Mag-log inHis other hand moved again, and at that moment, I thought he’d caress my body like he had been doing before.
But to my shock, he held my hand, as if he was telling me he won’t let go.
“You don’t need to think or do anything,” River said, his voice low. “Just let me love you and take everything I’m giving you, and everything will
As soon as the servants pushed me into the bedroom, they immediately closed the door, and the lock clicked from the outside.Once.Twice.Thrice.There were a total of three locks outside the door, and I don’t even have any idea about those locks outside the room. This is the second time I’ve been grounded, and with my mom’s rage, I doubt it will subside soon.But it doesn’t mean I can’t do my best. I can’t stay here, especially since River is not here now. It will kill me, literally and figuratively.“Mom!” I shouted as I pounded against the door with both fists. “Open it, please! Open it!”My voice cracked as I shouted, but it was useless against my mom, who’s dedicated to caging me here. Even Dad doesn’t have plans on letting me go.And with those locks? I doubt I can escape anytime soon.“Mom! Dad! Let me go!” I shouted again, but all I could hear from outside was the footsteps retreating down the hallway, calm and steady, as if nothing horrible had just happened. “Anyone, please
I shook my head, sobbing as River took the blow. I even noticed just now that there was blood at the corner of his mouth.He didn’t look at Dad, but at me.“Don’t be afraid. I’ll always be with you,” he said hoarsely, the sincerity evident in his voice. “I meant every word.”Dad didn’t like what he had just said. He looked at the guards who were holding River and exclaimed, “Get him out of my house.”“Yes, Sir.”“No!” I shrieked, trying to free myself from Mom’s grasp. “Dad, you can’t do this! He can’t leave!”“And why can’t he?” Dad asked, raising an eyebrow, looking at me with fury. “You two have shamed this family. Don’t you have any idea what the others will say once they find out about what you did?!”“This shouldn’t have happened in the first place!” Mom agreed, and I could feel her grip tightening on my hair.Then, she looked at the guards and commanded,“River Sage Palmer is banished from the Miller Mansion. Effective immediately. If he ever comes near her again, I will have h
While we were cherishing the moment with each other’s arms, we heard a knock on the door.“Serenity, open this door right now!” Mom shouted from the outside, the anger evident in her voice. “If you don’t, we’ll be forced to break it!”I jolted upright, my heart thumping rapidly.“River… They must have known that you’re here in the room,” I muttered, biting my nails because of nervousness. “You need to go, or else they’ll find you here. We’re dead once they do!”Shivers ran down my spine as Mom continued knocking on the door, and I knew that it was only a matter of time before she completely lost her patience.“I know that River is inside. You can’t hide it from me now. Someone had seen him from the veranda!” Mom shouted as she banged into the door, the same as my beating heart. She added, “I told you always to keep the door unlocked and not to let strangers come in. But ever since River came here, you have always defied us! You weren’t like this before!”Mom was now losing her compos
Tears continued streaming down my face.It didn’t matter how painful it was at the moment. I was so happy that I couldn’t even contain all the emotions I had.For all the times I was forced to take, I finally have something to give.I gave myself to River, and no matter what happens afterward, I won’t regret it.“You’re crying so much now…” River muttered, planting little kisses on my cheeks. “Is it so painful now? Should I stop?”“No… no,” I answered, shaking my head. “It’s not like that. I’m not crying because of the pain. I’m… just so happy.”I knew that River heard the sincerity in my voice as I muttered those words.Smiling, he kissed my forehead.“I’m happier, Serenity,” he answered as he stared at me, his eyes gleaming with joy. “You don’t have any idea how long I’ve been waiting for this.”“Hmm?” I frowned in confusion. “But we just met recently…”But the way he spoke, it seemed like we had known each other even before. That’s impossible, though. I had never left the States si
His other hand moved again, and at that moment, I thought he’d caress my body like he had been doing before.But to my shock, he held my hand, as if he was telling me he won’t let go.“You don’t need to think or do anything,” River said, his voice low. “Just let me love you and take everything I’m giving you, and everything will be alright.”It took me a few seconds before I nodded.I will be lying if I say that I’m not afraid anymore. Everything I’m feeling right now is for the first time. He’s my first kiss, my first hug with a man, and every first that I could have with someone.But I just trusted the fact that this is River, and no matter what happens, he w
My skin was burning with his touch and kisses, and combined with his words earlier, it felt like something was flowing within me.I don’t know what it was, but my body was so hot. River’s hands were moving on different parts of my body now, as if he was savouring this moment, but still… I wanted more.“Ah…” I moaned when, suddenly, River’s hand went on top of my breasts, slightly caressing them. “Shit, River…”“What are you thinking about, Princess?” he asked, his voice low and husky, his breath fanning on my skin. “You’re still spacing out while I’m pleasuring you? Are you indirectly saying that this isn’t enough?”“No. I—”
