LOGINA couple of months have passed, and I continued pestering him. Embarrassingly enough, none of my efforts seemed to get through to him. He remained hard to tame.
Lana: Babe, I saw your ex at the mall today! Look who he was with.I felt my jaw tighten when I saw the photo she sent me. It was Gavin and my sister. Her hand was slung over his arm.Annoyed, I called her.“Are they still there?” I asked.“Yep. Seems like they just arrived. They’re practically dripping with sweetness. Ugh, it’s so cringe.”I rolled my eyes. Sweet my ass.I grabbed my car keys and drove to the mall where they were. It didn’t take long to find them—I knew Ariella would take him to the boutique to have him buy her expensive clothes.I didn’t approach them right away. I lost count of how many times I rolled my eyes just watching the two of them.“He’ll end up cheating on you too,” I murmured bitterly.All the things he’s d“Hey! Open the damn door. I have good news!” I shouted, pounding insistently against Xerces’s front door.He swung it open, irritation written all over his face. “What?”“I have good news,” I repeated, brushing past him without waiting for an invitation and stepping inside.He closed the door behind me with a sharp click. “And what exactly is that?”“I saw your ex earlier this morning.”His jaw clenched. Instead of asking me about the details of how I met her, he asked, “What did you do?”Was he seriously expecting me to hurt her?“Relax. I didn’t do anything to her,” I said, rolling my eyes. “You’re acting like I’d jump at the chance to ruin her life the second I see her.”He didn’t look convinced. His eyes stayed narrowed, wary.“We exchanged a few words after I introduced myself to her,” I continued, leaning casually against the wall. “And guess what? She got subtly jealous. I knew it. She still has feelings for you,” I proudly said.“Why would she?” he asked, his voice flat.“Beca
My body was soaked in the bathtub. I played with the wine glass in my hand as I replayed the scenario that happened yesterday at Xerces’s house.I could still vividly picture the face he made as I took him in my mouth fully. Brows furrowed together, jaw clenching, and lips slightly parted as he tried to catch his breath. The sound of him moaning my name still lingered in my ears.I caressed my hair as I remembered the way his hand gripped it tightly while I sucked him deeper. I muttered a soft curse and sipped my wine. Just remembering what happened was enough to turn me on.I rose from the bathtub, water dripping down my body. I set the glass aside and reached for a towel.I got dressed and prepared myself for work. Xerces and I ended up leaving the house at the same time. I was about to talk to him, but he quickly got into his car and sped off.***I stopped by a café to grab coffee before heading to work when I suddenly bumped into someone. The cup tilted in my hand, but thankfull
I wrapped my arms around his neck and moved my lips as well. His hand was warm against my jaw and chin.His kisses weren’t rough, but they were passionate. I was sober, but his kisses were drowning me in drunkenness. My mind was so hazy, and all I could think about right now was the way his lips felt on mine.He cupped my buttocks and lifted me up to sit on the backrest of the couch. He caressed my legs. My mouth parted when he fondled my breasts on top of my clothes. Soft moans escaped my mouth as he sucked on my skin.“Do not leave marks,” I whispered.He didn’t listen and continued what he was doing. I wrapped my legs around him and pushed him closer to me. I heard him growl as I felt his bulge.Just as I thought we were going to have sex, he broke the kiss. We were both breathing heavily, catching our breaths.My eyes were heavy as I looked at him. Meanwhile, he kept his intense gaze locked on mine.“Sera is a good kisser. She wouldn’t be jealous of you if you didn’t know how to k
My gaze went past him. Xerces was standing there, his hands in his pockets. His eyes were cold as he stared at us.Gavin tilted his head toward Xerces’ direction. One side of his lip lifted, as if he were not pleased.He let out a low, mocking laugh. “So here comes my fucking scheming brother.”Xerces’ face didn’t even flinch, completely unaffected. He strode over and took Gavin’s hand off my arm.“The next time you fucking lay your hand on my girlfriend, my fist will land on your face,” he threatened.His words made Gavin smirk. “You’re ridiculously full of yourself. Is that because you’ve managed to snag one of my exes again? Sorry to burst your bubble, but she’s just using you to move on from me,” he said cockily.My jaw tightened. Rather than respond to his brother, Xerces looked at me.“Let’s go, love,” he said softly.He led me to his car and opened the door for me.“Wait for me here. I’ll just get our things inside, okay?”I nodded quietly, staring into nothing, lost in my thou
I turned my phone on and messaged Xerces about my plans for tomorrow. Ruelle: Clear your schedule tomorrow. We’re going somewhere. 10 a.m. onward. He replied almost right away. Xerces: What for? Ruelle: I heard Gavin is taking my sister out on a date tomorrow. It took him a while to answer. Xerces: You want me to cancel everything I have going on just to go along with your craziness? I couldn’t see his face, but I could picture the irritation all over it. I could only sigh at his nagging. Ruelle: Please? Ruelle: I’ll pay for your time. Tell me your price. Xerces: Can you afford two hundred thousand? I gasped. That was way too much! Ruelle: That’s a lot, you asshole! Any discounts? Xerces: None. Take it or leave it. I rolled my eyes. Reluctantly, I had no choice but to agree. The next morning, I woke up early and got ready. I wore a black silky dress, curled my normally straight hair, and put on my signature red lipstick. I hurried downstairs when I heard the doorbell r
That night, I brought some alcohol to his place. It was actually my friends whom I invited first for a drink, but they declined, saying they were busy. The good thing was that Xerces lived just across from me, so I could pester him anytime I wanted. “I’ve got a deal. We’ll compete on how many drinks we can finish. Whoever wins takes a hundred thousand,” I challenged. He grinned. “You picked the wrong person. I have a high tolerance.” I smirked. “Don’t be so sure! I don’t get drunk easily either.” “Mm. Okay. Get your money ready then.” He filled his glass and drank it in one go. I drank my first shot too, the burn sliding down my throat. I marked every glass I finished on my phone to keep track. He might try to trick me. “Can you still go on?” he asked after a while. I peeked at his phone to see how many he’d already had. I frowned when I saw he had twelve shots while I was still at nine. “You’re cheating, aren’t you?” I accused him. He grinned and shook his head, chuckling
