All Chapters of Aria's Choice: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

JORY (cont.) After talking with Knox the next morning, we decide to let Merrick stay home with Aria. I thought maybe it would put him in a better mood, but I made him promise not to try and fuck her without us home, since he hasn’t been himself. He understood and even apologized to me for how roughly he used me last night. Yeah, he got rough, but it wasn’t anything that I couldn’t handle. I just didn’t want him getting like that with our girl. Once we get to the office, I follow Knox into his private office and close the door before taking a seat in front of his desk. He’s already searching his office for possible bugs. Until we know for sure that our security system is as tight as it says it’s supposed to be, this is what we do when we first get in before we discuss anything. We will give it a few days before knowing for sure that we are well protected. Knox nods at me once he’s done going through his office. I bring him up to speed on the intel that we collected on the Mo

MERRICK I think I’m beginning to lose my mind. What happened with Aria tonight is so out of character for me. The fact that her screaming ‘stop’ didn’t faze me, actually scares me a little. I have no place dominating any sub if I cannot stay in the right frame of mind the whole time. I know I was out of my mind with worry when Aria ran, but I should have waited before taking her to the playroom for her punishment. How am I supposed to face her again after what I did? I no longer deserve to be a Dom to her; I no longer deserve her, period. It doesn’t matter what she did, she didn’t deserve to be abused, and that’s exactly what I did. The whip, which is a hard limit of hers and I dismissed it entirely! That is why I am now sitting in a corner all by myself at a dive bar that I’ve never been to. Nobody should be able to find me here, not Jory, and sure the hell not Knox. I fucked up big time, and the moment Knox finds out what I did to our precious girl, he’ll most likely be gunni

MERRICK (cont,) “It started when I was seven years old. My dad passed away shortly after I turned six. My mother went into depression really bad after that. I remember them being so happy together; they were so in love. They had been high school sweethearts.” I smile as I reminisce. Aria remains quiet, as she listens intently, drawing circles on my chest with her finger. If I was a Daddy Dom, I would find it adorable because she looks exactly like what a little would look like while their DD was telling a story. The only thing she isn’t doing is sucking her thumb, but I could give her something else to suck if she really wanted it. Ugh, I’m getting off topic; that’s what happens when Aria is around. “My parent’s had me during their second year of marriage, and from what I was told when I was younger is that I was the apple of their eye.” My smile fades as my mind fast forwards, “My father hadn’t been feeling well, so mom made him go to the doctor, and that’s when they told hi

Both Jory and Knox are in the dining room when we come walking in. Knox does a double take because normally, I'm to be kneeling already to wait for Merrick. Instead, he had caught up to me after my little admission when leaving his room and took hold of my hand, and that’s how we walk into the room. Jory on the other hand glares at his friend beside me, not liking that I’ve already forgiven Merrick. Yes, my back is sore, and he fucked up, but everyone is allowed to make a mistake and he is very remorseful. I will have to talk to Jory a little more later on. I had slept in his room last night, so Knox didn’t find out what had happened, and Jory took very good care of me. A chair scrapes and Jory stands up, “I’m going to head to the office,” He informs Knox and then steps up to me and presses his lips to my forehead, “Call me if you need anything, sweet girl.” I smile up at him, “Thank you for last night, and I will.” His shoulders relax a bit and then he walks out after giving a

JORY Walking in and seeing what my best friend was doing to our girl infuriated me. I couldn’t believe that he was that much out of his mind that he would hurt Aria. I know he will be beating himself up over it because that’s not who he is. I don’t rightfully know why he went off the deep end, but I don’t care to hear it because the fact is that he did, and nothing will change that. I took care of Aria afterwards, soaking her in a bath and then putting antibiotics on the welts that had split open a little. It’s not that it was really bad, I’ve seen him do worse on willing subs, but it’s the fact that I could hear Aria’s cries for him to stop and he hadn’t. As well as him using a whip on her, which is a hard limit. He dismissed all of his training all because something fucked with his head, and I can’t have him dominating our girl if he can’t remain in control. Watching them walk into the dining room hand-in-hand this morning, irked me to no end, I couldn’t stand to be in th
