I stayed in bed for a few more moments, watching Aiden sleep peacefully after all the passion we had just shared. Eventually, I decided to move ever so carefully, ensuring not to jostle him or disturb his slumber. I reached over and grabbed some clothes in near silence before getting up and out of the bed. As much as I could have stayed there longer, I knew it was time for me to fix everything.I walked over to the cabinet and slowly opened it, a mix of emotions flooding over me as soon as our eyes met. A sense of shame came bubbling up unexpectedly and I found myself blushing with embarrassment.Adam didn't say anything, but I noticed he was avoiding making eye contact with me. His face had turned a light shade of pink and he quickly stepped away from the cabinet. Following suit, I moved swiftly to guide him out of the room. We made our way into the hallway in an uncomfortable silence until finally we reach the front of his unit.We were all standing there in stunned silence, unable
“It was overwhelming! It feels like I was weighing everything in my shoulder, like I was having to bear so much responsibility!”“Yeah…”“I noticed that everyone looked a little silly. I couldn't help but smirk at the sight of it all, you know? Fortunately, I knew that I was standing out amongst them. My outfit was superior and more refined than anyone else's in the room.”“Hmmm…good for you.”There was a prolonged hush. I assumed that the conversation had ended, so I glanced at my phone to check if the call had dropped, only to see that it was still going. My eyebrows knit together in perplexity.“Honey? Are you still there-”“You know what? Let’s end this call. You’re not even listening to me.”“Wait-”And then there it was, before I could even finish my sentence she had already hit the red button. I closed my eyes and sighed in defeat, quickly typing out a message to send her before I placed my phone down. The feeling of regret mixed with sadness was settling in and it almost felt
“From now on, you’re coming with me everywhere I go.”I stopped in my tracks when Aiden let out those words. My eyes slowly moved up to his, only to be met with a stern gaze. His expression was one of dominance. He stood there, seemingly confident and at ease, as if waiting for me to accept his request. It was hard for me to not be overwhelmed by the moment; this formidable man before me.I feel myself looking downwards towards the ground, a habit of mine when I sense that someone is watching me. Especially when it's someone like Aiden. He usually has this intense gaze which makes me feel exposed, as if he can see right through to my soul. It's one of those involuntary reactions; I just look away and take a deep breath in order to try and compose myself. Even though I'm not sure what it is that Aiden looks for in my eyes, I can't still look at him straight in the eyes.“A-are you going to leave now?” I asked him, making sure I composed the right sentence.“Tomorrow.”I nodded in agree
“Darling, come here!”I rose from my seat the second Aiden called out to me. All morning I had been a bundle of nerves, to the point where I could barely sit still. The fact that he had woken me up before the rooster even crowed didn't help matters any, and it only heightened my apprehension. Still, despite my trepidation, I was determined to do what was asked of me.“Y-yes?”I cautiously made my way to the living room as instructed by him, and when I arrived at my destination, I was taken aback when I realized that there was someone else present in the room. In addition to him, there was another man standing in the corner. The stranger had an unfamiliar face but one that didn't quite thaw my nerves. Anxiety surged through me as he welcomed me with a slight nod of his head; any chilliness in his demeanor seemed unnecessary considering why we were all gathered.“Darling, this is Bent. He's a master in the art of cosmetics and has gained a formidable reputation around the world. His ski
My thoughts were swirling while he was meticulously affixing a myriad of glittery decorations to my face. I didn't recognize myself in the mirror as more and more pieces were added; it felt surreal to have these sparkly adornments being so carefully placed one by one. I could see his concentration in action, but all I could focus on was trying to make sense of why this was happening. It wasn't that I didn't like what he was doing – it's just that his meticulous words earlier left me hanging until now.What did he mean by that? Aiden is controlling me? But how could that be possible? I mean, he may act in a less than pleasant manner at times, but more often than not Aiden is loving and kind and always ensures my safety.Aiden is a kind and gentle individual, there's no way he could be manipulating me in any way. But now, even with his polite demeanor and warm smile, I can’t help but feel as if something isn't quite right.“And you’re…done!”I was suddenly jarred back to reality when Be
Before I could even process what was happening, Aiden had already wrapped his hand around the back of my neck and pulled me in so I was just inches away from his face.His grip was strong and determined as he kept me tightly held in place, not letting me escape. I could feel my heart rate increase as anxiety filled my body and as we locked eyes, it felt like time stopped still. He stared deep into my eyes with an unmatched intensity that made it hard for me to look away.“A-aiden-”I gasped when he intentionally lifted my right leg and wrapped it around his hips, the slit of my dress making sure to expose my inner thighs in the process. His powerful hands grabbed onto them, spanking them hard. I wanted to yell at him to stop, but couldn't seem to muster up the courage or find the words. I felt completely powerless in that moment; all I could do was succumb to his every whim as a shocked shiver coursed through my veins.“Do you have any inkling of how incredibly attractive and breathta
A long silence descended upon us, each of us lost in our own thoughts. I couldn't help but fidget as I nervously wrung my hands together and glanced up to meet his gaze on occasion. Anxiety still hung thickly in the air between us, but neither of us made a move to break it. I felt compelled to stay rooted to my spot out of a combination of fear and anticipation. Would he break the silence first? Or would I have the courage to be the one who spoke first?After our passionate encounter earlier, he acted like nothing happened, leaving the burden of tidying up to me. We exited the condo building and made our way towards a sumptuous looking car. I couldn't help but feel confused and hurt by his indifference; hadn't we just shared something special moments ago? At this point I was still trying to process my emotions, not sure how to react. We rode in silence most of the way.“A-aiden…”I squeezed my eyes shut tightly when I let loose his name into the silence. The sound seemed to linger in
“A-aiden, there’s a lot of people.”I move closer to him, suddenly feeling quite uncomfortable in the midst of all these people who look like they are from a very high society.Everywhere I turn I see elegantly dressed individuals with expensive-looking jewelry and confident mannerisms. They have an aura of power and influence around them that makes me feel insecure and small. It's clear that we don't belong here among these elite individuals, and my anxiety grows as I wonder if we will somehow be exposed as frauds.He tried to explain it to me, "This is an event, and I could feel your breast. This isn't a complaint, though." I felt my cheeks flush at his words; I couldn't deny the feeling of his hand or the thrill that had come with it.Taking in a deep breath, I tightened my grip on his arm and refused to let go. Security and assurance both washed over me when Aiden was near; it was a sensation I'd grown to rely on each and every day. In many ways, he shielded me from the unknown -
