ArawnโMust have been a hell of a tea,โ Jenson mocks, taking a sip of his beer bottle.I throw down my cards with a shake of my head, taking my glass of bourbon from the table.โDidnโt even ask what it was.โโYou should have! Iโll tell my wife I want the same too.โ Harvey says, getting the table to laugh.โYou wish.โ I grunt, and they continue to banter about my allegedly drugged tea and my amazing sleep experience.Itโs bad enough, and I didnโt mention that I slept in her bed rather than staying on the couch.โIt wasnโt drugged.โ I state, picking up the newly dealt cards.โI had my blood tested.โOut of the 5 men, Jenson is the one to laugh the loudest.I lower my head with a grin as I watch them crack up on my expenses. Although I would like them to stop, I have to realize that Iโm taken aback by the fact as they are. I had really hoped that the tea was drugged.This way, I would have gotten rid of her. โWell, if she makes you feel good there is nothing wrong with it, right?โ Matti

NerthusI inhale deeply as I stand in front of Lucianaโs timber house.Itโs my second day up here, and I canโt say that I slept particularly unwell, but Iโm really not made for existing outside the city. Especially now that Iโm accustomed to New York City, the peace up here makes me feel like Iโm back in my hometown.And I loathe it.Taking another cleansing breath, I stretch, standing on my toes. I start walking down the road to reach a small diner and order a shitload of unhealthy food for breakfast.I love these places. As I dig in, I watch the people outside, getting ready to hike up the paths. Iโm sure that I would throw up on my first hike as Iโm definitely exaggerating on my breakfast, but I donโt care. Jennaโs fear must have had a bigger impact on me than I had imagined, as I thought that someone was following me. But I must be crazy as they took another street in the end, and this is a big as well as a popular spot to get out of the city.Finished my breakfast, I send a text

NerthusโWhy are you whispering?โ He says nonchalantly, and I roll my eyes, wetting my lips.โArawn. There is someone in the house. Before you came, someone tried to get me outside and messed with the trash. As I wanted to get back in, the door was open! Whoever they are, they are in here.โ I answer in a whisper-shout. His rumbling laughter has me jumping. Literally.โIt was you then.โ I hit him playfully. โYou asshole.โโNo.โ He says, still chuckling.โWhat?โโThere is absolutely someone here.โโWhatโs funny? Are you fucking psycho?โโYeah.โ He simply states, laughing again.Raising back up to his full high, he opens his leather jacket, showing me his left side.โTake it.โI take a step forward automatically, just to flinch back at the sight of it and cross my arms. โNuh-uh. Iโm not touching that thing.โโNerthus!โClicking my tongue, I reach for his gun, pulling it out of his holster.โWhy did I not see that before?โโBecause I take it off before I meet you.

NerthusThe moment I wake up, I feel depleted and energized at the same time. The way he rocked my body to sleep was simply amazing. As I stretch on the bed, feeling the soreness and satisfaction, a small smiles appears on my face.Rolling to the side, I see him standing next to the bed. His naked body makes me want to ogle him endlessly, but his frown ruins the picture.Well, not really. He is sexy even when he is gloomy. What worries me is that he is frowning at the screen of my phone.โWhat are you doing with my phone?โโWho is K?โ he growls.โYou have to stop answering my questions with one of yours.โ I sigh annoyed.My heart skips a beat as he looks up, clenching his jaw.โWho the fuck is K?โโI donโt know what you are talking about!โShaking his head, he lowers his gaze back to the screen.โWhat a pity that I missed my opportunity to be alone with you! I was really looking forward to it. Your boyfriend has just the worst timing. K.โHe lifts my phone as if he wanted to show me

NerthusโHe is gay.โ I scoff. โThatโs what makes him special. Men usually give me the ick.โโMe too?โ Our eyes meet again, and it suddenly seems like there isnโt enough air in the room.I clear my throat and press my tongue to my teeth. โWhat do you think?โโI think you are pretty itching for me.โโAgh, is the spray still having that much effect? By giving you hallucinations, I mean.โHe chuckles again, leaning closer to me. And I hate how my skin yearns for his touch, making me think โfinally.โโSee.โ He just whispers, as if he was able to look into my soul. My eyes follow him slowly as he presses his warm lips against my cold skin. And even if I would like nothing more than to wipe off this smug grin of his, it makes my heart beat faster.Stupid thing. โI donโt know what you mean.โโSo, you are repulsed by me. And would like to go on entertaining other men. And when you are busy, you want me to take another woman.โThe way my body reacts to this has me questioning my sanity. I have

Nerthus Sun beams streaming into the room aggressively wake me up rather brusquely. As I stretch myself on the bed, I groan happily and get up in a good mood. After washing my face, I get to the kitchen to make breakfast as my attention gets caught by a movement outside. I find the reason of my peaceful sleep practically camping in front of my door as I step on the little patio. โGood morning, guys.โ I shout happily, spotting the two men looking back at me with a frown. โHow is your nose?โ My former abductor scoffs, pointing to his bruised face. โIt is wonderful, thank you so much.โ I laugh, crossing my arms over my chest. โWhy donโt you guys come in? Iโll make you breakfast.โ As the broken-nose-man seems to hesitate. His young colleague practically lights up. โOh, that would be awesome. Thank you!โ He is already sprinting into the cabin, followed by our sulking friend. The men take their place and look around in silence as I prepare our breakfast, humming. โSo, what are your

NerthusBy the moment Iโm climbing on the giant bed in my flimsy dress and high heels to position myself in the middle of it, my panic is already rising.I had the brilliant idea of thanking him by surprising him and got into the penthouse.Without informing him. As my stupidity dawns on me, my panicky thoughts are suffocating me. I had never done such a thing for a client before, and suddenly I curse myself.What was I even thinking? What if he is with another woman? I contemplate just running back out and my nervousness must reach its peak as I donโt even hear the lock of the entrance door. My train of thought is still drowning me as I spot him already standing in the door.โI got your gift.โ I say, getting on my knees shortly before sitting down again. I try to bluff, pushing down my fear of being thrown out in shame.Throwing his jacket on the leather chair, he stops in front of the bed to have his gaze roam over my body.

Even if I did, it wouldnโt be binding anyway.โ โSays who?โ He asks in an annoyed tone as I shake my head. โIโm saying this! This is-โ I gasp as he slumps down into the seat next to me, pulling my chair between his legs. Sliding the paper across the table, he positions it right in front of me. He is so close that I can feel his warm breath fanning my skin. โDo you want to call a lawyer?โ โI donโt need one! Iโm not signing anything.โ โDidnโt you have a contract at your old workplace?โ I nod and he taps his finger on the paper. โThis is just an agreement between you and me.โ I lay the pen down and watch him pick it up with a swirl. โWhat bothers you?โ โYouโฆ Iโฆ This is too restrictive!โ I finally exhale as I get to tear my eyes away from the pen between his fingers. โRestrictive?โ He hums, making me shudder. โIโll practically be your slave.โ He laughs, turning the contract as if he was reading it

I have never spoken in front of so many people and my throat feels raspy. โAs my brother asked me to be his best man, I felt honored, but the first thing I asked him was, โDonโt you have any friends?โโ A low chuckle goes through the crowd, and I wet my lips with my tongue. โOf course, I know that he has a lot of friends, but he wanted me as his brother to do it. And thank God, Bernie was not too offended about it to help me with the planning of the bachelor party.โ โHear, hear!โ Bernard lifts his glass, cheering loudly, getting other guests to join him.

NerthusMy birthday was more than memorable. Especially because after getting proposed to by the love of my life, I got to party my entry into a new life-year with my friends. I drank way too much, fearing I would have spoiled my chance of a tasty breakfast. โIโm out!โ I hear Danny shout before the door slams close. Groaning, I fight myself out of bed, desperately needing a cup of coffee. As I reach the kitchen, a strange sensation rises in me. I notice that there is no staff around whatsoever. Not even the usual bodyguard is scurrying around my feet and I guess that Danny left with Goldie to go to the dog school, making the house awfully silent. I tie my morning gown tighter around my waist, concentrating on refilling the water tank of my coffee machine. My heart drops as I hear footsteps nearing, but I donโt turn around. Pressing the button to get the coffee to start flowing, I ignore my body shivering in anticipation as Arawn puts his hands on the counter, caging me in. โI

Nerthus - Six months later I take a sip of my coffee, hugging my denim jacket closer as I watch the children run around the statue of Alice in Wonderland. Thinking about how my life has changed in the last year, I nearly canโt believe my luck and I push down the urge to ask myself how I deserved this kind of life. So many things have happened in these six months and it is just crazy how Iโm just living my days with a partner in crime, an adopted boy and a stolen dog. As they had liquidated my uncleโs and auntโs assets, and as they couldnโt get hold of my cousin, I got nominated as their heir. First, I didnโt want to have nothing to do with it, but with Arawnโs and Dannyโs support, I got to the house where I lived before I came to New York and we searched for something that I would want to keep before he arranged for the clean-up and the sale of the house. Naturally, I didnโt want to keep anything. But as we searched the house, Danny found a hidden safe where there were various docu

Lizzy looks at us with a blank look before she sinks to the floor, collapsing in her own pool of blood. Arawn steps towards her with his gun still pointed and picks her gun up. โAre you alright?โ he asks in our direction as he pushes the gun into the belt in the back of his pants. Danny nods, exhaling a deep breath, and I loop my arm around his, hugging him closer. โLetโs sit down. Shall we?โ He slumps to the ground nearly immediately, tearing me with him. Nodding once again, he lets his shoulders slump and I turn my head to watch Arawn crouch down before me. Cupping my chin gently, he turns my head to inspect my face. โThe ambulance is already on its way. I called Detective Ramirez. Are you feeling well enough to wait for them? Or shall I drive you to the ER?โ โIโm fine,โ I say, my voice nearly failing me as sobs rise in my throat.

Nerthus The first thing I feel as I wake up is the cold surface Iโm lying on. Turning my head to the side, I wait for my sight to focus while I notice that I canโt move. I seem to be constricted by ropes that are tying me to the table and I suddenly feel like I canโt breathe. My clothes are missing, my body shaking as Iโm only dressed in my lingerie and I dread the moment when we will find out why we are in this shitty situation. My panic is crushing my throat, my breathing getting heavy as I try to pull at the ropes constricting me on the shiny surface. Checking the room, I see Danny lying next to me. He is bound to a table as well but seems to be still knocked out, and for a moment, Iโm glad as I couldnโt take his desperation which would be adding to my panic. The gas must have been inducted into the room on purpose to knock us out and I fight hard not to faint at the thought. I groan, turning my head to the other side as I hope it will reduce the pulsating pain in my skull.

Danny scurries around him a few times before he decides on what to do and how to get hold of the body the best way. With a groan, he pushes him off me, making me take a deep breath. โOh, my God.โ He remains standing, staring at the dead man with a void look while I drag myself over the ground to get to the gun he had kicked out of my hand. โAre you alright?โ I ask as I sit up with a pained groan, and Danny nods. Laying the gun into my lap, I massage my hand as I take another deep breath. โI think he might broke my hand too.โ Sighing, I look up while I let my shoulders slump. I watch Danny while my desperation still streams through me, and I canโt seem to be able to push it down. I know exactly that there is more where he came from. Danny has his gaze still directed to the dead man, his look is flowing into the void, and I gulp as I think about how I must get him out of this dark place as s
