Destroy Me: RAZE Chapter 39
KeiraEthan sprawled across my bed, reading a romance book he’d fished out of my little bookshelf. He has been lazily scrolling through the pages for the better half of the hour arguing with me about how elves shouldn’t be little and meek, but buff and strong like Legolas in The Lord of the Rings.But my mind is not stable enough to discuss science fiction with him. It’s still busy processing a message I received twelve hours prior.“Hey are you okay?” he asks abruptly cutting off my train of thought.Okay, how do I tell him, ‘No, I’m not okay, It’s been twelve hours and I’m still reeling over the that you called me baby over text?’“Baby?”“No!” I scream unintentionally, jumping from where I’m seated at the foot of the bed. “You can’t just do that! It’s not good for my heart.”Ethan suddenly looks concerned. He lowers the book onto the bed and gives me his full attention. “What are you talking about?”Biting my lip, I dread having to vocalize my dilemma to him. Why is this happening?
Destroy Me: RAZE Chapter 40
KeiraComeback season is the busiest time for the staff of the company, but there are certainly perks to it, especially for us on the music production team.With RAZE’s album’s release, it means our jobs are done! And if I may identify one good thing about being on the production team, it’s the weeklong break that we’re given after the release.“God, you guys are so lucky. When will us managers catch a break?” Alina whines into her sandwich as I pack my bag, getting ready to go home at two in the afternoon.“You’ll catch one soon, I’m sure,” I try to reassure her. “Aren’t the boys going to Europe soon? If you’re not on the team to go with them, then you’d have roughly a month of a stress-free job. That’s practically a vacation, Alina.”We both giggle at the notion. “As much as I enjoy being your alibi, Alina, I have to go.” Alina pouts all the way to the door.“I’ll text you later, I promise!” I assure her, pushing past her to exit the room. “I know following the boys all over for the

Keira“I did mean it when I said you should use this time to take a break,” I tell Ethan as he unloads my overnight bag out of his car, giggling. “Not with you driving us to God-knows-where on a Friday afternoon.”Ethan laughs as he closes the trunk. “Spending time with you is the only kind of rest I need.”I shake my head to distract myself from the cheesiness because I will admit that made me blush and smile more than it had to. So, I take in the beautiful rest house Ethan drove us to.With a modern minimalist motif, I’ve never seen a lovelier house.“Go on inside, I won’t be long.”And the inside is much more beautiful. I can’t believe I get to stay here even for just a day. I explore each floor thoroughly. The first thing that caught my eye is the beautiful view of the beach from the second floor. With the sun almost gone, the waters are tinted orange and red as the sun retreats on the horizon.“It’s beautiful, is it not?” I don’t need to turn my head to know it was Ethan who spok

KeiraDinner with Ethan in a fancy restaurant is everything I’d ever imagined. At first, I was intimidated, terrified, even of being in such a place but Ethan’s warm touch at the small of my back eased all of my concerns. His touch seems to say, ‘I’m here.’And that at any moment that I feel uncomfortable, I’m sure Ethan would be more than happy to take me away.We were ushered through a private entrance, and then to a private room where the ambiance was romantic, to say the least.“I hope everything is to your liking?” Ethan asks as he sips his red wine.“I did! Thank you, Ethan,” I say as I dap a napkin on the corner of my mouth to make sure none of the delicious pasta sauce was clinging on. “When did you even have time to prepare all of this? I mean the reservations? The dress and shoes?” I let out an impressed huff as I shake my head in disbelief. I never thought that Ethan would be capable of something like this.I’ve seen interviews and paparazzi photos of him and previous fling

KeiraEthan doesn’t waste any time, after the words left my lips, he’s onto me like a man starved. His lips ravish mine in passionate caresses and I take everything he’s willing to give. Ethan’s tongue juts out, licking my lower lip, asking for access that I grant immediately.Our tongues meet and suddenly the kisses turn fevered and urgent. My hands are everywhere on his body, touching whatever I can reach as Ethan leads us to the bed.Before I knew it, Ethan’s toying with the string that holds my dress together, one tug and the whole top half droops bunching at my waist.“Fuck, Keira.” Ethan inhales sharply when his hands cup my breasts and he’s met with bare skin. “Did you go out commando too?” he murmurs in between languid strokes of his tongue.Snickering, I bite my lip as I pull away from him, just enough to murmur, “I wasn’t’ that brave. Wanna see?”Ethan nods slowly and I had to rip my eyes away from his hooded ones. I make a show of turning around before slowly caressing my h

KeiraDid that really just happen?I would think to myself that I dreamed all of it, but when I woke up feeling a delicious soreness between my legs, and Ethan’s angelic slumbering face right next to mine I decided that I didn’t dream it. It did happen.Careful not to wake him, I slowly tiptoe to the bathroom to brush my teeth. If I recall correctly, there’s a pool right outside and I fancy a swim. When I leave the bathroom feeling refreshed, Ethan was still fast asleep. He must be tired from his multiple schedules, he did mention having to overwork himself to earn this vacation. Letting him sleep it off is no big deal.Padding through the kitchen, that’s when I notice yet another paper bag on the counter. It’s from the same brand as where Ethan bought the dress and I was curious to know what else he got.My eyes grow wide as big as my smile when I see Ethan got me swimsuits as well. There are two in different styles and colors. One is a one-piece beige with the midriff cutout, and th

KeiraAs soon as we were dressed— Ethan in a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, and me in shorts and one of Ethan’s shirts— we don’t waste time making breakfast. Based on last night’s and this morning’s activities, I could confidently say we’re both super hungry.With the pantry fully stocked, we went a little crazy in preparing all sorts of food. While Ethan was making blueberry pancakes, I decided I wanted something more filling. I fry up some bacon and sausages, along with eggs to go with our pancakes.“Do you like your eggs scrambled?” I ask Ethan without looking up from the pan. But when he doesn’t answer, I lift my eyes only to see him staring back at me with a goofy smile on his face.“Uh… do I have something on my face?” I ask, with a nervous chuckle before bringing my attention back to the frying sausages.Still smiling, Ethan shakes his head and goes back to his concoction of pancake mix. “Nothing,” he says. “I think I just had a glimpse of the future.”Any other time I would t

KeiraThe world seems to crumble at my feet as I reread the words over and over, trying to make sense of them.‘Good day! This is Tanya from HR.We regret to inform you that your contract with RAZE company has been terminated. Your final payment will be wired to your registered bank with us. Thank you for sharing your talents with us, and good luck in your future endeavors.’That’s it, then? I’m fired? They basically said, ‘Here’s your final pay.
