LOGIN[Alma]My brows pulled together.Wait... what?Yet?Did I just say yet?I swallowed, trying to swallow the invisible lump that seemed to have lodged itself in my throat as I stared back at Sienna.A smirk slowly curled across her lips. It was different from the smile she'd been wearing earlier. There was something behind this one that made me instantly uncomfortable."You mean you guys are nothing yet?" Sienna asked, and this time, something shined in her eyes. Excitement, maybe. "Is that what you mean?""We are not dating." I corrected myself, almost too quickly, trying to take back what I'd stupidly let slip.Sienna mumbled something under her breath, her hand folding into a fist on her lap.I glanced at Elara. Her eyes were still on Sienna, her lips curled downward. She looked like she was watching something I hadn't noticed."Is something wrong?" I asked Sienna.She coughed, shook her head, then looked back at me."Not really..." She paused, her eyes moving over my face. "I just..
[Alma]Why was my heart reacting like this just because I had said something about not being able to control who you fell for?I quickly pushed whatever that meant out of my head and turned my attention back to Elara."So what do you intend on doing?" I asked.Hurt flashed across Elara's face. Whatever she was trying to say seemed to get stuck somewhere suddenly, her lips parting without a word coming out. She swallowed hard, her eyes dropping for a moment before she finally managed to push the words out."I'm not sure. I'll have to kill the feelings..." She paused, her voice growing quieter. "Or just end what we have going on. That... That will be better."The way she said it made my heart ache for her. It was obvious she didn't want to let go, yet she was already trying to convince herself that walking away was the only way to keep herself from getting hurt.I reached out and held her hand, squeezing it tightly."Whatever you decide on," I said, tightening my hand around hers, "just
[Alma]"You both judged me for keeping something from you while you were hiding something like this from me too?""I had no idea either." Sienna immediately raised a hand, her palm facing me. "You're not even letting me talk. I just found out, and I was planning to tell you before all of this happened."I tilted my head slightly, studying her face.I searched her eyes, her expression, every little movement, trying to find even the slightest sign that she was lying to me.But her face remained completely neutral.I shifted my gaze to Elara.She shifted on her foot, biting down on her lower lip."I didn't mean to hide it from you girls." She gritted the words out, then turned toward Sienna. The same hardness coated her face, but she quickly masked it before shifting her attention back to me. "I just didn't know how to put it out. I mean, it's fucking irritating just to say it out loud. He's my stepbrother, remember?"I swallowed, my eyes burning into hers.No matter how much I wanted to
[Alma]"Something is up. And I know you too well not to know exactly when your heart is heavy," I said, studying the way she stood there, the uneasiness in her movements despite the small smile still sitting on her lips. "What's going on?" Elara flinched.It was so subtle that I probably wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't been staring directly at her. Her shoulders jerked almost imperceptibly, and for a second, her eyes lost focus before she quickly looked at Sienna again.At that point, I could tell something was going on.There was something between the two of them that I wasn't being told, and the more I watched them, the more uncomfortable the feeling in my stomach became."You're not saying anything," I said, taking a step toward her. "Elara."She cleared her throat, the sound coming out dry and nervous, then looked at Sienna again.Why did she keep looking at Sienna?Elara finally turned toward me. Her lips parted, like she was about to explain herself, but before a single wo
[Alma]I swallowed. My hand curled beside me. Of course I'd forgiven them. I had forgiven them long before I decided to come here. The moment Sienna called me and asked to see me, a part of me had already wanted to run back to them, to hear their voices and see their faces again as if none of those horrible words had ever been said.I knew this was partly my fault. If I hadn't kept this from them, maybe things wouldn't have gotten this far in the first place.But then again...I needed to make sure she understood the weight of the words she'd thrown at me without thinking. I could forgive her, but that didn't mean I could pretend those words hadn't hurt me."Even at that," My voice came out so low I wondered for a second if they heard me. I shifted my eyes from Elara and turned to Sienna. "Even at that, Sienna, there are still words that you can't just throw at me. You know that.""I'm sorry, I..."I shook my head, my eyes still not leaving hers. "Let me talk." I swallowed. "Sienna,
[Alma]"Sienna, I still think you should have a change of mind. You're going too fucking far. This cannot be your plan."My brow creased as my legs came to a stop."Elara, I said what I said, and either you're with me or not. I already told you I want..." She didn't finish whatever she was trying to say.A whisper followed, too low for me to make out, and then I heard footsteps coming toward me.Elara walked out first. Then Sienna.The moment they saw me, both of them stopped.Elara's eyes widened. Sienna flinched so hard that there was no way I could have missed it."Alma?" Sienna called, her voice suddenly low.Her eyes moved from me to Elara, then back to me. She shifted awkwardly on one foot, as if she had suddenly forgotten how to stand normally."You're here?"My gaze moved to Elara.She was still staring at me with those wide eyes. There was something behind them that I couldn't quite place.Elara opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but whatever it was, she see
[Alma]I bit down hard on my lips as I stared back at my reflection, before shifting my gaze to the closed door. I gulped, repeating the lies I was going to tell Grandma, if this had to do with where I was or why I had a different outfit on.I took another deep breath, smoothing my hand over my dr
[Zevyn]I don’t lose control. But something about this green-eyed woman...The way she looked at me— like she already knew exactly what I was capable of—I let her stand there.Let her think. Let her try to piece it together—why she was here, what I really wanted, what she’d just broken.She was s
[Zevyn]My jaw clenched so hard I knew my teeth would crack if I didn't let go."Urghh." The woman on her knees moaned, her head bumping harder against my cock to impress me— or perhaps make me increase her pay, I couldn't care less.I was getting bored, but I needed her to keep going, I needed to
[Alma] "It happens on my terms." I blinked. Hard. My heartbeat thudded loudly in my chest as I stared at the man in front of me, struggling to focus on what he just said. My breath came out thinner than I wanted as I held it together, forcing my shoulders to stay relaxed even when everything in
