Stella’s P.O.V.The next day, as I get ready for college, I make sure to wear the watch. I don’t want to go to college without Alex. But I can’t stay with him because my mom will start to suspect something. I’m not ready to tell her about us yet. I’m scared of how she’ll react, or if she’ll try to keep us apart.I can’t even imagine living without Alex now.Through the balcony, I enter Alex’s room. My chest becomes heavy with pain as I find him wincing in pain, sitting on the sofa. He didn’t get much sleep last night either. Every time he shifted, I could feel his discomfort. I wish I could take away all his pain with a snap of my fingers.I approach him with sadness evident in my eyes. Although he is in pain, he smiles at me and takes my hand in his before gently pulling me onto his lap. “Flower, I’ll be fine. Don’t worry,” he says, placing his hand on my face, his thumb brushing over my cheek.I sigh, letting my fingers trace the bandage on his arm. “Alex, I just can’t stand seeing
Alex’s P.O.V.Fuck!It’s so hard being at home without Stella. I miss her so much—even though we’re texting each other every few minutes. She tells me she is home, but she’s taking the time to come to my room, and I haven’t seen her in five hours. It’s pure torture, and this pain in my arm is fucking killing me.Just then, only she slips into my room from the balcony. The second I see her, a smile spreads across my face and the pain almost fades away.“How are you, Alex?” She asks, her face full of concern as she sits beside me on the bed. “Honesty, I wasn’t doing great,” I admit, taking her hand in mine. “But now that you’re here, I’m feeling so much better.” I kiss her knuckles. She smiles and I continue, squeezing her hand and fixing my eyes on her. “You know today, I learned why you’re so sweet and kind.”She looks confused at my words.“It’s because of your mom, Stella. She took such good care of me today, even feeding me like you did last night.” I rub my thumb gently across h
Stella’s P.O.V.Two Weeks LaterAfter the last lecture of the day, I leave for the mall. Tomorrow is my birthday, but all I can think about is surprising Alex. For the past two weeks, I’ve been holding back from telling him how I really feel, resisting the urge to confess my love. I want this moment to be perfect, something unforgettable—for both of us.I’ve waited for his arm to heal properly, and now that he’s almost back to full strength, it feels like the perfect time to show him how much he means to me.Thankfully, he has gone to another college for a basketball match today, giving me the entire day to arrange everything for my surprise.I’m going to buy a dress for myself, but it’ll be a sexy one—just for Alex. He makes me feel confident about my body, and I know that now when I wear it, I’ll truly love how I look. That asshole used to make me feel horrible about myself every chance he got, but Alex is completely different. There’s no comparison between them. My Alex is perfect—
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
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
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.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.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
Selena’s P.O.V.The next night, I lie in bed with James in his room, lost in thoughts about us. We’ve grown so close recently that my heart aches at the mere thought of leaving his mansion and returning to my parents’ home. I know it’s going to be the hardest goodbye of my life.But right now, with the few days I have left with him, I want to live them to the fullest.I’m wearing James’s shirt, and his face is buried in my chest, his muscular arm wrapped securely around my waist. I’ve never felt so safe in anyone’s arms before. Why can’t I keep this man forever?I play with his hair as he lies silently on my chest—his “softies,” as he calls them. I feel his warm breath on my skin, seeping through the open buttons of the shirt. It comforts me so much that I could live my entire life like this… and even die like this. But I can’t. And the pain of that truth is unbearable.He lifts his head and notices the sadness in my eyes. “Hey, where are you lost when you’re right here with me?”“Now
Selena’s P.O.V.The weekend trip ends as quickly as it begins. It’s like a dream I never want to wake up from. When I’m with James, time seems to fly.James takes me everywhere. We explore the charming streets of Paris hand in hand. He insists on buying me everything I admire—scarves, perfumes, even a silver bracelet I can’t stop looking at.He’s spoiling me like nobody else before. God! I’m going crazy.We visit museums, but I’m too distracted by the way he watches me instead of the art. We sip wine at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the city. He feeds me strawberries dipped in chocolate, calling me his queen.We ride a boat along the Seine, the city lights reflecting in the water, and he holds me as if I belong to him—because I do. Maybe not forever, but in these precious moments, I am entirely his.Every moment with James is magical. We share laughter and make sweet memories whenever we visit. At night, we fuck each other like there’s no tomorrow. Life with James feels like heaven
James’s P.O.V.“I want to take you out for the weekend, Selena.”“What?”“Yeah. Can you give me two days?”“Where do you want to take me?”“That’s a surprise,” I say, looking at her. “I just want to spend time with you—freely.”“But…”Before she can say anything else, I place my finger on her lips. “Please, Selena. I want this. Don’t say no.”I have never begged in front of anyone, and I never thought I would go this crazy for someone. But for Selena, I’m willing to do anything—things I’ve never done before.She nods with a smile on her face. “Okay. My two days are all yours.”A grin spreads across my face at her words. Without a thought, I grab her waist and press my lips against hers once again.***“Oh my God, Paris! I’ve always wanted to visit this city,” Selena exclaims in joy and her eyes sparkle as we land in Paris at night.“You’ve never been here before?” I ask in surprise, watching her excitement. Seeing her this happy makes me feel like I made the perfect choice. I always w
Selena’s P.O.V.I sit beside James in the car as he takes me somewhere for lunch. I asked him where we were going, but he wouldn’t tell me. He just said, “It’s a surprise, Selena.”Now, butterflies dance in my stomach just thinking about where he might be taking me. I steal glances at him every few seconds. He looks so damn hot while driving. The veins in his arms are visible, making my breath heavy. No one would ever guess he’s almost forty. Any woman would have a crush on him, and on top of that, he’s such a gentleman.He surprised me with a bouquet, and how he knelt before me to tie the strap of my heels melted my heart.What is happening between us? Why is he treating me like this? And more importantly—what are we? I need answers.“What are we, James?” I ask, breaking the silence.He shifts his gaze toward me and gives me that look—the one that melts my entire body.Damn this man!“Honesty, I don’t know.” He shrugs. “But I do know that when you’re beside me, I feel complete. You m
Selena’s P.O.V. My mornings had never started like this before. Even now, I can still feel his touch on every inch of my body. Every moment is imprinted in my memory, replaying repeatedly, making me wet just thinking about it. God!I sit in the classroom, completely lost in the thoughts of how I teased him, and how he spanked me. Fuck! Pressing my legs together, I try to suppress the burning sensation I’m still feeling between my thighs. I crave it again. I want more. If he had spanked me just a little longer, I would have come hard from that only. Every time his palm landed on my pussy, pleasure shot through me like an electric current. It was so incredible. No man has ever controlled me the way he does, and I love every second of it.Everything he does to me brings me the kind of satisfaction I never knew I needed. I’ve been with many men, but I never once wanted to sleep with them again. But with James, it’s completely different. Every time he fucks me, I only want more. I fee
James’s P.O.V. The next morning, I wake up in my bed with a woman in my arms and feeling her warm breath tickling my chest. It’s peaceful. It’s perfect. I tighten my hold on her naked body, feeling so damn complete and content. Like always, I inhale the scent of her hair—sweet, familiar, and something uniquely her. It calms my soul. A smile spreads across my face as I look down at her. Selena. The most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. As my day starts seeing her face, only one thought comes to my mind that I want to wake up like this every single day. I don’t know what’s happening to me. I’ve never felt this way about any woman before. But with her? I can’t stop thinking about forever, and it feels so damn right. A few strands of hair fall across her face, and I gently tuck them behind her ear before kissing her forehead. As I run my fingers through her hair, she stirs in my arms and her body shifts against mine. She slowly opens her eyes and gives me a lazy, sleepy smile that to
Selena’s P.O.V. I sit in James’s lap on the college terrace, the sky darkening and the city lights glowing in the distance. His warm arms are wrapped around my waist, holding me close as if he never wants to let go. We’re completely lost in each other. His warmth gives me the comfort I always craved. It’s so peaceful. I can’t stop thinking about how possessively he fucked me in every corner of the library. And when I told him I had done it in the classroom and on the terrace with someone else, he just took me to the room first. He made me sit on the desk, then dropped to his knees in front of me, eating me wildly until I was trembling. Then, before I could even catch my breath, he knelt me before him and fucked my mouth like no one ever had before. And then, as if possessed, he dragged me to the college terrace, where he bent me over and took me on the cold floor, gripping my hair and spanking my ass while pounding into me. It was wild. It was incredible. God! My core still throb
James’s P.O.V. I grip her throat and pin her to the shelves as I unfasten my jeans with my free hand. “Today, you’ll only remember one man, and that’s me.” My body is on fire, and my dick is as hard as rock. Right now, all I want is to bury myself deep inside her and claim her as mine. Ever since she told me she had sex with someone else in the library, I’ve been dying to erase that memory from her mind. She belongs to me. Only me, and today I’m going to engrave that in her mind. As I push my jeans and boxers down, her eyes drop to my hard length, and she instinctively presses her thighs together. Not for long. Gripping her thighs, I lift her effortlessly and wrap her legs around my waist. I rub my cock against her dripping wetness, teasing her, watching her eyes flutter shut as she moans in frustration. “I can’t wait anymore.” She wraps her arms around my neck. It’s so satisfying to know that she’s as desperate as I am. I let out a dark chuckle. “So my dirty little girl wants
Selena’s P.O.V. The next day, after my last class, Mr Luther calls me and says, “Can you come and meet me in your college library, Selena?” My eyes widen in shock. What? Is he really in the college? “You’re in the library? Why?” “You know why, Selena. Don’t be innocent.” I can feel the possessive tone in his voice. “Just come here. Fast.” He ends the call before I can say something. Does he come here because yesterday I told him about my past sex encounter in the library? I didn’t think that he would actually show up here because of that. “Fuck! He’s crazy,” I mutter, shaking my head, but I can’t stop smiling. My heartbeat fastens as I wonder what he’s planning to do. Will he have sex with me there? Only the thought of Mr Luther fucking me sends a twitch between my thighs and I press them together. Fuck! I can’t believe Mr Luther is going to fuck me. I rush to the library, my cheeks red. The anticipation of feeling him deep inside me is driving me crazy. I haven’t eve
