Bloodstained Promises Chapter 24 : New Life, New Choices
Stepping out of the car, the three of us collected all the boxes and bags that held the little bit of shit I actually did have to my name. Noah, having made his way into the lobby, collected a sleek silver rolling cart because even though I didn’t have that much shit, I didn’t feel like making multiple trips. The sun was setting behind the towering building, casting long shadows on the sidewalk and reflecting orange and pink hues off its shining exterior. Call me lazy, but if given the choice…anyone would prefer my route.The building itself was a sight to behold, reminiscent of something straight out of New York Magazine. Its modern design stood in sharp contrast to the quiet area it resided in and towered over the sidewalks below, its grandeur almost intimidating. My hand instinctively came up to shield my eyes from the warm golden light as we approached.With a deep breath, I prepared myself for this new chapter in my life as we crossed through the glass double doors into the ma
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 25 : Apartment Dilemma
Two weeks. It had been almost two fucking weeks, and I had yet to see my roommate. Hell, I wasn’t necessarily complaining per se and I was well aware that Miss Lawson said they were always gone and rarely home but something about this just seemed off. Even the mailbox key that I was left to check the mail had me questioning myself because in the two weeks I had been here no mail had arrived for this person.“I don’t know, Sasha,” I groaned into my cell phone, adjusting the way that it sat on my shoulder as I attempted to finish the dishes. “I love it here, don’t get me wrong. But I just don’t see how they rent their other room out but then don’t even want to meet the person…”She laughed at me through the phone. “Oh my god. Calm down, woman.”I had spent the last thirty minutes talking to my best friend Sasha about everything and anything. In fact, I had almost forgotten why I even called her in the first place.With Thanksgiving coming up quickly and the end of the semester in
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 26 : Dark Warnings
NessaThe moment I laid out the ground rules, a flash of possessive anger crossed his eyes as they seemed to darken while his smile fell. I couldn’t breathe in this room with him, and every time he looked at me, I felt the heat of uncontrollable pleasure shoot through my core as I clenched my thighs together trying to show that he didn’t bother me.How the hell could I have been so stupid?To get an apartment like this, this far into the school year, and I wouldn’t have to pay anything. It was too good to be true, and I should have known that. Unfortunately, though I was so caught up in my own foolish happiness that I didn’t admit it until it was too late.Nash had tricked me into his home, and now I had nowhere to go.‘God, why is he so fucking gorgeous. Resist the temptation.’The thoughts I told myself were working, up until the moment he shot up from where he had been sitting and rushed across the space between us, one hand on the back of the sofa by my head and the
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 27 : Breaking Boundaries
Waking the next morning, I planned out my entire day before I even climbed out of bed. I wasn’t going to stay sheltered away in my room as if I had to hide from him. I could come and go as I liked. And nothing he said or did was going to divert me from accomplishing what I wanted.Even if he was incredibly sexy in all the wrong ways.Hair and teeth brushed, I dressed in shorts and a t-shirt, making my way out into the living room with the full intention of trying to make the best of a bad situation. I had assignments to finish and a little shopping I wouldn’t have minded doing, which of course I’d rope Noah and Becca into. The last thing I wanted was for him to think that I was utterly bothered by his presence. The apartment was quiet as I stepped slowly from my room, padding across the floor towards the kitchen. The soft lighting from the morning sun shone through the large bay windows, casting a glow around the white living room. Making it have this ethereal glow that reminded
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 28 : Party of the Year
Flashing lights, thumping music, and tons of alcohol. That was what I was confronted with when I asked Becca for her help. The mass amounts of gyrating bodies that flooded the apartment were unimaginable, and though I hated everyone being in here…I acted like I was enjoying myself. The last thing I needed was for someone to see that I was playing games, especially when I was trying to make a point towards Nash.Lingering against the far wall of the living room closest to my hallway, I guarded the only entrance to my private domain, swishing a glass of red merlot in my hand as I watched the chaos of drunken assholes party within my home as if they didn’t have a care in the world. Of course, who would have turned this party down when it was in an upscale apartment complex that Becca and Noah stated no one could get into. At least that was the case until I moved in. The thought brought a smirk to my face as I pondered over how pissed off Nash was going to be when he came home and saw
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 29 : Make me feel alive
I wasn’t sure what was going to happen the moment those words left my lips, but I should have. Because as soon as they escaped me, his lips crashed upon mine, and I stopped fighting him. I gave into the temptation he had provided so many times. The kiss deepened as his tongue begged for entry. His hands wandered over my skin as I wrapped my arms around his neck, letting him pull me as close to him as I could possibly get.I wanted him, there was no denying that. And everything that he did screamed danger but now…I didn’t care. I wasn’t sure what had changed me, maybe it was him.I just knew that I didn’t want to be scared anymore. Of my future…of Trevor.I wanted something to take away my fears and give me back the confidence I used to have.He didn’t waste time letting his hands slide down over the curves of my body. Over my round ass towards my thighs before hoisting me up and carrying me back through the house, over the fallen Solo cups and trash laying around, and straight
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 30 : Claimed and Chosen
The rest of my weekend was spent with Nash, laid up in his bed—walking around naked—he took me on every surface of the apartment and to my surprise, had the house mysteriously cleaned up when I had been sleeping Sunday afternoon. So come Monday morning, I was sore, tired, and had a smile on my face I couldn’t get rid of. Not to mention an ache in my legs and body that was both good and painful.Every moment that we spent together was constantly replaying in my head as I pulled myself from the comforts of the bed and attempted to get ready for class.Nash had insisted this morning that he drive me to school, and though I tried to argue, he wouldn’t accept it. I wasn’t sure why I had worried about what looks I was going to get from those around me, but I was. However, to my surprise, he pulled up into the school parking lot and simply dropped me off. A small kiss, and then he was driving away.My heart fluttered with a sense of overwhelming excitement, but I hid it. I tried to a
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 31 : Secrets Unveiled
What the absolute fuck!I was too shocked to speak. I knew he was something else, and it shouldn’t have been a big deal he had guns, right? I mean, loads of people collect them or go hunting or whatever. My breath picked up as my heart raced. I stepped back into the wall as I stared at the open cubby filled with various weapons trying to wrap my mind around what I had found.It was clear Nash was hiding secrets. I just had never expected that it would be something that included shit like this. Most people who collected weapons usually had them on display or in a gun vault. I remember my stepfather having a gun case in his office in our old house. Not in a secret cubby hidden in a closet behind a bunch of clothing.That was just beyond weird and sketchy.Pulling out my phone, I thought over it for a moment, wondering if texting Nash was the right thing to do. I had only just started actually getting to know him and what I did was a complete invasion of property.But I had to k
