One gem if you want to see Asphalt soon. Don't worry, His Majesty is waiting to make his royal appearance but likes to make people wait*winks*. He demands it to be grand and enjoys some diamonds thrown at him. Also, did you have any funny sleep habits like Avery? Let me know in the comments below.
I asked in curiosity, "So Asphalt has been there the whole time with me?" Dominic replied with a thoughtful look on his face, "Yes. He likes to sleep with you. There might be other things he does with you…" he drawled and I springed to my feet on the floor. "What?!" Dominic looked at the distance created between us due to me jumping off the bed. He growled, his eyes turning bright red and veins appearing on his face, his canines showing. A chill ran down my spine, but the sense of astonishment at his appearance overwashed it. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back on the bed. Once he had put me down, he pinned my hands against the bed and hovered on top of me. Electricity crackled and spread into my body, down my waist. "Don't try to move away when sleeping. Neither do Asphalt nor I like it. He especially likes to have you close to him," his voice was a little more rough than before and it sounded like not one but two people were talking at the same time. I swallowed the lu
In the morning, Dominic was driving me to the college and I had a thought revolving in my head constantly. I turned at him, and my eyes fell on how the light from the car widow highlighted his high cheekbones. He looked focused ahead as he drove. He looked handsome when he did what he liked. If Asphalt had seen me in the Whitlock mansion years before, it meant he knew he was waiting to mate me for five years?! Five years was a lot of time for someone to lose interest and move on. Yet here he was, driving me to college. It took a lot of dedication to love someone and wait for that long. Was it the right thing for me to make him wait when him waiting for me for this long already proved that he was dedicated? I pursed my lips. "Something on your mind?" Dominic asked, but did not spare a look at me. "I remember something from Halloween. I was wearing a cat costume…actually a kitty costume. Did you give me my nickname from that incident?" I asked, intently staring at him. He smiled a
My eyes fell on the bruises the girl had on her neck and face which she tried to cover up with a layer of foundation. But being a victim of physical abuse, I could catch it easily. My brows furrowed as she pressed her lips, her body trembling a little. She pulled up her glasses on the bridge of her nose and looked down at the floor as if realizing she was guilty.“Can I talk to you…for a second?” she asked, her voice soft like earlier that day.“I have my next class. My attendance would be at risk if I waste my time talking to you right now,” I said, my voice a little harsher than I intended it to be. She literally locked me in a classroom, I had the right to be angry.But the curiosity of what she had to speak of made me decide otherwise and say, “Just two minutes. Then I will leave.”She nodded and then looked around the washroom, checking if we were alone or not. Then she spoke, “I am sorry for what happened last day. It was—”“An accident?” I raised a brow at her. If she thought sh
We walked to the headmistress’s office and took our seats. Once I was settled in, the headmistress looked at me with a nervous look. She made a tent with her fingers on the table and said, “I am sorry for what happened out there a few minutes ago. I—” “Cut to the main point, Madam,” I said, my arms crossed, my breathing labored and my eyes shooting daggers at her. She sighed, a little frown etched on her forehead, “I know what you suffered out there is unforgivable. I did not expect the students to turn out so feral. But you know, I can work on improving everything if you keep this all a secret,” she handed me a small smile and my eyes narrowed. She was scared of me reporting the whole incident to Dom. They all knew well that if the news reached his ears, he would shred this institution to pieces. I did not see any fault in that because I wanted to do the same. Winterville was turning into a hub for violence rather than an institution for building future’s. It was destroying everyon
The drive felt longer than usual since Dominic was not with me. I turned at Sky who was driving the car, while Jannet sat at the back, holding her bag on her lap. Until now, Sky had not spoken a thing and if he tried to annoy Jan, I would be rescue her.“Did Dominic have some pack work?” I asked and Sky remained silent for a few seconds before he responded.“To be honest, he is not in his best self today,” he said with a sigh and a frown settled on my forehead.“What happened?” I sat upright on the seat and waited for Sky to explain. He looked fine this morning.“Today is the date his parents died,” Sky said and my lips parted. Jan heard what he said at the back and she exchanged a look with me.“Oh my…he never spoke about it to me. Is he alright?” I asked in concern, my heart clenching at the thought of Dominic missing his parents.Sky shrugged while he rotated the steering wheel, “It is hard to tell. He looks fine outside, but every time this date comes, he turns sad and kind of iso
I felt terrible. Never did I thought that behind the stone cold face, there was a child who had gone through so much pain. And he survived it all. I couldn’t imagine myself surviving such amount of rejection. He looked back at me, “Let’s head bac—” he stopped when I embraced him in a hug. I was standing on my feet, holding his head close to my chest. My hand caressed his back and I could feel those hard muscles. Focus, Avery! “I am sorry for what happened,” I said, pain etched to my voice. I just couldn’t bring myself to imagine what he could have went through since he did not tell me the full story. Was all his past pain the reason he turned out so twisted? He did not speak, neither he hugged me back. His head just rested on my chest. We stayed like this for a few minutes, before I realized that it was too awkward and I let him go. He looked at me, amusement glinting in his eyes and a subtle hint of smile playing on his lips. I licked my dry lips and tucking my loose hair back on
My lips were swollen red without even wearing lipstick. You ask why? A certain someone kissed me for hours. Yes, hours! And I did not stop him. Because it felt good.I pressed the ice against my lips as they burned a little. He bit me hard, his canines pulling a little blood out of my lower lip. He did make up for it though, by licking it clean.“How’re your lips doing, love?” he asked while he sipped his tea. My eyes fell on his lips. I bit him back too, and he seemed to enjoy it too much. He even said, “I would keep this as your mark of love on my lips,” and his tongue had jutted out, wiping his blood clean. That was sexy, I wouldn’t deny it.A blush crept on my lips, turning my face hot like my lips and I wondered if I should put some ice on my face too. I hissed a little as the ice fell right over the little cut on my lower lip. He stared at me with his dark eyes before he rose from his chair and walked over to me.“Let me,” he forwarded his hand and I gave him the ice pack. He wra
The classes went as usual, boring me to death. Most of the time, I had my pen balancing over my nose while my mind thought about my relation dynamics with Dominic. My hand touched my lip and I could still feel his warm kiss on it.Things have changed. Could I deny my feelings for him anymore? I don’t think so. I gave into the kiss, not to mention, that I was the one who pulled him by his shirt collar.I was lucky since I was his mate. If it had been somebody else, I am sure they would have been ripped to shreds by now. Sighing, I looked over at my notebook, doodles of his name in different styles that were not so calligraphic flashing in front of me.I scrunched my nose. My handwriting was disgusting. I literally ruined his hot name.I also came to notice the fact, that I couldn’t get him out of my head. Time felt like it never passed, and I waited for the classes to end so that I could see him standing against his car in front of the gates. Dang, was this how deep attraction felt?It
