DAWN.
"Move. "
I stop the movement of my pen and raise my head to the direction of that voice and it's truly him.
"Stop staring at me like you just saw an alien, Meek. "
He says as he takes his seat, and I let out a chuckle, shaking my head.
"I'm just surprised you came here. You rarely do. And you have been missing for days. What the fuck happened to you? "
I shrug, looking back to where the lecturer is currently uttering things that make little sense to me. I have a lot of studying to do later.
"I'm not here for the class. I'm here for you. "
Why does that make my heart beats so fast?
"Why?"
I ask, my voice sounding so unsure, like a high school girl who's talking to her crush for the first time and is about to pee in her thongs... Or panties?
"Curiosity Killed the Cat, Meek. Pay attention to class. "
I roll my eyes before moving my gaze back to the lecturer again, but that
"Do you got questions left to ask me, Meek?" He teases, knowing he's got me tamed—trapped, with no other way out. "You're a fucking asshole. " I grunt loudly and his hand moves to my hair, gripping it so tightly that it burns my scalp, and that feeling shoots straight to my core, having me drip more between my thighs, creaming my fucking thongs like the bitch that I am. "I know, " He whispers, his voice doing me no justice as he moves his mouth close to my ear with his face right next to mine. "And you want that asshole to fuck you so badly. " He lets out a chuckle that's one of mockery before pushing my rear to meet his enormous bulge, his hips bucking against mine in one swift motion which forces a moan out of me as he bends my neck to meet his eyes, so dark and fierce, the grey orbs barely noticeable anymore as he brush his lips over my shoulder blades. "You do not know what I could do to you, Meek. The man
RYDER. "What the fuck are you talking about? My mother is what?" I ask the man that stands before me with eyes glaring enough to shoot daggers through it, and I think he understands that too, which is why he's currently a shivering mess before me. Poor man. "Sir..." He peers at me through the corners of his eyes and I let out a deep breath, gripping onto the ends of the desk and stretching my arms to no limit; pushing off all the pent up anger that are unconsciously aiming for the poor man. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Rodriguez. You know I have a bit of a temper and it's been getting quite on these days. Shall we take that information again?" The man straightens his pose for a minute, gazing at me like he isn't so sure of this but has no choice either ways which I'm guessing is why he proceeds. "We got calls from our partnering companies. Your mother..." I glare up at him and he clears his throat, rephr
DAWN. I gulp down nothing as I stare at him and he stares right back at me with a smile set upon his face. "What are you- what are you doing here?" My voice shivers slightly as I gaze up at the man I never thought I would see, standing right outside my house but as fate would have it, here he is, dressed in his fucking expensive suit and his eyes on nothing else but me. "You went away too far, Dawn. Too far than I can handle. " He steps in without my permission, closing the door behind him when it seems like I'm frozen to even do that myself and I am. Who the hell wouldn't? Ryder Smith is fucking here! In Boston! Far away from Washington and standing right before me! How the fuck did that happen? How did he know where to come? "Dawn, is he drunk off his ass?" And I forgot who I had been speaking with on the phone before this... unexpected appearance. "I will call you later, Kira. "
DAWN. I can barely feel my own legs anymore as he pulls the thong as tight as it will go, having me drench more between my thighs and torturing me with the burning need that he knows I crave—want. "Ryder, " I whimper helplessly, pinned to the kitchen sink and at his complete mercy, silently begging for the pleasure that I know he will give. "You do not know how insane you drive me, Dawn. " He hisses behind me, his hands roaming my thighs before he settles on my globes and gives them a squeeze, forcing a strangled moan out of me. He shifts my thong to the side, his fingertips grazing over my wetness, and that slight movement is enough to have me pushing into his arms like the desperate bitch that I am. "You're an obnoxious woman. You refuse to yield no matter how many times I try. " And yet, here I am. On full display for you, like you mentioned earlier. I would call this total and complete submission. "Y
RYDER. I'm here with her again and, like always, she feels so small in my fucking arms. She fit perfectly in my embrace, in my arms—as she should. I can feel every fucking inch of her with each brutal thrust I make. I can feel the way her warmness engulfs me—welcoming me and refusing to simply let go with her pussy clenching around me, making it fucking hard for me to control myself and not truly hurt her. With each stroke that I make, she either releases a cry, a scream, a curse directed at me or a moan of my name, but my favourite of all is everything mixed in one. When I left Washington, I had only one thing in mind. I was going to beg. Beg for her to come back to me, beg for her to give us a chance, beg for her to love me again and I was ready to when I step before that door but all forms of civilised thoughts left me completely, the moment her face came into view. I couldn't resist it and I just had to touch her, but that went skyrocketed damn fast t
DAWN. Have you ever being in an extremely awkward situation? Where everything just happens so fucking fast before you can even get your mind to wrap around what the hell is going on? That's the exact situation I'm in right now as I stare between the two men, on wobbly legs and my core still sore from what had just happened in that kitchen. I hold on to the door for support as silence descends in the air. A very uncomfortable one. Ryder stares at Elijah like he's ready to pounce on him, his hands balled tightly into fists at his side's and his face set into a scowl, while Elijah doesn't even look the least intimidated by him. Instead, his eyes drag between the two of us; gazing at me, then off to Ryder again. I have never felt embarrassed like I do right now, there's no fucking doubt of what we just had with our messy hair, my shaking legs and Ryder's belt that he didn't have the brain to fix before coming out here and I know Elijah is too much of
DAWN. Elijah gaze at me with eyes full of panic and horror and I'm sure that mine reflects the same emotions. "Are you hurt?" He asks, his voice rushed and his eyes moving across the surroundings, probably trying to comprehend what just happened. "I'm not. I'm fine," I tell him and the door bursts open the next second, Ryder emerging out of the house with wide eyes. His eyes lands on my form that's currently tucked under Elijah's and I watch his demeanor soften by a trance. "You need to get inside. Now, Dawn. " Elijah says, bringing my attention back to him and I nod, making my way towards the door only to realize Elijah isn't following behind me. "Elijah, why aren't you coming in? It's dangerous out here. " I don't understand what the fuck just went down, but I'm not totally sure that what just happened wouldn't repeat itself. "Just go in, Dawn. I'll be right behind y
DAWN. "What do you mean you're staying here in Boston?" I raise my brows at him, and Ryder shrugs. "I had two choices. Either make you come back to Washington or stay back here. " He says and I stare at him as if he's an alien and at this moment, he truly feels like one. "What the hell are you talking about? You have a life in Washington. You have Miranda and Emily and the..." "You're my life, Dawn. I told you that already. " He says as if it's a normal thing to abandon your life just like that. And your family! "And besides, I'm not entirely staying here because of you. I have a business deal going on in Boston and since you have agreed to be stubborn as always, I'll use one stone to kill two birds. Stay here for my business and watch over you. " I grit my teeth at him before resting against the couch and shutting my eyes, but the echoes of his voice resound so loud in my head and I'm opening them in
DAWN. "You shouldn't be scared. " Ryder states beside me and I glare at him, "Easy for you to say. You're not the one meeting your man's parents for the first time. ""I don't remember you being nervous when you met Miranda and the rest. " He teases and I nudge him with my shoulder, earning a laugh from him. "Just joking, babe. You'll be fine. They're not scary. ""Are you sure about that?" I cast him a side glance as I rub my palms against each other and he hums, "Not to that extent. ""Ryder, " I whine as I slap his thigh. "Stop teasing me. You're not helping. ""I know, " he chuckles. "I just can't help it when you're this worried. Come on, you'll be fine, baby. " He presses a hand to my face and I push more of my skin into his touch, letting out a breath at the feeling of calmness that comes with it. It's been a month since I graduated and left college, and today; I'll be meeting Ryder's family. His second family that's come to be a part of the big one. We haven't met because I
√THREE YEARS LATER. √BOSTON. DAWN. "He isn't picking the calls, still?" I drop the phone from my ear and lift my gaze to Bryan, a frown covering my expression as I shake my head in a response to his words. "He isn't. I have no idea what's happening. ""When last did you two speak?" He asks as he steps closer and I say, "He's been busy so we haven't been speaking much. Probably last two days if I remember correctly. ""And he knows your graduation is today?" He lifts his brow and I hum, "He knows. He couldn't have forgotten. He isn't the type to forget these sorts of things. ""Then he should be here. Maybe he's planning a surprise for you?" He suggests and I let out a chuckle, "I don't think so, Bryan. Maybe he truly isn't coming. "I stare down at the screen of my phone, like I've been doing for hours, waiting patiently for Ryder's text or call to inform me he's somewhere around here for one of the important moments of my life— my graduation, but there's been nothing from him. "Y
DAWN. "She didn't give me a chance to refuse when she overheard me talking to Ryder. " Miranda snickers as she nudges Emily towards me and I chuckle, wrapping my arms around the little one's body. "Hey, sweetheart. Will you miss me?" I raise my brows and she bobs her head slowly, her lips pushed forward in a small, cute pout. I smile and press my fingers to it, "Is that right? You never asked of sister Dawn since you left with your mom. " "She does, " Miranda groans behind me and I take my eyes back to her with raised brows. "Every single day. Trust me. " "Good girl. " I ruffle her hair and she smiles brightly at me. I move her to my side, and look towards Ryder who has a sad look on his face. No matter how much he tells me he's alright with this, I know he isn't. I know he doesn't want me to go, and I wish there was another way but this is something I have to do. This is something I st
DAWN."Your Aunt seems so nice. " Ryder comments as I get into bed with him, moving to his chest with his arm going around my waist and I chuckle with a small nod, saying, "She is. That's why I love her so much. ""I can tell by the way you gazed at her and that smile you had on your face. " He says."It's been so long since I last saw her, Ryder. It felt too good to be in her presence again. I honestly feel bad for leaving her alone for so long. " I tell him and he hums, "It wasn't your fault. Everything is falling back to place at least. " He smiles and I nod.Everything truly is. Rider reconciled with his family, and I did the same with my Aunt. Elijah is off my back, and there's no need to worry any longer. No challenges gnawing at us, threatening to pull us apart, and that calms my heart. Except for that one thought that stays at the back of my mind.
DAWN."You look so nervous, " Ryder chuckles as we stand before my aunt's door, and I laugh rubbing my palms against each other."That, I definitely am. What if she's mad at me, and doesn't want to see me? It's been so long since I checked on him. I mean, I know I do call, but I've been in Washington for days, and I didn't check on her, Ryder. What if she sends me out?""Okay, babe. You really need to be calm. You're freaking out. " Ryder says with a shake of his head, grabbing hold of my shoulders to still my movement, and I let out a low breath as I raise my gaze to meet his. "She will be more than happy to see you, Dawn. You're her family, and even if she might get mad that this took you so long; nothing will stop her from embracing you. " He assures, his palm cupping my face, and I shut my eyes to the warmth of his touch against my skin, before nodding."Okay. Here we go. " I mo
DAWN."And you're okay with everything?" I ask Ryder who have a wide smile on his face as his hands graze over my thighs, while the other controls the steering wheel."Yes, I am, babe, " he responds with a laugh, and it warms my heart to hear that beautiful sound fall off his lips. He's happy. Genuinely happy, just like I always want him to be, and I don't think I want anything else than what I have right now."I'm glad you agreed to go there. " I tell him, holding my hand over the one that rests over my thigh, and he hums, nodding."I'm glad I did too. I have a fucking twin sister! Can you believe that?" He laughs with a shake of his head as he stops at the green light, and I can't help the laugh that slips through my parted lips at the sight of an excited Ryder Smith."I do now that you say it. How was she like? How was everyone like?" I turn to hi
DAWN.I lean back against my seat as I wait for Ryder's arrival. My phone vibrates against the skin of my leg; bringing me out of my daze, and I push forward, grabbing it as my eyes widen at the name across my screen.Elijah.He's calling me.With a nervous sigh, I push the mobile against my ear, and wait for his voice."Dawn?" He says, and I hum, leaning back against the car seat, saying, "Hey, Elijah. ""I'm glad you picked. I had doubts. " He laughs, the sound booming through the device, and my body visibly relaxes at that; knowing he isn't here for trouble."Why wouldn't I?" I chuckle, and there's a sigh from his end, before he says, "The things I did to you. They weren't right, Dawn. I said, and did terrible things. I was so obsessed with the idea of having you that I didn't even realize you were h
RYDER.I stare at the woman that walks inside the room; her eyes scanning across the room, till it lands on my gaze, and her eyes drink me in, moving down my length.I'm in awe, and my eyes are wide as I stare at the woman that stands before me. Damn! She could be mistaken as my twin. Who is this woman?"Ryder, " the man says, drawing my attention back to him, and I move my eyes from the lady back to the man, who calls for the lady with a smile on his face as he says, "This is Delilah. Your sister. " You've got to be fucking kidding me! My sister? I have a sister?"He's my brother? Ryder Smith is my brother?" Brother. That word. I've not known that word outside the Smith's family, and to be called that by a girl that's the other version of me makes my heart warm, as much as it aches.I move my gaze to the family before me. Am an old man, with a beautiful old wom
DAWN."Are you sure you're ready to do this?" I raise my brows at Ryder who leans against his seat with his head raised, and his hand over his forehead.He snaps his gaze to mine, with a small smile gracing his lips as he slowly bobs his head. "I think I deserve to know why my parents thought I was useless enough to be abandoned. " The pain is evident in his voice, and I shake my head, grabbing hold of his shoulder, and squeezing the skin slightly."I don't want you to ever think like that again, babe. You're not useless, and their answers will prove that. " I tell him with a wide smile, and he pulls me flush against his side; his lips melting against my forehead, and I shut my eyes at the warmth that spread over the skin."I love you, Dawn. Really fucking much. " He whispers, and I smile; raising my head to meet his gaze, before saying, "I love you too, Ryder. Really fucking
