CRYSTAL POV“ABSOLUTELY NOT. I AM NOT GOING TO THAT.”The words left my mouth just in time as I tore off from the couch, then gawked at the man dominating my living room. I gave him one look and started pacing, my palm against my forehead as I replayed his words over and over again in my mind, causing them to make a long haunting echo that went on forever. “I just...” There was just so much to say, but all the words were stuck in my throat and I didn't have a way to say all of them or a possible alternative to express the turmoil I had inside. I was just… it was crazy. Everything about all of this...Him, his crazy-assed bitch of a wife, the entanglement we had going... It was crazy. And now this? It was so last minute and he didn’t even give me time to think it through. He just….No.“I can’t move in with you,” I said abruptly, but deadpan and as sure as fuck. Not only was it painfully early and too sudden, but I… Gosh, he was my professor for crying out loud. Which student in thei
CRYSTAL POV“BURKIE…” my voice rattled around the entire house as I called out to my brother for the 10 hundred thousandth time, with him not dignifying me with any response. A whole week went by after Duncan's grand offer which I took my time digesting. And thankfully, there was no sign of Felicia or anything related to her. As for Duncan, I only got to see him at school and we would exchange a few texts here and there. In the evenings he would call for not more than 5 minutes just to see if I was okay. I don’t know if that’s how Doms behaved with their Subs, but something told me that my relationship with him wasn’t just all that. It had so many strings attached and I was afraid that soon, I would find myself in a pit of emotions and things we all didn’t bargain for.At work, I had to tell Stanimal to give me some time off since I had so much on my plate. A whole week off, and he agreed. Whatever it was that Duncan fed him, I had to know it because wow, it fuckin' tamed the beasts.
DUNCAN POVIt was after 10 pm when I padded to my bedroom barefooted, after putting the kids to sleep. The little energy balls were so handful, but after wrestling with them for quite some time, sleep finally claimed their souls and I was able to leave their bedrooms. I was happy. Matter of fact, ecstatic is the word for it.My evenings were no longer filled with the depressing thoughts of fighting like lions with one person I was supposed to laugh with. They were so buoyant, so full of life that I even forgot that at some point in life, I was just a miserable piece of crap looking for every excuse to stay out late and creep into the house in the middle of the night while everybody was out. I never knew thought, not even in my wildest dreams did it strike to me that I would one day be officially happy cohabiting with my Submissive who was slowly wounding her way beneath my hard exterior. But whatever it was, I was the happiest man alive.Opening the door of our bedroom, my eyes lan
DUNCAN POV“Bye Uncle-Daddy,” the little human squealed with delight charging to where I stood, and wrapping her arms around my legs before looking up at me. I abandoned the load I had in my hands onto the table, before squatting to her stumpy height and hugging her tightly,“Bye, Rose-Petals.” I groaned into her neck, wrenching a small giggle from her. Upon pulling off her clutches, ruffled her thick curls before tilting my head to the side, earning myself a big clumsy kiss on my cheek. Rosie let out yet another excited shriek before running off towards the elevator and standing next to the driver.“Bye Uncle-Daddy.” Aurora came repeating her sister’s movements, throwing herself at me before kissing my cheek just as clumsily. I found myself knocked down to the floor on my ass, her small arms wrapped tightly around my neck,“Bye Pumpkin.” I booped her nose and watched as she took off after Rose and stood next to her. John, their newly appointed chauffeur took both of their small hands
DUNCAN POVAlmost before I could fully settle in my office chair, my office telephone line rang from the right side of my desk, whisking all my attention to it. With a puff of breath, I picked up the telephone before punching the receive button on it,“Professor Duncan.” I was abrupt with my response, then waited to hear the other end of the line. What came next was shallow breathing, as if the caller was on a small pause after running a very long marathon.“Hello?” I called out once again, deep furrows forming on my forehead. Again, nothing! Just shallow breath and wheezes into my speaker. I removed the phone from my ear and stared at it for a heartbeat, then placed it on my ear again. “Who’s this?” By now, I was highly concerned. However, I didn’t even get to know what the hell was going on because the call was cut. People with no purpose in life always found ways to destroy ours. I slammed the phone back into its cradle before flipping my laptop open and powering it. My thoughts
CRYSTAL POVThe hallways were buzzing with students who just finished their papers when I exited the exam hall. Everyone was so buoyant about the paper we had written and honestly, I was feeling just as turbocharged. Just 3 more exams to go and I would be out of this dang place and ready to start my life.Not that there was anything to start; I mean, I had everything now didn’t I?But… I could speak to Duncan about his law firm in Houston and then we can…Get a grip, Crystal.“Crys!!!” Anna’s voice called out a good distance from my behind, making my small calculated, and unhurried movements to halt as I turned to look in the direction where her voice came from. It wasn’t so hard to spot her amidst the throng, because there she was. The only beautiful girl in the entire building who had men swooning all over her existence; but didn’t dare to approach her because Polyanne was just…Sigh… Let's not get into that.Her silky blond hair bounced on her shoulders as she came running to where
DUNCAN POVSociopaths are real, evil, and unscrupulous. And I am an idiot who thought that there might be a little bit of goodness in them.That’s how I summed up my situation with a burning itch of resignation. Seated in the doctor’s office, drowning in the bottomless sea of my own thoughts as I waited for students to just disperse the fuck off so I could get a chance to see Crystal, I knew I was an inch before injuring someone.One thing about Felicia was that she had to keep pushing. No matter how hard you scream at her to stop, she just had to continue pushing, until you snapped into millions of shards of recklessness and bypassed all rationality; doing something that will have regret staring in your face for the rest of your days.That was her. All of her.The door tore open and in came the doctor- whatever his name was. He stood frozen against the door when he saw me on my feet, pacing in a very unhurried pace in his office,“Is she awake?” That was the first thing that came tu
CRYSTAL POV About solid 4 hours and big fluid drums later, urban development blurred past the window as we whooshed down the city of Dallas. The loud noise of traffic, tires squealing and sirens filled the outside air, muffled by the small comfortable cubicle of European metal. For some weird reason, Domenico’s car wasn’t as complacent as Duncan’s. Maybe I was just too busy fangirling over zaddy that I was forgetting the real world outside of the little fantasy he had built for me, but really… I didn’t get the zinging ache that always bubbles within my veins when I was in his car. The interior smelled like burned leather and rainforest, not sandalwood, human skin, a faint stench of his cologne, and HIM. And those three were my favorite scents. And by human skin, I mean his skin. The speakers drummed softly as Harry Styles spilled out, covering the whole interior. Different from Duncan’s car which was always filled with blissful silence; the kind that had your mind wandering plac
Epilogue CRYSTAL POVThe sun streamed with a beaming fountain through the windows of the hotel’s room which was transformed into a bridal suite. Tiny particles of dust danced in the air like a flicker of gold, moving with rhythm as though they were telling me something.A promise of a better tomorrow. Although my body ached from every inch of it, I had a permanent smile on my face that the ache in my cheeks was now dull. Everything else didn’t seem to matter, not the swirl of nausea in the pit of my stomach, or my bulging belly that restricted every move. My body was sore, my ankles the size of drums, and I looked like I had swallowed a giant balloon before expanding to its size. I was at 10 months and still going through and hot. I swear Duncan’s baby had no intentions of leaving my belly. I swayed in my position as the stylist continued straightening my curls into a straight bob that would fit perfectly with my headgear.“Is everything okay?” Her eyes found mine in the reflectio
~TWO WEEKS LATER~CRYSTAL POV My stomach dropped on the descent. I was once again brought back to the land of the living as the airplane pierced through the clouds and battled gravity, it’s wings spread outward as it soared through the dense night air. My ears popped with a slight bubble before I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, the cold feel of the band around my finger a warm memory that settled like fog n my chest. Everything seemed to take a small halt as the realization settled with warmness inside of me. I was reminded of my situation and how much it meant the greatest change to me. To my life.“Hey, mama. How are you feeling?” Duncan’s nose was cold against my cheek as he rubbed it gently, his hand tightening mine in a firm grip. Note how he stopped calling me any other name. Unless we were in bed with me screaming my lungs out while he pummeled into me, or when we were in our dungeon with him terrorizing me in all special and tantalizing ways, he never called me anything ex
CRYSTAL POV WIFE.The eyes excited three tones in my brain before it finally clicked into place. I jumped off the bed before staring at the silver band around my finger, my body buzzing with entirely different things. It wasn’t the remnants of the heavy orgasm I just had, it was not the realization that we were displayed front and center of the giant screen hanging above the stage for everyone to see. Heck, it wasn’t even the fact that Duncan just delivered all my wishes and fucked me till my voice grew hoarse. It was the fuckin’ band around my finger. He may have hinted it a few more times that he did want to wife me, but I didn’t expect it to be this soon. “Duncan?” I murmured, feeling something being in my chest the more I stared at the band around my finger. A movement caught my attention, and I finally peeled my gaze off my finger and stared at Duncan who was fixing his leather pants on his waist before scooting closer to the edge of the bed, his feet touching the ground a
NOTE FROM RAREonce again guys, I am having problems with the network so I am uploaded an unfinished chapter. I will try to see if I can proof-read it here and re upload it again. Now this one has a lot of errors since I just typed it and uploaded without checking it.. bear with me for some time please.Love…~~~DUNCAN POV There was no place in the world I would rather be in than the dungeon. Especially on January 1st. Like always, I fit into this place like the last piece of a puzzle. The red shade of sin covering the walls, the unmistakable stench of sex in the air and the screams of subs… it was such a therapeutic thing. I was a Dom, I was born a Dom and I hated myself for have been denying that part of me to rule me for years, while chaining myself down to something I was not cut out for. Yes, romance was part of any healthy relationship. It came naturally to me without the need of forcing it. But that didn’t mean I was anything vanilla. I found about that side of me when
CRYSTAL POV “Cleopatra, aishtaqt lak ya tifl” “What is she saying?” I mouthed to Duncan before he started to walk away, holding the phone from me so Nerfetari would not have a meltdown. The woman was the epitome of chaos, and as much as I loved her son, she really scared me. Duncan’s shoulders shook graciously with silent laughter.“She misses you. She calls you 'child'.” He then stole a small kiss on my forehead and walked back to his desk. I watched him as he dropped graciously into his chair before focusing on the computer in front of him. He plugged a small earpiece into his ear and started barking orders to the other person at the end of the line. If I could get paid to watch Duncan work, then I would have all I ever wanted. Even if it was just a penny. “Hey, Nerfe. It’s good to hear your voice.” I focused my attention on the small device and whom I had to address as the mother of my boyfriend. Some unknown language slurred in the background before she turned her focus to me
CRYSTAL POV I was mad.Don’t know if it were the hormones in action, but I was mad that he left me alone to tug the kids into bed. It was super irrational of me, but I still couldn’t fight the buzz that chaffed steadily in my veins at the idea of him out there. Who knows how many women looked at him? “Come here.” He said as he stepped under the steamy rain pouring from the big shower area. I stood my ground, a good foot from where he was, and shook my head, my arms folded on my chest to show my utmost defiance. I wouldn’t touch him until he cleaned up. And he wasn’t going to touch me either. “Crystal?” He made it sound like a question, but damn him for always being heady on my senses that even the hormones shied away in an instant. But then again, I don’t think there would be any woman in this world who would ignore that command. The impulse to listen and obey made me want to burst into ugly tears. It was maddening.My feet started moving against my will, and before I knew it,
DUNCAN POVWhiskey settled like a memory of warmth in my stomach as I sat on the barstool, sandwiched between my two friends. The atmosphere was serene, reflecting everything that was cruising at a slow pace inside of me. My breathing was calm, the beating of my heart easy and unhurried. The air was laced with a hard whiff of liquor and was pleasant on my senses and my lungs.Add a melody of soft jazz playing in the background and the chatter of the people sitting not far from us.It was so calm, like the quiet before the storm.Except, there was no storm lurking in the distance. It was almost unreal.Apollo had been on a business trip across the country but when he heard that I was going to have a baby, the man dropped everything and came spilling here like diarrhea.I guess I should have explained that the baby wasn't due for the next 5 or 6 months.But still, I was glad I was able to have him ease down even a little bit. We were still cruising through the holidays and there he was
CRYSTAL POVChristmas with Duncan was phenomenal. Even 'phenomenal' didn't begin to describe it. I have searched my soul and every nook and crook of my being for the perfect word to describe it, but I came out with none. I remember watching him and settling with my heart and soul that this man; he was the one I would die with. There was nobody else in this world other than him. Duncan was the real epitome of a family guy, and gratitude was all I felt the entire time I watched him playing with my siblings and his daughter, knowing well that that man was mine. I really must have been in the great books in my past to meet someone like him in this life.Even now, with my hand nuzzled in his as we maneuvered through traffic, nerves wreaking havoc in my chest, I gravitated to the peace and quiet I found in his hold. My nerve endings sparked like rain on a live wire, uneasiness soaring into my system at a frantic speed that caused a slight buzz. My stomach failed to catch up with me as
DUNCAN POVThe rise of the Christmas sun started with a crisp.I woke before dawn broke and started doing what normal ‘dads’ would do on Christmas morning; lavish the Christmas tree with presents and have the elf saving Christmas from the hands of the Grinch. Although Burkie told me flat and square that those things didn’t exist, and that they were for kids; I still had to do them for the sake of his siblings. Little darlings were convinced that he was lying and that all fairy tales are real. Who was I to burst their little bubble?Burkie on the other hand was a totally different case.He was such a genius and a brilliant chunk of energy, and he was so clever for his energy. He always managed to surprise Crystal and I every single day. I knew I made a good choice taking him to Cambridge. There was no telling what that little mind was capable of, but I knew it was something great. Who knows, maybe we were nurturing Albert Einstein.However, his little big brains didn't go hand in h
