CRYSTAL"I don't know why you keep going back there. Just get a fucking job or something to keep yourself busy. Take a cooking class or start knitting, that's something," John whines later on, mumbling to himself when he clearly knows I can hear him.My listening abilities now feel like a curse.His whines are giving me such a headache that I want to jump down from the car right now, not caring if it's still moving or not.I'll survive the crash and even heal while I'm at it. It'll be like nothing ever happened."What did you go there for this time, huh? After pushing me off like I'm some stranger, you go to a party?" he scoffed, rolling his eyes."She just threw a party to announce her pregnancy," I say."She's having a baby?" he scoffs. "What does she even know about that? Isn't Mike some struggling teenager?"I snap my head to him, "Mike works at a bank and Simone is the head of the marketing team at a big company and he's not some teenager. He's the same age as you.""Wow! Look at
SILVER-We should go back there. Astro says gently and I stare hard at the glass, building up her image in my head.-I don't feel comfortable leaving her there.Of course you don't. I couldn't agree more.-You think he's bad news too, right?Yes, yes.-No one should know how good our mate moans and how sweet she tastes.…I like that we agree on that.I'm picking up my glass of wine with a smile, thinking how my beast and I are one and the same."Penny for your thoughts, dear?" my mother asks, drawing my attention back on the table. "What is it?" her curiosity grows stronger and I know she's not dropping it till she gets an earful."Thinking about the wedding," I shrug."Ouh!" she's smiling and sitting up straight, wiping her mouth with a napkin. "I never thought I'd see the day you'll bring up a wedding first."I turn to her, "Even after you set me up for this?"She rolls her eyes, "Don’t be dramatic, my love. I foresaw your stubbornness and I saved you from ending up alone by thirty
CRYSTAL"Where.. He is right now," I repeat the words with a nervous beat of my heart as I search Silver's face. Why would he ask me that?Did he go to the house first and saw John leave or was he insinuating that John wasn't home right now-"I wonder… if you know," Silver continues with his detective eye putting me on guard. "You know, don't you?"John… not home… I know?Is he… is he referring to that?My eyes are going wide and I stare with every fibre of my being in shock of his words. I suddenly feel like shrinking and disappearing into the ground.His eyes study my face and I try my hardest not to look suspicious when in fact, I want to bury my head somewhere and never show my face ever again."Really? That's surprising, Crystal," he sighs. "You don't look so good playing the fool," he rolls his eyes and a wave of irritation surges through me.He snooped around, didn't he? He followed us and tried to find a weakness in my marriage to use against me -- How shallow of him! If he th
CRYSTALMy hands trembled with the phone in my ear as every part of me was expecting his reply.The background is quiet and it keeps me on my toes as I listen for any sound-John sighs and calmly says, "Crystal, why are you asking me this? We literally got home together and you saw your sister off. I'm waiting for you over here. Can you please, hurry back?"His words fill me with relief, more than I ever knew. I look at Silver whose face doesn't change from the straight one with his tightly shut lips."Okay, I'll be home soon. I love you," I hang up, tucking the phone back in my pocket with a calming heart. This time when I glare at Silver, I do it with my full chest."Don't ever compare my husband to a dog, ever again!" I warn. "He is nothing like you-"But his smirk shuts me up. Even after I just proved John's innocence, he's smirking like he won.Unless his plan was to draw the reaction out of me. Which woman would feel so relieved that their husband was at home by this time of the
CRYSTAL'Something came up. I'll be staying over at Doc. Choi's tonight. Have fun.' I sent the text and put my phone away before looking out the window.I'm in Silver's car and the whole place smells like him. His scent is soft and soothing in the air. He's releasing his scent and I wonder if he's doing it for me.One glance at him and I see he's focusing on the road. Maybe it's a habit of his.I can't bring myself to tell him to stop because it's keeping me calm and sane. Besides, he's the drug I need for my health right now.My body shivers due to the A/C and I rub my arms due to the cold. As soon as I did that, I saw his hand move from the corner of my eyes and he turned off the A/C.I quickly put down my arm though it's too late. He already noticed that. I feel strange now that he's seen certain sides of me.At least now, he must be having a blast knowing that John is a dog-- "How did you find out?"I'd take him laughing out loud and in my face than the silence he's putting up. It'
SILVERWhy won't she give in? Why is she still hanging onto him even after the solid proof of his infidelity?She knows, has always known yet she chose to act the fool like that will change him.Her eyes are closed as she kisses me back, rocking her hips back and forth over my hard crotch. Her arms are going round my neck, pressing me even closer.She tastes better than she smells. Her lips are warm and quivering softly, a little shudder escapes from her lips and my hand on her loosens.I let her take the load, enjoying how she's so into it, wanting to sink into me like it's where she belongs. She can be in denial all she wants but I know she craves me just as much as I crave her.How can I let you go when I taste the silent plea in your kiss? "Your tears only say one thing to me and your eyes beg me to not let you go," I mumble into her lips as she shivers, pushing her face into mine with her eyes closed."Look at me, Crystal," she shakes her head, tears rolling down her cheek. "Ope
CRYSTAL"Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?" Simone wondered as she rushed down the stairs to welcome me in her open arms.Mike is beside her and I see the minute he sniffs the air, his brows knit in confusion and his eyes fall on me. I quickly look away, hugging Simone and wearing a smile."It doesn't matter. You're welcome anytime," she smiles and ushers me in. "Now that you're here, we can look at baby names all night and you can tell me how strong Mike's genes are."I made the right choice coming here. At least, I can try to push the events of the night out of my head. First, I'm sure I smell like Silver's pheromones, I should do something about that.I've never wanted Mike to be human as badly as I do right now. He's quick to catch on to something.I excuse myself from Simone to freshen up and I hurry to the guest room where, once I shut the door, I'm enveloped by my thoughts again.The headache returns and even doubles this time. All I can think of is all his business trips
SILVER"We don't even have a date yet," James says, looking up from the invite list he was supposed to have submitted by now. "We can’t send out invitation cards without a date."I'm not dumb. Of course I know that but at the moment, there's too much on my mind. It's either I'm thinking of my mate or thinking of my mate naked. I can't seem to focus on one.Marrying Ruby is the last thing I want for myself. No offence to the young woman but I can't imagine picking her over my mate.I got to say, my pops and the moon goddess really looked out for me when they made this deal. I used to hate it, thinking I'd just get married out of duty and respect for my Pops. When I heard the news that Crystal ran away from home with some other man, I didn't feel a thing so I shrugged and accepted it when Ruby was to replace her."I should've set my foot down, hmm," I fold my arms and throw my head back on the couch of my living room."Set what foot down?" Mike asks. "Isn't your foot always on our necks?
