Mira“Peach?”I wipe away the tears and look back at Wyatt when he pokes his head through my door. “Yeah?” I answer, my voice wavering while I look down at the white gold bracelet between my fingers. I’ve been sitting in front of my bed with a box of old memories since I got back from the office.“Get in there.” I hear Lexi’s voice utter, and she pushes Wyatt into my room and follows him in. Wyatt comes over and sits on the floor beside me, and Lexi crawls up on my bed behind me, looking down at the mess in front of me.“Are you okay?” Wyatt questions, picking up an old photo of Devin and me. I shake my head slowly, tears that know no end stream down my cheeks.“Not really.”“What's going on?” Lexi asks, brushing her fingers through my hair comfortingly. “Did something happen?”I brush away tears with my fingers and sigh, “Devin and I had a fight.”Wyatt sighs and drops the picture, and looks over at me. “Figures. What did

“Peach, have you considered talking to Devin about why he left without a word?” Wyatt questions curiously, and I shrug my shoulders in response.“I have considered it so many times, but truthfully I’m terrified of what he will say. I’m scared that all the pressumptions I made over the years to convince myself of his reasons for leaving will be true. That I was nothing but a glorified fantasy, just a hole to screw so that he could brag that he had me.”“Mira, you won’t ever know unless you ask, though, babe. Surely knowing is better than you building it up in your mind, convincing yourself that you were never enough. Maybe he had his reasons for leaving.”I shake my head, “There’s not a reason in the world that would justify his actions, Lex. He could have called me but never did. He didn’t care and what he said to me today proved it. If he felt an ounce of remorse for what he said to me today, he would have found a way to apologise; he would have text me or called.” I hold up my phone

“Hop on,” Levi says, holding his hand out to me while I climb up behind him. He takes my hands and wraps them around him. “Hold on tight.”“Oh, I will.” Levi laughs, and my heart leaps when the motorbike roars to life, and I feel the vibrations between my legs when he revs the engine. Oh boy.As promised, we went slow until I got used to it, and then he gradually sped up, and before I knew it, we were soaring down the empty roads. I was terrified to my very core, but at the same time, it so exhilarating, and he was right about me wanting him to go faster.“You okay back there, babe?” I hear him call out and nod in response. I can’t hear, but I feel the vibrations of his low chuckle against my chest where I’m leant against him. “Not complaining, but you think you can loosen your arms a little bit so I can breathe?”I laugh, loosening my arms and feel him suck in a deep breath. I close my eyes and, just as I was getting into the bike, he pulls over. I open my eyes and look around. “Wher

DevinI lay in bed, unable to sleep. My mind just wouldn’t shut off. The wheels just kept turning and turning. It’s been three days, no word from Levi or Mira. Levi hasn’t come home, and Mira hasn’t been to work. When I asked, Uncle Noah said she’s taken a few days off to ‘recharge’. No doubt our argument the other day caused this sudden recharge requirement. I called and text Levi, but his phone is out of service.Where the fuck are they? They’re obviously together. Shacked up someplace humping like two wild bunnies. I look over at Megan, asleep beside me. I push the covers off and get out of bed quietly to not wake her. I grab my phone and walk out of the bedroom. I fire up Instagram, and the first thing that pops up is a post by Levi. It’s a selfie of him on his Ducati with Mira sitting behind him, smiling toothily, her hands holding his shoulders. I read the caption, and my heart sinks, ‘The sun rises better with you’.I almost

The rest of the day, Mira avoided me like I was the damn plague. I saw her around the office twice. While I was conversing with one of our editors, I saw a bouquet of flowers—two dozen red roses—being delivered to her office. I watch her from a distance, through the glass. Mira takes the roses and reads the card as she walks to her desk. Her lips curl into a smile, and she shakes her head.Levi is doing what Levi does best. However, he doesn’t realise that Mira isn’t like every other girl he’s used to wooing. He doesn’t know that Mira doesn’t like roses. Her favourite flowers are blue orchids. She favours sweets over chocolate any day…Haribo, to be precise. When it comes to having the upper hand, I’ll always win because I know Mira better than I know myself.“Mark,” I call for my assistant, and he comes running over to me. “I need you to do something for me…” I place my hand on his shoulder as we walk and give him precise instructions on what I need him to do for me. “You got all of t

DevinFour days.That’s how long it’s been since I’ve seen Mira properly. As much as I love Megan, I honestly cannot wait for her to go back home. I’m fucking exhausted. Her visit was only supposed to last a week, but now she’s moved things around to stay three more days. I’m due to fly to Italy for the conference with Mira in six days. That’s the only thing that’s keeping me sane right now. Two days alone with Mira. I’ve missed spending time with her, and after the emotional talk we had, I’ve been bursting to see her. The way she was crying damn near wrecked me. I don’t want to be the reason she sheds a tear.Levi is spending less and less time here. I can only assume he’s with her or hauled up with his idiot friends.Speaking of friends, I need to see Logan. I met up with him briefly after I came back, but it’s been one thing after another since then. So much has happened in a month. I feel like I’ve been back a year already.

Mira and I glare at Levi, who winces. I know for a fact, that Mira just delivered a swift kick to his shin. “Yes! I’ll make reservations immediately.” She jumps up to her feet, kisses me, and walks off with her phone.“Levi, what the hell?” I grit irately.He shrugs indifferently. “What? What's the big deal? It’s just one dinner, brother.” He turns his attention to Mira, who has sunk back into her chair, deflated. Levi drops a kiss on her temple. “I’m going to shower real quick, and then I’ll take you home, okay?” Mira nods wordlessly.The moment Levi leaves the room, she looks at me. “Can you get us out of this?”I shake my head. “No, she’s like a dog with a bone. I’ve been vague about you over the years, and it's not helped her curiosity. It’s better to get it over with. When Megan sets her mind to something, she won’t stop till she gets it.”Mira sighs, “Great. Exactly how I want to spend my Saturday night—being interrogated. Should I expect the Spanish inquisition?”I rub my foreh
Cuffed By Love Chapter 63
MiraWhy, oh why, did I agree to come to this dinner date? Seriously, what the hell was I thinking? As if meeting Devin’s girlfriend wasn’t bad enough. I’m sitting here bearing witness to them slobbering all over each other. Devin’s deliberately provoking me, and like the fool I am, I’m taking the bait. I’m not playing these stupid games with him. What’s the point? Yes, maybe we’re succeeding in making each other jealous, but then what? Is he going to leave his girlfriend and business partner of five years and be with me? I don’t think so. I can’t explain what this magnetic pull is between us. I like Levi, and I’m having such a great time with him, and despite what Devin seems to believe, we’ve not actually slept together… yet.After what happened between us at my place, we’ve not really had the opportunity to go further. When he convinced me last night to sleepover at the penthouse, I was apprehensive about Devin’s reaction, b
