Se connecterKILLIAN POVThe next morning, I left a sleeping Hazel safely tucked under my bed and went out.I knocked once, twice, three times, but no one came out. I could hear faint voices coming from inside.I was about to knock again when the door opened, revealing a worn-out Winter.She was shocked to see me standing there. She tried to jam the door shut, but I put my leg forward, pushing her back a bit.“Get the hell out of my house!” she yelled.I closed the door, walking fully in. I looked around the place and turned back to her. “I’m not here for pleasantries. I need to talk to you.”“Well, I don’t. Now get out, or I’ll call the cops for a home invasion,” she clipped, her tone tight.“Think again if you think I give two shits about cops.”She moved away from the door and slowly walked towards me, folding her arms. If eyes could kill, I would be six feet under by now with the way she was glaring at me.“So, you finally got what you wanted. You’ve succeeded in making Hazel go against her fr
HAZEL POV“I’m so sorry, very sorry,” I cried. “But you have to listen to me about Conner. The things you heard him say that night… I’ve figured out a bit about who the girl is.”Winter shook her head and staggered back, looking at me like I’d lost my mind.“Winter, just listen to me!” I shouted, taken aback by my own tone. “Just listen,” I said, my voice softening.“The parcels, the threatening messages I was getting, they were from them, Conner and the girl you saw him kissing—Lilian Bennet. Everything is complicated now, but if you both will calm down and just listen to me, please.”I pleaded with my eyes, hoping they would see the truth in them.“Come on, Winter. We ain’t listening to all this bullshit she’s sprouting,” Mila said, her tone cold as she pulled Winter with her and headed into the room.“Guys,” I called, going after them.“Stop, Hazel. Just stop it. You’ve done enough for one night,” Mila snapped as they turned and walked away.“I don’t want to see you here, Hazel. I
HAZEL POV“Repeat what you just said. You said who did what?” Mila asked, her voice filled with disbelief.I took a step back. She took a step forward, cornering me. “Have you forgotten so soon what that son of a bitch did to you, or do you need a reminder?”“I get it now.” Winter looked up, her eyes bloodshot as her face reddened. “That bastard forced you. It must be assault. It explains everything.”She loosened her clenched fist and stormed towards me, grabbing me and pulling me into a hug.The impact caused me to stagger backwards. Oh my God, Winter thinks Killian assaulted me. Dread rippled through me.“That bastard. He won’t get away with this. I don’t care how rich his family is; he will pay for this,” she said, her voice determined.“But… there’s no way Killian would actually do that to her, right?” Mila asked, her voice shaken.Winter pulled back, tears filling her eyes. “Are you okay?” she asked, her voice trembling. “Of course you aren’t.” She sobbed. “We should have been t
HAZEL POVI lay on top of Killian, tracing my fingers idly over his chest. “What are you thinking?”“Your voice and those sounds you made when I was deep inside you moments ago.”“Shut up,” I giggled, hitting his chest lightly. We were both still naked, but neither of us cared about that.I leaned on my hand that was on his chest and looked up at him. “We… we didn’t use any protection.”His hand, which was on my hair, stopped moving. His face twisted, but not with anger. He looked more amused. “Scared of getting pregnant?” he teased.“This is not funny, Killian. We also didn’t use one our first time. And yeah, I’m scared of getting pregnant. My parents will skin me alive.”He chuckled and continued messing with my hair. “Better if you get pregnant. That way, both our parents will have no choice but to accept us.”My mouth fell open in surprise. I’m sure I looked pale right then.“Relax,” he laughed. “I’m just messing with you. You should have seen your face just now.”I hit his chest.
HAZEL POVBack in his room, I was on my back with Killian in between my legs, rolling on his bed as we practically devoured each other.My hand slipped under his shirt, coming in contact with his feverish body. I groaned as he thrust up my body. My whole body felt like it was on fire, waiting for him to give me any sort of relief.“Killian, please?” I bucked up the bed, tilting my head to the side as he latched onto my neck, biting me and smoothing it with his tongue.“I can’t take it anymore, Killian. I want you inside me now,” I pleaded, panting hard.He let out a soft laugh. “Be patient, baby. Let me play with this beautiful body first.”I pulled on his shirt, wanting it off. He pulled back a bit and pulled his shirt off. I took that chance to pull off mine as well. I unclasped my bra, letting it fall to the ground, and I was now naked from the waist up.Killian’s eyes darkened as he bit down hard on his lips. “Fuck, Hazel. You’ll be the death of me.” He groaned, pushing me back on
KILLIAN POVI stumbled backwards, my legs too heavy to even move. “I know there’s no justification for whatever shit I did. You are right. Whatever I did is on me, and I’m so sorry, Hazel. I never knew I would cause you so much pain.” I didn’t even know when the tears fell, my vision becoming blurry.Hazel managed to pull herself up and walked closer to me. Her face was full of pain, her eyes bloodshot.“That’s what you want to hear, right? Yes, you are to blame for your own actions, but you are not weak. Your father was wrong about you, Killian.”My breath hitched. She brushed the tears off my face, leaning in closer. I could feel the heat radiating off her skin.“I’ve seen you protect what you care for. I’ve seen you protect me in more ways than one. You are not that, Killian. You are far from it. You were just a kid who let his father’s words get into his head. You are worthy of love, of everything good that can happen to a person.”She rose on her toes and gave me a light kiss. “Y
