LOGINAurora Brooks"Did you just move away from me?"I lowered my eyes to his hand that was hurting my arm badly.I winced in pain."Mr. Alexander Roth, you're hurting me."His steady lashes didn't move, as if he had forgotten how to blink while diving into my eyes with complete intensity."You're hurting, aren't you?"I nodded and spoke to his captivating eyes."Beautiful, and you are too."He released my arm and I let out a warm breath.He buttoned his shirt back up, then rubbed his thighs with trembling hands, trying to hide it.I didn't hesitate to take them gently while feeling the slight tremor running through them.My features softened and my eyes filled with tears for no reason.Maybe what I see in him from time to time is the strongest reason why I cry.I don't like seeing him weak in front of me."Alexander Roth."He lifted his gaze from my hand to somewhere other than my face.I asked in a choked voice,"How is your heart?"He squeezed my fingers tightly and the trembling stoppe
Aurora Brooks"A university desire pushes me to explain who this indecent outfit belongs to, and another stops me so you won't cry again."With heavy steps, he returned to his desk and sat down in his chair. He leaned back against it and started looking at me from every angle.I leaned across the couch the same way he did and crossed one leg over the other.I spoke with a wide smile."A prostitute's outfit? I am one too, if that pleases you."He raised an eyebrow while struggling to hide a faint smile."No, you're not. Even if you were a prostitute, I'd work hard to turn you into a nun."I laughed loudly and clapped my hands."Captain Alexander Roth for education and reform. That's very funny!"I caught how his gaze darkened on me.No doubt he was very annoyed."Who let you in? Did someone harass you while you were here or mistreat you?"I shook my head, laughing at what he was imagining after taking a breath."No one did, but the guard wouldn't let me in if Engineer Martin hadn't ste
Aurora Brooks"How dare you do what you did yesterday? You're a shameless sister and you deserve to die."Standing in front of the mirror with a pale face, a sharp knife in my hands that my sister Ivy had forgotten before leaving for college, I stared at my weak features and called myself a whore."No one will care about you even if you're under the dirt being eaten by your worms."I brought it closer to my hand and burst into tears with exhausted breaths. My strands flew across my face from the hot air I kept pushing out while I was almost unconscious.New hallucinations. Words still warm, pushing me toward recklessness and ending my life.I lowered my gaze to my wrist with its swollen vein. The sight tempted me to tear it apart without mercy, but it wasn't the first time.It was the time with no ending after it...When the blade came close to me, I gasped in disbelief and threw it far away.I muttered to my exhausted self."Coward and idiot. You're a failure at dying too."I quickly
Aurora Brooks"That means I stir something inside you."After the captain's voice rolled out and deepened, the hardness of him slapped against my cheek. It was painfully intense and fatally arousing."No. You stir things inside me that I've cursed myself for a thousand times. Coast beauty, you're the only woman who makes my desire move when she's in front of me."He guided his length back to my lips and started tapping them, preparing to push it into my mouth. Harshness coated his tone again as he spoke."Even if I'm in another country miles away, deep in the seas or beneath the open sky."Returning the same sinful look, I parted my lips. He didn't hesitate to push inside in one thrust. It brushed the roof of my mouth naturally and made me choke.He spoke in a blazing voice on the edge of collapse."Something forces me to violate your innocence, touch your femininity, and invade your thoughts."Maintaining his cruelty and arrogance, he continued speaking, ignoring my nails digging int
Aurora Brooks "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"Alexander leaned back against the couch, giving me a full view of his body, but the dimple that suddenly appeared when he clenched his jaw stole my breath away."You're looking at me like you want to kill me."He examined me again under the pretense of silence, that being his answer while his Adam's apple moved in a tempting way.With a voice deep enough to reach the bottom of the oceans, he replied,"I'm looking at you like you're a work of art worthy of worship."I was the silent one this time. His excessive flirting robbed me of speech. I forgot what had happened so quickly, as if he had cast a spell on me that brought forgetfulness.His fingers brushed through the ends of my hair, and I felt his agitated breaths one after another."Everything about you captivates my eyes, Preciosa. Your blonde hair. The shape of your mouth that resembles forbidden fruit in its sweetness. Your brown eyes. Your full cheeks.
Aurora Brooks"What are you looking at? Those eyes of yours never stop harassing me."I was surprised when we reached the restroom and found him standing behind me, enjoying the view of me through the mirror. I turned on the cold water and splashed my face with it.Dark eyes examined me from the tips of my feet to the top of my head as he walked toward me."How is your health, Auro?"Tension swept through me. I avoided looking at his reflection in the mirror. The moment he stopped behind me, both of his hands slid over my arms at the same time."You sweat a lot and react in an unusual way. You move too much and become active for no reason after being calm for a long time."His hand stretched over my stomach and began feeling it. My eyes drifted shut under the effect of his gentle touch. He leaned toward my neck, his breath brushing against my skin."Do you use any stimulant or drug?" His low voice sounded against my ear.My eyes flew open. I moved away from him in disbelief."What mad
Aurora Brooks POVI was never the kind of girl who bowed her head to anyone. No one ever twisted my arm except my father. He knew exactly where I was weak. He knew my weakness was my sisters. Ivy and Amelia.I would gladly place my neck on the gallows if it meant saving their lives.They are strang
Aurora Brooks POVMy eyes fell on a photo inside a wooden frame covered with glass. It was a woman with black eyes and short dark hair. Her hair was deep black, almost like night itself. Yet she was… beautiful in a quiet way."Who is this?"He slowly sat up, barely opening his sleepy eyes. His voic
Aurora Brooks POVBefore he could answer, loud knocks hit the door. Hard, yet oddly controlled. I quickly pulled my leg off his waist, and he regained his dark authority as he walked toward the door.I spoke while fixing the front of my dress."Come in."The door burst open.My father stood there w
Aurora Brooks POVI used my phone light to guide my steps and walked toward the hallway leading to the main door.Just as I reached for the handle to leave, a man's hand suddenly grabbed my wrist."Where are you running off to, beautiful?"The smell of alcohol from his mouth made me sick.
