TOO LATE TO WANT ME YOU SMELL LIKE THIS DRESS SOMETIMES
Chapter 85Skylar's POVI woke up slow, like my head was stuffed with cotton wool, and the first thing I noticed was that my wrists wouldn't move.I blinked hard, trying to clear my eyes, and the room came into focus bit by bit. Plain walls. No windows I could see. A single lamp in the corner throwing yellow light across the floor. My arms were tied behind the chair I was sitting in, the rope tight enough to bite but not tight enough to cut, which somehow made it worse, because it told me whoever did this had taken their time to get it right.My heart started pounding before my mind even caught up to where I was."Wakey wakey."Jason's voice. Close. Too close.He walked into view holding a cup, steam curling off the top of it, dressed casually now, no tuxedo, no charm turned on for a room full of people. Just him. And that was somehow more frightening than anything he'd said in the car."Let me go," I said, my voice hoarse, my throat dry from whatever he'd used to knock me out. "Jason
TOO LATE TO WANT ME SKYLAR IS MISSING
Chapter 84Zane's POVI called her number for the fourth time, standing in the middle of the corridor with her clutch still clutched in my other hand, watching the screen count through rings that nobody was ever going to answer.Voicemail again. Her voice, warm and unaware, telling me to leave a message."Skylar, if you get this, call me back the second you see it." My own voice sounded strange to me, too controlled, the kind of calm I'd trained myself to perform in boardrooms during hostile negotiations. It wasn't calm at all underneath. Underneath, something had already started screaming.Mara reached me at a near run, her heels abandoned somewhere behind her, stockinged feet slapping against marble. "What is it. What's wrong.""Her phone was on the floor. Her clutch was on the counter. The tap was still running.""Maybe she dropped it. People drop things.""Mara." I turned the phone screen toward her, the lock screen still glowing with a photo of Skylar and her children from years
TOO LATE TO WANT ME JUST BREATHE
Chapter 83Skylar's POVThe door of the car swung shut, sealing off the last thread of light from the ballroom, and for a moment all I could hear was my own breathing, too fast, too loud in the small enclosed space.Then a voice spoke from the seat across from me, calm in a way that made my blood run cold."You look beautiful tonight, Skylar."Jason.He sat with one leg crossed over the other, utterly at ease, as though we were simply sharing a car home from an ordinary evening instead of whatever this actually was. The woman who had gripped my wrist in the powder room slid into the front seat without a word, and the car began to move, smooth and unhurried, merging into traffic like nothing at all had happened behind that ballroom."You did this," I said, my voice shaking despite every effort to keep it steady. "You had them take me.""I had them bring you to me. There's a difference.""Is there." I reached for the door handle out of pure instinct, some animal part of my brain still c
TOO LATE TO WANT ME FEAR
Chapter 82 Skylar's POV The powder room on the east side of the ballroom was quieter than the rest of the gala, marble and low gold light, the kind of hush that only existed in places built for people who never had to wait for anything. I hadn't planned on needing a moment alone. But watching Jason disappear back into the crowd, and Zane's jaw still tight from whatever had passed behind his eyes when Jason walked away, I'd felt the evening pressing in on me all at once, and I excused myself to Mara with nothing more than a quiet "give me five minutes." I ran the tap and pressed cool water against my wrists, watching my own reflection in the mirror, the emerald silk catching the light exactly the way I'd designed it to. For a moment I let myself just breathe. No Jason. No calculating what he might do next. No wondering what Zane's silence had meant. Just five minutes. The door opened behind me, and I glanced up expecting Mara, already forming an apology for taking too long. It wa
TOO LATE TO WANT ME EX WIFE
Chapter 81The voice on the other end was quiet, almost apologetic."Mrs. Adams? This is Detective Ruiz, calling about the case against Mr. Whitfield."Not Jason. Not the past reaching for me in some new shape. Just the drunk driver's case, wrapping itself into a final loose thread."Yes," I said, exhaling."We just need your signature on a witness statement before sentencing next week. Nothing urgent. I can email the form.""That's fine. Thank you for calling."I hung up and looked at Mara, who had gone very still watching me, her glass forgotten on the table."Sentencing paperwork," I said. "Nothing more."She let her shoulders drop. "You'd think after everything we'd both stop flinching every time a phone rings.""You'd think."She reached for her champagne again, though most of the fizz had gone out of it by then, and neither of us minded.---The week that followed moved faster than I wanted it to.I told myself I still hadn't decided about the gala, even as I found myself standi
TOO LATE TO WANT ME MARA WON
Chapter 80 SKYLAR POV The smile faded before it could fully form. I still had weeks to wait before any of that mattered. Court dates moved slowly, and drunk drivers with decent lawyers knew how to stretch a single hearing into three. I pushed the papers on my desk into a neat stack and told myself I would think about Mara's case tomorrow, and Rory's silence some other day, and the gala invitation sitting unanswered in my inbox whenever I found the energy to care about seating charts. Tomorrow came slower than I expected. Then it came anyway. Four weeks later, my phone rang while I was standing in the middle of the design floor, arguing with a fabric supplier about a shipment that had somehow lost color halfway across the ocean. I almost didn't answer. Then I saw the name. "Give me a second," I told the supplier, and stepped into the hallway. "Mara?" "We won." Two words. That was all she said at first, and something about the flatness of her voice worried me until I he
TOO LATE TO WANT ME STOP APOLOGIZING
Chapter 9Skylar's POV"You don't have to do anything you don't want to. But think about it. If it becomes public that you're in a relationship with a powerful man, who would dare cross you?""I'm a married…" I paused. Something flickered across his face, brief and quickly buried. I recognised it a
TOO LATE TO WANT ME I JUST WANT TO FEED YOU
Chapter 6Skylar's POV"Don't think too much." He smiled. "I just want to feed you."I exhaled slowly. Why had I immediately assumed he wanted to kiss me again? As if I even wanted him to."Why would you do that? I can feed myself.""You see, that's the thing about you." He set the spoon down brief
TOO LATE TO WANT ME ARE YOU ALRIGHT?
Chapter 2Skylar's POVI threw my phone on the bed.My pulse quickened and tears prickled the corners of my eyes. I pressed my fingers against my mouth to keep the sound in. Was that why he barely stayed at home? All this while, I had been making excuses for him, telling myself he was stressed, th
TOO LATE TO WANT ME WAS I SEEING THIS CLEARLY?
Chapter 1Skylar's POVThis was the tenth time I called him. He still wasn't picking up.I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my phone screen until his name blurred. There was not a single word from him.He had not been home for two days. Anytime I brought it up, he always said the same thing.
