God of Strength (Light of Obsession #1)

Chapter 22

Alicia

     Well... that was something. I suppose it could've gone worse, daddy could've shot Vaughn so.

     I pet my childhood cat, Mochi, as I lie on my bed. Vaughn went to a hotel to spend the night, daddy didn't allow him to stay.

     "Oh, Vaughn, honey, why don't you stay tonight? We have an extra bedroom." Mum asks with a polite smile.

      Without even giving Vaughn a chance, daddy pipes in with an angry stare.

     "Absolutely not." He says.

     "Aiden, don't be rude." Mum scolds.

     "No. He's not staying in my house." Daddy replies sternly.

     Yeah, so, daddy's not Vaughns biggest fan but that's alright. Nothing I didn't expect.

As I lay there with Mochi purring softly against my side, I couldn't shake off the weight of the evening's events. My heart felt heavy, caught in the space between my father's protective nature and Vaughn's equally protective behavior. Vaughn was sweet; he had an intensity that I often found captivating, but there was also a darkness that lurked beneath the surface.

I shifted on my bed, careful not to disturb Mochi. Maybe things would cool down tomorrow. Maybe Daddy would realize I could handle my own decisions when it came to Vaughn. Maybe I'd be able to convince him.

Just as the bundle of worry began to loosen its grip, I heard a noise coming from my window. It was a soft scratching, almost like a branch tapping against the glass. My pulse quickened, and I sat up, peering into the darkened room, half-expecting an intruder.

Then I saw him. Vaughn.

He really needs to start notifying me before he pops up in places.

He was crouched outside my window, a shadow cloaked in the night. My breath caught in my throat as he slowly pushed the window open, the slight creak echoing loudly in the stillness.

"Kukolka," he whispered, his voice soft but urgent, like he was afraid to break the fragile silence that hung in the air. His eyes gleamed as they met mine, seeking something—any sign of understanding, of acceptance.

"What are you doing?" I asked, my heart racing. While a part of me thrilled at the sight of him, another part screamed at me to push him away. This wasn't right.

"I wanted to see you, did you really think I wouldn't come over?" he whispered, stepping closer, his hands gripping the windowsill as if it were a lifeline. His expression a mixture of desperation and devotion. "I just wanted to see you. I need you to know that I would do anything for you."

I felt a shiver run down my spine as I stared at him, torn between the safe warmth of my home and the unsettling thrill of his obsession. Part of me longed to lean into his intensity; it felt intoxicating, albeit frightening. But the more rational part was reminding me of the boundaries that were blurry at best.

"Vaughn, please. You have to go. What if my dad sees you?" I urged, glancing anxiously toward my door, half-expecting to hear his heavy footsteps thumping up the staircase.

"He won't because I'm hidden in your room." He says, placing a kiss to my cheek.

"Oh, fine... but we have to be quiet." I insist, which elicits an amused laugh from him.

——Meanwhile, in the RES dilf gc——

Aiden: It happened.

Ronan: huh?

Levi: Did you get into your cat's medicine?

Aiden: Fuck off. Some cockroach stole my precious angel.

Levi: i fucking told you it would happen one day. First it was me, then Xander, now you.

Xander: I still hate the lizard

Cole: liar, you went out to lunch with him like two days ago.

Xander: only because Green made me, it was not my choice

Aiden: I interrogated Eli and Creighton earlier, apparently this Vaughn boy Alicia is dating is friends with both Jeremy and Killian, and that Nikolai boy that Brandon is dating.

Ronan: Is this friend group just out to get our kids? who's next?

Cole: They're staying far far away from mine.
See, Aiden, this karma for stealing Butterfly's first dance.

Aiden: I will crack your skull like a walnut

Ronan: Y'all need to chill, your daughters are 19 and up. They can make their own choices and have boyfriends

Levi: Just because your child is a slut doesn't mean our are

Ronan: Remi is not a slut! He's just like me

Xander: So, a slut

Ronan: Fuck you, I hope Cecily stays with the lizard

Aiden: Knight is right

Ronan: Well, I also hope Alicia stays with the Vaughn boy

Aiden: You're dead next time I see you, Astor

Cole: I wish I were there. Could not miss your face when she told you

Levi: I second that

Aiden: It took all the willpower in my body to not snap his head off his neck

Ronan: That boy has such a kind father in law, so lucky

Aiden: You're really testing me

Xander: Green's calling, see ya

Cole: whipped

Ronan: saying that as if you don't kiss the ground Silver walks on

Cole: Shut the fuck up, i'm leaving

Levi: You do the same with Teal

Ronan: Yes and I feel no shame in admitting it

Aiden: You're all idiots.
