All Chapters of The White Crescents: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I got up earlier than usual. It was still 4 a.m. It was the disturbing sensation in my legs, the constant worry and pestering of my mind, the exasperation of my soul. I was unable to get some nice sleep.  It was Jacob Campbell.  Like some cranky teenage boy with an ego the size of a football pitch and anger issues reaching the skyline, I wanted to throw and break anything that my eyes settled on. Frustrated, I jumped out of my bed and closed my eyes, trying to contain the outburst that was threatening to leave any second now. Deep breaths. In and out. In. And. Out.        Christophe knows better than to screw with me. What have I ever done to that bastard that he keeps on vexing my nerves?  My eyes opened and brows dr

Deep heavy panting woke me up from my comforting sleep. I struggled to open my eyes but when I finally did, I saw Asher taking out push-ups on the floor. Dazed, I continued staring at him. I can wake up to this every morning!  His biceps relaxed and contracted as he bent down. The muscles of his back bulged out and his leg muscle cuts popped as applied pressure on them. I gulped. He stood up and released a heavy breath. Picking up a bottle from his desk he poured water from it inside his mouth without touching his lips. His neck stretched up and his Adams Apple bobbed up and down as he gulped the water. As if I wasn’t already so mesmerized, his ideal jawline made me even more so.  Grey wistful eyes made contact with mine. “Morning,” “Good morning,” I said

Thump! A sting rushed through my fist as I punched the thick bark of the tree in front of me. Stubborn trees like Aurelia, didn’t even affect it! I kissed her because of that bastard to make a point. That is not how and why I wanted to give her a kiss from me. But it felt good. She moaned. A smirk appeared on my face. And I didn’t do even a tiny portion of what I can do to her. The things I want to do to her. It was a small kiss. I didn’t realize I was laughing. She’s pretty easy to please.  My little babe!  Axel was a little surprised when I made the move but I pulled back just the right second because he was going to get out of control. And her moan just encouraged him. Hell, it even encouraged me.

Everything around me went quiet and still almost as if time stopped. No more swishing of the leaves or the wind. Even the birds stopped chirping and the squeaking sound of the squirrels coming before were now nowhere to be heard. Not a single sound was made! Gulping, I tried to keep my stance firm. All types of scenarios hit me all at once. He can kill me right here and now and I wouldn’t even see it coming. As if hearing my thoughts, he reassured me, “Don’t worry darling, I’m not here to kill you,”   With a blink of an eye, from standing ten feet apart he was now just two feet away. I flinched back and goosebumps ran all over my body.  “What do you want?” I managed to ask.  “Let’s just say I missed you,” he gave me a smile but I was terrified out

Taking the stairs, I hopped down wearing a dark blue hoodie over dark blue jeans which hugged my thighs and legs along with white thick sole joggers.  Five days went by with Asher and I not talking to each other. It was either a small nod or a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ and at the most, not more than five words, literally. Things were getting depressingly tedious for me. My routine was the same as always. Breakfasts were in the room or in the kitchen with Maya, sometimes alone; I was not a fan of lunches that leave dinner. Dinner was downstairs in the dining room, the huge room with just a table and its chairs.  It had twenty seats in total. Asher always sat in the front single chair and mine was on his right hand side. Cole was beside me and Gray on his left. Sabine was beside Cole and then followed Maya whereas Felicia was beside Gray. That was how we were u
