His face inched closer to my face, his head angled and his lips descending on mine. Was this really happening? Or was I dreaming?He was going to kiss me!I wanted to say something, but my lips felt tight and he was too close, his warm breath falling on the bridge of my nose. I squinted my eyes closed in preparation for what was coming.A few seconds passed and nothing was touching my lips. Huh?There was a light chuckle and I opened my eyes to find Dominic staring down at me with a grin. I frowned and watched him crawl back and stand straight on the edge of the bed, his hands tucked in his trouser pant pocket.I stood upright, my small locks of hair jutting out of my bun. Was he playing with me? The thought made my nerve pop but it was better to stay quiet.His gaze held a playful charm in it and his lips moved, “You are not that good at acting, but I will give you the props for trying.” he winked and my breath hitched.He knew that I was pretending. Shit!I pursed my lips and looked
He smirked, “We start tomorrow.”I raised a brow in doubt, “Don’t you have work to do tomorrow morning?”He raised his hand making me slightly flinch and his rough finger trailed down the line of my jaw. My body trembled under his touch when he said, “You have all my time, Avery.” it was a soft, seductive whisper that made me blush.Great, now I was blushing. What would be next? Sitting on his lap?I was disappointed with how my body reacted when he came close. Dominic definitely took advantage of it.||||||||||||||||I was in a forest. It looked vaguely familiar but I couldn’t recollect where I had seen it. It was the time of night, the tree foliage obstructing the moonlight to fall on the lap of the earth. Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the back and I snapped my head to find the branch of a nearby tree jerking.I took a few steps back, my heart pulsating in my ears. And just then, a creature wrapped in a blanket of pitch darkness stepped out of the tree. Its face and body were
I nodded, “Ready.” “Good. Then in the count of three. One…two….three…” the moment he said three, I was handed the box and I quickly ran away from the room with the box in my hand. I could not waste my time reading the clue standing there. A door came in front of my sight in the corridor and I stepped inside it without a second thought. It was like any other room of Dominic’s. There was a huge glass window in the opposite end through which the faint sunlight filtered in, dark maroon curtains flanked the sides and a huge table stood at the west. I heard footsteps behind me and quickly hid behind the table. I should have closed the door the moment I walked in, but he would have heard it anyway. I sat on the cold, smooth floor, my back leaning against the table. I pulled the lid of the wooden box open and as said found a little folded paper kept in it. Placing the box on the floor as soundlessly as possible, I opened the paper and three sentences came into my view. Three sentences? For
I did something I never thought I would…I moved closer to where he stood and placed my hand on his arm gently, my eyes looking up at him, “Please don’t. It is really important to me because there are memories stored in it that I don’t want to lose.” I meant what I said.I hadn’t put those memories into cloud storage because I wasn’t worried about the phone before. I had never really thought much about the importance of those pics and videos that I kept. But now I realized how much they mattered to me.And for that, I was ready to plead to him.He stared at me, his eyes boring into mine. The rays of sunlight swirled in his dark irises and they looked warm, tempting for me to dive in. His features were not hard like before and he placed his free hand on my face.His fingers traced my cheek and coursed little tingles down my belly, “I don’t know whether I should be proud or worried that you make me this week,” his lips left a soft sigh that sounded like music in my ears and he handed me
He looked shocked for a minute before his face regained its composure. He asked, “Are you sure?”I nodded, “Yes.” I wasn’t scared this time to face them.He left a soft sigh and embraced me in a hug. It felt warm under his embrace. His large hand caressed my head and my tense nerves calmed down on their own.“You will no longer face this, I promise you that.” his voice was soft like his touch and the truth in it melted my heart like ice under fire. Why did it feel so safe with him?But then the image of Sam hugging me once and promising to protect me flashed in my mind. I also thought at that time that I was safe under him. But I wasn’t.I broke the hug and moved away from Dominic. He looked displeased by the action but wasn’t verbal about it. He moved closer to me, just like he did whenever he found me getting away from him, and cupped my face in his hands.I was made to stare up at his sharp eyes,“You can go back to college,” he said and my eyes widened in shock at what I heard. Di
I closed my eyes and sighed. I had hoped that at least my morning would go chaos-free, but fate certainly had other plans.Jannet was the first to turn around and said, “Stay away from her, Nat. Why don’t you go and mind your own business?”Natalie scoffed, “I am not wasting my time talking to a psycho like you. Didn’t I tell you and that phony friend of yours to stay away from these matters? Or did you forget what we did last day?”I looked at Jannet who avoided eye contact with me.Did they bully them too?“Jannet? What did they do to you and Candice?” I shook her arm, but Nat came in between,“Just showed them their place. It was so fun, you should have seen it.” she winked at me and I grimaced,“How dare you touch my friends?! I will—”“Do what? Suck your Alpha’s cock? That’s nothing new, sweetie. We thought we were spreading rumors but you proved it today. So you have really decided to use your body to gain some money? Disgusting!” she looked down at me as if I was dirt,Since I h
Once I stepped in, the voices of the students stopped. A few students were sitting at the desks in the class but no teacher since it was already recess. I knew they would be here since I used to sit here with him when I was his ‘girlfriend’. The thought made me flinch inside, but I kept myself composed. “Woah, Woah! Look who decided to finally step out of her bill,” Brian’s taunting voice came from one side and the others in the group started to laugh, their eyes on me. Natalie was sitting on top of Sam’s lap, his blue eyes scrutinizing me with a frown. He did not say a word and was silent while Natalie stood up and gave me a dirty look. “Looks like you all are thick-headed. I am surprised that you two came here after what happened yesterday. Wasn’t that a good lesson enough? Or are you a masochist,” A sly smile curled up Natalie’s lips and her girl gang started to make sounds out of their mouth, Jannet spat, “We aren’t afraid of you dickheads! Just take the video off your account
There was silence in the headmistress’s office and my lips were parted to speak but nothing came out except air. What just happened?! He really was going to take them to the Punishment Grounds?Nobody spoke a word and I looked up to find Dominic staring down at me with a cold face. I did not know what to say to him. I did have a feeling that he was planning something. Did not expect it to turn out this way though.He forwarded his hand towards me, “You may continue with your classes. I will come to take you in the afternoon,” he said and walked out of the office.The headmistress looked baffled and she stared at me once before walking out of the room to accompany the Alpha. Professor Luther did the same.I was now left alone with Jannet and Candice who had their jaws touching the floor.“Oh my God!” Candice shouted,“I can’t believe they are finally going to get punished, Av! ” Jannet squealed and Candice was still in shock mode from what she witnessed.I did not say anything.We walk
