Kimberly:I couldn't believe I had kissed him and let him touch me. How could I have been so stupid?I pondered as I paced my bedroom twenty minutes after the incident with Ethan.I was trying to wrap my head around the fact that I was still attracted to him knowing what I knew.If that knock had not come, I didn't think I'd have had it in me to stop him. I didn't think I'd have wanted to at all which made the situation ten times worse. Was I just some kind of whore for him?I thought by now that I'd hate him to the extent that I'd hate his touch too but not. It seemed my hatred was more of a catalyst for my lust for him.I had to be stupid or something, that had to be it.What the fuck was wrong with me? Why was I unable to do anything against his advances?How was it that after all of the things that I had discovered about him, I was still desperate for his touch?Even now, I still couldn't help but want him."Hey, Kim. I didn't hear you come in!" Becca barged into my room, startlin
Ethan's pov.As I drove down to the hideout, all I could think about was Kimberly and how she'd slipped through my fingers once again. I wanted to be mad at Tony and Axel but I couldn't be. It wasn't their fault, they were merely doing their job. A good one, I might add."Boss, he's in here," Tony gestured for me to follow him to the back room as soon as I got out of the car.I followed him in and found a man I didn't recognize gagged and blindfolded, sitting on the bare floor. The way he was dressed told me that he maybe had a white-collar job and he looked a little young. Maybe early twenties."Gotten anything from him?" I asked no one in particular as three of my men were present in the room."Only that he works for a magazine company," Axel was the one to speak."Which?" I asked, out of curiosity."THE GOSSIP CENTER," Tony answered.I rolled my eyes at the ridiculous-sounding name but also couldn't help but wonder how they had been able to find where I lived.Something didn't qui
Kimberly:The sound of music coming from the house was getting me hyped. I had gone to pick Vanessa up from her hotel room. She still hadn't spoken to her parents and even though I wanted to lecture her, I wasn't any better..I was still avoiding Ethan, so who was I to speak to?"I really can't thank you enough for picking me up. I honestly didn't feel like driving," Nessa said as she came down the passenger side of the car.She was wearing a black shirt a cute black crop top and sneakers with her hair down."You are welcome, just know you kind of owe me for this one," I said, closing the door behind me."Yeah, yeah." Nessa rolled her eyes and I led her to the party."Where the hell have you been?!" Becca yelled above the music as soon as she saw me enter through the front door.She was all dressed up in a body cob gown."Went to pick Nessa up," I said almost at the same time as Vanessa came up behind me."Hi," she waved at Becca."Hey, you are here," Becca said without a smile."Yeah,
Kimberly:Mary and I were laughing as we sat on the lounge chair in the pool area. We were surprisingly the only ones there. We could still hear gh music coming from the house but not so loud that we couldn't hear each other."I can't believe she'd do that," Mary replied, his deep baritone voice sending sweet shockwaves down my spine. Everything about him was a bit too perfect. I knew it was stupid or wishful thinking but I wouldn't mind him being my boyfriend.It was hight time I detached from Ethan all together anyway.If I was going to figure out the truth. I needed a fresh start. And uncle Greyson seem to provide that start. It had been only a week since I moved out from Ethan's place and ever since, I've had just a bit of clarity. I was being controlled likeq anyone trying to pry in my private life. I could get used to this."That's Vanessa," I shrugged.I had just been telling him about something that had happened between me and Vanessa. We quieted for a while, both of us watch
Kimberly:Mary kissed me back with as much urgency as I kissed him. His lips were soft on lips but firm and commanding as they tangled with mine. The taste of alcohol on his tongue made his body more eager. He carried me so straddling him in the water and felt his erection. My breast felt heavy with need and my nipples hardened as his hands caressed them gently. He was so hot that I found it hard that he wanted me.My clit had begun to throb with need as he began to suck on my lips."You are so hot," Mary's baritone voice sebr shockwaves down my spine and I moaned in return."I want you," I said to him and he smiled wide at my statement and deepened the kiss.We were still locked lips when we heard laughter and footsteps running towards us. We let go of each other and I watched as a bunch of girls and guys came running towards the pool, taking their clothes off as they went. They all dived into the pool and I swear if I had a gun, I'd have shot them.Mary pulled me close and pecked m
Chapter 81Kimberly's pov."Oh, did I come at the wrong time?" Mary asked as his eyes feasted on my body. He looked about ready to jump my bones and I wasn't sure I'd stop him if he wanted to."Um, yeah. I was kind of bathing." I said, gesturing at my towel-clad body."Oh… I'll come back another time then," he said in a way that made me feel like he wanted me to stop him and truth be told I wasn't mad that he had come here.I was about to tell him that it was fine that he could stay when my phone rang.I glanced over at my phone on the bed and then at him and then gave a sheepish smile, "um, I need to get that but I'll come find you later," I said to him already regretting my words as they flew out of my mouth."Sure," he smiled. His gaze lingered a bit on my thighs and I swear his eyes darkened in that moment before he cleared his throat and walked off. I closed the door behind him and quickly ran to get my phone. It was Ethan calling.I stared down at his new my thumb hovering ove
Ethan:"Alright, keep me posted," I said to John and hung up.I was supposed to meet with Kimberly today to sign the paperwork to transfer everything to her name. I only hoped she was smart enough to not do anything stupid.I sent a quick text message to Crystal to inform her that we were still on for dinner. She replied with a winking emoji and I smiled before putting my phone away.I poured myself a small drink and drank as I waited for the disaster that was about to happen.After twenty minutes of pacing my living room trying to come up with a good way to convince Kimberly not to do this, my lawyer arrived and after ten minutes of my lawyer's arrival, Kimberly drove in with her lawyer.I watched from the front door as she climbed out of her car with her lawyer and began to walk towards me. She was dressed in business casual attire which made me laugh internally. She meant business, it seems.Our eyes locked for a split second and my breath caught at how different she was now.She h
Kimberly:I laughed at Mary's ridiculous joke as he led me into the restaurant. He was so funny and witty. It was easy being around him. It almost felt like I could be a teenager around him.After I had left Ethan's place angrily hours ago I had wanted to celebrate but since Becca wasn't home and Vanessa was currently busy, I had called up Mary and he'd asked me to go out with him to celebrate cutting off ties with Ethan. Well, he didn't know what I was celebrating just that I wanted to celebrate something.I had agreed to go out with him instantly, After all, I liked him. He was handsome with gorgeous eyes and he was my age mate.I wanted to start over after finally getting my company from Ethan and cutting all ties with him, so he took me to a restaurant."You look beautiful by the way," Mary complimented as he pulled out my chair for me to sit.We were in one of the most expensive restaurants in town. I hadn't expected him to bring me a gift, especially on a first date but I wasn't
