Chapter 30
I was in my room at my mum’s place when a knock suddenly landed on my door.
“Thea….” I heard the voice call and I sighed not being happy about who was behind my door. I took the sheets off my body and climbed down my bed to get the door.
“Hey….” Came Scott’s voice, a hand at the frame of my bedroom door and his eyes gazing with need. I looked away from him and strode back into my room while he followed suit shutting the door behind him.
“What do you want?” I asked, my tone obvious that I wasn’t happy with him around.
“How long do you plan to lock yourself in here?” He asked seeming concerned but I said nothing and just stared at him. It had been two weeks since I left the club, I was still recovering from the trauma of the abuse I experienced. I didn’t have a tough skin for the dangers that came with being a stripper I just loved the sexual benefits.
“I just came to check on you… Is that bad of me to do?” Scott said when I didn’t reply to his first question. I exhaled deeply and paced about the room before halting my steps to face him.
“Scott you know me and I won’t coat my tongue saying how I feel.” I said and his brow creased. He looked at me with an expression that said I had his full attention.
“Tell me … How do you feel?”
“I just came out of a terrible situation at the club and I feel horrible, very horrible that no one has to pay for the way I was treated. Still somehow,” I sighed and continued. ” Somehow being around you still gives me sexual urges.” His eyes sparked with relieve as if my words were exactly what he needed to hear.
“So what’s the problem?” He asked moving closer to me.
” Stop!” I said trying to mean my words but he wasn’t listening and kept coming till his figure towered above me. My breath became unsteady as my body began to react to him. His fingers tilted my head giving him access to my neck and I didn’t resist when he leaned forward and pressed a kiss on my sensitive spot causing me to moan. He paused as if waiting for my protest and when it didn’t come his plump sweet lips sucked on it causing my toes to curl and my hands to retaliate by pushing him away.
I needed to get in my right sense, I promised myself never to do this again with him, even though the truth about my mum’s affair made me feel tempted to continue my affair with Scott.
I looked at Scott after pushing him away and he was shocked. His act of seduction always worked on me coupled with the fact that I was always a horny freak. I had not had sex in two weeks this had to be the longest I had gone in my entire sexual life. My body did ache a lot for a man’s touch and it was almost unbearable each time Scott came close to me but I had managed to keep my cool satisfying myself by thinking about Angel. It shocked me that I could orgasm at a sitting by just thinking about Angel even without touching myself. It was so strange and scary. Scott used to have a massive effect on me but his son had become both my addiction and cure.
“You’ve changed Thea, what really happened to you?” I walked past Scott to give us a decent space between each other.
“Can’t you tell? I’m trying to respect your marriage with my mother and yes for your curiousity I am avoiding you like a plague.” I confessed and he chuckled.
” So how long do you think you can go resisting me?” His persistent steps continued till he was close to me again.
I exhaled deeply to calm my nerves. “As long as I can and till I leave this house. You are not welcomed in my room.” I said waving my hand to the door ushering him out. He still looked shocked at my boldness and his lips parted as if to say something but he decided not to and head for the door but when he opened it my mum was standing right outside.
My heart leaped fearing she must have heard everything since the door wasn’t completely closed.
“There you are my love. I was wondering where you were at.” She said kissing him on the lip before entering my room. I scoffed at the two shaking my head slightly.
“I was just trying to talk her out of her room.” Scott said to her and my mum smiled acknowledging his effort.
Trying to talk me out of my room? Really? Or trying to fuck me out of it?
My mum hugged me having that concerned look since I came here. I told her I was fine before she could even ask it .
“Someone is here to see you.” She revealed feeling uncertain about how I’d feel. I blinked knowing I didn’t have any friends who would want to come around. “It is your step brother, Angel.” She said and my heart skipped a beat.
“Angel?” She nodded.
“He is waiting downstairs. I had no idea you two were getting along already after our last dinner.” My mum said excited, if only she knew. I nodded affirming what she said if that would make her happy.
“I’ll be down in a minute.” I said dismissing them both. Once they left I tried to catch my breath. I thought he didn’t care so why was he here? He never contacted me after I got beaten up and was absent for a week and it took two whole weeks after my night with sparrow for him to come. So little for wanting to make me his. I didn’t really get why I was pissed or feeling entitled I obviously didn’t want to be owned by anybody.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
I left my room gathering the courage to face him. Even though I was pissed I still felt nervous meeting him.
I got to the stairs leading down the living room and I minded my steps not wanting to drag attention. I saw two bodyguards that were obviously Angel’s men, they were hefty and even though their back was against me I could tell that they looked scary in front as well. My eyes fixed on Angel as he sat on the couch with armspread, his aura emitting power and danger.
I swallowed hard as my heart started beating loud against my chest, my feet felt weak and the anger I felt towards him dissipated. I sighed frustrated, losing all the courage to face him, so I turned my back making my way to the room I was going to tell my mum I didn’t want to see or talk to anybody. Even if he was a mafia boss he couldn’t probably drag me out of my room when it wasn’t his house.
“Thea!” I gasped and paused hearing Angel’s voice. I shut my eyes feeling embarrased knowing he had caught me trying to tip-toe to my room. I turned around to face him and he stood there in all his dominance, the mere sight of him seizing my breath and yet the look on his face sending chills of fear over my body.
I feigned boldness and walked down the stairs.
“You came.” I said and bit my inner lip regretting the way it came out. I had just exposed myself that I had been longing to see him. His expression was blank.
“I was worried.”
I blinked twice surprised at what he said but I tried to act unfazed. “About?”
“You haven’t been to the club for sometime.”
” And?” I asked trying to get to the root of it.
He smiled and it sent chills running through my body. I didn’t want to admit it earlier but after our very hot and steamy night seeing him now, he looked more alluring than ever. I wondered how he got this handsome overnight. I knew he was a tremendously good looking man, hot and sexy yet in a dangerous way but all this were on a hightened level seeing him now. My heart kept fluttering, I wanted to run away to catch my breath.
“Let’s have a walk, we can talk better.”
” I don’t want to, you can go back to where you came from as you can see I’m doing great here.” I said bluntly not caring if my words annoyed him and I made to leave but his guards blocked me giving me a death stare which shook fear to my core. I shouldn’t be scared this was my mum’s place as well as Scott’s what could Angel do to harm me here? I heard him walking towards me and it made me quiver slightly. His scent filled my nostrils a lot more as he stood behind me with his hands gently placed on my shoulder.
“That wasn’t a request Thea….” He whispered behind me. I turned slowly to face him and he was smiling darkly at me.
“You can’t possibly be threatening me here.” He cocked his head and smiled suggestively. I clutched my dress behind me. The guts he had. I decided to follow him, there was no harm in talking.
He led me outside where our large garden was. He stretched out his hand for me to take as I climbed down the stairs leading to the garden. I felt uneasy but took it. We walked through the huge flower tunnel that led to the main garden that was large and very beautiful. I called it a flower tunnel because it was a wall built in a tunnel manner and having flowers cover it entirely.
Angel pulled a chair out for me at and I eyed him suspiciously. Why was he being gentle? The look on his face was coy though. I wasn’t going to get deceived. He was a more dangerous kind of man of he could act this way. At least sparrow was plain and straight forward with what he could do but Angel was unpredictable.
He sat across me and shortly the maids arrived with a drink which they poured for us.
“What is so important that you had to bring me out here to talk about?” I asked sternly ignoring his drink which he cheered to me. He chuckled at my stubbornness and sipped his drink instead.
“I want you to come back to the club.” He said plainly. I let out a silent laugh. What right did he have to ask that of me, oh wait! Of course he wasn’t asking since the mafia took things they couldn’t have by force.
“No and thanks I don’t want to.” I said sounding pissed. He obviously knew what happened and wouldn’t even ask how I was faring yet he had the nerves to ask me to return to the club.
“You might want to reconsider.” He said looking displeased. I didn’t care if he didn’t fancy my answer but no one was going to force me back into that hell hole of a club.
“Forget it I’m not going back.” I said and made to stand up to leave
” I’ll protect you.” His voice came again stopping me from moving. I turned my head sharply towards him glaring even though his eyes were fixed on his drink and he couldn’t see it. I shook my head slightly and moved away but his annoying guards were standing at the entrance of the flower tunnel and I sensed they were going to stop me if I tried to move past them and they did.
“What is wrong with you? This is my stepfather’s house and my mum’s. You have no right to stop me!” I scolded but they didn’t seem fazed by it they didn’t even blink. My words were nothing to them.
“Save your strength. They won’t listen to you.” Angel said and I could feel him coming close until he stood at my back. “I heard what happened.” He started in a soft and low voice, his fingers moving to my shoulder. His touch tickled me and I shook slightly at the effect.
“You are not picking Calvin’s calls nor returning his messages.” He continued, his fingers moving my dress slowly down my shoulder. His touch had an effect on me and I loved it. Calvin had wanted me to return promising things he couldn’t fulfil. “Come back Thea. ” Angel whispered behind me kissing my shoulder.
“I-I don’t want to.” I managed to whisper back trying not to moan at his kisses. He cocked my neck and sucked so gently on it and a moan escaped my lips.
“If you don’t, sparrow will hunt you down because he wants you as much as I do and knowing sparrow, he is not as civil as I am.” I shuddered shutting my eye at the revelation. What had I gotten myself into? “I can only protect what’s mine. When sparrow gets to you I can promise you hell with him except you come into my camp.” Angel said kissing me one last time in my neck and shoulder. He pulled my dress up and walked out with his guards following right behind him.
I sighed sharply, my legs feeling weak. Everything was happening so fast and none of it was within my control. I guess the saying ‘be careful what you ask for’ was playing out right in front of me. I wanted the VIP ticket and when I got it, it wasn’t what I expected.
