Thank you for reading loves! Hope you enjoyed this chapter and I’d possibly do a double update tomorrow. Don’t forget to spare me some gems and let me know your thoughts:)
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
BRYNN. "Do you want me to come with you?""No. I’ll be fine. Thank you, Zade." I smile at him and when I see the worry in his eyes, I say, "I promise." He nods and I climb out of the car. I’ve never been to this part of the town before and it seems quiet compared to how I thought it’d be. I look to make sure the name on the board matches before I walk inside.It’s darker when I enter, and I don’t see a boxing ring around. Instead, there’s a bar. An almost empty one filled with men and I avoid their glances—though I can feel every single one on me—as I walk to the counter.A woman is standing behind it. She has short red hair, a nose, and lip piercings, with tattoos covering almost every inch of her exposed skin. She chews her gum as she looks me up and down. "Have you walked into the wrong place, princess?"I hate how condescending that tone is, but I swallow my irritation, knowing this isn’t a place to cause a scene. "I’m looking for the boxing arena?"She looks me down again and lau
BRYNN.The words echo around me, and I watch Felix with an open mouth. I close it to swallow and he’s still leaning against his ropes, his dark eyes not leaving me as he waits for me to move. To heed his words. I must have totally lost touch with reality or maybe it’s just how hard my pussy is throbbing from that look in his eyes, one that promises me how hard he’s going to take me—whichever it is, I remove my hand from my panties and slowly sink to the floor.I’ve never crawled before anyone. And I didn’t think Felix of all people would be the one to make me. A few weeks back, I’d have told him to fuck off. No. No, actually. I’d have hit him twice across his face until the skin turned red for even daring to utter such words to me. And not even as a request, but with his voice dripping with command. But this isn’t weeks ago. This is now. It’s the moment where every word, every glance, every kiss, and every touch from him burns my skin and makes my pussy pulse hard. No one else has ever
FELIX."You have to stop ruining my clothes." I raise my head, a smile on my face as I watch Brynn emerge from the shower, dressed in my pants and shirt. She slides the shirt over her left shoulder, leaving the first few buttons open and her barely dried hair is gathered to the right, falling over her chest."If you’ll look like this every time, then I’m considering making it a habit." I joke as she walks to me. She refused to let me go into the shower with her because she didn’t trust me to try something again and she might have been right."I’m serious." She frowns as she stops by the bench, crossing her arms over her chest, and I glance over at the skin peeking underneath. I sigh and pull her hand so she can take the space beside me. "I’m sorry." She doesn’t say a word and drops her hands to her lap.We sit in silence, and when Brynn lowers her head to run her fingers through her curls, I can’t keep my gaze away.She has an incredible side profile. Unbelievably beautiful. How can s
FELIX."Hey. Sorry. I didn’t know you are—""No worries. Nothing is happening." I cut in before he can finish and rise to my feet.It’s Ethan. One of the guys has an upcoming match and he must be here for practice.He slips his hands into his front pockets as his gaze switches between me and Brynn, staying longer on her than I like. He smiles as he comes forward. "Hello. I’ve never seen your face around here." I move to stand in front of Brynn, hiding her from that hungry gaze I want to punch off."She’s taken," I say in a breath, glaring down at him and he dares to look over my shoulder, trying to steal a peek. "Didn’t you hear me? Fuck off, dude.""Relax, mate. I was just saying hello to the beautiful lady." He chuckles and I step closer till our chests are almost brushing. "And I say she’s taken. Keep your eyes off before I help you do it.""Wow. I’m not looking for a fight here.""Then leave," I order and he sighs, stealing a glance over my shoulder one more time. I’ve had enough p
BRYNN.I can’t stop my cheeks from heating. Nor can I stop my lips from spreading.Really. I can’t stop smiling. Smiling? More like practically grinning. I want to stop, but I can’t help the sudden excitement that washes over me.I didn’t realize Felix could be like that. The nervousness at which he asked about my preferences for a date and taking me on one made my heart stutter in my chest. I’m pretty sure if I had lasted more seconds before him, it’d have been embarrassing because he’d have caught up on my reaction.Today was a good day. It’d be a lie to say I didn’t enjoy our time together, but I didn’t think he’d ask to go out again so soon—and officially, he asked.I shake my head, a chuckle slipping past my lips as I stride into the house."Miss Brynn?" I halt my steps, the smile slipping from my face as I turn to the guy who’s standing behind me. He stares at me weirdly for a few seconds and when I lift my brows, he lowers his head. "Your dad would like you in his office." That
