Dark Obsession: Taming His Demons 13 The Day Is Yours
Jasmine I woke up in an empty bed, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the room. The only reminder that I did not sleep alone was Aeron's woody scent lingering on my sheets. The mere thought of him sent a rush of excitement through me, making me blush as I stretched beneath the cosy covers. How did he manage to sneak into my room last night? It was like a fantasy come to life. Although Aeron didn't give me everything I wanted, there was something about the way he made me feel alive. The way he softened, even if just a bit, during our shared moments. He was a complicated man that much was clear, but there was a glimmer of hope that he might open up to me. As I rolled out of bed, my eyes fell upon a neatly folded note on my nightstand. A smile played on my lips, knowing he took the time to leave me a message. I unfolded the paper and read his words: "Princess, wear something nice; today will be yours." Those simple words sent my heart aflut
Dark Obsession: Taming His Demons 14 A Little Stopover
Jasmine After an hour, Grandma summoned me to the kitchen. Glancing back at the living room, Aeron patiently awaited my return. Eager to depart, I needed him to make the call and gracefully extract us from my sister's company. I loved Ivory, but the thought of her joining for the day and ruining our plans didn't sit well with me. “Have you two hit it off already?” Grandma inquired as I entered the kitchen. Stunned by her perceptiveness, I stood there, caught off guard. She laughed and pulled me close. “You've been looking at him as if he holds your world, Jasmine,” she noted, and I absentmindedly touched my face, realising I had been more obvious than intended. “It's okay. We can't hide our heart's desires. Our eyes tend to give it away. He looks at you the same way. You two have been exchanging those looks for a while. Gabriel and I have been waiting for the news,” she said, her words sinking in as a mix of surprise and realisation crossed my face. “I... I...” I stammered, but sh
Dark Obsession: Taming His Demons 15 Eyes On You
Aeron Planning to spend the entire day with Jasmine was a bold step. It was my way of moving forward with what we have. I wasn't sure if it was the right move or if it was advisable, but I knew I would not rest until I followed my heart. Jasmine paid attention when I told her red was my favourite colour. Seeing her red lace underwear in the warehouse office drove me completely insane. I might have taken her on the spot, but there was no rush in things. I had planned the day, and I hoped to follow through. She had also been very nice and peaceful all morning; I guess the tension between us was why she lashed out most of the time. When Uncle Yusuf linked me to inform me of the shipment. I was angry because I didn't plan to work that day. Nonetheless, it needed inspection, precisely what I was doing now in the warehouse. I had left Jasmine in the office and promised her I wouldn't be long, but seeing the ammunition crates, I doubted if I could keep the promise. "Let's skip this shit
Dark Obsession: Taming His Demons 16 I Don't Do Gently
Aeron Talk about cock-blocking. I was mad about Leonard's timing. I was really hoping to get into things with Jasmine. I needed to dismiss the fucker now. I was glad I hadn't taken her to my room to see the surprise I had laid out. I hoped Julia had followed my instructions and fixed the place up. I stepped away from Jasmine, and she looked at me with longing and disappointment. She was feeling exactly the same way as I did. I looked at her apologetically and strolled towards the door. Leonard stood there with a tinge of annoyance on his face. I didn't give two fucks about his feeling because he had just interrupted my plans. "So?" I said. "Didn't know you started bringing girls home. I guess Mathia's absence forced you to change your routine," He teased, moving past me to enter. He froze when he saw who was in the living room. "Jasmine?" He asked. She had a nervous smile on her face. "Hey, Leonard," She said, and he looked at me, trying to piece things together. "Well, I gue
Dark Obsession: Taming His Demons 17 A Nightmarish Dream
Jasmine Everything had happened so fast; I didn't imagine that Aeron would go all the way, but his need to own and have me seemed just as strong as mine. It was a pleasant surprise, and I wished I had the magic to rewind and live the moment repeatedly to experience his touch, the way he handled me and his dirty words. Sitting between his legs in the tub with my body leaning against him made me feel safe and wanted. All I wanted was to remain in his arms. He caressed my shoulders gently while he used his teeth to graze my neck and nibble the shell of my ear. It sent a wave of pleasure through my body, and I was coming apart already. This man would be the death of me, and maybe he knew it. He was getting into it when suddenly he froze. I turned to look at his face. His eyes were glazed over, which meant he was communicating with someone. I waited a bit for him to finish, and then he pulled me close to his body. "Princess," he whispered in my ear, and I froze a bit because his deme
Dark Obsession: Taming His Demons 18 Off To Woodland
Aeron Leaving Jasmine was very hard. I wished the trip to Woodland could have waited till morning, but it seemed pretty urgent. If, indeed, people from Pictoria had washed up on the shore, then we had a cause for alarm. Jasmine had held her tears and tried to seem as if she was okay with my trip. My hope was to return as soon as possible. I had never felt so light and wanted in my entire life. Throughout my day with Jasmine, memories of my haunted past did not flood my mind. I was free and alive. A feeling I would always crave. It was as if her presence quieted the noise. As I walked away from her room, I knew we had opened a new chapter. The fear of disproval from her folks and mine gnawed at me, but I had tried long enough and resisted her long enough, but not anymore. She was meant for me, and I had tried to fight it, but who was I kidding? It was always going to come to this. It was best I embraced it now. "Told you you wouldn't win," Razor growled in my head, satisfied by
Dark Obsession: Taming His Demons 19 Of The Past
Aeron There was a silence in the room. Laila stared at me as if she had seen a ghost. Monsoor, her brother, kept his eyes on me. They had dark circles around their eye. They looked malnourished. I could not tell if it was their time at sea that had caused it or if it was the way they grew up in Pictoria, but something was wrong with their health. Laila was crying. "You said you would come back for us," She said, weeping. I didn't want to remember those days, but her tears were forcing me down memory lane. The pain, the trauma, the promises. We promised each other many things back then, but who was I to keep them? I was just seven years old. "Laila, behave," Monsoor warned her sternly, and she wiped away her tears and composed herself, but the sadness in her eyes remained. "How did you find your way here?" I asked them, trying to feel for a lie. Moonsoor widened his eyes. "An alpha?" He said, recognising my command, and I nodded. Being an Alpha in Pictoria was a big deal. T
Dark Obsession: Taming His Demons 20 A Day Without
Jasmine.Returning to sleep was difficult after that vivid dream, so I opted to wash the stench of smoke from my skin. The dream lingered in the recesses of my mind, refusing to fade like a haunting melody. I stumbled to the bathroom, half-awake and disoriented, the remnants of the dream casting a surreal haze over my reality.The water felt refreshing as it cascaded over me, a feeble attempt to wash away not only the physical residue of smoke but also the unsettling images that clung to my thoughts. I didn't know if it would be wise to discuss this with anyone or keep it to myself. The dream was a vivid tapestry woven with emotions and details that felt too personal, too intimate to share.As the water swirled down the drain, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Dark circles clung beneath my eyes, testament to the restless night and the disquieting dreams that had plagued my sleep. I had experienced vivid dreams time and time again, but this was the first instance where I would wa
