Arya’s POV “Take a stance and listen carefully. You don’t need years of training to win a fight, most times the best doesn’t always win. It’s all about perception. Can you perceive your opponent’s next move? This can only be done by knowing their strength and weaknesses then using it to your advantage” Nicklaus deep voice echoed while I kept my ears peeled taking every word with seriousness. Staring at his tall muscular figure, his hands were clasped against his back making him exude an authoritative aura. I gulped nearly giving up my plan to avenge Lucious. He’s so tall, will I have to jump to reach his face?My train of thoughts were cut short by his command. “Try to hit me” he declared as though reading my mind. My lips curled up as a sly smirk stretched it and I couldn’t help but mentally say.‘Okay, if you insist’.Not giving too much thought I charged ahead with my hands fisted and ready to pummel a blow but for a second it felt like my eyes deceived me. It took me a while t

Dawn of the day met their awakening. Arya popped open her eyes knowing it was useless to pretend again. The sight before her was glorious, just simply magnificent. “It should be illegal to look this handsome” Arya breathed, using her index pad line out his features, especially his sharp nose bridge, it was literally begging to be toyed with. So lost in her imaginations that she didn’t realize when he opened his eyes. His gaze held some amusement as he watched her smile in a daze but that smile stiffened the moment his deep voice penetrated her ears.“If you look at me like that, I might just cancel today’s plans”.A flustered blush creeped on Arya’s face, the look in his eyes let her know he was dead serious and she couldn’t help but wonder ‘how can the peaceful frame moments ago morph into a monster in seconds?’ Staying longer wouldn’t do her any good so she raised the quilt but in the blink of an eye she dropped it back. Her face flashing tons of emotions. ‘Last night...didn’t I

Bella’s POV My body recognized him instantly, his rapid intrusion blocked my disarrayed thoughts, all I wanted was to submit to my darkest desires and within seconds I felt my wish slowly coming true. The kiss deepened as his movements intensified causing him to rise to his feet and toss me against the counter. My compliant wasn’t needed as he swiftly lifted my frame, flinging the obstruction of a wine glass that landed with a loud “clank!” And placed my butt just where he wanted.But none of that mattered, the only thing ringing in my brain is how he’s repeatedly grinding against my lips. He was certainly on fire, his igniting mine effortlessly. My hands roamed through his blonde hair as his heated kiss trailed to my collar bone.“Mhmm...” I stumbled over my moans. My deep V-neck dress gave him a lot of skin to chew on. Not that I was complaining to be honest, his lascivious behavior summoned an unthinkable appetite within me and I wrapped my legs around his toned waist evidently pu

Arya’s POV If I had known Nicklaus could be this shameless, I wouldn’t have opened it in front of Emily but I guess that’s out of the question now. My cheeks flushed as I slowly lowered the letter and met Emily’s blushing gaze. Call me a coward but the only thought in my head is how to escape what’s coming. “Oh my! That’s so cheesy. So you do have a boyfriend” Emily chirped while I stared on conflicted. “Is that why you turned down Prince Damian?” She pressed nudging me with her shoulders while I could only roll my eyes as an excuse. The note read:[“I want you ready in the yacht, I’ll be back from my trip tomorrow]Let’s be honest, this isn’t the kind of note to be mailed, his methods are always so different. As I unfolded the paper completely I realize why he resulted to such techniques.[“Take my calls or you won’t sleep a wink when I get back”]It wasn’t as if I blacklisted his number, and even if I did it was for good reasons. I only placed my phone on ‘Do not disturb’ un

Arya’s POV The jittery feeling in my belly is really starting to irk me, if anything I should be scared for my life not anticipating my evening with Nicklaus. It was noon already and I couldn’t help but curse at the time. Why was it moving so goddamn fast?! Then again, it’s my fault that I overslept and I’m now stuck battling hangovers. I lazily moved my body to the shower and did justice to my appearance. After which I dragged my legs to my kitchen counter and took a box of cereal. A sigh quickly escaped my lips as I made a mental note ‘I really need to cook something’.I pulled open the fridge door and voila my eyes widened in wonder. How dumb of me to forget my mom brought stacks of foods. “Mom you’re the best!” I squealed in excitement as I brought out a pot and emptied one of the containers while humming a tone as I watched it boil. Not long after I was chumming down an exotic dish, I tossed my spoon and slumped back on my kitchen elevated chair. ‘Men that was good’.Tasti
