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
Dark Obsession 22. Official
~ 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.
Dark Obsession 24. Rendezvous
~ SIERRA ~“You and Colton are what now!?” Rosie almost choked on her coffee as Sierra told her the news over breakfast. Although she was the one who told Colton not to tell anyone about their relationship, Sierra couldn’t help herself and she just had to tell Rosie about it. “Ssshh!” Sierra put a hand over Rosie’s mouth quickly. “Keep it down, my dad’s upstairs!”“But, but, how?” Rosie gaped again, pushing Sierra’s hand away. “And what? And why?”“I told you, Rose,” Sierra shrugged simply. “He asked me about it at the charity gala and I said yes,”“But, whatever happened to just having fun?” Rosie reminded her. “You know this isn’t gonna go anywhere,”Sierra paused for a moment. She knew what Rosie was talking about. Her dad was pretty set on marrying her off to Raphael Rothschild. It might not happen right now, but it would happen someday, and her having a boyfriend was totally out of the question. “I know,” Sierra sighed. “But... who says I can’t have fun and have a boyfriend at
Dark Obsession 25. Careful
~ SIERRA ~- - - - - TWO WEEKS LATER - - - - -“Wow, you look great, Si!” Rosie chimed as she entered Sierra’s room. It was Halloween night tonight and the girls were all dressed up. Rosie was wearing a black wig and an all-black attire, resembling Morticia Addams. Right behind her, Ethan followed suit with his Gomez costume.“Thanks, you like my costume?” Sierra said as she twirled in her little light blue dress and matching crown.“Like it? I love it!” Rosie laughed. “Slutty princess, totally suits you,”“It’s not slutty!” Sierra gasped in horror, pulling down her skirt.“Sure, if you say so,” Rosie winked playfully and strode towards Sierra’s closet. She was coming over to borrow some shoes.“So, is your boyfriend gonna come as prince charming?” Ethan said somewhat nonchalantly, but he was curious about Sierra and her new boyfriend. Rosie was not supposed to tell him about this, but she couldn’t keep her mouth shut, of course. Luckily, Ethan was good at keeping secrets. No one els
Dark Obsession 26. Explore
~ SIERRA ~“Welcome to my humble abode!” Colton spoke as he pushed the double doors open, leading Sierra into his penthouse apartment. “You don’t have to worry about anyone ever finding us here,”Sierra took a step inside and she was immediately in awe. She lived in mansions and fancy apartments all her life, but this was definitely on the higher end spectrum. The floor was covered in marble, there was a crystal chandelier hanging above the foyer, and the gigantic windows displayed an unobstructed view of Central Park. When she was here before, she was in such a rush and in an unstable headspace, she couldn’t properly appreciate the masterpiece that was Colton’s home. “Wow,” she gasped in awe as Colton took off her coat and she stepped further down, admiring the art piece hanging on the wall. “Do you live here alone?”“Pretty much,” he shrugged and put her coat in the closet.“Where are your parents?” “They’re not around,” he said simply and walked towards the dining room. “Come on,
Dark Obsession 27. Experience
~ COLTON ~The way Sierra kissed him was magnetic. It was almost impossible to think that she was inexperienced in this area. She was such a natural, the way her soft lips coax and tangle with his, it was like they were moving to some unknown rhythm. Colton’s chest was burning with a fire he couldn’t explain. Kissing a girl was not a new experience for him. To be honest, he was never interested in kissing. It was only a prelude to the main course and Colton always went for the main course.This time, however, things were different. It felt so nice to kiss her lips and touch her face, rake her hair, and run his fingers on her back. Each and every moment was a revelation to be savored and for the first time ever, Colton didn’t want to rush things. There was much to be enjoyed and explored still. So, that was exactly what he did. Gently, he put a hand on her face and pulled her closer. Sierra let out a gasp and Colton used the momentum to push his tongue inside. He tasted every corner o
Dark Obsession 28. Attached
~ SIERRA ~“Where the hell are you?! Get your ass back home right now or your dad’s gonna kill us both!” Rosie was screaming at the top of her lungs, acting like a crazy mom. The urgency in her voice spread panic across Sierra’s face, she could only think of the worst.“Sorry! I lost track of time, I’ll be right there,” she replied as she haphazardly pulled herself off the couch, away from Colton’s warm arms. “Colton, I gotta--”“You gotta go,” he nodded understandingly. “I heard,”Sierra was scrambling. She was adjusting her dress, looking under the couch for her fallen shoes, and grabbing her purse all at once. Meanwhile, Colton moved slowly and precisely. He straightened his shirt and grabbed his coat. Then he swiped the motorcycle keys from the table and stretched out his hand.“Come on, I’ll take you home,” he said.“Umm… It’s okay, I can take the cab,” Sierra replied as she pulled her left shoe from behind the couch. She’d love Colton to take her home, that would give her an ex
