FOUR SHADES OF DREY THEY DON'T RESPECT YOU
Chapter 126AureliaMy skin still felt warm where Drayton’s heavy palm had rested against my waist hours ago. I sat on the edge of the sofa with my knees pulled up to my chest, my toes tucked under the hem of an old grey sweatshirt.I stared at my cane leaning against the side of the coffee table. I took few breaths till my hands stopped shaking. Only then did I allow sleep to take me.That night, I dreamt about five of us together as one. And for once, I wanted my dream to be a reality........For the past four days, the four of them had visited... one by one. First Dreyden, standing in my hallway in his dark, tailored suit, dropping his executive mask the moment he pulled me against his chest. Then Dreyven, arriving with rain dripping from his hair, his big hands trembling as he carried me to the bed and pressed his lips to my throat like a man begging for absolution.I had slept with all four of them. I leaned my head back against the cushion and took a long breath. I was tire
FOUR SHADES OF DREY REFUSING TO FEEL IT
Chapter 125Aurelia"I already told you.""Tell me properly." His voice has lost all its bounce. "You left the penthouse. You've barely called any of us. I keep wondering if you're okay in here on your own, if you're eating, if you're managing the stairs, if..." He stops himself, shakes his head. "I worry about you. All the time. It's stupid.""It's not stupid.""It feels stupid. I've spent four days checking my phone every ten minutes in case you need something." He laughs again, drags a hand down his face. "I don't know what to do with how much I think about you."The film carries on behind us, explosions nobody's watching anymore."Drayton.""I know." He holds up a hand, bracing for something. " But I can't make myself stop feeling it just because it's complicated."I look at him. At the rare, unguarded worry sitting plainly on a face that usually gives nothing away. Something in my chest gives."I don't know how to make this simple either," I say. "I wish I did.""Maybe it isn't s
FOUR SHADES OF DREY HOW ARE YOU, LIA?
Chapter 124AureliaGrey light comes through the blinds first. Then the weight of an arm across my waist, warm and real, and for a second I don't remember why that should startle me.Then I do.Dreylen is still here. On his side, facing me, one arm thrown loosely over the pillow between us, his dark hair falling across his forehead in a way I've never once seen it fall during the day. He looks younger like this. Unguarded. Nothing like the quiet, careful man who measures every word before he lets it out of his mouth.I lie there a long time just watching him breathe, waiting for the regret to come and find me.It doesn't. What comes instead is something stranger. A quiet I don't trust, curled up somewhere under my ribs where the old anger usually lives.His eyes open slowly, find mine straight away, like some part of him was checking the whole time he slept."Morning," he says, voice rough with sleep."Morning."He studies my face for a second, searching for something. Whatever he fi
FOUR SHADES OF DREY WHAT HAD I DONE?
Chapter 123I stood there with the door half open, cool night air slipping in around him, rain still dripping from his coat onto my floor in dark little spots. My heart was beating so hard I could feel it in my throat.“I see you everywhere, Auri,” he said, voice low and rough, like the words had been stuck in him for days. “I can’t sketch without your face ending up on the page. I can’t sleep. I can’t... can't think straight.”His grey eyes held mine and something in my chest pulled tight. I should have told him to leave. I should have said this was exactly why I came home...to think, to breathe.Instead I reached out and closed the door. The lock clicked soft and final, and the quiet of the apartment wrapped around us.“Dreylen…” That was all I managed before he stepped close. His hands came up and framed my face, thumbs brushing the corners of my mouth. His skin was cool from the rain, already warming against mine.“Tell me to go,” he whispered. “Tell me this is a mistake and I’l
FOUR SHADES OF DREY I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE
Chapter 122Dreylen said nothing. He sat at the end of the table folding his napkin into smaller and smaller squares, his eyes lowered, until it was a tiny white knot in his palm. Then he looked up and met my gaze, and his face gave nothing away, but something in the grey of his eyes looked like a door closing softly."When?" he asked."Saturday."Nobody spoke. Somewhere down the hall a clock chimed nine. Then Dreyden stood, pushed in his chair, and said, in a voice so controlled it hurt to hear, "I'll arrange a car.""I can...""I'll arrange the car, Aurelia."He left the room. Drayton stared at his empty plate. Dreyven looked at me as if he wanted to say a hundred things and couldn't find the first one.I had won something. I had claimed my own life back. So why did it feel as though I'd just walked out on the only warm room I had ever known?On Saturday morning I walked out of the penthouse on my own feet.It took me eleven minutes to cross the lobby with the cane. All four of the
FOUR SHADES OF DREY I KNOW YOU ARE
Chapter 121"Why not?""Because I like all four of them the same." It came out smaller than I meant it to. "Not the same in the way that they're identical. I know them apart in the dark, Sienna. When Drayton walks into a room, my whole body knows it's Drayton. When Dreylen looks at me, it's a completely different feeling from when Dreyven does. And it's not that I can't choose. It's that every one of them feels like a different piece of something I lost."She stared at me a long time. "That's the most terrifying thing you've ever said to me.""I know.""You're going to get hurt."I let out a laugh with no humor in it. "When have I ever not been?"Sienna flinched, as if I had slapped her."That's not fair," she said quietly."It's true, though." I looked at my own hands, my working hands, resting in my lap. "I've been hurt so long that it feels like a normal weather. At least this time the hurt might come with something worth having."She pulled herself up and sat beside me on the be
