All Chapters of Tempting Hot Neighbor: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

As soon as they reached their room, Ashley slammed the door shut behind them and turned on Nicole, her eyes blazing with anger."Can't you just shut your mouth for once?" Ashley demanded, her voice trembling with rage. "You've ruined everything, Nicole. How am I supposed to go to the office now? He'll definitely fire me."Nicole stood her ground, still fuming from the confrontation with Lucas. "It would be good for you, Ash," she said, her voice firm. "At least you won't have to bear with that bastard anymore."But Ashley's expression crumpled, and she burst into tears. "I used to go to the office only for him," she sobbed, her body shaking with emotion.Nicole's expression faltered, and she felt a pang of regret. She had never seen Ashley so broken, so vulnerable. She realized that her sister's feelings for Lucas went far deeper than she had ever imagined."Ash, I'm sorry," Nicole said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to stand up for you."But Ashley sh

As they walked, the scenery around them began to change. The beach narrowed, and the hills surrounding them grew taller and more rugged. Nicole's eyes widened as she took in the breathtaking view. The hills, the beach, and the sea all came together to create a stunning panorama.Nicole's jaw dropped as she gazed out at the sight before her. She had never seen anything so beautiful in her life. The hills rose up on either side of them, their peaks shrouded in a misty veil. The beach was a narrow strip of golden sand, and the sea sparkled like a thousand diamonds in the fading light.Gage watched Nicole's expression, a small smile playing on his lips. He had never brought anyone to this place before. It was a spot that held a deep significance for him, a place where he came to find peace and solitude. He had spent countless hours here, alone with his thoughts, and it was a place that felt like a part of him.But there was something about Nicole that made him want to share this place wit

The next morning, Ashley and Nicole decide to spend the day lounging on the beach. They set up a colorful umbrella and spread out a blanket, surrounded by towels, sunscreen, and a cooler filled with refreshing drinks.As they soak up the sun and enjoy the sound of the waves, Ashley can't help but feel grateful for the relaxing vacation. She's been stressed out lately, and this trip has been just what she needed.Nicole, on the other hand, is a bit more restless. She's still trying to shake off the thoughts of Gage that have been lingering in her mind since their encounter the night before.Just as they're settling in, Gage and Lucas appear on the horizon, walking towards them with big smiles on their faces. Ashley's eyes light up at the sight of Lucas, and she can't help but feel a flutter in her chest.Nicole, on the other hand, looks less than thrilled to see Lucas.As the two men approach, Ashley jumps up to greet Lucas, throwing her arms around him in a warm hug. Nicole, meanwhile

Nicole's eyes sparkled with amusement as Gage pulled her closer, his face inches from hers. She pretended to be angry, her voice laced with fake indignation. "What do you think you're doing?" she asked, trying to sound stern.Gage just chuckled and pushed her towards the pool wall, trapping her between his arms. Nicole's back was against the cool tile, and Gage's body was pressed against hers, his eyes gleaming with mischief."What are you doing?" Nicole asked again, her voice a little breathless.Nicole's fake anger started to slip, replaced by a growing sense of excitement. "I'm still angry," she said, trying to sound convincing.Gage's smile grew wider. "Let me release your anger," he whispered, his lips brushing against her ear.Gage's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze burning with intensity. "I don't think you are," he said, his voice low and husky. "I think you're just pretending to be angry because you don't know how to react to me."Nicole's eyes flashed with surprise, but Gage j

Nicole walked back to her room, expecting to find it empty, but instead, she was greeted by her sister Ashley, who was already up and about. Ashley's eyes narrowed slightly as she took in Nicole's disheveled appearance."Where have you been?" Ashley asked, her voice tinged with a hint of curiosity.Nicole hesitated for a moment before responding, "I was just... uh... out for a walk."Ashley raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced, but she didn't press the issue. Instead, she switched gears, her expression turning serious."I was looking all over for you. We need to get ready. Lucas's parents want to meet me, and I'm a nervous wreck."Nicole's eyes widened in surprise. "His parents want to meet you? Why do I need to be there?"Ashley's eyes pleaded with Nicole. "Come on, Nic, I've never been in this situation before, and I really need your support. I'm freaking out just thinking about it."Nicole sighed, feeling a pang of sympathy for her sister. "Fine, I'll be there for you. But you ow
