Azalea's pov
It's been two weeks since our kiss and... nothing happened.
We made out some times, at late in the evening but otherwise, nothing.
It's December now.
Aidens birthday is tomorrow the second of December and it's a pretty big deal, since him turning 19 means him also getting his inheritance.
Even though his father sounded very threatening, I didn't hear from him again.
C said she'll be able to come back to New Years but unfortunately not Christmas.
But, it is what it is.
Mom is still doing amazing.
And apart from what shady Katie said, Liam is definitely not back.
So the last two weeks were pretty uneventful.
I'm currently on a walk with Theo and Eli.
Eli is growing and growing. It's crazy.
And he's being such a good boy.
He really grew on me, just like on everyone else.
"Do you know what to wear tomorrow?"
Theo asks.
Aidens birthday means there's gonna be a big party.
But it's gonna be a 'rich people' party.
So the dress code is gowns and suits.
I definitely won't complain, because Aiden in a suit is my weakness.
"Yeah I do have a dress. And I'm so excited to wear it! What about you?"
"I have everything ready no worries."
Theo answers but I notice him being a little strange today.
"Hey are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine."
I sigh "and you guys say I'm bad."
I roll my eyes.
"What?" He looks up.
"Bad at lying. But then what are you? A catastrophe?"
He chuckles and I immediately feel better.
"No but seriously. Are you okay Theo? You can talk to me."
He lets out a loaded sigh "I know Az and I love you for it. It's just- today is my sisters birthday."
Oh.
OH.
His sister. As in the sister that passed away.
I vaguely knew about his older sister being dead, but we never talked about it. I feel like Theo isn't comfortable talking about, so that's reason enough not to.
"Oh. Let sit down for a sec." I say and we sit down on a bench that overlooks beautiful field after beautiful field.
"Would you maybe like to talk about it now?"
He doesn't answer for a whole minute, probably debating but then he nods.
And he instantly starts talking.
"I know I've never really talked about this, it's because I actually hate talking about it. But my older sister had a car accident about seven years ago.
I know it's been a while but- I still miss her so much every day.
It's just that, I've never told this to anyone." I smile encouragingly at him.
His secrets are more than safe with me.
"The investigator my parents hired, found that she didn't put her seatbelt on and there're no possible reasons for the accident, considering the environment.
So sometimes I ask myself if she left me behind on purpose. But could she really be that selfish? I mean our life wasn't bad or our childhood, but nowadays I have the feeling, she protected or hid a lot from me. Our parents are toxic no question asked there." His voice gets quieter and quieter the more he speaks and my heart breaks for him.
I try to think of something to say.
I hate seeing Theo hurting.
He continues so he saves me from my struggle.
"I miss her but sometimes I'm mad at her. And then I'm mad at myself for being mad at her. I mean, I don't know how things really were for her." He takes a deep breath "but that's enough for today. I'd rather think about our good memories," he says and I wholeheartedly agree. "I unfortunately can't visit her grave, I'm not really living here after all. But I know she's always with me."
I nod. And then I squeeze him tightly.
"Thanks for trusting me enough to tell me. I would never judge you for anything Theo." While hugging him I remember something. The first night we met on the rooftop of a party he told me about dancing. And how he stopped. I never understood why. I know it's definitely not because of something physical.
"Theo? Does your sister have something to do with you and dancing?"
Theo sighs "yeah, it um does. My sister, her name is Stella by the way, got me into dancing. It was her escape from everything and she wanted me to have that too."
"But don't you think it would make her proud if you continued to dance. Continue what meant so much to her?"
"I know you're right, it's just, it hurts. But I'll try. Someday."
I squeeze him again.
"Let's go back. My balls are freezing off and we can't have that. A lot of people would be devastated."
I chuckle and I can't express how glad I am to have him joking again.
We begin to walk back when we see Katie walking into our direction.
Seriously?
She really is unlucky.
But at least she's smarter than last time. I think just as she opens her dumb mouth.
"Oh hey. It's the slut and the bitch." She says.
Did she just insult Theo? Even though he probably sees it as a compliment.
Eli growls at her.
See? He has amazing instincts. Such a smart boy.
"Yeah it's us." I smile.
And then I punch her square in the face.
Hard.
She shrieks. "You crazy bitch!"
"That was for Aiden you pathetic piece of trash."
Good thing we're not in school right now.
I notice her nose bleeding and it fills me with satisfaction.
My job is done here.
"Come on. Let's go."
We continue walking back home.
"Remind me to never annoy you again." Theo mutters and I snicker.
~
We arrive at home but Aiden is not here.
He also isn't answering his phone.
I try not to worry too much. I mean he's not a child anymore. He can do what he wants.
But it's still strange of him not to at least message me.
I think, just as the door to my room opens and Aiden walks in.
Oh well.
"Lux mea."
"Hey."
He walks straight towards me and kisses me passionately.
I kiss him back without hesitation.
Kissing him feels like heaven.
God I'm addicted to him.
"Are you okay?" I ask him out of breath.
"I'm fine. Just missed you." He kisses my jaw.
Peppering small kisses down to my neck.
I chuckle "I've seen you this morning."
"Still. I wanna be with you every second of the day." I can't contain a moan as he continues kissing my neck.
This man.
"Tell me you missed me." He whispers.
"Of course I missed you."
He backs me up against the wall, and once again covers my mouth with his.
"I love kissing you Azalea. I'm crazy about you. What are you doing to me?" He whispers and I almost don't hear him.
But I do.
And I'm glad to know, I have the same effect on him, as he has on me.
"Is everything ready for tomorrow?" I ask because I have to.
He groans and leans away but he takes my hand and walks me to the bed. Where he lays down and pulls me close to him.
My head resting on his chest.
"Yes everything is ready. I really don't want to Az."
I look up at him.
"Are you okay?"
He nods and looks deeply into my eyes.
I'm transfixed by his eyes.
He smirks.
"I heard you encountered Katie."
I chuckle "yes we did."
"It's really hot of you, to punch her for me." I plant a short kiss on his mouth and then settle on his chest again.
~
It's the next day, which means today is the second of December. And that means it's Aidens birthday.
I look to my right and notice he's still sleeping.
I unconsciously stole all of the blanket in the night.
Oops.
I look down and notice his tented boxers.
Talk about morning wood.
"Morning birthday boy." I kiss his neck, down to his chest, since he's only wearing his boxers.
He wakes up.
"Love." I smile against his chest.
I trail kisses down to his abs.
My hands follow my mouth.
His toned abs. I groan.
They clench as I trail kisses over them.
He's so beautiful.
I slowly put my hand on his waistband and start pulling his boxers down, but he stops me with a hand on mine.
"You don't have to-"
I interrupt him.
"I really want to. I can't wait any longer. I have to taste you Aiden." He groans.
"God, Azalea." I take this as a yes and get his boxers off.
His already hard cock springs free and my eyes widen.
No way I'll be able to fit him into my mouth fully.
Let alone down there. But one after the other.
I kiss his head and he shudders.
Fuck, I love how he reacts to my touch.
I lick off the pre cum and lick him once from base to head.
"Fuck."
I finally take him into my mouth as far as possible. And I put my hands around his base.
Aiden puts his hand in my hair and I let him take me.
I want him to fuck my mouth how he likes it.
I bop my head up and down.
I never really had a gag reflex and I'm damn grateful right now.
"God Az. You're mouth feels like heaven."
I hum, agreeing and he shudders from the vibrations.
I haven't given that many blow jobs, two to be exact, so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing. But I'm just doing what my gut tells me. (And what I read in books).
I pick up my pace when I feel him twitching in my mouth.
He moans and I feel myself dripping in my pants.
I squeeze his base with my hands.
I feel him grow even harder and twitch in my mouth.
"Az I'm gonna-"
I don't pull away. I said I wanted to taste him and I meant it.
He groans as he comes into my mouth. His abs clenching.
His cum fills my mouth and I greedily swallow every last drop.
He's breathing hard but he pulls me up towards him and I release him with a pop sound.
"Fuck Azalea, that was the best birthday present ever." He says just before kissing me hard.
And I grow even wetter when I think about him tasting himself on me.
"Thank you." He whispers. I smile and kiss him one last time before hopping out of bed and making my way over to the bathroom.
~
I walk down the stairs still in my pajamas, because I'll have to change later anyway.
I look down the stairs at the entrance.
The decorations look amazing.
It fits into the vibe of the mansion but it's not too colorful nor too black and white.
"Morning beautiful." I turn around to find Aiden watching me.
I smile and he kisses me on the lips.
"I'm so sorry, but I'm addicted to your lips."
"We have the same problem so it's fine."
He chuckles deeply.
"Hey lovebirds. Today is either gonna end deadly for all of us or in pleasure." He winks.
"Technically I'm turning 19 at 6:25 pm so that should be when everything is gonna get overwritten on me."
Until then are only about seven hours left, but I'm still nervous.
What, when whoever hired the shooter, wants to eliminate Aiden in the last second?
"I know you're worried but you don't need to be. I'll let nothing happen to you." Aiden says.
"I'm not worried about myself Aiden."
"Just don't be. Everything is gonna be fine I promise."
He kisses me one last time and then leaves to do whatever he has to do before the guests arrive.
I try to believe him, but I just can't shake the worry off.
I eat breakfast and start reading a book I wanted to read for a long while, but I just didn't have the time lately.
It's a dream reading in Aidens 'library'.
The hours go over slowly it's 2 pm now.
I go upstairs and start putting some makeup on.
I'm not the best at it, but I love experimenting and I have to admit it turned out great.
But it's still not too much. Which I like.
I simply curl my long brown hair.
Afterwards I put my beautiful dress on.
It's a tight, long, red dress, with a small train behind.
And I'm in love with it.
At last I put on some jewelry.
Completely ready I walk down the stairs and find Aiden and Callan talking in the kitchen.
"Oh hey." I say and both of them turn to look at me.
"Hey Azalea, you look stunning." Callan compliments me and I blush.
Aiden walks towards me grumbling.
He kisses my cheek and whispers into my ear.
"I have to agree. You look gorgeous love."
I smile as I look him up and down, dressed in an all black suit he looks so damn handsome it's almost unfair to every other male at the party later.
"You don't look so bad yourself." I tease him.
He chuckles and I notice I forgot my phone upstairs.
"I'm gonna grab my phone real quick and then see if I can still help with anything."
"Okay love." He kisses my temple and I go upstairs.
Is Theo walking with Eli?
I don't know if-
I stop shortly as I hear rustling coming from my room.
I would shout and see if it's Theo but I'm paranoid so I quietly walk towards my room.
I don't have a weapon but well at least I did self defense for long time.
I step forward just as I feel immense pain in my head and then a second later everything turns black.
~
Ugh.
The fuck?!
My head hurts like hell!
I reluctantly open my eyes.
I'm in my room?
I thought I got kidnapped?
Either my kidnapper is fucking dumb or I'll have to punch someone for this shitty prank.
"Finally you bitch. I didn't even hit you that hard."
I try to speak but my mouth his taped shut.
And my hands are tied to the chair I'm sitting on.
Are you kidding me?!
I look up and my eyes grow wide.
Tristan?
As much as I'd like to contain it I can't stop myself from chuckling.
If there wasn't tape on my mouth I would be having the hardest fit of laughter of my life.
What the in actual hell is this dumb fuck doing here?
"Be quiet bitch!" He hisses.
Does he know any other insults than bitch?
"I'm gonna tell you why I'm here and you're gonna keep your fucking mouth shut bitch."
I roll my eyes. Okay, now it's just embarrassing.
"You're going to walk out of here and never look back you hear me. I have twenty thousand in my pockets, ready for you."
This is because of Mister Torres?
Oh lord.
"If you don't take the chance now you're gonna suffer." He says in a much too dark voice.
I fight hard to not start laughing again.
Did he watch a 'how to sound intimidating' tutorial on YouTube before this?
I wish Chiara was here with me.
That way we would forever have something to laugh about.
What the fuck is Tristan even getting out of this?
God he's so stupid. Aidens gonna look after me in a second.
"I'm gonna let you speak, but if you scream you're out in a second got it?!" I nod, trying not to roll my eyes.
He tears off the tape and...
"Oww!"
"Shut the fuck up!"
Just then the door opens and I let out a sigh of relief but then I quickly breathe it in again.
Damien walks into the room instead of Aiden.
Fuck. Not him!
Where is everyone goddamnit?!
"Thanks for making it easier for me, Tristan I assume?"
"Who the hell are you?" He asks holding a knife to my throat.
Now that's not funny anymore!
Why am I in a room with two psychopaths?
How did it come to this?
Goddamnit!
"You can leave now." Damien states calmly.
"I won't be the one to leave here jerk! You-" Damien pulls out a gun and Tristan grows quiet real quick, meanwhile my eyes grow wide.
Fuck! Now I really don't find it funny anymore.
Tristan reluctantly walks away.
"Fuck off! I don't have all day." And- he's out.
Fucking pussy.
"Hello Azalea. It's good to see you again."
I stay quiet.
"Oh you're disappointing me. Where's your smart mouth?"
"What do you want?"
"Straight to the point. I'm fine with that. We'll have to wait anyways-" he stops as we both hear the engine of Aidens bike.
Where the hell did he go?
Wait.
Fuck he should've stayed away!
No no no.
"Perfect." Damien chuckles and I wanna strangle the fucker.
He puts the tape back on my mouth so I won't be able to warn Aiden!
Fuck.
About two minutes later Aiden walks into my room and he freezes as he sees the situation we're in.
"What the fuck is this?" He grumbles.
He looks at the gun Damien is currently holding to my head and his eyes grow dark.
"Good to see you cousin. I see you are still in a sour mood. Too bad."
"Let Azalea go. We can work this out between us two."
Damien laughs.
And I shudder. He admittedly is good at this whole bad guy thing.
"Oh but it's so funny with her here as your leverage."
I'm being held as leverage? Damn my life really did go downhill.
"I'm making this short because I know your guests are about to arrive any minute. In..." he looks at his watch "...exactly seven minutes grandma's inheritance is all yours so you'll be able to transmit everything to me. Just like it's supposed to be."
"Like it's supposed to be? You know exactly why you aren't supposed to get any of the inheritance. Because you're a piece of shit! Just like your father."
Damien pushes the gun hard against my head and I hiss.
"Don't talk about my father."
Aiden takes a step forwards as he looks at me. His jaw clenched so hard, I'm surprised his teeth aren't falling out.
"Don't move or I'm gonna blow her brains out."
I don't think he's able to, but I for sure won't take the risk.
"You won't fucking touch her." Aiden hisses.
"Oh yes?" Damien takes my jaw in his hand and squeezes. He rips the tape off, and fuck it hurts again. He then puts his fingers on my mouth and forces it open. "I wonder what this mouth can do. I bet it would look amazing around my cock." I almost gag. In your dreams, you disgusting perv.
"Don't fucking touch her." Aiden takes another step forward and Damien let's off the safety. I suck in a breath.
Holy shit! Holy shit!
I really don't wanna die.
Especially not because of a fucking piece of garbage.
Oh god, please not.
I don't even know if mom will be able to live on her own!
I haven't seen C in person, in what feels like forever.
And I still haven't fucked Aiden Torres!!!
The next thing I know Theo walks into the room and everything goes still.
"Is this some kind of joke? What's the hot but dumb cousin doing here?"
If there wasn't a gun being held to my head right now, I would probably laugh.
I think some guests arrived. Because there's talking downstairs.
"Fuck!" Damien rages.
He hits the side of my head once again hard with his gun and shit, my head doesn't feel good.
I really don't wanna pass out.
"I said don't fucking touch her! Aiden rages and takes more steps towards us. Not caring about what's gonna happen with him.
My eyes grow wide when Damien aims the gun at Aiden.
"Aiden stop!" I try to say but he doesn't.
"Don't fucking move!" Damien hisses.
"Hey put the fucking gun away!" Theo shouts. Callan Enters the room and shouts something but then everything goes to hell as Damien pulls the trigger, gun still aimed at Aiden.
"NO!" I shout.
