LOGINThe journey to the island is short. The yacht stops at a dock and we are immediately escorted by two men who look like they could snap me in half if I blinked in the wrong direction. I don’t have time to process anything as a slender woman walks before us and starts searching my pockets.“For your safety and ours.” She tells me as she goes down on her knees and pat my thighs.I turn to Sylas and I see a man digging into his pockets. He senses me watching him and he gives me a flat smile that shows his annoyance.“She’s clean.” The woman says and she leaves in the same way she came, quietly.I walk towards Sylas and he places his hand on my shoulder.“You might hear things you won’t like today. But whatever happens, know that I genuinely believe that you’re a great person and I would never harm you.”I turn to him, he looks serious in the way his jaw is clenched and his eyes are almost bleak. “What?”“You’re one of the few people in the world that I have come to… trust and I really w
Aidan had me blocked for months, for him to send me a text means that he has unblocked me. I feel a wave of excitement hit me.“Lia, our ride is about to leave.” I hear Sylas call impatiently as he walks towards a yacht.“Where have you been?” I shoot Aidan a quick test and I run towards the yacht.“You said we were going in a boat, not a fancy yacht.” I say to SylasHe doesn’t seem to hear me as he turns towards the captain and starts conversing with him in low tones.I wait for Aidan’s response but I get nothing, so I decide to call him back.He picks up on the first ring.“Hello?” I say into the phone and wait for a response“Dahlia,” Aidan says, his voice is ragged and rough, like he’s been yelling.“Aidan, where are you? I’ve been worried sick. Where did you go? Are you okay?”I ask so many questions in one… I’m so nervous I can’t think straight.He breathes hard.“I’m fine now. I went to see my dad. I had to tell him.”“You did what?”“They didn’t believe me, she denied it. She
I wake up from my sleep with cold sweat dripping down my face. I turn to look at the clock.“Fuck, I can’t miss another class today.”I get down from the bed and my head is pounding. I check my phone and I see two texts messages from Sylas.“I’ll be driving to your cafe in twenty minutes.”“Lia, where are you?”The last message was sent over an hour ago. I curse under my breath and rush to the bathroom.I stop in front of the mirror and stare back at my reflection. I wonder how much concealer I would need to hide the dark circles under my eyes. I look deathly pale, like I’ve been living in a cave for decades. I don’t recognize the girl in the mirror and I’m awfully ashamed of her. I rush to the shower and I quickly take my bath. I send Sylas a quick message, telling him I’ll meet him shortly and I get dressed.The world seems quieter today, the sky is grey and stark, like it’s been drained of all its shine.I pull the door to the cafe and I walk in to see Sylas sitting with Jace an
Sylas is sitting at the corner of the cafe. He arrived as soon as I called him, but he's been waiting for the past thirty minutes. There's too many customers today and I need to wait for Sasha to clock in before I leave the counter. “Sorry I'm late.” she says and I sigh in relief.“No Worries.” I say to her, I turn around to find Esmeralda watching Sylas. She has a glaze over her eyes, the same way any sane woman would if they saw how handsome he was. I grab another of coffee and head over to his table. I drop the coffee in front of him with some cookies. “Sorry that I kept you waiting.” I said to him, taking my seat. He grabs a cookie and takes a bite. “Apology accepted.” he says mid bite. “You don't look so good.” “I know, I'm nervous as fuck.”“Hmmm.” Sylas says, I don't know if he's processing what I'm telling him or lost in the cookie. “I told Aidan about my mum, what she said and he just left.” “When?” “Like an hour ago.” “What did he say?” “This changes things or
I don't know how to pretend that I'm fine, because I'm not. I've just had the most mind wrecking orgasm of my entire life and I'm not sure if I know how to breathe any more. Aidan's fingers are tangled up in my hair and my tongue is shoved into his mouth. We're kissing each other like we know it's the last time we would have a taste. I hear a loud knock on my door and I push away from him. My chest is heaving and my heart is beating fast. The knock returns, even louder this time. I swear I'm going to kill that person. I grab my shirt from the bed. “I'm coming.” I yell and I turn to see Aidan wearing his boxers. I open the door a little and peek outside. “Esme, what are you doing here?” “Dahlia, are you okay?” “I'm fine, why won't I be fine?” “You missed classes today and yesterday you didn't come to the cafe at all.” Oh gosh, I should have at least called her. “I'm sorry Es, I've been busy.” “Let me in, I have some reports on the flour that's supposed to arriv
I stir from sleep slowly.I had a weird dream but I can’t remember it. I feel as light as a feather, I feel like I’ve just come back from a spa. That’s weird, I never wake up happy, ever.There’s something loud coming from just above my head. It’s buzzing like an angry bee!It’s unfamiliar and grating on my nerves so bad.I hear someone groan, it’s masculine and deep. My eyelids snap open and I sit up quickly.“Oh goddess,” I curse under my breath “I thought you were an intruder.”Aidan chuckles and I want to kiss him.“Good morning sleepy head.” He says to me in a sing song voice. He’s so cute that I have to avert my gaze. “What’s the time?”“It’s some minutes past ten.” He answers “How long have you been awake?” “About thirty minutes, I’ve been watching you sleep like a creep.”My laugh catches halfway in my throat when I remember why he’s laying in my bed. The way he’d pounded into like a starving man… sweet mother. Memories from last night replay in my head and I feel my pussy
“I can't believe I was asleep for eighteen hours.” I said to Aidan, pushing a branch away from my face.The leaves flutter and swoosh in the evening breeze. It's getting colder by the minute and I was glad I had listened to Aidan when he asked me to bring a jacket. “We'll get there soon.” Aidan sa
“Don’t worry about Jace and Damir,” I hear Aidan’s voice in my mind. “They’ll come around. We just have to wait for the shock to wear off.”Underneath the table, I felt a hand on my thigh.I turned to Aidan sharply and he gave me a mischievous smirk.“Don’t.” I said in my mind.“Don’t what? Don’t s
I COULD NOT BREATHE.I could not even think as he slammed into my pussy. The lines between pain and pleasure blurred and merged together to forge a third emotion. Something I had never felt before.He pulled out almost immediately and slammed in again, burying himself to the hilt.“Dahlia.” His moa
When Aidan said he had sent everyone home, I hadn’t realized that he meant every single soul in the entire building. The mansion was a graveyard that amplified every tiny sound, even the sound of my breaths.The sound of the butter in the pan bounces over the surface of the stainless steel furnishi
