Chapter 39
Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel
Chapter 39 What Are You Waiting for? Take It off!
Amberâs mood was lightened when she received a present from Jeremy, who was currently out of town.
She put the ring on her ring finger after replying to Jeremy, hiding the trace of her former wedding ring.
While Chloe glanced at Amber and her ring, her eyes were full of jealousy, Amberâs happy face annoyed Jared slightly.
Chloe had never expected Amber would receive such a lavish gift, so she was surprised. âIsnât Cole your lover, Ms. Reed? You use his name to get here. And Mr. Lynch is your rumored lover, the model, is he?â She said loudly.
âI guess both of you arenât simply friends since he got you such an expensive gift.â Chloe ridiculed, âI didnât believe the rumor that you cheated on Mr.
Farrell, which led to your divorce, but I do now,â she said.
Amber laughed quietly to herself, knowing that no one knew why they were divorced better than Jared.
Amber turned to Jared, thinking that he would clear things up for her, but he sat next to Makenna and did nothing.
She had just witnessed everything, so why was she still hoping? Her love for him was gone, as was the tattoo on her waist.
âDoes Cole know you received a present from Mr. Lynch? And does he know youâre a two- timer?â
âWhat is the point of having a bigâmouth in a private room?â Cole, who was dressed in a black. Tâshirt, stated as he entered the room. âWhere is the loud wench?â He asked, looking viciously at Chloe. âI want to cut off her tongue!â
Chloe took a few steps back and nearly fell to the ground in fear, as Cole stood in front of her, staring her down from head to toe, asking, âWhy do you seem scared? Are you that obnoxious wench?â
âNo...No...â Chloe was stuttering.
âI believe you are; you sound like one,â said Cole. âBring me a knife, anyone?â Cole growled as he yanked her hair and shoved her against the poker table.
âBe careful not to injure yourself, this is a sharp one,â Stella said as he handed him the little. knife alongside the fruit tray.
âMakenna, Gigi, help...â Chloe screamed out, shivering in terror.
But no one dared to say anything. Makenna clenched her fist on Jaredâs sleeve and wanted to walk forward, but Jared motioned for her to stay seated.
He was curious about how far Cole could go to protect Amber.
âAm I talking to deafâmutes here?â Cole looked around and noticed Jared and Makenna were also present.
âWhat did they do to my babe just now?â He muttered and turned to Stella. âDid they bully her?â
âAnd thatâs not all!â Stella was quick to reveal everything.
After the story, Cole cast a glance at Jared and tossed Chloe aside, telling Amber, âGo to our room, Iâll be right there.â
âNo, letâs go celebrate your birthday,â she said, holding his arm so he wouldnât go against the Garland family for her.
Jaredâs heart was sunken by her move of gripping a manâs arm.
âNo, I have to teach them a lesson for bullying my babe, but donât worry, Iâll be gentle,â he added, gesturing Stella to take Amber away.
âLetâs get out of here, Ms. Reed. Cole knows what to do,â Stella remarked as she pulled Amber out of the room.
âLetâs play a few rounds,â Cole said as he sat down at the table and lit a cigarette. âIâll kneel at your feet and offered you two million dollars for each of your victories. But if I win, you must remove one piece of clothing at a time and walk out of here dressed as you are.â
This offer drew the ladies in since it promised an excellent opportunity to earn a fortune, and removing a piece of clothing was nothing compared to that.
âBe ready to kneel, Cole,â Gigi clenched her fists and sat beside him, enraged by his behavior.
As he reclined back in his seat, he added, âSure, come on, donât waste my time, my babe is waiting for me.â
Without Gigiâs approval, no one dared to move. She chose a few players who were excellent at poker and then turned to Makenna.
Makenna understood instantly, âJared, Mr. Lyon has gone too far. Can you help?â Makenna pleaded, knowing that Jared was a skilled poker player and that Cole might not be able to beat him.
âI have stuff to do, and you go ahead,â Jared said as he stayed sitting.

The girls were no match for Cole; he was quick and merciless, âWhat are you waiting for, stupid head?â He said to one of them during the game, âPick up the pace,â and the ladies were all enraged by his comments.
Makenna thought she was good at poker and that she and her friends could easily beat Cole in a threeâonâone game, but she was wrong. After a few rounds, she had nothing but a white camisole top left.
âIâll take this round!â Cole said once again.
Makenna cursed silently, knowing Cole wanted to punish her for Amber!
âWhat are you waiting for?â He said as he tapped away the ashes from his cigarette and looked at Makenna. âTake it off!â
