登入Elena's Point Of ViewMy face went entirely neutral and cold at the mention of that woman. It was like a sudden, freezing sheet of ice had slid right over my expressions, locking every single muscle in place. The light, warm air that had been swirling in the room from the hot shower just completely evaporated, leaving behind a heavy, stale chill that settled deep in my chest."I'll send the driver to pick you guys up at your apartment," I said, my voice completely flat, stripped of every ounce of the playful energy I’d had just a few seconds ago."Wait, big sis, are you..."I didn't even let Heather finish her sentence. I just pulled the phone away from my ear and tapped the red button, ending the call with a sharp, aggressive flick of my thumb. I tossed the device onto the bed sheets, watching it bounce once before settling near the pillows."Great," I muttered under my breath, my hands balling into tight fists inside the deep pockets of my oversized grey hoodie. "There goes my good
Elena's Point Of ViewMy fingers froze against the dark cotton of his shirt, and my breath caught somewhere in the back of my throat. The way he looked at me in that moment… it wasn't the playful Jaxx from seconds earlier, the one who had been running around the bed like we were kids again. This was the solid, unyielding version of him, the one that made my heart perform a completely separate dance from the rest of my body. I could feel the shift in the air between us, heavy and charged with something unspoken. "I want you to be able to hold your own," Jaxx said, his voice dropping into a rough, quiet register that vibrated through his chest and into mine. He reached up, and his large, calloused thumb moved gently over the fading purple bruise on my shoulder. His touch was so incredibly light it felt like a silent apology, a wordless plea for forgiveness. The tenderness of it made my chest tighten. "I hated that I wasn't there before this happened, Elena. The fact that he even got p
Elena's Point Of ViewJaxx chuckled, the sound low and gravelly against my temple as his heavy arms slid around my waist from behind. He pulled me back until my spine pressed flush against his broad chest, his warmth seeping through the cotton of my shirt and settling deep into my bones. I could feel the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, strong and reassuring. "Why are you thanking me, Elena?" His breath fanned over the sensitive skin of my neck, sending a shiver down my spine that I couldn't quite suppress. I took a quiet, deep breath, letting my head drop back against his shoulder. The gesture felt natural, almost too natural, and that realization made my heart skip. For weeks, I'd kept my distance, built walls between us brick by brick. Now those walls seemed to crumble with alarming ease. My fingers came up to rest over his large hands, tracing the rough knuckles that told stories of violence I'd only glimpsed."For everything, Jaxx. For absolutely everything." The words tumbled o
Elena's Point Of ViewMy heart was accelerating so fast I was certain he could hear it ticking through the fabric of my sweater. It was an entirely new feeling… this terrifying, exhilarating weight in my chest that had absolutely nothing to do with fear and everything to do with the way he looked at me, like I was the only fixed point in his entire chaotic world. Like I mattered more than anything else. Like he'd rearrange his entire life around me if I asked. The realization was both thrilling and absolutely petrifying. "Stop saying nonsense," I huffed, my hand flying out to swat hard at his upper arm, needing to do something to break the overwhelming emotion building in my chest. The feeling was too big, too intense, and I didn't know what to do with it. Thwack. "Ouch," he lied smoothly, not even blinking as my palm hit his solid muscle. The corner of his mouth twitched with suppressed amusement. "I'm serious! Shut up," I muttered, turning away to open my car door just to hide t
Elena's Point Of ViewThe drive out to the hills had been a complete nightmare, mostly because Jaxx drove like a man who owned the asphalt and didn't give a single damn about the shock absorbers. The road winding up to his personal estate wasn't even properly paved in some sections; it was just a brutal stretch of jagged gravel, deep washboard ridges, and sudden potholes that sent my stomach leaping into my throat every three seconds.My car… the one we'd used to pack up the first wave of my life, rattled so violently I thought the dashboard might actually snap off and land in my lap. Jaxx kept one hand loosely on the steering wheel, his expression completely calm, while I sat in the passenger seat clutching the door handle like a woman hanging off a cliff. The contrast between his composure and my terror would have been comical if I weren't genuinely convinced we might not survive the ascent. Every time the tires slammed into a particularly nasty crater, the metal frame groaned in p
Graham's Point Of ViewLillian didn't leave right away, of course she didn't. She lingered by the door for three more agonizing minutes, shifting her weight from foot to foot while the baby began to wail against her chest.Finally, my father's voice cut through the tension, sharp and dismissive, ordering her to go. When she shuffled away at last, her slippers clicking softly against the cold marble floor, she glanced back once… a fleeting look of sorrow that pierced through my anger. The silence that crashed down in the living room felt heavier than a block of lead. Two of our private security guards practically carried me up the grand staircase, my feet dragging uselessly against the plush velvet runner. I wanted to tell them I could walk on my own, that I didn't need their help, but pride seemed like a luxury I couldn't afford. Every step sent waves of agony radiating through my leg, as if someone was driving a rusty nail straight up into my kneecaps.The guards' faces remained imp
Elena’s Point Of ViewHis words hung in the air like a command, like a promise, like a fucking dare; "I need to cum, baby. And I need your mouth."And God help me, I obeyed.Not because I had to.But because I wanted to.My body moved before my mind could catch up, my knees crawling closer to him o
Jaxx’s Point Of ViewThe world didn’t just tilt… it shattered.Not because she’d flipped us… though, fuck, the way she’d moved… fluid grace, raw power, like a goddamn storm given human form… had been enough to steal my breath and knock the fight clean out of me. No, it tilted because of the way she
Elena’s Point Of ViewI stared at him.At this hot, infuriating, stupid man.At the way his dark eyes burned into mine, his smirk so smug, so knowing, like he had already won. Like he knew I was his, even when I wanted to scream, even when I wanted to fight him. His body was pressed against mine, h
Jaxx’s Point Of View The room was quiet… too quiet, except for the soft, steady rhythm of her breath. Elena. My Elena.
