Lucius' P.O.V.I'd given her the wedding she wanted, fulfilled her every wish, and even gone as far as to give her exclusive rights to my body. Marianne had no reason to complain about me, but I, on the other hand, had plenty of complaints about her—starting with her insistence on not separating fro
"Are we really married, or is this just a dream?" Marianne asked, her eyes closed, and reeking of alcohol.“When did you get like this? I left you alone for less than an hour, and I find you like this. You didn’t need to drink so much tonight, Marianne,” I scolded her, feeling ridiculous for even tr
I cursed myself a thousand times over. Women weren't supposed to be a weakness for me—I was supposed to be their weakness. But with Marianne, it was... it was different.Maybe it was because we shared so many similar scars, or because the person responsible for some of them was the same. We had a co
It was another morning where the world was spinning behind my closed eyelids. I opened them with difficulty, the light making my headache worse. I woke up in a white bed.There was a strange feeling in my mouth, so I salivated and spat out… a piece of a rose petal. Not only did that surprise me, but
"Did you read the itinerary I sent you earlier this week?" I asked, trying to get him to talk."I glanced at it," he responded, disinterested and focused on his phone."What did you think? Did you like it? Have you visited these places before?"He released a heavy sigh and looked at me, clearly anno
His movements weren't delicate or gentle. They were powerful and intense. It might seem impossible or exaggerated, but I swore it felt like he was splitting me in two. I was drowning in my own desperate moans, overwhelmed by the pleasure and excitement coursing through me.I could stay like this for
Lucius’s happiness during our trip to Sri Lanka could probably be studied for its absurd levels. The man who boarded the plane with me was completely different from the one who got off—full of jokes, laughter, and constantly touching me. Of course, it would be silly to complain after all the reckles
He was shameless. Still, I had to accept that I'd married a shameless man and learn to work with that. Marriage was all about compromise, right?"I don't see why we can't do both. During the day, we enjoy the wonders of Sri Lanka, and at night… we do what you want," I offered.Lucius's interest spar
I was easily the most boringly dressed guest here, yet the moment I arrived, I felt all eyes on me. Around me were either complete strangers or familiar faces tied to the Lewis family, and the latter group I knew watched me closely. I ignored them as best I could. Let's just say I wasn't a welcome p
"Well, that boy has been in love with you for many years, and a man's ego is fragile enough as it is. I'm not surprised he reacted badly to your rejection," my mother said.I bolted upright from the bed, startled."What are you saying?" I sounded offended. "Our romantic feelings are recent. That's w
My mother had had me when she was eighteen—a single mom who had faced countless struggles because she had a child so young. I know that for most of my life, I've had the financial backing of my father's family, but those early years of poverty, hunger, and loneliness were memories that hadn't faded.
He was staring at me a lot."What are you looking at? Haven't you had enough of staring at me since we were kids?" I teased him."I'll never get tired of looking at you," he replied.I couldn't help but smile at that. How could he be so sweet?"Well, since you've given up on that ridiculous wedding,
I unhooked my bra, wanting to be more comfortable, and I began playing with my nipples. He noticed and kissed his way back up to them, sucking on each one in turn. It was even better as he didn't stop using his fingers, thrusting them in and out of me. However, he hadn't looked me in the eye since I
I hadn't woken up this morning planning to test Lawrence's patience, let alone end up kissing him like this. But the way he held me tightly against his body, the way our tongues danced wildly together, had me teetering on the edge.I had no idea he was such a good kisser nor that he was so skilled a
"Hello, Emma. It's nice to hear from you too..." I answered, feeling utterly drained."I want an explanation now, Lawrence," she snapped.Honestly, my brain wasn't functioning well enough for riddles at this moment."Who is 'she'? How are we making fun of you?" I asked, confused.I heard a frustrate
The best treatment and care at home—that was what my father was receiving. But no matter how much money was spent or how excellent the medical attention was, it wouldn't save him. In the end, money could only buy the material things. It couldn't replace a body destined for death.I was so disturbed
Lawrence Lewis's P.O.VWhen I got engaged to Emma and put the distance between me and Sara that I should have enforced all along, I never expected this. Out of all the scenarios I had predicted, what had actually happened was never one of them. I tried to chalk up what happened in that dark closet t
