After the Divorce Chapter 46: Fighting the Urges
Marcus’s POVIt took more than self-discipline to not whip my length out of my trousers and fist it into my hand. Images of Sophia burned through me like a volcano erupting, a feeling that couldn’t be quenched no matter how many times I told myself that it wasn’t healthy.Each reproach came with a greater temptation, a feeling of what shouldn’t be —like the minute her breast had brushed my arm as she talked to me in the kitchen. She had been animated, talking about everything, trying to make sure that we didn’t have that awkward moment after the way she had landed on my body during her yoga session. But while she talked to me like I was her friend, I was so lost in my head, imagining unfathomable things that I would do to her body.The way I would swallow up her screams like they were better than the oxygen that I needed.She had been innocent, and me? I had been nothing but vile with my thoughts. So, when Diane’s text came and she had asked for a date — the one thing I had been avo
After the Divorce Chapter 45: Bitter Pill
Sophia’s POV“Are you free?” Lily’s text came, breaking me from my line of thought.I could say no, stay home and plot more on how to take down Marcus.I could keep my end of the bargain, and be a good friend.“Yes, I am on my way,” I typed back, picking the latter. Besides, Marcus wasn’t here now; I would be done before he returned. With that defining thought, I searched out for something weather appropriate, from Lily’s text.I was going to be doing a lot of hauling and heaving and well, that sounded like a lot of sweating. I almost laughed at how easy it had been to rile up Marcus. Well, I would have done more, if only she hadn’t walked down at that moment.If she had given me ten more minutes, I was certain that I would have done more, gotten more reaction from him.***“You do know that this is unpaid labour, right?” I heaved, dropping the last set of lighting panels I had been holding. Lily had a visions for the shot, but the thing with vision was that they came with pain. And
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 17: Don’t Apologise
Sophia’s POVThe moment she walked in, the second she smiled I knew she was going to ruin everything.She knew what she was doing, making me look small even when she hid her snares with kind words.“Sophia?”I quickly wiped the tears that streamed down my cheeks, “Come in,” my voice croaked as I st
After the Divorce Chapter 15: The Art Of Losing
Sophia’s POVI woke up angry. Not the loud kind that has you screaming and breaking things. The gentle kind that leaves you crumbled, hidden away from anything that would hurt.I didn’t go downstairs, I wasn’t ready to see her just yet. I didn’t want her to know her words had broken something insid
After the Divorce Chapter 9: The Space Between Us
Sophia’s POVI’d only opened the door because I remembered the shopping bags. I wasn’t prepared for Marcus standing out there, jaw set in a way that meant something was wrong. He stared at me like I was the last person he’d expected to be out here, then softly, my name rolled out of his throat. “S
After the Divorce Chapter 7: Fists & Feelings
Sophia’s POV Throughout the ride to Jean’s apartment, the only thing I could think of was ‘what’s Jean doing here? Did he come for me? Does he want us to get back together or is he here for some closure?’ It stung that he still affected me this way despite how hard I’ve tried to move on. Marcus
