"Girl come on, it's just a few drinks and we'll be back home before you even know it" Mia whines plopping down close to me, I just give her the side eye"That was what you said three nights ago and I almost had sex with that skinny disgusting guy, because I was so drunk he looked like Chris Hemsworth" I said and she just burst out laughing, I cringed recalling the stupid memory"I'm not going out with you, besides I'm starting my internship tomorrow and I don't wanna go late or go with a hangover" I tell her focusing on the movie I was watching."C'mon Rissa, please, it's just a few drinks and I promise I'll be with ya all the time so you don't get too drunk" she says giving me puppy dog eyes, I groan out because I can't really resist her.Mia is my best friend and roommate, we've been living together since our first year at college, she's an African American with dark long hair, her big brown eyes are always looking so sexy and damn Mia has the body of a goddess, she has a very fine ass and her boobs are round and always standing.She has a very beautiful skin and sometimes it makes me jealous just a tiny bit, Mia is really beautiful and I can say sometimes I wish I had her kind of body.She can get just about any man she wants without even breaking a sweat, unlike me that has to severely work for it, not that I'm looking for a man tho."Fine, one drink Mia and that's it" I tell her and she squeals and hugs me tight before getting up."Yesss, now come on let's get you dressed and then we'll be on our way" she says pulling me up and I just follow her with a smile on my face as I shake my head.___________________________________________The club wasn't really packed that much but it was packed with people, we managed to get in tho, I was putting on a very short sequins gown, Mia's idea not mine.She was putting on a white top with black leather skirt, I can comfortably say we both look like sluts but we didn't care.I didn't feel uncomfortable in this dress because I was used to putting on really short things, so this was even far better than what I'd wear to work.Talking about work, I think I had to quit and focus on my internship, I had enough savings to last me till I'm done with it and plus I heard the company I would be interning with would pay me like a regular staff.I didn't know how true that rumor is but I pray it's true because I really need the money if I'm going to quit my part time job and focus on the internship.We both walked to the bar area of the club and I ordered tequila while Mia went for sex on beach, her favourite, it would of be a matter of time before she goes off on her own, I'm sure of it."Here you go ladies" the bartender slides our drinks over to us on the table and I give him a nod while Mia tell him a thank you and we both take sips from our drinks.How she even managed to get us in is still a surprise to me, she always gets us in clubs using fake IDs, we were kind of both below drinking age but you'd never know because we had rather good statues.I was 19 while Mia was almost 20, in a few weeks tho, yeah I know we were both a bunch of teenagers but we looked nothing like teenagers.A few drinks in and I can tell Mia is a bit drunk but I'm just tipsy"Come on let's go dance" she say trying to drag me but I stand my ground"Not now Mia, you said drinks, you didn't mention anything about dancing" I said and she just pouts"What's the fun in coming to a club without dancing"? She asks flipping her hair making me roll my eyes at her."You go ahead, I'm good" I tell her over the loud music and she just looks at me for a good minute before snorting, I know she's drunk already so I'll be the responsible one and watch out for her."Whatever, you're so boring" she says walking away and I just laugh lightly at her childishness, which is highly sponsored by a few shots of sex on beach.I take a few sips from my drink, suddenly I feel like someone's watching me, I can feel eyes on me and it's making me a bit uncomfortable.I turn around so I'm facing the dance floor and I rake my eyes through the crowd but I don't see anyone, I spot Mia dancing and laughing with a guy, I just shake my head with a smile.So much for sticking with me all through the night, I get that sudden feeling again like I'm being watched so I quickly scan the crowd but I don't find anyone.My eyes moves from the crowd and I look through each of the tables occupied and after a few looks my eyes land on a very handsome young man and he was staring right back at me.He was blonde, his gaze sharp and intense, he was putting on a black leather jacket over a black round neck he had on, paired with a blue jean, he was sitting but I could tell he was really tallThere was a tattoo on the side of his neck and from where I sat facing him, I could tell the tattoo ran all the way into his body.The club lights were colored but I could see the color of his eyes, sea blue and captivating.He was still looking at me with so much intensity, I could actually feel myself sweating, he looked a bit older than I am because of the matured looks on his face.He had just a slight stubble on his lower face, I was still staring and didn't realize he had gotten up and was walking towards where I was sitting.He got to where I was sitting and he sat on the stool Mia was sitting before with his back to the dance floor while I just sat beside him."What's a pretty lady like you doing sitting here all by yourself"? He asked with his sweet, gruff and husky voice, it literally made me wet my pants.I looked at him to see he wasn't looking at me but I know he was talking to me"Oh boy" I muttered out and he just looked at me and cocked his brow"You don't buy it"? He asked and I just shook my head"Nope, try something else" I said and he just smirked at me"Where's your boyfriend"? he asked facing me and I just almost rolled my eyes at him, even though I was a hot mess I had to act cool"Geez, you think if I had a boyfriend, he'd let me out dressed like this"? I asked and he just shrugged and looked at me head to toe and trust me I could see the lust in his eyes."Good point, but still doesn't answer my question, are you here alone"? He asked and I turned back to facing the dancefloor"No" I said nodding my head towards Mia "I'm with her" and he turned to look at her and nodded his head"Girlfriend then"? He asked and I snorted"Do I look like I swing that way"? I asked and he shrugged again before licking his very captivating lips"You never know until you try" he said nonchalantly"Well I'll have you know that I love dick as much as the girl next door, so no I don't swing that way" I told him and he just chuckled making me look at him, he looked more handsome with this smile on his face."Point made" he told me "So why were you staring at me the other time"? He asked Making me cock my brows at him"You were staring at me first" I said matter of fact"Yes, yes I was" he answered honestly and he was still facing me"So why were you staring at me"? I asked and he just kept on looking into my eyes, my palms were sweaty and I was hot but I wouldn't let it show how much of an effect he had on me."What if I told you I want to fuck you" he blurted out not breaking eye contact, I tensed at his bluntness and also I think my panties got more wet and probably dripping because it was hot hearing him say something like that.I was matching his stare because I didn't want him to know how wet I was just hearing him talk like that."And what if I told you I had the same thought while looking at you"? I pressed and I watched his eyes darken with raw lust, I almost gulp because now I was trying to press my legs together to stop the aching between my legs.I've never wanted to have anyone fuck me like I want this handsome stranger to.He got up from the stool and stood in front of me, he was so tall and his chest was looking firm and toned, he looked down at me and used his hands to stroke my cheek.He bent low and put his lips directly to my ears making me gasp out lowly, my breathing was getting hard, I had never felt this much sexual pull to anyone."Then let's get out of here Red" he muttered lowly making me gulp, but I stood up regardless and he put his hands on my lower back and led me outIt was like he was controlling me of some sort but I didn't care, I followed him out and he stopped in front of a very expensive looking sports car, he opened the car door for me and I got inHe did the same and zoomed off, I could see the dent in his pants, making me wonder if I had as much effect on him as he did on me.__________________________Okay, first chapter doneDo comment your thoughts and vote PleaseThis book is a part of a family series, but it can be read as a stand alone.Clarissa's POV"Alex, come out of there right now, don't make me come get you" I yelled out to my 3 year old daughter"No mommy, I want Daddy" she whined out from inside the little tentI grumbled out, why is she so stubborn, I don't remember being this stubborn"Baby, daddy's busy and can't come get you" I tried to reason but she didn't even budgeOn cue, the back door opened and Tristan walked out, even after 3 years together, he still manages to steal the air from meI breathe out "oh thank God, can you please get your daughter to leave this stupid tent, her food is getting cold" I mutter out and he just laughed"Angel, come out, mommy needs you to come eat" he voiced out and I heard her squeal before she ran outside, I rolled my eyes at her as she jumped on her father."Daddy" she squealed out"Angel, your mommy tells me you don't want to eat" he says looking at her and she just pouted"I want you to eat with me daddy" she whined"But you know daddy's busy" he said pushing her hai
Tristan's POV"Baby, she'll come around, she's just hurt, pregnancy can be scary you know" mom said calmlyI just told her about Rissa, at first she was happy and excited until I told her about what I said, she almost smacked my head."Mom she doesn't want to see me, what am I going to do"? I asked sadly "she thinks I don't love her, but I do, with all my heart" I tell her"Honey keep trying and she'll see that you do love her, be like your father, relentless" she says with a smile "if there's one thing your father is good at is being relentless and I see you have that trait, you got her to be yours before, you can do it again Tristan" she tells me putting her hand on mine"But I'm scared mom" I tell her softly"I know baby, you'll be fine, get your woman and your child back" she says with a smile before pecking my cheek "I gotta rest honey, I'm tired" she says getting up and going upstairs.I relax back on the couch with a sigh, she's right, I really should get my woman back I miss
Tristan's POV"Why do you look like that man"? Ethan asked the moment I walked into their home, I just breathe out before sitting downI had just left Rissa's place after waiting for over an hour hoping she'd come outside so I can talk to her but no luck."Where's Ava"? I asked and Ethan just raised his brows and I looked away uninterested, I'm not really in the mood for any funny games"Baby, Tristan is here to see you" he yelled to her in the kitchen and she muttered something"No asking about Tilda huh"? He asked teasingly and I just breathe out.Ava walked out of the kitchen with a towel in her hands "Hey Tris, what's up"? She asked sitting beside her husband, I looked at them and wondered, why can't my own life be as simple and easy as theirs.From the onset it has always been complicated for me"I messed up, I messed it up big time" I whispered out and I see them both look at me with confusion"What do you mean Tris, don't tell me you cheated on her again"? Ethan asked and I jus
Clarissa's POVWith just that one word, he retracted his hands from my face like it was on fire."What"? He asked looking at me "Tell me you're joking Red" he said still looking at me as if to actually confirm if I'm joking."I am pregnant Tristan" I repeated looking back at him"What do you mean you're pregnant, how? When"? He rushed out "What do you mean how, I am telling you what the doctors told me and you're asking how"? I whispered out"I thought you were on pill, so how the fuck are you pregnant"? He asked getting up"Well apparently, the pill isn't 100% efficient and I may have missed my dosage one time" I said matching his tone.This isn't how I imagined this to go but the sooner the better"You can't be pregnant now Rissa, at least not now" he voiced out and I scoffed"You think I don't know that"? I almost yelled"Well apparently you didn't know it enough to be careful, you should have been more careful" he gritted out making me look at him wide eyes"I should have been mo
Tristan's POVI didn't know she was going to kiss me like that, one minute we were talking and the next, her lips were on mine.I literally felt my skin crawl with disgust, making me wonder how on Earth I ever had anything to do with her She looked so fake and I felt bile rise up my throat, Shantel.That was her nameShe's nothing like my Red, she was one of my many one night stands that never got the memo that I'm not interested in them in any way.I only looked up after I saw the sinister smile on her face, I knew she had played me right into her game, Rissa had seen it and from where she saw it, it didn't seem like she forced me.I breathe out and run my hands through my face, my mind was all over the place with so many thoughts.I had only seen her like twice today, at home when I took my bath in the bathroom and when she came to drop the schedule on my table and both times she wasn't smiling at all.My office door opened and Ethan walked in, he scrunched his face upon seeing min
Clarissa's POV"Are you sure you're okay baby"? He asked for the millionth time tonight and I just nodded"I'm fine Tris, I was just a little bit dizzy okay" I assured him putting my hand on his arm, he still looked worried."I guess it's the stress from the work I'd been doing all week"I said referring to the whole event we had to plan, well mostly myself and Ava because the boys were too busy to help out.I had been feeling weak and dizzy all week, I just haven't really had enough rest, and Maya has been complaining that I take some time off work, it's almost time for my internship to end so the workload has become much.Also I asked Tristan not to give me any sort of special treatment because we were dating now."Can I borrow your date for a few minutes"? I heard a rather gruff voice say beside me and I almost jumped before looking back and seeing an older guy, not too old but older than Tristan.I gave him a weak smile before looking over to Tristan "I just need to discuss some bu
