Dark Obsession 40. Question
~ SIERRA ~Sierra was running like there was no tomorrow. Her heels were getting in the way, so she took them off and ran barefoot across the streets of New York City. She pushed past all the drunk tourists and the cheering crowd, and even cut through Central Park to get to the Plaza Hotel faster. Even though Colton said he would wait for her, it was already past midnight. Who knows, maybe he had left already?Sierra was all out of breath by the time she reached the Plaza Hotel’s garden. Standing under the willow tree were three guys and Sierra instantly recognized one of them. The biggest smile curved up her face as she raced over to him. The guy lifted his head up and their eyes met. His beautiful blue eyes shone as bright as the moon when he saw her, and it made Sierra’s heart explode into a million pieces like the fireworks above.“You came!” Colton beamed, opening his arms to receive her.“I came,” she squealed, pressing her body into his embrace. She linked her arms tightly arou

~ COLTON ~“Colton, I… I love you. And I wanna do this with you,”For the second time that night, Colton was rendered speechless. This wasn’t the first time a girl has ever confessed their feelings to him, but this was the first time that it ever mattered. His heart had literally stopped beating, his breath was caught in his throat, and all he could do was stare at her.“Will you say something? Please?” she said again, looking up at him nervously.Did you ever have something so good happen to you that you didn’t know how to react? Well, this is happening to Colton right now. His heart never felt so full and complete. Life could end right now and he wouldn’t mind it.“Colton–”Before Sierra could get another word out, Colton pulled her into his arms and crashed his lips onto her. Her body trembled as he kissed her hard and deep, but Colton only held on tighter. He knew he could just say the words back to her, but it didn’t seem like it was enough. He needed more ways to express what he

~ COLTON ~Dawn was breaking outside the window. This bluish and orange light was creeping up the night sky, signaling the beginning of yet another day. Colton stirred in his bed and caught sight of the clock on the wall, 6:30 AM, it said. "Mmhm," Sierra mumbled as she felt Colton's movement. Colton turned his gaze to her, the beautiful girl sleeping soundly next to him. Sierra was passed out like a baby. Maybe last night took a toll on her? Last night was... a lot of fun, to say the least. Colton was getting hard all over again just thinking about it, replaying the events that happened in front of the fireplace. God, she's just so damn beautiful.Colton found himself staring and marveling at the sight of her. Her slender, naked body was covered partly by the flimsy satin sheet. He noted the curves of her body, the way her skin glowed under the sunlight, and how her cheeks were flushed in a beautiful shade of pink. After he spent a long time just staring at her, Colton felt the ne

~ COLTON ~“Someone had a great night last night,” Jackson snickered as Colton entered the house. He was sitting on the chair next to the couch in the living room, and Levi was sitting on the chair next to him. “Y’all pretty much ruined the couch,” he added with a playful grin, motioning to the bloodstain marking the leather couch. The blood had dried up and it was pretty much a permanent stain at this point.“Screw the damn couch,” Colton rolled his eyes lazily and threw a blanket over the mark.“Took you a while, but you finally did it,” Jackson stood up and started clapping his hands. Then he strode over to Colton and put an arm around his cousin’s shoulder. “I gotta hand it to you, Colt. You handsome son of a gun!”“Mind your own goddamn business, Jack,” Colton shoved Jackson away and walked towards the stairs. He thought it was juvenile that Jackson was celebrating him getting a girl’s virginity like some frat boy in a fraternity.“Hey, don’t get pissed off at me. We flew a damn

~ SIERRA ~- - - - - ONE WEEK LATER - - - - -Sierra laid in her bed with her eyes glued to the clock on the wall. With each second that passed, her heart was beating faster and faster. The time was now 11:59 PM. In just one more minute, the guards in her house would be changing shifts, so it would be the perfect time for her to slip out and escape.Why does she need to escape, you may ask?First of all, it had been one whole week since she last saw Colton. Second of all, she was missing him like crazy every day, it was getting unbearable. If it were up to her, she’d come over to his place every chance she could. Unfortunately, her dad was still watching her every move, and school was still on break, so she had no excuse to go out. There were also no big parties to attend, so Sierra had to come up with a way out on her own. “12 AM!” Sierra screamed internally as she watched the clock change.Not wasting another second, she threw open the blanket covering her body and revealed that sh

~ COLTON ~- - - - - TWO WEEKS LATER - - - - -“Congratulations on your graduation, Colton,” Dean Monroe said as he shook Colton’s hand. Behind them, hundreds of students in light blue caps and gowns were cheering and laughing happily, hugging each other and taking photos. It was graduation day and the great hall in Columbia was filled with all the graduates and their family and friends.“Thank you, sir,” Colton said as he shook the dean’s hand back.“I think your father would be very proud of you,” Dean Monroe continued.“I sure hope so,” Colton said with a smile.The dean nodded his head at Colton one last time before moving on to congratulate some other students. Colton stepped aside from the stage and stood in a quieter area. Unlike all the other graduates there, he didn’t invite any of his family or friends, not even his cousins. None of the people in his family understood why he came back to Columbia when he should be leading the family’s company instead. Inviting them over her
Dark Obsession 46. Academia
~ COLTON ~“Fucking hell!" Colton groaned as he stroked himself empty.“Oh my God,” Sierra was panting breathlessly as she turned around to look at him. “That was… crazy,”“Yeah, it was,” he laughed in agreement and reached for some kitchen towel. He put hot water over the towels and wiped her thighs first before wiping himself.“Thank you,” Sierra said with a smile. But then, she saw the clock on the wall and her expression changed. “Uh-oh, I gotta go. But I’m gonna see you on Monday, right?”Sierra was supposed to be home ten minutes ago, so she was now haphazardly putting her clothes back on and straightening her hair. Colton also pulled his pants back up, but he didn’t bother putting his shirt back on.“Yup, and the student affairs department’s throwing a welcome-back party for all the freshmen. You should drop by,” he said.“What time is it?”“Six,”Sierra finished putting herself together and used her phone’s camera to check on her appearance one last time. Feeling satisfied, sh

~ SIERRA ~- - - - - THREE WEEKS LATER - - - - -Time passes by so fast when you’re having fun. That was certainly the case for Sierra. As soon as school started, she was sucked into the rhythm of hanging out with Colton, studying for her classes, and hanging out with Colton some more. It might seem like a lot, but I suppose that was what couples do when they’re in love. No matter how much time they spend together, it was never enough. Several weeks had passed since the start of the semester and Sierra was enjoying herself. For the first time in her life, things were aligned. She felt like a real girl doing real things. She felt like she belonged there, working hard to achieve her dreams and doing life with the person she loves by her side. Having lived the life she led, Sierra had tasted many luxuries in life but nothing compares to the feeling of loving someone who loves you back. Especially if that person was Colton. The most wonderful, daring, adventurous man who can make her fee

~ SIERRA ~- - - - - THREE YEARS LATER - - - - -The grand hall of Columbia University buzzed with excitement and anticipation as the graduating class of 2020 gathered in a sea of caps and gowns. Sierra found herself among them, surrounded by the familiar faces of friends and classmates. The air was charged with a mix of emotions, and Sierra can't help but feel a surge of sentimentality as she reflected on the journey that brought her to this moment.Wow. I can’t believe I’m really here, she thinks to herself.The journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. Sierra thought back to the late-night study sessions, the sacrifices made to balance parenthood and academia, and the unwavering support of her amazing husband. As she sat, waiting for the commencement ceremony to begin, her mind replayed the moments that defined the past few years.It’s nothing short of a miracle, really. From the first time she met Colton at her birthday party, to the time he took her on “magic carpet ride
Dark Obsession 96. Moon
~ COLTON ~Colton had already decided that one of the best things about being married to Sierra was watching her walk around in just her underwear.It was early evening on the last day of their honeymoon. They had spent most of the day at the beach and, after they had both showered, they had set about starting to pack their suitcases ready for the journey home. Colton was lying on the bed, having sorted and packed most of his clothes. Sierra had showered after him but had only partially dressed. She was padding around their bedroom ferrying clothes back and forth to the suitcase wearing only a rather cute set of matching light pink bra and panties.With that job done, Sierra went to put on a dress ready for dinner."Damn,” Colton muttered.“What?” she asked.“You’re just so gorgeous, princess," Colton said, shaking his head from side to side. “Oh, stop,” Sierra blushed and rolled her eyes."I’m telling you, all the guys in the restaurant -- when you wore that dress the other day, the
Dark Obsession 95. Honey
~ SIERRA ~The wedding was one crazy blur of a moment. It was something like a movie. Or a dream. Sierra felt like she was being whisked away from one place to the next. There was no time to stop, the momentum just kept going. Right after the ceremony was over, Colton had a helicopter prepared on the rooftop of the Plaza Hotel. Still wearing her wedding dress, Sierra got into the helicopter and they flew to the bright, blue sky.“It’s only for the weekend,” Colton said to her. “Just you and me,”Sierra had no idea where they were going, and she didn’t bother asking. Maybe it was the champagne in her veins or just the complete reckless abandon she felt whenever she was with Colton, but she was down for any kind of surprise with him.The next thing she remembered, Sierra woke up, unclear at first about where she was. But then she remembered...the huge bed, the smart room, it felt like a holiday resort, and it must be... The Hamptons. Yes. She was the brand new Mrs. Rhodes on her honeym

~ SIERRA ~- - - - - THREE MONTHS LATER - - - - -Summer was coming to an end and the weather was getting cooler in New York City. Sierra walked out of the Columbia campus library with her two friends, Anna and Jess, from the American Lit class. They had books piled up in their hands, making it hard for them to walk down the steps.“Thank God it’s finally Friday! I’m so done with writing for now,” Anna said.“I know. I can’t wait to put these down and go to McSorley's for drinks,” Jess replied.“Are you coming with us, Sierra?” Anna asked.“Oh, I’d love to, but I gotta go check on my baby,” Sierra flashed them a sorry smile. “Dang,” Jess muttered. “She’s the best writer in our class and she’s a mom. What can’t she do?”Sierra let out a laugh and shook her head.“I’ll join the next one. Enjoy your night, you guys,”Sierra waved one hand goodbye while using the other hand to keep all her books together. The school session was in full swing and work was starting to pile up. Luckily for
Dark Obsession 93. Sunshine
~ COLTON ~Colton was smiling from ear to ear. How could he not? He was looking at his beautiful fiancee and the healthy baby boy they have. Sierra was holding baby Seb in her arms, rocking him back and forth to get him to calm down. Baby Seb had stopped crying and he was now giggling at the funny faces Sierra was making. Colton couldn’t drop his smile as he leaned his head against the doorway to the nursery. Nothing in the world could bring him this much joy and feelings. He was the luckiest man in the world, and he never wanted to take this moment for granted.“I think he’s bored, he just wants to play,” Sierra commented, studying the look on her baby’s face.Colton could stand here and watch her play with baby Seb all day. Sierra made such a great mother. She had that motherly instinct. She knew exactly just what the baby wanted by looking at it. “Maybe we can take him to the beach?” Colton suggested.“That sounds fun,” Sierra nodded her head eagerly. “Wouldn’t that be fun, Seb?”
Dark Obsession 92. Summer
~ SIERRA ~- - - - - ONE MONTH LATER - - - - -“Attention everyone!” Colton said as he clinked his champagne glass with the knife. He was standing in the middle of the long table and Sierra was seated next to him. All around them were beautiful flower arrangements, candles, and a gorgeous feast. They were enjoying a wonderful birthday lunch for Sierra in Colton’s summer home in the Hamptons. All of their closest friends and family were in attendance, including Henri, baby Sebastian, Rosie, Ethan, Levi, Jackson, and of course, Winnie.“I just wanna raise a toast to my beautiful fiancee on her birthday today,” Colton said as he turned to Sierra. Everyone’s eyes were on them and they were ooh-ing and aah-ing. “Baby girl, you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I don’t know if any of you know this, but Sierra and I first met on her birthday two years ago. Thank you for falling out of that window and letting me catch you,” Sierra let out a laugh and everyone else did too. “I lo

~ SIERRA ~- - - - - TWO WEEKS LATER - - - - -“Breaking news! Last night, in a surprising turn of events, members of the Rothschild family, Raphael Rothschild and his father, Nathanael Rothschild, one of the wealthiest and most prominent families in New York City, were arrested by the CIA in relation to a shooting incident in France…”Sierra was sitting on the couch in Colton’s penthouse apartment when she saw the news on the TV. Baby Sebastian was asleep in her arms and she was rocking him back and forth slowly. She reached for the remote and raised the volume up, but not too much because she didn’t want to wake the baby up.“The CIA was first tipped off by the French National Police when a shooting occurred in the outskirts of Paris several weeks ago. In the shooting, Raphael Rothschild, the youngest son of the Rothschild family was injured, along with twenty other men of Russian origin. At first, the French police arrested Henri Ascott, another prominent man of New York City’s eli
Dark Obsession 90. Venerable
~ SIERRA ~Dark. There was nothing but darkness for miles. Sierra couldn’t see anything in front of her. The last thing she remembered was seeing Raphael holding a gun to Colton's back and she jumped as fast as she could. The loud piercing sound of the gun cut through the air and that was it. Everything turned dark after that. Sierra didn’t know how long she was out for. Sometimes she’d see flashes of light. She could also see the faces of people leaning in front of her. First, it was Colton, but then there were people that she didn’t know. Seeing that they were wearing masks and uniforms, maybe they were nurses or doctors. They were also speaking in French. She didn't know what they were saying, but they looked worried, so she got worried too."Colton..." she kept calling for him. "The baby..."Colton and the baby were the only things in her mind. Sierra didn't even care that she was bleeding out, lying on an operating table. She kept calling for his name over and over, until the nu
Dark Obsession 89. Wake
~ COLTON ~The police siren rang loudly in the background as Colton speeded away. Sitting in the passenger seat, Sierra was groaning and writhing in pain, and blood kept dripping from the side of her stomach. Damon glanced at her every chance he could, and every time he saw the blood pooling on the seat and dripping to the floor, he felt sick to his stomach.“Col…” Sierra tried to speak, but she was too weak.“Yes, princess, I’m right here,” he shakily put a hand on her, while still trying to focus on the road. “Co…”“Ssh, don’t speak, it’s okay,” he cooed. “You’ll be alright, I promise,”Colton’s eyes were welling up with tears. His voice cracked as he spoke. He couldn’t bear looking at her like this, writhing in blood and pain. And not just that, he didn’t even want to think about the baby. If something happened to her or to the baby, he wouldn’t know how to live with himself.Luckily for Colton, after a short drive down the hill, he saw a small hospital with an ER sign. Using all
