Phoebe’s POVI stay immobilized with shock as his cold demeanor slips off slightly and the picture of vulnerability takes its place.It bemused me severely because he looked so...fragileI felt my chest feel heavy with unnamed emotions as I stared at him and decide to remain silent. After all, I really had no wish to watch him crumble because I know it will break me to see him like this, knowing that I’m the one who made him visit a part of his memory lane which he desperately wanted to part with.However, he mistakes my silence as persistence for him to go on and continues with his saying “The whole castle used to be dark and hauntingly scary when I was born. My parents couldn’t leave because my grandpa was sick and wanted to be with his children before he died. I was the firstborn and for some reason, he wanted to mold me in his own sick ways. He used to lock me up in this very room when I was four and I

Phoebe’s POVHe looks at me for the longest time then suddenly he throws me down on the bed.“Whoa Bla-” He unexpectedly cuts me off by kissing me and I open my mouth to provide him access as he slides his tongue.His tongue slowly strokes mine in a strong frenzy and I feel myself growing impossibly wet with each passing second.After what felt like ages, he breaks away from me only to swipe his tongue seductively on the length of my neck and pushes one long finger inside my sex.My gapes open with a loud moan and I move my hips in motion as his fingers keep plunging inside me over and over again, hitting the front wall of my vagina each time.“Damn it, love, you’re dripping wet” He rasps out and I still move my hips in sync to his fingers greedily taking in all that I have to offer.My body bucks off the bed as he hits my g-spot and seeing my face contort with pleasure, he continue

Phoebe’s POV “You’re wrong” He mumbles so softly that I almost don’t hear him. I turn my head to study his face which was now, unfortunately, devoid of emotions. “I don’t understand,” I say. He looks up and locks his eyes with mine and I see the pain behind those gorgeous orbs. A myriad of emotions was splayed across his eyes. From sorrow to regret, from regret to remorse, from remorse to relief, all of them lasting for a few seconds only to settle with relief. “You’re wrong because whether you believe it or not, you do mean a lot to me, Phoebe. I don’t know why or how this happened but you have no clue how much it hurt me to see you so fragile and weak when Nate brought you in last night. Seeing Nate carrying you inside the castle…” He trails off saying and his eyes squeeze shut with evident fury and frustrations. And continues again “…it made me incredibly angry knowing that because of my stupid mistake, you almo

Phoebe’s POV “I still don’t like the chairs over there,” I say whilst pointing at the silver-rimmed chairs piled near the exit that arrived instead of gold-rimmed ones.I massaged my temples in frustration and rubbed the sweat away from my face with my cotton handkerchief.The sun glared down at us with its scorching heat as we worked on it. Suddenly I regretted sporting my all-black attire.After my heated morning with Blaze, I thankfully reached my room without bumping with any staff except Gerard.Out of all the people, I bumped into him right outside Blaze’s room, wearing nothing other than his black button-down shirt. The butler’s face was truly a sight to behold. His usual stoic expression was replaced with one that displayed utter shock when I opened the door with a shirtless Blaze in tow and thankfully he kept his mouth shut after noticing

Phoebe’s POVI momentarily stiffen at his question but instead of anger, I’m overcome with guilt and fear. Because of the meds, I wasn’t feeling any rage but fear was still lurking around making me gulp nervously.“I slept over your brother’s childhood bedroom last night since it was the closest one from the backdoor” I answer him truthfully even though Blaze and I were only asleep for three hours.I rub the back of my neck nervously while avoiding eye contact and continue “I also kind of requested your brother to stay with me last night because it was late and I was scared. I slept on the bed whilst he occupied the couch” I lie once again and finally after gaining the courage to look at him, I look up and see his frowning face.Please be convinced…“Hmm, maybe I won’t say anything to Blaze. I mean for once he was not being a douche and also he helped you&r
