Today, I woke up on the bathroom floor stark naked.How I got there, what I went there to do, and why the hell I am naked remains a mystery.It seems rather realistic to assume that I slipped and fell when I went to take a bath. Quite unlikely because I don't usually go under the showers at such an ungodly hour even if I am working with time for that day. But no matter how much I try to see it as less of a big deal, the idea that my body system is malfunctioning won't stop plaguing my thoughts; so since morning, I have been a little bit disconnected from reality.I believe a normal human being sleeps and wakes up on a couch or bed. But I, Adelina Marrow, decided the best place to sleep is the cold floor of the bathroom. "You are gonna hurt yourself, Adelina!" an alarming shriek from Mom causes me to jump in fright.My eyes snap toward the direction of her voice only to catch her dashing to me at full speed, eyes wide and aghast. Alarmed, my gaze quickly follows her line of vision onl
At 4:00 AM, I am in pain.And when I say pain, I don't mean ones that can get numb easily by painkillers or by having extra nap time. I am talking excruciating agony that knows no bounds.The ache is like no other. It's as though a dagger is latched into my chest or my heart is caught in someone's wicked clutch. Cold sweat breaks out on my skin. I gasp for air as my breaths suddenly become short, muscles in my eyes twitching involuntarily as teeth chatter like hail against a plain glass, lips trembling.There's a visible throb at the back of my skull, a callous squeezing on my shoulders and jaw, and I have no idea which pain to try and numb as everywhere seems to be burning.The sheets are bunched up in my fist, my face is pressed against the pillow as I struggle to fight the ache tearing at my seams, while I try hard not to alert anyone."Fuck!" I hiss in agony, tears brimming at the corners of my eyes and my hands fly from my head to clutch my chest when another agonizing squeeze wea
The pulpy smell of dense woodland gusts across my nostrils, the wet ground making slurpy sounds under my bare feet.The pillars of the forest dart past me as I scamper through the unknown, needing to run far from the man that's beckoning me to come closer.From the distance, I can hear the meows of a wildcat and the hooting of owls, the dark echoes a hint of doom.The wind slaps against my cold cheeks, cackling as if mocking me."Mara!"The darkness echoes impatiently and this time, it sounds closer which makes my stomach twist with despair. "Mara!"I regard the fervid rush of adrenaline coursing through my seams, the ragged beating of my heart trying to block out the strange noises of the dark as I pump my energy and dare to race with the wind."Come out and play, Mara!"A sinister cackle is released and the dark rhythm of it sends uncomfortable chills down my spine.I stumble upon a fallen tree and don't hesitate to leap over it, tucking away my surprise at that fluid stunt for lat
The sight of Romeo never fails to make my heart go into overdrive. Whether he is naked, fully clothed, or simply just bare-chested, with just sweatpants hanging below his narrow waist, there is always this excitement from within me that I can't seem to fathom.And walking into him leaning against his kitchen cabinet, chiseled abs on display as he sips lazily on his hot coffee, the feeling doesn't become old, it still makes me high, as if it's the first time.Earlier this morning, I woke up in a strange bed, wrapped in the strong arms of a stranger, with a devious hangover that threatened to split my head into halves.I didn't and couldn't even remember the stranger's face from the night before other than his striking, oddly familiar blue eyes. I told him it was a mistake and that I was under the influence. But the fool must have thought I liked to just walk into a club, get drunk and bang the next possible man. So he told me he had a good time and that he would see me again. I waved
I hit the sidewalk that leads home, and each sound my sneakers make creates an echo along the pavement. Power, adrenaline, or whatever it is charging through me as I dare to race with the wind.Running is my flow, the way my spirit always chooses to fly. It's my freedom, the only true moment my demon stays at a distance, a little moment of unchained happiness.A certain warmness embodies me as soon as the blue roof of my house stands out to me in the distance, the rays of the sun hitting my window almost reflecting on the chain around my neck. I am making a diversion toward my porch when something cold envelopes me, shooting invisible and chilling tingles up my bones."Rio fucking Tetrazzinni!" I screech, halting in my steps to direct a vicious glare at the boy grinning triumphantly, his sharp blue eyes dancing with mischief.I'm going to kill him."Sorry," he says, the corner of his lips lifting into a smirk, "Didn't see you there, DD."I don't know why but my next-door neighbor, Ri
I push open my door on my return from the store down the street and see Romeo still sprawled out on the bed, peacefully sound asleep.Sighing, I walk toward my dresser and sink into the chair before it, twisting my body to an angle where my right arm rests on the back of the chair while I watch him sleep.His face does look a little peaceful now unlike before, forget the slight tug of his lower lip or the gentle crease of his brows.I sit in that position, watching him as though I am some hopeless lover. Maybe I am. I find myself dozing off a few minutes after, only deciding to go and lie next to him when my head is almost disengaged from my body.I climb up and settle next to him, my back toward him. Maybe the way the bed winces beneath me announces my presence because the next thing, a large arm has pulled me against a bare chest, chiseled face nuzzling into my neck. Then a heavy sigh of relief.I am pulled into a deep sleep after that, though it feels like I didn't sleep for long a
I subconsciously draw my lower lip between my teeth, my cheeks heating up when he pushes my legs apart and lock a finger around the strap of my panties, pulling it off.His eyes glaze over, burning with dark desires as he takes in my pink pussy, wet and throbbing for him."Addie," my name rolls off his tongue like fine wine, "If your neighbors have forgotten my name perhaps, you are gonna remind them today, get it?""Got it." I grin, going on my knees before grabbing his dick in my hands, and jerking him off."Fuck, Addie!" he groans when my hands tighten around him, milking him for release.I move up and down his length, stroking him with much-needed speed. He grabs my neck, pushing my face closer to his before he begins to place wet kisses below my chin to my neck. As if suddenly remembering that my shirt is still a barrier, he proceeds to pull the shirt off, disconnecting my hand from his dick. I sit back down on the bed, leaning back, my elbows holding my weight up before his gaz
I sit on the fancy chair in the conference room, wondering when the perfect time is to escape from the boring meeting that isn’t even going to benefit me in any way possible. Scanning the table with tired eyes, I can’t help but marvel at how they all are quite satisfied sipping from their bottled water, and I think it would have been better if they served wine and maybe cookies."The government is getting serious with your case, Mr. Sandoval." Romeo's deep voice pulls at my attention, and I don't restrain my eyes from searching for him.The way my heart stirs excitedly as I behold his gorgeous face can't even be overemphasized, and soon enough, the boredom is long forgotten for another while.He is spotting dark blue pants paired with a white dress shirt. Two or three of his upper buttons are subtly popped open to give a little peek of the dragon tattoo that crawls up his chest and disappears behind his neck.His onyx hair is polished and styled into a perfect tousle, jaws in a shar
