All Chapters of Rising From the Ashes: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Charlotte’s POVLunch was amazing, well apart from Jack who kept been nice to me. His leg kept rubbing against mine and it made me feel things I did not want to feel. Jack was a player, and I was not his type, these feelings would just hurt me in the end. I tried to focus on the meal and the conversation instead, but just when I thought I was doing well he would move and his hand would brush mine, or his leg would rub against mine. By the time we were finished and leaving the restaurant I was feeling full, but also very sexually frustrated. Jack made it worse as he lifted me into the car and one of his hands rested on my arse. I was only just starting to get the feeling back, but when Jack touched me, it was like sparks shot out and went straight to my core. The drive back to the office was pure hell, or I could think about was how close Jack was to me and how good he smelt. God, I needed help, thankfully when we arrived back he had to go back to ignoring me. I let out

Ryan’s POVAll though lunch I noticed Charlotte blushing, I looked over and saw Jacks leg pushed right against hers. Was he flirting with her? I tried to school my face, I had never seen Jack flirt. Once we were done Jack was quick to get behind her chair so that he could push her to the car. We all stopped when he got her out and his hand went and held her arse.“The sly dog” Laughed Warren as walked over to the driver’s seat.I had to agree with him, poor Charlotte was as red as a tomato. I sat next to trying to hold in my laughter. I have no idea if she realised it or not, but she was leaning towards Jack and it kind of looked like she was trying to smell him. When we arrived at the office, I noticed the sad look he gave Charlotte before he got out of the car. She would have noticed too if she was not so busy looking at her feet. I quickly got out to grab her chair.“Look after her” Jack growled at me before he walke

Charlotte’s POVI could not believe that Jack was paying for my tattoos with a blood Harley. I know nothing about bikes, but from the way that Reece looked like he was about to cry I was guessing it was a good one. I tried to hold my breath as Jack lifted me into the car. His hand went to my arse again and I had to hold in my moan. What the hell was this man trying to do to me. Once we were all in the car Jacks phone pinged. I was so used to his phone always going off that I did not think anything off it until he started to curse.“That mother fucker is trying to find me”.“Huh?” I looked at him confused.“Your darling husband, he has just broken into my apartment that I use as my address for everything”.He was trying to find me “He knows I am out of hospital”.“Yes, and I am guessing one of the nurses must have blabbed that you left with us”.I did not know what to sa

Ryan’s POVIt was so amusing watching Charlotte and Jack. I noticed that Jack had left to go talk to Lance. I decided to make the most of the space I pulled out my phone and sent a group text.Ryan – So who is up for a little wager?Grant – Always, what are we betting on?Ryan – How long it takes for Charlotte to move into Jack’s roomWarren – one monthLance – Fuck man I am saying 2wksGrant – Na I think she will take things slow. I am going to say 3 months.Ryan – Ha ha like how none of you said never. I am going 2 months.I wondered what Jack and Lance had spoken about for Lance to think it would only take two weeks. He did not know Charlotte like me and I don’t think that she would let her guard down that quickly. Poor Jack was so focused on ordering dinner that he did not even realise that we were all placing bets on him and Charlotte. I smiled at him happy

Charlotte’s POVAfter texting Ryan I fell into a restless sleep, was he right and Jack did like me? After tossing and turned for what felt like forever, I finally fell asleep only to be woken up by Warren shaking me.“Wake up sleeping beauty its time to train” He pulled back the covers and placed me in my chair. I looked down and realised that I was only in a singlet, and you could see all my scars.“Wait I need to put a long top on”.“You will get hot and none of us care about your scars, you are beautiful and have a smoking figure. If I liked girls, I would be trying to bang you” Warren laughed as he pushed me out of the room and towards the gym. We passed Ryan in the kitchen who looked up at us in shock.“Why are you guys up to early” He called out to us.“To the gym for training” Warren called back without even slowing down. As soon as we arrived, he squatted down in front
