ANMELDENKINGSTON Doctor Whitmore arrived today, after days of waiting for him, he finally showed. Rowan and I picked him up from the airport this morning, and he refused to rest. He has another flight this evening and two other patients after seeing Aeliana. I had asked Evelyn and Maddox to bring her downs
“I know,” I sigh. I will never doubt Kingston’s love for me again, not when he has proved it time and time again that he does love me. What is yet to be proven is if that love is enough, it doesn’t seem like it right now, not when we both can’t look each other in the eye without one of us breaking.
AELIANA I feel suffocated. Everywhere I turn, Kingston is right there. He is worse than a shadow, at least shadows disappear at some point, but he doesn’t. When he does, he has someone else shadowing me. I haven’t left this room all day. I’ve had to eat, sleep and contemplate right here, more than
“I did too,” she hiccups, fully sobbing now. “I always wanted to be better for you, but you let me get ruined.” I carefully move closer, not wanting to alarm her when I pull her close again. “You are not ruined, you are a fighter, Aeliana,” I tell her, rubbing her back. “You’re strong, and you will
I take Aeliana back to our room and sit her down on the bed. She immediately grabs a pillow and holds it to her chest, staring me up and down. “I’m scared, please take me back,” She whispers. “I don’t want to stay here with any of you.” “Who do you not want here? Say the word, and they’re gone.” “
“I’m sorry, but I was just being there for a friend.” “She is not your friend!” I snap. “Aeliana can’t stand you, Audrey. When will you get that into your thick skull? What is your problem? What obsession do you have with her that you go to such lengths?!” “Nothing, okay?” She swallows, her gaze l
“Fuck me,” she breathes against my lips, her hand guiding mine between her thighs. “I’m so fucking wet, King.” She moans, “I need you to bend me over and fuck me right now.” “Yeah?” I ask, running my hand down her slit. She’s soaked, her body twitches when I brush over her clit. She nods, biting h
“I don’t choose any sides,” I tell her, my words calm, unlike the internal turmoil I’ve been experiencing since our talk the other night. “You’ve convinced yourself that I do, so I never have a chance with you.” “Because you choose Audrey’s side, you—” “How about this? You talk to me,” I offer. “T
Surprisingly, Damien’s club is nothing like I remember it. On the night of his opening, I could barely see the furniture, but right now? It’s all I see. Noah gasps, eyes wandering. “Luxurious,” she swoons. “Welcome to Rivers,” a server approaches us. “My name is Tiger, and I’m at your service,” he
“Noah Fren,” she smoothly counters, flashing me a bright smile. “You’re a stuck-up bitch!” “Stop it,” Kingston orders, eyes flickering between us. “Both of you. There’s no need to fight, why don’t you try getting along? You two are more alike than you think.” Noah gasps, her hand flying to her che
