SCARLETT Izer was nuts, a maniac, completely out of control. I could call him all the names in the world and it still wouldn’t fit him. He was everything bad. He took everything by force. And he had me wrapped around him the whole night like an idiot. Every time I tried to pull away, the corners of his eyes would fade behind a dangerous veil of black. It scared the fuck out of me, so I would just go back to doing what he had demanded—‘Hold me’. I didn’t really know when I fell asleep but I was so fucking relieved to wake up to an empty bed. It was a nice change in the environment for whatever it was worth. I quickly moved to the bathroom and showered. My favorite jasmine and strawberry shampoo and body wash washed away his spicy scent but no matter how hard I tried…some of it still lingered. It taunted me while I dried my hair, and wore a black sleeveless crop top with blue full-length straight jeans. I expected Izer to be long gone, to attend to his business and I was so ready
SCARLETT“ You were not lying? ” I gaped at the underground parking lot.When he said he was going to let me go and that he was coming with me, I thought I was going to be roaming around the building, but he brought me into the parking lot, definitely hinting that we were leaving the premises. Izer stopped at some distance and turned to face me. I took in his appearance. He was wearing a casual black T-shirt with black pants and black boots. Everything complimented his eyes. And he looked the part of his character—Dark, Menacing, Dangerous. Even the dim lightning let him have his moment.“ Close your mouth, Darling. Don’t tempt me. ” Izer smirked, tugging the black sunglasses down his nose and eyeing me.My hanging jaw snapped shut as I stood there, wary of this day-out thing. It was just so easy.“ Is there something I need to know? Or need to prepare for? ” I narrowed my gaze at him.“ Touché. You think highly of me. I am an asshole but this is not an asshole moment. ” He pushed th
SCARLETT “ So who are you exactly? ” I followed Izer like a lost lamb while he marched forward lazily. “ We are not talking about it today. ” He shrugged his shoulders. “ Izer. ” I whined, catching up to him. Abruptly, he halted. My face hit the steel wall, making me wince and stumble back. “ Look where you are going, Darling. ” A chuckle made its way up my ears. I shivered, taking another step back. “ You can not change the topic. ” My gaze rose to his shades. His sunglasses were annoying as fuck. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking if I was not looking straight into his eyes. Not that I could tell what he was thinking without his shades on either, but at least, I could see the emotions—a fraction of what he displayed. “ I am not changing the topic. ” Izer purred, and grabbed my hand before pulling me to his body. “ we are out shopping. Don’t ruin the mood. ” “ My mood died the day I met you. ” I mumbled, scrunching my nose. “ We can work on reviving it. ” He whispered and
SCARLETT“ Shit! ” I groaned. I should have checked the size before trying it on. I bet that woman took her revenge by delivering clothes too small to fit me.I tried to pull it back up to get rid of the suffocating material but it didn’t budge. I applied some force and heard a sharp noise.I froze and eyed the edge. It was not ripped yet but it was barely hanging by the thread. Slowly, I tried again but it didn’t help at all.The dress would rip if I bent my shoulders and tried to take it off forcefully.Why was this happening to me? “ I don’t want to call that bitch. ” I hissed, trying again.She was going to embarrass me some more. “ Come on, stubborn dress. Get off me already. ” It remained stuck. Five minutes passed, and my face started to heat up. It was becoming suffocating and annoying. I was going to panic and throw up. Even my heart was pounding while thinking about the possibility of that bitch strolling inside and finding me stuck in a dress so she could laugh her ass
IZER“ I don’t understand where she went. I really wanted her to see me buying this stupid dress. ” Darling groaned in her passenger seat.I smirked and peeked a glance at her from the corner of my eyes. When her little adventure in the dressing room ended with me staring at every fucking perfect curve of her body, she decided she only wanted to buy one short white dress that reached her mid-thighs and highlighted her damn perfect tits and ass. I would have ripped it like the red because it was too revealing but the idea of her wearing that dress for me alone didn’t let me go through with it. After that, she was eager to find that one specific bitch—her words, not mine.She was almost annoyed after not finding her. And now I felt bad for making that bitch disappear before my Darling had fun with her. It was all her fault. The bitch knew me as the rest of the city did, yet she still dared to run her mouth and it ended up in her getting homeless, jobless, penniless in less than a few i
SCARLETT “ And I am telling you that you need to try those cookies. I will get them for you if you want. ” Sophia chimed excitedly. I was regarding her with a bored look on my face. She had been talking for the past hour. Nonstop. I wondered if she ever got tired or if she had an unlimited amount of energy—energy that I lacked these days because everything was just so…dull. Izer had been busy for the last week and he only came home when he needed to sleep. Even then, he would simply take a bath, crawl into the bed behind me and tug me into his body. That’s that. No teasing. No talking. No heated looks. His touch still turned me on. And I couldn’t help but give in to him every night. He would always pull me so close that I found his hard muscles digging into my back, and sometimes front. He was gentle before, but now, his hold was beginning to hurt throughout the night. I didn’t think he noticed that he was usually crushing me. Amidst all this, it was not hard to notice that he w
SCARLETTMy jaw hung low in awe as I stared at the statue of a couple, their bodies covered in red, white, and black roses. There were many other static things like this around, all covered in flowers to give the impression that everything was made with them. All kinds. Roses, jasmines, tulips.Especially tulips. The purple flower had a separate garden devoted to it. The never-ending row of tulips was pleasing to the eyes. The bright lights that covered the empty path beside the rows of flowers was enhancing the beauty of the place.I sucked in a huge breath, closing my eyes. This was paradise. I could happily piss off Izer for this freedom.“ Do you like it? ” Aaron whispered close to my ear.My eyes shot open. I stepped to my right, unconsciously putting some distance between us. A small smile lit his lips when he noticed that move.“ I love it here. ” I nodded, trying to get rid of the awkwardness.I didn’t know this man for fuck’s sake. Despite wanting to get on Izer’s nerves, I k
SCARLETTFear pulsed underneath my skin. I stared at Izer, unable to understand why I had kissed Aaron.“ Come. Out. ” Izer whispered, the dark veil consuming his irises.Without waiting for another beat of my heart, I jumped out of Aaron’s lap and stumbled out of the door. My wobbly legs failed to keep me up. I almost dropped to my knees but Izer’s arm caught me in mid-air.“ I—Izer…I—I can explain. ” I stuttered.My heart was beating in my throat. Inhaling Izer’s scent and having his hand enclosed around my waist was making the whole scenario more real. The sparks that exploded behind my eyes had me trembling in his hold—the desire was still there. I was fucking turned on as if my life depended on getting a dick.“ Oh. You said he was just a friend, Sky. Why explain things to a friend? ” Aaron stepped out behind me.I gulped, my eyes widening. Izer was still glaring at Aaron and the aura he exuded was one meant to wreak havoc.It was only a matter of a single moment before the contr
