RYDER.
"I'm not doing this with you Oliver, get the fuck out of my face!"
I glare at the smirking guy that's standing before me and he chuckles before moving closer to me.
"Why? Are you not so sure of yourself anymore? You're scared you're going to get yourself pumped?"
He raises his brows at me and I shake my head. I know what he's trying to do. He's trying to get into my head, and I'm not going to let him, I have played this game too many times with him not to know the result of it. We are going to drag this to the ring obviously, and it will end with one of us getting beaten... Badly by the second one. Most of the time, he's always at the receiving end, but I can't say that he doesn't get me sometimes too. He does.
Oliver is a fighter just like I am. The only difference between us is that he fights for money and for reputation but as in my case, I fight to keep my senses at sane.
DAWN."I'm glad you're getting the hang of it. Seems like you'll be better than me pretty soon. "Sinclair says as he looks through my work and I let out a small laugh, shaking my head.It's been a week and some days since he's been coaching me and I can proudly say that I really enjoy his teachings apart from the stares he keeps giving me which I'm glad has stopped a little over the days.Nine days since that might, and we haven't really be talking. I try my very best to avoid him, and it seems he isn't bothered about it either which is perfectly fine with me.It's almost two weeks since I've been here and the deal was for a month, so I'll be out of here before we even know it and then, we can go back to being complete strangers which is also alright with me."Okay, so I'm just going to give you this to go through, so we can discuss it tomorrow. Your e
KIRA."So you just allow her to leave like that? You didn't even tell us that you were planning to meet up with her!"Lily yells and I roll my eyes before sliding in the booth next to Bryan who has been strangely quiet ever since I brought up the talk."I don't know. She wanted to keep it low-key, and it was either I or neither of us see her at all which is way worse because I have a lot of things to talk to her about."I shrug, purposely drawing on the straw of the smoothie to keep my damn mouth shut, so I don't go around and start blabbing out everything she has told me and warned me to keep a secret.I still can't believe that she is just helping Ryder Smith but at least, it's way better than having to think she ran away with him. Into the stupid sunshine or any fucking thing they call that in fairy tales."So what did she tell you then? I mean did y
RYDER.Her lips move fast against mine as I grip the back of her thighs, rubbing slowly and drawing circles around it before wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her off the stool, she clings tightly to my body for dare life, so I don't drop her off and I would have laughed at her if I am not in a dire need for her.Even as she wraps her arms around my waist, bringing her chest flushed against mine and her tiny arms going around my neck, I still can't help but to ponder over the question that's been going on in my head for weeks.What is it about her? What is it about her that makes me want to hold on to her? What is it about her that makes me want to bring her close? What is it about her that's so fucking special? I just don't get it, what is it about Dawn Meek? The girl that's in my arms right now.I pull back, pushing her body back to hit the wall, and she's staring at me. Her
*FIVE DAYS LATER*DAWN."Are you sure you're going to be fine? I can just have the papers delivered here, so you can take it in your own comfort zone. "He raises his brows at me as he sits on the bed and I chuckle, giving him a look before turning back to the mirror."Ryder. It's fine, it's just exams and school. I'll be fine and besides you've already decided that I go with guards no matter how much I try to convince you that I do not need them. "I roll my eyes before grabbing the wristwatch and locking it around my wrist."Yes, and I'm glad that I have the power to not listen to you."He gives me a smirk as I turn back to look at him and I roll my eyes before grabbing my handbag. I won't really be needing my backpack since it's just exams."Aren't you supposed to be at the office or something? Why are
DAWN.My eyes are wide, almost bulging out of their sockets with my mouth hang open, closing and opening at certain intervals as I think of what to say, but I can't get my brain to process anything. I'm shocked beyond words, I never expect something like this. Bryan? In love with me? I'm completely and utterly dumbfounded.What do you say when your long time friend tell you that he's in love with you, but you don't feel the same way towards him? I don't fucking know."You don't have to say anything. "He laughs as if he can read my thoughts and I let out a sigh, leaning against the tree with my knees pulled up to my chest."I don't know what to say. I'm sorry, I'm just surprised. I wasn't expecting anything of such. "He nods his head, mimicking my action and leaning against the tree."I know. I don't want you to say anything either because I know you don't fe
DAWN."Where are we?"I gulp in, turning to stare at him, and he smirks at me before shrugging, saying nothing not making any attempt to answer my question.He walks out of the car and I grab my bag next to me, pulling my phone out of it, my fingers shaking as I try to call his number, but the phone is grabbed from me abruptly.I turn to the other side, and he's standing by the door, wriggling his eyebrows at me. How the fuck did I not even hear the door open?"Not so fast Dawn. I and you are going to have a little talking session. ""What do you want from me?"I sigh, staring at the dark eyes guy in front of me, and I'm replied with a shrug."I just want to find out whom you really are and what make my friend so interested in you, trust me I do not mean any harm. "He leans back, raising hi
RYDER.My lips move fast against her in a hurry to feel her. I want to feel her completely against my touch. I need to feel her. The depth of my need for her truly scares me but at this moment, with her flushed against me, I sincerely do not care. As long as she's here.I was going to go fucking insane, or I was going insane when I saw the news. I knew I shouldn't have listened to her but damn her for being so fucking stubborn! My heart arch when I learned that she's been kidnapped, and I thought of the only one that I know would be capable of that. Fucking Oliver. Relief flushed through me when I found out he's the one, not because I fancy the idea of him kidnapping her, but because I knew I would be able to get her back. She would be fine or at least I hoped so because that bastard can decide to do anything to her.I'm surprised at how much my body wasn't settled. I couldn't think of anything else but having to g
DAWN.I let out a soft sigh as my eyes furors, my mind assimilating the surrounding view. Something is latched on me I'm sure or rather someone. I stare down to see his mouth still wrapped around my breast, his arms around me and my fingers is buried in his hair. Soft moans slips through his throat and I chuckle at the ridiculous position we are in.Realizing we are still on the field, and it's getting dark, I tap against his forehead, and he stirs in his sleep but doesn't get up, instead his mouth tightens on my breast, sucking on it and his teeth bites my nipple while I fight the urge to let out a moan."Ryder. "I stroke his hair while using my other hand to shake him."Ryder come on, it's getting dark. "I shake him harder and his eyelids stirs open. He stares around, his gaze landing on me and I feel warmth spread across my cheeks with him seeing t
