LOGINSALEM'S POVThe second Atlas walked in; it was like the temperature in the room had dropped by a thousand degrees.His eyes were like a blazing furnace, ready to burn down everything in his path.The entire place was silent.In this moment, time had completely come to a standstill and even something as small as breathing felt like it would make him explode.He let those angry eyes go through each and every person present before settling heavily on Marylyn.“I asked you a question!” Marylyn was visibly shaking.Her friends that jade so much to say earlier had all taken a step back, leaving her alone to face him.She forced a shaky smile “Um… Atlas, why are you here?”He walked past her like she was nothing more than a pesky fly on the wall, scratch that, she could have as well been invisible to him. He did not stop until he was right in front of me, and then he cupped my face.“Are you alright Angel?” He said the words so quietly so only me could hear it, “Are you hurt?”He worriedly
SALEM’S POV“Excuse me?”There was this sudden anger that came over me that made me so unreasonable all of a sudden. My face was still hard as I stared her down, not minding that now I was probably looking like a raging lunatic.“Atlas sent that as a gift for me, not you.”“…”The entire place was silent for a little more than a minute before everyone burst out laughing.“Fuck, Brokie Sally I did not know that you were fucking delusional as well” Tasha said loudly and the laughter only seemed to get louder.I did not back down though.The way I felt was strange. I could try my best to ignore the jabs they threw my way, and console myself with the fact that I know who I was anyways… their opinions did not matter.But here I was, drawing the line at claiming Atlas gift to me as hers.I would like to blame a large percentage of my actions on the alcohol, but I wasn’t sure… I was tipsy, not completely wasted. Rejoice stepped forward “Salem drove here in Atlas car; do you not think that
SALEM’S POVThe murmurs began to spread all over the hall.And I wanted nothing more than to just fucking disappear. I should have known that coming here with Atlas car was bound to raise some concerns, and now I was regretting even coming here in the first place.My plan was to fade away into the spotlight and hope that we could possibly just move past this matter, but it seemed like Rejoice had other plans. She folded her arms and moved forward with a schandenfreude smile on her face.“Well, well Salem is the one with the boss’s car you know” she said with a shrug “I mean it is only natural to have such privileges as his-”“Rejoice!”Even though I managed to cut her off, she still seemed unfazed by my glare.Marylyn looked like she was losing her mind, her face was as red as an overripe tomato.And her eyes looked like they were about to bulge out from their sockets. She walked over to us like she was a character in freaking trolls or something, and if the situation was not as ten
SALEM'S POV“I really wish that I could come with you angel, but I have something to attend to with work.”My face heated instantly.I still couldn't get over the fact that Atlas said he wanted to start flirting with me, for real this time.Sure, I was the one that agreed to try give this dating thing a real shot, but still…I was just not used to this version of Atlas. I liked it, so that there are no misconceptions there, it was just… shocking. He pinched my chin between his thumb and index finger and raised my face until we locked eyes. “Don't worry, I will send you with the driver and then I will send a gift there in your name.”“You don't have to-”“I want to.” And I just knew that was the end of this conversation, once Atlas had made his mind up on something, he would remain steadfast about it, and I had come to discover that it was much easier to let him be.I nodded once “okay, thank you.” The smile that settled on his lips was enough to take my breath away.He absentminde
SALEM'S POV“Wait, seriously?”Rejoice asked a little too loudly and I almost regretted telling her in the first place.“Shhhhh” Kelly hissed from behind us “some of us are actually trying to work here.”“Sorry-”Rejoice raised a finger to stop me “give me a second” She said before turning to Kelly “don't you ever get tired, huh?”“Well-” before Kelly could even get a word out Rejoice shook her head “I did not ask for your opinion doll, I was just telling you to shut the fuck up.”Kelly just hissed before going back to work.“That was so rude Re” I whisper yelled.She rolled her eyes “Oh please, Kelly is a silly back biting witch. She does not deserve my niceness.”I shook my head “You are really something else.”“Anyways, continue what you were saying.”“So, Atlas asked if we could try dating for real after our date, and I said yes.”“Was it a good date though?” She asked, wiggling her eyebrow at me.My face turned beet red and I avoided her gaze “it was good.”“Alright, keep on gate
ATLAS POVKissing Salem felt like a dream.She tasted sweet from all that candy that had been eating earlier, but then there was a hint of something else in it, something purely Salem.I was drunk on it.She was an aphrodisiac and I was gladly going to get hooked on her for life.My hands found her waist, pulling her closer until there was no space between us, not even a whisper of air. She moaned into my mouth, her fingers tangling in my hair as I deepened the kiss, my tongue exploring every inch of her mouth like I was memorizing it.Her hips rolled against me, the friction of our clothes driving me wild. I could feel her heat, the way her pussy ached for me even through the layers of denim and cotton. I slipped my hand between us, my palm pressing against the crotch of her jeans, feeling the wetness that told me she was just as desperate as I was.“Fuck, Salem,” I growled against her lips, my fingers working at the button of her jeans. “I’m trying to be a gentleman here” I damn nea
