“Killian pushed me onto the table, right where the porcelain shards laid and strangled me.” I say. My hand crawls up my neck. It’s still swollen. I can’t tell if he wanted to kill me. His eyes said something different. All I saw was the cold truth of his hateful intentions towards me as he threatene
- KILLIAN - It’s getting late. I avert my eyes to the rear mirror to catch a view of the lady seated in the back seat. She looks very uncomfortable. I sigh. I don’t want her to be. I know I messed up big time by being secretive but it’s these secrets that keep her life together and normal. The las
“Go on. Keep talking. I don’t want to be the one to ‘interrupt’.” She hisses, now making eye contact. I can tell it’s taking all she has to not break down. I take a deep breath. I guess she needs to know. “I was at a dark place when I lost my parents.” I start, looking at my fingers spread before m
“Basically what I said. Okay. You said there’s nothing going on between you two and you’re just work mates?” I nod. “Then that’s fine. I choose to believe you. Choosing not to won’t do either of us any good.” She breaths, hands resting on both arms as she exhales. She’s shivering. I gaze around
- HAZEL - I don’t know when I fell asleep. All I know is that I cried my eyes out that evening and stayed in the comfort of his arms as he consoled me. Letting myself be vulnerable again with him while believing his promise. I felt dizzy in his arms, felt warmth in his embrace despite the cold eve
“Goodnight kitten.” Killian turns his back to me. A sigh leaves my lips. I can’t sleep. This may be the worst time to let my hormones be on a rampage but I can’t help it. After so much emotional swings that transpired between us, from shock to anger to disbelief to making promises and clearing our
- KILLIAN - I can feel her breath hard on my face as she stares at me. I take my hand off her arm and let it rest behind her back then with a sharp pull of my hand, her body shoves forward, closer to mine. This makes her gasp. I cock my head to the side. My gaze lowers to rest on her face. I craw
Those words go straight to my pussy which pools with a newfound craving. My lips part but my head sinks into his sheets. I try to speak but moans escape my mouth instead. He’s not really giving me a chance to think properly. How can I when every reasoning membrane has been utterly fried while being
- KILLIAN - “Your girlfriend? What the fuck, Liam?!” I rage, dragging him inside my bedroom. The women are downstairs, spending time together to bond. “What else did you expect me to do? Let your woman peel the hair off your other one?!” Liam asks, sounding just as distressed as I was. His outw
I gulp, lowering my eyes to the ground. I can’t even call her name. “I-“ I can barely hear my own voice. “Kate I’m sor-“ “I see you two have already met.” A deep voice words from behind causing the two of us to avert our piercing gazes from each other. It’s Liam. Trust me, I am just as confused as
- HAZEL - My wound has been treated. I’ve taken my antibiotics and had a decent light meal so right now, I’m in the shower, brushing my teeth. I’ve already had my bath, I just want to have a fresher breath when I meet with my parents. I turn the sink tap on and cup my hand underneath to form a
- HAZEL - Killian tucks a duvet over the bed. I’m sat on it, well fed and stuffed to the core, about to lay down and sleep. On his bed. After spending my time on a hospital bed, although comfortable, his bed is my new favourite place. Something about having him near me when I sleep makes me feel p
- KILLIAN - I love my brother, I genuinely do but even I can tell he’s trying to get on my nerves on purpose. His drive is the fact that I care about someone else who’s not family as much as I do and he’s going to do what he does best and torment me. Sometimes, all I feel for him is love but when
Killian chuckles. “For someone whose body burns with need, you sure seem to exhibit self control.” I don’t have self control when it comes to you, but you already know that, I say in my mind. I would’ve spoken that out loud if my voice wasn’t buckled away in the depths of my throat. To be honest,
- HAZEL - I don’t know when I dozed off. All I remember was the two of us getting sweaty and all over each other in the car. I remember Killian being gentle yet rough with me at the same time. Our heavy breathing in contrast with one another as he entered me. As he tainted every inch of my bare
- HAZEL - I am awake alright. More awake than ever. I can’t help but shake the feeling of nervous anticipation at meeting his brother. This is someone Killian always talked about. His only family. The one he raised. What if Liam doesn’t like me? What if, that happens, and he somehow manages to
- KILLIAN - The plane landed. I turn my head to the side to look at the lady next to me. Laid on the sofa and asleep in my private jet is Hazel. Does she always sleep during long journeys in planes or was she just extremely tired or is this her way of responding to her wound? I can’t tell, it’s my
