Arya's POV.

I walked out of the bathroom, my towel secured tightly around my chest. It was my second day living with Lucas and I had woken up feeling a bit disoriented, I opted for a quick shower and now I'm glad I did, seeing how relieved I am.

A soft knock suddenly came on the door as I approached the wardrobe.

I exhaled deeply, tightening the towel over my chest before heading towards the door.

Pulling the door open, he was there.

Lucas Griffin... standing before me, wearing nothing but gray sweatpants that hung dangerously low on his hips. His chest was bare, a sinful display of sculpted muscle and smooth, tanned skin, a faint trace of water still glistening along his collarbone as if he had just stepped out of the shower himself.

His signature smirk curled at the corner of his lips, those dreamy eyes raking down my barely covered body with no shame whatsoever.

"Damn, babydoll," he murmured, leaning against the doorframe, his voice like liquid sin. "You should answer the door l

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter fourteen.

    Arya’s POV.I placed the last dish on the dining table and took a step back, exhaling softly. I had quickly rushed the meal immediately Lucas left the kitchen, with the fear of him returning and continuing his torture. I really hope this turns out well. Lucas sat there, watching me like a predator observing its prey. His eyes held that usual spark of amusement, mischief dancing in their glory. I wiped my hands on a napkin before turning to leave.“Arya,” his deep voice called, stopping me in my tracks.I turned reluctantly, my heart already picking up speed. “Yes?”“Sit.”I frowned slightly. “I thought I was just supposed to cook for you?”His lips curled into that lazy smirk, yet again. “And now, you’ll eat with me.”I hesitated, but then again, what choice did I have? If Lucas Griffin wanted something, he got it. He had made that very clear. So, I quietly pulled out the chair across from him and sat down.The moment he took his first bite, his expression changed. His smirk faded,

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter fifteen.

    Arya's POV.I strolled down the stairs, thinking of sneaking into the kitchen for a cup of coffee, when I nearly bumped into a wall... no, not a wall, it was Lucas. His broad, muscular frame stood right in front of me, and the smirk he wore told me he had been waiting for me."Perfect timing, babydoll. I was just about to come get you," he smiled. "Get me? Why?" I arched my brows at him."I have a golf game with a friend, and I want you to come with me," he said nonchalantly, slipping his hands into his pockets.I folded my arms. "And what if I don’t want to go?"He took a step closer, his eyes holding mine hostage. "Then I’ll remind you that you’re at my service for the next few days, and it would be in your best interest to obey," he teased, a knowing glint in his gaze.I heaved out a deep breath.Lucas is a handful."Whatever, Fine. But I don’t even know how to play golf." I tried to protest."You don’t need to, sweetheart. I’ll teach you," he said, flashing me a knowing smile b

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter sixteen.

    Arya’s POVLucas held tightly to my hand as he led me up the stairs, toward my room. His warmth seeped into my skin, making it impossible to ignore how insanely right... his hand felt in mine.The hallway was dimly lit as we approached my room. The only sound was the faint echo of our footsteps against the floors. Neither of us spoke, but I could feel the tension hanging thick in the air, unspoken words crackling between us.I stole a glance at him. His sharp jawline, the way his blue-green eyes flickered with something unreadable in the low light… He looked lost in thought, but his fingers stayed wrapped around mine like he had no intention of letting go.Why did he always do this?Why did he insist on holding my hand whenever we walked together?It was a simple act, yet it made my heart hammer every time.I told myself it was nothing. That it meant nothing.But I knew I was lying to myself.We reached my door, and I halted. Lucas stopped too, but his hands still holding mine. I dre

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter seventeen.

    Arya's POV.It was my fifth day living with Lucas. I couldn't tell if I was happy that the days were swiftly running by, or deeply, I wished it could go slower, that way I get to spend a little more time with him.I was totally disoriented, confused about what I really want. I guess I still have a little time figure it all out. The morning started off fine... almost too fine. Lucas had been in an unusually good mood, teasing me over breakfast, smirking at me like he knew something I didn’t. But I let it slide, not wanting to get worked up over his mischief.After breakfast, I decided to cool off in the living room, flipping through channels mindlessly. Lucas had disappeared into his study, leaving me alone with my thoughts. A part of me wanted to go find him... which was ridiculous... but before I could even entertain the thought, the sound of high heels clicking against the floors drew my attention.I turned my head towards the entrance, and my stomach twisted.A lady stood there.T

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter eighteen.

    Arya's POV.I sat by the pool, hugging my knees to my chest, the night was silent except for the soft ripples of the pool water.Cold breeze brushed against my skin, but it wasn’t the chill that made me shiver... it was the frustration boiling inside me.My eyes were tightly locked onto the exit gate of the mansion. The very place where she had walked out just minutes ago, with a smug smile on her lips, looking all too satisfied.I should have ignored it. I should have been indifferent. After all, it’s not like Lucas is mine. But the moment I saw her leaving his room, an ugly, burning sensation had taken over my entire being. It felt as though someone had driven a knife deep into my chest and twisted it mercilessly.I clenched my fists, feeling like a fool. What the hell is wrong with me? I wasn’t supposed to care. I wasn’t supposed to feel anything. This was temporary. In two days, I’d be gone. Out of his life. Away from his teasing, his flirtations, his annoying smirks.And yet… wh

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter nineteen.

    Arya's POV.The loud, high pitched scream that erupted from my phone speaker nearly sent my heart leaping out of my chest. My eyes snapped open, blinking against the morning light streaming through the curtains.My ringtone isn't usually this scarily loud, or could it be because it was so early in the morning. And who on earth is calling me so early in the morning huh?I was about cursing out whoever it was when my gaze fell on the screen, it was Kelly calling. So early? Is there a situation?I clicked on the receive button and placed the phone over my ear. "Kelly, it's too early in the morning for a...."“Arya!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!” his high pitched voice screamed over the phone, cutting me of abruptly.Oh my God.I shot up in bed, gripping the phone with both hands as realization dawned on me. My birthday. Today was my birthday, and I had completely forgotten."Kyle?" My voice came out barely audible."Hold on, you forgot? How could you forget your own birthday, woman?!" he scold

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter twenty.

    Arya’s POV.The cool air caressed my skin as Lucas led me out of the house, ofcourse firmly holding onto my hands as always. His long fingers laced through mine like he was afraid I’d slip away, but I wasn’t going anywhere. Not when my heart was pounding with anticipation."Where are we going?" I asked, glancing at him as he guided me toward the black car parked in front of the mansion.He smirked, that signature cocky smirk that made my stomach twist into a thousand knots every single time. "That’s for me to know and for you to find out," he said, opening the car door for me.I rolled my eyes and stepped in, sinking into the plush seat as he shut the door behind me. Within seconds, he slid into the driver’s seat, his muscular forearms flexing as he gripped the wheel. He ignited the car and we took off into the night.I stole a glance at him under the dim interior lights. He looked effortlessly handsome, the very definition of luxury, of power."Seriously, just tell me where we’re goi

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter twenty one.

    Arya's POV.As dinner ended, Lucas leaned back in his chair, swirling the last bit of wine in his glass. "Ready for the next part of our next stop?"I raised a brow. "There’s more?"Lucas grinned. "Come on, babydoll. The night’s not over yet."He stood up, extending his hand, and this time, I quickly accepted, and he led us out. **As we stepped out of the restaurant, the night air wrapped around me like a cool embrace. My heart was still racing from everything Lucas had done... from the private dinner to the beautiful bracelet... the way he had looked at me all night. "Where are we going now though?" I asked, hoping to get a response other than a smirk but that was exactly what I got in response... A smirk. "Just follow my lead, princess."I sighed but still let him guide me back into the car. As he started the engine, I couldn’t help but admire how effortlessly he controlled everything. The car, the situation, even my emotions... Lucas had a way of making me feel completely at h

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter hundred and fourteen.

    Hailey’s POV.A week.Seven whole days since we moved.You’d think that might be enough time for me to at least unpack or open the blinds or look around the neighborhood. But no. I stayed in my room like it was a bunker and the rest of the world was at war. The most I did was drag myself to the kitchen for water or snacks, and even that felt like crossing enemy lines.I didn’t care about the house fridge or the stupid backyard with trimmed hedges that looked like they belonged in a brochure.I don't want any of that."Wakey wakeey, sunshine." Aiden's text was the first to wake me up. "Hey." I simply texted him. "Are you still pissed about moving?""Very much so.""C'mon, try to let it go, and enjoy the city." "But I won't be able to see you again." "What made you so sure that I lived in California and you could find me there?" That seemed to strike a bell. "I don't know, I just had a feeling." A knock suddenly came on the door before I could get his next message. “Hailey,” mom

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter hundred and thirteen.

    Hailey's POV.The plane had barely landed before I was itching to disappear. Not into a new place or new beginning like everyone kept saying... but to dissolve. Just vanish. Because arriving didn’t feel like an arrival at all.I clutched the strap of my backpack tighter, head down, ignoring everything, my parents. Everything . It all made me sick.The drive from the airport took another eternity. I didn’t care about the clean streets or the fact that the weather here was “nicer.” My chest ached like a balloon filled too tightly, ready to burst with the slightest jab.When we finally pulled up to the new house... big, modern, ugly in its perfection... I didn’t wait for anyone. I grabbed my duffel bag, ignored Dad’s attempt at a half smile, and walked straight in without a word.I stomped up the stairs, turning corners I wasn't used to, passing empty rooms and unfamiliar walls. I picked the room at the end of the hall just because it was farthest away from everyone. It didn’t matter

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter hundred and twelve.

    Hailey’s POV.The rain had started just as we left the house, the kind of rain that blurred everything... buildings, streets, even emotions. It matched the heaviness pressing against my chest as I sat in the back seat of the car, silent, still, and aching in ways I couldn’t yet explain. I didn’t say a word. I couldn’t.Outside, the familiar streets greeted me. Trees I used to race past on my bike stood tall and wet, their leaves seemed to be whispering silent goodbyes. Mr. Howard’s bookstore with the bell that never worked right, the little coffee shop where Marissa , Liam and I used to cram for tests and gossip over muffins too dry and coffee too bitter. Everything looked softer in the rain, like the city was crying with me.Mom glanced at me through the rearview mirror. She didn’t say anything either. Maybe she saw the tears that had started to slide down my cheeks. Maybe she didn’t. I didn’t bother to wipe them away.This was it. We were really leaving.Dad’s transfer came three w

    Third book alert!SEXT PARTNER.Hailey's parents moved to a new city due to job promotion and she transfers to a new school, only to discover that her secret sext partner was the hottest boy in school, and he was dating the hottest girl in school as well. She stood no chance of having him, but what if she was underestimating the intense hold she had over him. Chapter one."You know I'd really love to see you!" His text popped up on my phone just as I plopped down on the bed. "Well, I am not what you call the perfect lady!" I texted immediately. "I highly doubt that." His reply came and I chuckled to myself. Aiden and I bumped into each other in a weird app, exchanged numbers and have been keeping each other's company intimately, since then. We haven't met, neither have we seen each other. Our interaction was strictly over text and I think we are both okay with that. We are both 18 and in 12th grade."We will eventually see each other someday you know." He texted. "Yeah?" "Yes

    Chloe's POV. The moment I stepped out of the elevator and into the wide, glass paneled lobby of Hayes’s firm, I felt like I was trespassing on a dangerous ground.I continued to feverishly put one feet after another, my footsteps thumping in sync with the unease curling in my stomach. I hadn't seen Hayes in days. Not since... the party. Not since the bathroom. Not since he found out. My heart clenched at the thought.The receptionist looked up with a warm smile that faltered the second she recognized me.“Um... Miss Chloe. I’m not sure if Mr. Hayes is available”“Please.” My voice cracked, and I cleared my throat quickly. “Just let him know I’m here. I won’t stay long. I promise.”She hesitated, clearly torn between professional courtesy and the pitiful look on my face. Eventually, she picked up the phone and dialed.A moment passed. Then two.Finally, she looked up at me with an apologetic glance. “He said… he’s busy.”“I’ll wait,” I said stubbornly and sat on the plush leather couc

    Hayes's POV.I slowly opened my eyes trying to take in the environment but it posed a big threat, my eyelids were heavy and my head too.I squeezed my eyes back shut and relaxed, I didn't care about my environment anymore, it felt safe and conducive, not even the problems I was dealing with popped up in my head, I felt at peace.I suddenly felt a presence beside me, I assumed it was Chloe, she stirred and laid her head on my chest, snuggling deeper into me, and in turn, I wrapped my arms around her, in the process, I inhaled the scent of her hair and it sent an unexplainable calmness down my spine.It suddenly occurred to me that this is in no way Chloe's scent. And Chloe and I aren't even in a good place right now for her to be sleeping beside me. My nose suddenly caught her scent again, this time, my eyes popped open in shock.And to more shock, it was an unknown lady lying on my chest, looking closely, I suddenly realized that it was the lady from the club last night.What is she

    Hayes's POV.I dragged my feet frustratedly into the club and went straight to the bar section."A shot please," I said to the waiter.This will make it the second time that I will be in a buzzing underground club ready to soak myself with some really hot liquor, all for the sake of heartbreak.When am I ever going to learn huh?First it was Elisha, and now Chloe. What exactly have I done to deserve this? Have I not been loving enough? Is there something that I am not doing right? It hurts because I truly loved Chloe more than I have ever loved another woman. She really held a place in my heart. Why did she have to hurt me like this when all I have ever done was to love her unconditionally. It hurts more because despite how hard I was trying to shut her out, somehow, I just couldn't and it was infuriating the hell out of me.I should hate her, I should shut her out and cast her away from my life for hurting me so bad, but somehow, all I could think of was her wellbeing, I couldn't s

I had made this mess.So I stood stubbornly by the curb, trembling, refusing Hardin’s extended hand and barely meeting his eyes when he called my name with that low, frustrated murmur.“Chloe, let me at least make sure you get home safe.”I shook my head furiously. “No. Just… just go, Hardin.”He exhaled, jaw clenched, torn between anger and concern. His eyes lingered on me for a beat too long. searching, but I couldn’t let him find anything. Not now.The taxi pulled up, and I got in without another word, slamming the door shut behind me like I was sealing off every horrible choice I’d made tonight.The ride was quiet, filled only with the noises from the street as we drove by.

    Chloe's POV. My lipstick was smudged, my breath still uneven as I leaned over the sink, trying to steady myself. The mirror was an unkind witness. My cheeks flushed, mascara slightly smudged at the corners, lips red and swollen. I looked like every dirty thought I ever denied having.Behind me, Hardin buttoned his shirt slowly, each motion dragging across my nerves. His eyes lingered on me through the mirror. That damned smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth again, smug and amused.“You okay?” he asked, his voice low and still laced with satisfaction. He came up behind me, placing both hands on my hips, pressing a kiss just under my ear.I nodded too quickly, still caught in the haze. “Yeah. I… I just need a second.”A second to pretend none of it happened.A second to forget that I had just betrayed someone who loved me enough to make me his girlfriend, Someone who... God help me... was standing outside this building somewhere, waiting for me with that soft smile of his and the ho
