Zoe's P.O.V."Bend over there now, Zoe." My eyes widen, and my heartbeat accelerates with anticipation at his sudden command.I'm still in shock at what's happening between us. Sky took off my top and touched me like no one else ever has. Overwhelming pleasure! That's the only thing I felt when he squeezed and nibbled my breasts, sending waves of ecstasy through my body.Whatever is happening between us feels like a wild dream because I never thought that one day I would be naked in front of Sky, and he would take me to heaven with his touch.God! Life is truly unpredictable.Right now, I'm standing topless in front of Sky, my best friend, and everything feels so right at this moment. He has some sort of magic that makes me feel comfortable in every situation.I've never been this exposed in front of any man before. Instead of feeling embarrassed, the way he looks at me makes me feel desired—cherished, even. My skin tingles where his hands and lips had been, and I can't deny the growi
Sky's P.O.V. "What? Are we leaving?" Zoe asks in an irritated tone when I straighten her skirt.I pull her closer to me by the strings of her front-tied crop top. "What else do you want, Trouble?"Although I'm aware that all she needs right now is my dick buried deep inside her, I ask her anyway, watching the frustration and desire in her eyes.Her breath hitches, and she bites her lower lip, looking up at me with pleading eyes.Damn! This woman is so irresistible. I can't even express in words how hot she looked bent over the desk a few minutes ago. I've seen many women like that, but none have ever had this effect on me."Tell me, what do you want?" I repeat, moving closer to her."I..." she stammers. "You know what I want, Sky."I smirk, loving the way she looks so desperate for me. "I want to hear you say it, Zoe."She hesitates for a moment, her cheeks turning red. "I want you," she finally admits, her voice coming out as a whisper. "I want you inside me."I become hard at her w
Zoe's P.O.V.As Sky and I dance, his hands continue to move over my body, sending shivers down my spine.I feel his breath hot against my ear as he murmurs, "God, Zoe. You have no clue how long I've been dying to dance like this with you. It's an incredible feeling."I close my eyes, leaning into him, completely lost in this moment, my heart racing.He spins me around to face him, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that takes my breath away. "Trouble," he whispers, framing my face with his hands. "When you went on a date with Liam and I saw you dancing with him, I boiled with anger. Only I know how I controlled myself. It was so fucking difficult to hold back my desires."I'm still in disbelief over his jealousy that day. Honestly, I didn't feel anything for Liam. But with Sky, I feel truly alive, and I get butterflies in my stomach."You don't have to control your desires any longer, Sky. I'm all yours now," I speak, looking into his eyes deeply.A satisfied smile spreads a
Sky's P.O.V.The day after the party, college is off, so I go to meet Zoe at her apartment and bring her to my penthouse. I want to do something special for her. I can't even express in words how happy I am to have Zoe in my life again, with everything between us even better than before. I'm so excited to finally make her mine today.I take her directly to my art room, a place filled with paintings of Zoe that I made when I was controlling my desire, especially when she was pushing me away.As we step inside, Zoe gasps in amazement. Her eyes widen as she takes in the dozens of paintings lining the walls, each one capturing her in different moments and moods.As she admires the paintings, I gaze at her with eyes full of intense desire. She looks so hot in those blue rugged shorts and a white shirt tied up over a tank top. Now, every time I look at her, I wonder why I never noticed before how irresistible and beautiful she is. I can't take my eyes off her."Sky, this is... incredible,"
Zoe knows very well that it drives me crazy when I imagine another man touching her, but she still teased me. How could she do that? I think she deserves a lesson so that she'll think twice before teasing me again. With a swift motion, I turn her around and pin her front body against the wall. "I was thinking of being gentle with you, Zoe, because it's your first time. But you seem to love trouble in your life, right?" I ask in her ear, grasping her hands behind her back. "But don't worry, I have my ways to control you, my Trouble." A smirk spreads across my face as I pull the belt out of my jeans and fasten her wrists with it. She explains, "Sky, I was just kidding." I spin her toward me and grab her chin, locking my dark gaze with hers. "It might be a joke to you, Zoe, but you don't understand how much it drives me crazy to even imagine a man touching what's mine." "Sky..." she begins, but I cut her off with a stern order. "Now shut up and kneel." Her eyes widen in surprise a
Zoe's P.O.V.Sky cleans my face with his handkerchief and helps me into his shirt after driving me insane with extreme pleasure just a few minutes ago.My legs are still quivering, and my clit is throbbing after my first intense and mind-blowing orgasm given to me by a man."Fuck, Sky! That was the best orgasm of my life," I exclaim as he closes my shirt buttons like a gentleman. Who would guess that just a few minutes ago, he was ruining my mouth with his dick?And oh my God! His dick was so huge. When I saw it, I felt a lump in my throat, thinking, how could I take it? But somehow, I managed, and the look of satisfaction on his face made every moment worth it."It's just the beginning, Trouble." He gently tucks my curtain bangs behind my ears. "You have no idea how much more I want to give you."His words send a shiver down my spine, and I smile. The tenderness in his touch is completely opposite to the intensity we just shared, making my heart flutter. He was so rough with me, and
Sky's P.O.V.The Next DayI pull up outside Zoe's apartment to pick her up for college. She hops into the car, greeting me with a wide smile. "Hello, my boyfriend. Did you miss me?"Miss her? It's only been a few hours since we parted ways last night, but it feels like an eternity. I want her to stay with me now."Miss you? Not at all," I answer in a teasing tone, starting the car and hitting the road. "You drove me crazy last night, making me snap thousands of photos of you."She frowns at me. "That's how you greet your girlfriend, Sky? No kiss, no hug, just start teasing her, hmm?" She raises her brows at me.I chuckle, pulling her cheeks. "No, that's how I greet my Trouble."Her frown deepens, and she sits back, folding her arms across her chest. "You're so bad." Her lips purse into an angry pout.Our teasing and banter are the best parts of our relationship—something that has always been there between us, but now it's laced with deeper affection."Alright, Trouble." I pull the car
Zoe's P.O.V.I sit in the classroom, lost in thoughts of Sky, resting my chin on my hand. I can't believe that today I'm moving in with him to his penthouse. We'll be together twenty-four hours a day—waking up and falling asleep in each other's arms.God, I'm going crazy with excitement.I return to earth as Selena snaps her fingers in front of me, sitting beside me."When did you come?" I ask, surprised to see her."When you were engrossed in daydreaming about your Sky." As Selena calls Sky mine, my heart flutters and my lips curve into a grin. "Finally, you have accepted that you both are meant to be more than just best friends."I nod, feeling happy from within. "I was afraid that dating Sky would ruin our friendship, but thankfully, that's not the case."Now I wonder, why did I ever think our relationship would ruin our friendship? Nothing can ever break the deep bond we share.Selena smiles, leaning closer. "So, tell me everything. What's it like being his girlfriend? Any major c
Alex’s P.O.V.“I love you more, Alex.”These words are like a lifeline, pulling me out of the storm I’ve been drowning in. I can hardly believe my ears. For so long, I’ve waited to hear those words from her lips.Suddenly, all my pain disappears, and the only thing I feel is immense satisfaction. Stella’s confession means so much to me. It means she is finally ready to give me her heart completely. She trusts me. She is giving love a second chance.I stop walking, frozen in the moment. All the darkness, the guilt, the fear—it’s still there, but her words make it bearable.I glance down at her in my arms. Did she really say it? Or is my mind playing tricks on me?Carefully, I lower her to the soft sand near the water, the waves lapping gently at the shore, their sound as peaceful as always.I cup her face in my hands, brushing her cheeks with my thumbs. “Say it again, Please, Stella. Say it again.” I request, fixing my eyes on her.Her eyes are filled with immense affection, and she sm
Stella’s P.O.V.“Please don’t regret for a second for killing that monster, Stella. You’ve freed your mother from the unbearable pain. You have no clue how relieved I am. Thank you.” My mom expresses her gratitude when I lie her down on the bed at night in one room of Alex’s beach house.After my mother was discharged, nobody wanted to return to the place where we used to live with that monster. My mom has so many painful memories tied to that house, and I killed the monster there. Alex didn’t want any of us to be anywhere near a place haunted by his memories. So he made the decision to bring us here instead.I tuck the blanket around Mom. I’m glad I gave her peace, but what about the weight I carry now? The monster is gone, but the trauma of killing someone is unbearable. And I can’t share it with anybody. Alex and Mom, both are dealing with their pain. How can I burden them with mine when they’re already struggling to heal?“Mom, you don’t need to thank me,” I respond, sitting on th
Alex’s P.O.V.The next morning, I’m still seated in the waiting room of the hospital. Stella and I spent the entire night here, though sleep was a stranger. The load of everything that’s happened is suffocating me. I’m still trying to digest that my father was a monster who caused suffering to Stella’s mother. It’s like a nightmare to me.“I can completely understand what you’re going through, Alex.” Sky breaks the silence. He sits beside me. Stella is with Zoe and Selena inside her mother’s room.I know he can feel my pain because, a few months ago, he also discovered the evil deeds of his father. Since then, he’s been working tirelessly day and night to become stronger than him so that he can put his father behind bars.I glance at him with sorrowful eyes. “How did you do it, Sky? I mean, how did you even begin to understand the fact that your own father was… like this? I don’t know how to move forward from here. You know I feel like I’m stuck, drowning in shame.”Sky leans forward,
Alex’s P.O.V.I feel so lost. Completely lost.When the doctor informed us about the condition of Stella’s mother, I felt like killing my father. How could he torture someone to this extent? Why couldn’t I ever see his true face?Before Stella’s mother, did he torture other women? Did he also hurt my mother?My chest tightens with immense pain as I sit outside Stella’s mother’s hospital room, lost in thought. How can I face Olivia, knowing that I carry the blood of the man who hurt her? How am I supposed to promise her I’ll keep Stella safe when my father inflicted so much pain on her? Will she ever be able to trust me?I stare at the floor, fists clenched, and try to steady my breathing. Thoughts revolve endlessly around my mind: Did I somehow miss the signs? Have I been blind to my father’s true nature all my life?The truth is, I don’t know who he is anymore. I don’t know who I am anymore. And worse, I don’t know how I’ll prove to Olivia that I’m not like my father—that I would rat
Stella’s P.O.V.I sit with Alex in the waiting room as the doctor treats our parents. Alex has been completely silent since I told him the truth about his father. That truth has shaken him deeply.On one hand, my heart aches for him, and on the other, for my mother, who has been suffering for who knows how long. Why did God make her endure the same pain she had in the past? Why didn’t she tell me?Alex’s hands are clenched tightly in his lap, and his jaw is tense, as though he’s fighting an internal battle. I can’t blame him. He would have never imagined his father would be a monster.This entire ordeal has taken so much out of both of us. But for Alex, I know it’s different. His world has been turned upside down in a way I can’t even begin to imagine.I glance at him, his face pale and his eyes distant, as if he’s locked away somewhere I can’t reach. The person sitting next to me looks so lost, like a stranger who endured a painful truth he never expected to face. This is a side of A
Alex’s P.O.V.As I sit in my car, waiting for Stella to return, my watch suddenly begins beeping.Damn it!Something is wrong with Stella.Without a second thought, I jump out of the car and rush inside, my mind spinning with worry. I keep praying in my mind that she’s alright.I head straight to her room, but she’s not there. I check everywhere—the bathroom, the balcony—but she’s nowhere in sight. The constant beeping from my watch only makes my heartbeat race with anxiety.What happened to her? She looked so happy when she walked into the house. How could things go wrong in just a few minutes?“Stella…” Desperately, I call her name as I step out of her room, but there’s no response.When I reach the door of her mother’s room, I stop, noticing Stella’s bag lying on the floor just outside.I wonder what her bag is doing here.Then I push the door open and step inside. My eyes widen in shock as I take in the scene. Stella is sitting, hugging her mother tightly, and both of them are cry
Stella’s P.O.V. "Can we have the same sandwich we had last time, please?" I ask as he opens my door and I step out. “No.” He denies it, shutting the door close. I look at him in shock. “Why?” He lets out a laugh, tapping my nose. "I was just kidding, Stella. Of course, we can have that sandwich. Today, whatever you want, we'll do. It's your day, my love." “Who could’ve thought that the Mr Grumpy would get so sweet one day.” I pull his cheeks, causing him to chuckle. “Now I’m yours Mr NMG.” He leans in and pecks on my cheek, making me grin. Then we head inside and eat sandwiches from the stall. My birthday is already going so amazingly. First, I woke up to my room decorated with so many gifts—it felt like a dream. And now, these delicious sandwiches! Wow! As we finish our sandwiches, Alex takes my hand and guides me towards the ice rink. When we enter, I notice something unusual—the entire rink is completely empty. My face falls as I glance around, thinking that the rink m
Alex’s P.O.V.“Anyway, what were you doing in the mall?” I question, glancing at Stella, who is sitting in the passenger seat beside me as I drive us back home.“Actually, I’ve also planned something for my birthday.”My eyes widen in surprise at her words. “What? Why didn’t you tell me?”“Because it was a surprise for you, Alex.” She pouts at me.I shake my head in disbelief. “You’re planning something for me on your birthday? Unbelievable.”“You deserve it.” She locks her eyes filled with profound love on me. “You’ve done so much for me, Alex. I want this birthday to be about us.”I glance over, feeling like I’m falling for her all over again. “You know, you’re amazing.”She reaches over and squeezes my hand. “Then just wait. Tomorrow will be unforgettable—for both of us. And you won’t stop praising me.”“I’m quite excited now. But what about the surprise I’ve planned for you?” I raise my brows at her.“Your surprise?” She taps her finger on her chin thoughtfully, which brings a smi
Alex’s P.O.V.I end the call and grip my phone tightly. All I wanted was to surprise Stella for her birthday. But now, I’ve hurt her when I meant to make her feel special.I hurry toward the parking lot, my heart pounding with worry.Shit! I shouldn’t have lied to her. The betrayal of her ex-boyfriend has left deep scars on her which take time to heal. She is trying so hard to move on and give a second chance to love. And now, because of my lie, she’s reliving that pain.I’m such an idiot.As I reach the parking lot, I spot her near her car. She’s standing there, her arms wrapped around herself, her eyes moist. She looks small and vulnerable. My heart aches at the sight.I just rush towards her and embrace her tightly into my arms. “I’m so fucking sorry, Flower. Trust me, I had no intention of hurting you.” I apologise, pulling her closer to me.“I trust you, Alex. In fact, I’m sorry for doubting you in the first place.”A smile flashes across my face at her words, and I pull her back
