Chapter 17
Pierce instantly regretted inviting Arianna into his bed. He didn’t know if it was the amazing oral he delivered or if this was the norm for her.
This girl can snore.
Pierce knew he would eventually find a flaw in her “little miss perfect” act, but he hadn’t suspected this in his wildest imagination, Arianna snored like a freight train, and if this weren’t a one–off, then she would have her own designated room when she spent the night. Pierce wanted a nap, too; unfortunately, Arianna wouldn’t allow that to happen.
Pierce rolled to his side, supported his head with an elbow, and watched Arianna while she slept. Her little naked body was swaddled in his Egyptian Cotton sheets, and he was tempted to sneak a peek. She was the first person besides Pierce to be in this bed. When they divorced, he had given Stella all the furniture in the house because he didn’t want it. He didn’t want to continue to sleep in the same bed that he shared with a cheater, and if Pierce
didn’t love his house so damn much, he would’ve put it on the market.
Pierce gently rolled Arianna onto her stomach, and to his utter amazement, the snoring ceased. After having just one delicious taste of her, Pierce could admit he was officially addicted to Arianna Rose Carter. He wasted no time carting her upstairs and pleasured her twice more with his mouth and fingers. Naturally, Arianna wanted to return the favor, but Pierce insisted that he was only concerned with her pleasure. Pierce wanted to be her first everything,
but there was no rush.
Pierce eyed his watch and found that it was barely 10:00 in the morning, and now that Arianna was no longer snoring like a banshee, he would take that nap. Arianna was so small that it didn’t take anything to pick her up and put her on his chest.
Arianna woke a couple of hours later and felt like she had slept for days. She had never experienced a sleep that deep before and had Pierce to thank. Of course, Arianna didn’t have anybody to compare Pierce to, but if someone told her that they could do better, she would have difficulty believing them. It was terrific, and Arianna didn’t think it could get any better than that. The best part of her experience was how he took his time. He was so meticulous, and she loved how he lazily slurped her juices and sucked on her lips, releasing them with a popping sound.
Arianna shivered, recalling how Pierce worked her cat. She was eager to return the favor, but he turned her down, and she wondered if her lack of experience turned him off.
“I have to tell you something,” Pierce said from underneath her.
“What’s up?”
“Don’t be embarrassed, but you fart in your sleep.”
“What?!” Arianna shrilled.
Tears started forming in her eyes from the tremendous embarrassment she felt.
“Are you crying?” Pierce asked in concern. “I was just messing with you. You don’t fart in your sleep, but you do snore, like really bad.”
Arianna sniffed a couple of times and allowed Pierce to wipe away her tears. “Sorry I didn’t give you a heads up. Jesse told me that I snore pretty badly. His exact words were, “You snore like ten grown men,” she recalled.
“One, you might want to see someone about that. Two, how close are you and Jesse? Is he going to be a problem?”
Arianna sighed loudly and buried her face into Pierce’s chest, a little peeved that he wasn’t shirtless. She wanted to feel his warm skin on her face inhale his masculine scent.
“Jesse and I are going through a tough period I think he feels threatened by you. Typically, when we have our best friend’s date night, he’ll spend the night, but I made it clear to him that I wouldn’t date him the night before, and he was a little butt hurt. He wanted to come over again last night and spend the night, but I told him he couldn’t spend the night at my place any longer because we were getting acquainted, and I didn’t feel that it was appropriate any longer.”
“Let
me
guess, he didn’t take that so well.”

“No, he didn’t. I’m just going to give him some space, and if he cuts me the first place,” Arianna huffed.
“Right. Are you ready to eat?”
“What time is it?”
“Pushing 1:00 PM.”
off because I won’t let him sleep in my bed anymore, then he was never a friend in
“I’ll probably want to eat in an hour or so. We can consider it an early dinner. What are you in the mood for?”
“Honestly? Pizza. I haven’t had pizza in a long time. How does that sound?” Pierce asked.
“Same. I’m pretty basic. Pepperoni for me will be fine.”
“Pepperoni, it is. Did you want to go swimming in the meantime?”
“Sure, I’ll get dressed in my swimsuit and meet you out back.”
“Great.” He stole a few kisses from her before letting her out of bed. He groaned lowly and watched her walk out of the bedroom as naked as the day she was born. Pierce was shocked at how comfortable Arianna was around him. She was a little shy at first, but it was clear she didn’t mind being naked
around him.
Pierce ordered the pizza and rifled through his dresser to find swimming trunks. He hadn’t swum in several months due to his depression. At times, he wanted to, but he settled instead on blankly staring at the pool for hours on end.
He finally found his swimming trunks ten minutes later and changed. He heard the doorbell ring, and his initial instinct told him that the pizza place had speedy delivery, but then he realized that he had only placed the order about 15 minutes ago.
He jogged downstairs and peeked in the backyard to see Arianna in her pink bikini, dipping into the pool. He almost said fuck whoever was at the door, but by the way the person was ringing the doorbell, you would’ve thought it was an emergency.
“Alright. I’m coming. I’m coming. Chill,” Pierce called out as he approached the front door. He looked through the peephole and rolled his eyes.
“Stella…what do you want?”
“Whose car is that parked in the driveway?” Stella asked, staring at Pierce’s shirtless physique.
“None of your concern. What do you want?”
Stella scanned Pierce’s lack of attire and knew that his deflection meant a woman was in the house.
“I just came to apologize for my behavior at the club.”
“You wasted your gas money to come and lie to my face. You don’t apologize for anything, Stella.”
“Maybe I’m trying to turn a new leaf.”
“From your behavior yesterday at the club, I highly doubt it. Was that all you wanted? I have a guest to entertain, and leaving them for an extended period would be rude.”
“Right. I did want to come and tell you in person that I will become a member of Elite SA, despite what that little bitch said.”
“Leave,” Pierce growled.
“Excuse me?” she gasped.
Stella was shocked by Pierce’s tone. He had never spoken to her in such a manner. Typically, he would ignore her and allow her to run all over him, but it was clear that something had drastically changed about Pierce in the past three months.

Chapter 17
Did Pierce finally grow a backbone after all these years? If so, was it because of a new woman in het la?
*Last time I checked, you know how to speak English, so i know you understood clearly, but just in case you didn’t, get the fuck off my property
Pierce didn’t wait for Stella to make a move and slammed the door in her face and locked it behind him. The first thing he did when Stetta moved out we change the locks because he knew she was so self–entitled that one day he would come home from the store and find her sitting on the couch watching TV and sipping a glass of wine as if she lived there, just to screw with him.
