더 보기“I guess you didn't know, we're acquiring this company.”He had a proud look in his eyes when he announced it, not just to me but also to those around us. I glanced around the room and felt embarrassed by all the eyes focused on me. I wanted to run away, knowing well that it was going to lead to another round of gossip about my life.They barely moved away from the wedding drama; now, thanks to Tyler, they had another topic. I sighed and focused on the man in front of me. His eyes were sparkling, and the way he was leaning against the wall made it look like he already owned the company. I took a deep breath before speaking. “What do you mean by that?”His smile only deepened when I was done with my question. “We are in the early stages of negotiation, but it's pretty much a done deal.”“Why would Mr. McKelly sell the company all of a sudden?” I mumbled, trying to think about the conversations that occurred around the office, in the past few days. “I didn't even know the higher-ups we
IZZY'S POV,I was back at my desk, leaving the Castle and the magical life I had to live for the past two days behind. However, my mind never came back with me to the corporate life of Austin. It was still wrapped around the scent of roses and old stone walls that I fell in love with. I was still in front of that giant fireplace, wrapped in a blanket while it rained outside. Jasper was with me, kissing me on the neck while reading me one of his favorite French romances. We were both naked—it was his idea—to get in the head of the characters. It was a stupid idea, but when he started stripping, I couldn't help myself either. So, while he translated the story for me, I played with him. It was my way of connecting with the eighteen-year-old maid, the naive girl who fell in love with her master, the duke, thrice his age. “Everyone around warned him that she was going to poison him one day for his riches, but he was so in love with her that he never listened to them,” he read, and that
JASPER'S POV, I never knew Elizabeth was so outspoken and wild. I always thought of her as a timid little girl who was a little bit opinionated, but I had never known her other side. She hid it well, and now I couldn't help but feel like learning everything else about her. She is what I always wanted, yet this distance between us didn't seem to disappear. At times, looking at her I couldn't shake the feeling that her affection for me wasn't true, making it seem as though she wasn't in love with me. Yet, other times, I could only see love in her beautiful eyes, leaving me both confused and uncertain. Despite the mixed signals, the only thing I was certain of was my feelings for her. I knew that my love for her was genuine and unwavering, and it would remain so till the very end. With each passing day, my feelings for her were only growing stronger. Initially, I thought it was Daniel's words that got to me because he wasn't happy about me dating her. We talked before I left for
IZZY'S POV,I felt Jasper's hands on my hips, and his warning sent chills down my spine. Weirdly enough, that made me want him even more. On one hand, I didn't want to feel those emotions because I knew it was going to end soon, and quite badly, while on the other, I wanted to surrender myself to him. “I am going to have you now!”He turned me on my back and soon he was inside me, connecting us together once again. I was so perfectly filled that it began to hurt, but not physically. Instead, I could feel Jasper in my chest, buried somewhere under my ribs. He felt like a cluster of nerves that throb with each stroke. He moved slowly in the beginning, and that only emphasized the pain. I felt every inch of him, erupting fire inside my body, and the pleasure of it chased the pain that his words had left in their wake. He was grinding into me and it felt like a weird combination of pleasure and pain. When he started pumping faster, pinning my hands above my hand, tears sprang to
IZZY'S POV, “I... I love you, Izzy.” The words echoed in my head as I woke up the next day, feeling thoroughly exhausted. My body was loose like every single muscle and tendon had been reduced to the finest thread. I was sore, too; just shifting my hips sent sparks of electricity flying throughout my body. I also realized that I was pressed up against Jasper, the same way we did that day. His muscular arms were draped against my small frame, securing me in place. I wasn't sure how we ended up in that position, but I wasn't complaining about it because it felt nice. Waking up dad after day, on an empty bed reminded me of the betrayal. I yawned because, once again, parts of what happened after the time we spent in the backseat of his SUV were a blur to me. I clearly remembered that we went for a hike, got wet in the heavy rain, got hot in the truck, and did the deeds two times in a row—the first time he was on the top, while on the second, I rode him. After that, everything was
IZZY’S POV,“Your panties, take it off.”I didn’t hesitate as I removed the only garment that covered me and tossed it to the ground. I reminded myself that I wasn't second-guessing my decisions anymore and trying to live in the moment. I smiled at him because now, both of us were under that thin blanket. Our bodies were pressed together, and heat was radiating from both of our skins. I noticed that we were breathing in sync, and I was sure even our hearts were beating in the same rhythm.I latched onto Jaser like he was the only thing keeping me grounded, keeping me from floating up into the black sky.Jasper ran his hands slowly over my body, massaging the buds on my breasts, and his teasing made me curl my toes. I reached out to welcome Jasper with my hands as he collided our lips again. I was desperate for his touch, and every time he sucked on my tongue, I found myself loosing more of me into him.This kiss was different; it was an inhibiting kind of kiss, one that made both of
IZZY'S POV, “You were saying?” In just a few seconds, both of us were soaked to our bones, and needless to say, the weather forecast turned out to be a big joke. As we speed-walked, I couldn’t help but laugh even more than before. It was a funny situation, and seeing Jasper stressed only made me laugh harder. “Stop laughing and run. The forest is not far, the canopies would protect us from the rain.” Jasper said, pulling me along with himself. But I kept laughing. “Seriously, Elizabeth?!” My hand was in his the entire time, and I wasn't complaining about it either. However, when he fastened his pace I started to fear for my life. I wasn't sure if running on a slippery mud trail, under heavy rain was such a good idea. And in that moment, risking the chance of falling, twisting an ankle, or losing my teeth were my topmost concerns. But the grip Jasper had on my wrist was tight enough to ensure that there was no chance of me slipping and falling. He kept me steady all the way bac
IZZY'S POV, We had been walking for a few hours, yet we were nowhere near the destination. It was still a few miles away according to Jasper, and by the afternoon, I was exhausted from the hike. We were resting near the waterfall that he had been mentioning the whole time, and I have to say, it was truly breathtaking. The falling water and the way it transformed into a creek was mesmerizing. I loved the surroundings and how unrealistic it looked. We were sitting on a big stone—there were many of them scattered all around the banks of the creek. My only regret was that we didn't find any interesting fauna the whole time. There were only a few deer and nothing more. I was hoping for more diversity, at least near the water source, but that didn't happen. “Don't pout like that.” Jasper had the backpack in between his legs as he took out the food wrapped in aluminum foils. “There are many birds that nest near the top of the hill. You will love them.” I had yet to tell him that I
IZZY'S POV, “Let's begin the hike, or else we won't have enough time to see the waterfall.” Jasper kissed the top of my head before he started walking towards the trees that stood like pillars reaching for heaven. I walked next to him through the narrow trail that five minutes later faded into the forest. Everything around us looked the same, there weren't any designated routes that we could follow. Jasper said he knew where he was going, but that didn't ease the fear in my heart. Very little sunlight passed through the canopy, so it wasn't as hot as outside. Thankfully, enough light passed through to make the things around us visible. The forest floor was moist and the leaves still had dewdrops on them from the night, which further cooled the air around. Jasper was moving through the forest without a care like he had been hiking all his life. While for me, the whole thing was a little out of my comfort. Yoga was the only physical exercise I was into, and that didn't help me m
IZZY’S POV,It's warm, I like it. I thought to myself, welcoming a slight smile when I felt the warmth of sunlight on my face.I was waking up, feeling the rays of the sun but didn't want to open my eyes yet. I was tired and the bed was warm. I was warm. And I liked the way everything felt. Though, it didn't last for long because I felt the hangover from the previous night making its way up.I groaned.The morning light spilling inside my bedroom through the partially drawn curtains didn't make the hangover any better. The headache had already started to settle in, followed by nausea and thirst. I knew taking shots after shots was a big mistake, but I had my reasons. I needed to forget him.I tugged at the blanket around my chest, pulling it higher to cover my face from the burning rays of sun that I had started to hate, thanks to the headache it was giving me. The blanket moved in compliance to my wishes, and I let out a content sigh, curling my body into the sheets.However, just a ...
