Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Zoe knew what Freddy meant—sex.

Freddy had pursued her for years. Calling him the ultimate simp wouldn't be an exaggeration. But back then, she wasn't interested in Freddy because of her feelings for Jasper.

Eventually, after all that had happened, Zoe gave up on Jasper and settled for Freddy.

Freddy was serious about marrying her, but she only saw him as a means to fulfill her sexual desires. After they slept together, Zoe would be satisfied and could go days or even a month without seeing him.

However, Zoe couldn't ignore him anymore. He was now an essential part of her plan. She needed to keep him around for a good reason.

"I know, Freddy. You're the kindest and most loving person to me in this whole world."

Zoe wrapped her arms around Freddy's neck, pressing her chest against his. With a pout, she said pitifully, "You'll help me if I'm in trouble, right?"

Freddy's desire flared up from her teasing, and he could barely hold onto his glass of red wine. He wished he could pin her against the railing and have his way with her right then and there. "Of course. I'm yours, Zoe. I'm happy to help with whatever you need."
