All Chapters of Sinful Nights With Adeline : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

ADELINEA busy day lies ahead of me but that can wait. The feeling of my cold feet rubbed while sipping on my caramel mocha latte. I wanted to tell him to piss off after what happened today but I can’t say no to good coffee and a foot massage.I ushered him into my room, away from communal spaces and from the possibility of seeing my other roommates. Luckily, Croix retired to his room and I’ve yet to see the other two emerge from their cage into the morning light.Wes drops my feet and does a complete sweep of my new room.“It’s nice.” He said with a forced smile. “Yeah?”“It works.” I shrugged.“And your step brother, Croix?” He paused, his smile dropping and his shoulders tense. “I’m kindly assuming that he and the other guys are staying out of your way.”I sigh, running my hands through my semi wet locks, still working out how to answer his question. And deal with his sudden interest in Croix.“If you’re scared, or he tries to fuck with you or your stuff...” He takes a step forwar

DELACROIXIt was just a day ago. The sun had set leaving a glow on her skin. She spent the entire evening practising her cello to perfection. The question was rent free in my mind. What would possess a woman to change the entire trajectory of her life in a few short years? What could push a woman with a junkie of a mother to suddenly possess the aura and musical talents of a Julliard musician with enough skill to push out the best awarded member of the Montgomery Fine Orchestra?I thought I knew everything about this woman. Every single thing that makes her who she is inside and out. After leaving Lana’s tattoo parlour, I’d gotten word that Adeline was headed to the music hall. I watched her spend an hour on the bus station before she hopped on a bus to get to her scheduled meeting.I followed her, dodging onlookers, my hoodie over my head and my bike mask covering my face. I stayed out of sight as I watched her alight the bus and spent a few minutes outside taking deep breaths to c

ADELINE “No.”“Excuse me? After all my pleadings, I get a no?” I said exasperatedly. The asshole is even grinning. Who even does that?“You should prove to me why I need you as my muse and maybe convince me enough.” He shrugged, and then bit into the apple he took from the fruit basket after he washed it in the sink. “You seem stressed; need a massage or a velvet cookie?”I sighed, turning to my room. There was no point arguing and he didn’t come after me, not that I was expecting him to, but yeah, I did expect at least something. He was already warming up to me.I texted Markie and she replied almost immediately. She said something about work and a certain job she’s working on that’s weird as fuck but I needed company so I filled her up everything that has been going on in my life for the past few days. I poured out everything to her and she just listened. I haven’t heard her voice much, just a few times but they are enough to assure me that she’s my biggest supporter right now.MAR

ADELINE “Fine, I agree.”I blinked. Is he serious right now? He could have just said yes yesterday. “Are you just going to stand there?” He asked, his brows furrowed. I wanted to give him a punch in the jaw right now but I calmed myself.“I need to get us a contract. It has to be written down and printed. But I don’t have time for that so I’ll put it down on a piece of paper.” Before he could reply, I dashed out of the room to get a paper and a pen. I hurried back and lucky for me, he has already put on his sweats. I sighed in relief then walked to his desk and took a step scribbling some words on the paper. “You should also add why there’s no sex there...you know for emphasis so I don’t forget.” He muttered, a lazy grin playing on his face.I glanced at him, trying to read through his expressions but they are cheeky and confusing at times. I narrowed my eyes on him. What is he planning? But anyways...I’ll be clueless till then. I shrugged, and put it down then handed him his copy.

ADELINEI missed a note for the seventeenth time. The same fucking note.I slam my hands down on the table, the pain bursting through my veins. I do it again trying not to flinch. The room is still, everything paused except for my ragged breathing. I’m feeling agitated again.I rise suddenly, the bench tipping over. I grab the sheet music and rip the pages from the stand. They fall to the ground around me. Tears burn my eyes and a lump forms in my throat. Before I knew it, the sob wrenched out of me.“Adeline?”I whirl around. Wesley stood at the door to my room, his face etched in concern. “Can I come in?”I was still mad at him but I’m feeling frustrated this evening and for no apparent reason. I wiped my tears from my cheeks hurriedly and gave a nod. He walked in, helping me with the sheet music. “I know I messed up. And I’m sorry. I don’t want to lose you just yet.”I sit down on the bench then pull my legs to my chest hugging it. I get these mood swings at times. It comes when I’
