BRYNN.Despite it being almost midnight, everyone was waiting for my arrival. My family and my friends. Mr Smith and everyone else who works for us. When I walked through the door, it felt more like a surprise celebration than a rescue from a kidnapping and the love and concern I’m shown quickly heals the isolation I’ve suffered to what I’ve learned to be the past three days."Are you okay?""That’s like the millionth time you’ve asked that question tonight. I told you I’m fine." I say, and Asher nods. "I’m sorry. I guess you can say I’m still in shock from everything and although you look okay and you’ve said the words to everyone; I still want to make sure you’re truly okay.""I’m fine, Asher. And I appreciate you coming to my rescue. Though you didn’t need to."He looks offended by my words, and he turns on his side. "What do you mean by that? Of course, I needed to." When I stay silent, he shuffles closer till there’s barely any space left between us. "I know you said we can be out
BRYNN.Felix looks surprised by the words as I caress his cheek. When he stays unmoving for several seconds, I part my lips to repeat them, but he lifts his head, taking my mouth and slipping his tongue inside the next second.I sigh into his parted lips as I press my hands on his shoulders, drunk on the way his mouth moves competently against mine. He knows how to press softly just enough to keep me wanting more. How to sink his teeth roughly into my bottom lip to have me panting and exactly when to let his tongue wrestle against mine. He kisses me with just enough desperation, and I feel his frustrations pour into the kiss.He tastes like everything I shouldn’t want but can’t help myself with."Lie down for me." He breathes when he removes his mouth from mine, and I look over his shoulder. Felix’s eyes follow and he smirks when he meets my gaze. "I locked it on my way in." He assures me and with that confirmation, I fall back on my bed with my legs hanging off the edge. I part them
FELIX.I smile as I open my eyes and lift them to the chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The light from it sparkles at me, and I sigh contentedly before turning on my side. The space next to me is empty and the imprint of her body tells me she hasn’t been up for too long.I move my hand across the space, remembering how she was right there. I spent the night at Brynn’s, and she was so close to me when I woke up around dawn. She was snuggled into my chest and I wrapped my arms around her, cuddling her through the rest of her sleep. I don’t take myself as the cuddly type of guy, but having Brynn all curled in my arms with her head against my chest, the sound of her slow breathing, the only noise that could be heard between us was the most heartwarming thing. The night—though quite little to my liking—might be the best I’ve spent in a while. After having sleeping nights worrying about her kidnapping, having her in my arms in her sleep felt like being given a chance to breathe properly a
BRYNN.My brain tells me I shouldn’t do this. That I’d only get myself hurt.The reason Felix probably stayed around me for this long is because he hasn’t fucked me yet and if I finally give him what he wants right now, he’d move on to his next girl—this one thought lingers in my mind but I don’t care.I want this.I want him. And I want him to fuck me.I want this like I’ve never wanted anything else so desperately in a while."Come here." Felix turns so I’m pressed to the wall, the water from the shower pouring down on us and it mixes with our saliva as his tongue dives into my mouth. His kisses always make my head feel fuzzy and I don’t know how he does it, but he tastes so different every time. More delicious. I especially love the way he feels more needy each time our lips come together—as if just once isn’t enough. And it’s right. It’s never enough with him.I gasp into his mouth, my hand snaking around his neck when I feel his cock slides against my wetness.Jesus. I’m never tel
BRYNN.I meet Felix’s eyes after recognizing Noah’s voice before pushing him off me. He steps back for me to drop down from the sink, his hands immediately moving to my hips to steady me and I grab the robe off the hanger.Knowing Noah, he won’t leave my room until he’s seen me for whatever he’s here for and we can’t stay here forever.I turn to Felix and press a finger to my lips, asking him to keep quiet before making for the door. I’m about to turn the knob when I’m suddenly grabbed from behind, hands squeezing my breasts through the fabric of the white robe I have on."Felix!" I seethe over my shoulder when he wraps his other hand around my waist, keeping me to him. "You have to let go. I need to—""Brynn," Noah calls from inside my room, and I curse under my breath, glaring at Felix over my shoulder before slowly opening the door, enough for my head to move through the space. I keep the rest of my body hidden behind the door with Felix, who’s still squeezing my breasts, the hand o
BRYNN.I smile when Dad gets to my side. "Good morning, dad. I thought you’d be at the office by now.""Yeah, I forgot something, so I came back for it." His eyes rove me in one sweep before he levels my gaze. "I wanted to check on you before I left earlier, but they said you were still in bed.""Yeah, I just got up not too long ago," I respond as he approaches the front door and the guard by it opens the door. I let him walk in first before following after."You’re good, right?" Dad asks, without looking at me. His steps are long and steady, and I try to match his strides. "I wouldn’t be your daughter if I’m not," I respond, and he suddenly halts. When he turns to me, his face is expressionless and I fear I said something wrong but the corner of his mouth lifts and he drops a hand on my shoulder, giving it a soft squeeze—a gesture of his affection—before he continues his steps."There you are. I checked in your room and you weren’t in." Mom descends the stairs, falling into her husba
FELIX.I finally left Brynn’s place, with her having to chase me out, of course. She was adorable with the whole sneaking around and we managed to get out without running into anyone."You’re that happy?" Lemuel comes up from behind me as I wrap the gloves around my hands and I peek at him, grinning even wider. "I am. Can you tell?" I lift my brows and he shakes his head, a small smile on his face as he takes the space next to me on the bench. "Is she okay?""She is." I nod. "She’s stronger than she looks. And hey, thanks for helping with the safe." I slap his arm and he grunts in response. "Always welcome. Maybe you can repay me by being nice to me from now on.""What do you mean? I’m always nice to you." I wink and move from the bench. I head to the punching bag and I let out a woof of air as I stand before it.I can feel Lemuel’s eyes boring into the back of my head, watching to see if I’ve finally fought off my fears. I separate my legs and position my body before throwing my fist
BRYNN.Apparently, Sasha’s father twisted the entire story for his family. Grandmother divorced grandfather, and that’s how Richard’s mother came in. She had a son when she married my grandfather and although Dad was staying with them at the time, he wanted nothing to do with the family. Once he was old enough, he went back to his mom, and he built an empire with her as he grew older. He didn’t need grandfather’s riches, but he left it for him anyway after he passed away. Richard and his mother have been at odds with him since then, and the battles have been happening repeatedly over the years. He defeats Richard, he’d leave, then come back with another strategy to get him. It was an endless circle. Until now.Dad refuses to tell me what he did with him and his family, but I know it’s something that’d never have Richard show his face before him again. Just as he deserves. And I only feel bad for the daughter who took on her father’s lie and thought she was fighting for a good cause.D
