_Aurora’s POV_

I stepped into the room, head high, spine straight, heart hammering in my chest. My dress was simple, elegant—black silk that clung in all the right places without screaming for attention. My hair was pinned back neatly, makeup flawless.

Every detail carefully calculated. I wasn’t just attending a business dinner. I was making a statement: I belonged here, and I was capable.

I kept my eyes forward as Damien moved past me, exchanging pleasantries with other executives. He didn’t

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   Brothers

    _Aurora’s POV_“This woman is stupid,” Elena announced for the fifth time in ten minutes, letting out an exaggerated sigh. I looked away from the television, turning my focus to her. “How so?” I asked, my brow coming up questionably.Elena turned around to face me, her hands spread out in front of her. I almost smiled at how animated she looked. “Okay look. You hear a scream, in a lonely road, at night. What do you do?” She asked. I didn’t even need to think about it much.“I’d go check it out.” I shrugged my shoulders. Wasn’t that the most obvious answer? Elena’s eyes widened as she stared at me crazily, I could see her questioning my senses and I once again shrugged. “Why the fuck?” She questioned. And I know, it seems stupid yes? But- think about it from my point of view.“What if somebody needed help?”I won’t be able to live with myself if I could have saved someone in help and I ignored. “What if somebody wanted to murder you?” Elena shot back, shaking her head at me. “

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   Prettier

    _Aurora’s POV_The first thing I felt when I woke up was regret.The second thing was embarrassment. Pure, unfiltered, soul-crushing embarrassment.I groaned and buried my face deeper into the pillow.God.Why was I alive?Why had nobody smothered me with a pillow during the night?That would have been the merciful thing to do.Because now I had to wake up and remember everything.Every single thing that happened yesterday. From Damien calling me, to Nikolai telling me to cry. And then the fact I had completely collapsed in the kitchen. I let out another groan and rolled onto my back.The memory hit me immediately.His arms around me. His hand on my back. His voice telling me I could cry.I pulled a pillow over my face.No. Nope.Absolutely not.I refused to think about it.Maybe if I ignored it hard enough it would disappear.Maybe yesterday never happened. Maybe I had hallucinated the entire thing.I tried to think of a different explanation that seemed healthier to believe Afte

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   Cry

    _Aurora’s POV_My smile vanished the second I saw the number on my screen. I didn’t need it to be saved to recognize it. For a moment, everything around me seemed to blur.The music. The voices. The laughter coming from the crowded bar.All of it faded into the background and my stomach twisted painfully. How did he get my number?“Aurora?” Elena’s voice sounded distant as she stared at me, trying to figure out what was wrong.I swallowed hard before snatching the phone from her hand.There was no way.No fucking way. This was him, maybe it was my father. I’d even be better off believing my father was calling me than he was. Not after everything he had done. My pulse hammered violently against my ribs as the screen continued lighting up.I could feel Nikolai’s eyes pinned on me the entire time. The shift in my expression must have been obvious because the amusement on his face disappeared completely.“Aurora?” He called out, but my eyes were pinned on the phone and I forced my l

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   Embarrassed

    _Aurora’s POV_Shit.I thought as u stared at the man who looked like he was few seconds away from ending me. My lips parted and closed as I thought of an apology, but nothing was willing to come out. I’m screwed.He turned to look at me, and I swear to God I almost gasped. This man looked sexy. His hair was cut, tattoos drawn all over his head. His dark eyes burned into me, threatening to read deep into my soul. And I swallowed hard. “Are you just going to stare at me?” He asked, his deep voice sending vibrations through my body. “Your ckothes isnt the only thing wet right now.”The words were out of my mouth befpre I could stop it. Silence.The silence rhat followed after, was completely horrifying. I felt my soul leave my body as I wondered what the fuck I had just said. A loud gasp echoed from somewhere in the room and I was certain it didnt come drom me. What the fuck did I just say? My eyes widened so fucking wide thay they started to hurt.No. No, no. I did not jus

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   No fucking way

    Damien’s POV“The number you are trying to call does not exist.”The robotic voice echoed through my penthouse again, like it wasn’t currently driving me insane.I stared at the phone pressed against my ear for a few seconds after the call disconnected, my jaw tightening harder with every second of silence.Then I dialed her number again.Because maybe this time it would ring.Maybe this time Aurora would answer and immediately start yelling at me for calling her too much.Maybe this time I would hear her voice again.Instead, the same message repeated itself.“The number you are trying to call does not exist.”Something ugly twisted inside my chest.I ended the call and dialed again anyway.I knew how pathetic this looked. I knew a sane person would stop after the first attempt. But every time that automated voice answered instead of Aurora, it felt wrong in a way I couldn’t explain.Aurora was loud when she was angry.She was emotional when she was hurt.She slammed doors, rolled he

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   Oh. Shit.

    _Aurora’s POV_The music became louder the deeper I moved into the crowd.People laughed around me while servers rushed between tables carrying drinks and food with terrifying speed.How did they do this without falling?I nearly collided with someone twice within thirty seconds.One man smiled at me as I passed.Another openly stared at my legs.I immediately hated him.Actually, I hated most men in bars.Too many wandering hands.Too much confidence.Too much alcohol making them think women existed for entertainment.By the time I reached table six, I was already irritated.Four men sat around the booth laughing loudly while empty glasses covered the table.One of them looked up when I approached.And whistled. Oh absolutely not.I smiled tightly.“What can I get you?”The blond man leaned back slowly, eyes dragging down my body in a way that instantly made my skin crawl.“What do you recommend?”Therapy.I recommend therapy.Instead, I kept smiling through the irritation.“The vodk
