So much of her life had been built on wishes and dreams. Some of them had come to fruition. Most had not.

Mr. Phelps made a few notations on his pad, then let her go. “That should be fine. Now your turn.” He shifted to Nick. “If you don’t mind.”

“Anything for the happy couple.” His thin smile never wavered as he extended his hand and shot her a steady, measuring look.

She fought to drag her gaze from his, but it was like being caught in a force field. She’d never had that power turned on her in just that way before. Her breath backed up in her chest, and the fingers clutching her purse trembled as if he’d touched her with more than his eyes.

Somehow she ripped her gaze from his just as Mr. Phelps slid that thick gold band on his finger. And it was a perfect fit.

Perfect.

The laughter bubbled up in her throat, and both men stared at her as she struggled to swallow it down. Especially since at the edges of that near-hysterical laughter lurked tears.

She never cried. Never. She had no reason to here. She was happy for Jazz and Gray, and miserable for herself, but one had nothing to do with the other.

“Well then, look at that,” Mr. Phelps said quietly, noting something on his pad while Nick flexed his hand. “Excellent hand choice, Ms. Shawcross. Could not be more exact.”

Did he sound amused or was that her imagination?

“You meanMrs.Shawcross,” Nick said, offering her a bland smile.

Deliberately, she tugged out her phone and sent Gray a text. She’d be damned if she got into some kind of pissing contest with Nick, especially when she wasn’t even sure why.

Wouldn’t allow herself to acknowledge why.

Gray responded almost immediately.Thank you so much, you’re a lifesaver. Cya soon.

She smiled faintly and glanced up to find Nick still watching her, his gaze narrowed until only the thinnest slits of tawny gold remained visible. Just like that, her smile faded.

She was so glad she’d been able to help Gray and Jazz on their special day. She cared deeply about them both, and they were so in love. They deserved nothing but the best.

But she had to wonder. When the day came, who was going to saveherlife?

A FUSED BONUS EPLIOGUE

We added a bonus epilogue to Fused. We thought the story needed just a little bit more. So, if you haven’t readFused, Lost in Oblivion Book 9 there may be a few spoilers in here.

August

Lyingon his back beneath his woman was basically his favorite place in the universe. Especially when she was riding him slow, her eyes heavy-lidded, her lips parted and plump from where she’d had them last. And what she’d done with them, so thoroughly that he’d barely held on long enough to get inside her.

Without a condom for the first time no less. Hallelujah.

How had he lived without experiencing this before? He could feel every ripple, every clench of her walls, every damn drop of her excitement on his skin. His balls were harder than they’d ever been, and so full he even feared thrusting would send him over the edge. But he had to get deeper.

So much deeper.

Her tits bounced with every movement and her blond hair slipped over her shoulders to tease her already blush-pink nipples. He ran his hand up her belly, higher to twist the tight tips, reveling in the sigh that tumbled from her cock-swollen lips. He was the one who’d done that to her, who’d given her mouth that used look.

Because Lila Ronson—formerly Shawcross—was all his.

He brought his knees up, flexing his pelvis until she gasped and fell forward onto his chest. With one hand cupping her breast and his lips a hairbreadth from hers, he changed the angle of his thrusts again, just to see the blue of her eyes flare brighter for an instant before they shuttered. Her body turned liquid and boneless, her release saturating his dick. Soaking him in her so that he had no choice but to follow, exploding deep inside her giving pussy bare for the first time.
