When I stepped outdoors, Claire was no longer in the garden. I inhaled deeply and started to move in the direction of the woodland. I began to run as soon as I entered the woods. As I made my way down a short track that went along the edge of the forest line. My skin was stroked by the warm, muggy morning air while being practically lulled to sleep by the sound of birds. The feeling was wonderful.
I wasn't sure how long I ran, but the wind and sun felt lovely on my skin, and the sounds and scents of everything around me had me dozing off. I slowed down till I came to a complete halt. A broad smile spread across my face as I sat down on one of the large tree roots. I made the decision to return after five minutes, but as soon as I did, that peaceful sensation vanished and was replaced with a tense feeling.
My brows furrowed in confusion and dread. Uncertain of what I was feeling, I took a glance around. Seconds passed. And suddenly it dawned on me. The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. Dread fluttered in my stomach as my head started to imagine unpleasant scenarios.
Damn, someone’s watching me.
My heart started to race as I spun around and hurried back toward the village, trying to fight the desire to run that was burning inside me.
"There was nothing here," I murmured to myself and ran my hands up and down my arms in an effort to fight the chill.
I crossed the forest lane and moved straight for the cabin's entrance. I would phone my mum and perhaps let her know that I am now on a different continent. Right. I ought to have done it from the beginning. I paused and scanned the forest once again over my shoulder before stepping into the house. Though I didn't see anything, I had the impression that I wasn't alone. A chill spread down my arms. With my eyes closed and convincing myself that it was all in my imagination, I shut the door and rested against it.
For the remainder of the day, I remained indoors. I made a call to my mum to keep myself busy so I cannot remember the incident in the forest earlier. She chastised me for leaving alone hastily during the call, as I had anticipated. By the way she inquired about Anthony, I inferred that my ex-fiance had not informed her about Anthony and myself.
I was unsure of whether to be relieved about it or not.
I sighed as a sudden sense of exhaustion crept into my bones. I had been reading books for the previous hour and making every effort to focus on the channel on the television in the living room. Sufficient enough to kill time. Simply put, I was looking forward to Claire picking me up so we could go out to a fun bar to close the day. Perhaps to ignore the odd sensation I'm experiencing as well as the earlier incident in the woods. I had, at the very least, take action. I wondered whether I would depart earlier than anticipated throughout the time I was by myself.
Claire came to my door at five o'clock in the afternoon and asked whether I was prepared to leave. It's a good thing I had prepared beforehand. We both walked up to the black car that was parked directly in front of my cabin. Two ladies waved at me while standing in heels and tight outfits that revealed their slender legs.
They were both stunning, as was Claire, who was wearing a short, dark blue dress. In a high ponytail, she had her dark blond hair pushed back.
As soon as I came close to them, I said, "Hi."
The two simply widened their eyes, gave me a warm embrace, and cast a knowing glance in Claire's way.
"Is she…..?” One of the women questioned Claire.
"I'm what?” I questioned them instead.
“Nothing. You're just as stunning as we heard,” An attractive brunette woman reaches out her hand and says, “Sally.”
The one with dark hair chimed in, "Kate."
I extended a handshake to them. “Jaidyn”
"What have you heard about me?” Curious, I questioned afterward.
Sally gave me a wink before crossing to the other side of the door as Kate moved toward the driver's seat. "Good stuff,"
I nodded, burying the curiosity deep in my head. My door was held open by Claire. Before entering, I murmured my gratitude to her. Throughout the ride, I chuckled and joined in on the chat among the three. I discovered that Kate was the one who kept to herself and, like me, simply laughed at the other two's antics from a distance. I was appreciative of Kate's leisurely driving, which allowed me to fully appreciate the stunning outside environment. I should have brought my camera along to record the recollections of these people, so it was a waste.
I decided to address the question that had been on my mind after giving each of them a careful look. "Do any of you know somebody who resides in the woods?"
I forced a little awkward grin on Sally and Claire as their heads abruptly turned to look at me with startled eyes.
Claire questioned, "Did you see him?"
"So, someone actually resides there?"
Sally and Claire shared a brief moment of eye contact similar to what Claire and Cayden did in their home. They exchanged unblinking glances for an extended period of time.
With a little smile on her lips, Claire replied, "Yes".
“So, Jaidyn, what do you do in the States?” Kate abruptly asked as she looked back at me in the rearview mirror.
Even though I had more questions I wanted to ask, I went along with the topic shift. “Me? Uhm…I’m a college professor”
“Really?” Sally responded, "That's cool.”
“Are you on leave, that's why you're here?” Claire chimed in.
I shook my head. “Yes. I took a leave of absence. Since I was meant to be here with my fiancé—now ex—this vacation was made on the spur of the moment.”
I afterward regretted saying that, since there was immediate quiet in the car. The reason I said that, though, escapes me completely. Perhaps because I feel like I have to say it out loud for it to sink into me.
“Do you mind if I ask what happened?” Sally said.
“No, not at all, because I also didn't know,” I said with a dry chuckle. My attention shifted to my ring finger, which was suddenly bare of the gold band I had on it before. It's not the best idea to wear an engagement ring to a nightclub. "He simply informed me out of the blue that he wanted to break up with me, exactly as I told him about this trip. I ended up taking this trip impulsively because of that.”
"Heck, I cannot imagine the pain. When my boyfriend for three years and I broke up, it really left me devastated", Sally said, shaking her head.
"He was my boyfriend for eight years and we're engaged. About to get married next year"
Sally snapped her head at me, her mouth opened as if to speak. But she ended up giving me a reassuring smile.
“He's a jackass,” Kate grumbled.
“A f*cking asshole” Sally seconded.
I giggled at their response. It turns out that telling that isn't that horrible. My chest felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted. "He is."
Claire squeezed my hand. “He doesn't deserve you. Someone does.”
She looks and speaks with such genuine seriousness. I quipped, "Well, maybe I'll run across him years from now," but no one laughed.
They merely gave me a knowing look, as if they were aware of something I wasn't. And for some reason, that made me nervous.
I overlooked those stares and took a deep breath before turning to the window, opening it, and sticking my head out to let the wind blow my red hair. A smile tugged on my lips at the feeling of the cool breeze caressing my cheeks. I'm afraid they'll think I'm crazy. Normally, it would be enough for me to hide my head inside and close the window, but just now, the joy of a calming feeling caused me to stay, temporarily relieving the pain in my heart. After a little while, I heard Sally and Claire laughing, and I looked over to see the two doing the same, while Kate with her arm outside and her other hand on the steering wheel.
Yup, this was fine.
“Please stop that.” I grimaced at Kate. I focused on the faces of the men in front of the pub before returning to Kate. Although I have no clue where Sally and Claire went, I am confident that they were with the two guys who invited them to dance earlier. Others have asked me as well, but I decline since I lack the enthusiasm to join others on the dance floor while they spin about. We've been there at the pub for a while. By the time I had finished my fourth glass of Blackberry vodka, Kate was already slouched on the counter. "I can't help it. I'm puzzled as to why your fiance would treat you in such a way when you are so attractive,” Kate laughed and looked at me with a mischievous smirk. "And let me note, you don't look like a professor right now." I was aware that I was different at this time. My gorgeous reddish brown hair was in gentle waves. The mid-thigh length red dress that hugged my figure brought out my curves, and the black heels made my legs appear slender. When compar
He gently tipped my head back and to the side while holding my chin between his thumb and fingers. As though I had no power over my body, my eyelids closed on their own. As soon as I felt his lips once again brush across my skin, my heart started to beat violently. When I felt the wet heat of his tongue running across my neck, I moaned. He groaned against my skin and said, "You smell so fucking amazing, kitten." Strangely enough, his endearment made me ache more between my thighs. I closed my eyes as this tingling sensation moved down my body. I opened my eyes and stared into the strong and intense blue eyes of this enigmatic man before lowering my sight to his mouth. I held my breath as I heard him making this deep rumbling noise. His blue eyes, which I had first seen straight at the entrance, caught my breath as I peered into them. Before I could process why I was allowing anything to happen, he was moving in closer and our breaths were mingling. His lips lightly caressed mine. I
The loud and annoying sound of my ringtone made me force my eyes to open. Blinking, I scour the mattress for my phone. If I remember correctly, I tossed it around here last night. I glanced at my phone with strained eyes and furrowed brows in irritation to see that it was my alarm. While groaning, I took note of the passing of time. Three o'clock had come and gone. My focus shifted to the window, where there was obviously orange sunshine pouring through the curtain. I sat up sluggishly and craned my neck. After lying down for too long, my entire body hurts. Thankfully, the headache had subsided somewhat. I tossed the covers away and went to the kitchen to drink water. When I noticed the apple in the fruit basket, I munched one and went to the window. The sun lowering over the horizon illuminated the crystal-clear sky, which had a golden color. Since my limbs are so stiff, I'm even more frustrated, and I'm sure that everything will bother me. I desperately need to go for a nice jog r
Traian I promised myself that when the time was perfect, I would take her through the entire estate. Once I had her, everything would go smoothly. She looked back at me and said, "I do have to go now. Thank you for escorting me here." I gestured for her to go ahead of me and said, "Let me take you there. Your house is only a short walk away, and I can't let you walk in the woods alone." “How did you find out where I reside?” With a grimace, she questioned. I can't claim that I monitor her cabin every night, so I'll just answer, "There's only a limited area here where houses are built, so I figured you came from there." She seems reluctant, and I can smell it. However, I was relieved when she finally nodded and proceeded onto the trail. But it only lasts for a moment when one of my pack mates lets out a huge, rumbling roar, breaking the forest's silence. She swung around, her eyes wide with fear. "It's nothing. Wild beasts are many in the wilderness that surround the estate. They
I put on a short, form-fitting dress, slipped my heels into my feet, grabbed my purse, and strolled to the door. I don't care if my eyes are swollen; I need diversions, and going to the bar was the best one I could think of right now. Just this evening, I felt like rebelling. Once more, I want to forget. Because it appears that I need more booze tonight. Fortunately, Cayden called and asked if I felt like going for a stroll because he hadn't seen me yet that morning. He seemed to have returned from work. I took advantage of the situation to request that he deliver it to the nearby pub instead. Although he appeared uncertain, he nonetheless agreed.When I flung open the door, he was standing next to a black ranger. He opened the car door without saying a word as I approached him. We pull away from the town once we're inside.Even though it wasn't that late, I said, "I'm sorry to ask you this time," but I had no other options because I only had him and Claire—whose phone number I didn't
He didn't do anything except stare at me and watch me till he pulled me close to him. His thick and hard erection was pressing against my stomach as we were joined knee to chest. My breath caught as we locked eyes. His head lowered, and his lips touched mine. I felt as though I had no control over my body since my eyes closed on their own. I immediately found myself losing all sense of reasoning.My pain has been replaced by a yearning that I'm not sure I really understand. I cave, just like last night. My logical considerations began to fade away. I just want to put the anger and frustrations that the man I believed was my soulmate caused behind me this night. The love that was now uncertain. I want to forget.So I did something I hadn't even realized I had been dying to do. I kissed him. For a brief moment, he appeared stunned before his lips ravished mine. He gave me a possessive kiss. I moaned to his lips as a strange sensation started to emerge from within me.With labored breath
Traian The final remnants of my self-control fled when I felt her lips on mine and caressed her body. Though I am aware that she had no idea, her remarks nonetheless hurt. She needed a diversion from the agony I could clearly scent back in the pub. Even if she believed I was the solution to her pain, I'd accept it happily. I'll accept anything she gives me. I know she'll figure out what her body meant when it responds to mine very soon. "You're mine, Jaidyn. Mine," I growled, smashing my lips on hers again. My entire body was mashed up against hers. She produced the most delicate noises as we were fucking, but when I placed my hardest section against her belly, that delicate sound changed into a startled gasp. I stuck my tongue inside her mouth while it was slightly open, and the flavor was as precise as I had imagined. Sweet. Addicting. I lost control of myself. My entire life, I have been looking forward to this—to her. I've spent centuries daydreaming and longing about my mat
Jaidyn I can feel Traian's fingers inside of me. With his fingers firmly lodged in my pussy, I experienced a thick, enveloping sensation I had never before felt. Just from two of his big digits, I am stretched this far. Knowing it's about to happen, I say, "I'm going to come." ”'I know, baby. I'm feeling your pussy clenching my fingers.” He groans as he pushes them harder and faster, "God, so fucking tight.” And that's it; that's when I come, coming strongly. I groaned incoherently as I let forth my orgasm. My body was vibrating with pleasure, and I was panting and dizzy. With a long, leisurely lick of his tongue, he gently kissed the inside of my thigh. He took a sharp breath, then withdrew and lifted his hand. He maintained my gaze on him as he brought his finger to his lips, never letting go as he sucked them completely, causing my eyes to widen and my mouth to part even more. “You tasted so sweet, baby,” I was unable to look away after he had finished cleaning them. With his
