I felt the voice in the way a woman feels when she realizes she's about to lose her grocery money to some inevitable thieves. The voice belonged to Leila. I knew it even before looking up.

When I looked up at her, she was beautiful. Her dazzling blue dress clung to her sexy figure. "Leila," Emmett said and rose to his feet for her.

I had to lower my head because I couldn’t trust what my expression would reveal. "What are you doing here?" He asked her.

"You didn't tell me you'll be coming to our favorite restaurant even though we spent the whole day together." I heard her say.

I knew the game she was trying to play. I knew what she was trying to do. A sensible me should not let her words get to me. But I wasn't sensible at the moment.

"You didn’t ask," he replied simply.

Was he flirting with her right in front of me? I saw crimson-red blurry lines in front of me. It was so pathetic that I wanted to scratch Leila's eyes out.

In order not to embarrass myself, I got to my feet. "Exc

    EMMETT'S POV.Leila managed to distract me from the real reason I came to the restaurant and I was stupid enough to fall for it. When I finally glanced impatiently at the empty seat next to me. I felt ridiculous. What the hell have I done? I brought her out for dinner, made her dress so beautifully for me, and I now I did this. Was I truly this stupid?"Keep your hands to yourself, Leila," I warned when I realized that my focus on Amber's empty seat sort of made her more daring."Fine." She whined, "Well, I'll see you tomorrow then.""What's happening tomorrow?" I asked, scanning the possible places Amber might have gone while I wasn't paying attention."The result will be in tomorrow. I thought you were informed?"I couldn’t sit still. I felt agitated and even angsty. "No, I wasn't. But I'll see you there." I snapped, rose from my seat, and strode out of the room. I could see Wynne and one of the new guys I made him hire since the episode with Denver. They were hanging around the

    AMBER'S POV.When I woke up in the morning, Emmett was nowhere to be found. But I was still in his room. We may have slept off at some point last night and he carried me to bed.I checked my phone and saw a text from him. He stopped at home to see his father and would be back as by evening.I checked the time and almost fell off the bed. It was 8:34 am, and I had a cake baking with Rose to get to..A couple of minutes later, I was in the kitchen with Rose who was almost done with the cake. Wynne walked in with a box of deliveries: helium balloons and a few earthy decor pieces. I set to work immediately, decorating only a part of the dining room. I had Wynne be on the lookout for when Emmett would get back and stall him for at least three extra minutes..At 4:56 pm, Emmett’s car entered the compound. The dining table was set with his birthday cake, and several appetizing meals scooped and covered in big serving bowls.I was putting on a silk singlet and lacey crystal-stoned palazzo

    Emmett growled and lifted me from his lap to sit me on the center table. While he was still bent toward me, I grabbed his dick through his pants. He grabbed my wrist, pulling my hand away from him. ‘the first time’ He was fighting... He was fighting himself and his feelings. I pulled my hand from his loose grip and slipped it into his pants. I stroked his dick and looked him in the eyes as he grew in my palm. “Don’t fight yourself, Emmett,” I whispered in the most erotic voice I’ve ever used on anybody. As if he needed to be told that, he lowered his mouth to my ear. “Yes, Amber.” He said. His hand slipped into my top and beneath my bra to grab my breast. He teased my nipple between his fingers as he continued. “Tell me you want it, Amber. Tell me what you want from me,” He said, finally taking control. “Mmm,” I moaned. “I want... Yes, please.” “What do you want?” His fingers kept playing with my nipples while he slowly waited for my response.

    Emmett pulled back, but I gripped his ass and forced him forward. I loved to choke on it. I kept sucking, and my eyes watered from the constant gagging, but his dick suddenly tasted like sweet juice, and I couldn’t stop. “Shit,” he cussed and picked me up, flipped me upside down, and ate my pussy while he walked us over to the couch. The next thing I knew, I was on my back, and his tongue was exploring every hole I had. “Wait, please,” I begged after coming twice more. He stopped and climbed up my body, kissing my stomach, tits, and neck before he made it to my mouth. And dammit if that tongue of his wasn’t just as good in a kiss. “Are you begging for mercy now?” “I just...” I caught my breath. “Dammit.”“No breaks,” he said and then flipped me onto my stomach. “You asked to be fucked, Amber.” And he was back inside me. Slow strokes teased me. He took his time, kissing my back as his hand gripped my hair. Soon, I was dripping wet, pushing my hips ba

    AMBER'S POV."Oh Lord! Is it okay if I tell you that I'm so fucking jealous? You had the best holiday ever while I was stuck with my overbearing family." Gracie complained a few hours after she got back while I helped her unpack her boxes.She sighed. "It was just a harmless holiday with a friend's brother," I said, regretting why I told her a washed-out version of my holiday at Emmett's."A friend's brother that you told me absolutely nothing about throughout last semester. Come on, girl... If you were hiding details about him, that means you were crushing and you didn't want to get your hopes up by confessing your feelings to me, right?""Yes," I said, hoping that my reply would make the version of the story I shared with her, more sensible.I just wanted her to know about Emmett. It's been two days since I got back from his place and I still can't get him off my mind. "So he has an ex-baggage. That's sad," Gracie said, pouting. "Y

    EMMETT'S POV."Why do I have to be present at this gathering?" I asked taking a seat opposite my parents. Kevin was seated close to them, and Granny King was beside me."Your mother..." My father cleared his throat. "She made a disclosure and I think we need to talk about it." He turned to his wife as an open invitation."It's about Leila." Mom started and I stood up immediately."I'm getting the fuck out of here. "Not going to sit down and listen to you all make my personal life a thing of general discussion.""Please." Mom let out. "Please Em, hear me out.""Sit son, hear us out," Dad added.I bit my lower lip and sank my ass back down. "As we all know, Leila is carrying my grandchild." Mom started, looking at anywhere but me. "We can't pretend this isn't good news. I apologize for bringing everyone out here, but I wanted us to discuss the way forward. A wedding in view between Em and Leila...""I'm not marrying her." I cut in. "It wa

    AMBER'S POV . The semester commenced slowly. Most of the lecturers were probably still hung over from the fun of the holiday, I suppose. But after a long, boring morning, I left for the cafeteria for a cup of cappuccino. I’d spoken to my mom that morning and she kept talking about Emmett and how he calls to check up on her as often as possible. I couldn’t gather the courage to tell her I was done with Emmett. So, I let her believe whatever she wanted to. The cafeteria was scanty. The first week of school resumption was always like that. There would be bookworms thatcan’t wait to come back to school, and students that just want to get away from their family as soon as possible. When I couldn’t get cappuccino because the workers at the cafeteria had yet to resume fully as well, I left for the library. The lonely shortcut that led to the library was, as expected, completely deserted since most students had yet to resume. Right in the middle of the path, two not-so-cheerful-looki

    There wasn’t time to panic, though. The man sauntered right around the car and stopped by the driver’s side door. I swallowed, looking up at him, dread coursing through my entire body as his cool, blue-eyed gaze met mine. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember where I met him. “Pretty car,” he said, his voice dry enough that I could tell he knew it wasn’t mine. But does he know that because he’s one of my abductors or because he’s a car lover who wakes up as early as 4:00 am and stops to admire nice, fancy cars on his way out to god knows where? “You must be Amber.” Okay, who’s this man? There was something about him, an ease, a sort of cockiness. It felt like he was the type of guy that calls the shots, and I had a hunch that if he wanted me out of the car, I’d be out of it already. “Who are...” I hesitated, unsure to ask the question at the tip of my lips. “I’m a friend of the guy whose car you stole.” He replied. “One would have thought you’d be grateful you got saved

    "Now, I'll ask you again, Amber. What do you know about us?" He asked, positioning his hand like an imaginary cuff, very close to my neck. "I don’t know anything," I swore to him. But then he brought his fingers closer and squeezed, cutting off the possible air I could manage to get. "Please," I said, pulling uselessly at my bound hands. "I don’t know anything else." "I heard you were kidnapped a couple of weeks ago. Is that true? He asked. "No. That's not true." I replied."It's not?" He asked, frowning."Yes, it's not," I replied."I also heard someone broke into your room a couple of days ago. Is that a lie too?""Yes." I breathed out."Would you swear on your life that these things didn't happen?" "They didn't happen," I replied, sounding so sure."And your roommate, did she see anything?"I shook my head. "She didn't.""Are you sure about that?""A hundred percent," I replied. Finally, his hold on my throat reduced to a bearable extent.He knew all of these things happened.

    A shudder passed over me forcing me to push myself up. "Oh, she's good now," said the tall guy. "Can I remove the blindfold?" I asked. "No. It was nice of you to ask. I told you she’d cooperate," Jonathan muttered. "Are you all right, Amber?" He asked.I nodded, getting more comfortable in the seat. "Don’t worry," the guy behind the wheels said, "We won’t hurt you. Not like that." "Thank you for the assurance." I whispered and pulled my nightgown down to cover my thighs better.""We aren't looking, either," Jonathan assured me. "None of us are looking.""Yeah, the tall guy said. "I've got my own girlfriend to torment." He sighed."You all do." The guy behind the wheels announced. "I think she needed to hear that too." He muttered. "Is Francis here?" I asked. "No," Jonathan answered. "But you'll see him soon. We're taking you to him." I stiffened. "He won't touch you, you have absolutely nothing to worry about," Jonathan added."But he has a problem with me. He didn't seem to l

    The night felt like an infinity kind of night. I’ve had a lot of lonely nights in my lifetime, but tonight felt like the loneliest. Maybe I'm being dramatic. Maybe the night seems to be stretching forever because I’ve put all the other lonely nights in my lifetime out of my mind so I could move forward without all of that weighing me down. It took everlasting before my body felt exhausted enough to finally fall asleep. But I woke up abruptly, swatting at my arm on instinct. It felt like I'd been stung by an insect, or maybe a bug bit me. I could no longer feel my legs, so I reached for my blanket to throw it back so I could jump out of bed and check for any bugs on it.Only then did I realize that I couldn't feel my arms too. Not only that, my arms felt so heavy that they couldn't pick up the blanket, nor could my legs move. My eyes widened in horror as I tried again to pick up the blanket. But I couldn't I became confused. Then my gaze jumped to movements in the shadows in my ro

    When I got back to Emmett's house, I didn't have the words to explain how I was feeling. Guilty, tense, and stupid. Why am I still with him? Security is a lame excuse because if that is the case, I could even hire a bodyguard with the kind of money in my account. If I go out there physically for house hunting, I would definitely get a nice apartment in a day or two. So, what exactly is my excuse to keep staying with Emmett?I met him in the living room and when he saw me, he was immediately worried. "Amber," he called, "something is wrong, tell me what."I shook my head, "Nah, everything’s great." "But?"I tried to internally figure out where the hell to go from here. I didn't want to stay here anymore. I don’t even know how I feel about Emmett anymore."The locks in my dorm room have been changed," I told him, hating how thick and emotion-filled my voice sounded. "I can’t imagine anyone attacking me again when news has it that I'm dating Emmett King." I could feel his gaze on me,

    Gracie waited for a while, yet I said nothing. Then she continued. "I hope you do know that if any of them decide to murder you, nothing, absolutely nothing, would be done about it?" She asked, hoping she'd get a reply from me at this point. But I still said nothing.I wanted to say something, to defend myself at least. But the words weren't just coming. She was speaking again, so I tried to shift my focus and concentrate on what she was saying. "Anyway, since it seems this is the kind of life you want, I really wish you luck with all of this. I hope you make good decisions and stay away from these men because your life and affinity to live long actually depend on it. But I'd like to let you know that I can’t be involved in whatever you have going on. I don’t want to get mixed up with the people you’re mixed up with. I don’t want to be the next gunshot victim. I-I'm moving out of the dorm. I'll let student affairs know. Maybe they'll get you another roommate or something." "Oh..." T

    Olivia sent me a couple of apartment videos and none of them came close to what I was looking for. Justin's recommendations were even better. The more she sent them, the shittier they got. I soon gave up, and she promised to get more videos or maybe take me to see more places in the coming week. So I eased up and got busy with my books. Emmett was home in his study, getting a couple of things done. On days like this, I tend to forget how young he is, with the amount of work he does and the dedication he puts in. He called my mom earlier and we spoke to her. Mom was happy that I was okay, and she discussed yesterday's game with Emmett. I was shocked to find out that they'd been speaking on the phone almost every day, even while I wasn't on talking terms with Em. My new phone finally rang for the first time since I officially launched it last night. It was Gracie. "Hey roomie, how are you?" I asked, picking up the call. She sighed. "I'm fine, but we need to talk." "Oh okay,

    We ate dinner much later, after putting my old SIM card in my new phone and starting it up. Gracie's number kept going to voicemail each time I attempted to call. When I couldn't take it anymore, I convinced Emmett to take me to my dorm room, just to be sure Gracie wasn't there. He agreed, and when we got there, Gracie wasn't home, and from the look of things, it didn't seem like she had been there since the break-in. On our way back, I dropped a voicemail for her, asking if she was okay. And did the same via a text message. "What do you plan on doing this weekend?" Emmett asked as we drove off. "Check out some of the houses I'd possibly get. Shit! I need to drop a message to Olivia; she promised to send me a couple of options to choose from." "Olivia Tampa?" He asked. "Aston's sister, yes," I replied. "What if I offer you my place for rent? It has everything you need, and the security is topnotch." "Are you going to stay there with me?" I asked. He grinned and took a moment

    When I finally got back to Emmett's home, it was evening already and I was totally exhausted. Wynne took the car keys to park the car. "Is Emmett home?" I asked him. "Just got back." He replied with a small smile. "Thank you," I said and paused. "Not just for now, for always. For your kindness. For saving me the other day. Emmett told me." "It's my job, Amber." He replied. "You don't have to thank me, at all." "Still." I persisted. "You're welcome then." I flashed him a smile, adjusted my backpack with one hand, then left for the house. After dropping my bag, I found Emmett in his home office, frowning at his computer screen. "Can I come in?" I asked, tapping at his door. When he lifted his face from the computer screen, he caught my eyes and a soothing smile spread across his face, warming my heart. "Please." He replied, gesturing to the empty seat in his office. "You seem busy," I noted. "I could go and maybe check on you later." He shook his head. "No, I'm good with

    It felt like a weekend had passed since I last set foot on the campus. I left Emmett's home around ten in the morning after reconnecting with Rose and having her fill my ears with everything that happened after I left the house.It was so satisfying hearing her talk about how bitchy and irritable Emmett was all through.When I got to school, I wasn’t guarded and paranoid. Dread didn’t quicken my steps every time I rounded a corner or another student passed me too abruptly. It was a dull Friday morning and since I had only one lecture for the day.I was already discussing the fact that I was searching for an apartment with one of my coursemates, Justin. He was super helpful with a few listings and even offered to take me to see some of them.Unfortunately, they weren't exactly what I was looking for, as they didn't have front desks and standby security. When we got the news that the day's lecture had been postponed till the coming week, we left for the school canteen together.I got an
