Owen happened to look in Eric’s direction, and he saw that the other man was seething. His face had turned red, and the veins in his neck were bulging out. He was clenching and unclenching his fists, and he was glaring daggers in Nathan’s direction. Owen turned to Nathan and was not surprised to see his trademark self-satisfied smirk. Oh, fuck - thought Owen - If I don’t do something quickly, we’re going to have World War Three here!
Owen clapped his hands together five times to get everyone’s attention, and once he had it, he said, “We are all excited about having Arnold back with us, but you must all be as hungry as I am, so let’s settle down and get the waiter in here so that we can order!”.
“An excellent idea!” Alex said. He sat down first, and everyone else sat around him, assuming the seats
Crystal was caught off guard as Eric’s sculptured lips pressed down on her. She was able to turn away at the last minute, though, and his kiss landed on her cheek. Luckily, Eric was not annoyed by her cheeky maneuver.Crystal’s faint fragrance was like a sweet orange blossom. It penetrated his nose and moistened his lungs. He winked at her. Then he lowered his face into her neck, and before she knew what was happening, he was sucking on her sensitive skin.“Stop it!” Crystal shouted. She pushed him away with all of her strength. Then she reached out to slap him across the face. The sound was jarring, and it left a ringing in his ears.Eric could have dodged it, but he didn’t. He was willing to take anything she wanted to give him, even if it left a coppery-blood taste in his mouth. Beca
Nathan lifted Crystal and forced her to sit on the counter. Then he turned on the tap, wet his handkerchief, and used it to rub her lips. He acted roughly, without any tenderness, as if he wanted to wipe the skin off her lips. Eventually, Crystal’s lips began to burn, and there was a fishy-sweet taste in her mouth. What’s going on? - she wondered. She tried to push him away and asked him what he was doing, but he refused to let her go or answer any of her questions. Instead, he roared and slammed his handkerchief down on the counter.Nathan condescendingly pinched Crystal’s jaw, and he began to kiss her all over her face.These kisses were different from his previous ones. Then, they were overbearing, crude, and aggressive. She felt as if he was trying to absorb her life force, and when he started gnawing at her lower lip, she assumed that he
Nathan pulled his hand out of Crystal’s skirt and hoisted himself up on his elbows to hover over her. He had an angry frown on his face. “Why are you so desperate to get away from me?” he asked. “Is it because of Eric, or does it have something to do with the necklace?”Crystal wanted to tell him that he was paranoid, but he blocked her words with a violent kiss when she opened her mouth. The kiss was so vicious that she couldn’t bear it. She started to struggle again, and before she knew it, he had laid back on top of her again so that she couldn’t move.Crystal could feel Nathan’s becoming more intense as he bent his head to nibble on her earlobes. Then, suddenly, he raised his head, looked her in the eye, and said, “You’re mine; everything you do and all that you are belongs to me.”
Nathan tucked Crystal into bed, and when he climbed in beside her, she didn’t think she had to worry about him forcing her. She assumed that when she was menstruating, he wouldn’t be interested in having sex with her. She lay on her back, and he laid on his side beside her so that he could look at her and rub her distended belly. His touch felt nice, and it alleviated some of the pain from her cramps. Before long, though, his hand began to wander up towards her breasts.What the fuck? - thought Crystal - This man is relentless! She rolled over to her side and brought her arms to her chest to protect herself from his advances. She could hear his huffing behind her. He was obviously displeased, and after a few minutes, he said, “Are you sure that you want to sleep on your side? Aren’t you afraid of side leakage?”“You seem to k
Eric sighed and said, “You may as well get back on the bike. This conversation isn’t going anywhere, so I may as well take you to school.”***When Serenity saw Crystal pull up in front of the school on the back of a motorbike, she rushed out to see if anything was wrong. Once she got to the curb, she said, “Crystal, I was so worried about you last night. I called you so many times, but you didn’t answer. I was scared to death.” Then she saw Eric and was immediately distracted by his good looks. “Is that Eric?” she asked.“This is Eric,” Crystal replied. “I’m sorry I didn’t return your tests. I got my period, so I went to bed early.”Serenity: “What on ea
Tiffany had lost her sincere smile, but she quickly replaced it with a false one. She turned to Serenity and said, “I’m going to change my shift right away, so why don’t you and Crystal join me for a bite to eat?” Then, she turned back to Crystal and said, “There are some things that I want to talk to you about anyway.”Crystal wanted to say no because she didn’t want to share a meal with Tiffany, but she wanted to hear what the woman had to say. So, after signing up, Crystal and Serenity followed Tiffany out of the school. As they were leaving, Serenity remembered that she had to stay at school and meet up with one of her teachers, so the other two walked to a nearby restaurant without her.As they walked, Tiffany said, “The selection process for the Host position is very competitive. I have several related books
Crystal stood up, nodded to her father, and said, “Alright then, I should get going.”“Wait!” Todd exclaimed, practically shouting. “I have something to tell you...”Crystal sighed impatiently and said, “Go ahead.”Todd: “Crystal, after your mother committed suicide, I went to see her psychologist.”Crystal froze. “You did?”“I did,” Todd replied. “And he said that guilt was the cause of her depression. She was cheating on her investments.”Crystal: “Wait a minute. Are you saying that she got depressed because she was cheating on her investments?”
It wasn’t long before a man passed by her. He was a burly man, and he was wearing a black suit. When he realized that he had lost Crystal, he stopped and looked around.Crystal peeked around the tree to try to identify the man stalking her and immediately recognized him as one of Nathan’s bodyguards. She didn’t like it when Nathan treated her like a child, and she decided to get rid of this stalker.The stalker slipped into the bakery to see if Crystal had gone in there, and the minute he was out of sight, she made a mad dash to the bookstore.The bookstore had a total of three floors, and each floor stored books for different ages. For example, economics and professional books were on the first floor. Crystal checked some information on the internet by herself and selected several popular books ba
