♪ You put a spell on me - Austin Giorgio ♪

| Aace |

I knew I fucked up when I felt the taste of her lips on mine. It was a fucking mistake. Nothing more. It was a moment of weakness. She avoided me all day, she didn't even dare to look in my direction.

Does she regret it?

Probably.

We knew it was a bad idea while doing it, yet we stayed glued to each other unable to move and get away. And I understood everything she was telling me with her lips, that she wasn't telling me with words.

Ivory hides so much pain.

And I had this terrible desire to erase it, to kiss it away.

I wanted to be the only demon she had to face.

And I knew it was bad. I knew it was fucked up because she was like the sin I've always wanted to commit. I didn't like kissing women when I fucked them before being married to Ivory, but her. I kissed her before even doing anything. And no matter how crazy, or twisted it was,

I wanted to do it again.

And again. Until there was only our ashes left. Until the passion consumed us completely.

I shouldn't be saying this.

Thinking about this.

But I couldn't help it.

I couldn't forget it.

Her perfume, her taste, the feeling.

Every fucking thing.

Maybe I wanted to make this mistake again? Maybe I wanted to fall again?

It was over. I lost. Now that I touched her, I won't let her slip from my hands. And she ignored it, but she was mine. Fuck everything. No man will touch her again as long as I'm alive.

| Ivory |

I had never kissed a man willingly before. But it didn't feel weird when it happened with him. I mean... I know it was a mistake.

Of course it was.

But for once in my life, I felt understood. I felt calm and rested even if our kiss was everything but that.

And I felt safe.

I knew it couldn't happen again. I should've stepped away, I should've moved. I know it. But I couldn't resist.

And fuck, Aace was an attractive man.

I stayed away from him today because I knew it was better like this. Or I'd make a mistake again. And my gut was telling me he wouldn't complain if I did. It was better like this.

It's healthier.

He's going to break your heart.

I repeated, trying to convince myself. But it didn't seem to work. I needed to be reasonable.

I had to be heartless. Depraved of emotions. Or it will destroy me.

Maybe he was right on that. My heart doesn't work to love. I couldn't love. And if I didn't love, then nobody would break my heart.

And it'll always be like that.

I couldn't allow myself, I couldn't let myself go. Or I'll fall. And it'll be too late.

I couldn't see myself fall. Right?

It was currently one A. M. I should be sleeping, I know it. But his presence next to me was too loud. Like a weight on my shoulders. I heard him blowing out a sigh.

"You're not sleeping are you?" His tone was showing that he wasn't surprised.

"No."

"You should be asleep."

"You too. Why are you still awake?" I used his argument against him.

"I guess I have a random insomnia." He answered truthfully.

"Shit." I whispered.

"Yeah."

For a moment, none of us spoke and it was awkward.

"We need to talk about what happened." He announced.

"What are you talking about?" I decided to play dumb.

"Don't play like you don't know what I'm talking about. Are we going to pretend it didn't happen?"

"I don't know."

He sighed again, "Listen-"

"It was a mistake." I cut him.

He opened his mouth to say something but then closed it again. "Right. You're right. It was a mistake." He muttered, agreeing.

I wanted to add something but I heard the click of our door. And visibly, based on how Aace was looking at me he heard it too. I froze. Someone was inside. Someone who wasn't supposed to be here. Aace reached for his gun in the nightstand, while we heard gunshots outside our room.

"What is-" Aace interrupted me by putting his hand on my mouth, shushing me.

"You're going to be silent and stay here until I'm done with these fuckers. I'm going to open the door and you'll lock it once I'm out. You don't open the door until you hear five knocks on it. Understood?" He wailed at me.

"I'll go with you. You're not going alone." I insisted firmly.

"Hell no. They want you. You stay here and do what I fucking told you to do. Understood?"

I wanted to argue but it was useless. So I nodded. He opened the door and got out and I immediately locked it behind him. He was about to make them pay. It's going to be bloody, I knew it.

I heard fight noises and gunshots. I wanted to terribly go out but I knew he's going to kill me if I did. So I stayed still.

"девушки здесь нет." (The girl's not here.) I heard an unknown masculine voice close to my door.

And then.

A gunshot.

And nothing more.
