All Chapters of Can You Believe It? My Ex-Mate Wants Me Back!: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

VALERIAThe moment I saw Victor's face snap sideways from the force of Reese’s slap, anger ignited inside me like wildfire.I couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed. Why would Reese always blow things out of proportion?!The air between us crackled with tension as I glared at him, and I had to stop myself from lunging at him right then and there. My hands clenched into tight fists at my sides as I rounded on him.“What the hell were you thinking?” I yelled, my voice trembling with fury. “Why would you slap an investor? Are you out of your mind?”Reese’s eyes burned with a mix of anger and something else—something darker as he looked at Victor.His chest heaved as he tried to steady his breathing. But instead of the apology I expected, he spat out words that only added fuel to my fire.“That man,” he began, his voice low and dangerous, “invested in the project because he knew you were back. It wasn’t about business, Valeria. He was interested in you even though he's now married wit

VALERIAI was getting ready for bed, almost dozing off, when a knock at the door jolted me from my daze.Stunned by the odd intrusion, I gathered myself, taking precautions as I gingerly approached the door with furrowed brows.Who could that be at such an odd hour of the night?Intruders? Nope. They wouldn't be that courteous to use the front door. Then who?I paused at the door, adjusting my nightgown, before I opened the door.I blinked repeatedly, hoping it wasn't a dream, because what in Blazer's name was Reese doing at my front door by 11:47 p.m.?!What more did he want now? And besides, why was he here with Derek?“Reese? What are you doing here at this hour of the night?” I demanded, my voice tinged with irritation.Something flickered in his eyes—a storm of emotions that I couldn't fathom—but they quickly disappeared as soon as they came.He didn't say anything at first. Instead, he just froze, eyeballing me as if I were some juicy steak that he hadn't eaten in decades.I gul

LVALERIAHe was relentless, his hands and mouth driving me to the edge with a skill that only he possessed. He knew my body better than anyone and knew exactly how to touch me to make me come undone. And I was coming undone faster than I could have anticipated, my body aching for release.How he was still able to remember every curve and dip of my body after all these years baffled me.“I need you,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the sound of our heavy breathing.Fuck, my cunt was screaming for attention, aching to be touched by the one man that I couldn't stop loving after all these years.He didn’t need to be told twice. His hands moved to the waistband of my pants, unbuttoning them with a deftness that spoke of years of practice. I let out a shaky breath as he peeled them down my legs, his eyes darkening as he took in the sight of me fully bare before him.“God, Valeria,” he muttered, his voice thick with need. He dropped to his knees before me and gripped my waist.I g

REESEThe blaring horn snapped me back to reality, and I swerved just in time, slamming the brakes, my heart pounding like the galloping of a thousand horses against my chest as the headlights blurred my vision for a moment.The tires screeched as the car veered off the road and straight into a ditch. The impact jolted through my body, but I was too stunned to move, too lost in the whirlwind of thoughts that kept clouding my mind.I cursed under my breath, gripping the steering wheel tightly. I couldn’t afford to lose focus like that, not when so much was at stake.I took a few deep breaths to calm my racing heart. That was too close!But it was a wake-up call. I needed to keep my head straight, even with everything going on with Valeria. I couldn’t let my emotions cloud my judgment, especially not now."Fuck! That was close!" I muttered under my breath, gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white.Valeria.....The woman who had turned my life upside down, who

VALERIAHe inched closer, his breath warm against my face. Every instinct screamed at me to back away, to regain control, but his nearness was magnetic, pulling me into the gravity of his presence. Before I could think any further, his lips claimed mine, and it was like a switch was flipped.I lost myself in the kiss, melting into the heat that surged between us. The frustration, the doubt—all of it—evaporated in the face of this undeniable connection. It was terrifying how easily he still affected me and how quickly I fell apart when he touched me like this.The tension that had been simmering between us for so long finally erupted, and all the words we had left unsaid spilled out in the way our bodies moved together.His hands slid down my back, gripping my waist with a possessiveness that sent a shiver through me. Damn, I should pull away and tell him to stop, but instead, I let him deepen the kiss and let myself get lost in the way his lips moved against mine.Before I knew it, we
