LOGINLewis’ POVHe’s fu–ed her? Already? And she rates it 110? Didn’t she want to wait until marriage? A hard and painful lump forms in my throat, stealing air from my lungs. Regret haunts me in this moment, mocking and laughing in my face as I watch Alex stroke Soph Soph’s back. My mouth dries. I can’t deny that I’ve been curious ever since she arrived to know what she wore underneath that fur. But now, I can just imagine.Her skin looks creamy and smooth from here. Her rhinestone top is luxuriously stunning and… sexy. He’s encased her in his arms, and she’s just so beautifully small in his lap, pressed against him willingly, holding onto him, putting those two softies on him, and fitting him in a way that causes my heart to ache.She slowly moves, hugging him tighter before pressing a kiss on his cheek.“Get that ****, girl!” Stassie screeches.More screams and cheers of support boom over my head. Even Kylie is smiling now, reveling in the fact that Sophia is undeniably unavailable
Sophia’s POVMy fingers tremble despite Alexander’s hands covering them. My heart pounds in my ears, threatening to break my borrowed courage, yet I feel light and floaty, almost untouchable. It’s all thanks to the cocktails.Kylie opens her mouth again, “I wasn’t bullying–”“Just apologize.” Barbara cuts her off.“What for? I wasn’t–”“Kylie?” Lewis holds her, gritting my teeth.“Um…” Candace begins. I shift my eyes to her, and she’s unable to hold my gaze. “I didn’t mean to–”“No need to apologize,” I utter and turn to Scott. “Let’s keep playing. You’ve not asked us.”Alexander holds me so close against his body; it’s incredibly warm and has me feeling all sorts of wonderful things, especially butterflies. It’s pointless to let sad people ruin my night for me. Nothing is my fault; I didn’t ask to be ‘fat’ prone.“Don’t let them bother you.” He whispers and slowly presses a kiss to my shoulder. A smile is pushed to my lips before I nod in response. After all, thanks to this game, and
Lewis’ POVSophia shakes her head in response, unaware that Alex is looking at her, almost like he’s studying her.“No one.” She answers with confidence. “Neither of us would cheat.”“Alex, what about you?”He slowly lifts his eyes from her, holding Scott’s gaze.My brows twitch in curiosity.Why was he looking at her like that? Does he think she’ll cheat on him? With who?“No one.” He says plainly and meets Sophia’s gaze. She blinks, folding her lips.What’s going on?His lips spread in a slow smile, arms curving around her as he pulls her against him. She scrunches up her nose and breaks into a smile, too. She puts her arms around his, relaxing against his body.My hand shakes. I grab a snack and chew hard. But when I sit back, Kylie’s unsettled gaze is on me. She exhales, looking away in annoyance.“Those two are getting flirty,” Nicole remarks.“I’m speechless.” Barbara laughs. “Is this really Alex?!”Everyone chuckles.“All right! Let’s keep going. Lyra, draw a card.” Scott says
Lewis’ POVBarbara and Sean are expecting.They dropped the news on us some minutes ago, giving everyone more reasons to celebrate. I’m still in awe. But while we wait for Sophia and Barbara to return from wherever they went before we start the couples game, the rest of us have been discussing sports and all that’s been happening in the country. “I saw a bit of that one. Manchester United won.” Alex says to Luke as he sips champagne.My brows flick up while Luke and Aaron’s jaws drop.“You watch soccer now?” Scott asks.He smiles as he nods. “Once in a while. Soph’s a huge fan of the European Premier League.”“Noooo!” The guys chorus in excitement.I glance at him. They watch soccer together?“What’s her team?” Sean asks.“Chelsea.”“Ouuu! She’s smart.” Sean sits up, joining the conversation.“Is that yours, too?”He nods. “Her favorite player?”“James,” Alex answers in a breath.“Ouuuu! Where is she?!” He claps with enthusiasm, stamping his feet. “She went to college in London. Sh
Lewis’ POVSurrounded by a field of rich greens, the group erupts in cheers, drowning the music as the couple treads the cobbled path toward us. The DJ has turned down the music.Like everyone else, my eyes are on them—on one of them, actually. Soph Soph.All grown and every bit a woman. An attractive one.Hot, curvy legs on display in white tights as she struts in heels. Mini black shorts, hugging her small hips in a manner so… tantalizing. She looks sexy and adorable, to say the least. Then her cropped fur jacket. I sip champagne, wondering what’s underneath.Is she cold? I hope not. Thankfully, it’s not windy tonight. There’s a bashful smile on her face as she turns to… another man.She lifts her small hand to his left cheek, but he quickly catches her wrist before muttering something to her. She averts her gaze, blushing.Blushing…My jaw twitches.There’s got to be a sliver of hope. I sense Kylie’s eyes on me and drop my eyes to drink champagne. Candace is the first to approa
Alexander’s POVSophia’s breasts. That’s all I see. Fair, plump, so full and pushed up. Not just that. They’re glistening, like the rest of her skin, calling for every Tom, Dick, and Harry’s attention. I catch two blue veins snaking on top of them. They’re dangerously secured in a white strapless bedazzled corset top—all rhinestone.Lewis immediately comes to mind. Then, the other guys who would all be present at Candace’s villa.“No.” The word spills out of me.Her heart-shaped lips fall apart, face falling as she holds my gaze.“No, Sophia,” I repeat and climb into the car. She slowly scoots back to her space to make room for me, staring at me as her heavily glossed lips form a pout.“Where’s your fur jacket?”“Um, it’s… um,” She mumbles, turning and reaching behind her.A tiny diamond necklace, big diamond stud earrings, and silver and gold bracelets complement her shine. She brings the fur jacket forward and offers it to me, mouth still folded in a salty pout.I take the jacket,
Sophia’s POV“We need to get you home,” Alexander speaks, shattering the dull humming in my head.My eyes flutter open, and it’s still dark. I take a deep breath, blinking as my brain tries to piece together what just happened. One minute, his hands were on my boobs, the next, I was… I don’t know.
Sophia’s POVI shudder in shock, watching him light the cigar with a soft click. I’ve never been this close to a man doing something so… intimate.But he’s going to touch me? Where?He brings the cigar to his lips, eyes fixed on me. The ember glows. He leans back, exhaling a slow cloud that curls li
Sophia’s POVAlexander’s calmness fills the elevator like gravity. I stare at my reflection against the panel—blonde hair secured in a neat bun, my teal silk skater dress falling perfectly—a 360-degree improvement from the last time I was here.He slowly holds my hand and locks our fingers with gen
