"Hm?" As he put pressure on his question again, I felt like he would not stop until he got an answer from me."No, I just know my limits, almighty Mayor." My sarcasm must not have sounded virtuous as I was sitting in his car and talking big. He abruptly burst into laughter, stretching his head back and rubbing his palms together. For a moment, I couldn’t even look away from him.Why doesn’t he smile very often? His laugh sounded therapeutic.But then I really thought about it and felt really weird. It wasn't like I'd said something strange, but it was just a little sarcasm. I had one leg over the other, and my fingers were fidgeting, showing nervousness. My black hair was falling onto my shoulders like dark clouds filling up the sky. I stared at Mayor’s fingers; the coin rolled smoothly in his long fingers.‘’Almighty Mayor,’’ I heard him repeat my words in his mouth with a smile as innocent as a tear in a baby’s eye. But that single smile would not change the fact that he had destroy
The softness of his lips made me open my eyes, but I didn’t back away from him. I closed my eyes once again and let him play with my lips. As he tilted his head, he sucked my lips and pushed me closer to his body. Every time he drove me near him, a little moan escaped my lips into his mouth.The heat passed through his lips straight into mine, making me wet between my legs. Soon I was not only responding with moans but taking part, too. Just when I thought his tongue was desiring to enter my mouth, he stopped and broke the kiss. His eyes held intoxication the way he scanned my face. I have never seen such an intense, loving look on his face. He turned me around in a swift move and ripped my shirt open from the back. I heard the fabric zip apart, and then he laid me down on my chest on the seat. His body crawled on me, and his lips touched my naked back. I was biting my lips and asking myself, what am I doing?What would be the end result of it? If he will ruin my family and my reputat
I hurriedly pulled my hands over my chest to keep my torn shirt intact on the front. The icy breeze hit my back, and it wasn’t bad. It was crazy because I didn’t feel the wind until I was certain he was done with me.I nodded my head, preparing to walk with my naked back exposed. I was sobbing, angry at myself. I didn’t blame anyone but myself. As I took another step to move forward, I tripped and landed on my buttocks. It had become a habit of mine to lose my balance, but tonight, I lost my dignity when I lost myself in his arms. He stepped closer again, and this time he didn’t make a nasty comment. I raised my face, and our eyes connected.He steadily removed his coat while not breaking eye contact with me. My sight was blurred from crying so much. If he could break a girl like me who knew what he had been doing around, I wonder what he could do to girls like Olivia, who saw him as a saint."Take this," he knelt down beside me, bowing his head so that he could make sure I listen to
Unknown: ?I rubbed my eyes, trying to focus on the time on the clock and the messages I was receiving.Me: Who is this?I hoped it would stop now, and I'll figure out what to do about this unknown number in the morning. But that didn’t end up happening because soon I got a response.Unknown: Devil.That was actually not very surprising because I could expect a devil to come to life in this town. Still being angry and annoyed with how Mr. Mayor made me feel a few hours ago, I decided to be petty.Me: Mayor?I stared at the screen, blinking away the tears when I recalled how I let him crawl over me."You stupid girl! What happened to the self-righteous girl?" I cursed at myself. I was so glad I fell asleep because once again, I was swimming through a pool of emotions.Unknown: Jace :/I sat straight in shock, pulling my blanket over my chest. Why would he text me right after what his boss did to me?Me: Jace Austin?I knew I shouldn't be responding to him, but I needed to vent my rage
I jumped out of bed and ran to my window, peering out, praying that I hadn't seen him around my house. There was no one out there. The air was strong, dawn arriving after a long, hectic night. For a moment, I forgot why I was in the window. Sliding the glass door open, I stepped onto the small balcony to inhale fresh air. I finally searched the road; there was no one there. My phone rang in my hand again, and I knew it was him. Unknown: You have been crying the whole night. I frowned at the text. Why was he so concerned about what I had been doing the whole night? It is not like he cared or anything. Me: Stop acting like you care. He ignored my response and mentioned my eyes. Unknown: Your eyes. Me: What about my eyes? I knew they were swollen and had bags under them. I lowered my eyes and grasped the railing as my body felt a tingling sensation of being watched. Unknown: Don’t cry. I looked at the text, and then to the road, where my eyes searched for him. I can’t see anyone
"See, it wasn’t that hard." I jumped in shock at the voice from behind me. Jace smiled my way innocently. How can he act innocently after being a part of the humiliation of innocent girls? "Yeah," I replied, tugging strands of hair behind my ear. Just because he took good care of a grandma, he was acting like a hero. "You are still upset about what happened to Olivia? Look, just because he never speaks his heart out," he pointed a finger towards Mr. Mayor, as he referred to him. I partially turned my body to have a glimpse of him, "doesn’t make him wrong." He completed. Seriously, this dude was defending his evil acts. "Is that supposed to make me forget about that horrible incident?" I raised a brow, swirling to watch him, my back facing Mr. Mayor. "No, but what he can do to you must force you to think twice before going after him." He was correct; shielding the devil while speaking the truth was beyond my comprehension. "And it is not only Olivia; many girls came before her, to
The moment he did that, my body reacted. I didn’t want him."Mr. Mayor." His name slipped out of my mouth unintentionally. I swirled around and saw him glaring at me in anger. After all, he should be the last one to be upset. I got pinched, and my anger was justified."Miss Phoenix, would you like to join me in the front yard?" He, who looked like he had made a plan to humiliate me, spoke confidently. Quickly getting up and mending his coat, he jogged out of the room. There was something in his voice every time he said my name that made my skin feel like it had goosebumps. I’ve never admired my name so much before. No, I wasn’t falling for him at all, but those were just facts. Besides how sexy his voice was, he still demanded I go outside like I had a choice."Yes, Mr. Mayor," I said as I sauntered alongside him, making sure we were a safe distance apart."Tell me, Miss Phoenix, how can I repair your pathetic little mind?" The sexiness in his voice arose, but his words tormented my s
I held my breath and waited for him to approach me so that I could plan a defense. But he didn’t reach me at all. He ran past me towards the owner of the house. So, it wasn’t his house, and he didn’t bring me here to punish me. Then what exactly were his plans? "You wanna walk away from your mother?" He clutched his collar and shook him as a beast would do. The guy looked terrified. He couldn’t even speak on his behalf. "That woman, she gave you life. She brought you up and made you what you are today.’’ He growled at him, making him shiver under his rage. I held the curtain behind me in fear and stayed silent, breathing silently as if my breaths would gain his attention. The man looked like he was having a good day until we showed up. "Now that you can wander around and earn for yourself, do you think you can chuck her out of your life like she never existed?’’ His voice had a pain in it, a pain he had felt as well. I was silently watching as he dug at his nails while grabbing his
