Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste Book 2: Twenty-Two
Elijah's POVCeleste had just left after I had convinced her to go home and get some rest. She had been shaking like a leaf in that wet silk nightdress, beside herself with panic, and having her pacing the floor wasn't helping anyone. I practically had to push her out the double doors and call her an Uber myself. But I couldn't convince Kassidy to do the same. She flat-out refused to move an inch from the waiting room.So I stayed with her throughout the night. Right now, she was sleeping on one of the plastic chairs in the waiting room, her knees pulled up toward her chest and her cheek pressed awkwardly against the armrest.I leaned my back against the cold wall, staring down at her. I couldn't believe that some hours ago, we had been kissing passionately in a meeting room
Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste Book 2: Twenty-One
Kassidy's POVI didn't stop running until I stood in the parking lot, taking deep breaths of cold air to clear my head. But when I looked down at my empty hands, my heart dropped. My handbag and my rental car keys were still sitting right on top of the long conference table inside.The last thing on earth I wanted to do was walk back through those doors after what had just happened between us. My lips were still stinging, and my whole body was shaking with fury. But I couldn't drive away without my keys.I pushed open the front entrance of the office building and hurried back down the dark hallway. Before long, I stood outside the meeting room door, hesitating. I was terrified of turning it and finding him sitting there waiting for me. I held my breath, slowly pushed t

Elijah's POVFour hours later, the meeting room was a complete disaster area. The table looked like a war zone, littered with empty paper coffee cups, crumpled napkins, some takeout packs and scattered papers. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city had long gone dark, leaving only the reflection of the ceiling lights against the windows.I had been staring at my laptop screen for the past hour or so, the bright white glow burning into my eyes until the numbers started blurring together. My neck was stiff, and my shoulders were sore. When I finally looked up from the screen, my eyes landed on Kassidy. She was sitting across from me, looking disheveled. Her straight ponytail from earlier was now messy, loose strands of hair framing her face, and her eyes were unfocused as she stared blankly at a page of notes.
Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste Book 2: Nineteen
Elijah's POVI stepped through the sliding glass doors of the Ashford Holdings main building at eight in the morning that Monday, holding a cup of black coffee and carrying my briefcase. But before I could even make it three steps past the security desk, Miller materialized right beside me, clutching a red folder against his chest like it was a live bomb."Mr. Ashford, Mr Ashford, we have a situation," Miller said, dropping into step next to me as he tried to match my pace."Miller, for God's sake," I grunted, not stopping in my strides. "Can you at least allow me to settle down in my office before attacking me with work?""Sir, I wouldn't bother you if it wasn't critical," Miller pressed. "We ran into a problem with the paperwork for the acquisition. If we don't fix this and file the updated documents ASAP before tomorrow morning, the whole business acquisition will crumble right in front of us."I stopped dead in my tracks right in the middle of the crowded hallway. People swerved
Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste Book 2: Eighteen
Kassidy's POVPiper's words kept looping in my head like an endless, tormenting echo, even after we left the deli. Every time I looked at Summer playing with her wooden blocks on the rug, my throat felt like it was closing up. The secret I had held to myself like a shield for four long years was suddenly killing me. Now I was keeping a niece from her aunt. Her aunt who was running out of time, who could die at any time.I didn't leave the apartment for the rest of Saturday or Sunday. The blinds stayed drawn, and I kept the front door locked. My phone kept buzzing and lighting up with messages and calls. Celeste's name popped up on the screen over a dozen times, followed by frantic text messages asking why I had sprinted away from the deli and if Piper had said something to upset me. I couldn't answer her. I didn't have the energy to explain the wreckage inside my head, so I turned the ringer off and let the notifications pile up in silence.By Sunday night, the silence in the apartme

Kassidy's POV"Can we talk alone?" Piper asked as she looked between me and Celeste.I felt cornered in that moment. After the last call that Piper had made to me, I had decided to never let her see me until I left Wisconsin. I did not want to talk to her, much less about all the ghosts in our past. I had promised myself that I would hide my daughter away from her and her brother.And yet, here she was. And she'd seen Summer already.Staring up at Piper with suspicious eyes, I shook my head. "I don't think I want to talk to you, Piper.""No, no, I completely understand if you're a little wary of me. Considering everything that has happened to us, I really c

Kassidy's POVEli was standing in the middle of the room with his arms crossed, like he'd been pacing before he heard the bathroom door. His arms were crossed, and his jaw clenched. I rolled my eyes as soon as I got over the shock. I snapped. "What the hell are you doing in my room?"He didn't sa

Kassidy's POVThe rain started at four forty-seven in the evening. I had no umbrella, and I had no rain jacket. All I brought was a tote bag with a notebook in it that I absolutely could not afford to replace. The bus stop was a seven-minute walk from the campus gates. I was already having the wors
