The Choices We MakeSamantha wore a long, flowery dress that had a deep plunge on the back, accentuating her curves and her black, flowing hair. Lolita had been amazed by her dark beauty the first day she saw her; and was even more flattered that she wanted to be her friend. Samantha was the widest of the three. She changed her hair at least three times a year, and she was the outgoing type. She was the one who made all the mistakes, who drove them crazy with their ideas. She could be smart sometimes, considerate even and non-judgmental. This was what Lolita liked the most about her; that she could take in your deepest, darkest secret and hold it within her, like a sponge absorbing water.Now, she poured hot chocolate drink for Lolita. They were in her yard, gazing into the blank space and the earthy ground that Samantha made last summer. Her feet were bare as she sunk her toes into the dirt, allowing the wind to caress her face and hair.“It’s hot enough to burn your throat,” she sai
A-times.He tugged at her hair, hard. She groaned as arched into him, her body tingling where he touched.“I can’t do this with you anymore,” Lolita panted.“I know,” he answered, biting into her neck.She moaned as she wrapped her hands around his dick, stroking it just as he stroked her.“No really, I can’t do this with you anymore.”“Okay.”He pushed her into the bed and entered her slowly, moving deeper each inch that he breached. She scraped her nails into his back, wanting to mark him just as he marked her. “Fuck,” he groaned as his hand covered her left breast. She arched into him, wanting more. Lolita would have rolled him over if he hadn’t pinned her to the bed. He brought her hands above her head and held her there, his other hand on her waist as he moved into her. She moaned loudly, moving her waist to his rhythm. After a moment, she arched her legs back and circled them around his waist.“Come to me,” Lolita begged. “I want to feel your skin on mine.”Groaning, Hayden sa
Lies and Other.She was naked in the shower when Jarrod pushed the bathroom door open with anger. One look on his face, and she knew she was done for.“Are you fucking kidding me?” He yelled. Lolita struggled with turning off the water faucet and grabbing a towel. “Wh-what is it? What are you doing?”“What am I doing? What are you doing, Lolita, with my brother?”She froze. Her hair was wet and hanging around her shoulders, which was now draped with Jarrod’s white towel. His minty scent filled her nostrils, but that wasn’t the image imprinted in her brain. She thought of Hayden, tangled in the sheets with her just that afternoon. She rubbed her face as she desperately thought of how to handle that situation.“I don’t know what you mean.”“You don’t know what I mean?” Jarrod grabbed her neck and forcibly pulled her forward. “Tell me why Tessa is in the living room, telling me all about how you’re fucking my brother?”Her mouth hung open. “Wh.. what? That’s ridiculous.”“Is it? Come d
Each and MoreLolita wrapped her arms around herself, feeling naked in a room of clothed persons. She was the only one who had drenched face and hair that clung to skin. If only Hayden wouldn’t make it so obvious, then perhaps her heart wouldn’t be pummeling out of her chest.“Do you like that?” Jarrod said to his brother, his smile wide and sinister. “Do you like that she’s naked under that robe? Would you want to see more?”Hayden arched his brows at him. “If you’re offering, I won’t turn you down.”“What does that mean?”“Oh, you know what I mean, brother.”Jarrod gritted his teeth, trying to find control over the situation. Tessa still sat at the head of the table, like she was a dictator looking down at her subjects. She seemed very proud of herself, very proud indeed. “You want everything that I want,” Jarrod continued. “So it’s not surprise that you want her too.”“Isn’t it?” His brother teased.“It sure is. You keep taunting her ever since you set your eyes on her. You haven’
Down the Abyss Dinner was horrible. Lolita felt like a pawn in a game between two brothers. They sat side by side next to each other while she sat opposite them, watching quietly. Hayden held an ice pack to one side of his face while he ate with his left hand. She hated that his eyes rarely left hers. It made her itchy and needy. She was still reeling from the adrenaline from the recent events and she needed a release from it; anything but his eyes.“Your face doing okay?” Jarrod asked his brother after a prolonged silence. Hayden shrugged in response. “Nothing I haven’t been though before.”“That’s right. It’s not my fault for having hit you, but I feel guilty for not trusting Lolita.” He smiled adoringly at her. “She’s one of the decent bunch.”“Yeah, decent,” Hayden concurred, his eyes bright with mischief.Lolita couldn’t take it anymore. She pushed her chair back and stood up with her plate in hand. “I’m gonna go upstairs and finish this alone. You two can catch up in my absen
Into The Winds“I can’t marry Jarrod,” she whispered into the phone. “I can’t do this when I’m like this, Sammy.”Lolita closed her eyes in disappointment as Samantha hurled a series of insult at her. She pressed the phone on her ear and tried to reason with her. “The wedding is a week away!” Samantha yelled. “If you wanted to get out of it, don’t you think you should have done that in… I don’t know… a month ago? Besides, isn't your family coming in tomorrow?!”“I told them to hold on,” she hurried to say. “Just this morning, I told them I’d have to delay their flight.”“Did you give them a reason?”“Not exactly.”“Can you sincerely tell me what’s going on, babe? We agreed we were going to talk about this and you never came. You never picked my calls and Tessa—”“Tessa is exactly what happened to those plans we made. She met with Jarrod and spun lies about me and Hayden.”“Lies?” Samantha laughed at her sarcastically. “My god, you amaze me, Lolita. Lies?”“You know what I mean. She n
The Long RunHayden stepped forward, somehow blocking her view. It was the smallest step, but she noticed. Lolita’s eyes went everywhere, looking for an escape. She never wanted an earthquake to happen as much as she wanted it at that very moment. The door was open; which means Hayden had invariably forgotten to lock it and now Jarrod had caught them in a loving position. Worse than that, he probably heard all they said. “How long have you been standing there?” She managed to ask, her voice quaking.Jarrod sort of chuckled and scoffed at once. “Is that what you want to really ask me, my dearest?”It creeped her out, the way he was taking this so lightly. The Jarrod she knew would have flared up, maybe grab her throat and push her against the wall. He didn’t always act out, so she was actually scared of seeing him upset.“This isn’t her fault,” Hayden said, shifting his body again so he could cover Lolita’s frame. “I pushed her into this.”His brother rolled his eyes dramatically. “Of
Wedding Canceled?A hard slap on her ass jerked Lolita awake. Her heart flew out of her chest; for a moment she thought Jarrod was surely back to punish her for her sins. She jumped out of bed and pushed her hair out of her eyes, smoothed her nightdress and rubbed her neck. “You look so guilty,” Samantha said. “What did you do this time around?”She heaved a breath she didn’t know she was holding when she saw it was Samantha. “Oh, it’s just you.”“Yeah, it’s just me. Who were you expecting?”“He’s not back?”“Who’s not back?”“Did you see Jarrod when you came in?”“Lolita, the door was wide open when I came in. Have you seen your house? You have dust and leaves all over from outside. Were you robbed or something?” She looked around. “It doesn’t look like anything was taken, though.”Depressed, Lolita sat on the bed and hunched her shoulders. “He didn’t come back last night.”“Who, Jarrod?”“Yes. He saw me with his brother.” Her eyes shimmered with tears. “I was holding Hayden then. I
