sure, baby.”Gawd, I wish I knew what was eating at Missy. I could sense she had been off the past few days, and I guess that asshole showing up just pushed her too far. I just don’t know why she was avoiding me. Fridays are the days I always get off early to go get Hailey before we meet at the diner. I was hoping today to use the time to hang out with both my girls before we go to meet my sister and dad, but I guess that’s not going to happen. I checked my phone again, seeing if Brittany even texted me back. I sent her a message soon after she left, but she just sent me back an emoji to flip me off and has ignored me ever since. One more. I’m just going to send her one more text. ME:| Is

“I like this dress,” Adrian says for the twentieth time, his fingers skimming along my flesh that meets the hem of it. “You said that,” I smirked over to him. “I mean, I really, really like this dress,” his fingers ventured a little further north, just underneath the hem. I bite my lip and my thighs tense with excitement. I missed this side of Adrian. The side of him that makes me feel desired and wanted. I felt like he had been disinterested in my body for the past week. When Barry said the crap he did about Monica, it brought out this raw jealousy in me, and those feelings of self-doubt. Now, with the way Adrian has been staring at my thighs, my chest and my body, I feel appreciated on a whole different level. I loved the caring, patient side of him, but I like normal, rude and crude Adrian best. We are driving back in his truck to my house to “talk”. Brittany made a big show of having an aunt and niece sleepover with Hailey, emphasizing to us over and over again that we had t

Missy POV“We will be back later, babe,” Adrian came up from behind me, moving my hair to the side and kissing my neck, making my head lull to his chest and my eyes to close as I moaned in contentment.“I love you,” he whispers in my ear.I looked back and smiled, “I love you too.”“Mmh,” he bites his lip lustfully, “I never get tired of hearing you say that.”I bopped him on the nose with my soap-covered dish sponge. “I love you, I love you, I love you. Now go. Hailey is going to be late for pre-k and you’re going to be late too.”Adrian and his dad got a big contract to repair and restore an old inn. They had to hire on a few more workers to help with the restoration and Adrian is supposed to be at the job site before they show up.“I can be late,” Adrian grumbles, going back to kiss my neck after wiping his soapy nose on my cheek.“Daddy, I’m ready!” Hailey chose that moment to come running in from the hall. I sent her to go brush her teeth after breakfast.Adrian groans and rests
