Chapter 011: I Knew It

MEEKA’S POV::The next day crawls by slower than usual.I’m at work, staring at my computer screen, pretending to be productive while my brain keeps replaying last night like some twisted rerun I can’t switch off.The office is quiet, with just the low hum of printers, the click of keyboards, and the occasional annoying laughs from the next desk. Everything looks painfully normal, which somehow makes me feel worse. Like the world didn’t care that I spent half the night, wondering what the hell I’m doing with my life.My phone vibrates across the desk, cutting through the silence. I glance at the screen, expecting an email. But it isn't. It's my Mom instead.I blink, frowning a little before picking up. “Hey, Mom.”“Hey, baby,” she says, her voice warm and sweet. The sound I didn't know I actually craved to hear. “Are you at work?”“Mm-hm. What’s up?”“Oh, nothing. I just wanted to hear your voice.”There’s a pause. One too long to be casual.“Actually.… could you stop by after work? I

Chapter 012: Wandered Too Far

MEEKA’S POV::Everyone seems so worried about Nathaniel, and no one ever asks if I’m okay.I’m shaking, and I don’t even know what part of me is responsible. Fear? Anger? The cold?Maybe all three. Maybe I’m just tired of everything and my body is trying to tap out.I didn’t even notice how dark the sky got. The whole atmosphere feels.… wrong. Heavy. Like the kind of night where nothing good happens.Amazing. Just perfect. As if I needed another thing weighing on my chest.I slide into my car and slam the door harder than I intend. My breath spills out in a shaky rush, fogging the window. My pulse is still all over the place. From Mom, from Nathaniel, from walking away before I did something stupid and irreversibly damaging.Mom always thinking I'm at fault whenever Nathaniel and I have an issue.Nathaniel pulling this same old bullshit.And me…. feeling like an outsider in my own life.I grip the steering wheel until my fingers start to ache. I just want to go home. To be alone. To h

Chapter 013: There's Only One Available

He steps even closer, the rain dripping off him like he’s part of the storm itself.I swallow hard, hugging my arms around myself. “Slade…. what are you doing here?”His eyes flick down my soaked clothes, then back to my face. “Saving you, apparently.”“I don’t need saving.” My voice shakes with embarrassment.His smirk deepens. “Right. That's why you’re standing in a dead car, in a flood storm, shaking like a leaf?”My jaw hardens. “I just need to get home—”“No.” The word is sharp and final.“I said I need to go home,” I repeat, louder this time.“And I said no.” Slade tilts his head, rain sliding over the scar on his jaw. “Unless you’re planning to drown in a gutter, Little Rebel.”Before I can fire back, someone materializes behind him. It's one of his men, I think. Tall and dressed in black, holding a large umbrella like he’s been waiting for a command.Slade nods once, and the man steps closer, shielding me from the rain.I blink, trying as much as I can to protest. “I—I don’t n

Chapter 014: Now You're Not

SLADE'S POV::The door closes behind her, and I have to sit down before I do something stupid. Something like following her in there and peeling those wet clothes off myself.She’s changing into my shirt. My fucking shirt, and I'm finding it difficult to control myself.I drag a hand down my face, exhaling hard in frustration.I shouldn’t want her like this. Not tonight.Not when she’s cold and shaking and hurting.But want has never listened to reason when it comes to Meeka Clemson.The bathroom door opens minutes later, and I swear the world fucking stops.She steps out slowly with damp hair, her legs bare, drowning in my black shirt. It hits mid-thigh, barely.Holly hell.My restraint snaps straight in half, and I immediately move toward her without thinking. Her eyes widen, and her fingers clutch the edge of the shirt like she suddenly realizes what she’s wearing.And she should, because the sight of her in my clothes feels like a claim I didn’t ask for permission to make.When I’

Chapter 015: Please Fuck Me With Them

Her legs buckle again, and she nearly sinks. I catch her waist before she collapses, pulling her into me like she’s something I paid blood for. She grips my shirt, trembling.“Why.… why the hell did you do that?” she asks, voice shaking like she already knows the answer.I tilt her chin up with two fingers, forcing her into my darkness.“Because I should’ve taken it off since at your engagement party.” My voice drops lower.“Because he doesn’t get to claim what responds to me like this.”Her chest shivers against mine, she’s breathing too fast. She hates it, but she needs it. And she doesn’t know what to do with it.I slide my hand into her hair, gripping at the roots just enough to pull a gasp out of her.“You want me to stop?” I ask, voice edged with cruel amusement. “You really want to lie again, Little Rebel?”“Slade…. this isn't right,” she whispers, but her voice breaks on the last word.I let out a dark, victorious smile.“I stopped caring about right and wrong the second I fou

Chapter 016: That's My Good Little Rebel

I don’t think nor breathe, I just move.My hand leaves her wrist and grips her jaw, firm and commanding. I tilt her head up and she gasps, her lips parting just slightly. That tiny involuntary invitation wrecks something inside me.“Fucking hell, Meeka,” I growl lowly, my voice rough. And then in the next seconds, I’m on her. Not her mouth, but her throat.My mouth crashes onto her neck with a force that makes her gasp. Her whole body jolts like she wasn’t prepared for the way I latch on with no hesitation, no asking. Just claiming.She melts, tries to inhale, but I steal the breath from her throat, from her skin, from everywhere except her lips.Her wrists slip free and fall to my chest, grabbing, clutching, pulling me closer with a desperation she doesn’t even realize she’s showing.Her hands fly to the back of my head, trying to lift my face up toward her mouth. She tries to kiss me, but I don’t let her.I turn my head slightly, letting her lips graze only my cheek instead as I ho

Chapter 017: Control-Alt-Delete

MEEKA'S POV::The ache wakes me up first. It's so deep, low, and impossible to ignore.My eyes snap open, and for a whole five seconds I seriously consider pretending I'm dead. It's easier. Anything is easier than acknowledging the way my thighs brush together and send a traitorous spark shooting straight up my spine.I sit up too fast, the sunlight stabbing my eyes as I dart them around the room-my room, and this is definitely my bed.Wait. How the hell did I get home last night?The last thing I remember, is that I was in Slade's room, Slade's bed, Slade's everything, really.My stomach drops instantly. No, seriously. When did I get home?"Did he-?" I groan, dragging a hand down my face. "Of course he did. Anything is possible with that man. He probably carried me here like a sack of sin."God. I was that drained? That out of it? That shamelessly undone that I didn't even feel him take me home?Fuck. I let him in again. This time, with my clear eyes. This time, knowing who he actual

Chapter 018: Where's Your Ring

But I don't have time to fall apart. I still have a.... well, fiancé. A slightly insufferable, predictable fiancé who called me three times last night. Again. After I've ignored his calls since what happened between us the other night.I stare at my phone, staring at the three missed calls from Nathaniel. Then there's a message. Just one message.* Can you stop ignoring me, Meeka? Call me when you wake up. Please. *My stomach twists. I should call him and apologize. I should....Yeah. I won’t. He’s the one at fault, and I have every right to ignore him. This is what he does every single time. He does his shit, plays the victim, and I’m the one who ends up apologizing. Pathetic, isn’t it?I’m still pissed he ran to my mom like a child, but that’s not even the reason I don’t want to call him anymore.I just can't call him right now, not when every cell in my body still remembers someone else.I dress up fast, wearing jeans, soft sweater and sandals. Normal clothes for a girl who defin

Chapter 019: Loud And Sexy

My throat feels tight, too tight it feels like I'm being strangled.My goddamn engagement ring is gone and I had no idea of it until now that Nathaniel just pointed it out.“I…” I stammer, unable to come up with a good lie. “I… forgot to wear it.”Nice one, idiot.Nathaniel blinks. “Forgot? Meeka, you hardly forget things, especially your ring.”I swallow the hard lump suddenly stuck on my throat. It feels like trying to force down a brick.That wasn't a lie. I've been wearing that ring like a trophy since I got it, and hardly take it off my finger.“I rushed out,” I say quickly. “I was half-asleep. I didn’t even realize—”“You always realize. You're too observant to not realize things, Meeka.”His tone isn’t accusing. It’s confused and worried. And that makes my stomach twist even more violently because he shouldn’t care this much about me not wearing a common ring. He shouldn’t sound this sincere. He shouldn’t....God, I'm completely cooked!Nathaniel steps closer. “Did something ha

Chapter 020: Who Slept Here

I stop walking, and just stand frozen on the same spot, heat crawling up my spine, sharp and humiliating. My thighs press together on instinct, traitorous muscle memory responding before my brain can slap it down.My eyes stay locked on my phone long after the screen goes dark, like it might suddenly confess something I don’t already know.Slade brought me home last night, but he intentionally didn’t return the ring he’d yanked off my finger with a grip so tight, his jaw locked with a rage I still don’t understand. And then he’d just… left. Like that was supposed to be normal.My chest squeezes.That man knows far more than I want to admit, and it’s starting to scare me.How did he know I was going to see Nathaniel this morning?And more disturbing—borderline chilling, how did he know I was already here, that Nathaniel had noticed the missing ring?Is Slade… stalking me?Instinctively, and utterly sillily, I sta
