“Trapped in the web of secrets and games”Daisy’s POVThe clinic was suspiciously quiet, there wasn’t a wailing child or a frustrated mother shouting at the nurse.I exchanged a few pleasantries as I walked pass some familiar faces, but the person I was searching for wasn’t among the faces.“I have a great idea,”I shouted barging into Brittany’s office, the word died in my throat, and my eyes were wide open, taking in the scene before me.Startled by my forced entry, Brittany jumped out of Lucien’s lap, her eyes wide in panic at being caught.My eyes took in their disheveled appearance, Brittany’s swollen lips and Lucien’s untamed hair, that looked like it had been pulled in different directions.“uhm, should I come back?” I muttered, looking unsure of the situation I had walked in on.“no, I was just leaving,” Lucien said, his eyes fixed on the floor like he was avoiding mine.“Bye,” Brittany whispered, waving as he walked out.A short yelp escaped through my lips as Brittany pulled
“My lust has become an agony.”Daisy’s POV“You shouldn’t be here”I rolled my eyes at his rudeness. I get his need to be aloof but he shouldn’t be that hard on me.“On what grounds?” I questioned.Xavier ignored me, walking into the shed to drop the tools he had been using.“Xavy?” I muttered.“Look Daisy, I’m happy that you are okay, but you shouldn’t really be here,” Xavier uttered.My heart dropped, I wasn’t about to lose him, “I heard your attempts in trying to see me,” I said.Xavier paused, “I happy you still care about me,” I muttered.Xavier let out a soft chuckle, “what? You thought we would stop being friends because of your relationship?” he asked.“do you really think that low of me?” he asked, with a surprised look on his face.“no, I mean after the way we left off things, I was just surprised, that’s all,” I uttered.“No, pretty, I can handle a little rejection,” Xavier said with a large grin on his face.“So why did you stop coming?” I asked.“Never did, just knew how
“my hands are shaking from holding back from you.”Daisy’s POVThis man can play a cruel game.Hades had a sly grin on his face, as I pushed my body away from his.He smirked as he wrapped his lips around the finger that was teasing me between my folds.“You know you just have to say the words and I will give you all the pleasure you need,” he drawled out the words.I pulled the reins gently bringing the horse to a stop, “what are you doing?” He asked, surprise in his voice as I maneuvered my way off the horse.“I’m going to walk the rest of the distance back,” I muttered.Hades barked out a loud laugh, “princess, that’s quite a journey back,” he teased.“then it’s a good thing I have nothing else doing,” I quipped back.The logic behind it was simple, if I kept enough distance between us then he would no way of seducing me.But I forgot that Hades was a cruel man, who hardly played fair. I was in over my head but I wasn’t planning on backing down.Hades sighed, “I guess we are walkin
“caught up in your web, again.”Daisy’s POV“You only have to say it, and I will drown your body in so much pleasure,”I jerked out of bed, my heart beating loudly in my chest. I pulled the sheet off my body, allowing the cold morning breeze to touch my skin.I turned slightly looking at the empty spot beside me. It had happened again, the same dream, Hades kissing and begging me to succumb.“Morning,” Hades called, walking into the room, his body glittering with water from the shower.I bit my lips, looking at his body with hunger in my eyes, I could feel my core throbbing as he flexed his muscles, using the small towel to dry off his hair.I used his distracted state to my advantage, checking out his body as he moved.“daisy,” Hades called, with a smirk on his face as he moved closer to the bed I was sitting on.I blushed, my cheeks burning bright red in shame, Hades had caught me red-handed, daydreaming about him body.“enjoying the view, princess?” he teased, brushing his lips slo
“inescapable, I’m not even going to try.” Daisy’s POV She was everywhere. I couldn’t walk a mile without bumping into her. At first I thought it was just my active imagination, but then it became more obvious when I started seeing her around the stables. “I could tell her to leave, you know,” Xavier commented. I knew that would only push her more, I had tried ignoring her whenever she called out to me, and that only seemed to fuel her zeal more. “No,” I sighed, Astrid wasn’t one to back out easily. “How long has she been doing this?” Xavier asked, his eyes glancing over to her every few minutes. “a few days,” I shrugged. Xavier growled, “have you told Hades of this harassment?” he asked. I shook my head, she wasn’t out rightly engaging me like she had done the first day, it was just the coincidence of seeing her at every turn I made. “I will, I just don’t know what to do?” I sighed. Astrid looked like she was haunted by ghosts of her past, and my heart tugged, o
“the longing to disappear. I couldn’t feel.”Daisy’s POV“Hey,” Hades’ baritone voice resonated around my body.I hummed, moving closer to his body. And I felt Hades tense under my touch. I knew he could feel my mental turmoil, the mate bond made it possible for him to feel my emotions to a certain level.“I can’t keep Brittany and Priya away for so long,” he whispered, his fingers playing with a strand of my hair.After my break down at the stables, I had locked myself away in my room, using Hades and my blanket as my cocoon away from everything.Hades’ eyes swirled with worry as he observed my face, I could see the urge to question me dancing in his eyes.“baby?,” he whispered, my body vibrating at the word. Even through my drama with Astrid, my body was still super aware of Hades, I had imagined how good it would feel to throw caution to the wind and let him have me, but I knew I would only be doing that to distract me from whatever it was that I was dealing with. And I couldn’t us
“You won’t see me fall apart.” Daisy’s POV “You are going to hold me hostage?” “No,” Astrid replied, wiping the tears off her cheeks. “We are going to talk and not run away from each other,” she muttered. I looked at the locked door, and turned my gaze to Astrid, “this isn’t going to work,” I mumbled, pacing around the room. I felt trapped, my mind was flooding with bottled up emotions and I wasn’t ready to deal with them. “You don’t get to decide how I get to heal,” I hissed at her, my heart drumming loudly in my chest. “I want us to talk without you running off, I need you,” she said in a broken voice. “I need to get out, open this door,” I screamed, my fist pounding on the door. “daisy,” Astrid called. “You don’t get it, I can’t be trapped in here with you,” I gritted out. “don’t say that,” she said, her eyes watering as fresh tears welled up in them. I let out a bitter laugh, “don’t sound hurt Astrid, you have caused me far more pain,” I hissed. “I had a
“I can’t see it all. Trapped in grey.”Daisy’s POVIt was quiet, too quiet.I slowly opened my eyes, the brightness in the room instantly blinding me.“Don’t sit up so fast,” Brittany scolded, placing her hand on my shoulder.“What happened?” I asked in a groggy voice.It felt strange, like I was forgetting a huge part of a vital information.“You passed out,” Brittany replied, placing a cup of water in my hand.“Thank you,” I whispered.“What were you doing outside her room?” Priya hissed.Brittany turned to Priya giving her a scolded look, and I blinked in confusion trying to understand the situation.“who?” I asked, my mind was disoriented and I needed to fix whatever holes that were in it.“Astrid’s room, did she do something?” Priya asked, ignoring the look Brittany was giving her.It all came flooding back as she mentioned Astrid’s name. My head ached in pain, reliving every moment I had in that room.“not now Priya,” Brittany chided.“When Britt, we both found her hyperventilat
