Hello loves! So sorry it took me this long to drop a note but here it is. I know some of you might have been disappointed by my previous abrupt disappearance but I want you to know it wasn’t intentional. I had some crisis in my personal life and I had to settle it, which took quite some time. I deeply apologize for leaving my books incomplete but I promise they’ll be completed. I’m working on getting back into the plot and in the meantime, I hope you’re enjoying this new book. Some might not know but I’m still a student so if there’s any delay that isn’t to your liking, I really apologize. Please know I’m trying my very best. Thank you so much for the love and the concern you’ve always shown. They’re appreciated. Always.
FELIX.I have my helmet pressed to my side as I stare at the house before me. It’s quiet, and the gust of the wind is the only sound I can make out where I stand.What was I thinking?Seems to be the word I use most of these days.I shouldn’t be here. Yet here I am, and I’m not turning back.My heart jumps to my throat and I quickly duck near my bike when I see a familiar figure walk out of Brynn’s gate. Asher twirls a key in his hand and a smile accompanies his relaxed look as he walks to his parked car—which I didn’t notice until now.I watch as he gets inside the car, and I can see him bop his head to whatever from the front windshield, his fingers tapping against the wheel as he reverses the car before driving away.I move out of my hiding spot once he’s gone far enough for him to not catch a glimpse of me through his rear mirror.Is this my clue to not walk into there? It should be. And I should remind myself despite how rocky things have been between us, Asher is still trying hi
FELIX."Excuse me. Who are you?" Juliet is the first to speak. Her voice is tinier than I expected."Brynn knows her." Jude chirps in before jerking the arm she’s holding onto. "I thought you said he’s a no-one. What’s he doing at your sleepover then? You invited him?" I can’t tell if she’s teasing Brynn, but said Brynn doesn’t look like she’s taken any pleasure from the sight of me. She looks completely frenzied, very different from the sweet smiling girl she was just with her friends seconds ago."He’s a no-one and the last person I’d invite here.""Looking at him longer now, he’s good-looking. If he’s a no-one, then what is he since he appears to be popping out everywhere you are? A fan? I don’t mind taking him if you want to dispose of the disturbance." Jade continues to speak, while the other two remain quiet. She stares longer at me and cocks her head. "Wait, he kind of looks familiar."Juliet pulls Jade’s hand. "That’s enough. You haven’t even given him time to speak." So I gue
FELIX.I know that some people tend to have weird kinks. I just never thought of myself as one of them. Turns out, I indeed am. I just never met the girl who made me aware of it… until now.I thought I hated the way Brynn addressed me. The sense of authority and the arrogance she carries around proudly—I thought it was one thing I disliked about her, but turns out it wasn't. It isn’t.Turns out I like the way she regards me with little to no respect. The way she isn’t scared to insult me. The way she’s never intimidated by my existence and the way she orders me around like she expects me to obey every single one.I like it all.I don’t just like it. It completely turns me on.I can’t believe it; I’ve never been turned on by anything other than the sight of boobs, ass, and the smells of women’s arousal. Yet here I am, my hands gripping the edges of the sink as I stare down at my hardened cock. My cock is so hard to the point it’s threatening to nail through my boxers, but I don’t touch
FELIX."Hey." Brynn has to repeat before I’m snapped out of my trance, and I hum as I take a step closer to her. "Hi. Yeah. You look…" I ramble on as my eyes take her in once more. When I meet her gaze, her brows are lifted as she holds her car door with one hand and I find the words stuck in my throat. "You look ready." I complete, and Brynn throws me a weird stare before nodding."Let’s go?" She starts as she gets behind her car door and just before she climbs in, an idea comes to mind and I grab onto the handle of her door before she can shut it. A challenging smile crawls into the corners of my mouth as I speak. "Race you there?""Race me there?" She repeats and glances between my bike and her car. Without her needing to say it in words, I know exactly what she means and I shake my head as I roll my helmet in hand. "It’s that new fancy restaurant down McKinley Street.""Georges?"When I nod, she slips her feet inside the car and proceeds to shut the door, without warning me before
FELIX.Suddenly feeling too bare, I sink further into my seat, as if it’ll help create further distance between us."Nothing," I state firmly. "I just didn’t feel like doing school anymore," I say with zero emotion that I’m almost believing my lie.Brynn whispers something, but I don’t hear it, and when I lift my brows, she repeats. "I said lucky.""Why? You don’t like school too?""No, I love school. I just think you’re lucky you get to stop doing stuff you’re not into." She explains as she lowers her gaze, and there’s an indecipherable sense in her words, but I don’t question it as Brynn looks back to me. "So you’re like what? Twenty-five and just doing your stuff?"I laugh at the age joke and I see her smile softly as well."You wish. I’m just twenty."She ticks her tongue. "Shame. You look much older."I embrace this side of her. Her playfulness and small jokes have me grinning harder, like a man who all is right in his world. "I didn’t take you for a liar, Addams, because you’re
FELIX.I’m so lost in what a beautiful painting Brynn looks like that I don’t notice the guy who’s standing next to her, a big smile on his face when he finally catches her attention and Brynn stops jumping, turning to him.Her back is turned to me and I can barely make out the guy’s face, but annoyance erupts beneath my skin and I take one step toward, then stop, wanting to let Brynn handle it first.No matter how much the sight currently irritates me, I stay rooted to my feet and watch.I can’t hear what they’re saying, especially over the noise of the downpour, but I can see the left corner of the guy’s mouth spread wider. What the fuck is he smiling at like that?He edges closer to Brynn, grabbing her arm and that’s when I move, telling myself I gave Brynn time to handle it.My steps are fast as I walk to her, and once I’m beside her, I twist his hold off her. I hear him grunt out in pain before I let go of his hand. "She isn’t interested." I move in front of Brynn, shielding her a
FELIX.Our lips are almost brushing to the point where I start to inhale her breath and I only need one head movement to grasp her mouth but Brynn chooses that moment to shift against the wall—thankfully—bringing me out of my trance and I lift my head, exhaling and inhaling rapidly before instantly taking more than two steps back, letting Brynn’s thumb drop from my knuckles.I can’t bear to meet her eyes in this space as I dodge my head through the corner.They lost us," I tell her. I hear Brynn move, and it’s only once she steps outside that I manage to look at her. She’s still wet, looking just as enticing as she looked in that dark corner, and I wet my lips before stepping outside with her.It’s only when I’m standing close I notice her body trembles a bit and when she rubs her hands down her arms, she gives me more than enough reason to take off my jacket and drape it over her back. She turns to me from the sudden gesture and I throw her a small smile. "Cold?""A bit." She answers.
FELIX.I stride into the cafe with my mind miles away from where my body is and I’ve barely entered fully when my name is screeched, bringing me out of my thoughts. I lift my head to see Sasha standing behind her desk with a look I can’t read, and I arch a brow as I shut the door. "Hey. Isn’t your shift ending early today?"She waves me off and beckons to me at the same time. "Come here. Have you seen this?""What’s it?" I throw the question back as I close the distance and stand before her. She raises her laptop on the counter and turns the screen to me. My eyes rove across aimlessly, not exactly sure what I’m supposed to be looking at. "What?" I repeat as my eyes drag down each row and Sasha bends over, twisting her neck around to catch a glimpse of her screen."Oh," she mutters and turns her laptop away from me. After clicking twice, she turns back and my lips part when I see the video on the screen. Even without it being played yet, I know the context.Fuck. I didn’t think one of t
