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

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

Vanessa:I paced my hotel room wondering if it was a good idea to go see my parents now.I was low on cash now especially since my father had caught off my credit card because I had refused to come home and getting a job was much harder than I thought.I picked up my phone from the hotel room bed and checked the message my father had sent me last night at Becca and Kimberly’s party and read the bold letters in my head.‘I’ve cut off your credit cards since you are choosing to be stubborn'Why on earth would he do that? I only had till the end of the month in the hotel until my reservation expired and that was in a week. I had barely a week to figure out what I was going to do or I’d be homeless.I let out a chuckle that felt more like a cry for help.I couldn’t believe I had been stupid enough to believe my father and mother wouldn’t find me. I had even tried getting a hotel that was small and unknown and barely with a star rating but they’d managed to find me again. Of course they d

Ethan:Who was that kid at the restaurant?" Crystal asked as I drove her home.I glanced at her, wondering whether or not to tell her the truth or just ignore her question altogether."What kid?""Um, the kid that was glaring at you as we left the restaurant.""Oh? Didn't notice that…" I feigned ignorance.It would be too hard to explain things to her now and I wasn't interested in doing any of that."I see.” she dropped the issue, thankfully."So, you still haven't given me an answer,"Crystal said after a stretch of silence."Yeah, I know that. I will have to think about it.""Okay, that's fair. I'm guessing we aren't having sex tonight then." She phrased it as a sentence.I honestly wanted to have sex with her. She was a beautiful woman with a proper curve and just my type and would be the perfect rebound from Kimberly.I gripped my steering wheel as my train of thought moved to her. I couldn't believe how easily she'd moved on from me. I had wanted to go up to her and say somethi

Kimberly:I couldn't contain my excitement as we pulled up to the secluded cabin in the middle of the lush forest. "This place is gorgeous!" I exclaimed, taking in the breathtaking scenery. Towering pines surrounded a sprawling wooden structure that looked like it belonged in a fairytale.Mary chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement at my obvious awe. "I know. My dad owns a construction company and loves building extravagant places like this. It even has a swimming pool since I know how much you love them." He gave me a sly wink as he opened the trunk to retrieve our luggage.I bit my lip, sneaking an appreciative glance at the rippling muscles in his arms and broad shoulders as he lifted our bags. We had been dating for a few months, but the physical aspect remained a tempting unknown that I was increasingly eager to explore with this thoughtful, charismatic man."Come on," Mary called, leading the way inside. If the exterior was striking, the interior was downright magnificent.
