A bit unwell; hopefully, when I am better, I can plan for double updates.
Out of the chaos around me, as the presenter moves to the next person to present their speech, the queen's gaze haunts me the most.I shouldn't have told her about the vibrator, our relationship, or anything between Adrian and me because then...she wouldn't look at me as if I were the most pitiful being on earth.I mean, so what if I came from a place I have never before? So what if my flesh is still twitching, and all I feel is dirty and guilty for not feeling bad for the girl who just collapsed while giving her speech—a speech she might have spent an entire week preparing for all I know? So what if I have this gnawing feeling that her collapse was staged—even though a speech like that would mean the world to any graduating student?That doesn’t make me pitiful.Without a word, I turn away from the commotion and head to the washrooms.The dress is heavy to lift, especially with one hand as the other pulls the still vibrating device out of me.It slides easily, delightfully grazing th
Adrian Muaas Knox "Muaas-" "No, Ru- I mean Elaine. It's late, sleep. The doctor said you need rest." Adrian uttered to the girl who insisted she wanted to speak longer with him as if it had been long since they last saw each other. "You almost called me your wife's name." Her observational skill was always annoying. "Elaine." He warned. She was in her nightgown in the guest bedroom. He stood by the door because he couldn’t risk standing closer; he didn't feel like himself around her so the best would be distance. The feeling had been there since she learned to use her lashes when speaking. Something about the innocence of her eyes drove him insane. Well, it used to drive him insane before he saw tears in Ruby’s crimson gaze, yet still, he no longer felt the ease he did around Elaine. She was like a kid sister to him, and now…she puzzled every fibre in his being. "Muaas." She uttered with a smile to his annoyance before both of them broke out in laughter. He couldn't stay
**Trigger warning: Drug abuse and Violence.**'What are you proud of, princess?'Again, Beta Leon's words play in my mind as I admire the sleek comfort of the Alpha’s car.My own, is in mother’s name, and I am uncertain as to whether she would let me return with it, so rather than risk it, I took the Alpha’s.Did he, like his Beta, have a car he saved up for? I know he is fond of the blue one; hence I took the SUV, but what did it mean to him?Was it like the tattoos up his arm? Did it hold a meaning so tender that he couldn’t tell ‘a Clive’?A sigh escapes my lips before more floods my mind.‘Call me Adrian when Elaine or anyone else is around.’Why would he say that? He has never permitted me to call him Adrian, even in my past life. Is it because he sees Elaine as a woman and wants to deter her by having us seem close?Why would he want to seem close to me though…guilt for the gala, or sex?It shouldn’t be sex; we are done in that sector, and plus, wouldn’t it feel better with his
Adrian M. Knox"How can she get to school this late?"His mother questioned as she plated a second helping for him.It was his fault; firstly, he waited till the afternoon to travel, and secondly, at her insistence that she wished to visit his mother, he made the trip home first as opposed to school.On all counts, he knew that he was at fault.He couldn’t ‘not’ yield to her.Even if it meant that he would pick Ruby up late."I need to go pick up my wife.""The wife you will not introduce us to?”His mother asked as she shook her head, something she always did when she assumed he was telling a lie.Without awaiting his defence, she continued.“Adrian, have you ever seen Elaine ask for something?"He sighed before answering his mother."No.""Then, let her stay the night with us. The whole family missed her, and she is a top student, so-""So, I can catch up easily."Elaine added from the door as she invited herself to the kitchen, making the scent of food vanish to her delightfully su
The wounds on my body are fully sealed; I am not bleeding anymore. The bruises have vanished, but the scars will remain for a day or two.The only problem is my hand.Fixing the dislocation was easy, but that's not saying much for the broken bone.I slide down the tub filled with warm water and open my eyes from beneath.The ceiling seems to move with the ripples of the water, almost as if it were not real; hell, I would give anything for this to be a nightmare I haven’t woken up from.The longer I hold my breath beneath the water, the more my lungs burn.But I like the burn because, like this, I feel as if I can turn off the world.As if I were in control and in just a second, I could disappear.In the woods...I didn't want to die.Was it a survival instinct? Because I don't mind it so much now...What about in the future? When I leave Ketria, will I still feel this way?No, I’ll have Elle.The thought brings me to the surface of the water. The air rushing to my lungs chokes me.Elle
"What?"The word from the Alpha’s lips does not sound like a question; he heard me; his ‘what’ sounds more like a dare.As if he was daring me to repeat my question.Then again, I could be wrong; it could be that I have interpreted the intensity of his gaze wrongly."Leon, your beta.”I repeat, turning to face him from the door.“Can I fuck him? I want to.""No..."He utters in a dangerous whisper as he stands from his seat ever so slowly.Why? Why is he standing? I can take the no by itself.An urge to swallow finds my tongue; that must be why I swallow the dryness in my mouth, not out of nervousness at his dangerous aura and the sudden loudness of his scent.My hand finds my throat before a cough escapes me.I feel like I am suffocating, yet…my body breathes just fine."No! No, you cannot fuck my beta. Are you sick?"He continues his voice louder as if he were not clear in his whisper."Sick? I only asked permission; wouldn’t it be worse if I didn't and proceeded to seduce him?"“Se
His eyes lower to my lips, no doubt perplexed by the smile that I cannot seem to keep at bay.It could be my imagination, but his face draws closer to mine, and his grip on my neck lessens, not that it matters; I am already certain his hand will leave a bruise that will again keep me indoors for longer than I wish."Mua..aas."The instant I pry the name from my constricted throat, his grip opens. If it were not for the door’s support, I would have crumbled to the ground.A series of coughs escapes my lips as oxygen rushes into my airway.He doesn't apologise. He doesn't even feign concern; merely waits for my coughing to subside and then tilts my chin to meet his face.He wants to issue a warning, I can tell.I despise how his height permits him to look down on me with ease; it's even worse that the coughing has wet my eyes.I must look pathetic in his gaze."Did you like that...me calling you Muaas as she does. Or do you hate it from my lips because I am not below the age of eighteen
Adrian M KnoxHis body was on fire; everything within Adrian felt as if it were melting. Her scent watered his mouth, and her sex squeezed him so perfectly that his rock into her elicited another and another that he could not control.He had no protection on him. His life could change in a matter of seconds, and he would be pronounced a father to a child he was certain he would have trouble accepting, but he couldn't bring himself to stop.She clung to him, her lips on his, her moans echoing and vibrating against his mouth, and her hands around him.He did not mean to slam her back against the door, but he needed more; he needed to move faster.The kiss's break caused her eyes to flutter open again, holding him captive in their unnatural shade.Her hands toyed with his hair, and for a moment, he waited for her objection; he would stop if she insisted...right?No... he couldn't, and he wouldn't risk her halting him either.With that decision echoing in his being, his lips found hers ag
