Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 220

The kind and sweet Miles I believed I was marrying seemed to have been drifting away before my own eyes. I think I have made a mistake. One I don’t know how to get out of. I felt tears filling my eyes, as I thought about the mess I found myself in. I had focused so much on the things I would gain by being with him, not realizing the things I was risking, the things I would lose. And now, here I was, falling apart, facing a life with a man who saw me as nothing more than a trophy wife.

Jacob pushed my dress up along my leg, caressing my thigh as he did, lifting me up against the wall, as I hooked my legs around his waist, while our kisses deepened, a moan escaping my lips…

When, suddenly, a deep growl came from the end of the corridor. “Care to explain what the fuck is going on?!”
