.CHAPTER 32.
"DO I GET to meet her today?"
Xaver frowned "Who?"
Dinah rolled her eyes, "Crystal doesn't make you glow like that".
They were currently in the parking lot of the Hospital where Edith was being taken care of and Dinah was tense as hell. Her heartbeat was echoing loudly in her ears and the salad she'd munched two hours before the current moment seemed to be back in her mouth. She was going to throw up.
Within minutes, they'd shuffled into the building and were soon inside the elevator. Every step they took brought them closer to their grandmother and Dinah trembled as she held back tears. Her mother had done a good job teaching her how to mask her emotions and act calm and calculated. When Xaver took her hand, she knew he saw right through her facade. He and Brandon always seemed to know exactly how she felt every moment even if she looked as cheerful as her ten years old self ripping open presents for Chri

WHILST THE LONG hand of the clock kissed six and the short hand hugged seven, Xaver was chopping onions on a wooden chopping board as Dinah watched."She should be here any minute", he muttered. He wanted the food to be ready before she arrived but he doubted he'd be able to achieve that."And you're cooking at the pace of a snail. I'd help you but I'm tired""Yeah, for doing absolutely nothing" Xaver reprimanded as he expertly dumped the chopped onions into hot oil. A roaring sizzle echoed throughout the kitchen and Dinah sniffed as she put a cubed pineapple in her mouth.Her nose was runny from all the crying in the hospital. You'd think it'd have stopped by now. She'd left Edith a mucus and make up stained shirt to remember her by. Except, she won't. Sigh.Dinah shut her eyes and moaned as her favourite fruit melted on her tongue, exploding into sweetness, "Mmmm. Ugh. Pineapples are God
SINFUL SENSATIONS .CHAPTER 34.
Years ago in Tales ^°^He did not come that day. Nor the day before that. Sreya was relieved. And thirsty. Taking a deep breath that set her lungs on fire, she swung her feet off the table at the tempo of a sloth and tried to sit up as hunger gnawed at the walls of her empty stomach with a fury that was devilishly dizzying in its intensity. Pains from sporadic contractions of her long inactive muscles flooded Sreya's body causing her to release a groan that was a little too loud, pursuing it with a wince and a curse. With ragged breathing, low moans and quivering lips, she nursed the very undesired contractions till t

SHOVING THE MEMORIES of her achingly sour past to the back of her mind, Sreya smiled, hoping with all her heart that it reached her eyes before telling the story of her childhood, the Father she never met but heard about, her twin brothers and the beautiful yet astonishing way the people of Tales worked together to take care of their own....a fact Sreya believed was only possible because of the diminutive population. As she spoke, Dinah's searching silver grey eyes wandered across Sre's face and for a fleeting moment, Sreya wondered if she had Xaver's eccentric ability to see right through her.She was never to find out if the Kirkgrade sibling possessed the same mastery becausethe gorgeous woman looked past her and murmured softly, dreamily, "It must have been nice growing up in such a place".And it had been nice...For a while..."Why did you leave?"The air-condition in

XAVER'S CYAN EYES softened as they scanned Sreya's long lashes, slightly freckled nose and her wickedly ravishing full mouth as she slept peacefully beside him. Her breathing even.It'd almost been a week since Dinah travelled but Verum City would have still felt her presence if Brandon wasn't so obsessed with her."You know I won't miss Sreya's grand introduction to Clara for the world", his sister had said as the damp Monday breeze greedily lapped at her hair. The golden blonde strands danced, effortlessly swaying to the beat of the unyielding wind . She was going to be flying privately to Kruz, as Brandon preferred. Personally, she did not care much. She just wanted to get in the plane and curl on the wide comfortable bed with golden sheets, she tired quite easily these days.Completely aware of the brazen excitement in sharp grey eyes concealed by large sunglasses, Xaver replied with amusement, "You're only sayin

SREYA WAS SORE all over yet a smile dwelt on her lips as she made pancakes. Scooping the already decently whisked mixture of eggs, milk, sugar and flour, she gently poured it into a pan with already heated oil. And despite her viciously aching muscles and limbs Sre felt really good... And genuinely happy.Lifting the already well-done pancake she'd been nursing, she turned to the counter to place it on a plate and spotted Xaver staring at her with an amused yet intense and caressing look in his cyan eyes, she gave an uncomfortable laugh, "What?"Xaver was currently shirtless with sweats covering the lower part of his body. Though they were in Sreya's house at this time, he'd previously dropped a few clothes just like she'd done at his place since they sort of interchanged locations once in a while. But given his already complicated relationship status they mostly camped at Sreya's because it'd be awkward having Crystal walk in on
SINFUL SENSATIONS .CHAPTER 38.
LOPSIDED DISHEVELED BUN, shimmering eyes, swollen lips, a Stentorian hickey and a hidden but still evident teeth mark Shyly peeking through the neckline of the thin backless top Sreya was wearing.... Ethan was getting an alarmingly broad amount Of data on the 'behind the scenes' of his baby sister's life. He of all people should know when a woman has been thoroughly ravaged... His wife looked just like this—or worse—after a long night of passion.A frown carved the flesh on his forehead, "I'd ask how you've been but I can see.." his eyes pierced her hickey again, "You've been busy".Of Freya Dronian's unidentical twin sons, Ethan and Mason, Sreya seemed to share a much deeper bond with the former. Back in Tales, Ethan'd taken her everywhere: The coffee bar, the beach, the little hotdog stand down the street... Buying her threats with the little money he'd get from work. He was overly protective of her and even
SINFUL SENSATIONS .CHAPTER 39.
MOMENTS SAILED PAST and the intense ache in Sreya's heart became a lulling, dull throb as the stream of tears ceased to run. Silence dominated the space and Ethan ran his hand down her back, Sre still on his lap as his body slightly moved from side to side, like that of a mother when trying to hush a wailing baby.Ethan sighed, the feeling of guilt about the past was something his sister would have to work on on her own. One is always completely able to let go of something when the decision comes from within. It might be hard but it's possible. And maybe when she accomplishes that, she'd see that none of that was her fault. Whether her body responded or not, the bastard would have put his hands on her regardless.Sreya sniffed and a small whisper kissed the air , "Ethan?""Hmm?""Sorry. There's snot on your turtleneck now".Ethan's chuckle was low, "It's okay". He had no idea why they were
SINFUL SENSATIONS .CHAPTER 40.
XAVER'S LIPS DEPOSITED a soft kiss on the back of the slender hand laced with his as the four wheels of his black Ferrari glided down the long narrow driveway leading to 1813 Hill View.And though Sreya graced the cyan eyes that fleetingly glanced at her with a small smile, anxiety trussed her Intestines in firm knots and invoked globs of sweat that now peppered the gentle arch of her eyebrows and her cupid's bow.In less than a minute she was going to be inside the Kirkgarde manor smiling through crippling apprehension and intense nervosity. Briefly, she wondered if Crystal was going to be present and what Xaver was going to introduce her as. Sreya genuinely could not deduce his sudden desire that she meet his mom and she was just realizing that she'd been so submerged in him she hadn't asked the right questions. Now those same questions sat on the tip of her tongue...How many people exactly will be at this 'small' g
