The evening was buzzing with excitement as I got ready for a fun night at The Vault with Aurora and Maeve. I’ve been looking forward to this night out with my friends, mostly because it was a welcomed distraction from the tangled mess of thoughts swirling in my mind, particularly those involving Damien.As I applied a final coat of mascara, I couldn't shake the memory of our last encounter, the heat of his touch still lingering on my skin. But I pushed those thoughts aside, determined to forget about him and move on.I have no other choice but to move on. Aurora breezed into the room, her energy infectious as she twirled in front of the mirror, adjusting her outfit. "Girls, you ready to paint the town red?" she exclaimed, a mischievous glint in her eyes.Maeve chuckled, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Hell yeah, I could use a night of dancing and drinks," she replied, already imagining the fun ahead.I forced a smile, trying to match their enthusiasm, but my heart felt heavy
SCARLETTWe slipped seamlessly into the pulsating rhythm of the party, the flashing neon lights flashing and almost blinding us. I easily spotted Aiden and Kyle King, Aurora’s brother, lounging in their VIP spot with Chloe Anderson, Kyle’s girlfriend. “There they are,” I told Aurora, nodding in their direction. Maeve, ever the considerate one, waved us off. “You girls go ahead and catch up with your brothers. I’ll order our drinks,” she said, already heading toward the bar. I nodded at Maeve, who soon disappeared into the crowd. Aurora and I made our way over to join them."Look who decided to grace us with their presence," Aiden teased, flashing a grin at me. "I was starting to think you guys would have ditched us for some hot date." His gaze was on Aurora as he said that.Aurora rolled her eyes, playfully nudging him. "Please, as if we could find anyone hotter than you," she retorted, earning a laugh from the group. Aiden placed his hand on his chest, pouting and feigning being t
SCARLETT“Hello, Princess.” I couldn’t help but feel a surge of both fear and arousal at his words. Damien had always had a way of igniting something primal within me, a magnetic pull that drew me to him even against my better judgment.But as his hand tightened around my wrist, a sharp pang of frustration and anger cut through the haze of desire. I knew he was deranged, but I didn’t think he was so insane that he’d walk into a dead trap like this, risking everything for the sake of his reckless impulses.Is that care I sense…“What the fuck are you doing here?” I demanded, my voice laced with irritation.Damien’s gaze bore into mine, intense and unwavering. “You haven’t been answering my calls or messages. We need to talk,” he replied, his tone heavy with emotion.A bitter laugh escaped my lips. “There’s nothing to talk about. We’ve said everything we need to say to each other,” I retorted, jerking my hands out of his grip and trying to push him out of the way to sidestep him. But
DAMIENI paced back and forth in my room, my frustration reaching a boiling point. “Meet me at our spot tomorrow. Unless you want me to toss your skirt up and spank you right here in front of everyone.”It’s been two days till I gave Scarlett that instruction, two days till I walked out of The Vault, hoping to have rekindled the fire between us. But I was completely wrong. When I waited for her and didn’t see her the following day, I texted her, firing threats upon threats. Still, absolutely no response from her. I even lied that I have pictures of her journal and our chats together when she was begging me, and that I’d publish it for everyone to know who she is.That was when I got a reply from her, and it was simply; DO YOUR WORSE, ASSHOLE!When I tried sending messages again, it wasn’t going through, indicating that she had blocked me. And that only aggravated me even further, causing me to chuck yet another phone against the wall in rage.Who the hell does she think she is? How
SCARLETTAs we walked into the familiar house, a wave of fear and arousal washed over me, mingling together in a way that left me trembling with anticipation. Damien's presence loomed over me like a dark shadow, his eyes burning with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine.Fuck! What am I doing back here?Despite my attempts to hold my own, to act angry and stubborn, I couldn't deny the underlying excitement that pulsed through my veins. The thought of being kidnapped and used had always been a secret fantasy of mine, and the circumstances of me being here only heighten my arousal.But as we entered the house, the facade of anger slipped away, replaced by a sense of vulnerability that I couldn't shake. I could literally hear echoes of my own moans and pleas ringing and bouncing off the walls of this house, bringing back so many memories that sent a zap straight to my core. I swallowed, clenching my thighs together. "I've always known you were mad, Damien," I began, trying to
SCARLETT“You’re mine now, Scarlett. And I’m going to make you scream.”I shivered.What did he mean by—The sudden sting of the whip against my skin jolted me out of my thoughts, igniting a fire that spread through every nerve in my body. It was a sensation unlike anything I had ever experienced before—sharp, yet strangely intoxicating. “Ugh!” I gasped sharply. The first strike sent a shock of pain coursing through me, but it was quickly followed by a wave of pleasure that left me gasping for more.“Fuck…” I moaned softly. With each strike, the lines between pain and pleasure blurred, my body vibrated with an intensity that bordered on ecstasy. The cuffs rattled as I writhed against them, my cries of pleasure mingling with the sound of the whip as it struck my skin.“You like that, Princess? You like being whipped like a little slut?” Damien’s voice echoed in my ear, dripping with lust and desire and sending shivers down my spine.I tried to remain silent, to hold back the moans t
SCARLETTAfter that intimate moment with Damien, I found myself unable to stay away from him, no matter how hard I tried.There has always something about him, something magnetic and irresistible that drew me to him like a fly to a Venus flytrap. But now, that feeling has intensified a thousand fold, and I couldn’t stop it.Fuck it, I didn’t want to stop it.I couldn’t deny the allure of Damien’s rough and wild side. His roughness and primal intensity was like nicotine and heroin— addictive.Like a drug coursing through my veins.There was something undeniably thrilling about the way he took control, his hands gripping me with an intensity that left me breathless. Every touch, every caress sent shivers of pleasure racing down my spine, leaving me craving more.Don’t let me get started on his kisses — intoxicating, leaving me feeling with desire. They were hungry, demanding, leaving me breathless and dizzy with desire. With each press of his lips against mine, I felt myself come undone
Startled, I looked up to see Aurora waving my phone over my head like a trophy, her free hand akimbo as she stared down at me, a smirk playing on her lips and her neatly drawn eyebrows arched up in question.My heart sank as I realized the gravity of the situation.Damn it! This could be a big problem.“What the hell, Aurora?” I was on my feet in no time. “Give me back my phone!” I leaped from the chair to get my phone out of her hand, but she moved away from me, her eyes glued to the screen.“I need to know what… or who has got you so occupied that you didn’t hear us call your name for thirty seconds straight!” She said, her voice tinged with curiosity and a hint of mischief.My heart began to jackhammer in my chest.No. No. No!Aurora’s voice broke through my thoughts, her tone laced with amusement.“Oh my god, Maeve, listen to this!” She held up Scarlett’s phone, a mischievous grin playing on her lips as she began to read the messages aloud.“I can’t get you out of my fucking mind!
SCARLETTAs the days went by, I couldn’t shake off what happened at the club.It felt like it just happened yesterday, even though it’s been a whole week. Aiden has been acting differently since then. His demeanor had shifted, his usual warmth replaced by a distant coldness that left me feeling isolated and alone. He’s been quiet and distant, like there’s a wall between us now.Our conversations used to be easy, but now they’re awkward and strained. It’s like we’re both tiptoeing around the elephant in the room. With each passing day, the tension between us just gets heavier.Now that we’re heading home for the semester break and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. Normally, Aiden and I would stay behind at school, keeping watch over the family business in this part of the country.It was routine for us, almost like a second nature.But this time, our parents had insisted that we return home for the break. It was unusual, and it left me wondering why.Why the sudden change in
SCARLETT“I said STOP!” I screamed, plunging the entire room into silence.My voice echoed through the room, cutting through the chaos like a knife. For a moment, everything seemed to freeze in place as all eyes turned to me, their expressions a mix of shock and disbelief.Aiden’s fist hung midway in the air, his eyes widening in realization as he registered who stood before him.“Scarlett?” he exclaimed, his voice laced with incredulity. “What the hell?”I stared at my brother right in the eye, shielding Damien from his brutality any further.“You are not going to hurt Damien anymore,” Tears streamed down my cheeks as I spoke to him, trying to get him to stop as I tried to shield Damien from further harm.“Move. Now!” Aiden ordered, his eyes blazing red like someone about to spit fire and brimstone.I squared my shoulders, meeting his gaze with steely determination.“I’m not moving,” I declared defiantly, my voice trembling with emotion. “I’m not going to let you kill Damien.”Aiden
SCARLETT“I want to formally ask for your permission to date Scarlett,” Damien declared out of nowhere, and my eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets in shock.What!“He didn’t just say what I think he said,” Aurora spoke from beside me, sounding just as awestruck as I felt.“Oh, I think he did,” Maeve responded.“Aiden is so going to kill him,” Aurora chipped in again.I couldn’t even bring myself to speak at that point because my mind was running in wheels and I couldn’t seem to gather my thoughts enough to form a coherent sentence. It was so unexpected that I felt like my brain froze for a moment.What did he mean by that?Was he serious?It felt like the world turned upside down, and I was left feeling confused and unsure. I didn’t know whether to believe him or if he was just messing with me.But at the same time, here he was, in The Vault which wasn’t his territory, standing right in front of my brother, his arch-nemesis, telling him— no asking him for permission to date me.Do
DAMIENAs Sam and I sat in the car, parked just outside The Vault, the anticipation hung heavy in the air. Sam’s voice broke through the silence, pulling me back to the present moment.“You sure about this, Damien?” Sam’s tone was cautious, his eyes fixed on mine in the dim light of the car.I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what lay ahead. “Yeah, I have to do this,” I replied, my voice firm despite the uncertainty gnawing at my insides.Sam nodded slowly, understanding etched in his expression. “I get it, man. You really want her back,” he acknowledged, his words carrying a weight of resignation. “But, going through Aiden? Do you think that’s the best idea?”I chuckled wryly, the irony not lost on me.“Yeah, winning her back by conceding to a Royal asshole like Aiden Castle… not exactly my best option,” I admitted, running a hand through my hair in frustration. “But it’s the only way I know how to do it,” I added, my voice laced with core determination.“Well, good luck,” Sam
SCARLETTAs we stepped out of the car, the thumping music hit us, making the whole street feel alive. The club sign lit up the place like a rainbow, and there was a line of people waiting to get in, all hyped up.The club itself looked cool, all shiny and metallic outside, with big bouncers checking IDs at the door. Inside, it was like stepping into a different world. Lights flashed everywhere, and the dance floor was packed with people moving to the beat.The place had different areas, each with its own vibe. Neon signs lit up the walls, and the air was thick with the smell of drinks and sweat. Bartenders were busy mixing cocktails and pouring shots.As we walked around, I couldn’t help but get caught up in the energy of the place. Everyone was having a blast, and it felt like the perfect place to forget about all my worries and just have a good time.“Scar, looks like you are actually having fun,” she stated with a grin, her sharp eye noticing my shifting mood, and I couldn’t help b
SCARLETT“You mean more to me than you realize. What we had… what we have… it’s different.The echoes of Damien’s voice were still lingering in my mind, haunting me like a ghost from the past.It’s been three weeks since he came to see me in front of my lecture room, and I still couldn’t shake the memory of it, the way his gaze pierced through me as he spoke with a gentleness that took me by surprise.For a brief moment, I allowed myself to believe that maybe, just maybe, he cared about me in some small way. The way he looked at me, the way he spoke to me, the way he was so eager for me to listen to him— it all seemed so genuine, so sincere.But he wouldn’t stop trying to turn it on me, trying to gaslight and guilt trip me. And even after I left him, a part of me wanted to believe that he would learn the error of his ways and come back to seek me.But as the days passed and he failed to reach out to me again, reality came crashing down around me like a tidal wave, washing away any lin
DAMIEN“Sam, I need you… Whoa!” I stopped short as I walked into Sam’s room unannounced, my words catching in my throat as I caught him smack in between fucking a lady.“What the fuck, dude!” Sam shrieked, covering up the girl beneath him. “Can’t you fucking knock?”My gaze shifted to the woman beside him, and recognition dawned on me. It was the same lady I had seen him making out with months ago, the one he called Emma.Only that she’s not Emma. She’s apparently another one of Scarlett’s friends, Maeve, I think.“What the hell are you still doing here?” Sam’s voice jerked me out of my thoughts. “Get the fuck out!” He pushed me out of the room, closing the door firmly behind him. I stood outside in the hallway, trying to gather my thoughts.Sam is also with someone from the other side?Okay, this just got fucked.After what felt like an eternity, Sam finally came out from his room with Maeve in tow. She gave me a once over, looking extremely unimpressed with me.I can’t say I didn’t
DAMIENI haven’t slept a damn wink since that night with Scarlett. It’s like she’s taken up permanent residence in my mind, haunting my thoughts day and night. I thought cutting things off with her would make her fade away, but instead, she’s only become more vivid in my thoughts.I can’t stop replaying our time together, every laugh, every touch, every stolen moment. She’s imprinted on my mind, and no matter how hard I try, I can’t shake her loose. I wanted to distract myself, wanting to use other girls to fuck her out of my system, but I couldn’t bring myself to go through with it. Fuck, I can’t even bring myself to fuck another girl without thinking of her.It’s like she’s branded me, marked me as hers and hers alone.She’s ruined me for anyone else, and as much as I hate to admit it, I can’t see myself with anyone but her.I know I screwed things up royally with her, but I have to make things right. Calling her won’t cut it; she’s probably blocked my number by now. So, here I am,
SCARLETT.The first time I was heartbroken was in Highschool.I had a huge crush on one of the seniors and a star athlete in the school, Jason. He found out I had a crush on him and asked me out, and I agreed, not knowing that it was a dare from his friends and teammates.They had dared him to take the virginity of the famous Mafia Princess.I had no idea of their plans and was literally about to give up my virginity for that idiot if not for Aiden walking into the room at that moment and beating Jason to a pulp. Apparently, Aurora had snitched on me, sneaking Jason into the house.Jason stopped speaking to me completely and I got so mad at my best friend and my brother for “ruining” my life. Now, I know they were trying to protect me.But look, I fell for the same mistake again, and this time, this bastard, Damien Hunter succeeded where Jason had failed back in High School. Took my virginity and discarded me like a fucking used tissue.I have never felt a heartbreak so intense in my
