Caught Between Enemies Chapter 16 Confession
Selen's POV I ran until my legs could take no more buckling beneath my body, I collapsed. My lungs burned and my stomach cramped. I was on the hard ground under a dim streetlight hunched over into a ball trying to catch my breath and ease the pain. I had ran for miles, with no destination, no plan in place. I had no idea where I was or what I was going to do. The cool air caressed my sweaty skin, bringing me the first sign of relief since I bolted out that door. Tears spilled from my eyes as I sat on my knees. My body rocking and shaking violently as I finally began to release my feelings into the world, unable to hold back anymore. I have no indication to how much time passed by while I sat there sobbing like a baby in the still night. All the questions of why my father would do this to me? How could he be okay with the way he did this to me? Did he expect me to be happy about this, about the man he chose to force on me? So many questions with no answer hung heavy on my heat pulling
Caught Between Enemies Chapter 17 An Entirely Different Future Awaits
Selene’s POVI’ve been sitting at this table for the last thirty minutes staring down at my fork as I move food around on my plate. My father is sitting at the head of the table and Pierre sits across from me. The two have been going on with their mindless conversations the entire time and my father hasn’t noticed I have yet to take a single bite of my food. I’ve only half listened to their conversation as they try to pull me in to talk with them multiple times. In all honesty I don’t want to be here, and I wish they would get the hint. Jamie steps into the room to remove our salad plates and replace them with the main course. After she serves my father and then Pierre, she makes her way to me. Her brows lift then furrow as she takes my full plate and sets down the dinner she’s prepared. The look telling me she did not just slave over this meal just for me to waste it. I simply shrug my shoulder in response. As she heads back to the kitchen, I return to moving the food around my plate
Caught Between Enemies Chapter 18 The Visitors
Selene’s POV“Desmond, what a nice surprise.” My father says as he stands from his chair, welcoming Desmond to join us in the sitting room. Desmond’s eyes shift from mine to my father before his lips pull into a small smile.“Evening Mr. Delray.” Desmond responds politely.“Oh, there’s no need for formalities here.” Dad waves Desmond into the room. “Please, join us. You remember Pierre?” Dad reintroduces as Pierre stands to shake Desmond’s hand.“Nice to make your acquaintance again.” Pierre tells him before sitting back on the couch, making room for Desmond to sit next to him.“You too.” Desmond says before looking back to my father.“We were just enjoying Selene playing the piano for us. You remember how talented she is, right.”“Of course, I remember.” He agrees, shooting me a warm smile.“She is practically a prodigy. She surpassed everyone in her age bracket, and three of her instructors.” My father gloats. Sitting back in his chair as he gestures for Desmond to sit.“What I’ve h
Caught Between Enemies Chapter 19 Miscommunication
Selene's POV Desmond turns to bolt to my room ready to fight. I grab onto his arm stopping him before he gets out of reach. His muscles instantly relax under my touch. I step in front of Desmond grabbing his hand as I lead him to my room. Leviathan steps back inside then plops down on my bed. I look to Desmond warning him to behave before shutting the door behind us. “What the hell Levy!” I whisper yell at him. “You scared the shit out of me! How did you even get up here?” “He climbed in through your window.” Desmond confesses as we both look to him confused. “I saw him climbing the wall earlier.” “That’s cute Selene. You have your own personal peeping tom.” Leviathan laughs. “You’re trespassing, breaking into her bedroom in broad daylight and have the audacity to call me the pervert! What are you doing up here anyways going through her panty drawer?” Desmond snaps. “Rest assured if I was the peeping tom would know first. Perched up on his window binoculars in hand.” “Stop it, b
Caught Between Enemies Chapter 20 The Secret
Desmond’s POV I am sitting at the base of the steps in the dark eavesdropping on my parents’ conversation coming from the kitchen. Well, it’s more of a quiet argument than an actual conversation. The tension in the air between the two of them has been thick sense leaving the hospital. Although, my mother has been doing her best to put on a brave face and comfort Selene. The worry and sadness are still visible in her eyes. She doted on Selene throughout the car ride and after we got home, until Selene finally fell asleep in the guest room. My parents hadn’t exchanged a single word until fifteen minutes ago when this quiet argument started. I came downstairs to get a glass of water from the kitchen and decided it wouldn’t be good to interrupt the two of them. So, here I sit, in the dark stairway, listening. “I’m just saying, Lola, it’s a bit suspicious Williom locked his medical records from everyone. Except you.” My fathers voice carries through the room. “Keep your voice down. Sele
Caught Between Enemies Chapter 21 First Time For Everything
Desmond’s POV“Please.” Selene’s voice quivered with desire as she begged.I didn’t have to be told twice, and I sure as hell wasn’t going to keep her waiting. I captured her lips with mine as my tongue found hers. My hands gripped the hem of her baggy shirt as I pulled it off her body. Our lips parted only for a moment as her shirt slid over her head. My heart pounding in my chest so loud I was certain she could hear it. My hands caressing the smooth skin on her back as my fingers found the clasp to her bra. Clumsily fumbling for a moment as I struggled to unhook her. Selene’s impatient fingers met mine as she flawlessly undid the clasp in one quick movement. I pulled away to take in her perfect body tossing the bra to the ground. Her large tits on full display in front of me, nipples hardened by the cool air in the room. I cupped her left breast in my hand as I began a trail of kisses to her hardened bud. Squeezing it gently
Caught Between Enemies Chapter 22 Lovers In Bloom
Selene’s POVI laid in bed secured in Desmond’s arms as he nuzzled into my body holding me close against his bare body. My heart still pounding against my bare chest so hard it might burst out of my body. I focus on catching my breath as I try not to think about if Desmond can see the blush in my cheeks or the silly grin I fail to wipe from my lips. I just lost my virginity to the most amazing man I have ever met, the boy who stole my heart, the only person in the world I truly trust to keep my heart safe. I’m still reeling from all the sensations he brought to my body and soul, the euphoria I never imagined was possible to feel. Every ounce of stress and tension my body held so tightly over the last twelve hours completely vanished from my muscles.Desmond’s body shifts beside me as he sits up on his elbow, I turn my head to meet those beautiful pools of sapphire. He leans down to press his swollen lips to mine sending delicious tingles throughout my body. His body leaves mine as he
Caught Between Enemies Chapter 23 Full Circle
William's POVA year ago, September"How are we doing today Mr. Delray?" Dr. Baxter enters the room as I sit on the table nervously. Over the last month I've spent more time than I would like in this office. Not to mention offices of specialists, and various labs undergoing more tests than a lab rat. I'm anxious to get this all over with because I am sick of being poked and prodded at constantly. If it wasn't for Selene's busy schedule I know she'd begin to suspect something is up with me by now."Anxious Jim. Worried you're going to send me off for more tests." I confess nervously. Jim pulls up a chair and sits in front of me as he looks over the medical file that's become thicker in his hand."No, William. There will be no more tests." He says with a sigh. "Have you told Selene yet?""Of course not." I huff. "I've nothing to tell.""William, you have been through a lot these last few weeks. It is important to have the support of your loved ones. You need Selene just as much as she n

I'm terrified someone will call with the worst news and I will have to live knowing I wasn't there for my father in his final days. Lola is consistent with the vague updates."The doctors say he is showing some improvements, they are hopeful he will be able to be woken up soon."It's always the same line. I have it memorized like it's a verse in a song. Pierre calls and texts me often asking when I will fly to him, but he too withholds information from me. He is adamite I fly to France in order to see my father but won't disclose his condition. Still using the marriage as my only saving grace.

Caught Between Enemies Chapter 26 The Trap
December Williams POV"What makes you think Selene will agree to this?" Naomi asks skeptical as she places a folded shirt into a suitcase."Because she knows how I feel about this. It is no secret it never has been." I retort as I zip my carryon bag. "All I'm saying is I was a teenage girl once, and I personally wouldn't have appreciated being trapped into a marriage with such an older man." She gives me a sideways glance before double checking she has her passport and ticket. "I would have rebelled against it." "I finalized all the details in my will. There is no room for her to go against me. She will have to be married for 1 full year before she can get any of her inheritance, and that only gives a portion of the full amount.""You realize you are basing this on her caring more about money than she cares for you or any other person? Selene doesn't seem the materialistic type from what I've seen.""I didn't imply that! She will need financial support regardless of the situation.
Caught Between Enemies Chapter 25 The Process
Selene's POVHer pale blue eyes shift from mine as her smile fades quickly. Fuck. That was harsh. She wipes away a tear before it has a chance to fall. "I'm sorry." I blurt out realizing I was out of line. "I didn't mean it like that. I just""No." Lola clears her throat. "Don't apologize. It was insensitive of me. I just feel so helpless and thought a distraction would help pass the time faster.""You aren't insensitive. I'm just flustered. You have been nothing but helpful. I didn't mean to take my anger out on you."Lola's warm fingertips wipe at a tear I hadn't realized fell from my eye. Then she pulls me in close while hugging me tightly. Lightly drawing small circles on my scalp with her long nails. "My heart breaks for you Selene. Trust me I hate that you have to go through all of this again. I promise you I am here for you no matter what. If you need a punching bag, I will take everything you got. I will never hold it against you." Lola promises me. I know she means it. Wh

William's POV"Wow." She whispers as her rosy cheeks lift with her smile. "I finally get to see those brilliant grey eyes everyone was boasting about. And here I thought they were just trying to poke fun at me."It has been eight days I have been gone and as promised by the nurse Dr. Augustine has sent word I will be going home tomorrow. Luckily there was a bad storm that passed through the other day and grounded a majority of flights to and from the US. Selene believes that is what's kept me longer than planned. She was also told my cell reception was affected by the storm and texting was the only way I was able to communicate. My nurse has been quite busy playing me on my cell and keeping Selene from worrying. I feel bad she has been such a help to me, and I still don't know her name. I haven't spoken since I began this whole thing and honestly I'm worried using my vocal chords will cause me pain."Good afternoon William." Dr. Augustine greets as he walks into the room flipping thro
