View MoreNATHAN’S POVRocking back and forth in my chair and thinking on how to approach the matter of the Tabloids this morning, I was damn near my breaking point. I groaned inwardly when her scent hit me, it was a scent that had managed to drive me crazy and keep me grounded at the same time over the years. I knew it was her even with my eyes closed. She knows now… I thought, she knows about my feelings. Perhaps I should have just died with that knowledge but… somehow it got out last night. All I’ve ever wanted was for her to be happy, sometimes I wonder if that was a mistake I’d made for myself, but then again, it’s not like I could have forced her. I mean… I could’ve told her but… I just couldn’t bring myself to do it or say those three words that keeps fluttering in my head. “What is it that you want Dev?” I asked, my exhaustion seeping into my voice. “I want to apologize” she was walking towards me now, but I don’t know if I can take that so I stopped her with a harsh “don’t…” she s
DEVONNE’S POVWhen I came to again, I saw that I was lying down on a couch in my living room. “You’re awake”. I turned in the direction of the voice, “Arian…” “Devonne I’m sorry” he said, coming to kneel in front of me and looking for the world like he was afraid. “I’ll never want to hurt you, I’ll never want to do anything that would make you sad and I’m so sorry” he ran his hands through his hair “you’ve got me wound up so tight, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore” I sat up, and cupped his face with my hands, “Arian… all those months in Italy, I didn’t know how much they meant to me until I had to leave, I didn’t know how much I was used to bickering with you until I was faced with the quietness of my own company, but sometimes I feel we both find it so difficult to communicate, it’s annoying… but I think it’s something we both ought to work on. I want to try this with you Arian, everyday I spent apart from you these last few weeks have been pure discomfort” having finally le
DEVONNE’S POVTanya appeared about half hour later in a flurry of pink and spent a good ten minutes doting on Nathan which made me… honestly… throw up a little in my mouth. “So… we’re going to the spa first” she said excitedly as we got into her car… yes her car. Nathan made sure to hide my keys, the motherfucking bastard. “Yay” I said dully… “I’ve always wanted a girls outing like this!” She said and tore out of my driveway. “You have them all the time Tanya” “oh no, this is different, I pay for everything on those outings with those leeches, I’m not spending anything on this one and I was told to go wild” she said and before I could ask her what she meant, she held up a black card. Nathan’s Card. “Oh” I just said and she huffed out a breath. “You really don’t like me, do you?” She asked and I was surprised. Maybe it was that surprise or the tone with which she asked me but… “no Tanya, no I don’t” “can you at least pretend? For today?” “What do you think I’ve been doing?” I ask s
ARIAN’S POV“She’s being annoying Edward, she wouldn’t let herself have anything good” I vented to Edward over the phone. “Glad you see yourself as something good” came the voice over the phone. “This is not the time to be sarcastic”, he sighed, “look Arian… Devonne has been through enough in her life, she obviously isn’t gonna trust you because you took her out on a date twice” “fine” I ground out and hung up. I leaned back on my couch, putting my arm over my eyes, “fucking stubborn mate…” I muttered and damn if the challenge she put out wasn’t turning me on like crazy. “Fu…ck” I groaned, I could jerk off, maybe it would reduce the pressure but… no, I won’t. The next time I was going to cum, I would be buried deep inside of Devonne. The thought of it had my cock straining against my pants but I simply would not acknowledge it. If she wanted to annoy me, then I would annoy her right back. I picked up my phone and dialed a number. After that I hit the gym, working out all the frustr
DEVONNE’S POV“Nuh uh, we’re taking my car”. I swear if looks could kill… yeah Arian would be dead, “but I like my car just fine” I protested and made to unlock my car but the keys were snatched from my hands. “Hmm, let’s just say, I’m not really comfortable with you driving any vehicle that I’m gonna be in” he said, holding the keys out of my reach. I eventually gave up and folded my arms. “You act like Ava when she doesn’t get what she wants” he chuckled and went to open the passenger door of his SUV for me. “You know what Arian?” I said as I got in “hmm?” “I refused to be annoyed by you today…” he laughed, shutting the door. “Glad you find me amusing” I muttered under my breath. We arrived at my Mother’s house, and just as we got there, it dawned on me that I never called to tell her that I was coming over. And most certainly not that I was bringing this hulking idiot with me. Oh well… guess we just might get it over with, I thought stepping out of the car. I was almost at the d
DEVONNE’S POVI was smiling while making cookies the next morning when Nathan walked into the kitchen, he was practically living in my house now, but thank God he slept out last night, because I don’t think I would be able to explain why I was moaning loudly in the living room, neither would I be able to get over the trauma if he had walked in on me and Arian. Speaking of Arian… I thought about our date last night, I had every reason to be skeptical but for whatever reason it was, I was just going with everything. “Uhm Hello… Earth to Devonne” Nathan was saying, waving his hands in my face. “Well good Morning to you too Nate” I said happily, “someone’s in a good mood” he noted with a smile of his own. “Hot date last night?” He asked, making me turn to stare at him. He had one brow up. “Well…” He just chuckled and scrolled on his phone, bringing up an article and showing his screen to me. It was a picture of Arian helping me out of the car and there was another of us coming out, whe
DEVONNE’S POV THE next day I was all dressed up and ready to go to work in green blazers and a tight skirt that came to stop mid thigh. Inappropriate? Well…that’s why I own the place. I pulled on my knee high heeled boots. I straightened my hair and let it down, applying some red gloss and blotting it with a tissue. Then I stepped out putting on a pair of sunglasses on my way to the car. I didn’t bother with jewelry except a wrist watch and a simple gold chain. When I arrived at the office, I received quite the welcome from my secretary, rattling off appointments and stuff that I needed to do. Sometimes I wonder if Sansa was human. But well, there’s only so much I can do about her being so good. Everything was going well, until I stepped into my office to find it filled with flowers. There were flowers everywhere, including on my desk, flowers of every kind and every color. At least a path was created for me to walk to my desk. Which as I finally looked up, was occupied by a certai
DEVONNE’S POVI had just come out of the shower, I decided to let my hair dry on it’s own and just sat in front of my mirror. I looked okay I guess, there was more color on my face. A knock on my door had me saying “come in” without considering who it could be. Maybe it was Nathan or one of my parents were back. What I did not expect though, was to see Arian walk into my room. I was instantly on my feet. He was looking exceptionally good in a well pressed lilac shirt and black pants, but I wasn’t about to tell him that. “What are you doing here? How’d you get in?” I demanded. “One, I’m here to see you, two, You left a key under the flowerpot” he drawled and just started approaching me. “Stay there!” I said, not wanting to have him anywhere close to me “Why though?” He asked still walking to me, at this point I had left my vanity and was now backing towards my closet.‘Because I just had a wet dream about you few hours back and I can’t trust my mind and body not to react to you’ I w
DEVONNE’S POVMY Dad came by later at night, Nathan in tow, looking very exhausted. I had my Mom move me downstairs again for dinner and so I could watch TV. “Where have you two been?” I asked in an accusatory tone “we had some work to take care of” my Dad replied. “I need to see Bri and Josh tomorrow Dad” I told him and he sighed “can we….. talk about this tomorrow? I’m sorry Dev but I’m beat and I really need to start heading home now”. I frowned at him “aren’t you gonna stay here?” He cleared his throat awkwardly “uhm, no….I ah. I just have to go” “Me too” my Mom blurted from where she was seated and I narrowed my eyes at both of them. “I’ll stay here with you Devonne, I don’t have anything doing at home anyway” Nathan said a bit quietly. I opened my mouth to ask questions but Nathan just cut me off. “They haven’t rested at all Devonne” and I immediately felt guilty. “Okay” I just said and watched them both walk out after each giving me a kiss on the head. And then I was alone
I was a child again, feeling his dirty hands on me, groping at my clothes while forcing my legs apart. The image shifted and I was driving a knife into his body over and over and over again I woke up gasping for breath, it’s really crazy how These nightmares started again a month ago, so I’ve been drowning myself in wine and men, it helps for the most part, but it is crazy. First thing I noticed after jerking awake was the killer headache I was sporting, second thing I noticed, was that there was a stranger in my bed. I stared long and hard at his face…. what was his name again? Jake? …..Zeke? Ugh dang it! “Hey wake up!” I said while shaking him violently, “ Hey babe” came the reply, I was staring at brown eyes and the brown eyes were roaming my naked body. Le sigh, we’re doing this again. “Call me babe one more time and I just might pluck out those eyes of yours, check the drawer on your side of the bed, get some cash and get the hell out of my building” I said, slowly and softly...
