Chapter 24: Thrice Tricked
Kendra’s P.O.V:
“Hey, pretty lady. Can I buy you a drink?”
I turned my head sidewise to look at the guy who just made that comment. Dyed blonde hair gelled back to give a sleek look, hazel eyes and a pretty face. The man was wearing blue denims with a white t-shit and a black leather jacket over it, and he seemed to have a nice physique. Normally, I’d take up the offer in an instant, but now I just raised my martini glass.
“Thanks, but no thanks.” I told him politely.
But he didn’t look the least bit offended. “Well, it was worth a try.” His smile seemed genuine enough, or maybe that was the alcohol. What was I on my fifth or sixth glass? But blonde guy wasn’t done talking. “I’m Jared, by the way,” he extended his hand. “And you are?”
Normally, it would seem like a nice distraction; a hot guy
Chapter 25: Part of the PlanVictor’s P.O.V:I pulled the covers over Kendra’s sleeping form and sank into the bed next to her.Kendra looked peaceful when she slept, no signs of the demons that haunt her every waking second of the day. But I know she’s still aware of them, even now. Something keeps holding her back from truly committing to something and I plan to find that out exactly what that is. It’s very difficult to get Kendra to do something she doesn’t want to do and I’d pinned my hopes on the fact that she had felt at least a fraction of what I felt for her, because while we’d been together, it had been the best days of my life and I refuse to believe that I was the only one who’d felt something for Kenna. And the trick had worked. It proved that she still felt something for me.But I also know that no relationship can last based only on sex. It might have been enou
Chapter 26: Takes Two to TangoKendra’s P.O.V:He was already hard, his erection stood straight against his abdomen, the tip moist with pre-cum.Shit! He was big! Why had I forgotten that? Out of all the people I had slept with, Victor had been a perfect fit. The key to my lock. But I couldn’t let him win this game. He has to know that he’s playing with fire and it will inevitably leave him scorched. Hopefully this time, his lesson will be forever.Just like what happened to you?The demons whispered inside my head, making me stumble back a step. Only, there was nowhere to go; nowhere to run. I was standing with my back against the wall and Victor was directly in front of me, butt naked and sprouting a very impressive hard on. And even though I was no longer a horny teenager with no self-control, somehow I always ended up acting the same in front of Victor.“What’s the
Chapter 27: OverhearingKendra’s P.O.V:When I woke up the next morning, Victor wasn’t in bed with me, but there was a note stuck to the pillows that said he’d gone to his office to report his arrival and to take up any necessary assignments if there were any. But he’d also left a post script saying that he wanted to have dinner with me.For once in a long while, I didn’t want to bolt out the door as soon as the coast was clear. I felt relaxed and satisfied and sore in all the right places, but I guess that’s the side-effect of getting my act together. I haven’t been with a partner in over six months and even I have to agree that going seven rounds all in one night was a bit too much.Stretching my arms above my head, I rose from the bed butt naked and went straight for the shower. Since I’d taken home all the spare clothing I had in this apartment, I have to make a quick tr
Chapter 28: Spiral DownKendra’s P.O.V:“Miss, I’m sorry but I can’t give you any more alcohol.”I lifted my head with much difficulty and gave the bartender a stern glare. “Whatta meen yoo cunt?”Did I just say cunt? Maybe? Who knows?I tried to look around, but my head felt too heavy. Where was I? Why did my head feel so weird? I don’t know what this feeling was, but I need more of it. This was good.“Miss? Miss, are you alright?” The new bartender asked. I wish it were Josh...He’d have given me more alcohol.“Miss, do you need me to call you a cab?” The bartender was saying.Suddenly, thousands of voices mixed in my head. The people talking all around me, the bartender screaming in my ears and laughing...so many people laughing. Laughing at me.“Shut up!” I yelled. “All of you! Shut up!&rdq
Chapter 29: A Helping HandKendra’s P.O.V:I felt the start of a massive headache even before my mind was fully conscious. Slowly, I willed my heavy eyelids to open, but it took an hour, or at least it felt like a good hour, before I could open them.The room wasn’t flooded with light like my room usually is in the morning; in fact, it was all in a dark shade of green. That’s when I realized that I wasn’t in my room. I instantly wanted to get the hell away from this place and never look back as I run for dear life. I didn’t want to know who I was with last night and if we even ended up doing anything.But as soon as I sat up, my vision went blank and when I opened them again after a short period, I was staring up at the ceiling. I groaned. Why did I have to be dead drunk before I decided to go home with someone? Am I even with somebody or did the cops just ditch me at a whorehouse? Nah! I was
Chapter 30: Worried about YouKendra’s P.O.V:It was late in the afternoon when I finally made my way home. I had taken a shower and changed into one of Grace’s spare jeans and tees at the club and then Daniel had driven me to the hospital to get a thorough check up. The results had been quite alarming.Due to excess alcohol consumption in the past few months, my liver has shown a very small amount of enlargement and now the doctor has told to strictly stay away from alcohol for the next six months and eat a hell lot of healthy shit until my liver goes back to its original shape. And not to mention a bunch of medications that I’ll have to take twice a day. I hadn’t realized how bad my condition had gotten until now. And to make matters worse, my head was still hurting and I felt like crap; pretty sure I looked like crap too since I didn’t have any makeup on me.But when I reached my apartment
Chapter 31: Don't Hold BackKendra’s P.O.V:When I woke up, it was already dark outside and someone had closed all the windows to keep the chilly night air out of the room. At first I was a bit alarmed as to who could have done that, but then I remembered how I’d asked Victor to take me inside and how I’d fallen asleep right after he’d placed me on the bed and my heart eased a bit.One of my bedside table lamps were on so I turned on the second one as well so I could see everything around the room. What I instantly noticed however, was that the entire house smelled of cheese and bacon and that I was no longer in the clothes that I’d worn when I’d returned home. Victor must have changed me while I was sleeping, which was fine by me since I was wearing proper underwear and it would’ve been incredibly uncomfortable to sleep with skinny jeans on. But that doesn’t mean I’m letting
Chapter 32: RealizationKendra’s P.O.V:Victor stared at me for a good few seconds, looking unsure at first, but then I saw a storm cloud his beautiful green eyes and he was hauling me to him with his hands possessively around my neck and his lips were claiming mine with a fierceness that I’d never felt before.My lips felt tender and swollen by the time he left us up for air, but I pulled him back in for another kiss before he could pull back. This one was just as fierce, just as passionate and I knew that Victor was no longer holding back. He was letting me feel all his anger, all his pain and all his want. And it made my chest ache to have this in my life forever.But that thought was gone just as soon as it had formed as Victor used his hands to cup my breast over the silk of my night shirt. I sucked in a breath and it gave him the opportunity to thrust his tongue inside my mouth and taste every nook and c
