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
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
FELIX. My jaw drops in awe as I stand hypnotized by the sight before me.The sexiest sight that my eyes have ever witnessed. So dirty and erotic, yet so pure.Her back is turned to me. Her naked back. And as my eyes roam across the flawless and milky skin, my throat moves; the sound of a gulp escaping my parted lips as I thirst to swipe my tongue across that smooth skin.I can feel every part of me get excited as her hand moves to her hair and she sweeps it to the left, letting me catch a glimpse of her neck and the sight of her backbone makes something shift in me.I can’t find my words and I can only continue to stare, with my tongue swiping over my suddenly overdry lips as I watch the silk dress brushed by her waist finally pool down her legs; If I thought the previous sight of her sexy back was the highlight of it, oh was I so wrong.My eyes are so wide that it’s a miracle my eyeballs haven’t dropped from their sockets as my gaze sweeps over the tattoo just above her well-rounded
FELIX.Today seems to be an amazing day for me. My mood seems to have escalated from this morning. I’d say it’s because of the terrific event that happened in my room. And happening right here again.I currently have my tongue shoved down my coworker’s throat. A very hot coworker. Hot as in, she’s fresh, and a brunette with green eyes plus a body to die for.Luck must be on my side because when I arrived this morning, she just grabbed my hand and led me here. Okay, maybe that’s not all that happened, but I confirm there was a minimum done on my part.She got hired a few days ago, and I’d admit I had my eyes on her, but I hadn’t approached. When I arrived today, I only sent her a wink with a very polite greeting and seemed like she was onto me too, cause the next break we had; she grabbed my hand and pulled me away faster than I could turn.“You’re so good at kissing.” She lauds breathlessly as she removes her mouth from mine to catch some air in her lungs, her chest heaving up and dow
FELIX.I was wrong when I said today was a good day for me. Thanks to Brynn Addams, I no longer feel that way.But I plan to turn things around. I’ll not let her successfully ruin this day for me. It started nicely, and it’s got to end on a pleasant note too.A smile is on my face as I park my bike by the building, the echoes coming from inside promising me the fun I’d have—one I’m here for.After chaining my bike to the ground, I throw the keys inside my back pocket and proceed to enter the building with an even bigger smile. After one glance down my body, the curtains of the room of fun are opened to me and I enter with an enthusiastic heart and my hands inside my pocket.I rock my head to the music that’s coming from the upper floor as my eyes try to adjust to the darker lights. Once I’m adjusted, my gaze roams across the room in search of the special girl who’d take away my frustrations tonight.All I see is bodies. Hot bodies sliding against each other. Wrapping. Colliding. Touch
FELIX.I’m ashamed to say she tugged at my heartstrings with those words. And not only because she stands there, in her messy state, with those brown eyes fixated on me as she waits for a response to her words. And despite the slight vulnerability I thought I heard when she muttered those words, I see no such thing in her eyes.She’s just so good with her emotions, isn’t she?“What?” I say just to taunt her, wanting her to repeat those words. But it’s Brynn Addams. I’m sure she’d rather wish the ground open up and swallow her before she let that sentence leave her mouth for a second time.“You heard me.” She replies with a hiss, that stoic expression back on her face and I smirk as I take the one step I had taken down back up. “I did. I just want you to repeat them.”She unfits her hands from the sides of her dress, and for a second, I thought she was contemplating it, but… “You can leave.” She nods to the exit before she turns and starts walking back to her table. I shake my head and
FELIX.I wasn’t wrong about the hell of a night.And I hate that.Brynn Addams is more than I thought she was.When I laid my eyes on her for the first time, it didn’t take more than a glance to know she was no ordinary girl. She screamed luxury and exuded such elegance I’d never encountered in my entire life. Her poise, stance, walk, appearance. Every single detail about her from that moment told me she was one of those girls who could get everything they wanted in the world with just a snap of their fingers. Not only did she bleed that rich and powerful aura, but she was also beautiful. Angelic beauty. The kind of beauty men go to war for. Her black long hair shone brightly against the warmth of the earth, and the features that framed her face were enough to captivate even the strongest of men.However, that Brynn Addams is completely different from the one who’s a few feet away from me.It’s the alcohol, I can tell. She drank more than I did, and I’m now seeing a side to her I’ve n
FELIX.Every word Asher said to me that day was true.And I hated that.I hate that he knows me so well. I hate that I had let him know me that well and he had used that knowledge against me.But there have never been truer words spoken.I’m a lowlife. I’ve always been. It started with my family—one I don’t have, nor have the luxury of knowing. My parents cared less about me than they would a stray pet you find by the corner of the street and there were days that used to hurt and I would wonder why they ever tried with me if they never planned on giving me even the tinniest of their love and parental affection.Those days are gone now; I’ve accepted I’m a lone wolf in this world and my existence in the world had been a miracle–nothing more.I left home ages ago and found my way into this town. That’s how I met Ash. He was the first person to show me kindness, and I don’t just mean in this town—in my entire life. He saw me struggling and invited me into his home without asking for anyt
