I stood in front of a mirror and took in my appearance. I was wearing a black pencil skirt with a short skit behind and a red turtle neck shirt. I smoothened the skirt around me, then turned to zip it up. It was, however, a bit too tight, and I started to move it up in order to get the zipper up.A knock suddenly came on the door, and I turned letting go of the zipper. The skirt was thankfully tight enough to stay on me."Come in," I said, and Florian slowly stepped in.My eyes widened a bit as I took him in. He was wearing a full suit, his hair slightly ruffled and falling above his forehead in curled waves."Hey."I bit down on my lips, then turned back to the mirror. "You look like the Florian I imagined right now."I turned to see his expression, but he had none. Like always. "And who is the Florian you imagined?"He moved away from the wall, then slowly came behind me. I watched him through the mirror as he leaned to keep his phone on the dresser in front of me."Let me help you.
Florian had been waiting downstairs like he always did, and I slowly walked down to him, my smile small. He was a little distracted by something, and I came in front of him, my eyes taking a bit of time to watch him. His eyes were thin, and his brows slightly furrowed as he spaced out.He turned to me fairly quickly, however, and I gave him a small smile."What were you thinking about?" I asked, turning to the TV he appeared to be watching.Right as I turned to it, he turned the TV off. My face dropped, and I turned to him."What's it?"He shrugged. "It was nothing. Just a...""Are you watching adult stuff?" I asked, my eyes thin."I do adult stuff, sweetheart."My eyes widened, and I turned red as extremely clear flashbacks of our first night together came to mind. I instinctively brought my hands to cross over my chest, and he gave a small chuckle."Let's go. I will drive."I swallowed, then nodded, hoping he would leave so I could fight against the demons in my head, but he didn't
The tension the car thickened, and I found myself looking between Florian's lips and his eyes, my chest heaving hard, my body trembling with anticipation. He gave a small smirk before he started to pull away. Disappointment washed over me, and I blinked rapidly, trying my best to hide just how much I had needed him to go through with it.Give me his taste as punishment for disobedience, and I am forever stamped to he a bad girl. "Florian, I..." I trailed off, then shook my head.His eyes moved to something behind me, and for the first time in so long, I saw the same blinding wicked smile light his face up.His sharp canines came on display, his eyes thinning, the red lights of wickedness splashing through his orbs.My brows furrowed, but I didn't have much time to contemplate before he covered the distance, his left hand wrapping around the nape of his neck, the thumb of the same hand coming below my chin to raise my face up, at an angle that would give him the sort of space he want
"A heart attack?" Florian said before I could get my mind to boot and process the words Ronan had just spoken. "How very convenient, right, Ronan?"Ronan turned to Florian, his head slightly raised, his brows furrowed. "Why? Are you going to stop your little cum bucket from seeing her mother in what could very well be her last moments"Florian sucked in a sharp breath, and took a step towards Ronan. Florian easily towered above Ronan, and I remember back then, whenever Ronan would go looking for trouble, Florian's imposing height was good enough to scare the opponents away.The opponent was now Ronan, and even though he stood his ground, I could see a wave of fear flash through his eyes."And if I do?" Florian asked, in a tone that told both of us that he wasn't asking. He was daring Ronan to any sort of foul play. "If I do stop her, what would you do, bestie?"The entire area went quiet, and my mind registered it. It would be very convenient for Ronan to just say that my mother had a
"He is using you," Ronan said once we got out of the driveway, his brows drawn, his eyes fixed on the road."You don't know that," I said, my voice so low it was almost a whisper. I felt horrible for just letting go of Florian's hand when he was the only one to extend a hand to me when I truly needed it. I felt like a traitor, just like Ronan and Damien, and it didn't help matters that I was in Ronan's car like he hadn't shown me utmost hostility ever since it happened."Oh, I do. You are naive. Dumb. Unintelligent. A fucking typical girl who wants to jump ships and run towards any man who offers her a...""Don't you fucking say that about me! You aoded Damien to cheat, a day before our wedding.""And what if I did?" He asked, turning to me briefly. "For goodness fucking sake, he was going to have to listen to your stupid whining and deal with whatever boring sex you bring to the table. You couldn't even offer him one night of freedom?"My chest heaved, and I turned, searching for so
"No," I said, pushing myself away from the floor. The girls got out of bed and started to move, each doing a little dance around Damien. I didn't even have the time to be sad about Damien. I just needed to get out of here. I needed to fucking leave."Bring her here," Damien said, and the girls immediately walked towards me. I turned, grabbing the first thing I saw. A bottle. I smashed it on the ground, ignoring the several shards of glass that flew out to my hand, cutting my skin."Don't you dare!" I yelled, turning the sharp edge of the bottle towards them. "Don't you dare come close or I swear...""She won't be able to do anything," Damien said, letting go of the last bit of clothing and dignity he had. "And your resistance is just turning me on.""You are a fucking bastard!""I know. Florian made sure I found out. Florian made sure I fucking knew! And that is why he is going to meet you here, undone in my bed, because that is exactly what he did to me. It will hurt him, wouldn't
The sun was starting to set when I stirred awake. My body felt a little better now, but still sore, my chest heaving lightly as I turned around. The drapes were wide open, the lights dim, and the ambience calm.I turned, and Florian was standing by the dresser, his back to me. I don't think he knew I was awake, his phone to his ear.He was gently tapping on the dresser, his head slowly moving to some sort of rhythm that only he could hear."F..." I started to say but stopped as he spoke into the phone."Get me the whereabouts once he is out, then. I would like to personally pay him a visit."My brows furrowed, and I let out a small groan, and I tried to push myself to sit up. He turned, his eyes taking me in before he quickly dropped the phone and covered the distance. "Hey. What are you doing?"I met his eyes, then swallowed. "Florian.""Mhm?"I bit down on my lips, then turned around. He had covered all of the wounds I had incurred, and even the sting on my face felt a little bette
I turned to him slowly, my lips parting against his skin from just how close we were, my mind finally finding a bit of ease after the hours of self torment. He met my eyes without leaning away, the intensity turning my stomach to mush, my body immediately catching unto the waves of desire and restrained lust, and something purer helmed between the two.My hand gently moved, and my fingers pushed through his hair, and then through his neck, my eyes darting slowly across both of his."I was worried," I admitted in a slow whisper, my chest heaving. "I was worried you would hate me."He let his thumb run over the edge of my lips. "It would be impossible to hate you, Roxanne.""I want to believe you.""You should," he said, his eyes leaving mine for a few steady seconds to settle on my lips. "You should believe me. I haven't said words that I believe more, either.""Why?" I asked, my eyes flicking up to him again. "Why me?"His lips lifted up in a small smile. A smile that did not reach hi
