All Chapters of FOUR SHADES OF DREY: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

CHAPTER 40Dreylen "I said, what if I don't want to do this anymore. What if I want out.""You don't get out." Dreyven's voice drops to something deadly. "We're brothers. We made a plan. You agreed to it. You don't get to back out now just because you caught feelings.""Why not?" I challenge. "This was your revenge plot, Ven. Not mine. I went along with it because you're my brother and I'd do anything for you. But I never wanted to hurt her. I told you that from the beginning.""Then you shouldn't have agreed to participate.""You're right. I shouldn't have." I look at each of my brothers. "But I did. And now I'm in too deep. And I don't know how to get out without destroying either her or us."Drayton sighs. "This is exactly what I was afraid of.""You're falling for her too, aren't you?" I look at him. "Don't pretend you're not. I've seen the way you look at her after training sessions. The way you talk about her progress like it actually matters to you."Drayton doesn't answer, bu

Chapter 42Aurelia I was done waiting and done wondering and done letting fear hold me back from something I wanted so badly I could taste it.And tonight when I saw him I was going to kiss him and I didn't care if it was forward or if it wasn't ladylike or if it made me seem desperate because the truth was I was desperate, desperate for him and for his touch and for the feeling of being wanted that I'd only experienced once two weeks ago.I wasn't going to let fear control me anymore and I wasn't going to sit around hoping he'd eventually decide I was worth kissing again because I was worth it and I knew it and I needed him to know it too. The old Aurelia would have waited forever and made herself small and convinced herself she didn't deserve to ask for what she wanted but the new Aurelia, the one Drey had helped me become, knew better and she was going to take what she wanted even if her hands shook while doing it.He'd texted me earlier to meet him at eight tonight and said to d

Chapter 44Dreyven "What?" Her voice was small and confused and hurt."I said leave and go back to your dorm, we're done for tonight." I couldn't look at her because if I looked at her I might apologize and I might pull her back into my arms and I might do something I'd regret even more than what I'd already done."Drey, what's wrong and did I do something wrong and I'm sorry if I was too forward but I thought..." She was rambling and I could hear tears in her voice and I hated that it affected me and I hated even more that I wanted to comfort her."Just go, Aurelia." I used her full name deliberately because it created distance and it reminded both of us that whatever had just happened didn't mean anything.She sat there for another moment and I could feel her staring at me and waiting for an explanation I couldn't give, then she opened the door and got out, I heard her footsteps walking away and I finally allowed myself to breathe. The second she was out of sight I slammed my han

Chapter 46DreyvenHer fingers threaded through my hair tugging it, and the slight pain sent pleasure shooting straight to my dick. I groaned against her mouth and deepened the kiss even more. She tasted like toothpaste, tears and something uniquely her, and I wanted to memorize every flavor, every texture and every small sound she made when I did something she liked. My hands roamed up under her t-shirt and found bare skin, she gasped and arched into my touch. I realized she wasn't wearing a bra and that knowledge made me growl low in my throat."Drey," she moaned against my lips, hearing my name in that breathy, wanting voice made me lose whatever small amount of control I had left.I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist, carried her to the bed and laid her down, followed her down and covered her body with mine.I kissed her neck, her collarbone and that spot just behind her ear that made her shiver. Her hands were everywhere, tugging at my shirt, running down

Chapter 48Drayven "She doesn't skip classes," Drayton added. "In all the weeks I've been training her she's never once missed a workout or been late to anything, so if she wasn't there it's because she saw you and didn't want to talk to you.""This is getting worse," I said and started pacing because I couldn't stand still when I felt like this. "She's angry and hurt and avoiding me and meanwhile we're all still lying to her and we need to fix this now before it gets even more fucked up.""Then we need to sort this out," Dreylen said and he stood up and looked at Drayton and Dreyden. "All of us need to figure out what we're doing because our feelings are involved now and if we keep going with the original plan we're going to destroy her and ourselves in the process.""I'm the one who's going to tell her," I insisted. "I started this and I'm going to end it and you three need to let me do this my way."They all looked at each other and I could see them having some kind of silent co
