Leah,

My phone lit up beside me on the bed, vibrating for the hundredth time. The room was dark, save for the brief, light that flashed each time a new notification came in, or the phone rang.

I was curled up in a ball, hugging the pillow. Every muscle in my body ached, reminding me of last night. I wanted to forget. To pretend it didn't happen, but his touch lingered. My lips throbbed from his kiss, bruised and swollen. I had scrubbed myself in the shower, trying to wash it away, to erase his touch. But the water did nothing to quench the fire he had ignited within me. A fire that had been extinguished for so long I had forgotten it even existed.

I pulled the pillow closer, my arm tightening around it. A sob escaped my lips, but no tears came. I had cried all my tears dry since I came back.

I hated myself for how much I had wanted it, every forbidden second of it. I submitted to him willingly, allowing him to touch me in ways I hadn't been touched before. Shame coiled tightly in my st

  • Consumed By Darkness   058~ AT ME

    LeahI knew death was the only way out of Aiden's chains, but it wouldn't be mine.Killing him would be easy. I'd watched him sleep enough nights to know it was possible. I just needed to make up my mind to actually stab him. He let his guard down with me, convinced I wouldn't dare. That arrogance would cost him.He stepped out of the closet with his coat half on, sliding a gun into his holster. I hated how his eyes softened when they met mine. He leaned down, his fingers grazing my face. That same stupid smile he wore in the kitchen tugged at his mouth.I turned my face away from his kiss. He pressed his lips to my neck and breathed me in. My hands curled into fists. "Should I get you something on my way back?" He murmured against my skin.When I didn't reply, he turned my face and brushed his lips against mine. "I'll be back soon."I remained still on the bed, listening until his boots faded out of the room. When the room grew quiet, I reached under the pillow and felt the knife I

    AidenI dropped the hairdryer on the nightstand and caught Leah before she could limp away. I lowered her gently on the bed. Kneeling, I raised her foot. My frustration boiled with each shard I picked out.She didn't make a sound as I cleaned her injury like she was now numb to pain."Don't do this to yourself, Leah." My voice was soft as I cleaned her wounds. "If you need to hurt someone, hurt me instead."She turned her head away from me, staring at the ceiling. I kissed the top of her foot after wrapping it. She jerked it away and tried to stand. I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down."I'll tie you to the fucking bed if you walk on that foot," I threatened.She struggled a little more and when she saw it was futile she gave up and lay down. The servant girl leah was close with knocked and came in with a broom.Leah's stomach growled loudly. I glanced at her. "I'll go get you something to eat." In the kitchen, Clare was wiping down the counter. I asked for Leah's food, an

  • Consumed By Darkness   056~ THE WAY

    AidenThe last time she cried was when I found her shivering in the rain.The last time she spoke was after she saw her cousin's corpse. Since then, she hadn't made a sound. The only noises she spared me were the soft sound of her breathing and the occasional hiss in her sleep. She stares through me with empty eyes, moves like a doll wound up and left to break, and I can't deny the truth. I did this to her. I thought it would take three days as usual to get her to come around. A week has passed, and she is only a shell of the woman she used to be. I would rather she curse me, spit those hurtful words, and look at me with hate. Anything but this deadness.And yet, even as I watch her slip further away, I can't bring myself to let her go. Selfish, I know. But I would rather keep her broken by my side than lose her.**************************************Machines beeped steadily as I opened the hospital door to the VIP room.Lucas stood beside the bed, his shoulders hunched as he watc

  • Consumed By Darkness   055~ I LOVE

    Leah I blinked awake, my eyes struggling to adjust to the light and make sense of where I was. My body felt heavy, drained, as if something important had been taken out of me.I felt a warm hand around mine. I turned my head slowly and saw Aiden slumped over the side of the bed, his head resting on the mattress, my hand trapped in his. I stirred, and his eyes fluttered open."You're awake," he breathed, relief softening his face as he sat up. A small smile tugged at his lips. "Thank God.""The baby?" I asked.The smile vanished, and his grip tightened. "You lost it."My hand twitched faintly in his. I pressed my lips together, swallowing the scream clawing up my throat. The emptiness had been there, but I was expecting another answer. It's strange. It hasn't been long since I found out I was pregnant, but I feel like I have lost a part of myself."I see," I whispered, staring past him at the ceiling."I should have caught you," he said."But you didn't."He bowed his head, my hand

  • Consumed By Darkness   054~ RAN FROM.

    Leah You know that heart-wrenching ache when you give your first time to a man you thought was the one, only to realise it was all in your head? Yeah, that's how I felt right now staring at his angry back after what I thought we shared last night. Pathetic. I seem to never learn with him. "Yes," I whispered. The room went silent, and I felt his eyes on me now, but I didn't dare look at him. "You don't need to worry about it," I forced out. "I'll take care of it." I saw him stand up. "The fuck do you mean you will take care of it?" He barked and I flinched. "You aren't actually considering keeping that baby, are you?" My nails dug into my thigh. I turned to face him. God, he looked furious. It's funny cause I don't remember asking to get knocked up. "And what if I am?" I fired back, sitting up, the sheets slipping down my chest. "It's not even your baby." He chuckled, his voice dipping dangerously. "Then whose? Who the fuck touched you except me, Leah? Tell me." "In case

    LeahIt sank into his eyes. He screamed, staggering back, hand clutching his ruined eye as blood ran down his cheek. "You fucking bitch!"I didn't waste time and started running for the door, but my escape lasted barely two sceonds before he caught me by the hair."Where the fuck do you think you are going to?" He snarled, yanking me back so hard my scalp hurt. He slammed my head against the wall, and I whimpered from the pain. His ruined eye was bloodied, and he had already pulled the pregnancy stick put.He pressed the gun to my forehead. "If you weren't needed alive, I would paint the floor with your brains."My chest heaved, fear enveloping me. Where the fuck is Aiden when you need him? I caught Amanda behind him, sneaking into the room with a knife in her hand."You're making a big mistake," I said, trying to distract him, my breath shaky. "Aiden won't let you get away with touching me.""Shut the fuck up, hoe," he growled, and slapped me.I bit down on my lip as I blinked bac
