登入Seth's hand moved from the back of her head, sliding down her neck, then her waist. He pulled her against his body, leaving barely any space between them.
His lips possessed every part of her mouth, her body grinding into his in response. The world around them seemed to vanish, hell, neither of them would recall where they were. Not when they are tangled together like this. He groaned as her hands wrapped around his neck, her fingers grazing the nape of his neck. His kiss deepened, becoming more urgent. His tongue traced the line of her lips demanding entrance, and Thea, lost in the overwhelming sensations, parted them without a second thought. Their tongues met, hot and possessive. The scent of his musky cologne and something uniquely Seth filled her head, intoxicating her. His hands began to roam across her skin slowly, sweeping down her back and pressing her hips against his, making her aware of his hardness. Thea whimpered softly as his fingers traced the curve of her spine, then dipped lower, exploring the sensitive skin just above her shorts. Her fingers tightened in his hair, tugging gently in response. Her eyes, glazed with desire, met his momentarily, mouthing a helpless plea for more. His lips left her mouth and straight to her neck, his finger drawing lazy circles around her nipples. He could feel how erect they were under her gymwear, alert and ready. He cupped her gently as he took playful nibbles of her earlobe, driving her in sane. Her knees buckled, it was too much, she could even stand straight not to talk or think about anything but what he was doing to her. His hands slipped under her top, tracing lazy lines under her breast as he took over her mouth again, tongue teasing and making her whimper. A knock came on the door suddenly, “Ms Thea?” It was Butler John, right at the door. Thea's eyes fluttered open in shock, trying to focus. Her back was leaning heavily against the door, preventing anyone from entering. "Ms. Thea? Are you in there?" Butler John's familiar voice came through the door again. "Breakfast is ready.” The door was made of glass but he clearly couldn't see what was happening at the other side. Thea had expected Seth to stop but he didn't. Instead, he leaned in closer, his hand beside her head as he rubbed his fingers on her clothes through her shorts with a teasing smile. “Ms Tyea?” He whispered against her ears. “Your Butler wants to know if you want breakfast. You should respond to him.” he adds, taking a small bite of her earlobe. Her eyes almost rolled to the back of her head, it felt so damned good! G00dness this man knew his way around her body in a way that makes her both upset and excited. Thea tried to respond but Seth's mouth was on that sensitive spot in her neck, rubbing her clit against her shorts in an almost agonising circle.. “Say something, Ms Thea.” He said, his breathing already heavy. “Don't keep the old man waiting..” Thea licked her lips, she had to answer Butler John, she had to send him off! “G…good mor…morning..J…John.” She managed, barely able to steady her breathing before responding to him. “Good morning, Ms Thea. How did your night go?” Butler John asked. Then, his fingers, without breaking the kiss, slipped beneath the waistband of her shorts. A jolt shot through her. His fingers had brushed against her pussy sending a wave of sensation over her. Thea gasped into his mouth, her body arching into his touch, her legs which were already weak only got weaker... But he didn't touch her clothes, he just grazed it every now and then, torturing her. Her mind went completely blank, every thought, a moan escaping her. "Ms. Thea? Is everything alright?" John's voice sounded again. She needed him gone! Thea tried to tell John to go away, but her voice failed her. All she could manage was a choked sound, her breath ragged, as Seth's fingers teased her. Seth finally broke the silence, his lips lingering for a moment against hers before he pulled back just enough to look into her dazed eyes. His own eyes were dark with unfulfilled desire, he wanted her. Every inch of her and he wanted the man at the door gone as well. "John," Seth called. "Leave us. We'll be out shortly." There was a brief pause on the other side of the door, he didn't know Seth was also in there. "Very well, Mr. Seth. Apologies for the intrusion." The sound of footsteps quickly faded away. As soon as John was gone, Seth's mouth crashed back onto hers, even more fiercely than before. His hands were everywhere, exploring the curve of her hips, tangling in her hair, pulling her tighter against his hard body. Thea responded with equal fervor, her fingers digging into his scalp, her body molding to his. Aside from the general hum of the machines in the gym, Thea's ragged breaths and silent moans alongside Seth's heavy breathing and groans was all they could hear. His finger finally found her clit, rubbing it gently. Thea melted under his warm touch, her eyes going shut for a moment. Seth's head leaned against her forehead, his eyes staring at her and lips just inches away from hers. He liked seeing her like this, seeing her melt under his touch, moaning his name silently. It was all he lived for in this moment, all he wanted to hear.. A loud sound cut through the moment, forcing them both to stop briefly. Seth's phone was ringing. He ignored it, his fingers still keeping Thea on her toes but it rang again and again, ruining the moment. He groaned, pulling away from Thea with a visible effort. His breathing was heavy, mirroring her own. His eyes, still dark with passion, glared at the device as if it had personally offended him. He retrieved the phone, glancing at the caller ID, a flicker of irritation crossing his face. It was an important call, one he couldn't ignore. With a final, deep groan, Seth leaned down, pressing a hard kiss against Thea's forehead. His eyes met hers, almost in apology. "I have to take this." he rasped. Then, with one last, reluctant look, Seth turned and walked out of the gym, leaving Thea standing there, breathless and trembling. The scent of him lingering on her skin still and her body still thrummed with the unfulfilled desire. She bit her lips in annoyance, who the hell called anyways?! And they couldn't pick a different time to call?! Her eyes went over to her phone on the floor and she froze. Daisy. How could she have forgotten about her friend in the heat of the moment. She picked up her phone and to her shock, Daisy was still on. “Don't tell me you heard…all that.” Thea breathed, her chin flushed with embarrassment. “Oh. My. Goodness! THEA!!” Daisy squealed. She heard everything. Every bloody thing.The rain had turned the world into a blur of gray and shadow. He wasn't going to let him slip. Now that he had a child involved, he wouldn't let Donald slip away and let him haunt his family ever again. The chase ended at the old bridge just outside the city. Rain had begun to fall, the wind howling through the girders.“Donald!” Seth shouted, his voice echoing through the storm. “Stop!”He didn't until headlights cut through the darkness. Arian’s black SUV screeched to a stop across the slick asphalt, blocking his path. He slammed the door and ran forward, his breath forming white clouds in the cold night air.He had been following since he saw Donald run out of the house. Donald stood at the center of the bridge, coat soaked, hair plastered to his face. His hands trembled, but not from the cold. In one hand gleamed a knife, slick with rain and blood.“Donald!” Arian’s voice rang out like a warning. “It’s over. The police are already surrounding the place.”Donald turned his head

His heart pounded in his chest as she adjusted his tie, eyes staring down at her with more fear than she'd ever since in his eyes. She met his gaze, a smile on her lips. “What?” “I didn't know you were this..brave.” Thea chuckled. “There’s more to me than you know. And you're going to spend forever finding out.” “Is that a deal?” He smiled and she nodded, eyes glowing. The morning light fell softly across the kitchen, painting the marble counter in shades of gold. Thea was standing right in front of Seth, eyes fixed on his suit and then his tie before giving a satisfied nod. “You're good to go.” Seth glanced at the standing mirror behind her, crisp shirt, dark tie, hair pulled neatly back. He looked way better than he did weeks back. “I don’t have to go in today,” he said without meeting her gaze. She smiled faintly. “If you don't, we will never get this over with."Seth’s eyes met hers, calm but shadowed. “I just need to make sure everything stays in place. The police have
The air inside the courthouse was heavy, tinged with the sharp scent of polished wood, coffee from the vending machine in the lobby.It smelt of something else as well, anticipation and fear..Seth’s hand brushed against hers as they walked through the entrance, his grip firm and grounding.“We’ll be fine,” he whispered, though she knew it was more for her than for himself.“I hope so,” she murmured back, adjusting the lapels of her blazer.The courtroom was already buzzing. Reporters scribbled notes, cameras flashed, and the occasional whisper drifted across the rows of chairs. Thea’s chest tightened. She could feel every gaze on her, every expectation weighing down on her shoulders.Seth stayed close, he was going to keep her promise of keeping her safe. She had asked that they attend the trial; it would be their first public appearance after Celine's death. His fingers tightened in her as they settled down, waiting. The trial had already begun when they entered. The defendant, R
The first thing that hit him that morning wasn’t the light, it was the silence.The house felt too still, too quiet. The kind of calm that only came after a storm had exhausted itself. The curtains swayed gently, letting in fractured sunlight that painted lazy shapes across the bedroom floor. For a moment, Seth didn’t move. He just lay there, staring at the ceiling, letting the faint hum of the city seep through the walls.Is this the right thing to do? Coming back here? Would Celine forgive him for not giving her a proper goodbye? If he's going against Donlad, will the people he cares about be safe?The bed dipped beside him. A reminder that he wasn’t alone.Thea was curled up next to him, the sheets tangled around her waist, her hair a soft, chaotic halo on his chest. She was breathing evenly, one hand resting over his heart as if it belonged there. Seth’s fingers brushed over her knuckles lightly, careful not to wake her as if any firmer touch would break the illusion that she w
It's been three weeks. Donald was nowhere to be found, Celine had undergone autopsy and the police were doing their jobs. The rain began the moment the last words of the funeral service faded into the hollow silence of the cemetery.It was soft at first, hesitant drops tapping against the sea of black umbrellas. But soon, the sky broke open, heavy and merciless, as though the heavens themselves mourned for Celine Blackwood.Thea stood still under the gray downpour, her hand gripping the handle of her umbrella so tightly her knuckles whitened. Her heart sank with a sudden reality as Celine was lowered into her grave, she was really gone. She was battling a terminal illness but she was supposed to have more time. More time with her, more time to do everything she wanted to do. She could have met her grandchild….The scent of wet earth and roses hung in the air. Around her, people began to drift away. Family friends, old acquaintances, business partners who whispered condolences.Adam
Thea’s phone buzzed across the marble countertop for the fourth time that morning. She didn’t even need to look at the screen to know the name flashing there.Adam Balmero.She’d been ignoring his calls for days. After months of silence, after throwing her out of the family and replacing her with P
Thea's eyes flickered open to the sunlight that streamed into the room. She had expected to feel awkward, brittle after the night before, but instead she found the room strangely calm. She turned to her side, empty. Seth wasn't there but his spot was still very warm. He left not so long ago. Thea
Thea shuts her door quietly, eyes peeping down the corridor as her heart races wildly in her chest. It was quiet, not even the help was up. Quietly and barefoot, she moved across the cool marble floor, the hem of her silk robe grazing her calves. One step after another, and a desperate prayer that
Thea had just slipped into the women’s restroom between classes, grateful for a moment of quiet. The echo of running water muffled the campus noise outside. She stood at the mirror, brushing a stray lock of hair back into place. The tabloids were still buzzing, the whispers following her down ever
