Chapter 39: PrisonerNight’s P.O.VOne Week Later…“Why are you just sitting there staring at your breakfast? Eat!”I looked up at the man who called himself my father, and once again, thought about the hell I had been going through for the last few days.“I’m not hungry.” I sighed, leaning back in my chair.To be honest, this mansion, this large house with its heart of stone…it was slowly suffocating the life out of me and if I stayed here any longer…I was afraid I would become just like the inhabitants of this stone house. Stone cold statues that only knew business.My mother frowned from across the table, her makeup pristine even this early in the morning and not a single hair out of place. However, no amount of makeup could hide the look of disapproval in her dark brown eyes.“Night…if this is about you quitting that dorm, then you really need to grow up!” She sighed, picking up her coffee cup with perfectly manicured red nails. “We’re doing this for your own good. Your fiancé is
Chapter 40: ReunionNight’s P.O.V“Goodness, he is alive!” Was the first thing my friends told me as they all but pounced on top of me as soon as I stepped out of the car in front of my faculty.“Ow! Guys! That hurts!” I tried to warn them as their weight became too unbearable, but it was already too late and the three of us went tumbling to the ground all together.But even as my back hurt and I think I may have scraped my palm…the laughter echoing all around me instantly made me feel more welcome and at peace than I had felt in the entirety of last week.“Look at you fools,” Tanya shook her head, her brunette locks flying in the wind as she looked down at Landon, Trey and I still lying on the ground. “Get up before someone sweeps you off like trash!”“We’re up! We’re up!” Trey called out as he scrambled to his feet and then offered us a hand so we could get off the floor as well.Honestly, I didn’t mind the tackle one bit. If anything, it helped make me feel at ease now that I was w
Chapter 41: The Times that we MissedNight’s P.O.V“I was waiting for you.”I paused with my hands on either side of his head; his sudden confession leaving me breathless for a whole minute as I stared into his eyes, trying to decide if what I just heard was real or just a fragment of my imagination.“Wh-hat?” The words came out in a rushed stutter, my eyes boring into his for clarification.Suddenly, a sly smirk played on Kai’s lips as he took hold of my waist and sat up on the bed. The sudden shift in position made my straddle feel awkward and I before long, I found myself sitting on his lap, my arms now wrapped tightly around his shoulder as Kai touched his nose to mine in an affectionate gesture that I was completely unfamiliar with.“Surprised?” He spoke through a sigh, leaning forward so that his face was buried in the crook of my neck, and he took in a whip of my scent. “Hmmm…you smell so good.”I felt his lips vibrate against my neck, and that sensation went straight to places
Chapter 42: Unfulfilled DesiresNight’s P.O.VI tasted myself on his lips, as Kai ran his tongue on my lower lip before biting down on it to elicit a gasp out of me.Taking advantage of the situation, he thrust his tongue into my mouth and our tongues collided in a battle for dominance as his hands squeezed my waist, before coming between us to pinch one of my nipples.I stalled for a second, and he took advantage of it once again, his tongue exploring every nook and cranny of my mouth before we both broke the kiss for lack of air.My lungs burned from the lack of oxygen, and when I looked up at Kai, he wasn’t in any better shape either. His eyes were glazed over as he panted and his shirt stuck to his skin.It was so warm inside the room, but it had nothing to do with the weather.Finally, he got off the bed to discard off his own shirt, followed by his pants and boxers, until he was standing completely naked in front of my eyes.Fuck!The man was gorgeous. Golden skin, that tousled
Chapter 43: Dirty Little Secret Kai’s P.O.V I rolled off of Night’s body, his skin sleek with perspiration. The tiny bed didn’t provide enough space for either of us to rest properly, and it was a bit frustrating, but the warmth of Night’s skin was still a pleasant respite from the cold bed next to mine. My breathing evened out slowly, just as Night’s hand wrapped around my torso, pulling me closer to his body so that he could lay his head on my shoulder. His eyes were closed, a peaceful expression on his face despite the labored breath. I reached out with my fingers and wiped at the tear stain from the corner of his eyes, watching as his eyelids fluttered open and his hazel eyes met mine. “You’re not gonna say something cheesy, are you?” I sighed, rubbing my forehead against his. “You were good for a first timer.” Night chuckled. “Just good?” I raised my eyebrows. “Fine…you were great.” “Best you ever had?” “Don’t push it.” He groaned. A laugh escaped my lips as I cuddled
Chapter 44: Unexpected SurpriseNight’s P.O.V“Did you get everything?” Kai asked as he rushed around the room, trying to find out of any of my belongings have been left behind.“Seriously, Kai…if we hadn't just been having sex, I’d say you’re way to eager to get me out of the room.” I sighed at his attempt to find stuff under the cabinets and even under the bed. “I got everything, Kai. And if there is anything left, then just keep it as a souvenir.”“I’d rather keep you than your underwear.” He grinned, successfully retrieving an old underwear from under the bed and hauling it at me. “But I don’t want to agitate your father and get you locked up again.”I pursed my lips, thinking about how we were going to proceed from here on out.Worry gnawed at me that for Kai, it might become a matter of ‘out of sight, out of mind’, especially now that we already slept together. I knew I was being unreasonable in ways I couldn’t fathom, but I had every right to be worried. Especially since we wer
Chapter 45: Doomed from the BeginningNight’s P.O.V“R-Rosalie?” I blinked, not quiet believing my eyes. “Is that really you?”“Wow…” She looked at me with a bit of disappointment. “I was expecting a more enthusiastic response from my fiancé.”“I…er…” I had no idea what to say. My heart was thundering so loud, both from shock and fear, that I could hardly hear any other sounds around me.Rosalie Clearwater…the woman that I had been engaged to since I was born…was standing right in front of me…in my condo…past eight o’ clock in the evening.How the fuck did she even get in here? And what on earth was she doing here now of all times?“Weren’t you supposed to get here next month?” I frowned. “That’s what my mother told me.”“Oh, I know!” She exclaimed with a grin, taking my hand and hauling me inside, the door slamming shut behind us automatically.She then went ahead and made herself at home, before patting the space next to her on the couch for me to sit. “But I got here early since my
Chapter 46: Something FishyKai’s P.O.V“Woah? Am I dreaming?” Was the first thing my mother said to me as soon as she opened the door and found me standing at the doorstep of my parent’s house.“Apparently not,” I gave her a sheepish smile as she moved aside to let me in. “Is Kia home?”“Yes, and so is your father.”I stopped halfway while taking off my shoes. “Dad’s home?” I looked back at my mom, who had just shut the door behind me.“Yes,” she smiled gently as she beckoned me inside. “He came home for the week. He’ll be leaving again next week.”Dad was a surgeon, whose profession kept him away from the house most of the year, so it was indeed a rare sight to see him home. I was happy to know that he was going to stay home for the entire week, so that my mom won’t feel as lonely. But that also meant that my conversation with Kia would be delayed further.Mom brought me to the dinner table where Kia and dad were already seated. But even though dad thought it was a pleasant surprise
