I threw a pillow at him in frustration. He caught it and put it down on the chair in front of the vanity. The corner of his lips curved in. He got back to his cufflinks. He was going to the office and I was staying behind at his English palace of royalty. It was just his other royal castle. My lips flattened in irritation. He slipped his arms in his coat. I was not bothered to be caught staring at him. He turned to me with a slight smile. He took my chin between his fingers and drew me up in a deep kiss. "Let me know if you have plans with your friend or anywhere." He whispered. His smile made my stomach flip. I hated that he could make me feel against my desire. "Or what?" I pressed my lips together more firmly. "I'll put guards around you," He straightened his back. "What!" A pounding headache was pressing against my temples, I rubbed my fingers over my temple, "That's insane," It was quite exasperating. No one c
At noon, I almost convinced him that I was feeling better and that he didn't need to be with me. It was an impossible job. But, he was convinced only to leave his guards behind. "Give me a call and I'll be on my way back to you," He said. Concern still clung to his handsome features. I nodded. He pulled me into a kiss. He made me feel alive. He got on his feet and did his cuffs. He grabbed his coat. My eyes never left him. He leaned as he kissed my cheek and turned to the door. A second later he was gone, tears lashed my eyes fiercely. He seemed icy at first, now he seemed more than anything. I didn't wanna name it love. I had feelings. The day wouldn't be far when I couldn't live without him. I slithered my hands on my cheeks. I sighed in defeat. I was pushing myself into a deep dark well. There was no way to come out. I felt a twinge of fear as my thoughts kept dragging me deep. 'Should I tell him? No! I shook my head. He would laugh at me.
We stood side by side, "Tell me. He wouldn't find me a husband." She said, scowling. She was looking scared. I filled my lungs inhaling deeply and breathed out slowly, "He won't." I said but I wasn't sure. She didn't need to panic over her thoughts. "I did want to deal with anything right now," She said. Suddenly, she looked exhausted. I couldn't decipher the abrupt change in her behavior. Yes, she must be upset but not so sad and frightened. There could be only one reason behind her fear. She liked someone. I dragged her in, "You have me, dear sister," I told her. She wasn't around when they dropped the bomb on me. I was content with my life now. But I could never push the dread of losing him. She smiled beautifully when I addressed her sister. She curled her arm around my shoulder and pulled me inside, "Yes, sister," She nodded. We walked through the house, wandering our gazes around but Uncle was nowhere to be seen, "Uncle, we're hom
I stayed in the office. I never hoped things would change so suddenly and fully. I wanted to stay with him. I needed some alone time to understand myself, and my feelings for him. I didn't wanna stay in doubt. I wanted to be sure. Trish's smile was idiotic on her face when Aerial told her about Edward's offer and her promotion, she deserved this. She's been with us from day one of our hotels. I glanced down at my ring. I kept telling myself to stay away from him, I couldn't ignore the pull toward him, it could be because I hadn't dated anyone. I did not know. I wanted time alone or away from him. I had told myself many times that anything between us could never work out, but I couldn’t seem to control myself around him. He felt like a magnet. I wanted to be with him. It could be bad or good. Only the future held the key to my answers. "We have Trish cover for us. What's you say? We should help Mom and Andria. They would like it," Aerial said wal
I needed to get a grip on myself. He was circling his index finger above my knee, though, his attention was on the road. I tried to steady my breathing but it was no good. It wasn't just hunger. I love him. My feelings were tormenting me to give them wings. Crimson crawled my cheeks. I turned to face the window, almost hiding my face from him. When I couldn't endure. I thought to ask him to stop. But he didn't need to know his effect on me. I didn’t know what to do with myself. I could feel every nerve in my body. I couldn't let this happen. I slapped my hand over his, swiveling my neck, I lifted my single brow, "What are you trying to do?" I asked, definitely not in a pleasant tone. He held my hand. His thumb began to rub the back of my skin. He was looking distracted, and seemed to have deep thoughts! "Trying to distract myself, sweetheart." He lifted my hand to his lips and kissed the back of my hand. He had a puzzled look
He pulled me in for a hug and kissed the top of my head before striding out of the room. I was already ready to go out. Mark was coming to pick me up. I hadn't told Edward anything. My phone rang. I swiped to answer, "Hi," I grabbed my clutch. "I'm waiting outside of your house," I heard his calm voice. "Yes, I'm coming." I headed out of the door. Edward's parents had invited us to the weekend. I wasn't interested in going when so much was going on in my life. I hadn't informed him that his mother wanted us to stay in their house for the weekend. Indeed, I didn't get the chance to tell him. My feet halted in my way when I saw Edward with Mark. I gulped and suddenly became scared as I hadn't told him anything. I felt his gaze on me. I walked over to them, "Hi," I said. They stopped talking when I reached them. Before I could utter another word, "I'm getting late for my meeting." He said. They shook hands. Edward slithered
My heart thundered wildly in my chest as I walked into the kitchen. I stared around in puzzlement. I didn't understand a thing here. But it wasn't out of the confusion of being in the kitchen. A lot of things happened in her life. I was around her but I couldn't detect a single thing. "You don't know a thing around you," She said leaning against the counter in the kitchen. "You're a good actress," I said, my voice full of sarcasm. "Like you," She shot back. She put pressure on her lips, forming a thin line. I glared at her, "I didn't get married. I wasn't pregnant." My voice raised, breaking the silence. She sighed, pulling herself away from the counter, "I'm sorry." she muttered. I shook my head, "You should have told me when you dated him the first day. I was stupid. I didn't notice. It could be a man instead of our business." I breathed in and exhaled, hoping to control my exasperation. " I just could
I felt myself growing closer to him. My gaze didn't leave him. He was sleeping calmly. It was such a peaceful sight to see him. I couldn't speak my emotions, they were growing over time. I didn't want to keep my feelings to myself any longer. They were my strength now. But once they jumped out of my lips. It would be troublesome. He wouldn't accept anything more than a physical. I bent down and placed a soft kiss on his cheek. I waited and he didn't stir. I pulled myself out of the mattress and walked out of the room. Everything was changing. I couldn't resist the pull. The wind ruffled my hair as I opened the door and stepped out. I planted my feet on the grass and stared up at the sky. I felt goosebumps on my arms. I folded them, pulling them closer to my body. The weather was changing. I needed to stop this, my feelings for him. He couldn't control me. I needed to get used to the fact that there was nothing in the future for me. I couldn't hurt
