I left and messaged Alaric to let him know. When I got home, I walked into the kitchen. Bex and Ivy looked towards me."You left on our girl's night!" Bex glares at me."Oh, come on. You didn't even notice. I told you this morning." Ivy laughs. "You were that drunk and didn't notice she disappeared.""Fine, I didn't notice, but you left for Jake!" Bex stares at me in disbelief."I did, yes. He apologised, explained what happened, and what changed."They stare at me. "You took him back and stayed." Bex looks at me, shocked."No, we spoke. He left, and I waited to speak to Alaric. I stayed last night with Alaric, not Jake.""So he stopped ignoring you?" Ivy laughs."He had no choice; I was at his when he walked in. However, I did realise that my timing in saying we should take a step back made it look like I had used him for revenge."Ivy laughs. "I told you that. You did it the moment Jake knew. Now, why do you have Alaric's car?"Oh, of course, they would notice. "I was at his busines
Standing, I turn to leave."Hey."I stop and look at Max. "Hi, Max." Moving, I go to step around him, his body moving in the way."So, you and Oliver?"My eyes widen. "No! He's with Ivy." What the hell?"You looked cosy." He leans into me."We were talking; now move." I step around him, his body moving and blocking my path. He pushes the door closed. "Max, move.""Make me Ruby." He stands smirking."Move!" I push past him to get to the door, but his hand grabs me."Oh, come on, Ruby, you used Oliver and Jake's dad for revenge, so why not use me?" He moves to kiss me, my hands pushing him back. As he pulls me closer, the sound of my top ripping makes me panic.He forces his mouth on mine, opening mine; I bite against his lip, hearing him scream. His hand pushes me back before swinging and hitting my face. My head hits off the side, and I groan, watching his body fall forward."Ruby?" Bex looks at me, turning back to Max. "I will cut you open!"I groan when I hear Bex. "Don't; let's jus
We sat eating, and I explained that it was a worker error that caused him to get so many delivered. He seemed shocked that I got the manufacturer to agree to take back four hundred and refund them.I'm guessing he thought I would struggle. Seeing the history of the orders showed that Alaric's business is one of the manufacturer's biggest buyers, so my threatening to go elsewhere made them agree.He has still not spoken about what happened with Max; he's keeping that secret under tight lips. He turned off his phone when we walked in here, which I have a feeling he might regret if anything messes up at the business.I've agreed to stay at his place on the days I won't be studying, it's only for another three months, then I won't be restricted. I'm not now, but apparently, it would be wrong of him to let me skip classes."Jake never said, so what family do you have?" I assume they have family, or is it just Jake and his dad?"My parents are still alive; I also have a brother. He has two
My hands drop and begin unfastening his shirt, as the last button undoes, my hands slide along his chest, and up to his shoulders. Pushing his shirt down and off his body, I move onto his trousers.His hands capture mine, and I sulk until I realise he's lifting my dress from me. He moves until I'm laid below him, and my hands go back to unfastening his trousers. Grasping his cock, I begin to tease him slow.I'm bored of him always having control. Pushing him over, I straddle him and lower myself onto his cock. His hand grips my hip."Ruby."Ignoring him, I move his hand from my hip and begin moving against him. His head shakes and he looks at me unamused. I don't care though. I move faster, and he grips my neck, my hands stroking down my chest as I continue to fuck him.I watch as his control slowly slips away, he pulls me down onto him, kissing me deeply as his hips begin working in unison with mine. His body moves until I'm below him.Gripping my chin he stares at me. "We were meant
AlaricWalking in, I glance around, and Oliver steps ahead of me. "Max, you're needed." I watch as everyone turns and looks towards us, which doesn't help with me figuring out who the hell Max is. It's clear from the whispers they know who I am though, so maybe me getting Ruby to grab Jake that day was a mistake. Waiting, I watch as a guy walks out. He stands looking at us confused. "What the fuck do you want?" He looks at me annoyed. "To talk, if possible?" To start with anyway. He stands confused and people continue to watch. "You hurt Ruby." He laughs and steps closer. "I didn't, she's lying." Other than Oliver, I have yet to meet a single person from around here that Jake spent time with who wasn't an asshole. "The black eye says different." I step closer to him. He shrugs like he's confused. "No idea how that happened, ask her again. Watch her story change, let's be honest, it could have been any one, she goes through men quick, especially the dads." I bite my tongue to
Going through my bag I place the sample contract down."When are we sorting out a contract, you haven't mentioned it, why?""Is that what you want?" He looks at me, waiting. As I go to talk, his hand raises. "To me, we were dating. If you would rather have a contract and make it less serious, then I will agree."Dating?Sighing, he leans closer. "I didn't mention it to you because I didn't want to restrict it to that. I was happy to date you and have more than I normally would. If that isn't what you want, then fine. I will sort out a contract."He has it wrong. "Alaric, I didn't mean a contract that states this is not serious, won't move forward, and is purely about lifestyle. A few times, you have mentioned you won't go any further with me in those rooms until we have this side sorted."I enjoy spending those nights with him in that room, and I don't want it restricted. "I'm not saying we stop dating, and I'm not saying we have a contract like you had with your past submissives with
I must have been sitting here for at least an hour; the contract is on one side of me, and a notebook is in front of me. Alaric is working, so I'm trying to figure out what I want.There's a lot I want, but there's also a lot in the original contract that keeps a relationship locked and unable to progress. I don't want those added.My phone buzzes. Looking at it, I see Bex's name. An SOS message shows on the screen. It's not a SOS. She sends that when she simply can't find a dress or a shoe.Muting it, I slide it away and continue to work on the contract. A few minutes later, I hear the door and turn, smiling. I watch Alaric walk in. His eyes glance to the papers and then back to me."How's it going?" He takes off his jacket and sits down."Good. Did you get the issue fixed?" I'm not sure what it was; he just said he had to go fix something."I did."Nodding at his words, I turn the sheet and begin skim-reading the page."Ahm." I glance at him briefly before going back to the papers.
Ringing wakes me. I reach out for Alaric but he's gone. I fumble around trying to find the source of the noise. I see my phone on the bed and grab it.Hitting answer I hold it against my ear."Good morning baby girl." Morning? I groan slightly and he laughs. "I left about an hour ago, I put your phone on loud to ensure you would wake. You need to get up, eat and drive back to get home in time.""Do I have to? I could just stay in this bed and wait for you to return?" My body moves and gets comfy under the blanket."Yes you have to. Someone will be bringing you food soon, so put some clothes on baby girl. I will speak to you later, please eat." The call ends and I groan.Climbing from the bed I walk to the shower, using it as a way to wake myself up before getting dried and dressed. Just as I am finishing getting dressed theres a knock.Walking to the door a man smiles and hands me a tray before turning and walking away.I guess there is no way to get out of eating. Sitting I eat, and
