Chapter 2:As soon as I heard them leave the house the next morning, I picked up the only change of clothes I had and ran away ran away from the house I had known as my home all my life.I ran without a specific direction. All I had in mind was to get as far away as possible from them. I didn’t even know the town well enough because I had only gone there once when my mother fell sick and my father wasn’t around. I had to go with the doctor to retrieve some drugs. Aside that instance, I had never been to town. Yet I planned on heading there.That was where I would see people who could help me. I would just have to find someone that would give me shelter for today. Tomorrow, I would go find my own space. The town was large enough for me to live in without clashing into my cruel parents. But if it happened that I couldn’t stay any more without seeing them, I would save enough to go very far away.I tried to recall the paths that led to town from the old memory I had and I soon realize I
Chapter 3: Everett“Tell me, brother, when will you get married again?” Estelle, my youngest sister asked as we moved between the bushes. I was a few steps behind her as she asked the question. I wanted to respond but Elena beat me to it.“Don’t be silly Estelle! He will get married again when the time is right!” Elena looked more like she wanted to start a fight with Estelle rather than explain to her calmly why I remained single to date.Estelle pulled her face into a frown as she glared at Elena.I looked between them and shook my head. There was no point interfering. They obviously didn’t want me to reply. They couldn’t even begin to understand what it was like for me. I had stayed alone in this forest, in the middle of nowhere while they had families they could return to whenever they got bored. It would be better if I let them settle this on their own –I thought to myself as I continued taking exaggerated slow steps behind them.“But he is getting older and quieter! Can’t you se
Chapter 4: Goldilocks“We will forgive you on one condition… that you pay back,” One of the ladies with the man said.“I am very good with house chores. I can help out with whatever you want!” I quickly mentioned. My heart was racing so fast in my chest, I thought I would pass out. How could I have been so stupid? How could I have let my hunger get the better of me? I shouldn’t have come into this cottage! And most importantly I shouldn’t have slept in their house!“You will have to stay here with my brother as his surrogate,” the lady that spoke first said.The room seem to fall into silence as my brain took in their words. A surrogate meant I would have to give him a child… or was there another meaning to this?“What do you mean?” I stuttered as my fingers started to shake in fear.The lady wanted to speak but the brother beat her to it, “Estelle, I don’t think that would be necessary,” he said as he eyed my body and walked out of the room.“Everett!” she screamed after him.The se
Chapter 5: EverettI went back to Estelle’s room and lay on the bed with a smile on my face.“Goldilocks…” I whispered as I tested her name on my lips.She was so innocent, I couldn’t believe my luck. When Estelle had mentioned making her my surrogate, I didn’t agree with her because I wanted it to be a confirmed agreement between me and the woman she would bring and not Goldilocks. She just happened to have walked into my house. Yes, she might have walked in and made herself comfortable without my permission but making her my surrogate without her opinion was too much of a punishment… besides, there was something about her that just made it hard to hurt her.She was too beautiful. The way her eyes changed colors when her emotions overwhelmed her was exciting to watch. The way she took her lips into her mouth sent my cock into another realm. I couldn’t understand why she affected me this much. I didn’t want to forcefully keep her with me but I was certain about one thing, I wanted her
Chapter 6: GoldilocksI couldn’t sleep. My heart and my body had developed a mind of their own. It refused to listen to my brain. My body wanted the man to keep touching me. I enjoyed the way his hands rested on my waist. I wanted to move away, but my body refused to bulge. Plus there was no space to move into except I wanted to fall off the bed.I had brought all these upon myself. I should have never come into the cottage without seeking permission. I shouldn’t have even given him the option to sleep on the same bed with me… now I was doomed to stay awake all night. I wasn’t even scared of what he would do because to an extent, I trusted him. What I was scared of… was myself.My core was hurting. It needed to be touched. It wanted attention and I couldn’t demand anything from the man holding my waist as if I belonged to him. His hands fit perfectly on my body like it was meant to be there. I felt safe and not scared as I had initially thought. Maybe staying here was the solution to
Chapter 7: Everett“Sleep with me afterward…” I said staring into her golden orbs. She let out a small gasp and I chuckled at her action. She obviously thought I meant something sensual but my thoughts were far from that except if she wanted to permit me to do it.“You woke up too early. It will give me joy if you slept in after all the hard work,” I explained to her.“Okay… I will sleep after I finish cleaning up this mess I made,” she stated in her usual timid voice.I placed my index finger on her lips and I stopped her from speaking. Her lips felt so soft under my finger, I wished it was a different part of me against her lips and not my finger. “I will clean it. You should eat and rest,” I insisted.She seemed to be lost in my eyes and the movement of my finger on her lips as she nodded softly. If I stayed in that kitchen any longer, I would claim her body. I dropped my finger from her face and walked out briskly. She was too tempting for me to keep resisting. I walked back to th
Chapter 8: GoldilocksI know he told me to get some rest but I couldn’t. I wasn’t used to this kind of treatment. Deep down, a voice told me he would come in and hurt me. I kept my eyes open as I sat on the bed with my knees propped on it and folded to my chest. This way, if he came in here, I would be able to run off and save myself somehow.I wasn’t entirely naïve. I knew some very cruel men in town who kidnapped girls and used them for their personal goals and objectives without actually marrying them. I didn’t want to escape slavery from my parents and then come get it at the hands of a strangely beautiful man in the middle of the forest.I heard the knock at the door and I jumped off the bed and tiptoed to the bedroom door to see who it was. I opened the door slightly and I heard the female voice coming from the living room. I couldn’t hear exactly what she was saying but I could tell they were having a calm conversation. But how sure was I that they were not calmly planning my d
Chapter 9: EverettI had just watched Elena’s carriage leave when I returned to the house and I heard the loud gush of water coming from the bathroom. I had heard it even before Elena left but I didn’t pay much attention to it because I had told Goldilocks to rest. I figured she had decided to take a shower before resting which was also good. But when I returned I realized that the level of water was too much for a simple bath.I ran up the stairs and tried to go into the room. That was when I realized the door was locked. I tried to push it open, but it didn’t budge. “Goldilocks! What are you doing?” I called aloud but no one answered. There was something wrong. I had to get in. I took a step back and crashed against the door with the full force of my weight and it cracked open. The bathroom door was open and I ran in without even checking the room. It was obvious she was there and she wasn’t doing the right thing. She was trying to escape!She had broken the window and there was a
