Klaus POV
The moment we saw her in the garden standing, next to those roses, was like seeing a nature nymph in her personal garden. The dress she was wearing fell perfectly around her curves, the metallic gray tone reminiscent of the color of fallen snow. The lower lighting made the air around her even more mystical.
Liam was tense and nervous. This was, after all, the girl who had touched him, and his wolf, in a way he could never have expected. I couldn’t deny that I had also been charmed by her, but I was just simply not as involved as Liam was.
We received delivery of the clothes, which were manufactured from her designed drawings, this morning. It was undoubtedly our choice of clothing that we would be wearing to this gala. It would be the perfect opportunity due the fact that the even
Scarlett POVWhen Will approached me, I hadn't intended to be so harsh and distant with him, but knowing that they were using my creations and had brought someone else along... It went to my head and I didn't think straight.I accused them both without having any proof and ended up having to apologize, but at least now I know they weren't with that woman and they hadn't invited me either, which left the question open, who invited me to this event?It wasn't Oliver, he had assured me of that... Until I got here, it hadn't bothered me, only now, with Nick and Will here, it didn't seem to be just an ordinary invitation... Normal people believe in coincidences, I never believed in that.I took out my cell phone from its hidden pocket and looked at the messages.
Liam POVThe rest of the event went by monotonously. I usually enjoyed these gatherings, but since meeting Helen... I mean Scarlett... My head hasn't been thinking straight. I understand that Helen was just a fantasy and the woman in front of me was someone else.Her words and her cold, distant demeanor, with a touch of irritation, were enough for me to truly understand that she wasn't coming back and that she had moved on. I'm glad Klaus didn't say: “I told you so.”The evening seemed to drag on and I tried my best to keep smiling and socializing and even made attempts at a few jokes. Klaus was completely opposite to me and disliked these events as much as I used to love them, but we attended as it was always good for business.“Let's go
Klaus POVThe rest of the night went relatively uneventful. On arrival we showed her to the room where she would be spending the night. We did however have a slight problem. We had no women's clothing in this house. It wasn't something we ever thought about, as we usually never brought other people to stay over here, but Keenan said that he would attend to it.After about half an hour of cleaning and tidying up, it was finally only me, Liam and Keenan in the office.“Have you been able to discover anything yet?” I asked Keenan.“No... However, I did find that the cameras that cover that exit were turned off approximately 10 minutes before Scarlett went there and they were purposefully kept off for the entire time that whatever
Liam POVThis time we were definitely wrong. Scarlett never seemed like the kind of person who wanted to depend on others, even when she was with us, she always found a way to be independent, whether it was in the clothes she chose to wear, when she deciding on what food she should make to eat, or wether she chose the series and movies she enjoyed watching on the television. She only gave herself away when we played, but we only just managed to gain her during the last few days.'I'd better apologize soon... This is our chance to get close to her again! Don't be stupid enough to miss it!’ Grim said in my mind.“Sorry.” I said sincerely and stood up. “It wasn't fair of us to think the way we had... We didn't know much about you and we jumped to conclusio
Scarlett POVI walked in and went straight to the bedroom to get the dress I'd worn last night. I folded it up neatly and tried to fix it up as best as I could. I definitely needed to fix it. I wasn't going to let it stay all torn and broken simply because I didn’t feel well about what happened. My work of art didn't deserve to stay in this condition either.Sleeping here, so close to Klaus and Liam, was very hard, to say the least. Knowing that they were around and so close... Apart from the argument we had this morning, a part of me still reacted, so instinctively, to both of them, seeking their affection and acceptance.Keenan dropped me off at my studio. The ride back was completely silent, but when he stopped he didn't open the doors.“Miss
Klaus POVIt had been two weeks since our last meeting with Scarlett. Liam, as per his promise to Scarlett, was following her brand and she was doing very well, her store always seemed full and several influencers were helping her spread the word.Keenan had been notified of what had happened to Victor, who was forced to pay a certain sum of money to Scarlett in respect of damages caused, as well as having to apologize to her. A restraining order had also been obtained prohibiting him from coming within 5 kilometers of Scarlett or her work premises. This got him banned from the mall. Victor was also admitted to hospital with several broken bones, which were spread throughout his body.I think that if it hadn't been for Victor's status, he wouldn't have been left alive. Keenan informed us that Oli
Liam POVVeritas is one of the most exclusive clubs there is. Booking something or asking for a particular scene could be very complicated due to the fact that it didn’t just involve money. It also required a lot of influence and then, finally, the beauty of the whole. Few people ever got anything concrete, but from the moment I walked in I realized that several things were different. The decor was changed to resemble a medieval setup, which made the place look as though it belonged in a different era, with a touch more fantasy.I immediately noticed several clearly detailed scales and then the references to dragons. There was also that cage, with that beautiful, delicate woman, who truly caught the beauty of the bird that she was portraying. Whoever was responsible for these changes, really had a high influence within the
Scarlett POVAlthough it didn’t appear like it, I'm quite nervous. It was the first time that I had performed in public, and I had also called Liam and Klaus here to talk. Oliver said it would be better to do it another time, but I thought it would be better to do it together, so they could see this other part of me as well.The two of them hadn't lost that way of communicating, even without speaking. That has always been one of the things that attracted me to them. I respected them, because from our very first game they had made an effort to make me feel as comfortable as possible.After much discussion with the psychologist, I came to the conclusion that it's okay for me to feel something for Liam and Klaus, even if it was just simple attraction, and that if we could come to an agre
Scarlett’s POVFinally, 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
Scarlett’s POVI didn't expect this reaction from them, I honestly thought they knew about the things that Alicia had done and was up to, but I was clearly mistaken."It's no use getting angry now." Oliver spoke calmly. "What we can do right now, is monitor the actions of the Harvey family."It's the most logical thing to do, but a somewhat sadistic smile spread across my face. If Gabriel did his job right, which I bet he did, Alicia won't come near me again, and if she does, she will quickly realize that she had made a grave mistake. No matter how much she tells her family about the threats, they would never act right now.No one would want to be exposed. Especially because there is a lot of corruption in this city... They have many enemies who would
Scarlett POVI returned home in the early hours of the next morning. Usually when I meet up with my friends, we completely lose track of time. Between the drinking, eating, and talking about the largest variety of topics, time passed way too quickly...The visit with my friend at the bar, most certainly helped me to calm down. I even discussed my situation with the group, who all basically said the same thing as Roman did, but each in their own way, and by the end of the night, we were already talking about who would like who if the other were a worm.I entered the house and went to my room. Not the one that I shared with Liam though, but the guest room across from the game room. It was the room where I slept after the sessions.I took off my clothes and pu
Scarlett POVAs soon as we arrived in our room, I placed my hand on Liam's chest and made a brief negative gesture with my head."I need to be alone." I said, I know this will probably hurt him, but it's what I need right now.Space to think, space to understand what the hell happened..."Lettie, Klaus went overboard with everything he said." Liam started to defend his friend, but I didn’t want to listen it, not now."I need to think, Liam..." I said and sighed, I tried to move away, but Liam held my hand."I know, I'll give you space." Liam spoke. "But please try not to jump to conclusions... I know you are hurting and everything is a mess, but Klaus likes you
Oliver POVKlaus never knew how to deal with Scarlett, not with her independent side, the part that is the businesswoman, the woman who survived, he only saw her as his sub, as the person who must kneel before him.His words were very harsh, and he had no right to use what I did for Scarlett against her. Not the way he just did. There were other ways to say the same thing without offending her, and now everything just became more complicated. Arden wanted to argue with Klaus, even challenge him for having done what he did.Yes, I got angry and felt betrayed when I heard her account and her plan, but since the day I talked to her in the new workshop, I knew something was happening and that this was a learning experience for her. A way for her to evolve, but I never thought she would use a BDSM party to
Klaus POVIt seemed as though every time that I thought things were improving between the three of us and got the feeling that things would finally work out, something happened... Scarlett's revelation was something truly disliked, and something that I didn’t want to accept. it wasn’t in my DNA to just let it pass without having my opinion uttered as well.'How dare she do this to us?' Titan was irritated.It was very difficult to control my wolf. Especially in situations such as this, where I felt used.Liam thinks she fits in well with both of us, but here's another instance where she doesn't fit in with me. How am I supposed to calm down or accept something like this, which I had no control over?
Liam’s POVThe way Scarlett gave herself over to us in the performance was divine. We had a connection with her that we could never develop with anyone else. The performance also made it abundantly clear, to everyone in the BDSM community, which would leave no doubts as to who Scarlett belonged to. Even without her wearing a collar, the performance basically publicly announced our threesome. It will be known by all after our display today.I was a little worried to see Alicia, but she appeared to be well-behaved. Probably even more so as she was with her new Owner, which was a huge relief for me. She was forever tormenting us.I put my hand around Scarlett's waist and felt her lean over and rest her head on my shoulder as we watched Jasmine come for the fourth time and Keenan was nowhere near bei
Scarlett’s POVI looked at the guests who were watching and saw desire in almost everyone's eyes, while in others, I saw envy and a touch of anger, but no one was disrespectful.“Thank you to everyone who stayed to watch this scene.” Klaus began to speak. “And I hope you all have a great party and enjoy yourselves as much as the three of us did.”Then I heard the sound of applause as Klaus began to help me dress. My skin had red marks in several places, but that was okay, they were the marks that my Master and my Lord left there, and I felt proud to carry them.Now that I was back to being the Host of the event, I started helping the staff choose the best settings for their games, as well as answering questions about how
Scarlett’s POVKlaus held his hand out to me and I took it. Liam bent down and picked up the black rope, which he handed to Klaus. He then pulled the purple rope from my shoulders and passed it around my wrists.They were both working in complete harmony, just as they had during those first few days I had spent with them. I could always and still feel the differences in their touch. Something I knew would never change as they were both very different from each other.It wasn't long before my entire arm was wrapped in knots, only these had a more Celtic feel to them, instead of the first one which felt like a spider's web, these were fluid, yet complex knots.This all indicated exactly how experienced they were as they knew exactly how tight tie the ro
