How was I going to confront Carl? How would I explain to him the things he had discovered in my bag?"Are you sure?" She quizzed."It's okay." I shoved her toward the door, smiling to mask the jitters that had consumed me....As I stood in the lobby of the gym, shifting from one foot to the other, I waited. She had run to the bathroom, leaving me anxious and also unsure if I would come across Bane."Finally." I sighed when she emerged."What?" She looked at me, her eyes squinting with a look so strange. "I was in there for like two minutes.""Long enough." I shoved her toward the locker room to change...As I slipped out of my street clothes and into my gym wear, the anxiety within me had increased tremendously. The lies I had created in my mind to tell Carl had now seemed ridiculous and I was again unsure
"So what is this meeting about?" Bane pushed and shoved through thick tree areas. "I'm hoping to find out." I didn't have much of an answer to give him.Truthfully, I was just as lost as he was. I was uncertain as to why he wanted to finally meet me however I found this meeting well overdue."I remember this place." Bane slowed at the bottom of the mount. He glanced up at the peak of the hill, the sight obviously bringing back memories."Cabin." I exhaled."I came here to speak to you when Renee was taken by Kane." I nodded in agreement. The same cabin she was taken from.It was a safe haven and also a place I found fit to meet at. Secluded and isolated from the rest.We walked up the hillside. Our voices, our moves, quiet enough to go unheard. This meeting was planned however we knew to never let our guards down. Bane followed closely behind as we made it up to the cabin porch.I opened the door, finding myself face to face with complete and utter darkness. It was the stench that mad
Exhaustion had kicked in some time ago. With my body forced endure an intense pre workout, I was not sure how Renee assumed I had the energy or drive to step into the combat ring."How about you get in there?" I asked, fanning myself with a small company flyer I had found lying around.She stood beside me, her eyes peering into the ring where a facility trainer and another guest engaged in a simple hand to hand exercise."Fine." Her hands resting on her waist, she approached the ring once they were finished with their session."Hello?"The male spun around to find Renee staring up from beneath him."Yeah?" He tightened his boxing glove."Um my friend and I didn't know that we had to sign up earlier to step into the ring." I rolled my eyes, sucking my teeth when I heard how gentle her voice had become. "Is there any way we can, you know, get a few lessons in?"The guy seemed to look sorry for a pouting, helpless Jess. I could tell he had never met the real woman behind those pleading e
Men! Such fools. I didn't even want to know what Bane was doing to get some answers. I cringed before I slipped out of his arms."Look who would like to know? The man who allowed me to go." My arms crossed."I thought you would want to go Renee." He kicked out of his shoes before he grabbed the television remote. Another excuse. This man rarely even watched television unless a game was on. "You thought wrong." I reached for the remote control.On instinct he grabbed my hand, his grip tightened as his eyes scanned over my bare hand. "What?""Where is your ring?" He seemed concerned, almost displeased. "Safely in my jewelry box." I snatched my hand out of his hold."Why is it not on your finger?" He pressed."Why would I wear it to the gym?""Why wouldn't you?" He stood up. Steam pushed from his frame. "Because it is pointless.""I. Don't. Care." His arm slithered around my aching waist.Oh I get it. This was not about me wearing my engagement ring out. It was about where I was requeste
I waited. I waited some more. I glanced back toward the gym doors, waiting for Renee to finally emerge. My feet kicked up on the dash, I pulled out my phone to shoot Brent a text.-We need to talk later. Immediately I received a message in return.-What did I do? My eyes rolled at his assumption that he was in some sort of trouble.-Nothing!The passenger door swung open. I quickly stuffed my phone into my pocket right before Renee sat down. Are you okay? Where the hell is your bag?" I asked when I saw the balled up clothing in her arms.She shook her head with no verbal response in return. I started up the car, glancing one last time into her direction before I pulled out of the parking lot...Renee's personality had become questionable. Before, she was depressed, stressed and also miserable. They were a few emotions I could not blame her for feeling on the account of her current situation.Now, something was strange about her. Her sadness, her depression, had become something differ
"No. That is not what I mean. I'm talking about that bag you had the last time you were here.""What about it?""Cut the bulshit." He ordered."It's nothing." I wanted him to forget it. I wanted him to go about his day, his life forgetting it ever happened."Why does this even keep resurfacing?""Because I want to know what has your head in the gutters? You come to a gym with a bag full of...junk and can't even explain yourself.""Because I don't have to explain myself to you. What part of that don't you understand?"The narrow hall had grown cold and quiet. By the look on his face, I wasn't sure how he took my comment, which I found to be true. What did I owe him? Nothing. There was nothing within this gym membership that said that I was required to give him my personal life."Follow me." He turned, his squinting eyes digging into me before he begun to walk.I contemplated on which I should do; follow him toward an unknown destination or gather the rest of my things and leave this pl
EMMA’S POVI woke with a start, heart slamming against my ribs. The dream dissolved the second my eyes opened, something dark, tangled and forbidden but the heavy ache in my chest refused to leave. I dragged a hand down my face, exhaling shakily, then swung my legs over the side of the bed.The hou
EMMA'S POVTears welled in my eyes, and I squeezed them shut, holding them back. I just wanted to go back to my old life. I curled up under the covers, my body trembling as the tears silently fell. The weight in my chest grew, making it hard to breathe with every second that passed. I shook with qu
The slut didn’t need to be told twice. The second the order left my lips, she scrambled forward on all fours like the desperate little whore she was, back arched high, thighs splayed wide, her slick folds already glistening and dripping onto the dark hardwood floor beneath her. The sight should hav
After walking out of Alexander's office, I was so angry and the only thing I wanted was to talk to my mother.My hands curled into fists at my sides as I yanked my phone out of my pocket and dialed. The call barely rang twice before my mother answered. "How are you my lovely daughter?, Are you gett
