Aiden

I gestured to the stool by the counter. "Sit."

She didn't move.

I shook my head, chuckling. "You like being told what to do, but you never actually listen."

I lifted her easily. She was leaner than the last time I touched her.

She stiffened for a moment, then let me place her on the island. Her legs dangled off the edge. "You must love it when I do it for you?"

My hands slid down the curve of her legs, resting at her bare feet. They were cold.

"You shouldn't be walking around barefoot," I said, rubbing warmth back into her toes, absentmindedly. Her body jolted when my thumb brushed a certain spot.

She gasped and clenched the edge of the island.

My eyes flicked up to hers, a smirk tugging at the corner of my mouth like I had just discovered a gold mine. "Sensitive here?"

I drew a circle along the arch of her foot. Her toes curled. Her breath hitched, lips parting. She bit down on the reaction.

I leaned closer. "Guess there are still things about your body I haven't learned yet."

  • Consumed By Darkness   087~ BUT I

    LeahI was crying badly now, shaking so hard my knees nearly buckled."There were times," I whispered, hating myself for what I was about confessing, "times I thought you did. You didn't even have to say it. I felt it, I believed it and I loved you too."My throat closed."And that's what makes this worse, Aiden. I fucking loved you and you still broke me. Even after all these years, even when I thought you were dead, you still owned my heart. Does that even make any sense?"His hand cupped my face gently. "You're right," he said, his voice wrecked and stripped raw. "I don't know how to love the right way. But I'm trying, Leah. I swear I am."I shook my head, tears spilling faster."You say things like that so easily," I cried. "You swear you won't hurt me again and then you do something even worse the moment I let you back in

  • Consumed By Darkness   086~ RED FLAG,

    LeahJust hearing Aunty Louise's name had me running and flagging down a cab before Aria could finish her sentence."It's really bad this time," She sobbed over the phone. "She was found in the bathtub, and there was... there was blood everywhere, Leah." My hands shook throughout the ride, and I screamed at the driver more than once to speed up as my thoughts spiralled. I didn't want to imagine it, but the images came anyway.My phone buzzed all the way to the hospital, and I didn't bother checking it once.When I got there, my father was pacing the corridor, his phone clenched tightly in his hand while Aria sat nearby, one arm wrapped around her belly, her eyes swollen and red."Dad," I breathed as tears prickled my eyes.He turned on hearing my voice. "Leah."I ran into him just as he crossed the space between us, and he pulled me into his arms. I clung to his chest and cried."She'll be fine," he murmured, over and over, running his hand down my back, unsure if he was reassuring m

  • Consumed By Darkness   085~ A WALKING

    LeahThe hall was crowded with parents who stood in clusters, voices raised as they blamed the school and threatened to withdraw their children. I stayed at the far end of the room, away from them, hoping no one dragged me into a conversation i didn't have the energy for.My gaze kept drifting across the hall to where Aiden sat on the opposite side. He was impossible to miss as he was bigger than everyone else. And it seemed people kept their distance from him because an empty pocket of space formed around his chair.I chewed on the inside of my cheek and forced myself to look away.I was sure our eyes met outside. Even when I walked in, the only reason I'd found his seat easily was because he'd been shamelessly watching me. But the moment I turned, he wasn't looking like I'd imagined it.So why the fuck was he ignoring me? Had he lost his memory again? Or had he simply decided I wasn't worth the effort anymore?The thought lodged painfully in my chest.I hated that I cared at all.A

    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
