I hope you enjoyed these three chapters for today! Please remember to drop a pretty Gem for Aria and be sure to leave a comment. Thank you so much for reading! =)
KNOX I’m staring out the window in my office, but all I’m seeing is that sixteen-year-old girl who made a promise to me. I’ve tried not thinking about it over the last few years. Even though I’ve kept eyes on Aria since I found her again, doesn’t mean that I was in any position to bring her back into my life. I wanted her far away from this life, but now, it’s too late. I know I could have continued to stay away, let her live her life, but I am tired of trying to be the good guy. That guy has been gone for a long time, and now it’s time to take what is owed to me, it’s time to cash in on that promise made all those years ago. A knock on the door disturbs my thoughts, “Come in.” I call out, sounding a little surly. I already know that it’s Aria, because Merk and Jor will just open the door after they knock. There is a brief silence as I continue to stare out the window, my hands behind my back. I can feel her eyes burning a hole in my back as she looks me over. Yeah, I k
My lids flutter open, and I’m disoriented for a moment. Last, I remember, I was in Knox’s office, and now I’m in my bedroom. Leaning up on my elbows, I glance around the room. I’m alone, but I have the eerie feeling of being watched thanks to the camera in the corner. Noticing that it’s much later in the day, I frown as I climb out of bed and head to the bathroom. Remembering what had taken place with Knox, I bring my hand between my legs, thinking I should jump into the shower to clean myself, but realize that I am clean down there. Knox must have taken care of it when I passed out. I’m not sure how I feel about that, but I guess it doesn’t really matter. I’m theirs to do with as they see fit for the next month, so I need to get used to it. Memories of what took place with Knox has me smiling when I walk back into my room. At first, I don’t see the tall figure leaning against the wall by the door as I move deeper into the room. As soon as I see slight movement in my peripheral v
I can feel the heat coming off Merrick and see the lust in his eyes. He wants me. If I’m being honest, I’ve wanted him the second I saw him and Jory in the diner. Neither one of us move, not until my eyes glance down at his mouth. A growl erupts just before Merrick crashes his mouth against mine. He doesn’t do anything else but kiss me. He meant what he said about not touching me until I say. When he pulls away, we are both breathing hard.“There are papers on the side table that I want you to go through if you want to take this further. Fill them out and bring them to me if you decide you want to proceed.” Placing a kiss on my forehead, he stands up and places me on my feet before heading towards the door, “Oh,” he turns back around, “You will find lingerie in the bottom drawer of the dresser. I know Knox won’t like it if we keep you naked against your will, so you will be allowed to wear only what is in that drawer.” He smirks at me, and then with a wink, he’s gone. After finding th
JORY The look on Aria’s face is priceless, and if I went by just the deer in the headlight look that she’s giving me right now, I would call it off. Unlike some, I can read a woman’s body language really well. Aria may be scared, but she’s also turned on. Aside from her nipples hardening through the lace teddy that she’s wearing; she is squeezing her thighs together to try and help with the tingles that are running through her core. Merk begins to clear the dishes from the table while Knox stands and holds his hand out to Aria. She trembles as she takes his hand and gets up out of her chair. She glances over at me, but all I do is grin and pat the table in the spot that I want her. Knox brings her around, so she is at the head of the table and then lifts her by her waist, setting her on the edge. “Lay back, sweetness.” I instruct her. Surprisingly, she obeys and does exactly what I tell her to do, with her legs dangling over the edge. Knox and I grab her from underneath a
MERRICK After our little dessert session, I carry Aria up to her room and set her down on the edge of the tub while I turn the water on and sprinkle some bath salts into the water. When I start to undress, Aria’s eyes widen as she watches me pull my t-shirt over my head. “What are you doing?” She asks astonishingly. “What do you think I’m doing, Baby Doll? I’m going to join you.” I’m only wearing joggers, so I loop my thumbs into the waistband and push them down. When I stand straight up, her eyes bulge out at the sight of my cock, and she quickly turns as she covers her eyes with her hands. “I c-can bathe by myself. I don’t need help.” She stutters a bit. “I know that, but you’re not going to.” I climb over the edge and sink down into the water, “Aria, get your cute ass in here before I pull you in.” I can’t help but smirk at her shyness. Her actions only prove that she is still a virgin. As much as I don’t like sleeping with virgins, I would definitely make an exceptio
MERRICK I’m just coming out of my bathroom from showering, a towel still wrapped around my waist, when I hear a knock at my bedroom door and Jor pokes his head in, “What’s going on?” He asks as he steps into my room, closing the door behind him. “Oh, you know, just moping around, waiting for Knox to get his head out of his ass and take care of our girl, so we can finally get some.” Going to my closet, I pull a button-down shirt off a hanger and toss it on the bed as I go to the dresser for some underwear and jeans. “So, I’m not the only one going crazy about not having sex?” He chuckles. “Fuck man, I’m walking around with a hardon all day long!” I look down at the bulge in my towel. “Oh, I’ve noticed.” Jory snickers, “You know, I can help you with that.” I glance over at him for a moment, looking him up and down. He’s dressed in his usual t-shirt and ripped jeans with black combat boots on. He’s definitely a good-looking guy, but I love my women. Although, I h
I’ve been struggling to keep my emotions in check all week. As much as I love having Aria under the same roof, I can’t stop feeling betrayed, even after having her for dessert. Let me tell you though, that was phenomenal; she tastes divine, and I can’t wait to be between her legs again. Still, once it was over, the sting hit me once again. I don’t know why I can’t get over it. I know that it is my fault that we lost touch, and it’s also my fault that I kept my distance after finding her again. Call me a selfish bastard, but I still had hope that she would save herself for me. Sitting at my desk as I stare out the window, I watch the raindrops as they hit the glass and slither down to the bottom. It’s been raining all morning which does nothing to help improve my dark mood. On top of work and trying to figure out my feelings with Aria, my two best friends have been sulking around, sending me glares whenever they see me, because I haven’t slept with Aria. I’m grateful that they both de
KNOX (cont...) “What the fuck is that!?” I back away from the bloody box sitting on the front reception desk. All I saw was something round, hairy, and bloody before jumping back. “Umm, it seems to be David’s head, Sir.” Damon’s complexion is looking a little pasty as he refuses to look towards the box. “You mean David that just worked the mayor’s case that ended in bloodshed?” Both my hands are on my hips as I wait for his answer. “Why the fuck would the Moretti’s do this?” “Apparently, some of the men that David killed while protecting the mayor were two of the younger Moretti brothers.” Damon informs me. Well shit, this isn’t good! How many more of my men will be showing up here in just body parts? That case was bullshit from the start. You would think that being security for the mayor wouldn’t be too bad, but how are you supposed to know that said Mayor owed the mafia a lot of money and there was a price on his head? The mayor conveniently left that p
