CHAPTER 19
"You gotta be fucking kidding me," Scott remarked as I dropped my eyes downward. I was completely and totally ashamed of what had occurred and what Preston was now witnessing. "What happened?" Preston asked in his British accent. His voice sounded restrained with anger. "She was clumsy as usual and hit her head," Scott drew out as he pressed the napkin harder against my head. I winced at the pressure. "Is that what happened?" Preston asked gently.
I lifted my eyes back up and my heart fluttered as he was crouched down, inches away from me. His concerned green eyes bore into my inner soul and I struggled harder than I ever have with the lie. "What the hell, man," Scott said angrily beside me. "You don't believe me?" "Yeah," I whispered out. "That's what happened. I tripped."I could see the disappointment in Preston's eyes and it tore at my heart. "Let's take a look," he instructed as he slowly raised his hand toward my face. He pushed Scott's hand away as he reached into a bagRelated chapters

Scott didn’t come home that night. I slept alone in the apartment. I hid Preston’s suit jacket in the back of my closet. I wanted to sleep in it, wrapped in his scent, but I didn’t want to risk Scott coming home and asking questions about it.Preston came into Kiki’s while I was working the next day. I didn’t wait on his table and tried my best to avoid him. I did sneak some looks at him, and he caught me once. I quickly turned away and acted busy.Scott didn’t come home until Wednesday. He was there when I came home from work. He was sitting on the futon when I walked in.I slowly closed the door behind me as I looked at him. “Hi.”He quickly stood up and walked over to me. I watched in stunned horror as he dropped to his knees infront of me. He grabbed my hands, kissing them as he broke down in tears.“I’m so sorry Kendra,” he wept as he laid his head in my hands. “I’m so sorry I hurt you again. I’m a fuckup and I know that. I don’t know why you stay here with m

I spent the rest of the week dwelling upon what I had agreed to. I sat in my apartment with guilt weighing heavily on my shoulders. I loved Scott. I wanted to be with Scott. He was doing so much better. Why was I willing to risk screwing that up for Preston? He should just be a client, yet somehow he was something more to me, and that scared me.I told Scott I was going to Tricia's on Friday for a girl’s night. He accepted the lie and it broke my heart the trust he had in me. I gave him a kiss as he left for work before going and changing into a black miniskirt and a lace camisole. I grabbed Preston’s suit jacket and slipped into it. This encounter would be my opportunity to return it. I left my hair down but put loose waves into it and applied my make-up. I slipped into black heels and hurried out the door to catch the bus.My legs bounced nervously the entire ride to the fight. Once off the bus, I had a few minutes to walk. As I approached the building, I noticed a man stand

Preston drove us back to his condo. He opened the door for me and I walked in, admiring once again the beauty of the place. He came up behind me, wrapping his arms around me and kissing my neck.I smiled, my body electric with his touches. I turned around to face him and he immediately slid my jacket off. His hands came up to my face, cupping my cheeks as his mouth pressed onto mine. His lips attacked mine, his tongue quickly prodding at my lips. I grabbed his shirt, pulling it over his head and tossing it aside. He quickly did the same to my camisole and made quick work of my bra.He bent down, picking me up as I straddled him. He carried me over to the couch and gently placed me down upon it. He laid down atop me as we made out. He pulled away, moving down my body to pull my skirt and thong off. He lowered his mouth to my most sensitive area and I gasped. My hands went into his hair as he tasted me. Never had a man done this while paying me for sex. It wasn't about me, it wa

“Kendra. Kendra.”I slowly opened my eyes and stared into Preston’s green ones. I quickly sat up and cringed as my abdomen cried out in pain. My hand shot over it as Preston looked at me in confusion. “You alright?” “Yeah,” I breathed out as I quickly dropped my hand to my side. “Stomach cramp. Sorry. Did I fall asleep?” He grinned broadly at me. “You’ve been snoring for the past couple of hours.” I groaned as I raised my hand to my forehead. “I’m so sorry. You can take off some money from what you owe me for today since…” He chuckled as he took my hand into his. “I’m not going to do that. I enjoyed the snoring. It went in tune with the music.” I burst into laughter as I covered my face with my hands. “I don’t snore!”His laughter mixed with mine as he gently pulled my hands away from my face. “You do, and it was adorable.”I rolled my eyes as he turned and exited the car. He came around and opened my door and I stepped out beside him. I glanced around and realized we were

We ate our lunch and packed up before heading back out onto the trail. Preston held my hand, making sure to always be a gentleman and help me over an uneven area or fallen logs. Being secluded in nature alone with him felt intimate, in a way more intimate than the things we had already done.His hand felt natural and so very right wrapped around mine. He never once lost his temper with mewhen I was obviously slowing him down or when I clumsily tripped. He had patience for days with me.And his smile. That gorgeous smile that overwhelmed his face and pierced dimples into his cheeks wasnearly always on display. He would run his hand through his hair constantly and the urge to run myfingers through it grew with each passing minute.“How do you keep your hair so perfect?” I asked absentmindedly.He glanced at me and grinned. “You like it?”I laughed lightly as I looked up at the tall branches of the trees all around us. They stood green and vividagainst the bl

“Married,” Jessica remarked as she eyed the man sitting at one of her tables at Kiki’s. He winked at her as we glanced at him. “All the married ones hit on me.”I turned toward her suspiciously. “How do you know he’s married?”She turned her back to the man and leaned against the counter. She raised her left hand and pointed to her ring finger. “He’s got a tan line from his missing ring.”My jaw dropped as I glanced back at him. “That’s disgusting.”She shrugged. “At least I’ll get a good tip if I flirt back. It doesn’t have to go anywhere.”“Kendra!” Becca, another waitress, called my name.I turned toward her to find her carrying a beautiful arrangement of a dozen roses.“You have a delivery,” she said as she handed me the flowers.“Aw,” Jessica drew out with big eyes. “Scott is such a sweetheart.”“He’s definitely a keeper,” Becca remarked.Jessica sighed. “I need a Scott.”“Don’t we all,” Becca called out as she headed off to grab some plates of food
Love Me Or Die Young CHAPTER 26
The music in the nightclub pounded loudly, the bass taking control of my heartbeat and forcing it in rhythm with the music. The place was packed with scantily dressed woman and roving men ready to take them home. A DJ sat at the front of the dancefloor, pounding the music out of the speakers. The dancefloor was an ocean of people all moving to the beat of the music.I sat with Scott in a reserved VIP section of the club as I watched the action below. He had his arm around my shoulders as he relaxed beside me. Dominic sat across from us with his blonde date whose large breasts were spilling out of her dress. They unfortunately seemed to have caught Scott’s attention and I caught his eyes wandering to them several times already. “Do you want a drink?” Scott asked as he sat forward and spoke into my ear over the music.I shook my head as I turned toward him. “No, thank you.”He nodded as he waved for the waitress for our area. It didn’t seem to matter that neither Scott nor I

“It’s rape, Kendra,” Tricia stated as she stared wide-eyed at me. I had fled Blue Hades as soon as Scott had left and went straight to her place. She had quickly swept me inside as I showed up sobbing at her doorstep.My hands shook slightly as they held the hot chocolate she had offered me. I sat on her couch, my tears now dry. Why had I run away? What would Dominic and Scott say?“Kendra,” Tricia called in her Southern accent. “You need to report this to the police. You can’t let himget away with it.”I shook my head as I quickly stood up and set the cup down. “I shouldn’t have come here. I shouldn’thave told you. I’m sorry. I just…”“Kendra.” She quickly leapt to her feet and wrapped me in a surprising hug. “Sweetie, you can’t let himdo this anymore. I have turned my head to several of his outbursts and one too many bruises, but this isa new low. Even for him. You don’t have to allow him to get away with this.”“He’s my boyfriend,” I challenged her. “We
