Nerthus

“Are you okay?”

Arawn’s voice gets me to calm down immediately, my shoulders slumping automatically.

“Yeah. Yeah.” I say, playing with my necklace. “I just wanted to hear your voice.”

He barks out a laugh, and I can see him lift his eyebrows at me. “This bad, huh?”

“Uh-huh. She is doing better every day. But with her two left legs, you know how aunty Maria is. Never laying down.”

“For goodness' sake, Nerthus.” He chuckles deeply before he just hangs up.

What the fuck?!

That asshole.

Feeling absolutely shocked at him not getting my message, I’m about to send him a text with a few nice words to make him regret when they find me in some ugly ditch.

With my torso cracked open and emptied.

Just as I’m about to type, a text appears on my phone.

Mr. Entitled Asshole: Your favorite band?

Amber: Are you fucking kidding me? What are you doing? Are you updating your playlist?

Mr. Entitled Asshole: Do you like Metallica?

I lift my arms, pushing out a single laugh.

I can’t

    Nerthus I already have a bad feeling as I step out of my building.Naturally, I prepared myself for a night out with Bridget and didn’t cancel our date. I had informed her about the fact that I probably wouldn’t make it because of work, but I wanted to provoke Arawn anyway.That’s just the way we are.Bridget took it quite well, even if I think she might have been high anyway.A group of six men are standing distributed on the walkway without seemingly interacting with each other.The perks of shouting your lungs off against a King I guess.“Miss Flannings?” The bulkiest of them says in an accent I could swear from his accent that he is one of the men who escorted me home last night.He opens a car door for me and crosses his hands before his frame as he straightens back up. Wrinkling my nose, I walk to the car reluctantly.Not that I would have any other choice.“They know me as Rogers here if you don’t mind.”“I understand. I apologize, Ms. Rogers.”He remains unmoved and I flash h

    NerthusBy the time he lets me move to lie on the bed, I feel like I’ve lost my ability to think clearly.I absolutely love the fact that he goes to wash his dick as he doesn’t want me to risk getting any infections.He can act tough all he wants, but he did get soft.Closing my eyes shortly, I take a deep breath.As I feel the bed dip, I turn to him and lift myself off the bed. He claims my lips hungrily, pushing me back into the pillows on the bed.As my hands travel down from his shoulders to his back, I notice that he is already naked. Groping his ass, he groans against my lips and moves between my legs, spreading me for him.“You will feel me for days.” He smirks slyly, my laugh turning into a gasp as he pushes into me.“Yes!” I moan, moving my hands behind my head.While rocking my body, he pushes my elbows down, making me move my arms.“Don’t get your hands off me.” He growls, having me move my hands up his arms again.Grabbing the headboard of the bed, and wrapping his other a

    NerthusI went straight to bed as soon as I got home.I didn’t remove my make-up.I didn’t even change.God, it’s a wonder that I slipped out of my shoes as I walked through the door.As soon as I found myself cuddled into my blankets, I felt like crying.And after a few seconds, I was out like a light.I know that I want to go back to work for him, not only because I really want to work for him, and he pays me well. But also, because I can’t see myself seducing other men if I have the chance of not having to do it.The only problem is that I don’t know what to do with the feelings that I have for this man.And I certainly won’t be able to take another hit like the one he had me go through before Thanksgiving.I stretch myself in my bed as I sit up and flinch as the soreness between my legs sends a painful yet pleasurable feeling up my body.Moaning lowly, I drag myself out of bed and into the kitchen to make breakfast.I halt as I reach my open kitchen and living room, my heart skipp

    Nerthus“Ouch,” I groan, trying to lift the death weight off me. “You are heavier than you seem.”Danny wails with his head hanging. “I’m sorry, Ambaaa.”“Oh my God, Danny. Are you drunk?”He starts groaning and sobbing, and I try to calm him before he wakes up the entire house.“Shhh. Danny.” I finally get him to stand up, even if it seems hard for him to keep his balance.“Come on, let’s get you some water,” I whisper, closing the door and pushing him into the kitchen.Looking at the bar stools, I am pondering over whether I should better take him to the couch. “Can you sit…?”“Sure,” He answers full of pride as he hops onto the kitchen island. “I learned that a long time ago.”I laugh, turning to take a bottle of water out of the fridge.As I hand him the bottle, he sighs deeply, letting his arms slump into his lap. “I’m sorry Amber. I didn’t know where to go.”“It’s okay, baby. You can come over whenever you need to. Now drink!” I cross my arms, gesturing to the bottle in his hand

    Nerthus There are a few moments in my life where I could say that I nearly had a heart attack. But I guess the moment I jolt awake because of the sound of a horn will definitely make it to my top three. “What the fuck?!” I screech, hearing Danny cussing as he turns to bury his face into a pillow. “Nice couch you have here.” My heart skips a beat at hearing Arawn’s voice even before my eyes can find him. “Are you insane? You woke up the entire house with that thing!” He is just standing there with his phone in his hand, looking at me disparagingly as I hiss at him. Pulling my blanket up to my chest, I look over to Danny. “He was just feeling lonely. Why are you like that?” Danny groans about not telling him once again as Arawn clicks his tongue. “Sure, there is nothing better to cure loneliness than a pair of big boobs.” “Wouldn’t you know?!” I don’t get to gasp in time as he is already standing at my bed, tearing my warming blankets off me. “Out. I have things to do. Don’t l

    Arawn Thank you for the flowers.I laugh at my own simping as I knock on the door. “Danny, open up!”He doesn’t respond, and I knock against it once more.“Come on! Open this door.”Turning at the door handle, I click my tongue. “You surely don’t want Amber to have a broken door, don’t you?”This bait works, as I hear a low click, and can finally open the door fully.Disclosing a teenager sulking while sitting on a small couch, I nearly have to laugh but I keep it in.I urgently need to leave here.“Danny! What are you doing?” I ask him as I close the door behind me.The room is a small library mixed with an office space. It is cozy, even if it fits the sterile style of Nerthus’ taste in interior design.Sitting down in an office chair, I roll to sit next to Danny. “Are you still feeling unwell?”He shakes his head, still avoiding my gaze.“How much did you drink last night?”I get another non-verbal answer as he shrugs.“Danny!” I lean forward, propping my elbows on my knees. “Were

    Nerthus It’s official.I’m going to die.Right here and on the spot.Just because my heart can’t take it anymore.“Amber!” Danny’s voice tears me away from staring at the lights and decorations in awe as he and Arawn seem to have moved through the crowd.“Sorry,” I mumble more to myself as he is too far away to hear it as I reach Danny, who is waving for me.This afternoon and evening have been so much fun but also quite depressing.Don’t get me wrong.I’m certainly used to having fun, and Jenna and Gigi surely are the best friends a girl could ever desire. But this is just different.I had spent some time on my own in the arcades as I was in my teens after I had come to New York.But Coney Island?!The afternoon at the arcade has already been much more fun than I had imagined, as it is different from being there alone.Danny and I had raced each other on the race car simulators and threw a few baskets on the basketball machines.We even won some tickets that we could exchange for fu

    Nerthus “Relax,” Arawn says annoyed, taking his cigarette package out of the inside pocket of his coat. “I got your message loud and clear. I just needed him away as long as possible because my head is killing me.” Taking a pull of his cigarette, he looks into the distance. My heart squeezes in my chest as this isn’t the message I intended for him to get. Yet, I was never the type to give such messages. I wouldn’t deserve to be this type of woman, and he surely is better off without me troubling him with all my emotional baggage. It’s shoved deeply down, and this is where it should stay. I really can’t risk having it spilled just because I can’t seem to keep my emotions in check with him. And still, my tongue itches to ask him about his card and his text. About what he meant exactly. I know that I’m being stupid, and I’m continuing to convince myself that I’m interpreting it wrong, as I’m just acting like a love-sick teenage girl. So unprofessional. Men would do anything fo

    Lenore Her high-pitched giggles sound like razor blades in my ears as my gaze is fixed on the huge diamond sparkling on her finger. “Well, you will surely understand, right?” Jason asks with a stupid grin as he shoves the hand of his new fiancée under my nose. “We weren’t compatible anyway.” I force up a smile, caressing my arms as I hug myself against the cold. “Of course, you are so cute together.” “Thank you so much,” Gina squeals in her fake happy voice, putting her hand on her chest. “It was so important for me that you would understand.” This scene is so telling. Also, because I’m standing in the open, freezing to death in my cute dress while the snowflakes fall on me, sticking to my hair and melting into my already freezing skin.My best friend and my ex-boyfriend, on the other hand, are standing beneath the roof of the entrance to his house, smiling at me like it’s about to be Christmas.And luckily it is.

    Danny “Is this thing on?” I clear my throat as I tap on the microphone, smiling uncomfortably. “Hey everyone.” The guests are staring up at me and I squirm on my feet as I push out a deep breath. I have never spoken in front of so many people and my throat feels raspy. “As my brother asked me to be his best man, I felt honored, but the first thing I asked him was, ‘Don’t you have any friends?’” A low chuckle goes through the crowd, and I wet my lips with my tongue. “Of 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.” “Hear, hear!” Bernard lifts his glass, cheering loudly, getting other guests to join him. I play with my notes, my nervousness increasing as I feel my throat close. “Well, the bachelor party was great. Sorry, Amber, but there were a lot of beautiful girls.” Amber laughs, the diamond pins holding up her hair sparkling in th

    Arawn“This is not fair! You can’t treat me like this.” Amanda screams at the top of her lungs, making me close my eyes exhausted.“Well, why don’t you go ahead and sue me?”Her theatrical gasp must cost her so much air that I’m surprised she doesn’t faint.“I hate you!” She screams even louder. “I never want to see you ever again!”So dramatic.It has been quite a while and I still struggle to adjust to this ‘love topic’.All because of that woman.Fifteen years have passed since I asked Nerthus to be my wife, and claimed she just said yes because of her job.I might have her punished for this.But she made me pay severely anyway.“Well, what a shame that you are stuck with me, isn’t it, Amanda?”“I hate you! I hate you!”Groaning, I pinch the bridge of my nose. “You keep repeating yourself. We already figured it out that far, didn’t we, my love?”The shrill scream that she is used to producing during her tantrums risks bursting my eardrums.Well, my fucking fault for thinking I coul

    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. “I’m out!” 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 don’t 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. “I

    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 can’t 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 I’m just living my days with a partner in crime, an adopted boy and a stolen dog. As they had liquidated my uncle’s and aunt’s assets, and as they couldn’t get hold of my cousin, I got nominated as their heir. First, I didn’t want to have nothing to do with it, but with Arawn’s and Danny’s 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 didn’t want to keep anything. But as we searched the house, Danny found a hidden safe where there were various docu

    Nerthus It takes my lungs a few seconds to fill with enough air to push out a horrified scream. But it actually feels like it takes an eternity. 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. “Are you alright?” 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. “Let’s sit down. Shall we?” 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. “The 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?” “I’m fine,” 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 I’m lying on. Turning my head to the side, I wait for my sight to focus while I notice that I can’t move. I seem to be constricted by ropes that are tying me to the table and I suddenly feel like I can’t breathe. My clothes are missing, my body shaking as I’m 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, I’m glad as I couldn’t 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.

    Nerthus “Get him off me!” I scream pushing the dead body from me but failing miserably. 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. “Oh, my God.” 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. “Are you alright?” 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. “I think he might broke my hand too.” Sighing, I look up while I let my shoulders slump. I watch Danny while my desperation still streams through me, and I can’t 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
