I glanced at the vanity mirror for what seemed like the millionth time to check whether the sleek long black over the shoulder knitted black dress, I had chosen to wear was okay. This was one of the recent purchases that Hayden had gifted me, and I loved it so much. I would love to say that it was one of the fancier dresses I now owned.
My heart was racing fast, the palm of my hands drenched in sweat. I did not find the reason as to why I was this nervous. Calm down Bambi, it is your best friend's dad you are meeting, not the damn mafia! I tried to comfort myself.
My eyes were trained straight on the deliciously plated steak that was placed before as I waited for the rest of the three-tier meal to get set onto the grand foyer. I did not dare risk gazing at Lillie’s direction as I was afraid that she was going to see through me. She was going to see the secrets that I was trying so hard to hide from her. I sat across her father with her sitting beside him, and colins’ to my right. My body was still in the midst of recovering from what we did earlier, the thought of Lillie almost catching us left a dire thought inside my body. I was still shaken up, and the thick tension in the room did not help either. "Excuse me", Lillie's voice helped slice the thick tension in the room as she got everyone to stop caging themselves in their own little world and redirect their attention to her. I meekly lifted my gaze, before stealing a glance towards Hayden, who was watching me like a hawk, not an ounce of discreteness to him. My face flushed with embarrass
I stood there in contempt, trying to reclaim my sanity out of the sheer respect for my friend whom I looked up to as brother. But to hell with respect! My need for her was too solid, and I would have been deemed a liar if I said that that didn’t worry me. Soundlessly, I turned the doorknob ,giving myself entry into her space for the night. I was immediately engulfed be her powdery and flowery scent. It was all over the room, wrapping itself like a thick cloud but there was no sight of her. My eyes fell for the strewn trail of clothing giving me all the answers I needed to know, however my unbottling need became fuelled once my eyes caught the sensual lace thong scattered right at the entrance of the shower room. “Don’t do it man, don’t give in” my subconscious tried to warn me but I was too far gone, to far gone into this alien desire, my arms acted before my brain could register the action. Grabbing the pink thong, I inhaled the musky scent that was still strong, clasping itself tig
“I miss you too baby, and I can’t wait for the moment I see you again” My eyes flattered. I just wished that they were lying to me and that the text message was not true. Sitting on top of his notification bed, was the message that was a confirmation to all my nightmares; a message from Bianca. I knew it, it was all too good to be true. Him coming on to me like that, it was just a way for him to forget about her. Like always, I was the one they ran to, the one they took it out on a nd I-, sighing I turned off his phone, pretending not to see the brightly red, heart shaped emoji standing next to her name as I waited for him to finish getting ready so that we could attend the dinner he had just reserved for our date, and after that I don’t think there would be another one.” “What do you mean Bianca, I told you she and I are divorced!” He looked totally confused as he tried to approach me, but I put my stance up. “Oh yeah, then why was she texting you that she misses you!” He paused
“Hayden, we cannot keep doing this. I can’t keep doing this to my best friend. You are her father; it is a line I shouldn’t have crossed in the first place!” I was infuriated with myself, and desperate but alas! The man wasn’t even listening to me. I watched him as he slowly put his coat on, his hair still wet from the shower, oh he was fine! But that was beside the point. It was still at the crack of dawn, and I was pretty sure that majority of the mansion’s occupants were still asleep. I wrapped the sheets tightly around my body, feeling vulnerable all of a sudden, even though he had pretty much seen all of me. His eyes were like a storm of emotions, as he slowly ravished me through the mirrors’ reflection. Thinking that he was ignoring me, I called out to him to which he only just nodded. “This should be the last time Hayden...I can't do this anymore...” I trailed, unsure of the complications that laid before me as I made the mind shaking choice. But finally, my conscious could s
“You do know that you are mine right." My throat clogged as I heard those words coming from his mouth. I was almost close to retorting back to his statement as he whispered the words to my ears. ‘Yes, technically I was his. But it was only for a moment, until he got bored of me and moved on...and I did not let my mind drift to whatever the other woman would be or look like. I quietly on his hard yet soft muscled chest, his scent mixed with that of sweat and sex tingling my nostrils, my body still in profusion from the millions of lovemaking sessions we had done after returning back to my house just a minute ago. Lillie by now would have landed safely back in Paris. Even in her absence, I still did not fail to remind myself of just how taboo my relationship was with her father. His large gruff hands wrapped around my neck as he brought my attention to his. " I will never let you go, so don't you ever think about leaving me! " His words were soft, yet I couldn't fail to miss the red un
Plumes of smoke enfolded the sky as the dire fumes sent everyone into a coughing frenzy, but he remained still. Watching the house that held countless and irreplaceable memories for him as it became torched down to the ground from the ablaze of fire flames, should have pulled a gravitating reaction from him, yet he remained still. It was a wonder why the abiding surburban homes were left untouched, but it had to be accepted the old English Victorian esq house was long gone, despite the numerous fire fighters' efforts of trying to put down the fire. The flames only grew gigantic and monstrous. Of course, they would make sure that it was unrestorable. Convinced that there was a lack of he could do, he retracted from the background as he got back to his vehicle before his driver veered away from the scene. There was only one answer; HIM! ********************************* The paddle of my steps was the only sound to grace the ears as I heeled and toed my way towards the main show room.
I closed my eyes trying to close the door to that painful memory as I brought my dark eyes to older counterpart. I would kill him! “Do you wish for me to remind you once again of what is at stake if you start doing all these nonsense, or shall I return you to the torture rooms, just like the old times huh!” His menacing laughter added salt to the injuries I long thought were gone but I guess they weren’t. I was no longer that weak boy he would bully around and get to do his bidding. No, I was far much better than him. Or so I told myself. I got ready to leave the dark suffocating room, as the old man was clearly not ready to talk and give me a straightforward answer, not that I thought he would. The deed had already been done and he had already set the time to the ticking bomb. “When are you going to introduce me to that filth of yours? You have been spending a lot of time with her as it seems, meaning that she means a lot more to you than just a sex toy, doesn’t she?” I paused, a
The cold air greeted me as soon as I opened the doors to my home reminding me of his absence. The scent of him was slowly fading from the little articles of clothing he had left behind and I dreaded the day it would be all long gone. Lillie’s words kept on ringing clearly in my head all the time, like an alarm but it was already too late. I had feelings for him. I had feelings for the guy who paid me to prostitute myself to him. I numerously tried to deny myself of what I felt, claiming it was only lust I felt for him as he was the first man, that had ever shown interest in me, that I had ever been with but, I couldn’t deny the happiness he brought to me anytime we were together. I felt safe with him, whole if you would say it. He gave me opportunities that I would have had to move mountains to get them. He was my... daddy? Even the thought of that word set fire to my loins. It had been long since that part had been given attention. It did give it time for it to rest as it was alwa
Gingerlocks and Her Three Bears It was supposed to be one day; a one-time thing but- I no longer know what am doing anymore. I was just going to shoot some content with my friends, then go about my day, I swear! That was the original plan. But then, shit happened. The rain, the wolves, losing my friends... and now, I’m surrounded by three hulky men, who are all hot and primal and determined to never let me go. I call them bears because they are humongous! I mean, just look at them. I am nervous, I don’t think that all three of them can fit yet, my heart flutters like a caged bird, so fast and rhythmically to the beats of anticipation and excitement. I am thrilled... and am so going to get ripped. Yes, I am going to get ripped! I know it is wrong. What will people say? My supporters! My career is on the line and there are already nasty rumours floating around about me, and now this! But surprisingly, that doesn’t bother me. To be seen with all these alpha males; my three bears, who
“Adrian! Hayden?” I called out frantically to my four-year-old and husband. I continued searching the vast expanse of the sprawling mansion that was our Italian holiday home, my eyes dotting arounds in the hopes of finding them. ‘Where were they?’ I asked myself. One minute, they were with me in the bedroom, patiently waiting for me to get our three-year-old girl ready and the next minute they had completely vanished. The ginormous mansion did not make it easy for me either. “Chiara, hang on to mommy okay. Let’s go find your dadda!” I cooed softly at my little bundle of joy. Her mesmerizing grey eyes shone brightly as she gave me an ear to ear grin happily throwing her arms in the air. Shifting my body to accommodate her small frame in my arms, I kissed her cheeks before resuming my search for my other child and husband. “Dadda! Dadda!” Chiara continued chanting softly, her eyes on the lookout for her favourite human, her dad! She was such a daddy’s girl, even I sometimes got a litt
“You are leaving?” Lillie asked sadly as she watched me finish packing my bags. Her look was so disheartening, I felt guilty knowing that I was leaving her alone even though she was going through a lot; with her pregnancy and the break up. She hadn’t told me the full story yet, but I suspected that there was another woman involved from the little glimpses of her history she had given me. However, I was still glad, with the help of the therapist we had gotten, she was starting to be herself once more. Hayden was at first adamant when I suggested the idea but after a slight push he agreed. “Yes,” I looked at her with pity. “Listen, if you want I could-” “No, no, noo!” She cut me off, grabbing my hands. “You have already been through a lot, you need a break.” She lovingly hugged me, her hands making sure I never moved a spot. “It is okay, don’t cry. I will always facetime you everyday.” “I know! I know! I am just going to miss having you physically, but you promise you would be back, r
“You sent her here, pregnant! Are you nuts!” I yelled at the metallic phone, the end speaker sighing in regret. “I know, I know- but she insisted and you know how she is.” I breathed to calm myself down. If he wasn’t my dear friend, I would have murdered him by now. “You know brother you do not need to worry, I know how to take care of my woman. I am always right behind her.” He said with sadness in his voice which made me question, what the hell was up with them. I had definitely noticed the tension and longing in his voice, even though he thought he had carefully hidden. “What is going on between you two? Hang on!” I said, cutting off the line as I had noise approaching the mini office I had at this house. “Yes!” My heart rate calmed down a bit when I noticed that it was just my Bella. “Bambi! My love, what are you doing here?” I asked as I stood up to go and embrace her, she just gave me a tired smile before coming to sit on my lap. It had been a week ever since that incident, a
The air hung heavy with palpable discomfort. Each passing second, felt like it had stretched to an eternity. I pulled my dress further down as if it wasn’t low enough already. I refused to stare back at Lillie's eyes. I did not want to see the betrayal in them. The ground was interesting enough for me. “Hey, how did you know I would be here?” Hayden broke the silence as he went ahead to embrace his daughter. “Collins told me,” Lillie answered, distractedly as I felt her blue orbs pierce through me. “He shouldn’t have done that. That was a dangerous mistake after he knew what this night was abou-” “I know,” Lillie cut him off, “I was the one who insisted. I wanted to come and comfort you!” Her blue eyes were back to me, questioning me. “How long had this been going on?” Lillie asked, the question directed at me. I pulled my eyes away from the ground as I returned back her stare. Oh my God! I had hurt her. Her eyes were teary, as she looked at me in betrayal. “Lillie, I swear-”
In the hazy realm between wakefulness and sleep, I could hear loud creaks from a distance. I found myself drifting like a passenger in a moving vehicle, the sensation of motion pulling me further away from consciousness as if journeying to some distant destination. To where, I do not know. I slowly woke up, feeling groggy, only to find myself sitting on a man's lap. Startled, I let out a loud scream and fell backward onto the floor. My heart raced with confusion and fear. "Shh... Calm down my love, you are safe now" I heard a voice say softly, pulling me out of the so-called fog of thought. Cold but hard hands patted me softly on my head pulling me back up, in turn I could feel my nerves unwinding. “Hayden?” I softly called out meeting his beautiful green eyes. They were lowered, watching me attentively and concerned. His eyelashes formed a curtain over them, partially hiding the mesmerizing shade of green. If only he could fall back lower. I thought to myself, then I would get a
His men were all stoic, showing no sign of emotions on their faces as they guided me to who God knows where. I keenly took in all the doors and corners of the hallways, hoping that I would eventually get a chance to gain my freedom back. However, that felt like a dream, considering the hasty pace the men were walking. In a jiffy, I was being pushed inside a room that looked similar to where I had been imprisoned before but much smaller. The other ten? If I had counted properly went ahead to surround all the corners of the damned small room, making it seem much smaller that it was already. The others remained outside. Holy molly! How was I going to get out of here, if the security was this tight! Ryan, who I presumed was their boss now, went ahead, perusing and scrutinizing every corner and invisible dust speck, before nodding his head satisfactorily. I guessed that this was where we would be staying for the night. The atmosphere was silent among us. Not a word, not even a buzz of a
When, they came back, not a minute later, the worlds had turned. Hayden was no longer the one in restraints, instead, Lorenzo was, and he was laughing! “Well done! Well done son! Just like how I taught you! Never let them know your next move!” He congratulated, smiling ... proudly? The men in the room had also been replaced, basing my judgement on the unfamiliar faces. “Where had the others ran too?” I inquired myself, blinking my eyes several times to get used to the new found light. It was not after a minute, that my eyes caught on to the lifeless bodies, lying on the floor with a hole on their heads. One who was next to me, had his eyes wide open, but they looked lifeless. I screamed at the horror before my eyes, my heart skipping beats. I felt like vomiting, as the acrid metallic smell of blood and death was too much too handle. I could feel the two pairs of dark eyes, molesting me, with a click of disdain following me. “She doesn’t know who you are, does she?” I could hear Lor
“Well, Well...well,looks like you two have finally met. The chloroform was not that strong after all.” A rich and harmonious voice graced my ears, with it vibrating at the end as it closed the distance that was between us. The sound was so well spoken and warm, if I didn’t know any better, I would have been entranced by it, hoping to crawl towards it for warmth. However, I could also sense the extensive cold undertones, tones that were so sinister yet hidden carefully within that soothing voice. I do not know why, but suddenly my heart was running a mile. It felt like, at any moment, it would burst from my chest. My body had also gone cold, seemingly the blood that was running in my veins had been wiped dry. The air also felt sinister, it was as though the devil himself had joined us. My head ambivalently shifted towards the frame of the man that had just made his presence, wondering whether it was wise letting him see my fear. What met me, the moment my eyes reached his eyes, was
