Dark Obsession 16. Madness
~ COLTON ~A smug, winning smile was playing on Colton’s face. After all, he was Colton fucking Rhodes, player king of New York City. He wasn’t new into the dating game, and there was no way some virgin girl could beat him at his prime. Did she think he was mad that she stood him up? No, he didn’t get mad, he’d get even. “Mmhm, I’m so happy you called. I didn’t think I was gonna hear from you again,” Catalina purred into his ears as they reached the second floor of the townhouse. Colton stifled a smile and Catalina leaned for his neck, gently kissing and licking his skin.Colton met Catalina at a party in Columbia a few months back. They hooked up several times until Colton got bored and ghosted her. She was beautiful and sexy, sure, but she was also too predictable. She’d let him get away with anything and that was just too easy. Colton always liked someone with more resistance, someone more challenging.“I’ve missed you so bad,” Catalina whispered again, rolling her tongue on his
Dark Obsession 17. Hysteria
~ SIERRA ~“I’m not upset. I’m not jealous. I don’t care.”Sierra pushed past Colton and made her way downstairs to the basement. She was doing it dramatically on purpose too. She didn’t know what had gotten into her, but she was feeling upset and she couldn’t control it. Also, she was upset about feeling upset. She had no right to feel jealous if Colton was with another girl, they weren’t exclusive or anything. She was also the one who insisted that nothing could happen between them. So why was it so upsetting that he showed up with some gorgeous girl and went to the second floor bedroom with her?“I’m not. I don’t care. Really.”“Sierra!” Colton yelled again, but she just kept walking, ignoring him.Today was supposed to be a good and fun day. It was Sierra’s first college party ever. All she wanted was to go experience new things, maybe make some new friends, and make new memories-- but Colton had to come and ruin her night. Everything was fine before he came along, she was enjoyin
Dark Obsession 18. Honesty
~ COLTON ~Colton walked slowly and carefully, not making any sound. He stepped closer to the bed and tilted his head to the side. He was watching Sierra sleeping soundly in his bed. The morning light was streaming through the window and it was hitting her skin in a warm yellow hue. She’s so precious, he thought to himself. Colton’s hand reached for her instinctively. He couldn’t help it. He wanted to touch her, to run his fingers on her smooth skin, and to tuck the wild strands of hair away from that beautiful face.As Colton stood right next to her, Sierra was sleeping soundly like a baby, not noticing him at all. He ran his finger gently down her cheek and his eyes softened. For a moment, he remembered how those guys’ hands were on her and it made his blood boil. He didn’t like that thought at all, so he shook it off. It had been a long night and Colton didn’t sleep at all. He was busy taking care of business, making sure those guys got what they deserve. He didn’t rest until e
Dark Obsession 19. Awestruck
~ SIERRA ~Friday. The day Sierra had been waiting for all week long had finally arrived. As soon as she was done with her afternoon class, Sierra raced back home to get ready. Her dad was out of the country on a business trip so this was the perfect Friday night for a date. She even got Rosie to cover for her, telling her dad and the bodyguards that she was staying over tonight.“Share your location with me,” Rosie demanded as Sierra was waiting for Colton to pick her up at Rosie’s.“What? Why?” Sierra whined.“Just in case. Do it,” Rosie demanded again, pushing Sierra’s phone to her face.“Rose, you’re being ridiculous,” Sierra laughed and took her phone, debating whether or not she should share her location with her cousin. She felt like it was unnecessary. This was Colton, the guy that saved her life. If he wanted to do something bad to her, he would’ve done so already. “Si, I know he’s got your back and everything, but you can never be too careful,” Rosie argued as if she could

~ SIERRA ~“Damn girl, who got you smiling like that?”Rosie was hollering extra loud as soon as Sierra came into the kitchen. Sierra was, of course, smiling like crazy as she was staring at her phone. She was reading and re-reading the text messages she and Colton exchanged over the weekend. “Rosie! Shush!” Sierra snapped at her cousin, then she looked around to make sure that her dad or anyone else wasn’t hearing them. Luckily for Sierra, her dad was already in the office and none of the maids were around.“What? It’s Monday morning and you’re way too happy,” Rosie commented as she sipped her juice. “You need to be more discrete, you’re showing too much,”“What? I am a happy girl. I’m going to class, I like my professor--”“--Sure, your professor,” Rosie cut her off and winked playfully. “And I’m sure your professor will like you in that high-waisted skirt and tights too,”“Rose, you know I can smother you in your sleep, right?” Sierra glared at her cousin, half joking and half ser
Dark Obsession 21. Casual
~ COLTON ~“I can’t fucking believe this!” Jackson scoffed and shook his head. “You’re risking the chance to get at Henri Ascott because you got a date with his daughter?”“You’ve gone mad, Colton. You’ve absolutely gone mad!” Levi added, sounding anxious and worried. Jackson, Levi, and Colton had just arrived at the Met where the charity gala was being held this year. They were all dressed up in sleek three-piece suits, leather shoes, and matching belts. Everyone else around them was also in the same black-tie attire, and all the women looked like they were movie stars stepping out of a red carpet. As a matter of fact, there were several movie stars in attendance. This charity gala was one of the hottest events of the year and all of New York City’s elites were invited. “Guys, relax. It’s a big event, Henri’s not even gonna know I’m here,” Colton replied with a laugh, shrugging off his cousins’ worries. “Besides, everyone who’s anyone is here anyway. The Rhodes should represent the

~ COLTON ~“Look at that, your girl’s dancing with some other dude,” Jackson snickered as they watched Sierra and Raphael take to the dance floor. “Shut up,” Colton hissed dismissively.Colton remained cool and calm on the outside, but he was burning with jealousy on the inside. Just a second ago, he naively thought that he had a handle on the situation, but Sierra’s appearance with Raphael took him by surprise. What is she doing with him?!Colton kept his eyes on Sierra and he watched as Raphael put a hand on the small of her back. Sierra didn’t look very comfortable, but she let him do it, and the pair started dancing. Colton’s jaw clenched instinctively and it took everything in him not to go over there and pull her away.“Are you sure your plan’s still gonna work?” Levi whispered into his ear, fueling his anger even more.“Psh,” Colton let out a mocking scoff. “Raphael Rothschild’s no competition for me,”“Yeah, but he’s still a Rothschild,” Levi reminded him. “You know what th
Dark Obsession 23. Secret
~ SIERRA ~ “Sierra Adeline Ascott, will you be my girlfriend?”Colton’s question hung in silence inside that gallery room. There was almost an echo and it kept ringing in Sierra’s ears. She was caught off guard and all she could do was freeze like a statue. Meanwhile, Colton’s face remained serious and his eyes were locked on hers, waiting.“...What?” she spoke finally, not knowing how else to respond.“Isn’t it obvious?” he said. “I don’t wanna see you with anyone else. You should be with me,”“Colton--”“I like you, Sierra. A whole damn lot,”Sierra felt like she had been struck by lightning. If she was caught off guard before, she was completely floored right now. Colton, her prince charming, the mysterious bad boy who’s turned her life into a movie, the man who has her weak in the knees and her heart racing like a speed car-- he just said that he likes her!“I…” Sierra opened her mouth to speak, but before she could do anything, she heard heavy footsteps coming towards the room.
