PIERRE POVWe had not even unpacked our bags yet when the entire island boomed with the sound of vigor.I was actually stunned by just how lively everyone seemed to be. I was so beaten up by that little ride on the water that I felt like I could lie down for a little before I did all the things, considering the kind of comfort and relaxation that swooped through the air in our little hut. At this point, I figured I shouldn’t be any more shocked by any revelation about the wealth surrounding the Z4. Although my guy mentioned that the island was his, a gift he received for his 16th birthday, he still forgot to mention that there was an actual resort on the island, and he was making more money than everybody I have ever known while he was still a high school student. Yahp! He was not even in his 20s yet, but his net worth was 10 times mine, and it would cost me at least 7 lives to get to the point he was at. And don’t forget that he was the heir to a multi-billion company that manufact
PIERRE POVLater that night, we sat in one of the VIP lounges not far from the amphitheater where everyone was going wild. My hands tickled from holding expensive items the rest of the evening and covering them with gift wrappers while listening to the soft timbers of the Z4 and the rest of the squad. As usual, I was snuggled in his hold, except this time, I was sitting between his parted legs on the floor, my back against his chest and his propped knees the cage of my happiness. His hands were a gentle reminder of his presence as he kept running them up and down the length of my torso while engaged deep in conversation with his friends. It was a cozy evening, and everything was just so light and unconcentrated. Some of the girls, Elon and Romeo’s fresh arm candies sat in an arch in front of me, drinks by their sides as we silently worked. The three girls (two of them being Romeo's) were reserved, just like me, and I found them easier to hang around with than the she-devil perched
PIERRE POVThe night seemed both an eternity and a millisecond. I lay awake the rest of the night, my mind replaying my life choices and endless possibilities that can pull me out of this calamity I gracefully landed myself into. For the millionth time, I found myself chanting inwardly of how much I was better off without Poseidon and all he came pulling on his trail.Sebastian’s presence was a living thing besides me, and it was the soothing sensation that made the night less lonely and bearable. The sound of his calm breathing was like one of rain, his scent an elixir that seemed to provide me with ultimate peace. Of all the things I loved, the fact that he sought me out even in his sleep was top-tier. I loved how he would unconsciously search the bed for me before pulling me into a small spoon against his front, burying his head into my neck, and exhaling out loud.One thing for sure was that he did many things, but he never made me question my place and worth in his life, unlike
PIERRE POV The middle of the day was upon us when we finally left our huts, armed up and ready for the big hunt. And by armed up, I mean with backpacks and water bottles. Hydration is important, everybody.I stood outside our hut watching groups and groups of people disappearing into the trees covered in winter crisp, the vigor, and laughter evident with a boom in the air. I could feel a vibrant sensation bubbling through me, a different kind of excitement that made it impossible to stand still. I started bouncing on my leg as I impatiently waited for Sebastian to finish gearing up. As more and more seconds ticked by, and I lost my cool:“Baaaaaabe…” I screamed looking over my shoulder before stomping softly. A soft and muffled “coming” was heard before Sebastian emerged from the door wearing a hooded orange puffer jacket with black sweats. He had a cross-body bag strapped inside the jacket, his long thick hair tied up in a man bun. His pale skin and his deadly alluring eyes were j
POSEIDON POVSomething was wrong. I couldn’t quite put a finger on it, but there was something that was quite out of place. You know, that tactile sense of something being utterly wrong, but you don't know what it was. I couldn't quite shake off the feeling and it was unnerving.I have recently felt things I never knew I was capable of feeling, emotions that had me wondering about all the things in this life that could have led me to this moment. It took the greatest amount of soul searching and introspection to come to some ground level and finally agree with myself that I was an A-class asshole. And this time, I meant it. And it’s funny because it took my favorite person hating my guts to come to those terms. And right now I was still battling with the idea of just… letting go. Everyone’s right hey. I don’t deserve Pierre.And as much as I hated to admit it, the truth was staring at me with a big 'i told you so' smirk. And I hated it. I was just about to leave for the hunt
PIERRE POVIt was much more than I had expected. We were once again sitting in the lounge, stomachs full, with the sound of fire roaring in the distance. I was sitting front and center of the room, legs folded Indian style as I continued losing my head over the pleasantries I found because honey; they were more than pleasant. The mood was the easy one with everyone over with the whole hunt thing, and I was lavished entirely by their attention as my finger worked on yet another box of the many I had found during the hunt. At some point, I thought that Poseidon had given me some cheat map so that I can horde everything to myself because What in the actual hell?Although I had an almost permanent grin on my face, I just couldn’t help the nervous uneasiness that trickled through my body like molten lava, slow and unbothered heating my skin here and there with a kindled flame. In my busy state and the foolproof bubble, Sebastian wrapped me in, I was very much aware of that icy cold se
PIERRE POVThe tension was louder than the crackling of the wood in the raging fire, slicing through the air with a sound much rowdier than the plastic wraps when they collided with the hard, carpeted floor. I was shaking and still spooked from what had just happened, and I fell back to the couch like a dead weight of muscles and bones. I had an unmistakable thrum on two sides of my head, the adrenalin wearing off leaving my body tingling and my pulse skyrocketing. My eyes were snapped so wide that air felt like the tips of the dirty toothpick that kept pricking my eyeballs. I have never seen Sebastian so angry before. Forget about Queen B and her extensions that were plucked out, she brought THAT to herself. Even Poseidon’s charade of saving the damsel in distress was pretty much predicted. We saw it in a mile. One for sure was that she was not going to let her be wronged, not while he was there and still breathing. Poseidon may bang his fist against the ground and proclaim that
PIERRE POVLove is pale with black eyes and long hair.And I am the biggest, happiest fool of all time. Those were the two conclusions I came to learn after spending a week in Peddocks Islands. Nevertheless, by the time my feet touched the ground, I had pretty much settled with my heart and thought, and my mind just stamped everything into place. I guess that’s how the biggest, life-changing decisions are made. With a peaceful mind, lips pressed to the neck and a hand nuzzled in warmth. It may take a very long time to get rid of the thorn in my flesh, the ache chaffing me slowly underneath my ribs with a low thrum, and it may take a lot of fights and some highs and lows between Sebastian and me, but since the universe brought us together, I was never going to leave his side. It was him that fate brought me to, and it was him my soul sang for. That only was enough to seal everything into place,As for who made my heart jump, and my skin buzz, that was the last thing I wanted to dw
