Scarlett’s POV
Finally, after that conversation, the atmosphere improved, and they didn't ask any more questions about what I was doing. They must have accepted the fact that I wouldn't tell them, but I also noticed that Liam’s behavior towards me changed. It could just be the result of the news I just shared, and I could feel that we would need to have another better conversation later.
When lunchtime arrived, the mood was much lighter, and as soon as we finished eating, Oliver bid everybody goodbye. While I stayed inside the house, I took Liam's hand and pulled him towards the bedroom. With Liam, it was always better to discuss things that were bothering him either right away or as soon as possible. As soon as we entered the room, I closed the door behind us and looked at him.
"Scar
Liam's POVScarlett's touches were driving me crazy with pleasure, despite it only being her hands, I felt more alive and happier with each passing moment. I hesitantly pulled my lips away from hers. Although part of me wanted to hold her down and savor every moan she uttered, I knew that it would be unfair to her as wanted to touch me just as much as I wanted to touch her.I lowered my head and peppered her with kisses across her chin, neck, shoulders, and then returned to find the curve of her neck. The vein in her neck was pulsing heavily so I lowered my head, closing my mouth over it and sucked hard, which made Scarlett dig her nails into my back as she screamed in pleasure.Despite all the fights, so many revelations, I still wanted to mark her to show everyone that she belonged to me and that I would protect her at all costs. My wolf remained irritated and wanted to have his own conversation with Scarlett, but that will have to wait for later.I sucked on her neck, on the markin
Scarlett's POVWhen I woke up, I blinked several times before I could focus my gaze. I was so happy to be in Liam's arms. After everything that happened, we managed to sort things out between us. There were so many revelations and there were still so many more to come, but I knew my bond with Liam would never break that easily.For a brief moment, I was afraid that Liam wouldn't understand.I smiled, adjusting myself in his arms, I could feel my legs aching and also a slight burning sensation between my legs as the night was intense."If you keep moving like that..." I heard Grimm's voice. His voice was more hoarse, heavier, and emitted a different kind of power.I lifted my head to look at him. It wasn’t common for this to happen. I think it's the first time that I've seen him in control. He was looking at me with intense curiosity. I had already felt him the day I came back to discuss the contract, when Klaus's wolf took control, and I knew that it was Grimm who stood between Klaus
Scarlett’s POVI woke with a start, my heart racing, recalling what happened the night before. I sat up in bed, still feeling slightly groggy, and brought my hand to the curve of my neck where Grimm had bitten me, trying to feel whether he left his mark. Despite having accepted Liam and Grimm into my life, I wasn't fully prepared to be marked just yet, and the thought of it terrified me."Calm down Lettie, he didn't mark you." Liam said in a voice that soothed my worries and brought me some relief. I turned my face towards him. "It was almost as if he did mark you, but didn’t. Not completely. That spot is very sensitive, and you were so aroused that you ended up climaxing when he bit down a little harder."I breathed a sigh of relief, letting out the air I hadn't realized I was holding. I noticed a strange emotion pass over Liam's features, but I couldn't quite identify what it was."I’m sorry. I just feel as if it's too soon for that." I explained, trying to organize my thoughts. "We
Klaus’ POV - Some time laterScarlett and Liam had become much closer, and she had already met Grimm. It seemed that the fights were enough to strengthen the bond between them, and I was so happy to see my friend so happy that it appeared as though he was on cloud nine. Moreover, Scarlett seemed to be the right person despite having made some bad decisions. I understood what Oliver meant and saw my own mistakes as well, being that I never paid any attention to Alicia.The first thing I did was ask Keenan to investigate all the women Alicia might have hurt. Scarlett gave me the report she obtained, and I was quite angered when I read everything that was written in the report. I also knew, however, that I couldn’t take it out on her. Not yet anyway. What I did know though, was that Alicia was going to pay dearly, for everything. Even though Scarlett had already taken her revenge on her. I still had many accounts to settle with Alicia Harvey. Who the hell did she think she was to manipula
Klaus POVWhen I heard her utter those words, it brought me a whole new and different kind of happiness. They weren’t just empty words. I knew Scarlett could have anyone else she chose to have. If she asked, she would find another Master in no time, but she still chose me... I knew that, for many, this might seem foolish, but not to me. I have fought with Liam about Scarlett's preferences. I know what she loves to feel, her endurance, and that many times I needed to use more force than usual, but that was because more force made Scarlett more excited. That, and the fact that I was able to read her body, must have counted in my favor.“My girl.” I spoke affectionately and saw the genuine smile form on her luscious lips, happy to not want to push me away anymore. I brought my hand to her neck and caressed it. “Soon, I will adorn that neck with something that make everyone know that you belong to me.”It was the very first time I have ever spoken about this. About giving her a collar. Thi
Klaus’s POVShe tasted more bittersweet than before and I loved it. I knew she was changing her diet, which among other things, like using the correct soap, which adjusts the body’s pH levels, would cause the taste to be either sweeter or more acidic.I licked and sucked her outer lips, pulling them and stretching them forward. She started to tremble and move to close her legs, but I placed both hands on her inner thighs, keeping them wide open and her pussy completely exposed.I took care to not be too hard on her and just kept tasting and enjoying her until I finally lifted my head a little to run the tip of my tongue over her very red and swollen clit. She let out soft sighs of relief and I knew that she must be extremely sensitive.I moved my tongue around her clit to draw more moans from her and didn’t leave her hanging. Scarlett tried to reciprocate, but her body was weak as she no longer had the energy to try to close her legs. When I lifted my head to check on her, she was havi
Klaus's POVScarlett's body was weak, numb, and slightly limp, but I wasn’t finished yet. I wanted at least one more orgasm from her. I scissored my fingers loosening up her tight ass muscles and then pressed my fingers deeper inside, twisting and rotating my hand."Mas…ter…" Scarlett whimpered my name. Her voice completely broken and low."Speak." My voice also came out hoarser than I anticipated, but I continued rotating my fingers until I felt the muscles become more relaxed and forced a third finger in."I… don't… know…" She started, but couldn’t complete what she wanted to sayI let go of her legs by just lowering them and left them open."You can and you will, I haven't finished with you yet." I warned her. I gathered more of her juices with my free hand, leaned forward a little and pressed my wet fingers to her lips.She opened her eyes when I spread the liquid on her lips, which were so swollen and red from her virtually chewing on them from pleasure, and she licked off all the
Scarlett's POVIt's been seven days since I spoke to Klaus, and since then my life has gone to hell, a little. I had to rush to finish a few orders and had to work beyond my regular hours. Some machines broke down, which took three days to replace, causing a delay I could barely afford. One of the stores at the mall had a big sale on wedding dresses, which they needed as soon as possible, so I needed to restock and also design a whole new collection.As if that wasn't enough, there I was invited to attend a new red-carpet event and discovered that Liam and Klaus would also be there. This would be the perfect opportunity for us to announce that Liam and I were dating. Despite the rumors already spreading, we haven't made any official statements yet. This also meant that my dress needed to be absolutely perfect. I put Alicia's issues aside but asked John and Roman to monitor it very closely, and to let me know the moment any problems arose."DAMN!" I screamed as I threw my glass against
Scarlett's POV - 6 Months LaterMy company was thriving. I rented a larger warehouse, hired more seamstresses, and even a few interns in fashion and design. Cristiane learned quickly, which gave me more freedom to take care of more important business.Vivian and John were getting along well. With the therapy that they were both attending, they started talking to each other again and were developing a romantic relationship, although Vivian still had issues with being touched.I hadn’t received any more news about my parents' situation, which meant that they were truly dead, and there was nothing to be done about it. So, I stopped worrying a long time ago.My relationship with Klaus and Liam had evolved significantly. We now practically knew each others’ thoughts, and our scenes have become stronger. The Veritas club was our favorite place to set up scenes and have parties and get-togethers. The only difference was that now, at parties, I use condoms with other men for safety, even when
Scarlett's POV"They didn't abandon me?" I asked softly to no one in particular...I honestly didn't know that I would be so affected by this. I was already completely fine knowing that I had been left at the orphanage as that was all I was told my entire life. That and that no one liked me.Surviving was the only thing that mattered, because it didn't matter if I was abandoned or not, I would keep living and get out of that damn place. The people who wronged me would pay for their actions. Oliver did that; he avenged me. When I told him about the houses I went through, about almost being raped a few times... I saw the report of what he did and was happy to know that I had been avenged."From what it seems, no... They were trying to escape, but were found before they could. I don't know why Rifle took you to the orphanage." Jonah replied.I traced my finger over my mother's face, wondering what would have become of me if they had been alive and had managed to escape. Then a drop fell
Scarlett's POV - One Week LaterIt's been a week since John and Vivian’s rescue. I’ve moved into Klaus and Liam's apartment, and our relationship was solid, which even helped when playing out our scenes. The way we surrendered to each other was absolutely phenomenal.With their help, we bought two smaller apartments on the lower floors, one for John and another for Vivian and Cristiane. The three of them were undergoing therapy, and I could see that they were all doing much better.John started training with Roman, and was now in charge of security, his team having joined Keenan's, as it was virtually impossible and quite complicated to follow all three of us all the time.The gossip magazines soon announced that I was moving. They had taken photos of the moving truck, but that wasn't a problem for us. However, we did try to keep our relationship with Klaus under wraps and away from the cameras and reporters as much as possible.As I sat in my office at the apartment, tablet in hand, w
Scarlett's POVI hugged Liam and we all walked to the main room together. As soon as Klaus closed the door, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes tightly, resting my head in the middle of Liam's chest."Finally." Liam whispered and picked me up, then sat on the couch with me in his lap.Everything that has happened was so difficult and just as complicated."We are here for you." Klaus said as he sat down beside me.We remained silent until I finally felt more comfortable and the pain I felt subsided enough to enable me to move."Better?" Liam asked, noticing that my body had become more relaxed."Yes, much better. Thank you." I replied, still with my eyes closed."What do you plan to do now?" Klaus asked."Go back to my apartment, rent the empty apartments around me, for them, and move on with my life." I replied with the most logical thing I could think of."After what happened, I know you have excellent security..." Liam began to speak while gently caressing my hair. "Klaus and I t
Scarlett's POVWhen lunch finally ended, the doctor checked the Gabriel’s, Roman’s and Oliver’s bandages again to see that all was still okay and in place, which it was. There was still a little bleeding here and there, which the Doctor said would be normal. The afternoon passed with Gabriel, Roman and Oliver telling us a little more about the events and what exactly went down.John’s special assignment entailed him being sent directly into an ambush, and when Oliver arrived to help him, he was already running away, having received the first shot and the second one grazing him. With Oliver's help, they managed to eliminate all Bullet's men at the scene.Meanwhile, Roman and Gabriel went to retrieve Vivian. Since she was at the top of the pack, where the main house of the pack is located, it was more difficult to reach her, but Oliver's group had set fire to one of Bullet's storage sheds, causing a distraction... The distraction was however as well as very sadly, not enough to prevent h
Scarlett's POVI put on some calm ambient music and watched Vivian. The medication caused her to pass out so completely that I doubted she’d even be dreaming. So I got up quietly, careful not to wake her, took a deep breath, and left the room, leaving my phone behind to keep playing the soothing music while she slept.As I came out of the room I left Vivian, I heard voices coming from another room nearby and walked towards it. Once I entered the room I saw Oliver and John lying on the bed, Roman and Gabriel stood nearby, and Klaus and Liam were standing on the furthest side. They must have been talking about what happened. Everyone turned to look at me at the same time."She's going to need a lot of therapy," I said, taking a deep breath to keep the anger I felt from showing. It wasn’t needed right now. "Is he dead?" I asked in a cold clipped tone."Yes," Oliver replied. "John wants to be his replacement."I immediately looked at John and saw him shrink. I tilted my head a little and n
Scarlett's POVI barely slept last night, but being with Liam helped me rest a little better than I would have otherwise. However, since I didn't receive any updates from either Oliver or Roman, I was much more worried.The breakfast table was set, but I could barely serve myself or eat. My mind was elsewhere. Liam, noticing my distraction, placed a piece of toast on my plate."You need to eat," he tried to encourage me.I raised my head to look at him; everything seemed a bit blurry. I found it hard to focus my gaze on anything. I let out a soft grunt and shook my head."Heavens!" I said and stood up.I was not the type of person who just remained still and idle like an idiot. I didn’t have much to do with regards Vivian or her situation, nor anything that was currently happening, but I could do much more than what I was currently doing, which felt like nothing. I took a deep breath, getting my emotions sorted and under control."Hey..." Liam called to me and hugged me.I smiled, retu
Scarlett's POV"I know it won’t be easy, Oliver. Especially seeing as both of them owe Bullet life debts, which is why I haven't been able to get them out yet. I wanted to finish paying off Cristine's debt tomorrow, but now I’m not sure whether it’s better to wait and rather get all three of them out at once or try to get them out one by one." I said, trying to suggest solutions."I'll think of something," Oliver said as he took a deep breath. "Let's talk more a little later, but ask Cristine to stay with you and warn John and Vivian to get ready." He said in conclusion of our conversation."Thank you, Oliver," I said and hung up.I looked at Cristine."You're sleeping at my place tonight," I told her.I opened my messaging app and sent a message to John and another to Vivian.John was the first to respond with a question mark.Me: [Prepare to leave the pack. Plans have changed.]Me.John: [Are you sure? I can manage.]Me: [Yes, I'm sure. If you can, go to my apartment.]John: [I'll try
Scarlett's POVI arrived at the hotel and went to the SPA’s reception area. I checked in and was firstly ushered to a massage room. The staff were extremely polite, and it didn't take long for me to start relaxing.I started experiencing a little pain as the massage progressed, especially in areas where the muscles were most tense, but when the massage was completed, I felt much better.The next item on the agenda for the day was a full-body skin cleansing, where they had you soak in a wine tub into which various spices were added. It was a great treatment, except for wanting to drink the wine, which appeared to be normal behaviour as they brought me a glass of wine to drink while soaking.After an hour of wine-soaking, I exited the tub and was led to a shower. Once I was done in the shower someone took me through to the salon where the manicures and pedicures were done. As soon as I entered, I recognised a few of the patrons, but the one who caught my attention the most was Alicia. Sh
