MelissaMy heart skipped a beat as I stared at Zachary. There was a scary look on his face that had me completely worried, and even though we were already far away enough from eachother, I took another step back, just in case he decided to react.How could I have missed him yesterday? I wondered to myself as my heart searched for the answer that wouldn’t sound ridiculous to his ears. Normally, I would have noticed his presence yesterday, but I was too distracted with Alan to notice. Now he was hurt, and mad, and looked like he was going to kill me.How had he felt? I wondered again, because I knew I would have killed anyone who dared to lock lips with him. How had he managed to watch Alan and I kiss passionately without doing anything ridiculous? What was I supposed to say to calm him down right now?“I want you to be calm, Professor Zach.” I said, making the mistake of calling him by his title and he walked forward towards me, yanking my hand until I was almost against his chest.“Do
MelissaI couldn’t stop touching my lips. No matter how much I tried, it was impossible not to touch it, or feel it, or think of the moment Zachary had kissed me. The kiss had been a quick one, but that didn’t make it any less special. It hadn’t been what I was anticipating and for someone who had thought about kissing Zachary over and over again, I would say I was very much surprised. I knew not every girl would have appreciated being yanked like that and kissed without her consent, but I found myself liking it. His kiss had been fast and rough, with so much passion put in it and it made me realize that when something is forbidden, you end up wanting it more.The sound of the alarm all around the school snapped me out of my reverie and I quickly turned to see some of my classmates already getting their things ready to go home. I turned to Freya who was staring deeply into space as if something was bothering her, and even though we were not on speaking terms, even though she hated me
MelissaI had a decision to make.Now that things between Freya and I were okay, I began to think about my conversation with Zachary the day before. I could still see his angry face when he had made that statement even without closing my eyes, I could still feel his hard kiss on my lips and could also recollect all the words he had said to me but only one question kept burning my mind. Who among my two mates was I going to choose?I hated been put in this situation, a situation where I was supposed to make a choice between two men I was hopelessly falling in love with. Both men were so important to me that the thought of losing either of them or the thought of either of them ever having a relationship with any other person, crushed my soul. I didn’t think I would be able to handle it and whether Freya was right about me being selfish or not, there was no way I was going to let both men go.The ruffling of flowers and silent footsteps in the garden had me turning immediately, only to s
MelissaThe next day at school, I walked past Zachary at the gate, offering him a smile of acknowledgement, but he completely ignored me like he hadn’t seen me. I scoffed in surprise but said nothing to him since it was unwise to engage in a fight with my professor in front of the whole school. I waved Alan goodbye on my way in and didn’t wait to see if he and Zachary would engage in their usual staring contest especially now that Zachary knew Alan was also my mate.Inside the class, Freya took her seat, and I watched her take out the plate of brownies she had woken me up so early to prepare. She sniffed it with joy before leaving the class with a big smile pasted on her face.“Where is she going to?” Chloe asked me after bumping into her on her way in, but I rolled my eyes in response, not pleased with the fact that Freya was heading to the gym. I had wanted to go to the gym to wait for Zachary to finish his duty but since Freya had beaten me to it, I had no other option but to remai
MelissaZachary managed to ruin my mood throughout the day in school up to the point that when it was time to leave, even Chloe noticed how sour I was. She asked me about it numerous times on our way out of the school building, but I continued to ignore her, telling her I was fine and that nothing was wrong.Professor Zach was at the gate when we got to it and Freya waved him goodbye at once. To my surprise, he waved back at her for the first time ever, his gaze shifting to meet mine briefly before looking away again. I shook my head at him, and without saying a single word, walked to Alan’s waiting car in the driveway.“Well, if it isn’t my favorite people,” Alan said out loud to us, completely ignoring Chloe who waved him goodbye. He saw the look on my face while I opened the door of the car and raised his eyebrows in surprise.“Hello, Alan.” Freya responded to his cheerful greeting before slipping into the back seat of the car. On our way home, Freya and Alan chatted with eachother
MelissaI couldn’t control it. The way my heart continued to pound hardly in my chest was difficult to control after hearing Alan say those simple words to me. Seeing the look in his eyes and knowing that he meant every word, it was difficult to control the pounding of my fragile heart. I had a lot of reasons to say no to him; one being that we weren’t alone in the house and even though the servants usually had no reason to come the stairs, we were still not alone in the house. Two, being that we lived together and that our parents and Freya might return at any time. Three, being that it was just plain wrong. It was wrong to have sex or make love with him even though we were mates. He was my stepbrother and our parents trusted us enough not to have any suspicions about us. I had so many reasons to turn my back away from him.But I held his shirt and pulled him closer instead, moving him close to the window to bring down the curtain. When the room was now dimly lit with just the light
AlanThere were no words to describe my first experience with Melissa. I laid there, cuddling with her, my hands brushing through her lush strands without saying a word. In fact, for more than twenty minutes, we had said nothing to eachother and only stared at the settee. But I was sure neither of us could actually see what was being shown on it. I still couldn’t believe Melissa had allowed me make love to her. When I had proposed it to her, I thought she would have given me her usual response, I thought she would have told me a million reasons why we shouldn’t be having sex, but she had done the exact opposite. She had led me to the window to take down the curtains and for long as I will live, I would forever remember that simple gesture of hers. Because it was a gesture that led to this special moment between both of us.The sudden movement from Melissa had me shifting a little to look into her eyes and I prayed to the goddess not to find regret in them. If she showed an ounce of r
ZacharyI sat in the living room with Alexa, my eyes pasted on the telenovela she was watching on the television even though I could barely see anything. My thoughts kept drifting towards Melissa, wondering what she was doing at the moment and if she was thinking hard about what I told her. I still couldn’t believe I had asked her to choose who she wanted to continue the relationship with, and the more I tried to tell myself that I would be okay if she chose Alan, the more scared I became.Of course, I wouldn’t be okay if she chose Alan. I would be miserable and angry and might even quit my job in order not to see her again. But it was still important for her to choose one between both of us, because I didn’t think I would be able to live with the knowledge that Alan was kissing the same lips that I was kissing, or touching the same body that I was touching. So, whether I would be left heartbroken after everything or not, it was still important for Melissa to make a choice.The loud
