SIENNAMy eyes fluttered open and somehow I wasn't ready to get up from my bed. I was not prepared to get up from my bed at all. I was beyond tired and the warm hand around my waist held me tightly to the bed so it was almost impossible for me to stand up. I couldn’t believe that I had let Benjamin spend the night here. But I knew that I had no one but myself to blame. I had wanted him to stay. I had enjoyed the feel of his hands against my skin, the feel of his lips as he ravished mine as he ravished them, and somehow I couldn’t say that I was ready to let go of the moment. I kept reliving it over and over again. I knew that no matter how hard I might try to forget it, the memory was forever imprinted in my brain, and it would be impossible to forget no matter how I might try to. I released a deep sigh just before I turned to face Benjamin who was still asleep. The feel of his bare body against mine was so warm that it was almost impossible not to run my hands up his skin just to
SIENNAI was lucky that Benjamin didn't get caught leaving my room but even if he did, it would be easy for us to maneuver our way around it, considering the fact that he was always coming to pick me up or deliver important messages, unlike Sylvester who had no business here. So seeing him around my room wouldn’t create a whole bunch of questions that I wouldn't be able to answer and I was sure he wouldn't be able to answer either. I closed my eyes, feeling my nerves at its peak. I thought about what he said, about how I would never want to repeat the moments we created last night. The thing that scared me was that I wished I could tell him how wrong he was. He was wrong because I wanted to repeat every moment. I shouldn't want to but I did, and it was so insane. The intensity of my emotions set me on edge. I didn't even want to think about how I was running out of my mind. I was beyond tired and I felt suffocated in every way. I felt the need to lock myself up in an empty room and s
SIENNA I blinked in surprise. I was conflicted between being angry and irritated. I closed my eyes and I sighed as I tried not to dwell too much on the murderous thoughts that were running through my mind. I closed my eyes and sighed, trying to do anything to quench the anger that was fueling through me. I felt the sudden need to claim him, tell her that he was mine. But doing that would only send things spiraling into chaos. It took every control that I had in me for me to restrain myself. “I still don't know what you're talking about,” I said as I tilted my head to the side to stare at her. “I'm not going to repeat myself,” she said as she took a step further and sneered at me. I was almost close to being angry but I deviated from it and went for the option of remaining silent instead. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes after she left. I closed my eyes and sighed, trying whatever I could do to calm myself down. After I spent time trying to check if I looked presentable, I final
SIENNAWhen he noticed that I was taking time to respond, he narrowed his eyes in suspicion. “Where are you off to?” he asked. “I'm driving into town,” I finally responded. I didn't know how to tell him that I was going out of my mind and I needed some time to get myself together. Or that I was slowly running out of my mind. Somehow, I felt the urgent need to get away from this place. It was almost choking me up.“What if I come with you?” he offered. My wolf jumped in excitement at the offer. Somehow, if I did that, I would be giving her what she wanted, which was some alone time with Sylvester. I wondered if she understood my need to get myself together and to get myself under control. “I don't want you to come,” I blurted out and he raised his brows in surprise. “All the more reason why I should come then,” he replied.“Don't be so impossible,” I scoffed and walked past him. It was easy for him to fall in step with me as I walked forward, considering the fact that he towered o
SIENNA “Sylvester?” He raised his head up immediately and I paused with the waffles in my mouth as I looked at the brunette beauty who was glaring down at Sylvester. I noticed how her eyes traveled over to me and her eyes flashed with distaste as she looked at me. I was almost tempted to wipe the leftover stain that the waffles left on my mouth. I hated that I became so conscious and aware of her presence, and I was a bit confused at the burst of insecurity that went through me. “Samantha,” Sylvester said.His face was impassive and devoid of any emotion but I recognized the resignation in his voice. Whoever she was, I knew for certain that he was certainly not happy to see her here. “What on earth are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with Tamara or something?” She raised an eyebrow in question, shooting him a look that screamed disapproval. I could see his eyes darken almost immediately at the mention of Tamara and my shoulders went stiff. Now as I stared a bit longer a
SIENNA“When were you going to tell me?” The question slipped out of my mouth finally, breaking the silence between us. I was finally able to snap out of my lifeless daze as I returned my gaze back to his. Even he seemed impassive as he kept his gaze on the road. It didn't go past my notice that his shoulders were stiff with tension. I couldn't help the tears that slipped down my cheeks. It was pathetic, maybe, but no matter how hard I told myself that I wouldn't cry, especially in front of him, the more I felt myself shattering and breaking into pieces and the more I despised myself for being so weak. I closed my eyes and sighed, releasing a very shaky breath. Somehow, I was convinced that there was a possibility that this might be a bad dream. But I knew that it wasn't and it was a little insane and over the top to hope that it was but I couldn't just help myself. I couldn't help myself from wanting to be delusional a little bit. I felt the car coming to a halt as he parked on th
SIENNAI wondered how my teeth hadn’t fallen out yet from the amount of sugar that I had taken. And yet somehow, I couldn't seem to get enough. I was beginning to feel as if my life was about to be snuffed out of me in the minutes to come. I couldn't think about anything. I didn’t even want to think about anything. The only thing that I was aware of was Sylvester's presence and how he sat beside me, staring ahead into the distance, and all I could think about was how I just wanted it to be like this, how I wanted more days like this. Him sitting beside me while we both stared into the distance, secretly smiling at the little kids playing in the distance, both of us at peace with each other’s presence.I was certain that a part of us wished to join them, to run around without a care in the world. It would be a really nice experience to have as the breeze would blow through our hair, while our faces would be flushed with sweat, and we would have bright and wide smiles on our faces. I t
SIENNAWe had to switch seats and I had to continue driving. Eventually, Sylvester got out of the car and disappeared into the darkness of the night. Nobody could know we were together. I sighed and leaned against the driver's seat in exhaustion. Somehow, I came back home feeling even heavier than how I left. I was beyond tired and really exhausted. I managed to force myself to get out of the car eventually.My shoulders sagged heavily and having dinner was the last thing on my mind. I had no intention of having dinner at all. I was beyond tired and exhausted. I finally got out of the car and headed into the house. I had finally decided that I would make my way into the dining room. I closed my eyes and sighed before I placed my hand on the door handle. “Where have you been?” I flinched in shock and then I relaxed when I saw Benjamin leaning against the wall opposite where I was. From the looks of it, it would seem that he had been watching me for quite some time. I inhaled deeply as
