Tarnished Love by Bianca Borell
CHLOE
Sometime in this week I must have drifted to la-la land. I gave in, because I am curious or a glutton for punishment, they are interchangeable regarding Filip. I want him to open up, now he will. This doesn’t mean I will forgive him and play happy house again. His phone keeps vibrating on the nightstand and when he answers, Damien’s voice blares through the room.
“One week before my wedding you decide to take a vacation. You couldn’t have waited one more fucking week?”
He ends the call, flipping it as it hits the nightstand.
“Damien seems mad.”
“He’s the CEO, it’s his job, but he’s a prick because it means less time with my sister.” He grins, that one that melts everything inside of me, and I remember how dangerous he is. I scramble off the bed and take a shower. My skin prickles when the lukewarm water hits my skin, but it’s my wake-up call. I keep the door open while I feel his eyes on me, and the surge of power electrifies me. I parade naked in front of him while I pass the bed.
“You are one cruel woman, Chloe.”
“Hm, never crossed my mind.” I play with him, the lines getting blurrier by the minute.
“We’ll see how you like it when I tease you.”
“If you ever get the chance, you can always try.” He smirks while I bend from my waist, my backside to him, and he hisses, as if he’s in pain. He groans and cups his cock. I love tormenting him. I slip into a minuscule pair of black shorts and a crop top.
“I’ll be downstairs.”
“I am hungry.” His heated eyes take in every inch of my skin, and I clear my throat.
“Have you forgotten where the fridge is?”
“Fine,” he mumbles as he drags on a pair of slacks and a shirt.
The cereal breaks me. Love is stupid and forgiving because I have no idea how to stay away from him. Milk spots gather in the corners of his lips, those lips I want on me, and I dab it away.
“Stop torturing me, please. I am weak when it comes to you.” He closes his eyes for a second, and it’s the desperation in his voice that has me backing off. While he tries getting me back, is it possible I hurt his confidence?
