Wild Crows - 3. Confession (English Version)

Book excerpt: The worst feeling in the world is missing someone. You just feel empty. As summer passes in Monty Valley, Joe tries to move on, despite this aching emptiness following her everywhere. Now working in San Francisco, she does her best to go back to a somewhat normal life, partly helped by her friend and colleague, Adam. But an unexpected return will turn her quiet, everyday life around. Torn between rancor and her need to find the truth, Joe will have to face feelings she has been pushing away. Rather than an apology, she wants an explanation and firmly intends on making darling Trevor Laurens pay for all the pain his running away caused her. While the club must take care of the Russian gang, Jerry finds out he has his own battle to fight; a race against passing time. What if the day to decide about the Club’s future has arrived? As far as he is concerned, Ash will have to make a decision that could just turn his life upside down and jeopardize the Wild Crows’ internal dynamics. _______ Now enjoy the romantic suspense bikers serie that took France by storm! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ EXCERPT “She said you’ve changed…” I said hesitantly. “Do you… Do you still “see” her?” I had chosen that word because it hurt my feelings to talk about sex when he and that damned sweetie were mentioned in the same sentence. Ash kept silent and looked away. Realizing I might have spoilt the moment, my heart sank. I was sure he would walk away…again. “Ash…” “No,” he said between his teeth. “No…” “We don’t “see” each other anymore,” he finally admitted. “Well...” I was speechless, but my heart was beating fast. I felt a sudden wave of happiness rise up through my body, which gave me the courage to appease my curiosity. “Is it because of me?” That question was burning my lips. The need to know the truth was tearing me up inside, and each second before he spoke felt like an eternity. “Ash,” I whispered as I put a hand on his knee. “Maybe,” he admitted reluctantly. His confession filled my heart with joy, and I could hardly breathe. “Stay with me tonight,” I whispered. My words sounded like a prayer, and I felt tears building in my eyes. I was lost, sick of that emotional roller-coaster I was going through, and what for? I needed to put an end to it. I could sense he would turn me down, but his quivering lip gave me hope for an instant. He frowned while his hand touched mine. The contact of his warm hand didn’t soften the blow. “No, Joe. It wouldn’t be right.” My heart sank. “Since when do you do the right thing, Trevor Laurens?” He looked at me silently. I wanted so badly to be in his arms; I could almost feel them around me. “Since I’ve decided not to hurt you anymore.” I was speechless! A few seconds before, my hopes were up, but that fleeting moment of pure happiness was about to vanish into the air. “Ash…” I whispered again. He had already reached my bedroom door, so he turned around and faced me. “For all that’s worth, I missed you too, mini-doc.” He smiled at me softly, which tore my heart apart. Tears stung my eyes as I watched him walk through the door. A few seconds later, I heard the front door, and I let them run down my cheeks. Ash had turned my life upside down one more time. That night, I dreamt of a vessel floating on the ocean."
