Cross “What do you mean you lost her? She has been with you for what? Two minutes and you already lost her?” I yelled out. I couldn’t believe he nagged and talked me into the one-week thing only for him to lose her just a few hours after she arrived at his house. “You lost her too, stop acting like she didn’t bail on you too.” “Yes, but not on the first day and you know why she left! I damn well know that it’s not for the same reason because your horny ass won’t let her leave,” Even thinking about it made me jealous. I hated it so much. “I didn’t stop you from having her and she was clearly ready and willing. Again, don’t blame me.” Lucas yelled at me. “Who said that I am blaming you? You lost her! You couldn’t even properly take care of her and ensure she stayed safe but you wanted so much to have her with you.” I should have expected it to happen. I blame too because I shouldn’t have hung up until I managed to talk her out of leaving the house but I had been too b
Lucas “Get out of my way you fucking idiot!” I yelled at a car going so slow even though there wasn’t any traffic ahead of it. “Fuck you!” The driver in the car called out. I swore under my breath as I moved past him and made sure to give him the middle finger. If I wasn’t in a hurry, I would have found out about him and dealt with him. “You are going too fast!” The passenger in my car with me let out and I glared at him angrily. Why did I even agree to go pick him up? The time I spent going over to his pack would have been spent looking for my mate. “Shut the fuck up and make sure we are going in the right direction,” I fired at him. I was almost going crazy with worry and the fucker didn’t even look fazed. I shouldn’t have gone to pick him up. I should have focused on checking all the nightclubs around. Thalia turned off her phone so none of us could reach her and right now, we are tracking her car. Hopefully, we will find her safe and sound. I was fucking tensed
Thalia“Are you having fun?” I cheered loudly so that Emily could hear me over the music. She nodded enthusiastically. I smiled and reached for our hand as we danced together on the filled dance floor. There were so many young people here too having fun for the weekend before the beginning of another school or work life.It was crazy that I even feared I would be unsafe while I walked in here. Funny, I let their words get to me. I was safe and having fun like every other young person in the room right now. The smiles, the laughter, and the mix of smells and sweat were everything. The adrenaline rush. It just felt right.Nothing could possibly go wrong.“Do you want to have another shot?” I called out to Emily and made a driving gesture just in case she didn’t hear me. She nodded, and her smile made me realize that she was already drunk. I wasn’t drunk, but I wanted to get drunk. We already called for a designated driver like we always do. We might not look it, but we are really good
Thalia.“Oh no.” I cried out and tried to stop him but he was so fucking fast. Before I could reach him, he already reached my new friend, lifted him up, and started punching him relentlessly. I ran towards them and tried to push him away but he was bigger than me. By now, all the clubbers were no longer dancing, the music stopped completely.No one attempted to stop him. They were just looking and some were even on their phone, clearly recording. Fuck! “Cross! Stop it! What the fuck is wrong with you?” I yelled at Cross but he didn’t even move. It was as if he didn’t hear me. I tried to stop him again but it was pointless. I looked around and saw Lucas. I ran towards him without thinking and grabbed his arms.“Stop him! He is going to kill him.” I yelled at him but the fucker just pulled me behind him. I pushed him hard.“Stop him!” I yelled at him again and hit him hard but he didn’t make a move to stop Cross who was still busy hitting my new friend. I ran back to him and thi
Thalia “How could you do that to him? What did he do to you?” I let out.“He was hitting on you.” I couldn’t believe it. That’s it? That’s why he pushed him like that and beat him up. I opened my mouth to speak but couldn’t get any words out. I was too stunned to speak. Lucas took that moment to appear.“I took care of him and paid for his hospital bills. You don’t have to worry about him.” He didn’t say that to me. He didn’t even look at me. He said that to Cross and the fucker nodded. I pointed from one to the other.“You both came here to beat an innocent guy up and send him to the hospital? How is that legal?” I asked them.“I didn’t beat him up, he did.”Lucas said, pointing at Cross who fucking nodded. He didn’t even look remorseful. Wow, I must really have bad taste in men.“Why are you two even here? How did you find me?” I asked the most important question.“Did you really think that we wouldn’t find you? I told you to stay at home. Why didn’t you listen to me?” Cross
Thalia“You beat up a guy over two decades younger than you. You should be ashamed and hide your head in shame. You don’t fucking get to talk right now Cross because I am fucking disappointed in you. I expected something like that from him but you? He was nineteen and we were just fucking talking! Think about what you did and be ashamed of yourself.” I yelled at each word to make sure he got every one of them. At least he looked uncomfortable. That’s not enough, he should go bury his head in shame somewhere far away.“He’s nineteen?” I turned to Lucas at his words. He was no better than Cross. I am sure if he had walked in on us talking first, he would have beat the poor guy up too.“You didn’t stop him! I told you to stop him but you let him just keep hitting him. You are just as bad as him. I don’t like you both very much right now.” I told him firmly.“Can we talk about this more at home?” Really? At home? What home?“No, I am not going back to your house. I have decided to sto
Thalia “Don’t” My inner voice warned but I refused to listen. If we are just going to continue disagreeing then, it all should come to an end now when barely anything has happened and we still could easily forget each other. It was best for me as I refused to live the kind of life that they wanted me to live. “You know what? Let’s just put an end to this. I don’t give a fuck what you both want and this is my life. I am my own person and I decide who can be in my life. I don’t want you both in my life anymore.” I said the words loud and firm to make sure they both heard me clearly. “You can’t do t---“ “Yes, I can! Just fucking leave me alone. I don’t want to do this anymore. You guys are no fun. You just want me to listen and do everything you want. It’s not healthy for me. I don’t want this kind of life.” I didn’t want to cry but I felt so choked up. Everything that has been happening all week paled in comparison to what happened today. At least, it had only been about m
Lucas “Why did you let her leave?” Cross yelled at me after the car carrying Thalia left the clubhouse. I ignored his outburst and made my way back to my car. If he doesn’t follow me then I am going to go without him. I wasn’t obligated to drive him back to his pack. He really had the mind to ask such a stupid question when he messed things up for both of us with his actions. Here I thought he was the level-headed one of the two of us. Turned out that with the right provocation, he could be just as bad as me. His actions got us both in trouble. It was my fault too because I didn’t stop him when Thalia asked me to. In my defense, I didn’t know the reason he decided to beat that boy up. I walked in on him already punching him so I just assumed he did something to deserve the beating. Turned out the fucker got jealous. Funny how a week ago, he had been the one schooling me about acting all jealous with that other human boy whose name I don’t even want to think about. At le
Thalia “You like being kissed don’t you?” I nodded at his question. I was still too out of breath to speak. He smiled and caressed my face. “You are in luck. You have two mates to kiss you whenever you want.” He kissed me again and I smiled in happiness. Of course, I am the luckiest girl in the world. I got two of the hottest men in the world and what’s even more amazing, they know about each other and are willing to be with me together. “Can’t I ask you something?” He asked in a serious tone. “Yes,” I answered without hesitation. “That guy, the one who blocked your car, how much do you know about his family?” I knew who he was referring to even though he didn’t mention names. His question was surprising because I didn’t expect him to still remember Burke and not to talk of bringing him up while we were naked in bed together. Does that mean he looked him up or something? Surely, there’s a reason he hasn’t forgotten about Burke even though the incident with him h
Thalia “That’s for what you did to me last night.” He told me. I stared at him, confused as fuck and wondering what he was talking about. I didn’t even see him last night. It took a moment for what he meant to finally click and when it did, I frowned in disappointment. That’s it? That’s the punishment he told me about? I thought it would be something more. Like something erotic that would make me beg him. You know what I mean, right? I might have overestimated things. I couldn’t even hide my disappointment. “Why that face?” He asked me with concern. The playfulness of earlier was gone from his face. I tried to play it off because honestly, it was nothing to feel disappointed about. I don’t even know what’s wrong with me these days. I keep creating problems for myself. “Nothing,” I told him with a smile. He didn’t buy it. “Tell me. You can tell me anything, baby. Don’t hold back. I like it when you don’t hold back. Tell me whatever is on your mind no matter what it is,
Thalia He had nothing under the robe and was naked before me once the robe came off. I shamelessly ogled. God! His body was a work of art. I thought Lucas was packed tight and fit. Cross was just out of this world. And the most interesting part of him? His cock, thick and hard. His tip called to me as he reached and stroked himself. I swallowed and filled my eyes with the goodness of what I was about to enjoy until he got back on the bed with me. “Are you ready for me?” His words were more of a growl but I figured them out and nodded. “Yes..” I let out when he lifted his brow. He smirked and pulled me to him. He lifted my legs, lined his throbbing cock with my entrance, and sank into me. I couldn’t stop the loud, not-so-classy moan that escaped from my mouth when I felt him deep inside me again after weeks of wanting him and craving his fullness inside me. He filled me up so well in the way only he could and it felt so familiar. “Ohhh… Yess… fucking finally…” I let out as
Thalia “Cross.” I moaned his name in anticipation as he lifted my shirt to take it up. I raised my hand to aid the movement and soon, my shirt was off, leaving me in just my bra. His mouth closed over mine in a hot passionate kiss that had me breathing his breath and whimpering into his mouth. He kissed me hard and fast and then slowly. He nibbled on my bottom lips, slowly and sensually while his hands traveled my body. Then the kiss went from sensual to him practically eating me up. I had to up my game to match his energy as much as I could. God! He was as hungry for me as I was for him and I could feel it in the way he dragged his hands over my lower body, touching my bare skin with his warm fingers and leaving behind tingles everywhere he touched. I was on fire for him. I wanted him to touch me even more. I wanted to be completely consumed by the fire he started inside me. I didn’t just take; I also gave as much as I could. My finger curled into his hair and I grabbed a fistfu
Thalia “I missed you,” He growled when he pulled away to allow us to breathe after the breathtaking kisses we shared. I liked my slightly swollen lips. I could say the same about him. I missed him so much. I was the one who kissed him again. I kissed him with everything inside me, showing him just how much I missed him with my mouth. When we stopped kissing again, we stared at each other longingly. “God, Cross! I missed you so much! It doesn’t feel like it has only been a few days. It feels like we have been apart for so long.” I told him sincerely. I wanted to kiss him more. I wanted to get naked with him already and get to know him again in the most intimate way. It has been weeks since I last felt him inside me and the memories of that night were starting to fade away. I needed a redo to remind me of just how good it had been between us. “I missed you too, my darling. So much. I can’t believe I wasted our week together. I was such a fool.” I couldn’t disagree. It w
Thalia “It’s really you?” I asked even as I held him, his arms wrapped around my waist. I talked his shoulder and he let me go. I put a small distance between us, wondering if I was really seeing him. “Baby?” He called out. It didn’t look like a dream. It clearly wasn’t a dream! “Cross!” I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was here. He was really here. I thought I was dreaming when I saw him for the first time. I walked in and busied myself taking off my shoes first so that I could get comfortable enough to look around for the surprise Lucas had talked about. I didn’t even notice him until he whispered something and I looked up to see him standing there, it felt like a dream. I thought I had fallen somewhere, lost consciousness, and started dreaming. He was really here. “Hey baby, you are finally here! Surprise!” He said again and spread his arms out. The first time he said it, it didn’t click that he was the surprise that Lucas had talked about. He said it again and s
Cross “What’s taking him so long? Did he ditch me?” I grumbled impatiently and checked the time again. It was almost eight pm and still no sight of my mate and the fucker who went to get her. It shouldn’t take so long to bring her to me. We had an agreement. “The fucker!” I complained. I hope I didn’t drive all the way down here and did nothing. I dropped a meeting that I was supposed to hold to come here. I missed my mate so much and wanted to see her so badly that I didn’t think twice about postponing the meeting after I got him to agree to let me come over. I drove miles and hours to get here. I put my beta in charge of the pack just to come spend the night with my mate. He better not fuck things up. I wanted to call her after I found out from him that he messed up and made her mad but he said it would ruin her surprise so I stayed put. Oh, I gave him a piss of my mind. No way I was going to let him off after he made our mate angry and sad. The other thing he did to
Thalia “What’s the surprise? Tell me please,” I said, pouting my lips in an effort to make him spill the tea but he just laughed and shook his head. I wanted to know and now I wanted us to be at the hotel already so that I could see the surprise. “Patient baby. Good things happen to those who are patient.” He told me and hugged me again. He was right. If only I was patient enough to hear his own side of the story, I wouldn’t have almost ruined our relationship again. I need to learn to trust him and believe in what we have. The girls believed in him more than I did. I should thank them for talking me into coming to see him if not, I would have spent the night in misery all because of lies that Mariah made up. “I can’t believe I fell for her lies. I am so sorry, Lucas. I shouldn’t have doubted you.” I told Lucas sincerely. I can’t believe I almost ruined our relationship over a lie. Over some twisted narrative. Mariah might not know the harm she did by twisting what happ
Lucas “It wasn’t a date. I promise. She asked me to take her back to the resort because the bus left without her and she didn’t know her way around.” I explained the first part of what happened and why she even got in my car in the first place. I couldn’t leave her on her own. I genuinely thought that she was stranded and I didn’t want anything to happen to her. I got Thalia’s attention so I went on. “Halfway through the ride, she told me that she hadn’t eaten all day so I stopped at a restaurant and got her food. After that, she told me she got her period and didn’t have a pad with her so I drove to the mall and paid god the things she got. That’s it.” I explained to her. She didn’t look convinced at first but her expression started to change right before my eyes. I waited for her to process the things I told her first before I continued. She opened and closed her mouth multiple times without saying anything and still, I waited. “Did you hug her?” That happened too bu
