Lilith’s POV

Dinner went on, but I couldn’t stop noticing Bastian’s mother's icy eyes watching me. She sat straight, her eyes were fixed on me as though she was trying to see through me and waiting for me to make a mistake or a fool of myself.

The feeling was intense, and my chest tightened each time I caught her gaze. Nervousness was killing me and I was already experiencing indigestion. I have altogether lost my appetite but I had to continue eating so I don't look rude. What the heck am I doing here? I feel hands on my thighs.

I instantly looked up and met the gaze of Bastian with a gentle smile and smoldering look that always warmed me up in his eyes. My face heated up and I knew I would be as red as the tomato sauce on the table. I returned his smile as I bowed my head shyly. I won't say I am a shy person but Bastian makes me feel heated up anytime he looks at me.

Hellena finally looked at me and cleared her throat. “Lilith,” she said slowly, “tell me about your mother.”

  • A Sweet Sin   I didn't mean to harm them

    Bastian's POVMy hands were trembling, no matter what I did, they wouldn't stop shaking. I don't want Lilith to see me this way. Even as she led me out of the dinning hall to my room, I wasn't paying much attention to my surroundings. I should be used to my mother's cursive ways by now. However, getting used to it is one thing but living it and knowing somehow, she is right is another. If I had not had that argument with Ellana that night, she wouldn't have driven off with Sofia. She wouldn't have gotten into an accident that took her life.I am a sick psycho. That's what I am. A selfish man, if I wasn't a selfish man, my daughter wouldn't have hated me. If I wasn't a selfish and cruel man, I wouldn't be yearning for my best friend's daughter.Yes, I am demented psycho. I hear Lilith’s voice calling out to me even with the loud ringing in my ear. I thought I was going to lose consciousness. I held onto the bed post. I needed my pills. I need them to calm me down.“Bastian, calm down

  • A Sweet Sin   A perfect dream

    Lilith’s POV What?” More tears fell down her eyes. I use my tongue and lick them off.“I would rather be a source that drains all your sorrows than make you cry.”My heart still couldn't comprehend what Bastian was saying. I just let myself cry. I just cried for all the hurt I couldn't let out before my dad. The things I couldn't tell him.Why would such a man like Bastian be interested in me? I wanted to ask when it all began. I should be happy, but somehow, I am not. I feel responsible for amplifying his traumas. I was the only one who had seen Bastian cry when I was younger.I still remember that cruel day, I had returned from school. I had cried to my dad that I wanted to check up on uncle Bastian since he just lost his wife.Sofia had been so mad at his father, I was eight and she was five years old, yet she had that anger and hatred against her dad. She had insisted on staying with her grandparents, Ellana's parents.Bastian had not resisted because he was in pain and was blami

  • A Sweet Sin   Karma is a bitch.

    Lilith’s POVThe food on the table looked so good, but neither of us had an appetite. I watched as Rebecca kept crying, and even though I wanted to comfort her, I couldn’t. I needed answers, to understand what really happened.“I’m sorry. I just can’t help but tear up when I talk about this,” she said, trying to brush it off. I didn’t like how she made light of it when it was clearly hurting her.“How did my dad meet my mom?” I asked, steering the conversation back to the real questions.“They met through my brother.” She looked at me, and I could tell there was more to it than she was letting on.“What are you hiding?” My voice came out sharper than I intended, but I couldn’t hold back.“My brother and your father went on a double date, a blind date actually. My brother suggested it after countless rejections from my mother…” she said, trailing off.“Why would Bastian suggest that?” I muttered, not realizing I’d said it out loud.“Your father and I were madly in love. After my mother

  • A Sweet Sin   You are my everything

    Lilith’s POVI couldn’t hold back my giggles. The whole situation with Ella was so ridiculous that it had me laughing out loud without even realizing it.“What’s so funny?” a familiar voice asked, pulling me from my thoughts. I looked up to find Bastian standing in the doorway of my room. He looked breathtaking, as always. Just seeing him there made my heart race.“You’re here!” I exclaimed, rushing to him. I threw my arms around him in a tight hug.“I thought you’d miss me, so I came back early,” he said, ruffling my hair affectionately. Bastian always felt like a safe haven, a lush, green forest where I could escape to. He was a green flag and I am a red carpet. It's a perfect match!“I missed you more than you can imagine,” I said, flirting as I inhaled his scent. He smelled amazing, a mix of masculine musk and the intoxicating cologne he always wore.“Hmm… that’s the best thing I’ve heard all day.” His voice was smooth, and before I could respond, he leaned in and kissed me. It wa

  • A Sweet Sin   Chapter 21: An unholy obsession

    Bastian's POV The minute I stepped into her room and saw her sitting in that seductive manner, I knew I was going to have her as a meal before the dinner party. She started laughing loudly, I couldn't help but admire her beauty. She is indeed very beautiful. The chandelier light shimmered around her and gave her hair a flaming glow. The fire in the corner of the room added a cozy warmth, but I knew the heat building in me had nothing to do with the heater. It had more to do with the little vixen on the bed that was laughing hysterically. It was about an hour later. Carrying out the devilish thoughts in my mind that I began to unbind her from the bedpost. I folded her in a hug, inhaling her wonderful fruity scent with a touch of vanilla fragrance. I just couldn't get enough of her and since I finally was able to tell myself that I couldn't do without her and wanted her and was willing to do away with years of friendship with Marcus, I have been able to ignore the guilt. I know s

  • A Sweet Sin   Use words kitten

    All I wanted to do was help myself, I wasn't expecting to see Bastian sitting on my bed looking at me with wild eyes that were devouring me. I don't want to wait. I wonder what will happen if I disobey him. What kind of punishment would he give me? The thought of having him punish me made me feel so unhinged and excited. I did not realize when my hand moved to my clit as I slowly massaged it, just as I liked it . The electrifying pleasure that shot through my body made my body spasm, I could feel my climax. I couldn't stop my finger as it sank deeply into my needing cunt. It went in and out. I tried holding my moan in. I didn't want him to hear me but I couldn't contain the sound of pleasure that came out of my mouth. Suddenly, the bathroom door opened and Bastian stepped in looking angry. The look on his face was scary. The desire was palpable but he wasn't joking when he said, he didn't like being disobeyed. He watched me like a wolf watches his prey. My hand froze inside my

  • A Sweet Sin   Chapter 23: I Want You.

    Bastian's POV"Use words, kitten," I urged again, my voice steady but commanding. I needed her to say it, to claim her desires with no room for misinterpretation. But Lilith, lost in her haze of desire, remained defiant, her body arching and trembling as though words were beyond her reach."Tell me what you want, and it will be yours." I tipped her chin up, forcing her glazed eyes to meet mine."I want you," she finally whispered, her voice so soft it was barely audible. If I hadn’t been hanging on her every breath, I might have missed it."Good," I murmured, a slow smile spreading across my lips. "If you want me, then you can have me, but I need you to be detailed." My intention was clear; I wouldn’t let her off easily, not tonight.Lilith's bashful demeanor was charming, but it wasn’t what I craved. I wanted the bold, fiery woman who’d pursued me relentlessly, tearing down every wall I’d built around myself. I wanted her unguarded, free to voice her deepest desires.Her cheeks flush

    Bastian's POVThe knock came, sharp and deliberate, slicing through the stillness of the room. My chest tightened as I rose, each step deliberate, carrying the weight of the confrontation I already felt brewing. I knew who might be waiting on the other side.“Get some rest, Kitten. I’ll take care of it.” My voice was calm, though my mind churned. I leaned down, placing a soft kiss on her temple. Lilith's wide, questioning eyes locked on mine, her lips parting as if to speak.“I’ll handle this,” I repeated before she could say a word.The knock persisted, insistent, like a challenge. A flare of anger rose in me. I quickly pulled on my shirt, unwilling to let this disturbance unsettle her further. Lilith had already endured more than enough.Her silence lingered as she curled deeper into the bed. Turning away, I opened the door, bracing myself. My expectations were met; two figures stood there. The stylist I’d called earlier shifted awkwardly with her equipment, while my mother stood st

  • A Sweet Sin   chapter 36: Let's go home

    ~Bastian's POV~Do I hate myself? Yes. Do I feel like ending it? Yes. Am I tired of everything? Yes. Yes, and yes again.Yet, in the midst of all this, all I could see was the little woman standing up for me. No one ever did. They all blamed me. Whoever heard the story without knowing everything blamed me.As a growing adult, unable to bear the accusatory eyes and demeaning words, I had left home with Ellara, fully intending never to look back. Like a ray of sunshine, Ellara and I found out three months later that we were expecting our first child.Like a fool always seeking his parents’ validation, I had called home to share the good news. And what had my father's reply been? "You dare have a child after destroying your brother's home?"I dare? What do you mean? How many times do I have to tell you that Lucy drugged me? They faulted me even when I told them the truth.One truth I’m a hundred percent sure of, that my dad isn’t aware of, is that Lucy found out his golden boy, Alfonso,

    ~Lilith's POV~When I got to Bastian's room, I could hear low, harsh whispers. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, I swear, but I couldn’t help it.Bastian’s voice sounded so broken that it tore at something inside me, a piece of me, longing to take away all his hurt.“How could you do this to me?” he yelled, his voice hitching, and the raw pain in it shattered my heart into a million broken pieces.“What do you mean you didn’t mean to hurt me? And yet, you kept the fact that you got pregnant with my child after you literally drugged me to get back at your husband?!” he snarled.I had never heard Bastian sound so angry. He was such a sweet soul, but these people; his own family, had pushed him to the edge. And if I wasn’t mistaken, he was speaking to Alfonso’s wife.“I don’t want to meet with you, Lucy.”That confirmed my suspicion. It was Lucy. The woman had the nerve! She had used Bastian to get back at her husband, and now she wanted to use him again, to save her son. Well, logically, Bas

  • A Sweet Sin   chapter 34: Serves her right

    ~Lilith's POV~Thoughts of Jamie circled around my mind. I couldn't shake the guilt I was feeling. Maybe I was too harsh. Regardless, someone needed to tell him.Maybe I shouldn't have been that someone. Jamie is an elder. When I was younger, my parents taught me that it was never the place of a younger person to correct an elder.Why they said that, I don't know. Why I am adhering to that instruction, I don't know either. But if an elder, just like Jamie, is doing wrong, shouldn't a younger one say something?Ahh... I don't know. I just spoke the truth as I saw it. As an elder, he should know he is hurting his son. Maybe it wasn't my place, but I have done it. I will just avoid him for now, just in case he is angry.Meanwhile, as for Alfonso, I can never see him as an elder. He doesn't deserve such respect from me. I can't ignore or forget the horrible words he said."Look who we have here."I could never forget that voice, no matter where I am thrown.I didn't say anything, or rathe

  • A Sweet Sin   Chapter 33: had I gone too far?

    ~Lilith’s POV~I gaze at Bastian's sorrowful eyes as he limps off, not from a physical injury. I doubt he even registered his hurt physically. The bruises on his face were evident from the number Alfonso did to him.Bastian continues to wander off. I wince at his swollen jaw. I wanted to call his attention to his injury but I doubt he cares. The pain he is currently feeling, is in his heart not his body. This man has been so hurt countless times by his family since I came here. They have not treated him as one of theirs. They treated him more like a stranger than their son.He looks dazed, a shadow of the man that had been in my bed earlier. All I could think about were ways I could take his pain away."Let me help you." I ran and offered my hands and shoulders to him so he could lean on. But Bastian doesn’t. He pulls away from me.I would do anything to wipe that haunted look from his eyes, yet I didn’t know how to. And if he doesn’t come to me, I don't know how I would be able to h

This family gives off serious horror movie vibes, one terrible secret after another, and somehow, I’m always caught in the middle of this madness. I need to leave.I turn away, trying to move my stiff legs, but they feel like lead. I drag them forward, forcing myself to walk, ignoring the way Bastian’s face drains of color when our eyes meet. His blue eyes are filled with fear. Hurt."Lilith, please, wait." His voice is desperate. No, I can't. I just need to get out of here. I can’t be here."Please, just listen to me," he says, his voice breaking in a way that shreds my heart into a million pieces.I want to stay. I want to hold him, tell him everything is okay—but I can’t. I’m too young for this level of drama. My own family is already a mess with my mother’s controlling ways, and now this? I can't afford

  • A Sweet Sin   Why is she here?

    Bastian's POV"What did you just say?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. He has to be joking. It’s been years, why is he telling me this now? None of this makes sense."You heard me right, you stupid, man whoring bastard!" Alfonso roared, his voice filled with venom, as he lunged forward, grabbing me by the collar.I was too stunned to react. Lucy? Pregnant? With my child? I have a child? The words echoed in my head, louder and louder, drowning out the rest of the room. What kind of madness is this?"Now you’re speechless? When you fucked her that night, what were you expecting?" His words hit me like a slap to the face as he shook me violently, his grip tightening around my shirt."Shut the fuck up!" I hissed, shoving him off me with enough force to make him stagger back a few steps.He stared at me, eyes wide in disbelief, as if I’d done the unthinkable.But his shock didn’t last long. Slowly, his expression twisted into something dark. His eyes turned red with rage, the vei

  • A Sweet Sin   Chapter 30: His biggest regret

    Bastian's POVA knock at the door pulled me from sleep. I frowned, glancing at Lilith curled up beside me, looking peaceful, her face soft and angelic. Whoever was at the door better have a damn good reason for disturbing us.I climbed out of bed, careful not to wake her, and grabbed the robe hanging on the chair. Pulling it around me, I opened the door to find Alfonso standing there, his usual cold expression firmly in place. Yeah, the ever perfect child.“Sorry for interrupting you so early,” he said, his voice as detached as ever. “ It's obvious, you are busy with your little whore.” “ Yes, my whore is perfect for me just like your wife once wanted to be.” I see a flicker of annoyance in his eyes as his jaws tightened.I leaned against the doorframe, studying him. Alfonso had always been a reminder of what I’d walked away from. The perfect eldest son. The obedient heir. The man who somehow managed to avoid being completely broken by our mother.He run a hand over his face. “ I am

  • A Sweet Sin   I want to hear your screams.

    Bastian's POV “Daddy, I want you,” Lilith repeats, grinding her soft, tight ass against me, eliciting a response from my body. Truth be told, I’m addicted to her now. She knows it and takes full advantage.“Not today, wildcat. You still need rest. Now, behave,” I murmur into her ear, using that voice I know women melt for as I nibble on her neck. Lilith always tries to bring out the bad guy from my twenties.She arches her neck further, giving me a perfect view of her fair skin. It’s tempting to sink my teeth into her and mark her as mine. I want my mark on her, especially if my foolish nephew ever decides he wants her back.As much as I act unfazed by her revelation, I’m livid. Lilith is the sweetest being I’ve ever known. A little rebellious, yes, but that feistiness is exactly what I like about her.She hasn’t told me everything, I know that. And I know she’s trying to distract me, grinding her warm, wet core against me to avoid my questions.“ Daddy, you want me. I know you do.”

    ~Lilith’s POV~"Lilith."My body instinctively stiffened. I could never mistake that voice. It was him. The bastard who’d slept with both my mother and my best friend. What was he doing here?"It’s alright, kitten. It’s just my nephew," Bastian said in a soothing tone. Nephew? Markle was a Lockhart as well? The son of Rebecca? Well, isn’t the world just impossibly small.Bury me. I groaned inwardly. I still couldn’t stand Markle, even though I’d gotten over him, mostly thanks to how ridiculously attractive his uncle was. So, this is what Tommy meant when he mentioned Markle coming to Scotland.And, of course, the universe couldn’t resist making things worse by orchestrating his arrival while I was here with his uncle. Life really had a twisted sense of humor. I scowled."Markle, my sweet boy," Hellena began in an overly sweet tone. Sweet boy, my foot. Your grandson is a bastard, madam. He slept with the woman who stole his mother’s fiancé and the very woman you despise with so much pas
