Chapter 18
ERYX
She really loves to test me and I’m going to have fun showing her exactly who she belongs to. Teaching her what happens when she lets someone who’s not me touch her.
Her mind is going to run wild with theories once she sees me walk in. She’ll be completely wrong, of course. But I won’t tell her that yet.
The bell chimes about the cafe and I walk in with Brielle. I brought her to a public place that way I’d be less likely to kill her.
I spot her soon as I walk in, sitting there, drinking her coffee, not a care in the world.
I find a table close to hers and pick the seat facing hers.
I want her to see me. Let her feel an ounce of what I feel seeing her with that asshole as she’ll feel seeing me with her.
The girl I told her not to worry about. The girl I care nothing about.
I brought Brielle here to see why the fuck she popped back up. I left her three years ago and made it very clear I didn’t want to see her agin. She was supposed to fuck off into the sunset. So why has she shown back up, and why does she think she has any kind of stake over me.
“Thanks for bringing me out today, reminds me of how we used to be.” Her voice scratches my brain and not in that sexy kind of way.
My eyes shifting to the girl in all black a few seats back. Her eyes trained on mine, and I use it to my advantage. I place my hand on Brielles arm.
“That’s not what this is. You threw us away when you opened your whore legs for Jason.”
She goes red and tries to get out of my hold but I don’t let her.
“That was a mistake. You’re the only one I want. I missed you. I want a second chance. I know I messed up but deep down I know you still love me.”
“No, I’m the one who knows yours, who knows every button to press.
What makes you tick. I bet Jason doesn’t even reach.
” I lean closer, egging her on. “That’s what you really need isn’t it, a reminder of what you lost. You chose him, and you’ll never have my dick again.
It kills you that another is getting everything you could have had.
But let me put you on to a little secret,” I whisper in her ear my words taunt her.
“You were just a warm hole to fill. Get my dick wet when I needed it. You wanted to be a whore for Jason, but you were already a whore for me. Isn’t that right?
I mean, you were there at the ready everyday. ”
There’s tears in her eyes but I don’t give a fuck. “Now, I ask you again, why are you here?”
“I’m the only one who knows you. Who can give you what you need. You think that bitch can come close to what I gave you?”
She’s talking mighty big, not realizing who’s sitting a few chairs back.
“What I need, is for you to move the fuck on and get out of my life, before I remove you myself. And call her a bitch again, and I’ll show you what a bitch really looks like.”
“I’m not afraid of you Eryx.”
“No? Maybe you should be.”
From behind her I see Anastasia excuse herself and head towards the restrooms.
“I’m going to wash my hands before I catch whatever you might have, don’t be here when I get back.”
I leave her sitting there and trek after Moya Vorona. She’s not off the hook either.
I follow behind her, and she welcomes me with that pretty mouth of hers.
“What the fuck are you doing in here perv, get out!” She raises her voice at me.
I just smile and drag her into one of the stalls.
“I could ask you the same thing.”
“I’m just here drinking coffee, with a friend.”
Does she think I was born yesterday? A friend, really?
“Yeah, sure. Does he know that?”
Dean is vile. And I’ll be damned if I let him touch what’s mine.
“Why do you care? You’re here with blondie.”
I crowd her and lean in. My nose on her neck, taking in her vanilla scent. I grip her hair, pulling her closer. “Mm, is my girl jealous? I told you, she doesn’t matter.”
Her skin pebbles at my words.
“Fuck you!” She tries to push me away. “I’m not your girl.”
“Careful, you keep threatening me with a good time and I’ll have to believe you.” I bite her neck, leaving my mark. She wants to hang out with her friend, cool. I’ll make sure this friend knows she’s taken.
“If you want me to fuck you baby, all you gotta do is ask… on your knees.”
I make sure the mark is visible. I want her to feel me long after she leaves.
“The day I give you my dick, you’ll be on your knees crawling towards me, begging me to fill this cunt.” I press into her, letting her feel what she does to me.
She pushes me away, and this time I let her.
“Keep dreaming. I’ll never get on my knees for you.”
Before she reaches the door, “Never say never baby.”
She wasn’t in class the next day, then I found out from Roman, who found out through Ro, as to why.
Mom always told us, “Remember, a woman’s heart isn’t won in grand gestures alone.
It’s in the quiet care. A warm bowl of soup when she’s ill, listening when she feels unheard, and reminding her she’s cherished even in her weakest moments.
Nourish her spirit as much as her body, and she will never forget how safe she feels with you. ”
I dropped off her favorites, sour gummy worms, those gummy sharks you see at the movies, and those god awful chocolate twizzlers she always has hanging out of her mouth when she studies. I made sure to stop by Ophelias and get some fresh chicken noodle soup, along with a heating pad and some meds.
She might fight against me now, but Anastasia is mine. I’ll make sure to always take care of her.
