“I wish you could see what this is doing to me.” His voice came across out of breath.

She had a feeling, and it only urged her on more. Her hands became more rough on herself as she squeezed her breast then pinched her nipple. Her hand between her legs dipped under the panties to press inside of herself.

“Fuck.” He groaned.

Closer and closer.

“Arch.” She gasped, barely able to stand upright.

Then she felt him. Strong arms holding her up. One of his hands dipped between her legs and she moved her hand on instinct.

“Keep going.” He ordered, then gently bit down on her lobe as he grabbed her hand and used both of their fingers to press back into her.

Two of her fingers would be enough. Adding two of his fingers did something else entirely. She was pretty sure her soul left her body as his thumb brushed against her clit and he curved their fingers.

CHAPTER26

ARCHIE

Archie had been stalking Tabitha’s social media profiles for years. He wasn’t simply following her and noticing when things came across his feed. He actively pulled up her profiles to see what she was doing. To see if anything was new in her life. To keep up with what she looked like, as if he could ever forget.

He would never admit to the number of times he got off to an image of her. He’d nearly been caught multiple times during previous failed relationships. Most of the images weren’t overly sexual, it was just because it was her. It didn’t matter what she wore, how she did her makeup, or if she was wearing a wig. It was always about her.

When he walked in last night, every previous thought disappeared. He was supposed to do something or get something, but he couldn’t remember what he came into the room for. All he could focus on was Tabitha.

It was different being around her now. He knew what her body felt like under his. He knew what she tasted like and the sounds she made when she let go. But this was like seeing a different person.

He couldn’t help but watch for a minute before speaking up. At first, he was afraid the show was over. That’s exactly what it was, an act. The more he watched, the more he wanted to see. Then he saw the expression on her face change. She was back in the zone and wanted him to watch.

It was the hottest fucking thing he’d ever seen.

It also made him nervous. A feeling he’d never associated with Tabitha before. She’d always been easy to talk with and be with because she was his best friend. The crush started when they were younger, but it was a secret.

As he continued to get to know her now, he realized just how out of his league she was. She didn’tget it. Her heart was too big, and she cared too deeply. It was easy to see how easy it was for people to take advantage of that. It was also intimidating. What if she realized he wasn’t good enough? What if she wanted out, and he had his heart broken?

His brows pushed together as he pushed the pole back up on the rack. He sat up on the bench and glanced around the small basement gym in the clubhouse. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to work off the nerves that had taken over since his interaction with Tabitha the day before.

He had to keep moving today. Pushing himself and exerting more energy than he should. She was getting to him and there was nothing else he could think about.

Her perfect smile.

Her perfect body.

Her perfect-ness.

He groaned as he stood up and moved to the bag hanging in the corner to lay into it. As if he could punch away these feelings. He wanted to be with her, but he feared she would realize the truth. He wasn’t enough.

Everything about her was perfect, even if she didn’t see it that way. It didn’t help that her ex was still out there living his life and they hadn’t been able to find out what his next move would be. Guys like him didn’t give up so easily; he was clearly biding his time. The question remained, what would he try next?

“There you are!” Tabitha smiled as she bounced down the stairs. Her hair in a high ponytail swishing back and forth as she approached him. “I just got done with a video call for a brand that is sponsoring a weekend of collabs.” She smiled. “I haven’t done one in a while and it’ll be so much fun.”

“What?”

“They’re going to bring a dozen influencers together to create content showing off their new stuff. It’s always fun and there are going to be some people that I’ve been wanting to work with that I haven’t had the chance to yet. This is huge!”

“Tabitha, if this is going to be as huge as you say it is. It’s not a good idea.”

“It’s not an event open to the public, and I already told my agent we can add more security with the guys you work with or whatever. The brand will pay for the extra security.”
