There you have it, Merrick's story. Thank you so much for reading! =)
Bewitching Hearing Merrick’s story breaks my heart, and it explains so much as to why he is the way he is. If you don’t know his back story, then you will never understand the man himself. I’m seeing the real Merrick Kingston right here, and I think that I have already fallen in love with him. His kiss is the deepest emotional kiss that I have ever received from him. The fact that he never kissed his sub in the past, but he has me, tells me more than I had originally thought about him but this kiss right here...it’s with his whole heart. I pull him as close to me as I can, and it still doesn’t feel close enough, “Fuck me. Sir.” I mumble against his lips, but he shakes his head, no. “Please, I need you...” He pulls away from me just a little, “I want nothing more than to be inside of you Aria, but I can’t just yet. I will not allow myself that pleasure until I feel like I’ve been punished enough.” He brushes some of my hair aside and smiles down at me a little too sadly, “I h
Both Jory and Knox are in the dining room when we come walking in. Knox does a double take because normally, I'm to be kneeling already to wait for Merrick. Instead, he had caught up to me after my little admission when leaving his room and took hold of my hand, and that’s how we walk into the room. Jory on the other hand glares at his friend beside me, not liking that I’ve already forgiven Merrick. Yes, my back is sore, and he fucked up, but everyone is allowed to make a mistake and he is very remorseful. I will have to talk to Jory a little more later on. I had slept in his room last night, so Knox didn’t find out what had happened, and Jory took very good care of me. A chair scrapes and Jory stands up, “I’m going to head to the office,” He informs Knox and then steps up to me and presses his lips to my forehead, “Call me if you need anything, sweet girl.” I smile up at him, “Thank you for last night, and I will.” His shoulders relax a bit and then he walks out after giving a
I’m sitting in the window seat in my mother’s room with a book in my hand, but my attention isn’t on the words within. No, it’s on the thoughts running through my head. Everything that Merrick revealed to me earlier, including his love, has me reeling, and not in a bad way. I know that I’m in love with all three of them, but I’ve only just come to terms with the last two these last couple of days, and even then, I wasn’t quite sure if it was the real thing or just an extreme infatuation with them. Now, I know that without a doubt, I do love both Merrick and Jory as well. Glancing up to watch out the window, my mother’s nurse, Nikki, snickers, “You look like a woman in love, Aria. Mr. Hamilton is a great catch.” I study the other woman for a moment and then smile, “Yes, he is, but what makes you think that Knox is the one that I’m in love with?” “Well, I could be wrong, but he is the one who moved your mother here and is looking into her medical history to find out all the lies
JORY Walking in and seeing what my best friend was doing to our girl infuriated me. I couldn’t believe that he was that much out of his mind that he would hurt Aria. I know he will be beating himself up over it because that’s not who he is. I don’t rightfully know why he went off the deep end, but I don’t care to hear it because the fact is that he did, and nothing will change that. I took care of Aria afterwards, soaking her in a bath and then putting antibiotics on the welts that had split open a little. It’s not that it was really bad, I’ve seen him do worse on willing subs, but it’s the fact that I could hear Aria’s cries for him to stop and he hadn’t. As well as him using a whip on her, which is a hard limit. He dismissed all of his training all because something fucked with his head, and I can’t have him dominating our girl if he can’t remain in control. Watching them walk into the dining room hand-in-hand this morning, irked me to no end, I couldn’t stand to be in th
JORY (cont.) It hurts like a son of a bitch as Knox sews up the hole in my gut. Fucking Moretti, I’m personally going to gut him once we get our hands on him. He may have taken me by surprise this time, but he’s not going to get another chance. This one is on me; I let my guard down the moment I saw the Mafia Kingpin sitting in our waiting area. The nerve that he had to stab me the way he did at my own place of business, during business hours even. “So, are you going to tell me what the fuck Moretti wanted? Aside from stabbing you, that is.” Knox scowls as he finishes up being Suzy fucking Homemaker. “It was a warning, actually. You’re welcome by the way; he was expecting either you or Merk because I’m just the finance guy.” I scoff. “So, he came here to stab me or Merk...for what? What was his warning.” He cuts the end of the thread and then pours more alcohol over the wound, making me hiss. I glance at him, not really wanting to tell him what he wants to know but know
KNOX Once I have Jory all settled in and wait for him to finish his conversation with Aria over the phone, I go back out the south door and make my way around to the front. We had Jory tell Aria that he was flying out to meet with a potential client that wanted to negotiate numbers, and since Jory is our finance guy, we are sending him. Of course, she’s a little put off with him leaving without a proper goodbye, so I’m going to spend some one-on-one time with her. I’m stopped, though, just as I come through the front door, by Merrick. He truly seems to be in an anxious state over Jory, so I roll my eyes and indicate for him to follow me to my office. “What exactly happened? Moretti came to our business planning on stabbing me or you and instead got Jory because he was there? Why?” He’s pacing back and forth with his hands on his hips. “You need to calm the fuck down, alright. Jory is going to be fine; he just needs a few days to rest, but I’m going to need you to have y
Spending most of the afternoon in bed with Knox is heaven but something is nagging me, something that Nikki had brought up earlier. Do I bring it up now or wait until later, so I don’t ruin this time together? This is where my thoughts are as my head lays on his chest and my hands draw little circles on his stomach. His hand caresses up and down my back while we both take this time to recover from another amazing session in bed. “What are you thinking about, beautiful?” I feel his voice vibrate through his chest making me smile. “What makes you think I have anything on my mind but mush at the moment?” “You’re quiet. You always get quiet when you’re deep in thought.” There’s amusement to his words. I lift my head up and give him a soft smile, “It always warms me to hear you say things like that. You remembering almost every detail of our childhood makes me love you even more. “No, not almost everything; I remember everything about us growing up, Aria. I could never forget you, even
MERRICK I had to get out of there and I didn’t miss the look on Aria’s face, she was heartbroken. I just can’t bring myself to touch her like that again until I know that I can control it. I’m glad that there are three of us here for her because two of us are down for the count and she has needs, no thanks to us. We made her the cute little nympho that she is, and now two of us can’t help in satisfying her needs at the moment. With Knox keeping Aria occupied, I decide to go pay Jory a visit. I know why Knox told me not to come earlier; Jory refused to see me, I’m not dumb. Whether he likes it or not, though, I’m going to go check on him. Jory can be mad at me all he wants but he will never be as mad at me as I am at myself. “Good afternoon, Mr. Kingston.” Nikki greets me and I smile. “Good afternoon, Nikki. I’m just going to take a peek in on Jory. Has he been in much pain?” “He had just taken something right before he got home and went right to sleep once Mr. Hamilton and I clean
