As I woke up, I felt a rather unique blend of emotions that seemed to simultaneously bring both peace and unease, an intriguing concoction of solace and malaise. It was an entirely unexpected feeling that caught me off guard, leaving me pondering over its origins for a solid minute before the reason behind it finally clicked in my mind.Alexei.The bedside was cold as the coldness seeped through me while I tossed on my side glancing out the window. The weather was nice today, no more chilling breeze but there was a sweet intoxication in the breeze—tangerine and bittersweet.It felt surreal, like a dream I was waking up from. I couldn’t believe I came on to him like that, and then what followed... Groaning, I rolled over onto my side and swung my legs off the bed. I was surprised when I found myself in one of Alexei’s shirts with no soreness between my legs. It was like I subconsciously wanted Alexei to make love to me last night.No. I shoved away the horrifying thought. I did not wa
“How are you feeling now?” I asked helping her up. The curtains were already open, and the morning breeze seemed to lighten my mood a bit. I was so anxious at the breakfast that I was afraid that Ralph or Alexei might suspect me. It wasn’t like I was doing a sin, but it felt like one. I didn’t know where this feeling came but the bottle of pills I hid under the cabinet still flashed before my eyes. “Better I guess.” Rachel eyed me curiously, her gaze softening when she saw the tray of freshly made pancakes and a glass of orange juice. After a deep sigh, she asked. “Why are you here, Rara?”I smiled at her. “What do you mean why? I was worried and bored so decided—““Killian isn’t here, isn’t he…” my smile dropped. Rachel’s gaze could penetrate through my soul and see what lies I was brewing behind my words. It rather made me feel exposed and I did not like that. Sighing to myself, I realised my emotions were always too transparent and see-through. Instead, I avoided her gaze to look
My veins suddenly turned cold as fear ignited within me, scorching my very being beneath the intensity of his condemning gaze. It felt like an eternity before I could gather my senses, only to realize that his words had seeped deep into my soul, rendering me unable to meet his eyes any longer. “I don’t remember buying them for you, Rara. Tell me, любовь, till when you were going to pretend this?” His hand moved from my hair to wrap around my neck as he squeezed the muscles. “No, i-it’s not that! It just….I am not ready—“ My breathing picked up as I looked at him apprehensively. “I am sorry! I am so sorry!”“No, you’re not sorry, Rara.” Alexei sneered as his lips curled into a snarl. “Not yet.” I tried not to shake under his fiery gaze as his other hand cupped my cheek harshly squeezing the flesh between his fingers. “You’re so fucking stubborn, Rara.” I tried to push him off me only for him to cage me in his arms again. “I thought we were progressing but your lying ass had to ruin e
“What did you do with Jude?” As soon as the door opened behind me, I quickly rushed to Ralph grabbing him by his shirt only to see a gun in his hand. My heart rate skyrocketed as I swallowed hard. “Ralph, you didn’t hurt her, did you—““Still stubborn.” His eyes carefully traced the contours of my body, appreciating the way my clothes accentuated my curves. His lips twitched in a scowl. I disobeyed him again. And this wouldn’t end well for me. I licked my dry lips realising I might not be able to walk for another week. My gaze followed as Alexei entered the room shutting the door behind him looking displeased at the sight of me still clothed. The scar on Ralph’s face glowed dangerously inducing more fear inside me as he stalked towards me like a predator looking down at his prey harshly yanking me by the arm and manhandled me easily. I always knew he wasn’t the one to mess with, or someone who could be easily fooled so why did I think I was sneaky enough?“No wonder she’s been actin
ALEXEI’S POVI could hear Ralph’s snores from bedroom as she looked at the door afraid if he might pounce on her again. She was shaking as I carried her to the bathroom, and I know it was as much from exhaustion than fear. It shouldn’t bother me, knowing she did not wanted to have my child yet I was too angry. Yesterday, and today at breakfast, I could’ve sworn she was starting to play the role of a good wife, finally realising there was nowhere for her to run to. But today, she showed her true colours, and I wouldn’t stand for it.It’s time the gloves came off. “Sit,” I told her when we get to the sink, and I carefully made her sit on the cabinet, a defiant expression on her pretty face. She was determined to make things difficult, and I was just as determined not to let her. I wouldn’t let her pretend that we just didn’t fucked her and she enjoyed. Fuck, I could still feel the sensations of her pink lips around my shaft. Taking a breath to steady myself, I turned on the bright ov
“Ralph…” she hoarsely mumbled twisting in his arms. Her bladder was full and she needed to release. But with his tight grip over her small torso, she was afraid if she’d be able to control it. When she didn’t felt him moving an inch, she nervously placed her palm on his cheek and patted ever so gently as if he was a breakable glass. “Ralph?” His light stubble rough yet tingly under her palm. Rara looked at him for a long minute. Always left mesmerised and entrapped by the long lashes and a unusual calmness on his face—something she never imagined seeing. So this monster was capable of looking this gentle under the moon. Unable to tear her eyes away from him, she hungrily licked her lips. Ralph, he was the man who ignited something inside of her that she had never felt before. It was an undisclosed secret, but deep down, she knew she always felt something for him – it was a mixture of fear and something more profound, an undeniable attraction. The kind of forbidden intimacy that left
Rara was startled when she was on a private airline waiting for them. Her breathing scampered when Ralph effortlessly picked her up in his arms. She gasped. “Ralph!” “The ground’s slippery. I’m afraid you might slip and die.” Rara glared at him. The pavement was cemented. There hardly seemed any sign of water. She could perfectly walk on her own. She huffed realising how much of her he could control. His large hands squeezed her tightly through the flowy flowery dress. She could feel his palms pressed under the bareness of her knees, slowly sneakily his fingers teasing the back of her thighs. Rara unconsciously tightened her hold on his neck. “Stop.” Rara's senses heightened as she felt an electric current course through her body, ignited by the points of contact with his. The mere flick of his warm breath against her cheek set her soul ablaze, sparking miniature flames that danced within her.The wide view of fields seemed more bewitching than hearing his slow and deep breathing.
We silently crossed the Seine as the city emerged from the darkness of night. With no traffic, the driver proceeded to drive through the middle of the street, and nearby stood The Eiffel Tower, resembling a metallic skeleton reaching upwards into a sky that was quickly turning blue. Typically, a morning like this would be foggy or at least misty, but contrary to how I felt, it seemed determined to be an idealistic day in Paris, as if it was straight out of a storybook, albeit lacking any shared glances between two people.Ever since the moment we landed in Paris, I noticed a shift in Alexei’s mood. He was more distant submerged in his thoughts I tried not to glance his way cause whenever our eyes met, he was avoiding my gaze. Ralph's hand on my thigh burned like lava as he looked outside. The driver approached a multi-storey hotel.The red neon sign gleamed as the car stopped. Alexei surprised her with many things today. The pills and the little freedom he let me have for some time.
