Thank you for reading, loves. I hope you enjoyed the two chapters:)
BRYNN.EIGHT DAYS AGO.The excitement I had felt when I stood before the mirror quickly deserts me when I turn to see Asher leaning against my door with his hands crossed to his chest and a too big of a grin on his face.A frown falls on my lips. "What are you doing here?" I ask, and he chuckles. He simply slips his hands into his pockets as he pushes himself off the door, waltzing further inside as if he owned the room. "I’ve missed how much you admire your beauty.""That doesn’t answer my question." I watch with narrowed eyes as he goes to the other corner opposite me. He presses against the edge of the single desk next to the bin. "You don’t look happy to see me."I cross my arms to my chest and lift a brow. "And that’s a surprise because? How did you even get in? I think it’s time I tell—""Calm down, Princess." I hate that voice. I hate the name he calls. And I most especially hate the taunting smirk that appears on his face as he moves from his spot, striding closer to me. "I hav
BRYNN.PRESENT."What?" Felix mouths as he stares at me with narrowed eyes and I sink my teeth into my bottom lip, breaking the eye contact as I say, "He has the video. Of me and he—""Threatened you with it?" He finishes before I can and when I lift my head, I see the fury in his eyes; they’re almost turned red from anger and when I nod, he growls. "And you let him?""What?"He steps closer. "You aren’t a helpless girl, are you? You have power and influence. Why’d you let him blackmail you into something—""Are you fucking serious right now?" I speak in utter disbelief as I stare at him with wide eyes. "You think I wouldn’t fucking do something if I could—""Brynn, that’s not—"I don’t hear him. I just snap. "You have no fucking idea, do you?" My head shakes and my voice trembles along with my next words. "You have no idea what this feels like. Being trapped like this—especially with the one person I want nothing to do with. Yet I have no fucking choice because of the things he could
FELIX.I think there was a time when I’d have died for Asher. I’m not exaggerating; If it came to it, I’d have gladly taken his death so he would live.It was the time when I first came to this place. I had one friend, a job, and my life pretty much didn’t have any purpose. I was just existing, rather than living.I didn't have Lemuel. I hadn’t found the boxing arena. I just had Asher.I’ve felt very furious with him in the past. He could be infuriating when he wanted to be and we’ve had many fights, but I had no deadly intentions during any of them. Even with all the past fights we had about Brynn, I’ve never wanted to kill him; I just felt the need to hurt him.But now I do. I want to take his life and I wish I could say I’m joking. I’m not. I sincerely want to wrap my hand around his throat and watch him struggle by my feet as I take the one thing that’d keep him living.That strong urge burns through me and I embrace my anger as I climb down the stairs, my steps fast and heavy. My
FELIX.The meaning of love isn’t a foreign concept to me. I just never thought I’d fall in love with someone.I’ve been obsessed with Brynn. I want her in a way I’ve never wanted something or someone my entire life. I crave her. It’s not just me; it’s almost as if she’s a part of my soul. My whole being ached for her. And now I love her?If I’m being honest, the words have always been at the tip of my tongue for a while now, but I’ve always shoved it back, not wanting it to be true. Hoping that someday, it’ll stop being true. But it isn’t. I love her. I said the words; I screamed out the words to Asher.I love her. Fuck, I love her. I was stupid enough to let her consume my entire being. I let her mess with my head and she actually snatched my heart?Why? Why do I love her? I know damn well she doesn’t feel the same and there’s like zero possibility of that happening, especially after she said she’s done, ending what was barely even beginning.Why her? Why does it have to be Brynn fuc
FELIX.I remove my helmet and hang it on the handle of my bike as I stare at the house in front of me.I look to the side to make sure Asher’s car isn’t there before I start moving. Once I get to the door, I look around once more before I input my key and turn the knob. I slide through the door before removing my key and dropping it into my pocket.The house is quiet. I gaze to the living room, to the clothes littered across the floor and over the arm of the sofa. With a shake of my head, I move further inside and take the hallway to Asher’s room.I mumble a word of prayer for it to be opened and my heart leaps with joy when I turn the knob and the sound of the door creaking echoes around. I soundlessly make my way into the room even when he isn’t around to catch me. His room is neat compared to the living room with only his bed untidy and, without wasting time, I make for the drawer by his bedside. I search through every single one for anything he could have that tape on—a phone he do
BRYNN.Felix obviously doesn’t want me here. If the seventeen calls I left over the past hours—I was desperate—wasn’t enough indication, then the way he’s staring at me right now as our eyes meet probably is.He doesn’t want me here.And maybe not just here. He might not want to see me altogether. But he left me with no other choice.I know I shouldn’t be here. This is the last place I should be, sitting with a crowd of eager watchers with eyes on the one guy my heart won’t stop pounding for.When Lemuel left me texts about Felix joining a match four nights away, I was stunned. If there’s one thing Felix made sure I knew from the time we spent together, it’s that he’d never take on a match. I knew something was wrong the second I got those texts. And I wondered what he must be thinking to take on the one thing he was so sure he wouldn’t.I didn’t care whether we were supposed to be staying away from each other; I called. And left messages. And he didn’t respond to either. He didn’t tak
BRYNN.Felix’s mouth is parted and his eyes are in their darkest shade when I look into them. I drop my finger from inside his mouth to his chin and he slowly, oh so tortuously, moves us back. His chest heaves and heavy pants leave his mouth as he walks me back till I’m back to the locker."Brynn," he starts to say, but I don’t let him. I don’t let him have a second thought about this, and I move my hands to grab both of his. I hold his gaze as I move them down, aiding them to grab my ass through the soft fabric of my skirt. I see the exact second that the flip switches and all the hesitation in his eyes disappears. He growls as he grabs more handfuls of my buttocks, squeezing them hard. "Please, Felix." I breathe into the air as I leave his hands there and move mine to his forearms.When Felix squeezes again, I let out a quiet moan as the sensation shoots straight to my core and I’m squirming against my wet panties."You should know," Felix speaks, his voice rougher, but not from the
FELIX."How did you know I had a match?" I ask Brynn as she walks out of the restroom I took her to. She pushes her hair to the back and folds her skirt in her hand. "Lemuel told me." She responds after she shuts the door, and I grab the skirt from her."Of course." I chuckle before letting my eyes drag down to admire the way the loose pants look on her. "You look good in that.""I keep lending your clothes.""Good thing I love them on you," I reply in a breath and I see the heat rise to her cheek. She instantly turns her face away, looking everywhere but me, and I can’t stop the way my lips lift in a smile. I’ve missed seeing that look on her. It’s not every time you’ll see her blush, but when she does, she’s fucking gorgeous."Come on." I tilt my head as I take a step back, and Brynn nods, not uttering another word as she moves in front while I follow behind her.A guy that walks past as we make our way back to the locker room stares at her longer than I like and I move to her side,
BRYNN.Dad’s gaze is harsh and threatens to unravel me as he keeps his eyes on me, unblinking. I gulp down my fear and force out an awkward laugh. "Guy? What guy, Dad? There’s no—" I stop speaking when he lifts a brow; a movement that tells me he isn’t convinced of the lies I’m trying to make up. I shut my eyes and lower my gaze. "I’m sorry. It was just a—""Who’s he to you?" He interrupts me and I look up at him. "You’ve never done this before. I know you aren’t cruel, but the boy must mean something for you to go through the trouble of threatening your principal just to save him."My brows furrow at his words, and I tilt my head. "What?""The boy you saved. Who’s he?" He repeats the question and my mouth parts as I try to grasp the sense in his words. When the realization dawns on me that it isn’t the one that’s hiding in my bathroom, he speaks of—technically the same person, but he’s speaking of what happened at school, not here—I nearly smile but hold it back."Oh. That." I mumble
BRYNN.Felix Wilder is especially gorgeous when wet.The shirt he has on clicks tightly to his abs and muscles, leaving very little to the imagination. Drops of water trail down his neck; they run along his hard biceps and drip down his fingers. Long strands fall down his face, hiding the corners of his eyes from me, but even with that, I feel the intenseness of his gaze when our eyes meet.He’s staring at me with that look again—the kind that makes my throat dry and my stomach flutter.Silence echoes around us as I swallow at emptiness, the smile dropping from my face at the nervousness that scratches my insides."Felix?" His name leaves my mouth in an almost breathless voice and I see his lashes flutter beneath the strands falling over his forehead. He pushes himself up higher to the edge of the pool, and his lips slowly part. "I just—I…" he stops and my palms press down to the floor, my toes curling in the heels I have dipped inside the pool.Felix doesn’t finish his words and I do
FELIX.She’s insane.Insanely beautiful and confident in what she wants. Her boldness makes me burn with more need for her and I sigh when she rolls her hips again, fucking herself on my fingers till she’s dripping all over the digits."Jesus, Brynn," I groan when she leans to the side, her lips brushing against my right ear. It’s just a scrape, but it makes a shudder roll off me and I shut my eyes, my free hand moving on her waist as my heart pounds in my chest.Brynn takes what she wants. Her hips continue to make punishing rolls that have my cock rock hard in my pants and when I feel the tip of her tongue melt against my earlobe, I get so fucking close to wetting my boxers and she hasn’t even done anything to me.But no. Not my boxers. I want to shoot my cum inside her and fill her with it. I want to see the look on her face when I finally give her what she wants, and I want to feel her walls clench so tightly and greedily around me when I attempt to pull out."Brynn," I put my han
UPDATE. Hello loves,Sorry. This isn’t a chapter update but an update of my schedule. So as many know, I’m currently trying to wrap up my stepbrother. With the massive updates I’m giving on that—because the readers have honestly been very patient with me and I don’t want to make them wait any longer than they’ve already done—and my day’s schedule, I end up having little time to write more chapters for this one. But I’m still trying. I don’t want to abandon either book and I definitely do not want to disappoint my readers because I know you look forward to every day’s update. With that said, I’ll still be updating this book. The updates will just not match my usual time which is every day after midnight, GMT+7 but they’ll definitely be up so always check from time to time. And if I miss any day’s update, please bear with me and know that I’ll definitely try to make up for that missing update when I upload the next one. Thank you so much for being patient and an update is definitely
BRYNN.My heart is pounding loudly in my chest and when I turn to look at Felix, he’s already staring at me. I look away at the obstacle we have ahead before climbing off his lap completely."Right. I’ll be back." I mumble to no one in particular before getting out of the car. The headlights flash even brighter when I come out of the car, as if mocking me there’s no way I’m sneaking Felix inside without Dad knowing.Still, I let my legs drag forward and stop when I reach the car’s right door where I know Dad usually comes out from. I place two knocks on the car window and wait. When there’s no response after a while, I lift my hand to place another knock, but it hangs in the air when the driver’s door opens and one of Dad’s men comes out."Miss Brynn. It’s you." He says, staying on the other side. I nod and straighten my back. "Dad?""Sir isn’t here."My brows furrows. "What?""He’s back at the office. He’s got some things to sort out, so he told me to leave."My heart leaps with joy
BRYNN."After a date, a guy usually leaves. Not go back with the girl. Especially to the girl’s home." I tell Felix when I climb out of the car. He smirks and pushes his helmet to his side. "We’ve arrived here anyway, so a waste to just turn back, right?""Not really. It’s not that hard to do. Just get on your bike and drive away. Quite simple."He frowns. "Come on, baby. I want to spend the night with you. You agreed.""I didn’t. You practically followed me here.""And you didn’t stop me." He claims, and I open my mouth to speak. I shut it again when I find no words. "See?"I shake my head. "It’s dangerous, Felix.""It’s not. You just have to sneak me into your room and we’re good." Easier said than done.I throw him another look before I step before him. When I wrap my hands around his neck, his free hand instantly reaches for my waist. "It’s risky.""We’ve taken risks. What’s one more?" He whispers against my lips when I pull in. I close my eyes to the feel of his breath on my lips.
BRYNN."Will you be doing it again?" I ask Felix after he passes me my ice cream, then grabs his seat and pulls it next to me so he can sit by my side rather than across the table.We’re in front of a small ice cream shop and hidden from the sun by the umbrella. I watch as Felix settles in his chair and takes a bite out of his ice cream. "I’m not sure. I won’t lie, though; it was more fun than I thought.""Didn’t the hits hurt?" I ask, and he shakes his head. "Not much. After the first one, you get used to it."I nod and we fall in silence as we slowly lick our ice cream—with Felix doing more biting than licking."He’s still standing right behind us," Felix tells me, nodding his head in the other direction, and my gaze follows to where Leo is standing a few feet away from us. Our eyes meet when he turns his head and his jaw is slightly tightened. He bows a bit—something I already asked him to stop doing—before he straightens up again and looks away from me."I told him to stay in the
BRYNN."Oh my god, you sneaky little thing!" I push at Felix’s shoulder and he moves back enough for me to get a clearer view of Jade. "Jade. Hey." I mumble with an awkward smile as I drop to my feet, pressing against the door and wishing I could find an escape without having to go through Jade’s confrontation.She shakes her head where she stands with her arms crossed to her chest and her gaze switching between me and Felix. "I knew it! I fucking knew it!" She exclaims as she comes closer, stopping when she reaches Felix."Jade. Don’t.""So you’re the reason, uh?" She cocks her head with a smile and I roll my eyes before wrapping a hand around Felix’s arm and pulling him back, away from Jade’s piercing gaze. "What are you even doing here?" No longer than the words leave my mouth, someone else clears their throat, alerting me of another presence in the room, and I look behind Jade to the tall, brown-haired guy standing alone.I smirk when I look back at her and she shrugs. "What? Do yo
BRYNN.I let out a long sigh of relief when Felix finally walks out of the room. He’s out of the janitor’s wear and he is absolutely gorgeous in his jeans and thin shirt with his hair a mess on his head.He looks surprised when he sees me and he walks up to me, taking two steps at a time."Hey. Was it okay in—" the rest of my words are muffled against his shirt when he pulls me in, his hand moving to my head to keep me to him while the other rests on my back. I try to breathe through the space of his arm as I move my head against his chest and wrap my arms around his middle."I didn’t think you’d be here." He mumbles as he strokes my back and I smile. "Where else would I be?" He says nothing in response, just holds me tighter against him as if I’d disappear the second he lets go and I let him, needing it just as much as he does.After what feels like long hugging in the quiet hallway, Felix finally loosens his grip on me, but he doesn’t entirely let go as he pulls back. His hands drop
