Sky's P.O.V.A Week LaterTwo weeks have passed since the day my life turned upside down. Everything was going great between Zoe and me; we were content with our friendship, but that night changed everything. Now, no matter how hard I try, it's becoming increasingly difficult to resist Zoe.Whatever she does or wears drives me insane, and I can't stop myself from fantasising about her.My desire to touch and kiss every inch of her body, to taste her lips, to spread her legs, and to feel myself inside her grows more intense with each passing day.However, whenever I see her, I act normal. When it gets too hard to control myself and wild thoughts consume my mind, I give her the excuse of match practice or a business meeting.Zoe has been giving me space after my outburst. She doesn't question me much now. I still feel guilty for shouting at her when she was just trying to help me that day.I'm hiding the carnal desire I have for her to protect our friendship, but I fear I'm losing her.
Zoe's P.O.V. Two Weeks Later Finally, everything is back to normal with Sky. We've been spending more time together, and he's been less distant. However, I still sense that he's hiding something from me, but I've decided not to press the issue. I also can't get Selena's words out of my mind: that I should look beyond Sky. It's true—my life has revolved around him for so many years that if Sky gets too busy or distant, I feel lost. I've realized that I need to have a life outside of our friendship. The thought of looking beyond him feels impossible, but I'm trying. A few days ago, I started talking with a guy. He's in our college but in a different course. I met him in the library while I was searching for a book. His name is Liam, and he's sweet and kind. We've had a few coffee dates since then. Although I don't enjoy it as much as I enjoy being with Sky, it feels refreshing to have someone new to talk to. Now I know I can't let my happiness depend solely on him. Flashback As
Sky's P.O.V.Right now, my entire body is seething with intense rage as I watch Zoe dancing with that man, Liam.I sit on a bar stool next to Alex, gulping down whiskey, my eyes blazing with fury, fixed on Liam. It's a coincidence that Alex happened to come to the same club where Zoe and I are.The way Liam is holding her waist, pulling her close, feels like someone is ripping my heart out of my chest. I want to push him away from her, to claim what's mine, but I can't. Not without revealing my desire for Zoe, and certainly not without causing a scene."Getting jealous of seeing your best friend with another man? Amazing." As Alex notices my gaze on Zoe and Liam on the dance floor, a smirk plays on his lips."What the fuck are you talking about? Nonsense." I shoot him a glare.Even though he's right, I can't bring myself to admit it in front of him, especially since I'm not ready to fully acknowledge it myself."Nonsense, really?" He raises his brows at me. "But your look says otherwi
Zoe's P.O.V.I had always imagined my first kiss to be a tingling excitement, with butterflies in my stomach and a racing heart. But as Liam leans in to kiss me, I feel nothing—no flutter in my chest, no skipped beats, no spark or passion.I turn my face away, avoiding his lips. "Liam, I'm sorry," I say, gently pushing him back. "I can't do this."He looks at me, confusion and hurt written across his face. "Did I do something wrong?"I shake my head. "No. It's just that I want to take things slow. I hope you don't mind."His face softens, and he nods. "Of course, Zoe. I respect that.""Thank you for understanding," I say, giving him a small smile.Liam is kind and sweet, and I do like him, but why didn't I feel anything when he was about to kiss me? Maybe I just need more time.Liam had brought me to his place from the club to show me his library, which led to this moment.As we step out of his library, my phone dings in my sling bag. I take it out and see a text from Sky.As I read i
Sky's P.O.V.In the hospital, I sit in the wardroom as a nurse cleans the wound on my forehead. Zoe stands beside me, holding my two fingers like always, her worry etched deeply in her furrowed brows and her lips pressed into a thin line. Whenever she is worried or stressed, she holds my fingers like this.I'm relieved that Zoe is with me now, not with that fucking Liam. But deep inside, I feel guilty for deliberately putting myself in trouble and calling Zoe. I made her so worried about me. If she ever finds out that I intentionally did this, I'm certain it'll certainly be my last day on Earth.To be honest, I can't recognise myself now. I'm doing things I've never done before in my life. I can't believe I crashed my car because of jealousy.But I don't have any other option. I can't tell Zoe about my feelings right now because I'm scared of losing her forever. And there's no way I'll let any man get close to her. I'll do anything in my power to keep my Trouble away from Liam and any
Sky's P.O.V.At night, as I lie in bed, my mind swirls with thoughts of how to keep Zoe away from Liam. Every time I close my eyes, I see Liam trying to kiss her, and it makes my blood boil. I can't let that happen. I won't.Liam should never come to know the taste of Zoe's lips. Every inch of her body belongs to me, and I can't let anybody take that right away from me.I have to think of something because I can't be with Zoe twenty-four hours a day to keep her away from Liam.Running my fingers through my hair, I sit up, trying to think of a plan. I can't physically hurt Liam because that would only make things worse. But maybe I can scare him enough to make him back off.An idea strikes me, and I grab my phone and download a voice-changing app. I know what I'm planning to do is wrong, but desperate situations require drastic actions. I can't let Zoe get close to Liam, not when I've accepted my desire for her.Right now, I may not be able to tell Zoe how I feel and how much I desire
Sky's P.O.V.I watch from a distance as Zoe and Liam talk in the cafeteria. Every time I see them together, I feel such rage within me I think my mind will explode.Zoe is mine. Liam, you shouldn't have come between us.Zoe's concerned expression and his serious demeanour confirm my suspicions: Liam has told her about the call.I feel a pang of guilt, but I quickly shove it aside. I need to do this. Zoe belongs to me, and I won't let anyone dare touch her. My desire for her burns too brightly to allow anyone else to come near.Zoe gets up to leave, and my heart aches as I see the worry etched on her face. It hurts more because she is worried because of me. But I know very well how to comfort my Trouble."Hey, Trouble," I call out, approaching her as she walks away from the cafeteria.She stares at me, worried. "Hey." She glances at my bandaged forehead. "How is it?"How can I stop my heart from beating for this woman? She's just learned something serious, yet she's still concerned abo
Sky's P.O.V."What's on your mind, Trouble?" I ask Zoe. She sits beside me on the mat, her eyes focused on the water.Without shifting her gaze, she responds, "I was wondering what if Liam is lying to me."My brows furrow in confusion. "What do you mean?""Two days ago, I didn't let him kiss me. Maybe now he doesn't want me in his life, so he lied about the call to push me away." She finally turns to look at me, her eyes filled with uncertainty.The idea of Liam lying to her feels like a gift wrapped in guilt. It means Zoe is doubting him, and that's exactly what I need. But seeing her so conflicted makes me feel like a monster.Fuck! What am I becoming?I place my hand on hers, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Zoe, if Liam is playing games with you, he doesn't deserve you. You deserve someone who is honest and genuinely cares about you."Anyway, Liam doesn't deserve Zoe at all. He cowardly pushed her away after a single phone call. If I were in his position, I would have confronted t
James’s P.O.V.I wake up in the morning, feeling something different, something special about today. There’s a warmth in my arms—a presence I’ve never had before. I glance down and see her. Selena.A small smile instantly spread across my face. Her bare boobs are pressed against my chest and our legs are entangled beneath the comforter. I’ve never shared my bed with any woman before, but having her here, in my arms, feels so right. As I gaze at her sleeping face, I feel contented. I run my hand through her silky hair, admiring the angel. She looks so beautiful while she sleeps. I can watch her like this for hours. It’s so peaceful. Her gentle breaths tickle my bare chest, sending shivers down my spine and making me horny for her again. Last night, only I know how I controlled myself—how I controlled myself from not fucking her. My dick throbbed painfully inside my pants, watching her cum with her bra inside her mouth, her eyes closed. Fuck! That sight was heaven. As the image of
Selena’s P.O.V. I pant from another intense kiss. The memory of him kissing that girl in front of everyone still hurts. “It was just a dare, Selena,” he explains to me, a bit irked. “You were the one who forced me to play that stupid game.” “But you could have kissed me, not her.” I avert my eyes, showing my anger to him. He takes my chin in his hand and turns my face to him, making me meet his gaze. “I didn’t kiss you because I care about your reputation. Think about it—what would people think if I kissed you? And this...” He gestures between us. “What we have is our little secret, Selena. I never want to put you in a position where people will question you. I’m sorry if I hurt you. But that was never my intention.” His words make me look at him in amazement. The honesty in his voice and the way he thought about my reputation touch my heart. My anger dissipates like smoke, replaced by a warmth that spreads through my chest. No one has ever thought about me like this. Nobody has
Selena’s P.O.V. Mr Luther slowly stands up and walks closer to me, fixing his intense gaze on me. My heartbeat quickens with each passing second. Is he really going to kiss me in front of all the students? God! My cheeks are burning, and I clench my fists to stop myself from trembling. As he reaches in front of me, I glance at him with a shy smile before closing my eyes and waiting for his lips to touch mine. But it doesn’t happen. I open my eyes in confusion, only to see him leaning toward another girl sitting beside me. My eyes widen, and my face turns pale as he plants a quick kiss on her cheek. I can’t believe what just happened. He should have kissed me. How could he kiss someone else? Then he straightens and his expression is unreadable. The girl giggles, flattered, and I just stare at him, my eyes getting wet. I feel both hurt and anger at the same time, struggling to keep my face neutral. How could he do that? How could he kiss another girl? And why? I glance at
Selena’s P.O.V.After a quick nap, I wake up to find James working on his laptop, sitting beside me. His brows are furrowed, his sharp jawline clearly noticeable in the glow of the screen.How does he always look so effortlessly hot and handsome?I shake my head, trying not to stare, but it’s impossible.As my phone vibrates, I pick it up from beside me.It’s a text from Stella.Stella: Bonfire and dinner are ready.“Let’s go, Mr. Luther. Dinner is ready,” I tell him, getting up. He shuts the laptop and sets it aside after nodding.As soon as we step outside the tent, the mountain night air hits me, and I realise my hair is a mess from sleeping. Before I can fix it, James stands in front of me and smooths it down. A shiver runs down my spine, not because of the chilly breeze, but because of his touch. I gaze at him in admiration.The walls I’ve built around my heart—he’s breaking them so effortlessly.The words he said to me during trekking constantly ring in my head. ‘You don’t have
Selena’s P.O.V.After reaching the camping site, we get busy setting up our tents.In the midst of it all, Stella gets injured while working, and Alex immediately rushes to her side and sucks on her finger where she got hurt. It’s such a sweet gesture. I smile at them. They're cute. When they met, they were step-siblings who were always ready to fight with each other and look at them now—madly in love.But suddenly I feel a pang of longing. I crave that kind of love.Almost instinctively, my gaze shifts to Mr Luther.No. No, Selena. Just don’t go there. That’s completely wrong.I shake my head, trying to dismiss the ridiculous thoughts entering my mind. He’s off-limits in every way possible.Still, my eyes steal glances at him while he helps carry some supplies to the main tent. His shirt clings to his broad shoulders, and even in casual clothes, he looks so tempting. I force myself to turn back to help Zoe tie up her tent properly.Once our tents are ready, the three of us crawl in
Selene’s P.O.V.We reach our destination early in the morning, and the place is breathtaking. Mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, their peaks disappearing into the mist. I love it already.As usual, Sky, Zoe’s boyfriend, starts clicking pictures of her. She’s obsessed with posing for his camera, and they make the perfect pair. Stella and her boyfriend, Alex, are missing as usual. They’re probably sneaking off into the jungle for some alone time, and the thought makes me chuckle.Then my gaze shifts to Mr Luther. He’s standing a few feet away, his eyes fixed on me.Will he just stop looking at me like that? He is driving me crazy in every possible way. What he did to me last night... I can’t stop thinking about it. He made me feel so damn good, and I still can’t believe he made me come on the bus with so many students around. It was a thrilling experience. His fingers felt amazing inside me, and I can’t stop myself from wondering how satisfying his dick will feel.Fuck! My ch
James’s P.O.V.At night, on the bus, everyone is asleep except for Selena and me.“Put your backpack on your lap,” I order her in a firm tone. She looks at me with a confused expression with her brows furrow slightly.“Why? What is going on in your mind, Mr Luther?” She asks in a low voice to avoid waking anyone.I lean closer and whisper in her ear, “Just do what I’m saying or else you must pay consequences, Little Miss.” As I feel her shivering at my words, a smirk spreads across my face. I like the way her body reacts to me. It’s so satisfying.“I’m not afraid of your consequences.” Although she glares at me, I see a spark of excitement in her eyes.A chuckle escapes from my mouth. “You’re going to regret it, little girl.” As I lift my hand to open her jeans’ button, her eyes enlarge in shock. “What the hell are you doing?” She questions, holding my wrist. “Just trying to relax you. So that you can sleep well.” I give her a mischievous wink.“You don’t have to do that. Okay. J
James’s P.O.V.Not even waiting for me to finish my sentence, Selena hugs me with happiness when I grant her permission to go on the college trip. At first, I freeze at the unexpected contact, but then I automatically embrace her. The moment her small body fits perfectly into my arms, I feel completeness I’ve never felt before. The way her body presses against mine ignites a fire inside me.And I’m losing myself in the intoxicating scent of her hair. It smells so damn good. I don’t know why everything about her drives me insane.It’s been almost two weeks since she started living in my house. It’s so hard to control my desire every time I see her. She is so tempting, and there’s something about her that draws me toward her. I can’t resist this woman. The burning desire to fuck her and taste every inch of her body is driving me crazy.But I have to control myself. No matter what, I can’t force her. I have my ways to control and make women do what I want, but I can’t do the same with h
Selena’s P.O.V.After returning from college, I’m coming to Mr. Luther’s room to meet him. I need his permission for something, though I already know what his answer will probably be.These past few days, I’ve been trying to keep my distance from him. Our conversations are just exchanging pleasantries, just enough to keep things civil. I’ve obeyed his rules, coming straight home from college like he wanted, trying to avoid any confrontation.But I feel suffocated. I’ve always lived under rules—first my father’s, and now his. It feels like my life isn’t my own, like I’m just a puppet for everyone else’s expectations. I thought I’d finally be able to live my life on my terms for a month after leaving my father’s house, but I’ve only traded one prison for another. I can’t even go to college without security.I come to meet him to ask for something I’ve never had—permission to go on a college trip. I’ve dreamt of this moment since I was in school, but my father never allowed it. Now I’m p
