Dark Obsession 9. Proper
~ SIERRA ~Colton’s lips were pressed on hers, gently coaxing her into a kiss. His lips were soft and he tasted like beer. Sierra couldn’t do anything but stay completely still. Her heart was beating so fast, it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.Colton’s hand then reached for her face and he deepened the kiss. For a split second, Sierra gave in to the temptation and closed her eyes. She had never kissed anyone before, she didn't know how it was supposed to feel. Kissing Colton felt kind of… nice. Her lips began moving instinctively, dancing with his, and somehow her stomach was twisting into knots. Wait, what’s happening!?Sierra’s eyes jerked open. She came to her senses and realized what was happening. She tried pulling away, but Colton’s hand was firm on her. He didn’t want to let her go, he only kissed her more. Sierra didn’t know what came into her, but all of a sudden, her hand reached up and flew across his face.* SMACK! *Colton froze like a statue. A red mar
Dark Obsession 10. Exchange
~ COLTON ~“Colton!” Jackson yelled as soon as Colton entered the house. “Where the fuck have you been?”“We were waiting for hours!” Levi followed suit. “You never came out there!”It was past 1 AM by the time Colton arrived home. He just came back from dropping Sierra off back at the Plaza. By then, he realized that Jackson and Levi were nowhere to be found and he had about a hundred missed calls and messages from them.“Yeah, something came up, I had to leave the party,” Colton said simply. He was exhausted after a long night. Ignoring the confused look on Jackson and Levi’s faces, he shoved past the two guys and went up the stairs.“You left the party?!” Jackson gaped, quickly following him upstairs. “Did they figure you out?” Levi asked.“No,” Colton shook his head.“You couldn’t get a clear shot?”“No,”“Then what?”Jackson and Levi ran fast and blocked Colton’s way. They stood tall with their arms crossed and their faces waiting expectantly. Colton couldn’t get to the second f

~ SIERRA ~“So, how much trouble did you get for ditching the party?”Today was Saturday morning and Rosie decided to stop by for breakfast since Sierra was pretty much grounded all week long. Her dad wouldn’t let her go out anywhere, and tonight was her meeting with Raphael. “A ton,” Sierra sighed and put down her croissant. She didn’t feel like eating anymore. “I thought he wouldn’t notice I was gone. He was busy in meetings with his friends anyway. But apparently, he saw the CCTV footage that I left with a guy on a motorcycle, so he went ballistic,” “You did what?!” Rosie gaped in shock.“Woof?!” Winnie, who was sitting under the breakfast table, barked in shock too. Sierra only shrugged and smiled sheepishly. Thanks to her dad and the bodyguards, news about her leaving the party with some guy was cleanly swept under the rug. The CCTV footage was also destroyed. No one was supposed to know that the perfect princess ever did something like that.“Hey, you can’t just drop a bomb l
Dark Obsession 12. Message
~ COLTON ~As promised, Colton stood waiting by the garden at the Plaza Hotel at 6 PM that evening. He was wearing a sleek black leather jacket and dark jeans. His jet-black hair was slicked to the side and his icy blue eyes were hidden behind those cool Ray-Bans. The sun was slowly setting over the city skyline and Colton glanced at his watch again. It was 6:02 PM.Colton wasn’t a new kid on the block when it comes to the dating scene, but there was something different about tonight that got him all worked up. He was looking forward to this day all week. He changed his shirt several times before settling with this one. And he even planned out the perfect evening, starting with a romantic dinner by the Brooklyn Bridge and ending with fireworks by the park. This date was bulletproof. Any girl would be swept off her feet, and he was hoping Sierra would too. Normally, he wouldn't put this much effort into a date, but since their first meeting was already so eventful, he felt the need to

~ SIERRA ~- - - - - ONE MONTH LATER - - - - -“Winnie, come on! I can’t be late for my first day of college!” Sierra was dashing around her room, pulling her sweater from the bed and a sock from the floor. Winnie was following her around, not wanting to go in her cage.“Woof!” he barked.“Come on, you gotta go inside. I’m gonna be late!” Winnie made a whining sound before slowly making his way into his little cage. Sierra haphazardly grabbed a scrunchie from her desk and tied her hair into a messy ponytail before closing Winnie’s cage shut. Even though he’s a good boy, he still couldn’t be trusted with the furniture around her room. Being in his cage was the safest place for him while she’s away. “Good boy, here you go,” Sierra cooed and threw some snacks into his cage. “I’ll see you, later, Winnie!”“Woof!”Rushing out of the room, Sierra raced down the stairs and to the door. Today was her first day of classes and she was too nervous about it, she couldn’t sleep last night. She
Dark Obsession 14. Invitation
~ SIERRA ~Sierra was dumbfounded. First of all, why was Colton here in Columbia? And how was he a teaching assistant? He never mentioned anything about being in college. Sierra’s brain was racing sixty miles an hour putting the puzzle together. For the rest of the class, she couldn’t concentrate on anything Profesor Howell was saying. She just kept glancing over at Colton, wishing the earth would swallow her whole.What is he gonna do? Would he be mad at me for standing him up on that date...?Sierra could only wonder how Colton must’ve felt when she didn’t show up for their date and she sent Rosie in her spot instead. She told Rosie to be as apologetic as she could when breaking the news, but Rosie was never known as the apologetic type. Hopefully she handled it well, but Sierra never knew.How am I supposed to act around him now? Should I say hi? Should I be friendly?While she worried about how to act around Colton, Sierra didn’t realize Professor Howell had finished his lecture o
Dark Obsession 15. Welcome
~ SIERRA ~“Hey, you made it!” Will was beaming with excitement as he opened the door and found Sierra standing in front of him. Behind him was the living room to the PG house, one of the oldest frat houses in Columbia. Sierra took a peek inside and noted the group of beautiful guys and girls standing around, talking, laughing, and dancing to the EDM music.“Yup, I made it,” she smiled back, shuffling rather awkwardly.“Come on in, let me show you around,” he gestured for her to come inside and she complied. Will even stretched out his arm to her waist, leading her inside, but Sierra reflexively stepped away. She wasn’t used to any kind of skin-touching and it really showed.“You okay there?” Will asked.“Yeah, I’m just… ticklish,” she smiled through the lie.“Oh, sorry,” Will muttered.“No worries,”Sierra didn’t mean any harm by lying, she was just a girl on a mission tonight. This was her first ever social event where her dad wasn’t in charge. Here, she could be anyone she wants an
Dark Obsession 16. Madness
~ COLTON ~A smug, winning smile was playing on Colton’s face. After all, he was Colton fucking Rhodes, player king of New York City. He wasn’t new into the dating game, and there was no way some virgin girl could beat him at his prime. Did she think he was mad that she stood him up? No, he didn’t get mad, he’d get even. “Mmhm, I’m so happy you called. I didn’t think I was gonna hear from you again,” Catalina purred into his ears as they reached the second floor of the townhouse. Colton stifled a smile and Catalina leaned for his neck, gently kissing and licking his skin.Colton met Catalina at a party in Columbia a few months back. They hooked up several times until Colton got bored and ghosted her. She was beautiful and sexy, sure, but she was also too predictable. She’d let him get away with anything and that was just too easy. Colton always liked someone with more resistance, someone more challenging.“I’ve missed you so bad,” Catalina whispered again, rolling her tongue on his

~ 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
