I lazily ran my fingers through the rim of the cup, my mind very far from the cozy café where I was sitting in.I could hear Hailey’s voice at the back of my head, and even as I saw her lips move, her words simply drifted in and out of my consciousness, and I couldn’t make sense of it. The hiss of steam, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and the gentle hum of conversation faded into the background as I relived memories of Chase.Hailey's fingers snapped in front of my face, shattering the reverie. "Ellie!" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with concern.I blinked rapidly, refocusing on my friend. "Yeah?" I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.Her shoulders slumped in defeat, her eyes a mixture of sadness and frustration. The same look she had been giving me all week.I broke eye contact, gazing out the window towardsthe kids around my age skating along the road.Why couldn’t my life be simpler and why did I have to be hung up on man way older and way out of my league?“You reall
I clenched my teeth tightly, my jaw aching with the force of my rage as I glared at him, and I balled my hands in fists so tight my nails dug painfully into my palm, but nothing could be compared to the burning rage I felt inside.His eyes, an unnerving shade of green, locked onto mine with an intensity that made my skin crawl. The air was heavy with the scent of his cologne, a constant reminder of the way he'd toyed with my emotions.Chase stood in the middle of my room, looking largely out of place in the lavender-themed space, his towering height and broad shoulders making him look like a predator in a dollhouse, and if it were any other time, I would have laughed.But not right now.Now wasn’t any other time.His eyes were fixed on me in a calculating gaze, and I ignored the chills that ran down my spine as his overpowering scent wafted into my nostrils.“Leave my room,” I started, my voice as low and controlled as possible.“We have to talk….”“Fuck we have to talk,” I snarled, m
Chase’s povI had royally fucked up, and even as she yelled maniacally at me, I couldn’t help the bulge in my pants.“You’ve made it clear what I am to you,” her voice held so many emotions that pulled at my heartstrings.I was stone-hearted. Nobody’s words ever penetrated me, but hearing her small voice break, I felt the overwhelming urge to punch myself in the face.A surge of power I didn’t know she had trapped inside that small body of hers, went through her, and she broke free from my hold, and shoved me. Hard.My eyes widened, caught off guard, but I was more caught off guard that I was caught off guard.“Get out. Get out of my room, out of my life. I’m done!” She yelled, and her eyes burned with fury and unshed tears.I could have pressed, even have her pinned down till she heard what I had to say, but I didn’t want to upset her further.A muscle in my jaw ticked at her resistance to me, but there was nothing I could do. I turned around in my heels and walked out of the room, b
The weekend came by really quickly, and despite my intitial resistance, the thought of soaking up under the warmth of the sun sounded really appealing as the days went by.And not because I’d asked my mother and she told me Chase wouldn’t be coming because he had work to do.I had been avoiding him all week, even when he tried to spike up conversation with me, and I’d be damned if I stayed back in the house and give us an opportunity to be all alone.I was doing what was best for my mental health and emotions, and that was staying away from Chase.Though I had been avoiding him as much as I could, my heart wasn’t doing much avoiding, because it still flipped each time I saw him.“Darn you, stupid heart,” I muttered to myself as I shoved the last piece of bikini into my bag, and got ready to go.I grabbed my suitcase, and after giving my outfit a once over in front of the mirror, I turned and walked out of the house and to the waiting car.As I stepped out of the house, my mother's che
“Touch me!”At my words, Chase gripped my neck and trailed his hot fingers down. As Chase's fingers traced down my neck, a shiver ran down my spine. His touch ignited a fire within me, and I couldn't help but whimper in response till he pinched my nipples through the sheer fabric of my shirt.I cried and swallowed a moan as his thumb flicked my sensitive bud.“Open your eyes,” he whispered huskily into my ears, his breath dancing across my skin, and my eyes snapped open as goosebumps rose on my skin. “You’re so beautiful when you’re turned on,” he said, his eyes burning with intensity and his voice dripping with desire.He pinched my nipples again. The sensation was electrifying, and I felt myself melting into his touch. Chase's eyes gleamed with desire, and he yanked me closer.My breath came out in quick pants, and I felt myself drenched down to my panties, but Chase had other plans.His eyes twinkled with mischief, and he yanked my hair closer to him. The pain shot through my scal
“Fuck!” I muttered under my breath at the interruption, my body heaving like buckets of ice cold and scalding hot water had been emptied over my head.My heart threatened to burst out of my rib cage as I saw my mother approaching, but she was laughing at something Daniel said, so she wasn’t look our way.My eyes widened when I turned back to Chase, but faster than I could blink, he pulled up his pants right at the same time my mother turned to him.I cleared my throat, and pushed my disheveled hair behind my ears. I felt my mother’s eyes moving between Chase and I, but I categorically avoided her gaze, lest my eyes have away what I just did.“Meredith,” Chase was the one to break the awkward silence, and I didn’t need to look at him to know he had a smirk on his lips. “My brother seems to be doing a fine job taking care of you, isn’t he?” My mother’s soft laughter carried through the space, and she told Chase how right he was.From the tone of her voice, she neither saw nor suspected
Chase’s povShe was so fucking beautiful. And innocent.I couldn’t keep my eyes off her face with her long lashes hooding her eyes, and her rosy lips in a firm pout, and I felt an overwhelming urge to claim her.She was so sweet and intuitive, and I couldn’t wait to finally sink my cock deep into her.And maybe I would have done that if her mother hadn’t shown up a few hours ago.My teeth clenched as I glared at the heads of the giggling couple in front of me, wanting nothing more than to slam their heads together for rudely interrupting me.I simply held back because of the fear and respect Elodie had for her mother, or else, I would have been thrusting away into her without a care in the world as to who was watching.With her head resting on my shoulder, her breath softly fanned my neck, stirring up my cold heart, and making me feel things I wasn’t meant to feel for a human girl.I had been on this trip less because I wanted to find the key to the chest back home that was somehow li
My head was resting on a very hard surface, and my body seemed to be in motion as my eyes fluttered open.I struggled to bring my mind to focus, and it took a while for me to remember where I was.Only, when I opened my eyes, I wasn’t where I thought I was.Somehow, I had migrated from the fancy private jet to a luxurious car. My head had been resting on a chest.Chase’s chest.And sitting right opposite us were my mother and Daniel. Daniel with an amused look on his face, and my mother….well, she looked like she was about to have a stroke.Hold up.My head was resting on Chase’s chest, and my mother was there, sitting right in front of me.“Shit!”I jumped up from my spot like my ass was on fire, to the other end of the seat.What the fuck?!“What….where are we?” I asked awkwardly, trying not to let my panic show to the three pairs of eyes staring at me.“You fell asleep,” Daniel was the one that supplied the vague answer. His tone was causal, but his eyes sparkled with amusement.Th
