Arawn - Past “How dare you! How dare you stick your nose into things that don’t concern you.”Her shrill scream risks perforating my eardrums, and I clench my teeth.I hate it when people scream. Why do people always think they can scream at me?“They will take my baby away from me! They will take him from his mother.” Annie goes feral while she starts throwing the insides of her bag onto the table as she is still looking for something in it. “I just lost my husband, and now you made me lose my baby too!”“He had to be hospitalized. He would have died without proper care! Annie, he is diabetic.” I try to keep my voice calm as she flips out.I never argue with anyone, because the people who are entitled to raise their voice at me, I am not allowed to talk back at, and the ones who aren’t entitled to, stop yelling at the first blow hitting their jaw.So, this is an entirely new situation as I try to calm down my father’s right hand’s wife in front of a little boy staring up at me wit
Arawn I can’t help the big smile grow on my face as I step into the elevator to reach Nerthus’ apartment with a fancy package under my arm. I had barely left her home after the night we had, as I couldn’t help but make a small round into the offices on this Monday morning just to get out to buy flowers, as I saw that everything was rolling out perfectly without me, or could at least. Laughter fills the air as I open the door to her apartment with my key, and the sight makes me halt in my steps. “Oh, look. That is the crazy man that filled my apartment with flowers.” Nerthus is giggling as a little girl sitting on the counter throws her hands in the air. “Fofaaas.” She chuckles cutely, apparently not being able to say flowers yet. “Yeah, so many flowers.” My heart is the last part of my body to pick up its function again before my legs do. Walking along a path that Nerthus made through the sea of roses, I reach her to kiss her. “Hi, crazy man,” Nerthus greets me, wrinkling her
Nerthus I’m wearing my happiest smile and a basket filled with muffins as I halt in front of a big wooden reception desk. My outfit consisting of a knee-long woolen skirt with a gray and beige square pattern, and a black pullover worn over a white blouse shouts ‘good girl’ from a mile away.And I really hope it will give those stuck-up people a bit of trust in a total stranger.“Good morning. I have an appointment with Mr. Johnson. If you’d be so kind to advise him that Gemma Ferguson is here.” I say in a honeyed, placated voice.The lady at the reception smiles at me and picks up the phone. “Of course, Ms. Ferguson.”I turn around to watch the interiors of the historic building as she announces me to the lucky fellow who doesn’t know about his luck yet.“Ms. Ferguson?” I jump as if torn out of my staring in awe as I look at her. “Mr. Johnson will be ready to receive you in a minute. If you’d be so kind as to take a seat, his assistant will pick you up in a bit.”“Oh, thank you very
Arawn Checking my phone, I sigh as there is still no text from Nerthus.Looks like someone wants to get a visit at all costs.The usual hostess in an elegant skirt and blouse waits for my arrival on the floor and accompanies me into the room.After years of going to the same room on the same floor, it gets kind of unnecessary in my opinion, but it is all part of the image, so I’ll ride with it.As she opens the door and I enter the room, my gaze falls on her immediately.Nerthus is sitting at the poker table wearing her hair collected in a high ponytail, showing off her delectable neck.Hearing the door close behind me, I try to shut up my running thoughts sending indecent pictures into my mind at how beautiful she is.“Where is everyone?” I ask, not able to contain my grin.Nerthus shifts and crosses her legs seductively, her red dress with a deep neckline revea
Arawn The memory of Nerthus screaming my name in pleasure while I slam into her lying on the poker table is the only thing that has me grasping onto my sanity. I finally got her to agree to come back to work for me, and I can’t wait to get out of here to make up for all the time we had lost while playing cat and mouse. I know that she was going out with her friends tonight, but even if she tried to reject me, she knows exactly that I will be waiting for her as soon as she comes home. We had been entwined into each other sharing another cigarette as we were discussing our schedules. She had rolled her eyes at it, but I could see how she had to force down her smile. My heart blooms at the thought of her being as desperate for our intimacy as I am. The look in her eyes as I told her how she was lucky enough to not be tied to a bed for me already, would be able to fuel my lust for years. I love how she overcame her discomfort with me, and I can’t wait to have her in every possible wa
Arawn I push through the crowded and sticky halls filled with thundering music to reach the catacombs and reach Bernard, who is already waiting for me with a huge grin.“Bernie,” I growl, making him laugh.He points to a steel door with his thumb, being in the best mood ever. “We had a little incident in one of our dealer rooms.”“What happened?” I ask annoyed.Rubbing his hands, he seems to have the time of his life. “Two ladies were here to buy drugs. One of our dealers was about to settle the deal with one of them when he noticed the other moving strangely. He said they were having a good time, and the beauties were even partying with him. But fortunately, he is in the business long enough to not be scammed by a pair of boobs.”I shake my head while his eyes continue to sparkle. “I still don’t know why I’m here.”“Oh, I thought you would love to see the boobs. It’s quite spectacular.” He snickers as he lowers his voice. “They are VIPs.”“VIPs?” I ask, making him nod.“Yeah, I thou
Arawn Nerthus flinches as she turns around and gets up immediately as she sees me. “Oh my God.”“You can call me all you want, woman. I’m still going to be pissed.” I growl as I slam the door close behind me.Her eyes widen as she steps towards me. “Arawn, you have to believe me that I didn’t take anything! I’m so sorry. I was being stupid.”“Shut up!” I say, and she pulls back her hands that were about to grab for me.She holds her hands to her chest as she speaks again. “I know that it isn’t an excuse, but I was tipsy, and she always gets the worst out of me.”“I told you to shut the fuck up!” I bark, making her wince.As she goes silent, I can finally force my brain to function normally again, even if her big eyes are still horribly distracting.“Want to tell me what happened?” I ask.She avoids my gaze, tugging a strand of her hair behind her ear as she nods. “We were dancing, and everything was fine. But then a guy hit on her, and she told me that she knew him because he was a d
Arawn I’m still wiping my lip as I reenter the room with the skinny woman. “So, Bridget,” I say, making her look at me annoyed. “Want to share your story with me as well? Before I let them throw your entitled ass into the East River?” She laughs, the drugs in her system blocking every function in her brain. “I have nothing to tell you.” “Fine,” I say, taking the tablet Bernard is passing me. She fidgets on her chair and bobs her leg nervously while I go through the security footage. I watch Nerthus coming into the club, and how she becomes the third wheel to her supposed friend and one of my soldiers. I have to keep myself from smiling as I watch her sipping on her drink and dancing to the music with small movements while her friend is trying to buy drugs. The footage switches as they move to the catacombs, and I know the woman already well enough to see that she is not feeling comfortable being where her friend takes her. My heart squeezes as I think how concerned she was abou
