Leah

My body ached all over as I turned on my side. My skin was clammy, the shirt clinging to my damp body. My throat parched, my head pounding with a persistent throb.

I thought I was going to die last night.

The room was dark, except for a little light that slipped through the gap of the tightly drawn curtains.

I blinked, seeing a figure sitting in a chair across from the bed, watching me.

My heart raced as I sat up. "Liam?" I whispered.

He didn't respond.

When he stood up and moved toward the window, I noticed he was taller. Too tall to be Liam. He yanked the curtains open. The sudden light made me squint, and I turned my face away.

My heart dropped when I saw the tattooed, bare back. It wasn't him.

I kissed Liam last night.

I remembered his hands, rough and possessive all over my body. The warmth of his body pressed against mine. His voice.

I swallowed hard, a sickening realisation creeping up my spine.

Aiden turned to face me, his expression unreadable. "You look disappointed,

  • Consumed By Darkness   084~ YOU ARE

    Leah "Leah," Sam called, jumping to her feet, phone clenched in her hand and eyes wild with worry. "Where have you been? I've been calling you—" she stopped as she took in my dishevelled state.I ran straight into her arms, my body folding into hers as if it had finally been given permission to collapse. I started crying, everything I'd been holding in since Storm's last words, finally breaking loose. "Hey... hey," she murmured as she wrapped herself around me. "What happened?"I shook my head against her shoulder, my sobs turning ugly and my chest aching badly. "What should I do, Sam? What should I do?" My voice cracked. "I still love him. I still love that bastard."Saying it out loud now felt like confessing a crime I swore to take to my grave.They sat the heart is complicated, but I think that's just a polite way of excusing stupidity. Because that's what the heart was, a stupid organ that makes you do stupid things. It never listens to reason, never heeds warnings. It charge

    Leah"Careful," a paramedic warned as they rolled Aiden down, the stretcher rattling beneath his weight.I stumbled after them, my heart pounding so loudly that it drowned out everything else."Male, early forties. Collapsed after severe head pain," someone said."Is he going to be okay?" I asked for what felt like the hundredth time.I wiped at my face with the back of my palm, but the tears kept coming, hot and relentless, blurring the bright hospital lights into streaks."Ma'am." A nurse stepped in front of me, holding me back. "You can't go any further.""I— I need to follow him," I choked, reaching for the stretcher as it disappeared through the swinging doors. "Please.""Calm down, ma'am." Then more firmly, "What's your relationship to the patient?"I froze, the question echoing in my ears. My mouth opened, then closed. What was my relationship to him? His captive? Father of my child?"He's—" I began when a familiar voice cut in."I'm his friend."I turned sharply, my breath ca

    LeahIf there was an award for terrible choices, I'd already have a shelf full of them."Another cat?" I laughed softly, shaking my head.Edward had come by to give Roman a late birthday gift. After how our last minute ended, plus him obviously ignoring me at the office, and here, I hadn't expected him to show up at all.His hand went to the back of his neck, his ears reddening. "Oh. I..." he hesitated, then smiled shyly. "I should have gotten him something else.""It's fine," I said, watching Roman whose eyes were shining brightly as he lifted the cat up.I told him he had to keep it at his place just like mom and Roman would have to pay them a visit anytime he wants to play with it. While seeing me out, he leaned in to kiss me, and I didn't stop him. I should have ended it at the first kiss, but a reckless part of me wanted to hurt Aiden with what I knew would tear him apart. In my selfishness, I forgot that the man I was trying to provoke killed as easily as breathing.Edward's mo

  • Consumed By Darkness   081~ MY LIFE.

    AidenLeah left the bathroom without a word, and I stood there for a moment, breathing hard, before my fist slammed into the wall.The look in her eyes before she left had broken something in my chest. We were doing so well just hours ago, and I just had to ruin it. I always did and without remorse.Time passed slowly, the bathroom smelling faintly of soap and her shampoo, making the wait a torture. I finally walked out of the bathroom, peering through the slightly open door to listen to Roman's faint laughter and her speaking to someone else from the living room. I hated that she was hiding me, but I knew better than to walk out there now. So I backed into her bedroom instead, eyes taking in the way her things were arranged neatly, the photo of her and Roman on her dresser.I picked it up, my thumb tracing the edges and their smiling faces. They fit so well together that there was no room for me.I moved to her walk-in closet, fingers brushing over her clothes, opening drawers until

  • Consumed By Darkness   080~ AND MADE

    AidenLeah was lying on the couch, her legs hanging off the edge. Her short hair spilt over her face in wild waves, hiding her face and baring too much of her neck. That pale stretch of skin called to me, begging for teeth, for bruises I'd leave in the shape of my hunger. She had knocked herself out before Roman, who I'd just tucked in."Leah," I rasped, leaning down, my voice a low growl that vibrated through me.She didn't stir, didn't answer, just lay there vulnerable, her chest rising and falling in shallow breaths that made her shirt cling to the swell of her breasts.I clenched my jaw.She had to be doing that on purpose, walking around without a fucking bra, flashing those nipples in my face and calling me a pervert every time stared.My fingers weaved through the soft strands of her hair, savouring the silkness before tucking them behind her ear. My thumb traced her jawline, tilting her chin up until her parted lips were so close I could feel her breath against mine, teasing.

  • Consumed By Darkness   079~ RUINED ME

    LeahFor a moment, I thought he'd go through with it, but he didn't. He just exhaled slowly and rested his forehead against mine, eyes closing like it cost him something to stop."Fuck," he muttered, his voice rough, almost pained. "I want you... so badly, doll."I tried my best not to squirm when my eyes caught the obvious bulge in his pants."Should... you be acting this way when you're married?" I snapped, trying to summon anger to mask the ache building between my thighs.He chuckled softly. "How did I get married without my knowledge?" My brows pulled together."Unless," he went on lazily. "I was married to you before my memory loss."The teasing only fueled my irritation. I tried to push away from him, but his hand held me in place. "I'm not married," he said, the humour draining from his voice. "And that kid isn't mine. At least not biologically." His thumb stroked slow circles over the mole.I waited for a sign that he was lying, but it never came."That's none of my fucking
