โSo, TVD is the company I work for,โ Brian starts, and I just look at him with wide, expectant eyes, โThe main offices are in Sendera, but there is one here in Altamira. Something like this is exactly what the office here wantsโฆ a scandal. If we manage to convince some of the girls to go ahead and sue, we can give TVD the biggest scandal to date. And then Damon is for sure finished. No matter how rich or powerful he is, this will put him in the public eye, and the court of public opinion will devour him. Even if the trial doesnโt go anywhere, it wonโt matter; the company will be done. Tundra Models will be canceled, and Damon, at the very least, will be canceled too. Maybe Harry can keep him out of prison, but heโll never be seen in a good light in Altamiraโฆ or maybe even the whole country.โ My heart stops completely. That sounds like a solid plan, much better than anything I could come up with on my own. Butโฆ damn, when he said โcountry,โ it put everything into perspective for me.
Before getting out, I pull out the gun I carry just to protect myself not to kill anyone, no matter how much I want to. That's the rule I need to follow in order to keep it. I walk to the old raggedy house, not shocked that Dean is friends with someone who lives here. This dumbass always manages to find the worst kinds of people somehow. I knock on the door and wait around ten seconds before a guy opens the door. He's good-looking, I guess, but around five years older than me. Older guys are what Dean usually goes for, so I'm not shocked. "Wh-what are you doing here?" he asks, his eyes wide with shock as he looks at me, then at Dean, "He told you I did something? I didn't!" The idiot tries to close the door in my face, but Iโm faster than him and I push the door, giving myself permission to enter. "Where's the watch?" I ask, but the guy just shakes his head, "I know there's a Rolex around here and I know you can't afford that, so where is it?" The guy clasps his fists and his
Brian Lannister is Lilyโs new boyfriend, according to Dean. The guy is staying with Lily all weekend, and last night they were all over each other, kissing and touching like the world was about to end. The way that makes me feel almost makes me call Zion for an emergency session, but I donโt. I mean, jealousy is something Iโm used to, but this is the first time I see a guy Lily is fucking in person. The other times, itโs only been through pictures. Except this time is differentโLily is spending time with him while sheโs sober. I donโt like it. This has the potential to become something serious and it bothers me even to think about it. Lily is still mine. Sheโs going to be MY girlfriend, not someone elseโs. I donโt know when or how, but Iโll make it happen. Once weโre done eating, I drive Dean to the bar where he left his car yesterday and then I go home, fighting the urge to go back to Lilyโs house now that I know where she lives. I know Iโll do it soon, but not today
โThank you, miss. Weโll take the rooms,โ I answer for everyone, making three people growl behind me. โAiden and I can share a bed. And the girls can share the other bed, right? Itโs just a couple days.โ Dean curses me out for calling him a girl and throws a weak punch to my back. Lily murmurs that itโs okay. โI donโt like this, but itโs not like it matters,โ Aiden growls, so angry. Poor thing. My father takes a worried breath and steps closer to put a hand on his arm. โIโm sorry, manโฆ Iโll make it up to you later,โ he promises, โYou can choose the destination for the winter break. You can choose anywhere you want. Is that fair?โ โOkayโฆ in that case, I want to stay in Altamira all winter,โ Aiden says immediately, demolishing my good mood, โI want all of us to stay in Altamira together.โ โNo,โ I say, frowning, โWe always go somewhere for the holidays.โ โNot this year,โ he says, all smiles now. Heโs happy to go against me, โWeโll stay home, in the warm winter of Altamira. Tak
"Shut the fuck up, will you? I'm ready to sleep. And if you touch me in my sleep again, I'll be calling CPS on you," I add, just to piss him off, but Aiden just rolls his eyes, "Turn off the lights." "Lily is not even ready for bed yet and it's still fucking early." "I don't care! I'm sick!" I growl, "Turn off the lights or I'll contaminate everything you eat tomorrow just to make sure you're sick too." "Fucking psycho," Aiden snaps and he punches the fuck out of my arm. So hard, I can't even make noise for a second. It hurts so bad. I hate that he got all the muscle genes, "Fuck you, I'm not turning off shit." I'm about to get up and make this a real fight when the door of the bathroom opens and Lily comes out with her hair up and wearing the tiny pjs she loves so much. That changes Aiden's mind immediately and he shoots me a nasty look before getting up to turn off the lights, just to prevent me from looking at his girl. Our girl, not that he'll ever figure it out. "D
***** PRESENT ***** { Aiden } My second favorite city in the whole world is London. It's different enough from Altamira that it gives me a break when I need it the most, like right now. I need a break from my real life. I need to pretend I don't have a million responsibilities for a while. Lying to my stupid family is not hard, so I made up that meeting in Taiwan and no one doubted it because, who besides me ever goes out of the country for these meetings? No one, just me. Me, me, me. It's always me. I'm fucking sick of it. I really just needed a week away from everyone. Away from Altamira. Away from Lily. And most importantly, away from Damon. At this point, things are different and 'good' with my brother. Dad doesn't worry as much about him because it's not as dangerous to have him wandering the streets on his own -supposedly- and I guess it's true. He's been a good boy ever since he got too carried away and almost kills that girl. Thank god for that. But if I wer
When I return to Altamira a week later, the warm weather feels perfect. The sky is blue and the sun is shining, unlike Londonโs gray skies. London gave me the break I needed, but Altamira is undoubtedly my home. โIโll leave you on your own for a bit, okay? I need to go see my family,โ I tell Mads as we drive from the airport to my penthouse. She says itโs no problem, so I just drop our bags inside, make sure sheโs comfortable before heading out to eat with my beloved family. When I arrive, I can see everyone is outside in the backyard enjoying the perfect day. My father is wearing nothing but swim trunks with flamingos on them, Lily is in cute summer dress beside him helping grill burgers, Berenice is sunbathing in a tiny white bikini and Damon is in the pool playing volleyball with Dean. What the hell is going on here? Itโs like I left and this place turned into a normal family. โHeyโฆโ I murmur as I approach, almost scared. This is Uncanny Valley as fuck, โAm I in the right
โAre you going to mention Aiden?โ My mom asks, sounding hopeful. I shake my head. She rolls her eyes but doesnโt push me to do it, โAll of this sounds like the perfect idea. You have green light to proceed. Just make sure to keep your name in the dark; donโt let anyone know youโre behind this. Letโs keep it secret.โ โYeah, I know,โ I nod, โMy friendโฆ heโs a really good guy, mom. He says he can take the fallout if necessary, to keep us out of trouble.โ My mom raises her eyebrows with interest. โWell, I like him already. You have to introduce him to me someday,โ she says. I nod, but I donโt tell her that heโs going to live with me because I know itโs insane. Althoughโฆ her eyes look insane right now so I donโt think she would even care, โWell, I need to get back out there. Knowing that Damon is going to sink soon has improved my mood. I know Harry is going to hate when everyone finds out the truth about the monster he created. This will absolutely destroy him. Then I can proceed to
โYou canโt let him infect your head, Lilian,โ he says as he gets up to get rid of everything. Including the shirt. Whatever, Iโm already planning on stealing it and keeping it forever. The shirt Aiden wore all day with Damonโs blood on it. Itโs nothing short of a piece of art. To me, at least. Aiden returns to my arms with only his boxers and I receive him joyfully. He gets back to his previous spot with his head on my chest and I enjoy it for one secondโฆ until my brain starts reminding me that heโll be gone soon. โWhen are you leaving?โ "Huh?" He asks, lifting his head again. His hand is going under my shirt until he can grab one of my boobs, "Are you in a rush or something? Somewhere to be? Another boyfriend to cry for?" "No, dummy. I meant when are you leaving Altamira," I clarify. Aiden stops squeezing my boob, he just looks at me for three heartbeats, as if he's thinking about it. That means he doesn't have a set plan, right? Right?! He was so intense about get
{ Lily } Aiden never came back yesterday, so I spent the rest of the day crying my ass off while hugging my mom as we watched people in the news talking shit about Damon while they showed how incredibly handsome he looked, trying his hardest not to roll his eyes. To be completely honest, it was a bittersweet day. My mom was being the nicest sheโs ever been with me, Harry stayed home with us until the afternoon when my mom finally had enough of his presence and kicked him out. And Dean was there, being Dean and cheering me up a bit. It was a nice family day. Like, real family. So I enjoyed that part, but I hated the part where Aiden was away all day. And I was missing the fuck out of Damon, worried about him... until he texted me. Yeah, the guy who's in prison, he texted me out of nowhere and told me Aiden actually helped him out. So now we'll be able to talk as much as we want. Then Aiden called me and said he wouldn't be leaving Altamira yet because he has some โnew issues
"Whatโs going on?" I ask, completely confused, but a smile is growing on my face. "Hey, Damon, this is my buddy Darren," Aiden says with a different voice. He's playing a character for this guy, so I just nod and wait for more information, "He knows you don't deserve to be here, he wants to help us out while we figure out how to get you out.โ "Oh," I say, blinking my confusion away. This is definitely not a set-up then, it's Aiden fixing my life again, "Hi, man. Itโs nice to meet you.โ "Come here," he says and comes to fucking hug me, so hard he lifts me up. I find Aiden's eyes over this guy shoulder and he gives me a pointed look, so I respond to the hug, patting the guy's back, "Any brother of Aiden's is my brother. I'm sorry those bitches put you on this position." "Thanks, man," I hug him harder, for real this time, "Ungrateful pieces of shit, they couldn't even look into my eyes during the trial. They knew they were blowing shit way out of proportion." "That's women fo
"I'm going to take you to Berenice's house. I need to make sure Lily's okay... and then I'm going to make sure nothing happens to Damon," I say, almost to myself, and my words make my father look at me with intense eyes, "I have a plan and a connection inside the prison. I'm going to buy him protection." "What? You have a connection inside the prison, like... an inmate?" "No. Someone in the administration," I reply, taking a deep breath. "He's a good friend... and his father is the prison warden." That lights him up. "Yes! Use him!," my dad says with renewed hope in his eyes, "If you don't, Damon will be stabbed to death with a made-up knife, only after being someone's girlfriend in there." That makes me laugh because itโs never going to happen, at least not like that. Damon isn't the victim, he would find a way to get out of the situation. And if someone is getting a girlfriend and raping someone in there, is him. I don't doubt he could rape a man, not for a second.
โWhy?โ My mom asks, unable to hide her true feelings about the situation, โReally, why? Tell me one good thing about him.โI stay blank. One good thing about Damon? โThere arenโt palpable good things about Damon,โ I finally admit, looking down, โHe is mostly a bad person, but at least heโs open about it. He doesnโt hide what he is. And when you get to know him, you see heโsโฆ just a little crazy, but not ambitious enough to actually be evil. Even with those girls, you can ask them personally. He didnโt rape anyone, heโs just a big bully. And he can be very scary, I know that firsthandโฆ but heโs not a monster. Just like Harry promised you anything you asked for, Damon gave those girls something in exchange for a scene with him. He likes random kinks and he has these girls do them, but since he doesnโt explain, everything feels so bizarre.โMy mom takes a deep breath and thinks about it for a second. โI know everyone thinks I'm stupid, but I'm not that stupid, okay? So, just trust me w
"Yeah, heโs leaving," I repeat in a whisper, my stomach twists just thinking about it. I clear my throat, "Let's not talk about it, yeah? Please." "Okay," she relents, then looks down to her hands for a second, "Uh, I've had a lot of time to think about our dispute the other day andโฆ I want to apologize to you. For a multitude of reasons. Even if you don't want to forgive me, can I please just tell you how sorry I am?โ I just nod. Dean mumbles something and grabs Choky's harness to take him away from us and give us privacy. My mom walks to her brand new living room and I follow her, sitting next to her on the big white couch and looking directly at her belly as she grabs my hand. My only biological sibling is in there, itโs kind of weird to think about it. "I was so young when I had you. A young, poor girl with lots of ambition," she starts, squeezing my hand, "I resented you a lot. I lost my freedom and my dreams because I was forced to have you by my idiotic religious fami
Oh, dear lordโฆ I think I trust Damon now. Or at least I do right this second, with his big dick inside of me and his gorgeousness clouding my view of the universe. He won. I mean, of course I donโt trust him one hundred percent, but definitely a lot more than before. I think I got to know him a lot better these past few days. He's obviously not a saint, at all, but I also think he's not absolutely evil I thought he was. He's just a little deranged, but it hasnโt been that bad. So far. "You're the only person that brings this out of me," he says in a gentle tone, touching his nose to mine like a cat showing love, "You turn off the bad thoughts inside my head and make me want to be better. You make me want to be a normal man." "I like this calm, softer version of you," I whisper, stroking the smooth skin of his back, "You used to show me just the worst parts of you before. You were always so mean, so evil. You bullied me so much, I really thought you were the worst person t
As soon as Aiden is done with Lily and has left her a whimpering mess, he helps me get my turn by lifting her body and positioning her so she can ride me, cowgirl style. In the water she doesn't have much power to actually ride me, so I lift my hips to fuck her. Her pussy feels even tighter than normal in this position, so it doesn't take too long for me to spill inside of her. Then I suck on her neck and rub her clit until sheโs coming, squeezing my dick like crazy. But even when we're all satisfied, we don't leave the tub. Lily stays in my lap with her legs over Aiden's lap and we talk about everything except our imminent separation tomorrow. But the thoughts are there. Every time I look at the hour in my phone I get a little more worried. This is it, this is fucking it. There is no denying it anymore. When weโre all ready for bed after a quick shower, I lean against the headboard and look at Aiden drying Lilyโs body with the towel. He doesnโt need to do that, but he can
I cross my arms and just observe the way Aiden approaches the guy with tense shoulders and tells him to fuck off, forgetting all about his need to always be polite. I canโt really hear what heโs saying, but I can tell itโs definitely a โfuck offโ situation. And Lily looks confused the whole time, even when Aiden grabs her arm and pulls her back here. I try to hide my pleased smile as they approach by themselves because Hector is still standing in the same place, as if he's confused. The dog is running behind them. "Aiden, seriously. Let go," Lily groans, trying to set herself free, "What is even happening? What was that about? You were so rude to Hector, why the hell would you fire him?โ "Because he wants to fuck you, we can't let that happen," I explain, making Lily shut up and give me a confused look, then she moves it to Aiden, "What, are you sad about it? Do you want to fuck him too?โ "Why are we even talking about fucking? Hector is just Chocolate's trainer. Iโve only be
