“What are you doing?” Rhys didn't seem impressed at all. His face held its usual blank stare. He looked at me as if I was done something wrong.

I smiled sheepishly “Making breakfast for you” ever since my encounter with Jude Madigan, it was as if I saw Rhys a little bit clearly.

I understood the demons he was struggling with in more ways than one. His whole life seemed to revolve around his relationship with his mother. She had sacrificed so much and all the while maybe, just maybe he blamed himself for her death.

“I have someone who does that, are you trying to kill me?” He sounded slightly amused at my attempts. But when the words left his mouth I felt like he wasn't joking.

“Oh, no.” It came out of my lips before I could even think of what to say next. “I… I just…I… thought maybe I should do something nice for you” I tried to explain myself but the words died on my tongue.

My palms were sweating.

The silence stretched between us. My cheeks flushed under his gaze.

    DarcyI had forgotten about the metallic tin man decor that stood behind me.I froze in place knowing how much trouble I could have been in. As soon as I heard footsteps getting closer to where I was suddenly the baby started crying and whoever that was retreated.I couldn't move even though my body screamed at me telling me to run away. I waited and as they tried to pacify the child, I snuck away as quietly as I could manage without drawing attention to myself. Once I was outside, my body shook, and my heart was racing faster than ever before. The only thing I could do was lean against a tree trying to catch my breath. After what seemed like forever I calmed down enough so that I could breathe normally again.When I got back home, I didn't feel at ease, I felt like something was going to happen and I did not want to be alone when it eventually happened. I saw that as an opportunity to do a little grocery shopping even though we were not out of groceries, a little shopping wouldn't h

    RhysIt was supposed to be her anniversary yet I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud. Most times I pretended like it never happened, that she was still somewhere full of life. I also kept to myself the thoughts that she didn't kill herself. My mother would never have killed herself but I didn't get answers, not after so many years. I didn't know what I was thinking when I asked Tessa to walk with me but strolling through the streets of New York was more therapeutic than I could remember. It was Thursday And I was supposed to be resting from the stress of work and most especially, thinking of ways to get the financial records.I was restless.I couldn't close my eyes without being taken back to that horrific evening, I didn't need any fucking reminder, I had been there when I was elven and I didn't want to be there anymore but it seemed my demons could not understand me because they were ready to drag me into their abyss the moment I closed my eyes. They pounced on me without me

    Darcy “Why are we here?” I asked Rhys.I didn't want to go out anymore. The thought of someone sitting in the corner and watching me didn't sit well with me and the last experience.“You ask this every time, like I'd always say, public appearance” He sighed “And because you're a terrible liar and I'm just being nice”“I don't think I like the idea of being here, the last time we were out…” I couldn't bring myself to complete the words as fear rang through my body like an electric fence, I shook like one would who is afraid of the lightning striking down upon them. His breathe as he harassed me after he had me pinned still played in my head . I could taste him on my lips, that's where the memory stayed. Rhys seemed to have noticed my struggle because he placed his hand on my curled up arms. “That's not going to happen. I wouldn't let that happen to you anymore” he looked into my eyes trying to give assurance. It seemed to be working for me, although I was still wary of him. “We will

    Darcy“What are you doing?” My heart was beating frantically against my chest. He had closed up the space between us in less than a second. The sound of his heavy breathing filled the room and I could feel his body warmth radiating through my clothes. It should be creepy but it wasn't. It was comforting somehow, almost like he really did care. His hand held my chin still as he stared at me with an intense look that I couldn't quite decipher. “Do you know what happens if you don't stop moving for too long?” His voice was low and rough. I shivered involuntarily despite the heat radiating off him. There was something compelling about the way he made my body react to him. His warm hands on my face seemed to make them react too.My mouth moved before I realized what I was saying. “No.” My response sounded more breathy than I'd intended. I cleared my throat and tried again. “No. What are you going to do?”it was a challenge, my face said it all.He smiled slowly , taking one hand away from

    DarcyThe silly dream I had barely gave me enough time to think. The light seemed almost too blinding as it shone through the window blinds and the sun’s rays were reflected on my face. My head felt it had been run over with a sledge hammer while my body screamed in pain every time I moved. What a hangover.What happened? I couldn't remember what happened and it was as if the more I tried to remember, the more the migraine tore me apart.“I want to kiss you” I heard my voice playing in my own head, but this time it wasn't distorted by soundwaves. It was soft and quiet like I spoke in my sleep. But where did that come from?My hand shot up to my mouth. “No, no, no no, what have you done Darcy” I wailed in my head as I remembered those words. I was the one who spoke to them, it was all me.Why did I let myself drink so much? What do I say? What do I do?As if coming right on cue, the door slammed open and Rhys stopped there, shirtless.I gulped hard as I tried to keep my eyes away from

    Rhys“I want to see my mom!” I yelled for the hundredth time into my father’s face which was red from rage, anger, or both as he dragged me through the halls of his office building. I tried to wriggle free of his grip and failed miserably. I kicked him hard in the shin as well but he barely flinched. Instead, he held me still and gave me a resounding slap across the face. I stumbled back and hit a shelf containing stacks of papers before falling on my butt. My cheek hurt horribly. It felt like it had been doused with firecrackers but also ice cold all at once.His eyes narrowed as he stared at me, “Do you have any idea what kind of trouble you’ve caused me when your low life of a mother brought you here?” He asked with an ugly smirk. I glared at him and spat blood out onto his shoe, “You know she didn't mean to do anything wrong.” I growled, my voice shaking with fear. My father shook his head like it wasn’t worth repeating.“You should have been more grateful for everything I have

    Rhys“What?”She didn’t answer, instead she kept staring at me as if she was trying to dissect me with her eyes, and I just stared back like a dead man in an old movie – not a particularly attractive look on me. I felt kind of naked, though that was probably because of all the clothes I’m wearing right now. Not exactly comfortable, but not really too uncomfortable either. But I didn’t want her looking at me like this any more than she already was. “You…” She trailed off as if deciding to say what she wanted to say or not. “Nothing”’s what I guess she eventually settled on saying, which was better than nothing, but she didn’t sound satisfied with it. It didn’t quite satisfy me either, but that would have to do for now.“Okay,” I said. The word fell out of my mouth before I had even thought about what I was going to say.I stood up from the bed “Where are you going?” Her voice followed me and I turned back to her, surprised that she'd question something so mundane as where to go.“I'm

    DarcyI thought we were having an honest conversation, I didn't mean to upset him but he left. I heard the main door slam but I didn't hear any sound from his cars so I could tell he didn't take any of them.Where would he go by that time of the morning?After about fifteen minutes, the door slammed open and he stood there, panting and staring at me like it was a crime scene for all of ten seconds before collapsing on the couch next to me with an exhausted sigh. He looked terrible. His hair was sticking up wildly in every possible direction and I wondered if I should get him some aspirin. Or maybe a glass of water. “Are you… are you alright?” He didn't respond, instead, his eyes flickered back and forth between me and the clock, trying to determine what I couldn't understand.Then he buried his face deeper into the sofa cushions and groaned, “Fuck!”He said fuck, like the most amazing thing he had ever heard. Maybe it was just wishful thinking on my part, but as soon as I heard hi

    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

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
