Broken Then Desired Chapter 24: Walls coming down
Victor's POVThe door clicked shut behind her. The sound echoed in the sudden silence of my room.I stood frozen in the middle of the space that had always been my sanctuary, my fortress. Now it felt different. The air was different. It still carried her scent , that fresh, flower, like smell that was entirely her own. My hands wouldn't stop trembling. I stared at them, these hands that had just held her, touched her, and I curled them into tight fists until my knuckles turned white.What in God's name had I just done?My body remembered everything. The memory of her body pressed against mine was burned into my skin. So small, so warm, so alive beneath my hands. My lips still tingled with the taste of her , young, sweet, intoxicating. She hadn't just allowed the kiss; she had met it with a fire that shocked me, that called to something deep and dangerous within me.She was supposed to be just a girl. The broken thing I'd fished out of the river. I gave her a name, a purpose, a roof ov
Broken Then Desired Chapter 23: To be broken
Scarlett's pov I stood there for a long time, just breathing. My mind was full of his face. His dark eyes looking at me. His deep voice saying my name. The way his body felt against mine. So hard and so strong. I had never felt like this before. It was scary but it was good. The sound of my own heart was so loud in my ears. It was like a drum. I almost did not hear the quiet footsteps coming down the hall. I quickly looked up. I pulled my hand away from my mouth. It was Jaxon. He stood at the end of the hallway. He was not moving. He was just staring at me. His eyes, which are usually hard to read, were wide open. He was looking at my face. Then he looked at the door behind me. Then he looked back at my face. He saw everything. He saw my red cheeks. He saw my kissed lips. He saw the crazy, happy look in my eyes that I could not hide. I felt my breath stop. "Jaxon–" I started to say. But he did not let me finish. His face changed. It became dark and angry. He did not say one word
Broken Then Desired Chapter 22: Not guilty
I pushed the door open slowly. Victor’s room was dim, lit only by the soft glow of the evening sun filtering through the heavy curtains. He stood by the window, his back to me, the lines of his shoulders tense even in the low light. “You wanted to see me?” I said, my voice quieter than I intended. He turned, his eyes dark and unreadable. “Close the door.” I did, the click of the latch sounding final in the quiet room. He didn’t move from his spot, just watched me, his gaze a physical weight. “The school called,” he stated, his voice low. “I figured they would.” “They told me you were suspended. That you assaulted another student.” “She deserved it,” I said, lifting my chin. I wouldn’t apologize. A slow, almost imperceptible smile touched his lips. It wasn’t a friendly look. It was predatory. “I know. I had the entire incident investigated. The girl is a bully. Her family is… insignificant.” He took a step toward me. Then another. The space between us, which had felt so large,
Broken Then Desired Chapter 21: Suspension
Scarlett's POVI went straight to my room after everything that happened. I won't lie—I felt good. Not the type of good that makes you laugh, but the kind that makes you breathe easy, like a heavy load just left your chest. Everyone had pissed me off today, and then there was Victor. The thought of him made my heart skip a beat.Later that evening, there was a knock on my door. Before I could answer, Jaxon walked in. His face looked tight, and the way his jaw moved, I knew something was wrong.“You went into his room, didn’t you?” he asked sharply.I sat up, confused. “Yes, I did. Why?”He folded his arms and stared at me like he couldn’t believe what he just heard. "You went in there without his permission.”“So?” I frowned. “I just went to have a conversation with him, and I already told you I was going to. What’s the big deal?”He ran his hand through his hair, breathing hard. “Nobody goes into his room, Scarlett. Nobody!”I blinked, trying to understand why he was so mad. “It’s ju
Broken Then Desired Chapter 20: Not safe
Scarlett's POVI walked into the big house. My hands hurt from hitting Kelsey. Jaxon stood near the door. He watched me come in."I saw the video," he said. "You really hurt that girl, scratch that you beat the hell out of her, damn."I shrugged. "She asked for it. She deserved it. I don't care I haven't even gotten started yet.""Victor will hear about this," Jaxon warned me."Good, that's exactly what I need." I said sarcastically. "Where is he?""Still busy," Jaxon said. He moved to block my way. "Why do you keep looking for him? You should mind your own business."I tried to push past him. "Since when do you tell me what to do?""Since now," he said. His voice was tight. "Stop looking for him. It's not safe.""You think I don't know that,." I said. " you think I should actually give a fuck whether it's safe or not anymore."Jaxon looked away. "He's not himself when he's like this. When he thinks about her.""Her?" I asked. "You mean his dead wife?"Jaxon's eyes got wide. "Yes his
Broken Then Desired Chapter 19: Every punch
Scarlett's POVThe next morning, I got ready for school. My mind kept going back to Victor. The memory of his hands on my throat. The mark was gone from my skin, but the feeling stayed. I was so angry. So angry at him for using me. For making me wear his dead wife's name. For treating me like his toy.I went downstairs. Jaxon was waiting."Where is Victor?" I asked."He is busy," Jaxon said. He did not look at me."He is not busy. He is avoiding me," I said.Jaxon just opened the car door. "Get in, the driver will drop you off.”At school, I saw Ayden waiting by the gate. He smiled when he saw me."Scarlett! Good morning," he said.I tried to walk past him. "I don't have time, Ayden.""I talked to my father," he said, walking beside me. "He is very interested in you. He wants to meet you properly. I can arrange it.""I don't want to meet your father," I said. "I don't like your family."Ayden laughed. "Why? Because my father told you about Victor's wife?"I stopped walking and turned
