After the Divorce Chapter 44: No more hiding
Sophia’s POVHe had been pressed up against me, the feel of him carved on my skin, a burn that couldn’t fade. But that wasn’t the only thing that had burned deep in me, it was the fact that the dangerous yet fleeting nanoseconds had brought curiosity, and now, I had made a decision, one that could set my whole world ablaze.But I didn’t care.Not anymore.I smiled as I stared at the shorts I held in my hand, a gift from Kyla from two years ago when I had expressed an interest in working as a bottle model. Dreams I never actually acted on, and somehow, this morning, this pair of shorts was about to live another dream. “This should do,” I muttered to myself as I picked up the cropped tank top, the sheer fabric that I knew would cling to my skin like a mesh dress.What is the plan? You might ask. Easy, I was going to seduce Marcus. I needed to feel that forbidden burn that I felt last night. I needed to be sure that it wasn’t just an imagination. That I had felt it… him, his hunger fo
After the Divorce Chapter 43: Doomed
Marcus’s POVThe door slammed shut behind me, my back pressed against it as if I was running from a demon. With trembling fingers, I worked the locks, clicking them shut. “What the hell just happened?” I mumbled to myself as I ran my fingers through my hair.The first mistake had been offering to help, and the second, letting myself dwell in the moment. The minute my hand touched her exposed skin, my mind had gone numb, frozen in time, enjoying everything that had to do with her body pressed against mine.And when she fell, when her body… no! I didn’t want to think about it, but there was no way I could get the image out of my mind. She had been on my body, her chest pressed hard against mine.My length twitched, begging to be pulled out of the joggers I was wearing and touched. I stared at my hardened length, the glare doing nothing to tame it.She smelt divine. Coconut and jasmine, a combination I never knew could be poisonous. I felt that twitch again. I gritted my teeth, my fist
After the Divorce Chapter 42: Don’t Let Me Fall
Sophia’s POVThe sound of the door closing caused my back to tense. My head turned to the door, my eyes meeting Marcus’s watchful gaze. Heat crept up my neck, his eyes lingering on my gym shorts — a pair that no one should see.“Welcome, I didn’t know you would be back so soon,” I muttered, hoping he didn’t hear how flustered I sounded. “How was work?”“Great,” he said in a gruff tone, rushing up the stairs as if he was being burned.I shrugged, fighting back the feeling that I was getting. If he was in one of those moods, I didn’t want to be on the receiving end of it. We had been fine, the call we had earlier in the day was alright. It wasn’t hard getting back to the workout. Kyla had sent the link, said it helped clear the mind, and well, I guess it was working. That was until a certain person walked in and now — “No thinking, focus,” I hissed under my breath.Besides, with the mood he was back in, I knew that he wasn’t going to come down. I guess this would do. The stairs creake
After the Divorce Chapter 41: Before She Gets Home
Marcus’s POVMaybe I should have done something. Maybe I should have intervened faster. But listening to Diane say those words — watching the way Sophia’s eyes glistened —I knew I had been too slow to react.But this was the thin line — I couldn’t bring myself to actually hold her. In Diane’s eyes, she was going to say I was supporting her, taking a side. Of course, I was. Sophia didn’t deserve the blow-out she had gotten. But my intervention still felt like nothing at the same time. Diane had been cruel. Sophia had been broken… and me? All that I could think about was the kiss that almost happened.I had let myself dream, wondering what would have happened a second later if Sebastian hadn’t shown up. What her lips would taste like — would they taste like cherries? Ever since I knew the name of her lip balm, it had become an obsession that was slowly trying to tear me apart.My phone buzzed, the sound forcing me to tear my gaze from the computer monitor I had been looking at. The s
After the Divorce Chapter 40: Unspoken Truth
Sophia’s POVI shouldn’t be thinking about it, but I was — my mind stuck on a path it should never have been on. Lying in bed, my eyes fixed on the ceiling as I thought about what last night would have been like. We had been free, the way he had laughed, the way his eyes had taken me in as if he was seeing me. When his hands had cupped my face as if it was the most natural thing to do.“God,” I groaned, feeling that heat creep up my neck, spreading slowly through my cheeks. I turned to my side, pulling the bed cover tighter between my legs, the force causing it to bump against my core. My body trembled from the sensation. This was stupid, having the reaction all because of an almost kiss, but my body didn’t think about that. It just didn’t care. Because the more I thought about it, the more the feeling intensified, the more everything felt too strong to be ignored.He had been close, so close that I could feel just how hard his body was against mine. “Stop,” I whispered in a weak to
After the Divorce Chapter 39: Dangerous Thoughts
Sophia’s POV “Marcus?” I was hit with an instant cold, the warmth of his fingers gone, my body jerked, my heart hammering hard in my chest at the sound of the voice. I needed to act fast, do something that would make what almost happened look different. “Ouch!” I cried. Marcus frowned as he pulled away slowly, the spell between us broken. I knew it. I couldn’t push it. “Are you okay?” he asked, his voice laced with worry. “My eyes — my lash was trapped between them.” He blew on it, his hand back to my face, holding me gently. But this didn’t feel like it. It didn’t feel like when he had held me with so much warmth. “I think it is gone now,” I muttered, watching a figure walk closer to where we stood. “Okay,” he hummed. He was the first to turn, smiling at his friend. “Hey, didn’t know I would see you around here,” he said. Sebastian didn’t look at him, his eyes were on me as if he was trying to figure out what was going on. “Hello,” he greeted, ignoring his friend. Marc
After the Divorce Chapter 31: Ghost Orchids
Sophia’s POV“Sure.”Just a word and yet everything in my body instantly relaxes. A wide grin spread across my face, “I know a nice spot we could walk to,” I said, hoping that my tone didn’t sound too eager.He nodded, his hands in his pockets as he waited for me to lead the way. I did, keeping sl
After the Divorce Chapter 30: The Wrong Company
Marcus’s POVThree hours in the gym felt like seconds. My body was slowly getting into these little things I did for distractions.The house was quiet when I walked in, a weird setting I hadn’t experienced in a long while. The reason I was back home this early? Diane had a date planned. I took a lo
After the Divorce Chapter 28: What I Couldn’t Have
Marcus’s POVHer words cut through the silence that had cloaked us. Her eyes were on me, hurt flashing in them. “You have been avoiding me.”It was a question, but it was also a statement. My eyes darted toward the stairs. “She isn’t home having a business dinner,” she said.I let out a sigh, the
After the Divorce Chapter 23: A Moment Of Weakness
Marcus’s POVThe shower didn’t help, but it felt like I was fighting for my life. Trying hard to breathe. I thought the water was going to scrub off the thought that wouldn’t leave my head.Diane was in the other room, sleeping softly on the bed, and here I was struck with an incessant thought — a
