All Chapters of Forbidden Thirst: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The harsh light of morning flooded the room, illuminating the reality of my situation. With a sense of urgency, I flung the sheet off my body, my heart racing as panic set in. Hastily, I began to gather my scattered belongings, the events of the previous night crashing down on me.As I scanned the empty space beside me, the gravity of what had transpired hit me like a ton of bricks. Not only had I lost my virginity to a stranger, but I had also woken up alone in a private room in the club. Despite the turmoil raging within me, I could not help but acknowledge the beauty of my surroundings.I quickly made my way out of the house, my mind racing as I hailed a cab. Discovering that I was only an hour away from home—my home in New Square, nestled in the heart of New York City, brought a sliver of relief.Thankfully, I managed to slip back into my house undetected, breathing a sigh of relief as I closed the door behind me. Rushing to the bathroom, I sought solace in the familiar ritual of a

First on my list was to get Hunter his dark chocolate mocha from Starbucks each day. It was always pre-ordered, so I just had to pick it up myself.Exiting the elevator, I made sure to knock on the door. Once I got the go-ahead, I went inside with his mocha."Good morning, here you go, sir, your dark chocolate mocha," I said, nodding my head to Hayden to show my acknowledgement."Dark chocolate mocha? I thought you preferred cappuccino?" Hayden curiously questioned his brother."Did I get you the wrong thing? I just..." Before I could finish, I was stopped as he put up a hand in the air, drinking the chocolate mocha."There's no need, Lily," he responded to me."The other day, I had a very tasteful chocolate at my pleasure. From then onwards, I've been craving more ever since. Hence, one of my reasons for the chocolate mocha. It's the best thing I've ever had, and I only want it from now on. Its taste is exquisite. Once you've had a taste, you won't want anything else. That's why I've

"Bye, have a great day," I waved to my church friends, their laughter and chatter fading as they dispersed. With my mother already gone, I stood alone on the sidewalk, waiting for a taxi to whisk me home.A black car with tinted windows caught my attention, a vague sense of unease prickling at the back of my mind. It felt like someone was watching me from within its shadowy interior. Then, Dillon appeared beside me, his attempts to get my attention finally registering through my preoccupied thoughts."What do you want?" I turned to him, irritation lacing my voice."Lily, I'm so sorry, please forgive me. I didn't mean to leave you alone. Stella suggested that we..." Dillon's words trailed off as I cut him off, my frustration boiling over."So all of this is because of Stella? You left me alone, drunk, all by myself with no way of going home, but your girlfriend was so important that you forgot all about me. So why are you here?" My voice was a low whisper, seething with anger and hurt.

I heard a faint beeping sound around me as I slowly attempted to pry my eyes open. A gentle hand was caressing my cheek lovingly, a gesture that reminded me of my mother's comforting touch.When I managed to open my eyes, I found Hunter sitting beside me. Confusion washed over me as I realized I was in my room, with no memory of how I got there."What happened?" I questioned, trying to piece together the events leading up to this moment."You fainted a few hours back," he explained, his expression filled with concern."But why?" I pressed, feeling a sense of unease creeping over me."Your body's vasovagal reflex was triggered," Hunter elaborated. "It causes the heart rate to slow and the blood vessels to widen, or dilate. This reflex can be triggered by many things, including stress. Additionally, you haven't been consuming enough nutrients that your body needs lately.""Why didn't you tell us you weren't feeling well?" he questioned, seemingly angry."I didn't want to seem like a bur

Hunter's PovThe Past...........After months spent submerged in work, devoid of any romantic connection, I reached a breaking point. The urge for a simple, fleeting encounter consumed me, a respite from the weight of past relationship failures.Each attempt to find authenticity amidst the shallow pools of wealth and status left me disillusioned. Victoria's betrayal had been the final blow.Approaching the club's entrance, a jolt reverberated through my chest as I collided with a girl, her possessions scattering to the floor. In her haste to rejoin her friends, she offered a hurried apology, seemingly unaware of my identity.Yet, her gaze lingered, piercing through the layers of my guarded facade. In that moment, I was ensnared. Unlike the superficial beauties of my past, she saw me as just another stranger in the crowd. There was a rawness to her, a genuineness that ignited a flicker of hope within me.She wasn't a polished model, but her curves flowed with an allure that defied conve
