DarcyWhen I opened my eyes, the lights seemed too bright for me and I groaned.It felt like I couldn't move as I tried to look around at the unfamiliar surroundings, trying not to be dizzy from the lack of movement. Did I die? Was I in heaven? Was this after life? Why did afterlife feel so small and the walls too plain? The air smelled wrong and the floor look too hard. l Where am I supposed to be?As my vision focused in on what was before my eyes, it was a door and it moved.A person appeared behind it and she was dressed in white, like a nurse.She looked stunned to see me, one minute she disappeared through the door only to return with a doctor.They both stared at each other for who knows how long until the man spoke up, “Hello? Who are you?” his tone was more curious than anything else. It was only when he moved beside me that I noticed the machines connected to my body.He checked my the machines, my pulse, my eyes, everything.“How many fingers am I holding up?” He asked aft
RhysNever had I seen anyone struggle so hard with their demons as Tesaa demons struggled with hers. Even if it were only for a few moments. It wasn't like seeing the woman who was fast to give comebacks once I said a word, it was like seeing someone different, broken, and damaged beyond belief. Even worse because she looked like such an easy target that my first instinct was not kill but rather help her escape the hell that held her prisoner. “Are you alright?” By now she was awake again after falling into unconsciousness.She didn't say anything, she didn't look at my face, she was staring into nothingness with no recognition on her face, only in her eyes. She could have been looking directly into an abyss or straight through to another dimension.“Tessa?” I called out but she didn't acknowledge me. I stood up and went to sit by her bedside but she curled up as if afraid of being touched. “Hey, hey,” I put my hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her, “What's wrong? What's wr
Darcy“You need to stop watching me like a hawk” I was finally free to leave the hospital and Rhys was acting differently and it made me uncomfortable.“The plan was to pretend that we are married and not for you to die. So no, I wouldn't stop watching you like a hawk. You can't leave this house without the driver and two able men outside, at least until your condition is stable enough to be left alone. We don’t know who or what we are truly dealing with. I would never allow something like that to happen again, especially from recklessness” He had said it as he walked through the room, going through his closet.I looked at him and felt so out of place here. “This isn't my life” I wanted to scream but I didn't.Claire treated me as if I was an egg shell, scared I'd break at the slightest touch. And she always seemed to be watching me when we were together. I was just... stuck in this house, watching Vincent work his way around while I tried not to think about what happened next.His col
Darcy “I want to go alone” I said loudly looking at Rhys as if that would change his mind. I was tired of repeating the same routine, tired of being watched like a child. It didn't give me enough room to think of what to do next. I didn't know the updates on Vincent and Cory and most especially of my son. It was like like moving in endless circles.“You can’t go alone, I can't let that happen”“Why? You don't own me Rhys and you know it. You can't force me not to be myself."“No one is stopping you from being yourself. Being yourself doesn't include being reckless when you know someone out there probably wants you dead” he snapped in a low voice. His eyes were hard. Rhys knew how stubborn I could get and even though he was right, it still angered me.“I am tired, I need time alone!”“Time alone only to end up almost half dead again? or almost raped or pounced on by your demons, which of them?” His words cut through me like a knife. He knew damn well what those thoughts did to me. I
RhysFor a lady who was 5 '3 she sure did have a lot stored up in her. And while I took her for the late-night drive, just to make it up to her, she dozed off from all the anger she was trying to keep inside her. Her mouth was partly wide and I chuckled at how adorable she looked. Weird. I didn't go around chuckling at ladies.Suddenly her eyes slowly fluttered open. as if she felt herself being gently shaken. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and squinted them to try and focus on what was happening. And she realized that she was still in my car.Her light blue eyes met mine and I drew in sharp breaths, taking notice of their color. They were deep and captivating, and they gave everything a certain mysterious quality I couldn't - can't explain.“We are here” I forced myself to say. Turning my attention from her eyes and lips. I would have kissed her right now and taken her back home to do all of the sinful things running through my mind. if she was one of those girls. But she
RhysI took a break from work today and it felt like it was the longest break I had taken since forever and my phone was buzzing continuously. I didn't dare check who was calling until I let the battery die and refused to charge it on purpose.I wanted to stay invincible, to pretend that none of this was real like the rest of the world was oblivious of my troubles. But I couldn't. This was my life now, and the most recent development in my personal hell was that Tessa was slowly starting to notice.I mean, she doesn't know anything, I told myself as I typed on my keyboard but she had been spending a whole lot of time asking if I was alright, and when I couldn't take it anymore, I avoided her as well. Thank God she was in a different room now.It wasn't working, the meds were not working, and the painful throb in my head didn't seem to disappear, and the voices?They had grown a thousand times larger than the last, each louder than the other and making me sick to my stomach. I couldn’t
Darcy“Do you want to dance?” I casually suggested it to Rhys. It had been from one event to another and all through each one of them, Rhys had withdrawn at least seven times away from me. As it turned out he was avoiding me in particular. It wasn't that I disliked him, but it did make me feel like the world's biggest idiot and most unattractive person alive because Rhys was so damn attractive, okay that was not the point. He was just distant and different today. Like he always seemed to be whenever he wanted to escape the spotlight I suppose. “Okay” I didn't expect him to agree and I was shocked. Nevertheless, he took my hand and we moved off to the floor with the music. His hands found their way to my waist and I gasped at the sudden contact. I could feel my body heating up as his palms settled against my bare skin, the dress was backless and for some reason, I started to worry if maybe the whole thing would turn out awkward.I glanced at Rhys and he gave me a small smile, “Relax
Rhys“You have five minutes” I wasn't bluffing when I said this, I needed to understand why she was truly here. This could not all be a coincidence, I knew better than to think that. This could be some sort of trap and I wasn't going to fall for it.“Rhys…” She began stepping closer to me and I moved back.“Tell me why you are here” I repeated my request “And for the love of God don't try to touch me or lie” I added a last part for good measure. “I am here because I want you back, I want to be better for you, for us ” She replied.I stared at her with disbelief etched in my features but she had an unbreakable determination that she was not going to budge from her stance. “We could do this now if it weren't so inconvenient…” She continued “I am prepared to wait if you aren't ready” I looked at her to be sure this was not some sort of silly joke.“You cheated on me Blair, with my best friend of all men. I did everything for you, every fucking thing you asked...and then I find out you
RhysAs I drove through the gates, my heart began to race again, I felt so free, so alive, my insides were ecstatic. They understand.They always understand me.After parking, Liam took his keys from me and I began to move into the house, I almost ran.What was wrong with me? felt nervous, excited, terrified.Why was I so affected by seeing Tessa again? Did she really make that big of a difference? Did I really get so attached? How could I ever explain that I missed her so badly to anyone? I was making it through the hallway when Claire's voice rang out from behind me.“Rhys! You are home!” Claire had come down the stairs. Her face lit up as soon as she caught sight of me, it was a mixture between relief and joy. “Claire” I called out, smiling at her too. Something was different about the smile she had on. It reeked of extra excitement and something else.She had her hands stretched open in front of her, it surprised me. I couldn't remember the last time we had such a moment. But I
RhysIt felt like forever since I last saw Tessa and I missed everything about her. It felt like I had forgotten the smell of home, like there was no home! Three days of torture, three days of not knowing if she was okay, if our child was okay, three days of not seeing her face, three days of not being able to hold her in my arms, three days of not being able to kiss her on the forehead, three days of not getting to feel the warmth of her body against mine. Three days of waiting.Three days of wishing to hear her voice again, her laugh.Liam had managed to convince me otherwise, I planned to leave immediately after the all-ceos meeting was over. No one was CEO yet so Vincent and I had attended- separately of course.Liam had told me how unwise it was to drive through the city in the middle of the night. I wasn’t scared, I was sure I could handle anything yet he didn't listen.“Oh my goodness, look at you!” He had one of his annoying smiles on my face.“What is wrong with me?” I was i
DarcyI believed in miracles. They were beautiful, rare things that everyone needed, it just depended if you trusted them or not. I didn't trust mine, if you were me you wouldn't trust it too. Rhys had gone on a trip after our awkward moment. He had made sure to leave an order not to let me out of sight. It explained why the guards were always a few feet away from me, pretending to be occupied by whatever they were doing.They were not so sleek, I knew they were watching me.It had been two days since he travelled and I missed him terribly and my heart ached terribly. I missed his touch, I missed his hugs and I definitely missed his kisses. It made the emptiness even more evident.Even worse than missing him I felt lost without him, my mind went blank whenever the door closed behind me, my heart ached and my body trembled in anticipation.I was losing my mind, I had lost it, it was pathetic. I had fought it for too long, in as much as I had denied it, I had to be truthful to myself f
RhysShe didn't say she loved me back or anything, she was just angry.I felt selfish for not thinking about her, for just wanting her to keep the baby.I went back into my office and worked relentlessly on the papers throwing my anger and frustration into it It helped, but not enough. My insides growled with fury, I could hear the constant bashing of my anger’s teeth, I needed to control it or it would scare Tessa. I knew she was having problems, the new news about the baby was probably making her more anxious than usual but there wasn't any need to panic. I almost let out humourless laughter at the thought of that. Here I was having the toughest mental battle and I was thinking of Tessa and the fetus. Thinking about not wanting to scare her, I didn't want to hurt her, something was welcoming about her arms, her soft warm body, I loved being close to her, she smelled like heaven and she calmed me down, no one could ever do that. No one could be as strong and brave and passionate a
Darcy“Do you not want this baby?” Rhys asked me as I looked down at my stomach which was still flat.His eyes were focused on me and there was no place to hide in his eyes. If it was me then I might have had the strength but looking into a face that could kill you without even raising their hand. Okay I was exaggerating.But I didn't think he understood me, he wouldn't understand me.“I don't know Rhys, I don't what to do. I don't want to raise a child like this. I mean what we have is built on lies. You sometimes act irrationally, and I do that too. I don't even know what this is” I gestured to my stomach and his eyes fell to it before he looked back up into my face.My hands felt cold and clammy but it was so hot outside it was getting hard to tell who it was feeling cold. And why am I sweating? “I understand you. You have every right to feel the way you but we can make things right” he said with confidence.And that made him sound so real. It was almost convincing enough to conv
RhysI woke up to myself on the bed, there was no sign of the golden skin beside me, there was no hair sprawling out over the pillow next to me, and no one snoring lightly in bed beside me. I sat up in confusion. Where were the colorful walls and windows? It took me a while to register that I was in my room, I had not gone back to Tessa's room, I must have slept off and didn't return to Tessa’s room.“I am awake Claire” she answered from inside.I didn't say it was not Claire, I opened the door and went in.She had her back turned to me, and was sitting on the edge of the bed, a canvas was in front of her. She was holding a book and she had a pen sticking out her mouth. I couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. It would have been cute if I didn't still feel guilty.She looked up.“Oh, it's you,” she said calmly.Her attention was back on the book, and she was focused. Her brows creased slightly in concentration.“Why are you reading so early?” I asked to walk closer to her, I wanted t
DarcyI had lost count of the number of times Rhys and I had sex. In his bedroom, in mine, in his bathroom, in mine, on the walls of our rooms, on the floors of our room, on the couch in my bedroom, one time in my favorite spot in the garden during one cold night and even in his car.We did everything, anything. It was amazing, the way he took me, how he touched me, how he knew exactly where my most sensitive spots were, and how he would always use those exact spots to send me over the edge. He always knew how to work me over. He knew exactly which part of my body he could make me scream or how to elicit any other sound I have in me.I loved it all. It was fun.It was wild.It was something that made our bodies shake uncontrollably. Every time it felt like the first time all over again.And that was always a rush. I loved it.The way that he made me feel sexually, the way that he gave me sensations.But I couldn't express how I have felt for the past few days. I got tired of doing n
Rhys Sex with Tessa was magic, it was enchanting and I wouldn't lie about not being intoxicated. It felt like the first time whenever our bodies met, I didn't seem to get enough, I didn't want to get enough, I couldn't. Nothing was worth hearing like her moans and soft screams, her pleas for more and more I gave, more I craved.I had gotten home from securing a new position at the fund raisers meeting. I felt uneasy, everything was making me uneasy and I was suddenly worried about Tessa. Was she alright? She wasn't in her room “Where is Tessa?” I asked, I watched as the maids rushed through what they were doing before their eyes turned to Tessa.“She hasn't been in here today, I gave her some books she is probably reading them” Claire finally spoke up.She must be in her favorite part of the garden. I smiled at the memory of taking her in that same place, muffling her moans with kisses while the cold breeze caressed our skins.It was then I heard screams, from females, it sounded l
DarcyHe had brought me to sit on his lap as he wiped my tears away, my buttcheeks hurt so bad as he forced me to sit, knowing how much it would sting.“Will you disrespect me again, Tessa?” he asked almost gently, that one would think he couldn't hurt a fly.“No” I sniffled.His cock brushed against my pussy and I let out a gasp.He chuckled lightly.“Is this what you want Tessa?” I couldn't tell if he was playing games with me or not.I nodded my head like a little child begging for ice cream.“Do you want me to fuck you?” He teased me. “Do you want me to make your pussy wet? Wetter than it already is? Do you want me to suck your cunt until you scream?”I blushed as I thought of the possibility of him doing just that. I nodded eagerly.“Say the words Tessa” His voice turned low and dangerous. “Do you want me to do anything dirty to you princess”That's when I understood what game he was playing. He wanted me to beg.“Yes” I told him.“Yes what?” he pressed on.“Yes, please I want y
