ROSETTE POV "Are you tensed?" My friend, Kara, asked as she nudged my arm. "You've been so quiet, Sweetie." We were seated next to each other at the back of the cab, on our way to a private club. I turned to smile at her, "Uh? No...no! I'm good." I lied. Yes! I didn't feel good at all about what I planned on doing later this evening, but I was way too far gone to back out now. This evening, I would be taking up a bet made by my friend to sign up as a stripper at a private club, just for one night. I've heard stories of how girls made money from being one time strippers, especially if they were physically attractive, but that wasn't why I agreed to do this. I wasn't even doing it for the money, but for the fun of it; the thrill of dancing half naked in front of strangers that I would never meet again. A part of me wanted this because it would be my last attempt at being a rebel, before relocating to Los Angeles to live with my mother and her new boyfriend. Soon, the
ROSETTE'S POV "Follow me!" He growled, turning to face the manager of the club. I remained rooted to the spot, feeling heat rise within me. I was suddenly sweaty underneath the mask I had on. Within minutes, the handsome stranger before me had made a transfer to clear up the bet. The manager approached me, a sly smile on his face. "When I saw you earlier, I knew you'd raise a lot of money for me. Be back tomorrow morning for your share of the money. Tonight, make sure you satisfy him." He said, winking at me. A bolt of electricity jolted through me. The alcohol was slowly seeping over my senses, but I was not stupid enough to see that I was expected to spend the night with a complete stranger, all because he... "Let's get the hell out of here!" A familiar male voice said besides me, breaking into my thoughts. I felt his hand over mine, as he led me through the crowded club. ~~~~ The car pulled up right outside a large building, and the man at the driver's seat switc
DAMON POV I waited in the car as my girlfriend, Susan, walked into the crowd in search of her daughter. I was tensed. When Susan first told me she had a daughter, I didn't see it as such a big deal until this morning, when Susan requested that I should drive her to the airport. I closed my eyes, leaning back against the car seat, as I kneaded my fingers over my forehead. I was so not ready to be a step father but I needed to brace myself up for it. I loved Susan, so I had to accept her child too. Moments later, Susan got into the car, talking excitedly at the top of her voice. "Babe! She's here." She giggled, pointing at the backseat. I yanked my head backwards, just in time to see a young lady make her way into the backseat. Her long, blonde hair swayed as she settled into seat, dropped her bags besides her and struggled to strap on her seat belt. "Hello...?" I started to say. She looked up at me with a smile, stretching out her palm towards me, "I'm Rosette."
Rosette's POV“I know you want me, Rosette” The man before me said, breaking the silence in the room. His voice was low and husky. I was stark naked, underneath the bedsheets and I clutched it firmly it to my chin, willing myself to stay in control of my senses. Damon closed the door behind him, and with one pull, he took off his shirt, dropping it to the floor. "Are you sure about this—” I started to say, still shocked that this was happening for the second time. He was right. I wanted him, as badly as I needed air in my lungs, but this time, I wasn't even drunk. I was fully aware of Damon's figure a distance away from me. “Your mother doesn't have to know about this, Rosette. I've wanted to f*ck you again, ever since that we met at the club." He hushed, stepping out of his trousers. I looked down at the huge bulge in his underwear. “You like what you see, don’t you?” He teased me, as his lips curved into a sly smile. “Why don’t you have a taste of it again. It is all yours to
ROSETTE’S POV “Stop me…” Damon growled while breaking the kiss as we stared at each other breathing heavily, I threw my hands around him pulling him closer to me. “No.. no, i don't want you to stop Damon, please” I whispered while running my hands all over his back, for a moment it seemed like Damon wasn't sure what to do next. Not that he was hesitant, but more like he wanted to do everything all at once. “Are you sure about this?” he asked again as he ran his tongue over my nipple and I shivered. “Yes” At this point I was writhing on the bed, and my core was heating, all I wanted was to be touched and so I dropped one of my hands from Damon’s back running it along my thighs. Damon seemed to realize what I was doing and so he pulled back slightly. “You are such a naughty girl…tell me what do you think you are doing?” Damon questioned as his lips curled into a small smile. Before I could reply again, Damon covered my hands leading me further to my soaking entrance, my
Damon's POVFuck!What have I done? I was about to screw my step daughter again. First time could be considered a mistake but then if it happens again, it's definitely not a mistake.I strolled all the way to my room, regretting my decision to come over despite everything.I should have stayed away.But how could I?My body reacted to everything about Rosette, the way she moves, her lips, her eyes. I was attracted to her whole body and soul.But this was so wrong.So damn wrong.Despite getting out of the shower, half an hour ago, I grabbed a towel and walked into the bathroom again. I needed to blow off some steam and only a cold shower can do that for me.I turned the shower on as the cold water cascaded all over my body, as I closed my eyes all I could see was Rosette's face, the disappointment she had on her face made me extremely guilty.I shouldn't have pushed her into this and then I was taking it away just like that..I exhaled loudly while turning off the shower as I came to
Rosette POVAward of the most stupid teenager that ever existed, must go to me! I mean, who else?Because I mean, how much more stupid can I be? I groaned for the twentieth time while rolling on the bed.My stomach was rumbling on and on and I was famished, but I didn't want to go downstairs. I couldn't bear to stand with Damon in the same room anymore.As if the Lord heard my prayers, I heard the car sound coming from the garage and I shot out of the bed running to the window to see who it was.A sigh escaped my lips as I watched Damon drive out of the garage and it felt like a part of me had been taken away from me.It was a crazy feeling that I couldn't explain but one thing was for sure, I was completely relieved.With Damon gone, I found my way downstairs to the dining table where the box of pizza was waiting patiently for me, my stomach grumbled once again at the sight of it and a small chuckle escaped my lips.I dashed into the kitchen to get a plate when my phone beeped, and
Chapter 8: Damon’s POV “Suzie, everything will be fine, you just have to take it easy, okay?” I said comforting Susan.Few hours past noon, I was laying on the couch after responding to all my emails when Susan walked in, almost in tears. This was the first time in ages that Susan was returning back from work at that time. Immediately i rushed to her and she broke down in tears, turns out the deal she was working on didn’t pull through.“I put in so much work into this baby, so many sleepless nights, and now all my efforts are now in vain, what am I supposed to do?” she added, sobbing against my chest.“We will sort it out my love, we will figure it out so please stop crying now, i have told you before, you don't have to do all this, we can live comfortably and you don't have to work at all” I replied.“Damon what are you saying? You know my work is everything to me, I have built all this with my sweat, I can't step back now” Susan countered.Of course.Her work was her everythi
Rosette POV."Whatever I did was wrong, I'm so repentant about it, but I won't put my life on hold like this, do you like seeing me that way and why are you standing at the door like a statue?" My mom's loud voice rang out as she descended the stairs.It was obvious that she was greatly pissed because of what I said to her earlier but repeating it in front of Damon?I raised my eyes to look at him as his brows deepened, looking across my shoulders. "Umm, you should come in," I said softly."I shouldn't have come here," he replied instead."But you are here already, right?""Who is it Rose? Why are you taking so much time?" Mom yelled again.I closed my eyes, shaking my head as I opened the door wider so she could see and keep her mouth shut."Da..mon?" She stuttered as she froze in her steps."Yes Damon" I added, stepping away from the door, as I ran my hand through my hair."Baby you are back, you are here" My mom said, her tone filled with disbelief."I'm here but you are about to
Rosette's POV."I will tell you everything you need to know, next time, you are worried sick about your mom and we shouldn't delay any further right?""Yes," I answered."Hop on then"We mounted the bike and Rowland took off, after he was sure that I was comfortable, I took a last glance at his home, before dragging my eyes away to concentrate on the road.We couldn't talk much due to the cold breeze. Also, Rowland had this serious expression while driving and I didn't want to distract him.In less than twenty minutes, my house came in view and my heart beat increased tremendously. I tried not to overthink the situation and hoped that my mom was still asleep.The lights were still off, which could mean two things, either good news or not.I hopped off the bike while removing the helmet and then handed it over to Rowland."You don't need to walk me to the house," I said."You didn't even let me offer, can't wait to get rid of me?" He threw back at me."Are you serious right now? I woul
Rosette POV "Thank you so much, for picking me up, the food and the clothes, it means a lot to me" I said, picking up the plates.I wanted to leave after Rowland returned with his 'wild animal' but he insisted that I wait till the rain stopped and so we had dinner with the burnt sauce.I offered to make a new one, but apparently he was out of ingredients, and so we chugged the food down with zero choices."You look good in it though," Rowland answered."Really? I was going to ask who they belong to cause they look so girly to be yours" I added."It should be Rosa or Lisa, I don't know...""What did you just say?" I asked, freezing on the spot as I turned to face him.Rowland wore a blank expression, sipping from his glass of water as his brows deepened like he was in deep thoughts."Wait a minute, don't tell me, you... Of fuck me." I burst into laughter moving into the kitchen while shaking my head.I threw the plates into the sink, washed my hands and then dragged the top i was wea
Rosette POV I walked, my feet carrying me forward on autopilot, the rain poured down around me and yet I couldn't feel it. I was numb, lost in a sea of my thoughts trying to comprehend what just happened.I never imagined Damon would do what he just did, one minute he was accepting me and the next, he was pushing me away, Forever.He doesn't want me.Not today or even tomorrow. He didn't bother to stop me, he watched me walk away without a single care of the world.Just like earlier.Today I could see the line clearly and I regretted crossing it over and over again..And now we are all broken.Damon.My mum and I. Yet the responsibility to fix this somewhat broken relationship rested on my shoulders.But what do I do?How can I fix it?Damon was adamant, angry and buttered about everything and my mom? She was sad, shattered and I don't even know.Tears pricked at the corner of my eyes and I let them fall. I mean what was the point of holding it back? No one could see meI was alone
Rosette's POV "No, you don't get to say that to me, you don't get to ask me to leave because I only came here for you and no one else" I fired back at him.."No, you didn't come here for me, you came to fulfill your duties as Susan's daughter and no one else, why can no one see what she has done to me?" Damon countered, banging his fist on the wall.A small lump grew in my throat as I swallowed hard, I closed my eyes, hiding the tears that threatened to fall and then I took a small step forward.Without knowing what to expect, was he going to push me away or accept me? I couldn't tell.I couldn't read his eyes today, unlike every other day, just by looking at his eyes, I could tell his emotions, I could see whatever he wanted to say but today, Damon put up a wall between us. In his eyes and his heart."Whatever my mom did was wrong, so wrong and I don't support her one bit okay? I..she is broken Damon, and I cannot see her this way, it hurts me seeing you both like this and I'm torn,
Rosette's POV A gasp escaped my lips as I closed the drawer immediately."Oh no, not that one, I'm sorry about that" Mom apologized, rubbing her forehead."I..""Check the second one, it should be there" "Okay"I opened the second drawer and luckily this time around, it wasn't a drawer filled with sex toys.I grabbed the laptop and the headphones before walking back to the bed."What do you want to watch?""A Turkish series" She answered, adjusting the comforter as she handed a pillow to me."Let me guess, Sen Cal Kapimi?" I asked again."Yes" she added, a smile working its way to her face."Alright then"I logged into our netflix account and with the minutes the show was up, we both sat on the bed, our backs resting against the headboard as we watched the series."Do you want some snacks? Can I grab us ice cream or something?" I asked again, thirty minutes into the first episode."No please, don't go anywhere I don't need anything, just stay right here" she replied, wrapping her ha
Rosette POV "What did you just say?" My hands dropped from her shoulders."I was pregnant Rose and I aborted the baby because I didn't want it and last night, Damon found out, he saw the reports and he got angry, he didn't give me a chance to explain and he left the house...I don't know where he's right now and I have been sending him messages, all I want is for him to talk to me...""You did what mom?" The words slipped out my mouth in shock.I just couldn't believe what I was hearing, I mean I refused to."Do you realize how absurd you are sounding right now mom? How could you do that?" I shouted at her, rising from the couch."Do you think it's easy to raise a child, Rose? I'm getting everything I want right now and the baby would...""Hinder you from your progress? And you didn't think it was necessary to talk to him about it?" I shot at her."I don't need a goddamn lecture from you Rose! Okay, I already got enough and I know what I did was wrong, I know that, but it's done, not
Rosette POV Just before I could reply, Rowland intervened, he told Caleb how not good an idea that was considering the fact that Damon was sick, my mom won't be comfortable at the dinner and all that.Caleb apologized for how insensitive he was about the issue and I just waved it off.I was so glad that he was present at this moment, because if it was just Caleb and I, I doubt I would have had a way out.I thanked Rowland a million times in my head and my heart that I almost blurted it out but I just held it in. I made a mental note to thank him afterwards.After we were done with our snacks, it was already late and so we went our separate ways, Caleb in his car, Rowland booked a ride and I drove home.*****Immediately I pushed the main door open, I was greeted with total darkness, both from the kitchen and the living room and so I concluded that my mom was also out.I hung my coat by the door side and then placed my key on the tray while turning on the light.Immediately I heard he
Rosette's POV Instead of going back home, I decided to head to the ice cream parlor. A few minutes ago, I got a message from Caleb. They were still at the ice cream parlour if I would be able to meet up.In this state, it was the best thing for me rather than facing my mom. I knew something was off in the morning before I left for school, I just wished I paid more attention and not ignored it like I did.In less than twenty minutes, I arrived at the parlour, and through the glass walls, I could see Caleb and Rowland, on a table, scanning the menu as they said something to each other.I took a deep breath in, while trying to fix my expression. I needed to come up with something because they will definitely ask questions and I had to give them no reason to suspect.I ran my hand through my hair, while reapplying my lipgloss. Just as I took the next step, I winced in pain.I had completely forgotten how sore I was considering how rough Damon took me, and that was going to disorganize my
