I can’t believe Elizabeth caused such a scene. This was not the way I wanted things to go. Of course, I planned to tell Elizabeth we couldn’t see each other again. She’s Adder’s sister. And beyond that, I’m not all that interested in her. I don’t even know why I went on the dates I did, let alone slept with her.
No, that's not true. I know why. I’m just ashamed of it. I’m ashamed that I was only with Elizabeth because physically, she reminded me of Adder. But even then, she fell short. I’m a piece of shit. I slept with a girl because she slightly resembled the woman I truly wanted. I will be going to hell when I die. I’m sure of it.
I settled things with the manager. Not the first time I’ve randomly paid for strangers' meals. Sometimes at restaurants like this, but more often, I arran

It was strange but a good strange as we finished eating talking about our plans for the flat. The idea that when we move, I won’t have my own room hasn’t really settled into my brain yet. I don’t even know how to begin to process that.It isn’t like I haven’t shared a bed with Mason before. We shared a bed for the remaining semester of his freshman year of university. But that was different. I was practically a kid back then. Sharing his bed now would be different. And that thought sent shivers through me, the good kind.“A penny for your thoughts, pet?” Mason questioned as we got into the car. “Hmm?” I blinked, looking over at him. I hadn’t even realized we finished lunch, let alone got in the car. “You look a bit lost in thought. Not often do you zone out like that. Everything okay?&rdquo
I don’t get embarrassed easily. But Gabby walking in on us is now the most embarrassing moment of my life. In all the years I’ve been sexually active, I’ve only been walked in one other time. And it was Ashton that walked in.The girl was more embarrassed than I was. I could have cared less that Ashton interrupted. But to have my little sister walk in, that was almost as bad as the idea of my parents walking in on us.“Never have I wished I was an only child so badly.” I grumbled, sighing, looking for my shirt. Adder snickered, drawing my attention to her. “What’s so funny, pet?” I asked but was smiling. “Is this what you’re looking for?” she asked, tugging at the shirt that she was wearing.Fuck, that’s hot. I’ve never let a w
HOLY SHIT! My body was buzzing as I shut the bedroom door behind me. That really just happened. I just had sex with Mason. I just had sex with Mason! I reached down and pinched my arm, wincing at the pain. Nope, not a dream. I tried to take a few calming breaths as I walked across the hall to the bathroom. My thighs and core muscles were tight, and each step hurt a little. Sure I’ve heard enough, read enough, and watched enough television to know the first time is going to hurt, and if you get shagged properly, it can leave you walking funny. I didn’t buy the bullshit. I thought it was all fabricated. And sure the first thrust hurt, Mason, isn’t a small man. Oh no, he was not small. Even if I’ve not seen any other cocks in person for comparison, I know he’s probably above average. I can still remember coming face to face with what he’s been hiding in those sl
I was still in utter shock at Elizabeth’s audacity. She posted that photo claiming we were engaged an hour after our altercation at the restaurant, where I told her very clearly we would never be together and that I’m with Adder. So much for enjoying the afterglow of sex and maybe going a second round. Now we are sitting in my family’s living room, or rather she and Gabby are sitting while I’m pacing with my phone to my ear.“No, father. I am not engaged least of all to that social climbing little shit.” I sighed, repeating myself for what felt like the millionth time since my dad called me. “Then you better start explaining. We received a phone call from the Duckworth-Chads wanting to set a date for a formal engagement party, wanting to schedule photos for an engagement announcement, and then talk dates for the wedding.” dad growled.
I’d already assumed having a relationship with Mason would have obstacles. We are from two very different worlds. And the people in his world look down on people like me. Even if I weren’t obviously a meta-human, they’d look down on me for having been in an orphanage and then living on the streets. To them, I was scum.But I don’t care what any of them think. They can all collectively go fuck themselves. The only person whose opinion matters is Mason’s. Just like he told his father, we filed the necessary paperwork with the company disclosing our relationship so that no one could cry foul.We even managed to close on the flat, and till the renovations were finished, we were staying at his family’s London house. Today was our first day at the office. I’d had to buy new clothes for this job since apparently ac
Here I’d been hoping to have a nice quiet first day in the office. Even though I’ve been finding it hard to be focused with Adder walking around wearing that suit, then again, I’d be distracted by her no matter what she’s wearing. It’s like someone flipped a switch in my head after I kissed her and confessed my feelings for her because now I can’t even pretend she’s just a friend.I should have known that I wouldn’t get a quiet day. All hope of that was ruined when James and Laura Duckworth-Chad forced their way into my office. I’d wanted to avoid ever having them in the same room as Adder. They aren’t fit to be near her. I wanted to such the air from their lungs for how they were speaking to her.But I didn’t because I can’t fight this battle for her. And well, my pet was doing quite
Why did I agree to escort these stupid fucks out again? Oh, right, because I don’t trust that fat fuck guard. At least the lift ride to the lobby was entertaining. They were fighting like cats and dogs. James demanded to know who Laura was cheating on him with, and Laura denied it. It was very entertaining. I don’t know for sure if James was my sperm donor. Yes, that's what I’m going to refer to him as going forward. And Laura is the egg donor. I don’t want to give them titles that indicate any real kinship between them and I. “Lobby. Everyone out.” I hissed and shoved them out of the lift. “Get your hands off me!” Laura shouted. I rolled my eyes and kept prodding the pair forward. “I don’t give a fuck. Now move. I nodded at the three receptionists at the front desk who were looking at the scene before them wide-eyed. Two of the guards were also watching from
There are only a few members of the board that I can stomach. And that number went down as some I’d liked before got behind Clark Scrivens. And what’s worse is he’s not even the head of the board. No, Ronald Marsden just remained silent for all that. And that’s put him on my shit list too. Anyone with a problem with Adder has a problem with me.Adder was, of course, fantastic, even if a little crass as she put them all in their place. They underestimated her, and that’s something you never do. I know Adder took coming to work here seriously. She takes her job as my bodyguard seriously too. Fuck she’s taken that job seriously since we met, and she wasn’t even getting paid for it.So now I have sixty days to close this big deal and prove that being CEO of my family’s company isn’t just my right as the heir but
