Resisting him Chapter 22
“Take a deep breath, man. Pierre muttered when we arrived at Lawrence Manor. Our hands were clasped over the console, and I looked up at him, fear evident in my eyes. Pierre's dark eyes bored into mine. - I will be with you. And my idiot brother too. I managed a small smile, unbuckling my seat belt and getting out of the car. Pierre grimaced, but soon replaced it with a blank look I already recognized. And he hated it. As we walked to the house, a scene that looked like something out of a movie greeted us. Marta and Shelly were laughing and drinking wine, and a part of me wondered who in their right mind would drink wine at 11 am. They were all fake laughs, no doubt, sizing each other up. A high-pitched laugh snapped me out of my reverie. I wanted to run out the door I'd just walked through. — Ciao, mama. Pierre greeted and the eyes of the two women went up to us. Shelly assessed Pierre and under her icy gaze I squirmed. I had to admit, she looked fine. She was impeccably dressed i

Pierre's past? I looked at Adrian curiously, waiting for him to say something. Anything. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious about Pierre's past. I was wondering. - AND? “I requested when he refused to say anything. We got in the car and Adrian started driving while I waited for answers. Adrian shot me an irritated look at my insistence. “I can't tell you, Jenny. Pierre would kill me if he knew. I shook my head. We drove in silence until Adrian spoke again. "So... You know Dylan, right?" I raised my eyebrows. “Yes, he works across from my cafe. What about him? - He is gay. - Adrian stated. - I know. I replied quickly, not knowing where this was going. “And…” Adrian stopped before continuing. “He asked me out. He finished quietly. - Which? Adrian took a deep breath before repeating the phrase. Louder this time. “He asked me out. Oh my. Other? - Which?! I exclaimed, surprised. 'How did he know?' Since Adrian said he was gay, he was the one who usually asked guys out. T

Adrian shook his head at me, taking my hand and pulling me with him. The house was locked and Adrian went around, taking the key from under a rock. I raised my eyebrows as he opened the door. The smell of dust greeted us. This place looked like it hadn't been used in years. All the furniture was covered in dust and only a few pictures remained on the wall. I immediately made my way to them. Adrian started to say something about the construction, but I didn't have an ear for him. I was ashamed to admit it, but I was more interested in finding out what Pierre was like when he was young. I looked at a family photo that was taken outside the house, overlooking the lake. Mr. Lawrence looked proudly at the family as Pierre and Adrian dropped to their knees for Marie. I felt Adrian stand beside me, then a laugh escaped his lips. “Oh, I remember that. He laughed softly, as if reliving the memory. I turned to look at him. - AND? “Pierre and I were fighting over Mom. We always did. So my f

Insomnia? I looked at Pierre in shock, swallowing. I was speechless. What do you say when someone tells you they have insomnia? Laughing at him wasn't really an option, nor was asking if he was okay, I guess. “Uh…” I stuttered. - I need to go. Without waiting for him to respond, I fled to the bedroom. I was a coward, I know that, but I wouldn't be able to say anything. And I was an expert at getting away. The first thing I did when I got to mine was grab my laptop and type insomnia into the search box. “Insomnia is a sleep disorder where there is an inability to fall asleep or stay asleep for a long time. While the term is sometimes used to describe a disorder demonstrated by polysomnographic evidence of disturbed sleep, this sleep disorder is often practically defined as a positive response..." “You could have just asked me to tell you what insomnia is. I jumped when I heard Pierre's voice behind me. I turned around with my hand over my heart, and looked at him, stunned. Damn i
Resisting him Chapter 26
I moaned as his tongue found mine, dominating me. I wasn't an easily dominated person, but somehow with Pierre I liked to lose control. He made me want to lose control. He made me want him like I've never wanted anyone in my life. — Oh… Pierre. I said as his lips descended to my neck, making me arch my back, wanting him to take me completely. He nibbled my neck, sucking on it, making me lose the last shreds of self-control I had. My hands worked to unbutton his shirt, and I spread my palm across his chest, feeling the contours of his muscles. I traced a finger around his nipple, eliciting a moan from him. He flipped me over, causing my laptop to fall to the floor. I looked up in surprise, wanting to yell at Pierre. My notebook! Pierre didn't give me a chance to talk as his lips found mine again. “I'll buy you a new one. he whispered against my lips, and before I could protest, he kissed me in a punishing rhythm. I sucked in a breath as he left my mouth, making him smile at me. Pi
Resisting him Chapter 27
Pierre looked at me, stunned. - Are you sure? I shook my head. “I can't let anything happen to them, they're my parents. Pierre gently wiped away the tears and kissed my forehead. “Are you doing this just because of the threats, Jennifer? Don't let them get to you. “Can't you see what's going on here? “I almost yelled at him. “I don't want to become a stupid heiress just because I was born to them. I don't want the damn money! But they own one of the biggest companies in England and Frederich has been named lord! If he says he's going to destroy my parents, he will! By the end of my speech, I was exhausted and sobbing. Pierre didn't say anything, pulling me into his arms and letting me cry. Most. Suddenly he stood up with me still in his arms. He set me down, my hands instantly reaching out to touch his arms because I felt my feet shaky. “Go clean up, we're going out. I grimaced. - Where? Pierre gave me a dark look. “Just go get cleaned up, Jennifer. And don't w
Resisting him Chapter 28
My breath hitched. My heart felt like it was ready to jump out of my rib cage. I smiled, and I knew I probably looked like the goofiest person in town. Pierre's eyes lit up and he smiled at me. Not one of his infamous smiles or his "I have a secret." Before I could say anything, though, Pierre's phone rang and he turned his attention to it. — Adrian. - He greeted. "Yeah, she's with me.... We're on the way to Dad's office... What?... Alright... Yeah... Do you want me to tell her?... Better Adrian .Even though I hadn't heard the entire conversation, I recognized Pierre's frustrated tone at the end. We weren't going to see Adrian. He was busy again. I grabbed my phone and just as I was about to call Adrian, Pierre spoke up. — Jennifer. His voice was soft, as if he were talking to a cornered animal that would attack him at any moment. “Adrian has to attend a council meeting. Let's join you for dinner, all right? I shrugged, not wanting to answer. In the midst of all this
Resisting him Chapter 29
The people who seem the strongest are usually the most broken. I knew how hard it was to lose someone you love. When I looked into Pierre's face, my heart broke. Pierre held my hand tightly, tears streaming down his face. I wanted to break. But I knew I couldn't. I had to be strong for both of us. I just held his hand in silence, offering the solace and comfort of knowing someone was with him. When we're looking for comfort, most of us don't look for someone to ask us what's wrong. We don't want sympathy, we don't want pity, we don't want regret. We don't want that constant "are you okay?" and most importantly, we don't want someone to give us false security. We seek comfort in simple physical contact. We just want reassurance that we have someone to support us and not someone who is going to question and judge us at our every move. And now I knew that was exactly what Pierre wanted. I couldn't ask him what was wrong, it was right in front of me. I couldn't tell you th
