C H A P T E R T H I R T Y - T W OALEXhe masquerade charity ball was the first time I found myself enjoying an event of this sort. Being groomed and raisedaround these sorts of affairs since my grandfather adopted me, I always found them mundane and used them as an excuse to possibly get laid. But even at times, that was a stretch for me.This time, instead of bullshitting with everyone and drinking booze to help pass the time, I was lost admiring Breanne. Even wearing her dazzling mask, she was welcomed and appreciated by all in attendance. Instead of jealousy creeping up on me, I felt a swelling sense of pride that the auburnhaired beauty was mine.I watched as Avery and Bree moved through the room with style and grace, and I was rendered speechless on more than one occasion. I knew words were being flung around the room about us, and whispers were made behind masks—a blatant excuse to gossip if you pulled off your attire well at one of these occasions. Regardless, my eyes were on

Fuck. I knew I could do this. I understood that Bree needed to know, but could I be the man she needed if this news was received horribly? I was throwing that damn word love around like I understood what it entirely meant. Hell, I pulled a marriage proposal out of my ass, and why? Because I trusted and cared enough about her to let her in a little bit on my fuckedup past?“Alex?” Bree questioned, her hand brushing along the stubble on my face. “You look like you’re going to tie me up and have your way with me or something?” She smiled as I let out a breath. “Why the dark expression so suddenly?”I chewed on the inside of my tightened bottom lip. “How’s a walk on the beach sound?”She cocked her head to the side curiously. “I’d rather take my sexy lover to bed,” she grinned. “I’m down for a walk, but we missed the sunset by four hours or so.”“San Diego beaches are beautiful with or without sunsets,” I smiled. “Go and change into something that will keep you warm. There’s something—” I

“That sounds like something he’d say. I guess he was right,” she said with sadness in her voice.“Were you happy running that business, or are you happier designing and keeping that part of his vision alive?”“I just feel like I failed him.”I took her hand. “Jim and I feel as though we failed him in his requests. You’ve seen me work, and I’m sure you understand that I’m all numbers, profits, and business. At the time, we were more focused on the fact that Brian Stone was handing his business to us, and we weren’t so concerned about keeping his daughter happy. I am now, of course. Jim and I failed him, letting it come down to the fact that we let you have too much freedom at Stone Company. I should’ve insisted you and I meet back then and that I audit the company to see why it needed regular donations.” I arched an eyebrow at her. “We should’ve been more involved, but we were assholes,and I’m sorry to you and your father for that.”“Don’t you even think about taking on that burden,”

After we got back to the hotel room, Bree seemed numb in thought, and that’s when I knew for sure that love was more than sex and more than admiring a woman from across the room, or while she worked, or hearing her call out my name. All of that was a fantastic addition to being attached to a woman, but what love was proving itself to mean to me was entirely different. It was allowing this beautiful soul to curl up around me and let me hold her as her broken heart shed tears until she fell asleep peacefully at my side.I didn’t interrogate her. I didn’t try to fix her sadness. I didn’t do all the shit I always did when I delivered shitty news. I just held her and loved her with every ounce of my being. I knew now that Breanne Stone was mine to love, care for, and adore until she either pushed me away or I left this life.There was no other woman for me but her. No other woman I could ever hold and give a damn about. When you were with her, you saw sincerity and love that went deeper th

All in all, everything was moving so smoothly. I had to wonder what the hell happened to force a one-eighty shift in my life. I mean, down to the fact that Brooks and Stone had fully merged, and it ran like a well-oiled machine. A lot of that credit went to Alex, though. He was undoubtedly no bullshit in the office, and when mandatory meetings were called, the man carried himself as someone you didn’t cross with a lame-ass remark.So, here I was, enjoying nine months of sheer bliss with a man I deeply loved, my best friend was getting married off, and now, all of this charity stuff was rolling out beautifully. I couldn’t help but have a smile plastered on my face everywhere I went. The only thing that was missing lately was the amount of time I got to see Alex. We were constantly missing each other.Even when he invited me to dinner with all of his friends, Alex got held up at a job site, and his friends got to enjoy my company without him. It all worked, though. The men always had th

My hands went from nearly tearing out his always perfectly styled hair from his head to massaging it while I rode out the pleasure. My favorite part of all of this was when Alex brought his mouth to cover all of my opening, his tongue massaging my orgasm as it gushed into his mouth. His whimpers and soft moans as if he were devouring a savory steak was what created the constant ripple effect of a throbbing sensation that surged through my clit and inside of me while I came in him.Alex kissed and licked at the inside of my thighs before I was in his arms, and we wound up using the bedroom to continue through the night. Thank God tomorrow was a beach day because I was all about laying out and dreaming up our next rounds. The addictions and cravings were back, and I seriously wondered how we managed only to have sex once a week after this perfect reunion.I was on my stomach, ass in the air, and Alex was working over my pussy with his length when his phone alerted that Alex never put th

I had no answer. “Time’s flown in the last nine months. We’ve hardly seen each other, and the two times you’ve proposed to me were not situations where you were thinking clearly.”“Whatever.” He shrugged me off. “If you want to go, then go with me. This won’t be pretty. Perhaps we’ll both discover together why it’s probably a good idea for you not to marry me.” He brushed past me. “Trust me, myfather will give you plenty of reasons to stay far away from me.”“Alex!” I stormed into the room after him. “Look at me.”He glanced back, and that’s when I saw tears slip out of his eyes. “What?” he choked out.“I’m here for you, and I plan to always be here for you. I love you, and I guess this is the point when I do accept your proposal because I’m not leaving your side ever.” I took my hands and brushed his tears from his wet cheeks. “You’re officially stuck with me. Are you okay with that?”He sniffed. “I don’t want to lose you.”“Then don’t try to push me away again like you just attempt

I told myself that I didn’t give a fuck about what my old man said or who he said it to while I was here paying my final respects to my mom, but here I was, unable to sleep—afraid to sleep—worried that Bree was about to discover the truth of who I really was.She would see the man behind the illusion I put on for the world. Although, it never felt like an illusion until these damn emotions took control of me. My grandfather busted his ass to give me the second chance I deserved. Even though my mom had sent me away, and Jane hated her for that, my mother never treated me like the evil human my father did.“So long as everyone is fucking aware, the past is in the past, Jen,” I whispered from where I hid in my usual office on Mitchell and Associates’ luxury jet.“Alex, we all swore not to say one word about you or any of it. This is why I don’t understand why you showed up after her stroke and why you’re coming here now.”“I have my reasons. Regardless of what everyone believes, I’m not

I probably should’ve waited for Bree so we could arrive together, but I wanted to see my mother alone. Bree accepted my reasons for going ahead, but I could tell she wasn’t thrilled by it even though she didn’t say as much. She told me she’d meet me there once she was dressed and ready, and I didn’t stick around for her to change her mind and insist on joining me early. Was it a dick move on my part? Probably. Was I pushing her away from me subconsciously because I was terrified of her being here in the first place? Definitely.“Alexander O’Conner?” I heard a young woman say, prompting me to halt my easy walk into town from the bed and breakfast.I turned back, praying to God this wasn’t going to be an awkward conversation. The woman was dressed nicely and was familiar, but I could hardly remember my life in this town.“I’m sorry, but you have me at a disadvantage,” I said, forcing the fake smile I’d been using even with Breanne since the call about my mom came in.“It’s Emma…” she pa

“Until she’s in the ground,” I said firmly, then brushed past him, eyeing my sister Jen and her greasy-haired husband on my way out of the chapel hall.Fuck if I didn’t hate that man more with every stride that I took out of that room. Son of a bitch. I suddenly felt like that little boy who didn’t understand why his father despised him. I felt weak with emotion, and I hated it.I had to go to the grave. I had to see it for myself and try to finally make sense of it all. The grave was the reason the old man hated me with every bone in his body.I marched through the brisk streets, seeing the entrance to the cemetery and the plot that was dug up across the tree-covered, snow-filled lawns— Mom’s final resting place. I kept walking, and I chewed on my bottom lip when I stopped and stood in front of the headstone that read my twin brother’s name.“Albert,” I softly said, not remembering him well. We were only six years old when it happened.I couldn’t say another word. I couldn’t do anyth
