Nerthus
As my heart seems to stand still, my thoughts run wild. The panic of me embarrassing Arawn in such an event wafts through me like a tsunami as the thought didn’t even pass my mind.
And then it hits me.
The mayor’s office!
How could I even retort to someone who works on the mayor’s staff?
“Gemma?” Just as I’m about to utter some stupid excuse, Arawn’s amused question reaches me.
Looking up at him mortified, I pray that my voice would not sound too shaky.
Just what the hell has become of me?!
“Don’t you like it?”
He hums, tapping his finger on his lips. “I guess I would like that one less than Rachel but certainly better than Aria.”
Gasping over-dramatically, it feels like a huge stone is being lift from my chest. “What do you have against Aria?”
He shrugs as

NerthusWe stay quietly watching Harvey and Jensen, as the creep is called, bicker about nonsense. Emily is laughing cutely while I try not to collapse under the burning gaze of Arawn.It feels like hours have passed as the elevator finally arrives. Emily takes advantage of the new established proximity and leans onto me.“Amber, right?” She says with a big smile, and I nod.“It’s so nice to have an actual girl with me here.” Leaning in, she shields her mouth with her hand, “You know, rather than just the hostess.”Oh, babes, if you knew. Her eyes sparkle amazed as she looks at me cutely. “Yeah! I’m looking forward to seeing this round.”“Oh, you won’t be disappointed.” She says in a boasting tone, and giggles. “I hope you like cocktails.”“Actually, I love them.” I smile at her, clenching my clutch and she squeals lightly. “Perfect, then.”Clearing my throat, I try not to blend out her listing her favorite ones as I do my best to withstand Arawn’s angry gaze.What did I ever do to y

Arawn “I’m out.” Bernard grunts, throwing his cards onto the table.And I grin before taking in all the chips lying on the table. “Bad luck, Bernie.”“So, we are all going to just ignore the elephant in the room?” Jensen snorts, but I don’t react to it. Throwing my cards his way.“Just deal another hand, Jensen. Stop bitching around.”Collecting the cards with a scoff, he starts riffling them reluctantly.“What elephant?” Bernard asks, his cigar between his teeth.“He is probably talking about the girl, Bernie.” Harvey says with a slight gr

Nerthus “What’s wrong?” I ask as soon as he sets his eyes on me.He puts his hands in his pockets, looking at me as if I was a stupid cockroach he is about to crush.“Arawn, what’s wrong?”“Why should there be anything wrong?”And we are back with questions instead of answers. “Your eyes,” I gulp, sliding forward to sit on the edge of the couch. “It’s been a bit since you looked at me like that.”“Look at you how?” He asks me, his angered gaze looking right through me.“With disgust,” I whisper. He doesn’t react to it, and just stays silent, watching me intently.Forcing a smile, I set down my drink and get up to my feet. “Did you lose?”He scoffs, looking to his side before looking back at me. “Why would that matter?”“It doesn’t.” I answer, shrugging.“You can’t take any other clients.” His growl causes my skin to cover in goosebumps, and I keep myself from caressing my arm.“I know.” I say, tilting my head at him.He steps closer to me, his hands still in his pockets. “And no dat

Nerthus As I open the door to the staircases and run down the stairs, a hulk of a man stands in my way, forcing me to step back and close the door.What a cheat! Turning around, I see Arawn smirking at me, and I press myself against the cold material of the door, as he steps closer. He wraps a strand of my hair around his finger as he chuckles, “You are not very good at it, right?”“Not really.”I gulp as he lowers his voice, his husky whisper rumbling through me. “What a shame.”Even before I can escape him, he grabs me, pulling me back to his front. I shout from the top of my lungs to have him put me down but even with all the trashing, he carries me down the hallway with apparently no effort.“Parker! No! Let me go!”He just chuckles as he unlocks a door at the other end of the hallway, pushing me into a suit. As I lose my balance and fall on the floor, Arawn has nothing better to do than to get on me with an annoying smirk.He pins me down effortlessly, causing me to stop trashi

Nerthus I can’t wrap my head around how many times he fucked me after saying that he loved his name since I had started to call him that.My body isn’t responding to me anymore, and I feel exhausted, my pussy clenching his cock tighter every time.But the thing that pains me the most is that he hasn’t talked since he said that to me.And I haven’t gotten any compliments.He is not even looking at me, and his gaze went straight through me when he did.He mostly takes me from behind, as if my gaze would burn his skin in some way.“Arawn,” I whisper, getting him finally to look at me. “Usually, men tend to come rather fast, and I was always glad about it. But with you it is different. I enjoy your stamina so damn much. I don’t seem to get enough, and every time I feel you are about to come, I beg for just another bit…”Taking a deep breath, I chuckle, “Even if I’m exhausted.”I gulp, and he frowns at me. “Why are you telling me that?”“I just wanted to get it off my chest.” I shake my h

Arawn Jensen: You have to be fucking kidding me!Jensen: I heard her calling you Parker, Parker!Jensen: How much of your brain have you fucked out for her already?Jensen: We can’t endanger our territory like this.Jensen: Kick her out! I’ll get you a new one.He is not wrong. I’m fucked up. But he should stop. Or I’ll definitely kill him. I knew that not kicking her out of my penthouse the night I found her in it would be problematic.But I couldn’t let her leave. Something in me was telling me that I had to have her, for my ego. Just for the night would surely be enough.I tried to convince myself that it was just some kind of stupid infatuation that I had because of my young age back then. Kind of a teenage crush if you want.But I knew what it really was. I couldn’t lose her again.

Nerthus I gulp down the last bit of pride in my body as I walk towards the reception in my torn dress.“Good morning, ma’am.”“Good morning,” I answer, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear that must have fallen out of my ponytail. “Can I ask you to get me a taxi?” She nods, smiling politely. “Sure.”“With a female driver, if possible.” I lay my hand on the cold granite of the counter, and she nods again, this time with her eyes full of pity.What a time to be alive. “Of course, ma’am.”“Thank you so much.”As the taxi arrives it is indeed a female driver, and I get in with a smile, reciting my address.We spend the ride in silence, but I sense her looking at me through the rearview mirror from time to time. She parks in front of my block, but I freeze as I’m about to get out.“Could I ask you for a big favor?”“Of course, my dear.”I smile, leaning my hand onto the leather seat. “Would you get into my building to see if there is anybody around… That could see me like this?”With

Nerthus Leaning against the cold wall of the elevator, I ponder over whether I should have a talk with him. This isn’t possible, and not a thing that I want to keep up with. Even if I don’t think that he would let go of me that easily, I will be damned if he gets my pride without a fight.After getting another good night from the night guard on the ground floor that can’t make up for the one I didn’t get from Arawn, I exit onto the busy street and hail another cab.I get into the cab with a deep sigh and even if I want to get home desperately, I give him the address of the club.Amber: I’m not going to do this anymore. You can’t treat me this way!By the time his answer reaches me, I’m already walking into the club, having my phone vibrating in my hand.Mr. Best-Fuck: As if anybody cares about what you want.Biting my lip, I stare at the text with a void gaze.
