DacreI had cut off my relationship or whatever it was with Clarissa in the worst way possible. I knew the first time I had kissed her in the pub that she was a mistake.And the second time when I kissed her in the forest while groping her small breasts that she was a drug.I could not get enough of her no matter how much I told myself that she was just another girl, an inexperienced virgin who wanted to be taught.A part of me had known that giving in to the craving would only make her more irresistible to me. But, I had thought that I would just take a taste of her and then leave her. That I would prove it to myself that I was not affected by those dove like eyes and that innocent looking face.A more evil idea had been to make her want me in such a way that she would never again crave someone else.But only now did I realize that I had not been the master planner. The brown haired girl with her gray eyes and petite figure had done that to me.She had made me want her like nothing e

ClarissaAs we all sat back in the car, I could not shake the thought of those eyes watching me. I racked my brain to recall when was the last time I had seen them.If my memory was not failing me, it had been back at home, when we were in the study and mom had made us draw runes.Then again, I saw those eyes from the window of my room. All these days everything had been silent.With a jolt, I realized that I had also not dreamt of the handsome man burning up in flames ever since I had left home.Instead, another sinful young man had taken his place. But I quashed the thought of Dacre faster than it could take up space in my head again.I viciously buried it and began to think about the events and how they had unfolded over the past few weeks.The eyes that had been tailing me, the dreams about the young man, then meeting Dacre, Miranda being chased by a demon, her pointing her finger at me before her death, then the visions that I saw.Was it really my mind that had been hallucinatin

ClarissaShe said before finally opening her eyes. “So the runes being etched on the demon’s back were the ones you drew on the notebook? That is interesting.”I bit my lip nervously, feeling anything but interested in the discussion.“Come on, we have to go draw the runes”I said as I gobbled up a sandwich and gulped down the juice. I skipped bathing for today as I was not in the mood.Talia hopped towards the bathroom as I finished my share of food and headed straight to the study.As expected mom was waiting for us with a book in her hand and our notebooks were lying open.She had not drawn a rune on the board like usual.I walked in and greeted her.“Good morning, Mom”“Good morning, birthday girl”She said and I blinked, “The birthday is tomorrow not today”“Doesn't make you 'not' a birthday girl”She smiled and I smiled in return.“Where is your sister?” She asked as she lifted a marker fro mthe table.“She went to shower, She will be here any minute”“So, I was thinking of a b

ClarissaTalia was naturally a magnet who attracted guys to herself. I, despite being her replica, failed at it, quite miserably at that.Jake got down and placed her foot on his knee and rolled up her pants as he ruffled for a pain reliever spray from the first aid kit lying nearby.When he was done, he gingerly placed her foot back on the ground and said,“I guess, you should rest for a while. Join us when you feel that you can walk.”He said with a smile as then he turned his attention to me.I had been staring at him with squinted eyes and the way he had been so careful with her.I somehow imagined Dacre and the rough way he had handled me, pushed me back on the tree, and kissed me until my lips were sore.How would it feel to be loved and kissed gently? Would it be as exciting?I was dragged out of my thoughts as Jake snapped his fingers in front of my face.“Where are you lost?”He asked and I answered, “I was just…never mind. What are we going to do now?”“Let us do some stretc

ClarissaThe room was quiet except for the sound of our moans and labored breathing as his hand began roaming all over my body.He was being so sweet and careful that I had to stop kissing and add,“I am not a glass vase to break that you are being so careful”Jake furrowed his eyebrows and I was about to kiss him back again but he stopped me.“What is wrong, Clary?”He asked and I tried to not snap at him.However, my face did a poor job of hiding my frustration.“Nothing is wrong. We are kissing each other, that’s it.”I said and leaned in towards him again, my hand reaching for his belt buckle but he stopped me. Again.“Clary, this is not you. I have known you all my life. Can you please tell me what is going on?”He asked.I searched his face for a hint of sarcasm but he was genuinely curious.“I would have answered you, but I don't know that myself.”I spoke in all honesty.Jake’s hand left my ass and he gently lowered me to the ground.He then adjusted my hair and smoothed it do
