Lord Frederick's POV Getting to my room, I slammed my door and kicked a stool out of my way. Pain and anger were bubbling inside me, and it seemed like they were going to explode out of me. Grunting, I walked over to the minibar in my room, took out a bottle of dry gin, opened it, and gulped a large quantity into my mouth. The harshness of the whiskey burned my throat, causing a big frown to spread across my face. With heavy feet, I sat on the couch, took another large gulp of the whiskey, and furiously threw the bottle as it landed on the floor, crashing. “Damn it!” I grunted in anger. Regrets consumed me as what we did came crashing down on me. I had sex with Aurora, the most abominable thing on earth to do. Guilt washed over me, and I got up as I began pacing around. What happened with Aurora replayed in my head, and images of her hot body flashed back in my head. Her white, spotless skin, the softness of her skin, the curves of her body—everything flooded my mind. I thou
Aurora’s POV Hearing those words from him made my heart clench in my chest. It was painful to know that our first time together was a mistake for him. “Aurora, I'm sorry.” He apologized, and my heart ached. “What are you apologizing for?” I said, tears clouding in my eyes. He grunted, stood to his feet, and turned his back to me. “We'll have to pretend that this never happened; this was a mistake, and it should be put behind us.” He spoke so casually like it was the easiest thing we could do. “I can’t…” I whispered, “I can’t see this as a mistake.” I spoke stubbornly and heard him grunt; my words must have angered him. Swiftly, he turned around and looked at me, his green eyes void of emotion. “So, tell me what now?” He asked with clenched jaws. “Are you suggesting we become lovers? Or we become sex mates, or do you suggest I take you to your father and tell him, Hey, listen, man, I just fucked your daughter, and we both liked it, so I will want to let you know that we are now lo
Aurora's POV After hearing all I had to say, Sophie remained silent over the phone as if she were trying to gather her thoughts. But after a long minute of silence, she spoke. “Can you come over?” she asked, and I nodded. I needed to leave my room; it was beginning to suffocate me. The smell of our sex lingered in the air, making me more uncomfortable. “Yes, I can come over.” “Alright, I will be waiting for you.” “Alright,” I said and ended the call. Getting up, I went over to my wardrobe, took out a simple fitted gown, put it on, and dried my hair, packing it in a bun. After checking myself in the mirror, I picked up my things and left the room. Between my thighs felt a little sore, but I was grateful that I could walk properly. Reaching the sitting room, I met a maid who approached me. “Good morning, do you want breakfast?” “No, thank you.” I flashed a weak smile and walked out of the sitting room. Getting to my car, I hopped in, started up the engine, and drove out of the ma
Aurora POV Sophie gave me a fitted, revealing, sexy black gown to put on. The gown stopped at my thighs, and then she gave me heels to match. After that, we did our makeup, and I decided to pull my hair into a ponytail while Sophie let her hair fall freely on her shoulders. Getting into my car, Sophie decided she should drive since I wasn’t in the right frame of mind. “Are you okay?” she asked as she turned on the car engine. “Yes,” I assured her, and saw her nod before she started the car. As the drive went on, I rested my head on the window while I hummed to the song playing from the music player. I was curious, eager, and nervous to be in a BDSM club, but just as Sophie had said, it was an adventure. My thoughts drifted to Lord Frederick, and I wondered what he must be doing. It had been hours since I left home, and he hadn’t called to check up on me, nor had any of his men, which was unlike him. It was as if he had totally forgotten about my existence, and the thought of that
Aurora's POV As I made my way out of the room, I noticed I couldn’t breathe; it felt like my breath was being hitched in my chest. Getting to the bar, I sat on the long stool and ordered a bottle of beer. The moment it was given to me, I took a long gulp before settling it down. Pain and torture consumed me as I recalled all that I saw in the room. I couldn’t believe that what we had last night really meant nothing to him. How could he be with another woman and act like nothing happened between us? Did our time together mean nothing to him? Tears clouded my eyes, but I held them back, finished the bottle of beer, and requested another one. “Can I join you?” A male voice spoke from behind before he moved over and sat on the stool beside me. Glancing his way, I noticed he wasn’t masked, which gave me the opportunity to see his face. He had striking blue eyes that seemed to see right through me. His presence was both comforting and unsettling, a strange mix that made me wary yet curi
Lord Frederick’s POV “Let go of me," she spat, but I ignored her and reached for her face. Swiftly, I took the mask off her face, and our eyes locked. Anger and pain washed over me as what I saw in the club came rushing back into my head. The jealousy and pain I felt when I saw her with a man, the anger that consumed me when I saw his hands on her; I almost went insane, and it's only my ability for self-control that prevented me from exploding. “Let go of me!” Aurora demanded, but I didn't; instead, I tightened my grip on her. “What were you doing there?” I asked, with jealousy evident in my tone, and heard her scoff. “The same thing you were doing there,” she responded, and I swallowed hard. “I was in the playroom…” “With whom? Who took you there? Was it him?” I asked, referring to the man I saw her with. She shot me a challenging look. “And how is that any of your business?” she sneered. “Let's talk about how I saw a masked lady sucking you off!” She snorted and I swallowed hard.
Aurora’s povMemories of last night played in my head. His words, his confession, and his rejection—all of it came crashing down on me, and I didn’t know how to take it. A part of me was happy that our feelings were mutual, but another part of me felt terrible. Despite his feelings for me, he didn’t want us to be together. Instead, he was sending me away. My heart tightened in my chest, and I felt like tearing up, but I held myself back and left the bed.After showering and dressing up, I decided to go downstairs for breakfast. Reaching the table, I found Frederick already seated. He was dressed in casual black jeans and a black T-shirt with two buttons left open. He looked so hot that I couldn’t help but fix my gaze on him.“Good morning,” I greeted, and he responded with a nod, glancing at me for a moment before returning to his food. My heart clenched, but I composed my emotions and poured myself a cup of coffee. I forced the food down my throat as we ate silently. I would constant
Aurora’s POV“Aurora!” Lord Frederick voice spoke from the other end of the phone.“We are being attacked; two black vehicles are following us,” I said in panic, and Lord Frederick grunted. “Put the phone on speaker,” he demanded, and I quickly did.“Fox, where are you guys?” he asked calmly, but I could sense the panic in his voice. “We are coming back to the mansion, but the cars are…” Fox couldn’t finish his statement as a loud gunshot fired into the air.“Jesus!” I blurted out in fear.“Aurora, calm down. You are inside a bulletproof car,” Lord Frederick assured me, but my heart was still racing.“Stay on the line,” Lord Frederick urged. With panting breath, I watched as Fox accelerated the car, driving at a fast pace. I looked through the mirror and noticed the cars were so close to us, and again another gun was fired at us.“Aurora,” Lord Frederick spoke over the phone, “Calm down. My men are already on their way; they will meet with you.” He assured me, and I nodded, fear still
