I am not thrilled about Dylan and the other guys leaving town for four days. While I am more than capable of protecting myself, I like that the guys are here. Dylan makes me feel so safe with him that I feel like a clingy girlfriend. I always told myself I would never be that girl, and now I am. I don’t want him to feel like I need him to always be with me. I release a sigh as I lay here comfortably in Dylan’s arms. “You are thinking too loud. Why are you even awake?” Dylan says. “Sorry, I just have so much on my mind,” I reply. “Okay, talk to me.” He states. “I feel like one of those clingy girlfriends, and I always promised myself I would never be that type of girl when I got a boyfriend,” I admit. “You are not one of those girls. While I don’t like seeing you in that ring at the gym sparring with all those men, and I don’t want to think about you participating in underground fighting, I love that you can protect yourself. The fact that if you wanted, you are capab
“At least the guys will be back tomorrow.” Lina says.“I know. Riley can irritate me, but these last two days have been weird. It has been quiet, too quiet.” Janessya comments.“It has been boring without the guys. However, they can never know this. They already have ridiculously inflated egos.” Emmy adds.We all laugh at her comment. She isn’t wrong. We are having a girls' night at Janessya’s. Her roommate moved out recently, and she hasn’t been able to find a new roommate yet. All the girls that have come to look at the room have either been bitches or weirdly quiet. I thought about helping Janessya out by moving in, but Dylan found out about my idea and quickly stopped it. The other three in the house weren’t thrilled with the idea either.“I still can’t believe you thought about moving in with Janessya.” Emery states.“I was trying to help out a friend. I thought it would be a good idea.” I hissed.“I am not surprised that Dylan shot that idea down as fast as he di
If my father finds out where I am he is going to kill me. I couldn’t sit around any longer waiting for him, Grant, and his other associates to grab Sapphire and bring her back. I told Dad I needed some time away to clear my head, which wasn’t a lie. Between trying to get our hands on Sapphire, and then finding out that the chick I was fucking is pregnant, I needed some time away from everyone. I am sure he thought I would head to one of our houses in Miami or Spain, but I came here instead. I text Karleena letting her know that I was coming and to be ready. This shit has taken way too long and I am not a patient man. I blame Gary for all this. If he wouldn’t have kicked her out of his house, she would already be my wife and I would have knocked her up already. My father and Grab=nt might be afraid of Carmine, but I am not. I am going to show all these assholes that I am not someone to mess with. If I have to kill all of them to get to Sapphire and Kyllyan then I will. Sapp
I swear if one more person tries to take my precious jewel from me I am going to lose my shit. I was just sent a video of Sapphire in the arms of another guy, who I recognized as Carter. It was taken when they were all traveling together that summer after she graduated. Whoever is responsible for this video was at least smart enough to edit out the date and time. I forwarded the video to everyone and that was when Tanin texted me letting me know the video was taken years ago. “These mother fuckers better hope I never find them. I am damn close to losing my shit.” I growl.“Calm down son. We know this is pissing you off, but we have Emery trying to trace the source of the video.” Dad tells me. Sapphire is sitting in my lap trying to calm me down. She ran into Dad’s house sobbing begging me not to believe the video. I wrapped my arms around her as she buried her face in my chest as I told her that I knew that video was old and who was in it. She has calmed down but light s
It’s been a week since we found out that Mateo is here. Right now none of us are thinking of that. Riley, Arlo, and I are standing beside Luke as we wait for the girls to walk in. Today Luke and Kyllyan are getting married which I still can’t wrap my mind around. The small private ceremony is being held in my parents backyard. Everyone is here. I was expecting Luke to be nervous, but he has more pent up energy than I have ever seen.“You are supposed to be nervous, but you act like you are ready to run a fucking marathon.” Riley points out.“I am not nervous, which I know is weird. I am terrified that she is going to change her mind and not walk through that door. I just want this to be over and my ring on her finger.” Luke replies. I know what he means. I can’t wait till tomorrow night. Yup, that is the big night. Tomorrow night I am taking my precious jewel out and then back to our future house after I slip the ring I purchased onto her finger. I should be nervous ju
I shivered as his breath floated across my ear. Dinner had been amazing, and I was amazed that Dylan was able to reserve a table at that restaurant. I know for a fact that there is at least a three or four month waiting list to get a table there. The food was delicious, making me want to come back as soon as we could. I couldn’t stop staring at my ring. I had a feeling that he was up to something, but I was not expecting this. The ring is gorgeous. The center stone is a large four carat tear drop shaped sapphire with diamonds that decrease in size as they circle the band. The band is rose gold and fits my finger perfectly. I was jolted from staring at the ring when the car stopped. I knew the house, but I wasn’t sure why we were stopping here. I did notice a few new pieces of furniture as we entered. “Why are we stopping at your house?” I asked.“The last part of your surprise is in there. Come on precious jewel, our night is just getting started.” He whispered in my ea
I didn’t think this idea through. It sounded great when I said something to Dylan about it, but I didn’t realize how much work this was going to be. I watch as the delivery guys place the last piece of furniture in the house before they leave. Dylan and I have been furniture shopping since our date three nights ago. We talked to Dad and Richard, they agreed that it would make them think that we are not worried about them. They weren’t thrilled with the idea, but they also didn’t tell us not to move into the house. Dad, Carmine, and Anthony left this morning for something in Greece or Italy. I am not sure which country they had to travel to. I let out a sigh as I looked at everything. Most of the furniture had already been delivered, but these few pieces had been out of stock when we ordered them, and they just came back in stock yesterday. I wasn’t expecting to have them arrive this soon. “Don’t worry my precious jewel, the guys are going to come over later and help us arra
I have been here for two weeks and I know that I am going to have to go back to the States soon. My father has been hounding me trying to find out where I am. I am sure he is looking for me, but since I told him I was going to travel around Europe to clear my head he has been trying to find me. I knew he wouldn’t, but he doesn’t know that. I also had work I needed to get back to. I want to bring Karleena with me, but I know if I did that Dad would know that I was here if I were to bring her home with me. “Hey, I am not angry. I know I can’t go back with you, no matter how badly I want to. We have to play this right if our plan is going to work.” Karleena says.The two of us are lying in her bed. We had woken up to her phone going off. She is cuddled into my side with her head on my shoulder as her fingers trace the lines of my muscles. We are both naked after several rounds of sex last night. Gareth had called her letting her know that they needed to talk, but she told hi
