CRYSTAL POVBreathe, Crystal. Breath.I chanted this mantra over and over in my head, trying to remember how the respiratory process thingy happens all around the human body. After a short while, my nostrils flared and with trembling hands, I took a potato and a peel, then started peeling it. Today has been one hell of an emotional rollercoaster. Heck, I don’t think it began to explain all the things I have passed through since Duncan told me she was going to pick me up from my house. First of all, I had to go get my ass waxed. That’s right, I was all ready to feel him inside of me so yeah, I got so prepared. Anna had to spend the night over at my place so that we can rummage through my wardrobe in search of a ‘dress’, that would be too appealing to him. I mean duh, I had to look my part. And when I called Stanley asking if I could take a day off, he was all smiles and jolly, telling me even tomorrow I can spend time with my cubbies and that I don’t have to worry about work. Like W
CRYSTAL POV I! WAS! DREAMY!I barely remember what happened along the ride home, all I know is that I was nuzzled in the comfortable seat of Duncan’s Porsche, feeling so sated and so spent I couldn’t even lift a finger. He didn’t talk much, and neither did I want to talk about anything because he almost just snatched my soul from my body with just his fingers.And when we arrived in Fair Park around 2 am, I could barely walk.He had to carry me into my house, meet a very curious Anna and carry me straight to bed. Thank heavens, the cubbies were already out for the night.The morning arrived, and the first thing I found when my eyes popped was Anna who was sitting on the bed, her head braced in her hands while she watched me sleep.“Spill.” She hollered while pulling the blankets off my eyes. I groaned.“Dude, seriously?” I took the pillow and hid beneath it, then enjoyed some momentarily peace before the jealous medusa yanked off the pillow then pulled my arms, and forced me ou
DUNCAN POV“And why didn’t you sleep at home last night Mr. Griffin?” Our therapist, what’s her name again? Never mind. She asked from her seat which was opposite the big couch where Felicia and I were sitting on. I swear this couch was started to feel like a seat of judgment.“I needed space,” I replied shortly causing her brows to frown. “And why is that?” Because I can't fuck my sub at my home?“Well, I just needed to clear my head. Not that only, I just need a break from everything. You have no idea how exhausting my life is.” I pinned my gaze on her, and she gave me a small nod.“Which part of it is actually ‘exhausting’?” she quoted the word using her fingers.“The part where I try to convince Felicia to sign the papers, driving home to a loveless house knowing I might be greeted by a knife as soon as I enter through the door or loud head-splitting screams, the list is endless.” Even though Felicia has been on her best behavior. But I couldn’t say that for some reason.“But fro
CRYSTAL POV“God, not again.” I heaved out loud as I raced down the corridor to my class. I don’t know why, but Mondays had to be made in China. Something just had to happen right when I had Mr. Grumpy’s class at 9, and on Monday. I seriously didn’t understand what the universe was really playing at this time.“Ouf!” A puff of breath left my lungs when I bumped into someone, but I was too far gone to even see who it was.“Sorry,” I said already racing down. At long last, I arrived at my door and took a good calming minute. 9 minutes. Well, that wasn’t bad. If my memory serves me right, he told me if I was more than 10 minutes late, I might as well die. But I was early.With that, I tapped the door slightly before pushing it open. As usual, the class was packed. Even those who never bothered to show up for classes were here. Duncan had to be a people magnet or something. I peeked through the door by my head first, then entered slowly. I chanced a look at him to find him glaring at hi
CRYSTAL POVLater that day, I sat on the carpeted floor of my living room, an ice cream tub in front of me, wet tissue papers loitering the entire floor, and my best friend staring at my face with her hawk eyes. My eyes were so puffy from crying, and my face was probably twice its normal size. I seriously didn’t even want to know what I looked like right now.“Okay…” Anna exclaimed before scooping a generous amount of ice cream from the tub and holding it up in front of me. I sniffled the tears back and wiped them with the sleeves of my oversized sweater, before opening my mouth. She shoved the entire spoon and left it hanging from my mouth. I took it with my other hand and placed it back into the tub, then leaned back onto the couch behind me.“Detective Anna to the rescue.” She pulled her MacBook onto her lap and her hands hovering above the keyboard. She tossed her head upwards and gave me a penetrating gaze.“Give me a name.” She said with a straight face, void of any playfulness
DUNCAN POVShe was angry!It pained me that I made her upset, but she needed to learn how to be vigilant. What we were doing here was blasphemy beyond blasphemies. There was just too much at stake and if we missed even a single thing, even the tiniest thing could lead to the whole thing exploding. I didn’t care much about my job honestly and it wouldn’t hurt even if I was fired for fuckin’ one of my students. But what I was worried about the most was her.She would lose her friends, her reputation would be in tatters, and the whole world would just turn ugly on her. She deserved better than that.Yes, being all sneaky and shit was just the highlight of it all. But still, we got to be careful.After a long day of jumping from one class to another, I headed straight to my penthouse and didn’t bother to stop at the big house. There was no point and I was all about following the therapist’s orders. And if I were to be slightly honest, I had nothing that mattered in that house. Aurora was
CRYSTAL POVThe rest of the week whooshed by in a fraction of a heartbeat, and I was still adamant in my wholesome crusade of being presumptuously and royally petty. It may be outlawed in the world of Doms and Subs to do what I was doing, but fuck it!Duncan needed to be taught a lesson as well. And I didn't mind being his tutor and forcing him into some Learning Training. Hopefully, he'd have something to flaunt as the certificate of excellence when I finish with him. And with that thought in mind, I made sure to ignore his possible aliveness for almost a week. Thursday came, and I was still head-on about not disregarding him by all means possible. However, that was hindered when Burkie woke up with an ugly fever, so bad that I had to run him to the hospital and gave up the whole idea of showing up to school.Thank God there was a little group to which they sent the notes, or else I would be a lump of dead meat.Anna stopped by in the morning to pick Rosey up for school, while I st
DUNCAN POV“Daddy won’t be gone for too long, okay?" I cooed softly and on my knees, staring into the deep grey eyes of my daughter who gave me a small nod before staring at the mountainous lump of meat that stood unmoving beside her, then stared back at me with a faint smile.“Come give daddy a hug.” I opened my arms wide, and Aurora threw herself at me before I attacked her plump cheeks with kisses, wrenching small lovely giggles from out of her. I glanced at Domenico who opened his arms wide, then gave Aurora to him. He pulled her closer to his chest, cradling the back of her small head with his big palm protectively.“Thanks for doing this man.” I stared at him, as he started rocking up and down, as though he was lulling Aurora. He was such a daddy bear. In more ways I wasn't. Not that I wasn't any less of a dad but Domenico was just... too into it.“Don’t sweat it. Wait until I beat your ass at poker.” He turned around and started to walk off to the living room. I followed closel
