To Love You Hurts Sleeping With The Enemy.
Upon entering the living room, I pause at the threshold, my gaze rivets on Tobias’s back as he stands tall, looking out the window that oversees the city’s bright lights. My heart rate spikes with both desire and animosity. I have never felt so disgusted in myself for letting my guard down and allowing him to touch me in such a manner that had my toes curling, and me screaming his name like it was a fucking prayer. I could murder him. A life for a life. But I’ll have to wait until after we are married, so I’ll at least get to keep my bakery through our marital status. Shaking my head, I rid myself of the homicidal thoughts crossing through my mind. Gah! He truly does know how to bring the worst out of me without even trying. I continue to stare at him, marvelling as his reflection reveals a contemplative mood. His gaze is unfocused and his lips are drawn into a grim line. I wonder if he feels absolutely disgusted by his actions too… His folded arms betray an intrinsic unea
To Love You Hurts Not Here, Not Ever.
The limousine comes to a standstill and I look out the window with a silent prayer of gratitude playing on the tip of my tongue.I am at a loss and stunned into silence by Tobias’s confession with his use of vulgar words orchestrated at me. But it is also comforting to witness the struggle and torment blanketing him as he is realising his self-control is slipping through the hot tips of his fingers.He returns the bottle and glass to the mini bar, combs his fingers through his slick hair, and he exits the limo with a frustrated grunt. I wait for a beat or two to exit after him as he offers me his hand. Placing my left hand in his, I try not to indulge in the way his large hand swallows mine when he encloses his fingers around my palm and lifts my hand to his lips.“Where is the ring I gave you?” He murmurs, masking his soft, spoken words as he plants a delicate kiss on the back of my hand.My gaze wavers from his as I gulp with the camera flashes bursting around us like fireworks.

To Love You Hurts Stay Away.
When dinner is announced, I willingly follow Tobias into the dining room and absentmindedly move my food from one side of the plate to the other. I drink a few more glasses of wine that are being served along with the meal, and I listen as Tobias speaks with our fellow table mates. Although, I’m not paying any attention to what he is saying, only to the cadence and the seductively deep, rich tone of his voice. He does not attempt to draw me into the conversation, and for that, I am grateful. In all honesty, I doubt that I could muster up the politeness that seems to have left my body in a heartbeat. I don’t become fully engaged until he suddenly stands to a round of applause and takes the stage. Turning in my seat with my brows drawn together, I watch him cross to the podium, unable to help to admire his animalistic grace and good looks that dominate the room. It’s as if every step he takes, demands a sense of commanding attention and respect, which is a feat, considering the
To Love You Hurts If The Offer Still Stands.
“No, damn it. And I don’t want to. Look-” The music begins to slow down, and he matches the tempo with our steps. “I have to go. I brought you here, and I want to take you back to the hotel suite.”I push away from him, needing to create some distance between us. The emotions that are coursing through my veins aren’t making any sense to me right now.Why do I care so much?It seems as of lately that I have to keep reminding myself that I hate him!And because of him, my brother is dead, yet, every inch of my body ignites with desire every time I am in his presence and when he touches me… it’s like there is nowhere else I’d rather be, and I forget about the devastation he has caused me. “I’ll be fine. Go…”“Keri.” He reaches for me and I quickly take a step back.An arm snakes around my waist and Davis speaks. “I’ve got her cousin. I’ll make sure she gets back safely to her residence. ”“Don’t get in my way, Davis,” Tobias warns.Davis snorts, “I get the impression you are doing one h
To Love You Hurts Men And Their Ego's.
There is nothing worse than waking up in the early hours of the morning, groaning as your stomach churns and your head feels like a marching band is banging pots together horribly out of tune.In addition, your mouth feels like a parched desert and your tongue feels like it has licked a cat's back, resulting in the sensation of a large fluff ball tickling the centre of your tongue; theoretically speaking.“I hope you enjoyed the remainder of your evening that was spent with my cousin Davis,” A dark and dangerous voice sweeps through the room, jolting me wide awake as a ripple of goosebumps erupts across my feverish flesh.I sit upright in the hotel bed, pulling the sheet up around my chest as the room slightly spins. The last thing I remember, before my head hit the pillow after Davis had seen me back to the hotel suite, was me unzipping my dress and delicately placing it over the armchair.The same armchair that is stationed in the corner of the room with Tobias nestling a tumbler o
To Love You Hurts Pathetic.
I finally build up enough courage to emerge from the ensuite after what had seemed like a lifetime. I had scrubbed myself till my skin became crimson and felt raw while simultaneously attempting to sober up. Staying behind with Davis doesn’t have a nice ring to it after all. Not like it had last night, anyway. By the time I made my decision, though, I was already euphoric from the alcohol I had consumed and had a contemptuous attitude toward myself, Tobias, and everyone else in the room. More so to the goddesses for dishing me such a crappy hand in life. -Suck it up, princess!- As I enter my room, I trip over the threshold and groan to myself as I see Tobias leaning there with a cup of coffee in his hands and a smirk curving at the corner of his mouth. My brows knit together, he looks fresh and wide awake for someone who claims he hasn't slept a wink because he's been trying to do damage control where I'm concerned. Tobias is appetizingly attired in a charcoal suit with the
To Love You Hurts Fake It, Till You Make It.
A brilliant white light flashes before me, and it’s like a switch-flips in my head. “I’m pathetic?” I ask her bitterly. “Says, the one who fucked my boyfriend and trapped him by getting pregnant. If anyone is jealous and pathetic between the pair of us, it’s you, Ava. I would never do what you did to me, never!” As I yell at her, speaking my truth, my heart suddenly feels heavy, like it is weighing me down and I fear the animosity I hold for her is going to consume me. Just by looking at her, I want to yell, kick and scream, and pull my hair as I demand her to tell me the real reason why she chose to destroy my chance at real happiness. I was so close, so fucking close that I could taste it, and it tasted sickeningly sweet. Before I met Chase, I was taking one day at a time, working like a dog to get my bakery off the ground, so I wouldn't go insane worrying about my future. I was shattered, the pieces of my puzzle were scattered, and I had very little hope, if any, for the future
To Love You Hurts I Do.
“Mr. Landry, you may place the ring on Ms. Appletons' finger and repeat after me.” Tobias grasps my hand and slowly slides the diamond-encrusted wedding band that matches my engagement ring down my finger. “I give you this ring as a token and pledge of our constant faith and abiding love.” He repeats after our notary who is performing our wedding ceremony. “Ms. Appleton, please, place the ring on Mr. Landrys’ finger and repeat after me.” I shift sideways, picking up the black band that rests on a small pristine pillow held by Melanie, acting on our behalf as a witness to our wedding. Before I slide the ring down Tobias’s finger, I pause, my gaze lingers on the ring before I look up and meet Tobias’s gaze. He doesn’t say anything, nor does he look at me with a particular emotion glaring back at me. The only thing sounding in my head presently are the words he said to me this morning after our dilemma with Ava. … Fake it till you make it… Looking back at the notary, I nod my hea
