STORY EXCERPT
Frankie
My mind is a tornado of thoughts as I drive down the road.
I stand on Ivy’s doorstep and raise my arm to knock as the door flies open. Ivy wraps her arms around my waist, but I move her small body away from mine.
“This is over.”
“What’s over, Frankie?” Ivy narrows her pretty eyes, and I want to take her in my arms, but I fight the urge with everything in me.
“Us. It’s never going to work. I’m sorry.”
I spin on my heels, jog down the walkway, and hop in my truck without a look back.
I pull away, leaving my heart shattered on the front porch.

Months later...
She walks across the gym in her tight as sin skirt and knee-high boots. Her perfect cleavage is peeking out of her V-cut top as my shorts grow tighter by the second. Ivy looks over her shoulder and winks as she makes her way to my sister’s office.
“I’ll be right back. Jabs…work on your jabs.”
“Ivy, wait up,” I call after her and she slows her steps.
“What do you want, Frankie.” She leans her back against the hallway wall.
“How are you liking the job?”
“What is this, small talk?” Ivy crosses her arms over her chest, enhancing her breasts and I pull a breath through my gritted teeth.
My hand reaches out and tangles in a lock of her quickly growing hair as her eyes fall closed. I step close enough to feel her breath fan across my sweaty skin and it tingles.
“What are you doing, Frankie?”
“I don’t know.” I lean my forehead against hers and she shoves me away.
“You broke up with me, quite abruptly, remember? That means you no longer have the right or the privilege to touch me in any way.”
I move back, feeling as though I’ve been shot through the heart.
“I see. Well…you sure didn’t hesitate to hand that privilege off to my brother, did you?” I snarl.
“What the hell kind of shit are you talking now, Frankie?”
“You think I don’t know about you and my brother Crew?”
“What exactly do you believe you know about Crew and me, please enlighten me because I don’t have a clue what you’re alluding to?” I snort out loud.
“I know you two have been screwing around.”
Ivy shoots daggers at me.
“And to think, I thought you knew me better than anyone, but you clearly don’t know me at all if that’s what you truly believe, and I clearly don’t know you like I believed I did. God, I’m such an idiot for ever falling for someone like you.”
Tears fall freely from Ivy’s beautiful eyes, and I reach out to wipe them away but she dodges my touch.
“Don’t cry, baby.”
“Don’t call me baby, you lost that privilege as well.” Ivy sniffles and swipes her tears away.
“You know this is my family’s business and I’m here all the time. Why did you take this job if you hate me so much?”
ADULT EXCERPT
Ivy
“Yeah, really. Now that we have the details all sorted, maybe you could give me a goodnight kiss.” I wet my lips, and his eyes fall on them.
Frankie dips his head and softly kisses me, before teasing my lips apart. His tongue swirls hotly around mine and my body is instantly consumed by the flames. My hands curl in his dark hair as he pushes my body against the siding of the house so that we are hidden in the dark. His hard cock pokes me in the belly and I moan into his mouth.
“Fuck…I’m sorry…fuck.” Frankie breaks our kiss and backs away. “It’s not an excuse for behaving like this, but kissing you makes me crazy. Everything about you makes me crazy. I’ve been disrespectful and I do apologize.” Frankie’s husky voice and panting breaths cause my pussy to tingle.
“You’ve been nothing but respectful. Frankie, you’re making me just as crazy,” I take his hand and guide it up my dress as his breaths come so heavy now that I’m worried he might hyperventilate. “My panties are drenched…can you feel that.” His thick finger runs along my slit and I moan at the scorching contact.
“Holy…fuck.” Frankie claims my lips with authority.
“Touch me, please, Frankie, I’m aching so bad, I need you to touch me.” Frankie slips a long finger inside my panties and glides it inside my soaking wet cunt.
He kisses me like I’ve never been kissed before as his stroking fingers match that of his tongue. I moan into his mouth as I hold on to his muscular shoulders. My right hand slides between us and palms his cock, but he grips my wrist.
“Just feel,” he whispers in my ear. “Feel my finger sliding in and out of your hot pussy, feel my thumb stroking your swollen clit.” I moan again as my body becomes tinder from his words. “Feel my touch.”
Frankie slides a second finger inside and twists them about expertly. “Is two okay? Can I fuck you with two fingers?”
“Oh...God…yes.”
