SMACK!
Damian looked shocked at first as Adeline's hand landed on his cheek, but then, his lips twisted into a grin.
The girl got fire inside, and he liked that. It'll be more fun to try and tame her.
"What are you smiling about, asshole? Do you think this is a joke?" Adeline was fuming.
"No, I don't. And I dare you to hit me again, " he said and grabbed her hand. "Go ahead. Use your other hand to hit me again and then see what happens," he said in a low and menacing tone.
Adeline shivered. Amusement suddenly disappeared from Damien's eyes, and it was replaced by darkness. He had stopped playing with her. He was starting to get angry.
But she couldn't show him weakness. She was still not scared of him. He can go fuck himself.
"I'm not scared of you," her voice shook, indicating she wasn't completely honest.
Damien leaned over. "I get that you're trying to look out for your cousin, but I don't want her. I want you," his eyes were dark and determined.
Adeline felt her heart flutter, but she ignored it. It didn't matter how good-looking this guy was. He was still an asshole.
"Just leave me alone," she said and stood up to leave. Damian stood up too and towered over her.
Adeline shivered when she looked into his icy blue eyes. There was something feral about the way he looked at her. Something other than anger.
Lust.
He suddenly grabbed her waist and pressed his lips on hers, not so gently. His tongue forcefully parted her mouth.
Adeline froze in place. She placed her hands on his chest to push him off. Instead, she gripped his shirt tightly. Before she knew what was happening, she found herself kissing him back.
Fuck, she tastes better than I imagined, he thought with his eyes closed.
Adeline's eyes snapped open as if she had just woken up from her trance. She shoved him off immediately. Her face was flushed. She was fuming.
"Y...you asshole!"
"You don't want to cross me, babygirl. When I want something, I take it," Damien sneered in response.
Adeline stormed off without saying another word.
She is bold but stupid, Damien thought to himself. He lit a cigarette and decided to forget about her for the day.
"There's no smoking in the school property."
Damien smirked as he heard his sister's voice behind him.
"What I do is none of your business," Damien barked.
Natasha sky stood in front of Damien with a sly grin on her face. She had witnessed the entire interaction between her brother and the new girl.
"You just couldn't help pouncing on the fresh meat, huh asshole?" she remarked.
Damien narrowed his eyes. "Is that a problem for you, my dear sister?"
"I just think she seems a little different than your usual taste. Kinda plain if you ask me," Natasha scoffed.
"Then you must be blind or stupid," he barked.
"Whatever, I came here to ask you for a favor," Natasha hesitated.
"What the fuck do you want?" Damien asked crudely.
"Well...um...I kind of spent all my allowance, so I was wondering if you could give me more cash," Natasha scratched her neck and let out a nervous laugh.
"You're shitting me, right? You spent your entire allowance? What the hell are you doing, Tasha? You've been seeing Marco again, haven't you?" Damien gripped her shoulder and glared at her. Natasha's smile didn't falter as she was used to Damien's aggressive behavior.
"So what if I am? Can I have some money from you, or should I try somewhere else?" she said with a tight jaw.
Damien trod carefully. He didn't want Natasha to get in any more trouble. She was still his sister. "Fine, here's a 100 bucks. Get the fuck out of my face," he snarled.
"Thank you! I knew I could count on you, bro," she tiptoed to give him a hug then ran off. Damien sighed. He wanted to help his sister in anyway he could, but she made it difficult for him. He decided to forget about it and head back to his class.
He halted in the middle of the hallway as he saw Adeline standing in front of her locker. A few feet away from her stood two boys. Damien recognized them as his younger brother's goons.
"Look at her ass, sexy, isn't it?" the one with jet black hair cackled.
"I bet she tastes as good as she looks," the tall one with blonde hair whispered.
Typical assholes lusting over the new girl, Damien thought irritably. He wasn't surprised as he had the same thing in mind for her, but he couldn't let them have her before him! He made a mental note to keep an eye on her, then kept walking toward his class.
After school, it was time for his secret training session. The worst part of the day. Nope, scratch that. It was only one of the worst things. At least he made his own choice to attend this as opposed to what his family put him through. He sighed and changed into his workout clothes, then headed to the private gym.
"Damien Sky. I'm surprised you showed up after our last session," his Prepod Antonove
raised his eyebrows. "I hope we won't have any more problems with disciplines this time?"Damien rolled his eyes. "I'm here to learn Prepod, don't worry," he said.
"Good. Get on the floor and start."
He prepared himself mentally to fight his opponent. He had been secretly learning Systema, a Russian martial art developed for the Russian special forces. It was designed to teach him endurance, high tolerance for pain, and concentration. All of these what he needed in order to survive. To make sure his enemies never get up after he kicked their ass.
He stared at his opponent, who was in the position to attack him. All he had to do today was doge him.
He could do just that, but his concentration broke as his opponent punched him in the gut. He yelped and threw a punch back, but the other guy was able to dodge his attack.
"CONCENTRATE!" Antonove yelled from across the room.
But Damien wasn't listening. Pain shot through his body, and he was blinded by rage. He lunged at his opponent and tried to tackle him without using the techniques he learned so far. The other man grabbed him easily and flung him on the ground.
Shit, he got angry and acted rashly again.
Antonove walked over to him and looked down at him. His eyes were full of disappointment. "You've been training for an entire year but still have no discipline. Moron," he shook his head.
Damien groaned. This was going to be another long training session.
A/N: Hey guys, let me know what do you think of this story so far.
Adeline liked her new school despite the unpleasant encounter with that jerk, Damien. Everyone else seemed nice. Even the girls in her classes were friendly.Girls in her old school never liked her and always made snide remarks about her looks. They were angry about all the attention she received because of it. They called her a slut behind her back, just because she had a nice body. It wasn't like she wanted the boys to lust over her! She never even understood what the big deal was. When she looked in the mirror, all she saw was some average girl with long brown hair and blue eyes. To her, she looked like all the other girls. Nothing special. She wished the boys at school didn't look at her like she was a piece of meat.The bell rang for the last class, so she hurried inside. Hopefully, Damien wasn't in it, she thought to herself. She
Damien didn't make it home until after nine pm. He was sweaty and hot. A nice warm shower was the only thing in his mind after having a long day at school and the gym."Hold it right there."His father's voice echoed through the walls before he could make it to the stairs. What now?"Yes, father," Damien sighed. He turned around to face his father's glaring blue eyes."Where the fuck have you been, you little shit? Did you forget what you were supposed to do today?"Shit, he did forget."I'm sorry. I lost track of time," Damien looked away. His father Ivan walked closer, then roughly gripped his shoulder.
Adeline tried to wash off the icky feelings from the previous day under the running hot water. It was only the first week of school, and she already had to deal with dumbasses like that watered-down version of Damien. What was his name again...Nik? And now it was a new day, and she hoped not to run into those guys or Damien again.She heard the bathroom door open suddenly, and there came Jimmy, casually walking in. She stood there horrified as she heard him peeing. What the fuck?She opened the curtain, covering her naked body with it. "What the hell, Jimmy! I'm in here!" she screamed.Jimmy's lips curled into a smile. He looked at her face and trailed his eyes down as if to try and see her naked body through the curtain. Adeline held the curtain tightly against the body, feeling uncomfortable. "GET OUT!" she cried again."Jeez, Addie, keep your panties on. It's not like you have anything I've never seen before," he
Thursday morning.Another day at school, but Damien didn't mind because compared to his shitty life out there, school seemed like heaven.The first thing he saw walking down the hallway was Adeline. This time, she wasn't alone. Four girls surrounded her. One of them was Molly."What's your problem? I never did anything to you!" Adeline exclaimed."We don't think a slut like you belongs in our school," Molly grumbled."Oh? Then why are you guys are still here?" Adeline snapped.Damien snickered then kept walking as he didn't want to deal with their girly bullshit. He tried to sneak away before Molly noticed him, but she saw him. Her
Adeline went to her class in a sour mood. She had no idea why those girls would be mean to her all of a sudden. And why are they calling her a slut? She hadn't even been here long enough to sleep around with boys. She saw Mandy at her desk and smiled. Mandy looked at her and waved. Oh good, at least Mandy was still on her side."Hey Addie," Mandy greeted her as she put her bag down. "Sooo...I need to ask you something.""What's up?""What the hell were you thinking?" Mandy narrowed her eyes.Adeline raised her eyebrows. "What are you talking about?""Why would you accept a ride from Damien Sky of all people? I warned you about him, didn't I?" Mandy said."Well...what's the big deal? I missed the bus today, and I was going to be late for class, and Robbie insisted, so I figured why not," Adeline shrugged."I mean, now everyone in this school will think you
Vanya took Damien back home after they got the job done at the strip club. Damien was still nauseous from the incident. He has had to endure many torments from his father and his men but never had to hurt someone this badly."Finally popped your cherry, eh mal'chik?" Vanya flashed him a toothy grin. Damien didn't respond. He tried not to think about the man's screams, but he could see that face full of agony every time he closed his eyes. Guess tonight's going to be yet another sleepless night.Ivan was waiting for them at the house. He stood up with his hands in his pockets as he saw Vanya and Damien come in. His eyebrows rose inquiringly as he stared at Damien's pale face."What you got?" he asked Vanya directly.Vanya smirked. "Got the job done. He paid up.""Hmm...good work," Ivan looked at Damien. "What's his deal?" he narrowed his eyebrows."I asked Damien to cut the
Adeline couldn't sleep after Damien left. She kept tossing and turning all night, thinking about him. Why did she let him in? She must've been high or something. Or stupid. After spending hours agonizing and overthinking things, she finally dozed off.In the morning, Adeline realized she had overslept as soon as she opened her eyes. She groaned and rushed to take a shower, but by the time she made it downstairs, she heard the school bus leaving. She cursed under her breath and proceeded to walk out the front door but paused as she saw Damien and Robbie waiting for her outside.He can't seem to leave her alone no matter how hard she pushed him away, Adeline thought to herself. She couldn't help but feel a flutter in her stomach."Who's that punk? You fucking him?"She cringed at Jimmy's crude remark behind her. "That's none of your business," she snarled. She didn't want to deal with him this morning. She i
Damien tried to get Adeline out of his mind, but her face kept appearing in front of him. He kept thinking about how upset she looked when her asswipe of a brother harassed her. But why should he care what happens to her? It was none of his business as she reminds him all the time.He needs to stop being so hung up on Adeline. He wasn't some weak asshole that falls in love with some girl just because she was pretty.Love. What a waste of emotions and time. He saw what happened to his father because he was so in love with his mother. He never cared about him or Nik. His whole world revolved around their mother. She was his queen. When she died, all hell broke loose. He beat and tortured them because he was angry. Angry at the world, angry at them. Especially Damien. Damien had to take on extra beatings because he looked just like his mother. His dad took his anger out on him.Damien wo
