ARABELLA. "Hi. " Alex mutters as I unwrap my arms and take a step back and I smile at him. "Hey. " "Are you okay?" He asks and I hum. "I just needed that. " "Enough?" He inquires and when I raise a brow in confusion, he motions to me and says, "Feeling better?" "I am now. " I reply and he surprises me by lifting his hand to my face. I remain still, keeping myself from doing the same to him as he brushes my hair from my face and strokes my cheek with his thumb. He does that for some seconds without saying a word, and as if just registering what he's doing; he suddenly removes his hand. "What's–" "Can we talk later? I need to get back to something. " He interrupts me before I can speak. "Right now?" I question and he nods. "Right now. " "Oh. I thought you were going to stay for a few minutes. " I say in a small voice and a smile tugs at the corner of his lips as his eyes move down my body. When he moves them back up, he says, "You brought extra?" My cheeks redden at my immedi

ARABELLA. "Ready?" Ashley asks me the second I step inside the living room and I throw her a warm smile. "I am. " She gives one glance down my body and meets my eyes. "Is Dex taking you?" "Yes. " I mutter, lifting my phone to send a quick text to the said guy. Dropping the mobile from my view, I look back at Ashley. "Why are you here? Isn't it a date out tonight?" Her face breaks into a smile as she responds. "It is. But I'm waiting until the last minute before I change. I have a surprise for him. " "And I'm not bothered. " I joke and she laughs. "You look pretty by the way. Peter's eyes will be glued to you. " She compliments as I move from my spot to take the couch across from her and I put on a small smile. "Thank you. " She hums and silence settles between us as she returns her eyes to the laptop on her lap. I sigh and bring up my phone again; my eyes move over Dex's name before I scroll to his and after two seconds of contemplating, I click on his contact. ME: Hey. Busy?

ARABELLA. He removes his lips from mine, giving me time to breathe as his fingers caress my face, his thumb moving over my already swollen lips, ones that need his to be back there. "Are you okay?" He asks in a whisper and I hum, lifting my hands to cover his. I avert my gaze as I rub my fingers over his knuckles. "The skin is red. That must hurt?" I say when I look back at him. "You don't have to worry about it. " He mutters, removing his hands from my face and letting them fall to his side. I frown and lift his right hand to my view again. "No, I do. I want to. You're hurting, Alex. We should–" He snatches the hand from me, brushing his knuckles against the front of his shirt. "I'm fine. It's just a little blood. " "Alex–" "Shh. " He presses a finger to my lips and I stare at the contact through my lashes, not missing the way my heart skipped a beat. "Don't say a word about it. " He orders in that calm voice of his and I meet his eyes, following the trail of his tongue acr

ARABELLA. "There you are. I left a message. " I say to Dex when we meet halfway through and he rubs his eyes. "Sorry. I didn't check my phone. ""Are you okay?" I ask when I take notice of his scowl and he hums. "I am. ""Are you sure? Did something happen? You couldn't find Veronica?""Oh, I did. " He murmurs, dropping his hand from his face. "Just not in the state I expected. ""Is she okay? Where's she?""She left. With Sam. " He reveals with an irritating edge to his voice and I chuckle. "You don't like that?""No, that's not what–" Dex pauses when his eyes move behind me and I turn on my heels to see Alexander standing behind, only feet away with his hands tucked into his pockets and his eyes on me. "You were with him?" Dex's question returns my attention to him and I nod. "I was. I—""Wait. What the fuck is that?" He interrupts my words, his finger pointed straight at my neck and I wrap a hand around it, a finger trailing over the skin, knowing he's asking about the red skin f

ARABELLA. He shifts his chair to the back and stands then he stretches his hands out for me and I take them, letting him pull me out of my seat. He drags me to the front of the class and I gasp when he drops me on the teacher's desk, squatting in front of me. "Alex, I..." I start to say, eyes moving to the door and he says. "It's locked. " I return my eyes to him, and he spreads my legs, shifting closer. "Alex, Oh..." My next words turn into moans when he lifts my skirt and presses his thumb to the front of my panties, feeling my wetness through the thin material. "So wet and so ready. " He mumbles before his hand goes around me and brings me to the end of the desk. I arch my back, gripping onto the other side as I feel Alex shifts my panties, his finger now moving across my bare pussy. "Alex. " I whine, moving back to check him between my thighs and he throws me a tiny smirk as he meets his eyes. "Hold on, baby and try not to scream too loud. " That sudden pet name is enough to

ARABELLA.“Hey!” Ashley jumps at the sound of my loud voice and I let out a small giggle as she turns back with a frown and a hand over her chest. “Ara, Jeez. You scared me. “ She mutters as she drops her hand from her chest and I move around the kitchen island to get to where she stands.“Sorry. I just thought I might surprise you. “ I say with a smile and she shakes her head before reaching her left hand to me for a half hug. “Naughty. “ She whispers as she pulls away from the hug and I chuckle before I look behind her to the ingredients on the counter. Nodding my head towards it, I say, “Do you need my help with that?”Ashley looks behind her, then back at me, and with a tilt of her head, she says, “I would say yes, but something tells me you’re not here to help me with that, baby. “I let out a nervous laugh and rub my palms against each other as I press my back to the edge of the island. “Am I that obvious?”“Not exactly, but I know you better than that. You need something. What’s

DEX. “I told you not to get this one. “ Maddy snaps as we leave the shop and I don’t give her a reaction. We take the path that leads to home and there’s peace in the air and silence between us when I suddenly catch a glimpse of a familiar image. I stop in my tracks and it’s truly Veronica. I look at the label of the shop then take my gaze back to her. What is she doing in a bar shop?“Are you coming?” Maddy calls out to me. “Keep walking. I’ll catch up with you. Need to check something. “ I don’t let her say anything else before I walk into the shop. I clear my throat and smooth my hands down my shirt before I approach the most beautiful girl in the world. “Hey, you. Fancy meeting you here. “ I chuckle as I grab the seat next to her and she jumps slightly. In shock? Surprise? “What are you doing here?”“That’s what I should be asking you. “ I lift a brow and she doesn’t give me an answer before she turns away. There she goes again ignoring me. “You have a habit of ignoring yo

ARABELLA.I can’t get rid of the smile on my face as I stare at Alexander. He lies on the bed with his face to the ceiling while I lie with my body to the side just so I can get this good view of him.“You know I can feel you staring, right? “ He suddenly opens his eyes and I let out a low gasp as I instinctively move back, taking too much of the blanket we’re both sharing.“I wasn’t staring. “ I move to lie on my back and he chuckles. “If you say so. “There’s silence between us and the only sound I can hear is that of my hard breathing. It’s been minutes since we finished and I asked Alex if I could stay here for some time. I didn’t expect him to let me; even more, lie with me.Whatever has happened between us feels more intimate than anything we’ve ever had. Maybe I’m saying this because I haven’t had it with him yet, but it feels even more intimate than having sex.Does he feel that way, though? I doubt it.When I turn back to look at Alexander, his eyes are still on the ceiling;
