Authors note
This part was a bit of a struggle to write. I loved every moment of it, but I had to go over multiple parts and re-write a bunch until I was happy with it. I'm still not 100% happy with everything. But I guess I never will be.
I hope you guys enjoy this one. I've started on Lust at first sight part 3 already. That's a longer part so it takes time. I won't give deadlines or expected release dates since I never keep to them.
Remember to rate, comment and follow. I love reading your comments and getting your emails.
Stay safe. Peace out.

Chapter 46
The woman who sat across from me was a familiar sight, yet she was also strange for me to gaze upon. Her red hair, green eyes--framed by glasses--and cute freckles that dusted her nose and cheeks was once a welcome and loving sight. But now it felt like I was looking at a stranger. It hadn't been a great deal of time since I'd seen her last, but it felt like a lifetime since I was the man who'd fled Melbourne in the wake of our breakup.
Madison and I sat at the dining table in my parents' apartment. Just the two of us. Hayley,
Tori and my mother had excused themselves almost as soon as I'd come home. I could tell Hayley and Tori had wanted to stick around--probably to chew Madison out--but my mother had insisted they go out for a spot of shopping. Now I sat here, alone, with Madison.
"You're looking great these days," Madison said after a long stretch of silence.
"Thank you," I replied. "You look nice too."
My words were true, but more from a polite perspective. I didn't hate Madison or hold any ill-will towards her--like my women did--I just didn't feel anything towards her at all. She was a part of my life that ended as soon as I returned home. I wasn't even the same Jason anymore.
"So...was that your girlfriend?" Madison asked after several seconds of silence had passed.
"She is," I replied, knowing she was referring to Hayley.
"I see," she said, looking down at her hands on the table.
My girls and I had agreed to keep it simple when telling people about the relationships. It was clear to everyone that Hayley and I were together--since she was pregnant with my child--so until any further developments arose, that was the narrative. I felt it wasn't fair to the others for Hayley and me to openly be together, but none of them seemed bothered by the decision.
"She is quite pretty," Madison added.
"What are you here for, Madison?" I asked, getting to the point. I'd been screening her calls for some time and ignoring her messages in hopes she'd get the hint.
"I know I fucked up, Jason. I really do," she began. "I wish I could go back and stop myself from making those mistakes and pushing you away. I know I can't make it right now, but I just needed to see you and tell you I still love you, and care about you."
Madison didn't make eye contact with me at all during her short speech. She was obviously anxious and upset. I actually felt sorry for her. It must have taken a tremendous amount of courage for her to even consider coming all this way to confront me--something I never would have done. Well, the old me anyway.
"But..." I sighed. "What do you want? You can't just waltz back into my life and expect me to drop everything for you."
"I don't want you too. I understand you've moved on, but I couldn't move on with how we left things," she exclaimed. "I just want to be part of your life again. Even if we're just friends."
Madison and I had been quite good friends. We'd had a lot in common when it came to gaming and movie choices. I genuinely did enjoy the times we'd hung out together. Maybe hooking up was a mistake for us, but it didn't mean I had to let that mistake dictate where we went with our friendship. I'd just have to tread carefully around the subject of Tori and myself.
"Okay," I said after a minute of thinking.
"Okay?" she asked with surprise clear on her face.
"Let's put all that behind us and move forward," I said. "As friends."
"I'd love that," she smiled. "I promise I won't try to get between you and your girlfriend."
"And I promise I'll keep her from being too mean to you," I chuckled. "Hayley has a mean resting bitch face, but she is lovely once you get to know her."
"I bet she is," Madison smiled. "Anyway. I have taken up enough of your time today. I'll be in town for another week. I'd like it if we could catch up before I go."
"Sounds good. I promise I'll answer your call next time," I smiled.
I walked Madison to the elevator, and we rode the lift to the lobby in a comfortable silence and I used the time to check my phone. Three messages. I quickly skimmed over the first message from Vicky.
Hey stud. Heard your old flames back in town. Hayley's a bit pissed, but I trust you, babe. Come see me soon. Xxx
P.s Liz had been moody. I think she needs some of your magic cock.
I chuckled and shook my head at Vicky's text message. To be honest, it was quite tame for the blonde bombshell. Usually she would include a cute selfie, scantily clad erotic pose, or a mixture of both. Then I checked the second message, from Liz.
Miss you xoxo.
The message was short and simple. But the image that came with it was definitely not.
The photo was clearly of the twins together, although they'd cropped the majority of their faces out. Leaving only their mouths and jawlines visible in a kiss. The girls were kneeling on the bed together. Liz's pale, athletic body contrasted strongly against Vicky's tanned curves. Both girls were completely naked, and the flow of their long hair down their naked bodies was incredibly arousing. The position of their pose covered all the hot zones of their bodies, while still maintaining a highly erotic image.
I smiled as I closed the message, making a mental note to visit the twins as soon as possible. I checked the third message from Hayley and sighed at the wall of text from my beautiful lover.
