Chloe’s POVI raised an eyebrow, staring back at him. As I watched his eyes trail down to my curves, running through the designs of the dress I had on. “I knew it was bad!” I scoffed, turning to leave but then he responded.“Keep it, it’s good!” My eyes widened as I stared back at him like a gaping fish “O-okay,” I managed to splutter out. Never had I thought I’d hear those words. Most especially from him. A smile tugged at my lips as I had my back to him, trying not to believe that he’d just made a really good comment over my very first outfit.Amazing!!…“Fine,” I said and then hurried back into the dressing room.A couple of minutes later, I stood by the closet staring at the other expensive dresses, not knowing what else to pick. My mind pauses as I seemingly have a new dilemma.My heart wanted to go for more casual wear like my skinny jean
Lucas’s POVIt was almost as if I’d heard wrong but then all I could do was look away. I could also tell from her already reddened cheeks that she’d found that obviously embarrassing.The slight ping of my phone snapped my attention away from her as I stared at the screen wondering what it was.My phone vibrating in my hand, alerts me to the fact that my peace has very quickly come to an end.I glare at the phone long and hard, wanting to ruin the person that ruin my peaceful morning. My chest clenches at the sight of the message I’d gotten.‘Way to go mother’ I grunted under harsh breaths tossing my phone to the side.Unfortunately the board had arranged for a meeting with more business allies. Men I knew so well hated the company. And were only specific about their benefits, most especially because most men .Glancing up at Flynn, I couldn't help but smile at how engrossed
Lucas’s POV“What did you just say to me?” I growled, with my hands slowly rolling into a fist as I stared at him. Wanting to be sure I’d heard him correctly.“You heard me Lucas,” Fernando snapped back.“I mean what would even cost in having those papers signed, making this project in particular a success,” He added. A smirk tugged at his lips as he stared back at me.“Fernando. Do you think it all works out that way? It simply reeks of desperation. A man should know when to stand down,” I shot at him.He smirks, his lips curved with an arrogant tilt. “Desperation?” He snorts. I take a step closer, lowering my voice to a dangerous growl. “You heard me,” His expression hardens, “We’ll see about that then,” He glances down the hall with a cocky grin.I grit my teeth glaring at him. I mirrored his arrogance and whispered into his face. “Don’t let it get to your head,”
Chloe’s POVIt took a moment for me to register exactly who was in front of me. The dark, artfully styled hair. The stubble shading his chin and chiseled jaw. Surprisingly this time he had on a tortoise shell glass that framed his face perfectly. But it was those eyes—-ones that for some reason made my heart trip and pick up its pace as I immediately recognized his sharp, angular features. Saying he was gorgeous was the understatement of the century.“I didn't see you there,” I said.His hands came around me immediately, it was pretty dark, and how I knew he was the one, was beyond me. It must have something to do with his scent. It was the most heady thing I had ever perceived, in a long time and I couldn't help taking a deep breath whenever he was around.I felt the change in him the moment I saw him. The look on his face was different. Though he was still incredibly handsome
Lucas’s POVA stinging ache at the center of my forehead precedes the movement of my eyelids. Showing the first glimpse of a blurry ceiling over me.I realized I was no longer in the hallways like I’d pictured from the night before. I remember throwing myself before…Fuck, Chloe!!…The ruffling of the soft sheets makes a crinkling sound as I open my eyes fully. The surprisingly sweet scent of this perfect girl overwhelmed me as I breathed her in. I could never put my finger on exactly what it was but it somehow felt soothing in my head as it wafted over me. I ran my hands down the back of her sweater as she lay peacefully in my arms. Her eyes shut closed.My eyes trailed down her delicate throat where the heart-shaped pendant, I’d gotten her was settled between her collarbones. A pulse point beating fast, then down her generous tits which were nearly spilling out from the dress she had on. I coul
Lucas’s POV“I'm Alexander Smith,” The man said with an obvious fake smile creased on his face as he approached my desk.I had an eyebrow raised staring back at him, without responding. My eyes trailed off to the file he had in one hand and the other he had shoved into the pockets of his pants.“Can I?” He added as he gestured to the chair in front of me. But then the look I gave him, made it quite clear that he was interrupting the thoughts in my head.“What brings you here Mr…” I said.“Alexander!” He cuts in, grinning at me.“Smith,” I responded, and then averted my eyes like I’d gotten disgusted over his response.“Such lovely day isn’t it?” Alexander said. Breaking the silence between us as I had my eyes glued to the screen of my laptop.“Proceed,” I said, gesturing to the file he was holding. Knowing he’d come for business and not for some silly chit chat.“Such successful thin
Chloe’s POV“I said get the fuck out of my house, you’re leaving!” My father's familiar voice echoed in my head as I tossed restlessly in bed trying to get some sleep. “Please, Dad!” My responses from the night it had all happened resurfaced in my mind. I clenched my fists to my sides feeling overly tortured by the disturbing images of what had happened on that night.Being a child, growing up in a stable home in the suburbs of Charlotte, North Carolina. I never really done anything on my own and while I had a decent high school experience. I was ready to get away from everyone I’ve known all my life. Which was the exact reason I had ended up at the popular UNC college.My fingers clamped around my dress, as I tightened my eyes shut trying to hold back the urge of those memories flooding through my head.“Come here, I said you're leaving and don't you dare…” His voice reechoed over and over again in my head.
Chloe’s POV“Open up Flynn, we’re just going to check to see what’s in your mouth okay?” A female nurse tried convincing Flynn, who actually fell for it. She etched closer to him in my arms, and then she had a torch shun into his mouth and began her examination.Right after that, they had his vital signs checked, and in a couple of minutes it was all a wrap. I stayed in the hospital ward bed, with Flynn still curled up in my arms as I rocked and hummed him a tone trying to put him to sleep.I ran my hands down his sweater, and then gave him a soft peck on the forehead just when he had his eyes shut.‘He’s so cute,’ I thought to myself as I sat silently watching him sleep.The room door cracked opened, I gesture for the person coming to keep it down, When Flynn stop fussy, I lift my eyes up to see who had come in and found Lucas staring back at me. He had his hands shoved into the pockets of his pants as he stared back at me.I swallowed nervously seeing the look in his eyes wondering
Chloe’s POVI ran a hand through Flynn’s hair as I watched him sleep, his eyes shut closed tightly and hands wrapped around me. My eyes wandered off to the clock, which had been beeping for what seemed like a couple of minutes and I couldn't help but wonder why Lucas wasn't back yet.A lot swirled in my mind as I lay next to Flynn in bed. Memories from when he had held down my hand staring into my eyes. Making the walls around my pussy tighten with ease.I hated how it was that I couldn't take off those thoughts in my head, that all I suddenly wanted was to have him locked in between my legs. I blinked away the unwanted memories lurking at the corners of my consciousness as I snapped back to reality.I lay in bed staring in deep thought at the chandelier above Flynn and me. Most of my body was still excluding my eyes blinked every second or so and the constant rising and falling of my chest. Although my state seethed calm, inside I was a bundle of emotions. Millions of thoughts ran
Lucas’s POV“What the fuck are you doing here?” I grimaced, shoving both hands into the pockets of my pants. I found him staring at a painting on the walls of my office with a smile creased on his face.I tightened my fist, fighting back the urge to attack him from behind making sure to have him leave with a broken nose.“Mr Salavatore!” He said, grinning the minute our eyes met. “How long has it been?” Alexander added, picking up one of the aesthetic pieces on my desk as he ran a finger over the glassy design.“What do you want?” I shot at him. Knowing he was here for no good reason other than him causing a scene.“Won't you at least ask that I sit first and we could talk,” He said, with a smile creased on his face as he stared back at me.“I’ve got other better things on the line Alexander!” I growled.“Like babysitting Chloe huh?” He responded, and just when he did he giggled as if he’d found all that was happening funny.“I'm going to give you the opportunity of giving a response
Lucas’s POV “Fuck!”“I just said that out loud without even thinking,” I thought to myself as I stared back at her.I slowly hated how it formed a nut in my chest, sending various chills down my spine from looking straight into her eyes.“Our contract doesn't apply to us prying into the other's life!” Her voice rang in my head cutting through the thoughts in my head. “So long you're under my roof, you're mine to keep!” I grimaced. This time, I leaned closer than usual, with my hands wrapped around hers as I had it pinned slowly to the bed.“I'm not an object!” She glared at me.“I never said you were!” I yelled back at her.The only downside was how distracting Chloe was. How it was that if she talked for too long I always for some reason got lost in her voice instead of listening to her words. And every time she moved the faint waft of her perfume from across the room clouded my thoughts.My eyes lingered on her eyes as I fought down the urge to let it settle where else, just when
Chloe’s POVA migraine made it's way to my head as my eyes fluttered opened. Just when I did, I realized I was right in a moving car. The loud honking of the cars surrounding us washed away my sleepy state. I leaned my head against the car window, with one hand over my temple trying to remember how on earth I’d gotten into a moving car.My eyes trailed off to the side to find Lucas typing away on his laptop. “W—what happened?” I asked, breaking the silence in the room, still holding onto my head. Feeling a bit lost in how I’d gotten into Lucas's car.“You passed out,” Surprisingly, Lucas responded.“Where are we?” I added.“In a car,” Lucas responded in a rather duh tone, with his eyes still glued to the screen of his laptop.The migraine I felt a couple of seconds ago worsened and I just couldn't understand why it suddenly felt that way.I tried to move but my body felt too weak to even be able to move a single muscle. I shook my head trying to fight off the migraine. I gripped my
Chloe’s POV“You bet!” I said, giggling alongside as I grabbed a glass and then chugged it down my throat without even a second thought as to whether or not my actions were smart.“Good girl!” Greg called out with a smile creased on his face as he chugged his as well.“Wanna dance?” He asked. “I guess,” I responded as he had me dragged to the dance floor where the other college students were having fun as well.I swayed my hips relentlessly to the pop music in the background as I felt a hand over my waist. But for some reason, I didn't mind.Pulling furiously at my ever-riding dress, I danced to the rhythm of the music in the background. The smell of booze instantly attacked my sense of smell. As I continued, my eyes scanned the dance floor and the phrase “Packed like sardines,” sprung into my mind.“More shots?” Greg yelled into my face. A little lost on what he said, I nodded. Finding it increasingly hard to maneuver around the sweaty bodies, I proceeded to push my way through the
Chloe’s POVA glance at my watch tells me, I only have thirty minutes left until Monica comes yelling from the front door of Lucas’s mansion. Asking that I go with her to the party.Which also happens to mark the beginning of the weekend as well. “Fuck!” I grumbled, staring at the clock.My phone chimed, bringing me out of my momentary daze and I scrambled around in my purse trying to find it. The minute my hands landed on the device I had it picked up almost instantly. Staring at the screen of my phone, I realized she was the one calling. Monica…“For Christ's sake Monica, do I have to go with you?” I yelled the very minute I had the call picked up. “I’m just going to get into trouble with Lucas and me arguing over some dumb college party,” I added. Just when I did, there was a pause. And then came her voice.“Are you insane?!” She yelled.“I mean, girl!” Monic
Chloe’s POVThe continuous buzzing of my phone in my purse snapped me back reality. Realized how far gone in my thoughts I’d been a couple of minutes ago.I reached for my purse almost instantly as I had it picked, came Monica’s voice from the other end of the call.“It's almost as if you've forgotten me,” She said. I could already tell from the sound of her voice that she was pissed.With all that had been happening these past few weeks, I’d barely had the time for a quick girl’s chat and our usual hangout, and that had gotten her upset.“I'm Sorry Monica, you know how parenting can be,” I responded, but then she went mute almost instantly as if trying to understand better what I meant.“Parenting?” She cuts in, finally breaking the silence between us.“Still, I'm mad at you,” Monica said.“I know, I'm sorry,” I responded.“You're going to have to make up for that still
Chloe’s POV“Dad no!” I yelled, and jolt up to a sitting position. With one hand clamped to my chest as I panted for air. My eyes darted around to find that I’d been in my bedroom all along, and was having those usual nightmares of my father from the past.The soft knock on the door distracted me from the thoughts in my head. I walked lazily to the door to have it opened. The very minute I did, Flynn surprisingly on the other side of the door pulled me in for a hug with a smile across his face.“Hi Mom,” His tiny innocent voice filled the void in my head, I leaned closer pulling him for a tight hug as well.“Hey baby,” I responded, shocked at how he’d gotten to this house.“Good morning Ms. Chloe,” Aurora, Flynn’s personal help from the other mansion greeted. “Morning Aurora,” I responded, with a smile creased on my face as I waved back at her.“Breakfast is ready,” She added.“M
Chloe’s POVThe unease in my stomach swirled faster as realization dawned, slow and horrified, across my face. Seeing that Lucas was standing right behind me.“L—Lucas,” I stuttered trying to figure out how on earth he’d been able to track us down to the restaurant. And even for the fact that he’d ignored all the paparazzi right outside the hotel and had chosen to walk in.“We’re leaving now!” He cuts in.A pang hit my chest, at his direct order. But all I could do was just to stay frozen on a spot not knowing what else to say or do.“What makes you think, you can just come in here and have our wonderful dinner interrupted?” Alexander said.“Plus we just got started, am I right,” He added and this time placed a hand over my wrist as he met my eyes with a sardonic smile. A storm of emotions clouded Alex’s eyes, and I resisted the urge to pull my hand off the table into my lap. Instead, I had my eyes glued to the meal in front of me knowing there was bound to be a show and even worse,
