LOGINAriana’s POVThe muted voice of the pilot bounced off the sides of my ears as I peered down through the window of my seat.I was discharged after two days, assigned proper monitoring. My mother came along, making sure everything was checked out before my discharge.Father could not fly over due to work so here I was in our private plane, heading back home from the city I’d once built my life and hopes in.The place I had dreamed of building my own family, with Matt.The thought of him left a bitter taste in my mouth. All I could think of was how to ruin him, how to destroy him as brutally as he did me.Hence, why my mind drifted to the pair of green grey eyes and his absurd proposal. One that weighed heavily in my mind as time passed. I knew the answer was to say no. That should be the right answer, the only answer, the logical one.It would be extremely foolish of me to put my trust in another Lockwood brother but nothing about him reminded me of his dumb brother. His eyes, althoug
Brianna’s POVI woke up to Adrian gone. Not sure when he had left but when I touched the side of the bed where he laid, it was bare of any sort of warmth.My frown was immediate. Where had he gone this early? I glanced at the wall clock at the corner of the room. I was just barely past five o’clock.It felt extremely strange waking up to him not beside me, not straddling me or holding me.I didn’t think it was possible to miss it but I did. And it was something I’d never admit to him.I usually had to fight myself free every morning and so not having him practically on me was a different kind of new.I stood in a daze. “Adrian…” I called. No response. “Adrian?” I echoed and got no response back.“Hmmm,” I thought. That was odd. I rose from the bed with a silent huff, I felt a pressing weight between my thighs.The memory of the night before flashed through my mind and I found my cheeks heating up at the thought.Adrian had used that mouth of his for something… something really good
Brianna’s POV “Ahem… We have arrived, sir.” The driver said from the front of the car as it whirred to a stop. Suddenly aware of the audience and the situation, I flushed, curling into Adrian. How was I supposed to face him after everything? I felt Adrian chuckle beneath me, the sound vibrating against my face pressed into his neck. “Are you getting shy now, princess?” He murmured, pulling me closer so I was now fully seated on his lap. “What happened to all that flair earlier?” He teased me. I lightly slapped his back, growing more embarrassed by the second. “Shut up,” I grumbled. “Please, can you carry me in?” “Of course I can.” He said, before knocking twice on the window. The doors opened upward and just like that he carried me out of the car and headed straight for the house. Thankfully, I didn’t have to face the driver or anyone else. Not with Adrian’s marks and nibbles plastered all over my body, and my wrecked dress that left nothing of what had gone down to the imag
Brianna’s POVI couldn’t hold back the moan that tore through me. Adrian’s hands roamed everywhere he met skin even where he didn’t.My back arched, pressing straight into him. He groaned against my lips, moving me even closer to him by my hips and I ground against his hardening length. “Hmm,” I moaned, once my core pressed against his length. The sheer size of it was felt between my thighs, my core throbbed with need.Adrian’s lips disconnected from mine, his lips were red and his eyes were dark. His forehead met with mine and I could feel his heavy breathing on my face mixing with mine.“Brianna, if we don’t stop right now I might have to fuck you right here and right now and I don’t think the driver would appreciate that very much.”The way he said it made my stomach flip but the pressure in my lower belly eased at the mention of a possible audience.I willed myself to calm down. This should not happen here. The fire in his fingers didn’t relent though.“O..oKay,” I said breathles
Adrian’s POV She gasped the moment she realized what I was looking at. Her skin flushed immediately.In one quick motion she yanked my jacket off her leather seat and clutched it tightly against her chest, trying to hide the evidence. I'd already seen just how affected she was but the frantic attempt was almost adorable.I couldn’t help the low chuckle that escaped me.Her head snapped up. She pointed a finger at me, eyes narrowed, then immediately turned her face away as if the sight of my amusement offended her further.“You’re such a creep.”I leaned forward, closing the small distance between the facing seats until I was right in front of her. A smirk tugged at the corner of my mouth.“But I’m your husband,” I said, voice quiet and unrepentant. “I think I’m allowed to look whenever I want.”She shot me a glare over the edge of the jacket still pressed to her chest. “That doesn’t excuse anything. You’re still a creep.”I settled back just enough to give her space, though my eyes n
Brianna’s POV I could not sink into my seat any further, though God knows I tried. I was mortified. Beyond mortified. My skin prickled with goosebumps at the multiple stares and glares that cut to me at Adrian's very bold announcement. Every stare, every glare aimed my way felt like it was carving straight through me, especially from the women who’d thought they’d had a real shot at him and were now sitting there furious that I’d ruined it for them. Sucks for them. That was not happening. Not on my watch. I couldn’t even begin to explain the feeling that clawed through my bones watching those women vie for my husband’s attention right in front of my face. It was irritating, annoying and down right disrespectful, plain and simple. I was sitting right there, and they were auctioning off my husband like he wasn’t already mine. And even though I didn’t want to give Adrian the satisfaction of seeing me fuming over the whole situation, I couldn’t help how I felt. The heat
I stare dumbfounded around me. Unable to process what was happening. There were about 10 people out to welcome me, their faces etched with a permanent genuine smile.It was almost like I’d been expected.My heart lurched in my chest. I wasn’t used to this kind of greeting. I didn’t even know what to
The following day, a car arrived at the Stewart mansion. A white Escalade as I peeped from the attic windows of my room.I didn’t get a wink of sleep the whole night. My eyelids burned at the lack of moisture but I didn’t even care.“They’re here for me.” I whisper to myself. Okay, this was really
I froze the moment he stepped closer. Mi amor? Mi amor?Was I in the wrong house? Why is he looking at me like a dog looks at a chew toy? Is this Adrian or his alter ego.My face must depict the look of utter confusion and shock. I could be a mood chart.My body refused to move, as if the air arou
After the announcement of my shotgun marriage in place of Emily. Dinner ended almost immediately, with everyone dispersing to their respective wings. That was the way things had always been in this cold house, there was no warmth. There was no laughter at dinner tables, no conversations about how
