ADAMIt was my second time losing yet another game to Sara. She was tired of Chess and promised me she could beat me in every video game.She was back after telling me she came around to thank me for the day she was down with cramps. And I didn't try to send her away.I welcomed her with some fries as she bordered on her episodes with cramps in college and back home. And I regretted that I hadn't been there to relieve her pain.For the game, I was allowing her to win."C'mon, you should have jumped over that hedge" She cried out as I intentionally knocked myself out. She was so apt with the gamepad but I knew I was better. What was the fun in winning if I had to see her feel bad?""I didn't see that fast," I quickly made an excuse.She kissed her teeth, "You're not a worthy opponent, when did you last pick the game?" She said as she unloaded several bullets on me, knocking off the remaining two lives of my character."Get a grip on yourself, I need to find you deserving of an oppone
SARAMy legs took a mind of their own as they kept racing nonstop towards the main house. I was entirely oblivious to some of the guards who were coming from the gym and looked surprised at me running.I flung open the front doors, my heart pounding heavily against my ribs and my entire body aflame with sudden enveloping heat.I dashed to my room in seconds and took a few seconds to breathe in before mindlessly taking off all my clothes.What exactly had that been all about? My mind was in total disarray of distraught thoughts and I was truly shaken at the whirl of emotions running course all over my body.I pulled myself together and went into the shower to cool the heat emanating wildly from my body. I touched my lips which still felt hot and swollen with warm tingling and immediately goosebumps appeared all over my body as the cold drops of water enveloped my entire skin.It had all been so sudden, me convincing Adam to come out to me and see me as a confidante.And the next thing
LEVII hastily walked up to Emily's front door and pressed the ring once. I looked around, hands in my pockets. Her windows were widely open and a faint soft melody floated out through them. Her car was also in the garage. She was definitely home.Seeing how she had almost run me over the other time with the car, she might be in no mood to entertain me but I wasn't here for that.She might have all the hate for me in the world just because I cared about her and told her not to wallow in self-loathing because of Kai.But something very important and terrifying had brought me to her doorstep that morning. Something I didn't think was ever going to surface again.And Emily had been the first person that had popped into my mind. Maybe it was because she was stringently connected to it or the urge to look out for her. I just couldn't place the hurried feeling that had enveloped me through the morning.Someone had indulged in one of the forbidden rituals in Eden City which was known for ris
EMILYAfter shutting the door on Levi, I released the breath I had been holding in since Levi informed me about someone invoking some dark magic.Immediately, a burst of eerie laughter resounded around the house. I turned back to see the man who was bent on tormenting me and blowing my cover.His round face was viciously scarred and his bald head made him a lot more sinister. His eyes were bloodshot and seemed to penetrate my soul anytime he set on them.He wore ratchet-looking pants with several patches and open holes which showed his seemingly scarred body. He was shirtless and looked menacing with slash scars all over his torso.The huge broken shackles on his feet clanged loudly as he moved his dirty feet around my living room.I had brought it all on myself. Knowing I was only in need of the materials for the ritual gave me an edge and I had dug into the archives of my wolf clan for the resurrecting ritual.Resurrecting the wolf rogues had been the best idea I could come up with
SARAIt had been two days after Adam had given me my electrifying first kiss and suddenly, he went MIA. I didn't catch him working out in the gym or sitting by the gazebos, working on his laptop.After dinner the other day, I had expected him to show up for breakfast the next morning but he had been nowhere to be found.And I couldn't dare to go back to his apartment, I didn't know exactly why but I doubted he would allow me in. An opportunity came for me to meet him when Kai came down for breakfast and asked about my preparation for school resumption. I had mentioned to him I was yet to get everything I needed. Without hesitation, he had mind-linked Adam to come take me to the mall to get my school stuff.My heart had lurched the moment he told me Adam was going to be driving me to the mall. We were both going to be alone in the car. I was both excited and scared at the prospect of being inside the same space with him.Everything about Adam to me had changed after the first kiss. I
ADAMEver since Sara had looked so wired and bolted out of my apartment, her lips, her scent, and her skin was everything I could think of. Every effort to get her off my mind proved futile.I cursed myself for daring to have a taste of her, how had I let my desire take control of me?Now I wanted more desperately.The sweetness of her tongue was exotic and for me practically obliterated, delirious for her whole body. Something wild began growing in me and it was only her that could fill the space, that could make my heated body calm.That kiss had been liberating but it had felt like the tip of the iceberg.I needed to feel her skin against mine again, wrap my arms around her curves, plant hungry kisses all over her body, and hold her body in worship while she moaned my name over and over again with her luscious lips.My mind couldn't focus on anything else aside from Sara and it hit me harder and harder. I had jerked off to her after she ran away from my apartment. I had been mad
NADINESomething was up with Kai. I could feel it but I couldn't just place what exactly it was.I had held on to the thoughts of him finally acting like the arrogant prick he was. But he had been more distant and seemed to be avoiding me ever since he left my room speechless and forlorn that night.I had admitted I didn't give a fuck about him, that I didn't love him and his face had become a mask of disappointment laced with heavy sobriety. He was the last person I expected to have such a reaction. His stoic stern face had fallen and looked so defeated and I could shake his face off my mind that night.He hadn't desisted from the gentlemanly things he does for me. He still opened the car door for me, still sent my meal to my office at lunch, and made me the first one to enter the elevator. But his words with me were absent. He only gave curt replies when I asked him about anything.He nodded slightly instead of greeting me warmly like I was used to when he saw me in the morning and
NADINEA distressed silence hung in the air inside the car with it mostly steaming from me as we drove back home. Occasionally, the silence was interjected with my attention-grabbing heavy sighs which had been stimulated due to my lightly spent self.But Kai acted totally oblivious, sternly concentrating on a document on his phone and didn't bat an eyelid nor look towards my side.The thought of the woman who had entered his house strode into my mind and I fought the immense urge to ask him about her and what she came for.I didn't know what to expect from him, he was seemingly unpredictable.I decided to bring up another topic, I just couldn't handle the unusual silence. I cleared my throat, anticipating what his reaction would be this time."I noticed some discrepancies in the files of the Shawn Mall sent to me this afternoon, I was hoping you would also notice it?" I raised an eyebrow, turning my side completely to him"No, I didn't" His reply was short, his voice taut, he didn't
