SCARLETTAs soon as Blake dashed towards a groaning Alex, my mom grabbed my arm harshly and yanked me out of the room.I tried to pull away from her grasp but she tightened it, murmuring obscenities under her breath as she nearly broke my bones and bruised my flesh from sinking her claws into me. No matter how hard I tried to pull away, she held on tighter until she pushed me into her closet room and slammed the door shut behind us.When I looked down at the bruises on my arm, I winced, my heart physically ripping to shreds at the fact that my own mother could inflict that kind of pain on me when she equally wasn't a saint.“For a blabbermouth that keeps acting like she is the statue of liberty herself because of some morals you won’t shut up about, it’s really bold of you to be spreading your legs for your stepbrother,” she spat angrily, regarding me with disgust.Those words cut through me deeply, especially seeing as she was trying to justify her fraudulent behavior by throwing my
SCARLETTWe arrived at Blake’s penthouse a while ago and I was sulking at the kitchen counter while he made me some coffee.I tried my hardest to focus on the thoughtful and kind man who was offering me his care and support when he should've turned his back on me, but it was hard to do so without my mind drifting off to the reason why we ended up in this messed up situation in the first place….My insatiable libido.Everything was suddenly upside down. All my fears were realized in one night because I sacrificed common sense for a moment of pleasure. I was officially the family whore in everyone’s eyes, and my mother had shown how much she truly despised me.I’d assumed that at this point in my life I’d be soaring on eagles wings as regards my career, but instead I was stuck between the conflicting emotions I felt for three brothers who should've been nothing but family to me.I wanted to console myself by convincing myself that those complicated emotions could be sorted out, that I c
LOGANNot again.Sometime around midnight, I started stirring in bed, awoken by the pain of my mate being in yet another man’s arms. Off the top of my head I knew the culprit was Blake because Alex was too injured to cross me again by laying a finger on her this soon.However, I was enraged at the fact that Blake had watched me nearly beat Alex to death and issue a warning that no one should breathe in her direction but he still went ahead to bed her on the same night.What did I have to do to make those assholes realize the severity of their actions? Would I have to mark Scarlett against her will so they’d know she belonged to me and only me?The sun was up now and no matter how many texts and calls I shot Scarlett’s way, she refused to speak to me or disclose her location. Even the mate bond wasn't able to pick up her location and the curse wouldn't let me comb the city to find her.I was dying to be near her, I’d forgiven her for sleeping with both my brothers in the same night eve
SCARLETTGod, Logan was a toddler with terrible twos, throwing tantrums here and there.“How about you leave here and stop causing ruckus everywhere you go? Wasn't the storm you stirred last night enough!?” I yelled, lucky that the empty cafe allowed me to fully express my growing anger at him.He moved away from Blake, his face falling at my reprimand as he took a few steps towards me.From the way he was scrutinizing me from head to toe, I couldn't tell if he was trying to gauge how I was faring or admiring my looks. Judging from the baggy joggers and hoodie I had on alongside my messy bun and eye bags, I could tell that it was the latter.I didn't let his concern for me serve as an excuse for his short tempered behavior though.“You’re slowly starting to make me hate the sight of you because you bring unwanted drama everywhere you go by thinking you can fix every problem by wielding your fists,” I continued when he remained silent, refusing to hold back in the slightest.I needed a
BLAKEHer skepticism was louder than my car engine, but I didn't probe for more because I had a clue what was bugging her.After the messy theatrics that blew up at home last night plus Logan’s audacity to storm into my cafe and threaten me just to see her, I could sense that she needed to get some steam off her chest. However, being as thoughtful as she was, she probably didn't want to rant about it to me because she figured it would be insensitive.While I didn't mind being her rock no matter the situation, I understood why she was holding back this time around. Anyone with their hearts in the right place would assume that ranting about her sexual escapades with my brothers and the repercussions would upset me and she wasn't wrong to think so.Nonetheless, I was willing to disregard the jealousy burning a whole through me about the whole situation if it meant I could offer her a shoulder to lean on at such a sensitive time.“Hey, are you coming in?” her small sad voice pulled me out
SCARLETTFour days later felt like an eternity away from the Vaughn mansion.After everything that had gone down, I needed some peace and serenity to breathe again so I couldn't bring myself to return to the Vaughn mansion. My emotional wounds were too fresh and they would rot and consume me if I stepped foot back there when they hadn't healed.My mom in particular made the past few days hell for me because she didn't allow me move past the revelations that came to light that night. Every passing moment she was hurling insults at me on various platforms, telling me that she regretted ever letting me into her perfect new life and she never wanted to see me again.Last night, I got pissed off by how hypocritical and self-serving she was being so I blocked her on every platform so I could finally breathe. Being the fucking fraud that she was, she had no right to judge me at every turn.Blake’s phone pinged loudly at that moment and I was pulled back to the present, realizing that I was p
SCARLETTSurely we both knew that it wouldn't end with that earth shattering kiss. Desperate for more of him, I took the bold move by pressing down the window buttons so we’d be hidden from wondering eyes by the tinted frames. “We’re thinking the same thing, right?” Alex pulled away, biting his lower lip in the hottest way imaginable while panting heavily. I couldn't be happier that he was yet again audibly requesting consent, it made the pool between my thighs heat up in eagerness to accept his hardened length that was pressed against my ass. “Yeah, we are,” I nodded, already reaching for his shirt and peeling it over his head to reveal his beautiful body. He swallowed hard, returning the favour by lifting my dress to expose my ass before slightly lifting me off him to pull his pants past his knees and reward me with the sight of his cock with a tip glistening from pre-cum. From now eager and pumped with adrenaline we both were, I could tell that neither of us would last long.
SCARLETT I woke up feeling reborn, amazed by the bravery that had enveloped me just a week after the unfortunate blowout at the Vaughn mansion. I’d sworn that it would take me months to step foot back there, but today, I was determined to stop hiding from my problems and face them head on. I no longer cared for my mother’s validation, so as long as the men who were actually affected by what happened didn't resent me, I owed it to them to hash things once and for all. The earlier I straightened things out and returned to normalcy, the better. To that end, I dressed up and headed out to meet Blake where he was plating breakfast in the living room. “Morning baby, I made your favorite,” his handsome face lit up with the loveliest smile, eyes twinkling with adoration that made my heart melt. “Morning sweetheart,” I pressed a kiss to his cheek when I reached him, “Can we head home when we're done with breakfast?” I dropped the bomb before I could change my mind about it. He stare
