Chapter Thirty Four- Ghost
Jackson's POV
Days passed. Too many shifts from day to night and back to a new sunrise to care to count. I used to think of each new sight of the rising sun as a way to spend it with Amara and now I was loathing its presence knowing I was mourning her. It made me sick. Too sick to eat and sleep only coming from pure exhaustion. Anytime Danielle tried to get near me I was violent enough to keep her away. Because even if Amara's heart ceased to beat, mine would still belong to her. Everything began to blur. Days. Pain. Light. The only thing I held now were my memories. They haunted and liberated me in equal measure. I craved the illusion they brought in the form of Amara to perfection. She came to me with sorry eyes and a kind hand telling me it wasn't my fault. That she forgave me and understood how I had done my best. But one look in those doe eyes and my own were too misty to cherish the sight of her conjured by me, for me. Even the soft weight of her heRelated chapters
Avowed Chapter Thirty Five- Reborn
Amara’s POVFour months agoEverything happened in such quick succession that I was forced to endure it as if I was no longer in my own body to experience it. Danielle's threats and torments, her bullshit audio of what I'm sure was a way for Jackson to keep us both safe, echoed around me as my eyes diverted towards an exit. It was a rather small yacht, decrepit and overrun with enough armed brawn to make an escape a feeble and brainless attempt. Still, with keys set in my hand to strike, I reached forward and managed to swipe her arm. It was the only time I'd have the upper hand against her however as I was taken by strength I couldn't fight and pulled where I would only watch her circle me. “I can see it. You have the innocent prey thing going on. But Jackson needs a woman who can really take care of him. One who can go all night. One who can shed blood if he asks-or even if he doesn't-” This was the first strike she made. It was a simple slap that sti
Avowed Chapter Thirty Six- Mine
Jackson's POVThe feverish rush of my lips settled into a slow strike of my tongue against hers. What began as a need to dominate became a necessity to confirm. Her hands on my arms were taken to my face as I needed to validate that she was truly beneath me and not some fantasy. The tender placement of her nails began to threaten my jaw as it clenched to her touch. As she moaned to a recent stroke of my tongue, I released her wrists and began my own physical perusal. “Take this off…” My voice rasped. She wore a raincoat that concealed too much of her from me. I needed her curves in my hands and her racing heart naked against my own. But as the material came free and she was revealed to me as if it were the first time, she had changed. The perfection was hollow. It remained in majority but was simplified. She had lost weight and the wonder as to why made my heart clench and my stomach wrap into a knot. Seeing the sadness in my eyes, she pulled me back into a ki
Avowed Chapter Thirty Seven- Yours
Amara's POVWife. It was a label I wasn't sure I'd ever hear again. Especially not from his swollen lips. If so, I imagined it would be a replay of a memory when my heart ached and I was desperate for some remaining tether to him. So to look at him now with the determination to prove our titles and ownership of each other, it was everything I'd wanted for months. “Please untie my hands…” I asked with as much confidence as I could muster despite the fact my thighs were still trembling. “I'm not done.” He cocked a brow as I tried against my restraints. “Please…it's all I've thought about for months.” It wasn't always sexual but it definitely wasn't sporadic when it was. With him before me now without a distance, I wasn't going to let him dominate me without at least understanding my own motivations and desperations. “Did you let anyone else try to fill that void for you?” His question was spat as he released enough tension on the belt to
Avowed Chapter Thirty Eight- Predator and Prey
Jackson's POV“There's no other way?” Amara whined as she stood in front of the floor length mirror with her dress held up over her breasts. Without needing to be asked, I came behind her to zip up the split fabric as our eyes met in the reflection. “She'll have her guard down tonight.” The pout making up Amara's features made me want to bruise her lips for thinking I hadn't thought of every other option. But Danielle has gotten one up on each of us before. She wouldn't get the chance again. “But why do you have to kiss her?” I grinned. I shouldn't have as I knew it was insensitive but I loved watching how jealous she was for me. As if I had the capacity to even try to think about anyone else, let alone act on it by choice, the scoff came out as a natural expression. “Because I told her I never would. It will lower her defenses enough to trust my intentions. That's only if it comes to it.” “But nothing else will happen…right?” Even thou
Avowed Chapter Thirty Nine- Cuts Like A Knife
Amara’s POV I have waited four months for Danielle to get her karma. Some lacerations scarred, but it wasn't the constant memory of her success on my skin that made me vengeful. It was the time away from Jackson. So what was another hour or so?“Everything is going to be fine…” Cutter attempted to soothe me as I was bouncing on the balls of my feet while seated in the car. But all I could think about was Jackson being alone with her. What if he liked the experience she had? What if he got stuck somewhere that we couldn't get to him? What if she had known that this was a ruse all along? “He has faced worse than Danielle.” I visibly cringed at the sound of her name. This woman single handedly had the claim of my life at the end of her fingertips. She was nothing but spite and homicidal tendencies with an obsession for my husband. The idea of him being alone with her was understandable in making me manic. After all, what I knew was going on in that car ahead of u
Avowed Chapter Forty- Karma
Amara’s POVMy feet couldn't move fast enough as I made my way into the lobby of the apartment complex. Still, it was fast enough to access the elevator without being stopped by the receptionist. The doors came closed in the final second and I began to transcend. Without a weapon. Or a plan. When the doors did come open, I found the apartment in a short disarray and the sight of motionless feet around the first corner. The same kinds of shoes all men in Jackson's line of work seemed to wear in their reflective sheen. I moved carefully around the corner before finding ironed pants stained with blood that came to an open torso riddled with even more crimson. Higher still was a face turned aside. As I lowered to verify who it was, a sudden force took me against them. A hand to my mouth and a thick corded arm around my torso, I was pulled to a familiar chest. It was made of the same stone that gave a contradicting comfort of a raging heart and a protective
Avowed Chapter Forty One- Adrenaline
Jackson's POVHow did I manage from mauling her in the car? Your guess is as good as mine. If I wasn't already head over heels twice over for my wife, the way she was so brazen and jealous in front of Danielle was the solidifying property. Even now as she sat at my side in silence after I ignored her first question of where we were going, I had to touch her. My hand was set in possession on her thigh as if to keep her on the seat. All the while, I was fighting from making her paint my passenger seat with her cum for being a good little wife. But for the ways she defied both Cutter and me, she needed to learn there were consequences so she got silence and sexual postponement. There were three places I desperately wanted to take her. The first was too far away that I think my cock would actually burst if I had to wait that long. The second was close enough but was a bit too public for the depraved lesson she needed to learn. The third was going to be per
Avowed Chapter Forty Two- The Higher the Pedestal
Amara’s POVThree months later.I fiddled nervously with my recent manicure. Esmeralda insisted it would give me more respect but it had only become a nuisance since it dried yesterday.Everything felt out of place and everyone seemed to source me with a mutual sense of understanding- I did not belong here. Even if my maiden name was etched into the building towering over most in Boston, I was never meant to be at its helm. But with my father’s ‘disappearance’, I was the next of kin. This meant not only was I left to deal with the assets of his house, but also the business he left without a word. Until last week there had been a second-in-command. But since his death was announced in the paper, they were looking for someone to fill his rol
