Hazel’s POVI never expected Asher to grow so fond of Lucas but there was nothing I could do about it especially since Lucas and Mr Roberts are the only constant grown men he grew to know in his life.“Mommy please, Uncle Lucas has a really big house and these cool cars and he let me play games and…”“That’s exactly why I don’t want you to go there, it’s like a distraction and right now you’re growing to be a big boy, you should…” I was still lecturing when Asher made his mouth into a pout.He gave me the look he usually throws my way anytime he wants something from me. It's really hard to say No to that kind of face but I guess I was only feeling a little bit jealous.Not jealous per se but he should be this close with Damian, his birth father and not a total stranger that turned friend.“Listen to the poor boy, they’re on holiday and you really need a break too.” Alesha butted in and I rolled my eyes as he sought refuge in her lap.“I thought you’d have my back here, why are you sta
Hazel’s POVHis bright eyes piercing through my skin and getting right into my heart made the butterflies in my stomach grow and I felt my cheeks burning hot.God, I really want to kiss him so much and probably fuck him too.“Lucas.” I called again and he blinked multiple times as he laughed and nervously ran his hand through his hair before stopping abruptly.Taking a step closer to me, he leaned into me so that I could feel his breath brush my face and he smiled, his smile so bright that it could light up a room.“I had no idea how incredibly beautiful you look at night, Hazel.” He whispered huskily and I couldn’t help but let out a smile.“Dinner is ready,” he started, “wanna join us? I could bring it to your room if you’d like that too.” He finished and I snickered as I told him I’d have my dinner at the table.Silently, we both walked to the dining and Asher was there already and ready to eat. He would usually wait for me to get back before he would eat and it seemed like with Lu
Hazel’s POVI could feel the eager affection coming from him, the way his body burnt up as I fumbled with the buttons of his shirt.Yanking it off and not caring if the buttons flew across the room like a missile, he was now standing with his chest bare and I swallowed at how huge his naked chest was.Walking back to close the door, he acknowledged the fact that Asher could walk in on us while we were having sex. He’s so thoughtful.I felt horrible knowing what had led to all of this and at some point I’d wanted to stop this from going further but I wanted it just as much as he does.A little bit of pleasure wouldn’t hurt anyone.“God, you’re so beautiful,” he breathed into my mouth as he kissed me and I was strangely flattered by his interest.“Thanks.” I moaned, carried away by my own response, I didn’t fail to notice my whole being seemed to be filled with waiting and when he didn’t stop kissing me, my only emotion was relief, the prolonged anticipation was almost unbearable as a s
Hazel’s POV We all had fun at the park, took pictures, tried almost all of the food trucks and it took all of the persuasion in the world to get Asher to let us go back home because of how late it was getting.School starts next tomorrow but Alesha called and told me she had big news so we just had to go back home.We went back to Lucas’s apartment to pack our things and Lucas drove us back home. Asher was already asleep in the back seat by the time we got home.“He must be so tired.” Lucas said, stopping the car when we got to my apartment and I asked him who on earth wouldn’t be tired after stressing all day.“He really didn’t want to leave.” I laughed and Lucas joined as he promised that he was going to make sure Asher had more fun next weekend.Getting out of the car, Lucas helped carry Asher inside and tucked him in his bed. The look on Alesha’s face told me that she couldn’t wait for him to leave so she can ask what she’s been meaning to.Walking with Lucas back to his car, I s
Hazel’s POV The week went by quickly and with each passing day I miss my best friend. She hadn’t called back and I was starting to get worried.I couldn’t help all the thoughts that crossed my mind especially after calling her and it kept going straight to voicemail.Alesha is never like this? What’s going on?Taking out my phone, I called her one more time but I got sent to voicemail again like every other time that I’d tried to call her.“It’s only been a week, give her some time to settle and I’m sure that she’ll call you back as soon as she can.” Lucas’ voice jolted me out of my thoughts.I had no idea when he got behind me and that made me jump, clutching my chest in fear. I turned to look at him and he was smiling.“You scared me.” I laughed nervously and he only brushed my cheek before telling me to calm down that everything was going to be fine.Asher came running to us all prepared and soon we all went off to the park to have fun. Lucas had promised Asher and he dared not ke
Damian’s POVIt’s been five years already and I still haven’t gotten any news about Hazel. I was so sure that I sent men to the right place but why are they all coming back with the same news of being unable to find her?I’d sent them there to find Hazel but they all came back with the same news of catching a glimpse of Lucas instead and he was with a woman.I asked for a picture but neither of them was smart enough to take one. Angrily, I hit one of them and sent the rest of them out of my sight.Although it was some sort of good news since I’ve been searching for him for years. I wanted to be able to take my revenge on him, I’ve waited for years for this moment and they finally found him.Picking up my phone, I called one of the men and they dared not let the phone ring twice before picking it up.“Boss.” He called when he picked up and my head spun. I've been dealing with this headache for years and it’s not going down.“Get a picture of him and the woman you found with him, you ha
Damian’s POVWithout any more time, I hurried to where I’d packed my car and a bright light shone in front of me as I groaned. I knew there wasn’t any light in front of me and I’m only seeing the light because of my headache.“Hey pal, why’d you leave like that? What’s going on?” Isaac asked as soon as he picked up the call and for a moment everything he said sounded like it came out like a slur.The sound of the car honking in front of me made me swerve right and I’d almost hit the tree in front of me, “wherever you are, just stay there and I’ll track your location and get to you.” Isaac said and hung up immediately.He knew what might’ve happened with me but I couldn’t just stay behind and wait around for him to come, “there’s no time.” I whispered to myself as I shook my head and regretted it immediately.Not waiting, I got into the road again and I was grateful for my retentive memory, I’d memorized the plate number and it wasn’t long before I found the taxi again.The taxi driver
Hazel’s POVThe question was more shocking than I’d expected it to be, my heart skipped a beat and for a moment I could’ve sworn that I froze.Clenching my fist in anger and closing my eyes in frustration, I turned to look at the man I once loved. I still love him now but I can’t let him know that.He doesn’t look like the Damian I know, Alesha was right when she said he was miserable because he looked like it. His lips weren’t as beautiful looking as I remembered but weirdly they still called out to me.He staggered and I saw Isaac help him but stopped after he said something to him. He looked really sick and as though he was keeping a secret.“No,” I answered firmly as I turned to move closer to him as I looked at him, “Asher is not your son.” I added as I stopped to stand in front of him.“And I’m telling you for the last time,” I continued with my index finger pointing at him, “stop bothering us.” I added.I’d turned to leave when I felt his hand on mine, pulling me back and stopp
