(Harper’s pov)I could feel his finger trailing the line in my back, his warm lip pressing kisses all over my body.“I have to go to work Gideon” I chuckled. My fingers played with his hair.“Just a minute, I just can't let go” Gideon whispered.I turn to face him now, his eyes perfect for his perfect sculpted face, those jawlines were made especially for him.I cupped his face in my hand, slightly brushing his face. “I desperately want to stay but I have a presentation to give,” I told him, trying to get up but he held me down.“Gideon” I dragged his name “Am sorry love, but I really can't let you go now,” his voice brushes against my ear, sending a wave of electricity all over my body.His mouth is connected with the way his hand is sliding down my arm. Is all too much, all so good.“You taste so good Harper” he moaned between kisses.I gave out a breathy laugh as he leaned in. His lips brushed, testing, soft, and warm. He pulled back, his eyes staring at me.“Do you still want to
(Harper’s pov)Greece? A mistake I had planned on keeping till I died but fuck it, trusting Alice with such vital information.What was I thinking, I got wasted and then was in bed with my tourist guide, he was very handsome like those Greek gods, maybe Ares was a perfect description.Or Artemis, maybe Eros, he was freaking handsome is all I have to say and he was being too friendly.We decided to hang out one last time before I called my vacation off, I just fought with Edward and I thought it was probably the end of our relationship back then.Unfortunately, he apologized and did all sorts of things to win my affection back and I fell for it.Going back I just realized that the only time Edward had been sweet to me was when he wanted to apologize or he needed a favor.What a fucking bastard, why should I feel bad, it not like we are dating anymore.I picked up my glass of iced tea, taking a full gulp as I glared at Edward.“Am I supposed to apologize or feel bad, mine was a mistake,
(Gideon’s Pov)I hated the fact that she kept lying to my face, she had promised to not meet him up. But yet she went behind my back and did the opposite.What if he had hit her, why would she even give ears to what he had to say?“Gideon, are you okay” she asked as I drove in silence. I had waited for Edward to leave to drive her home since she wanted to keep our relationship secret.“Am fine” I lied, “I know you are angry about Edward but I can explain” she trailed in.“Explain what? You lied to me this morning when I asked who was on the phone, why didn't you tell me” I questioned,Harper said nothing, her eyes stared at my face but she quickly turned away.“Why can't you give me a reason, do you still have feelings for Edward” I asked I hope that was not true, I hope it was just my useless thinking and not true, please say something, Harper, and assure me that there's nothing at all.“Let me explain George” She repeated I hit the steering wheel so hard, causing the car to honk
(Alice’s Pov)As I entered the room, the overpowering odor of alcohol assaulted my senses, indicating that Edward had drowned his frustrations in liquor.Advancing further into the room, my gaze fell upon Edward sprawled on the bed, accompanied by two unclothed women beside him.While I had been tirelessly working to resolve his issues, here he was reveling in the company of other women, hosting parties. The question lingered in my mind: where did he even find the resources to throw such extravagant gatherings?Heading to the kitchen, I poured myself a glass of water, mustering the courage to confront Edward. Returning to the room, I hurled the water at him, breaking the glass as it shattered on the floor."What the hell!" he exclaimed, his gaze locking onto me."Are you sober now?" I demanded, discarding the glass with a resonating crash.The women looked at me in shock, their expressions betraying a mix of fear and disbelief. Perhaps I was on the brink of insanity dealing with this
(Harper’s Pov)I stared at Alice as she stood there, a little luggage bag in her hand, confused, I leaned on the door.“Mind explaining what's going on,” I asked trying to understand what she was doing here.“I need a place to stay for a while,” she said.I arched a brow at her statement, was she real, after everything she had the guts to stand in front of me saying all this.“What happened to your dorm room, did you cause trouble again” I questioned waiting for her to respond.Alice laughed crazily, her hand grabbing her suitcase, Has she finally gone crazy, why should I even be concerned about her, she was practically the cause of her problem.“Of course, it is always Alice causing trouble, my perfect too-good sister is always innocent” she glared at me.“Are you here to argue or get on nerves?” I askedShe rolled her eyes, digging her fingers into her already messed-up hair before speaking. “Are you going to let me in or not”“Do you have any right to act up right now, or give opti
(Harper’s pov)It has been two fucking days of hell, from my work and home, Alice was getting on my nerves and I couldn't take it anymore.She creates messes around the house and acts nonchalant and uses her pregnancy as an excuse, like why do I give a fuck. I didn't get her pregnant so why should I be suffering from a mistake she dragged herself into not to mention Edward?I groan, I get annoyed just thinking about him, he has turned the whole office upside down and I get the side-eyed looks from everyone because they all still think am engaged with him.Since Edward goes around lying about me begging him to take me back after he called off our engagement, the nerve of that good-for-nothing guy.He was always making mistakes and and the end of the day we the junior staff always get scolded for his errors.I have been up and down cleaning his mistake to avoid more eyes and insults from the other staff and all he does is yell and take a one-hour break.“Here are the documents,” I said
I unlocked the door and stepped in, it was a long trip, and being apart from Edward for a week was unbearable."Babe I'm back"Stepping into our bedroom, my exhausted eyes scanned the room, my heart pounding in my chest as I took in the sight before me.I had just returned from a demanding week-long business trip in London, and now here I stand, staring at my sister in bed with my fiance.Shock and devastation coursed every fiber of my being threatening to consume me.The sacrifice I had made for these two suddenly burned in my chest. My hands kept trembling as I squeezed the edge of the doorway, my knuckles turning white under the weight of my emotions.Silently I stepped back, my footstep eerily soundless against the carpeted floor. I refused to give them the satisfaction of seeing me. Not now, I pressed my quivering lips together, suppressing the wrenching sobs that clawed at my throat. No, I would not break in front of them.As I slowly retreated from the room and hauled a cab, ge
His touch filled me. As our bodies pressed together, the heat between us was nearly overwhelming. His hand roamed over my body, igniting a fire within me I couldn't ignore.I tangled my fingers in his hair, pulling him closer, and deepening our kiss. The world around us faded away, leaving only an intoxicating sensation of his lips against mine.Time seemed to stand still as we lost ourselves in each other, surrendering to the passion that consumed us both. Every nerve ending in my body was alive with desire, hungry for more.His kisses trailed down my neck, sending shivers of pleasure down my spine."Stop" I managed to catch my breath"What" he asked, his eyes filled with lust"I can't do this" I manage to say"You are joking right," he asked leaning in to kiss me back but I pulled away. "Did I do something wrong""No, it's not you, it's just me, I can't, not now" I stared at him hoping he would understand"Let me guess, you are holding back because of him" he questioned, I sat there
