Facade

Chapter 50

Mia's pov

I woke up with an odd feeling. I opened my eyes and promptly closed it when a ray of sunlight hit my face. Immediately I felt series of sharp pains pierce through my skull. My hands flew straight to my head as if holding it will prevent it from rolling off my shoulders 'cause it sure as hell felt like it. I panted desperately trying to get some oxygen flowing in my lungs. Not that I was deprived or anything, I just had the insane notion that breathing could help reduce the ache pounding between my ears. I was dead wrong. In fact, it seemed to have elevated the pain. I heard a strange sound that reminded me of a dying horse. It took a couple of seconds for me to realize the sound was me groaning. This is worse than I thought. If I stay here, I doubt I'll survive this. With that in mind, I made move to get up from bed. I rolled over to the other side of the bed, intending to swing my legs down, and collided with a hard body. What the hell? I didn't want to open my eyes for fear of the pains ripping them apart. Blondy I reached out letting my finger tips trail the body hoping to get a sense of familiarity. Nope, absolutely no use at all, I concluded when I still didn't recognize the touch. I forced my eyes open, groaning at the pain it caused me. The first thing my mind registered was muscles. Lots of hard, rippling, delicious muscles. Don't ask me how I knew it delicious, I just know. There's no way muscles look like that and not be delicious. Though I feel like shit right now, my teenage hormones recognized a good specimen. I let my eyes roam around the body, taking my fill of rippling flesh before settling on the face. At first all I got was a blank feeling. Then it registered. Carlisle! A gasp escaped my lips before letting a loud scream rip out of my throat.
  Carlisle woke at the sound and rolled into a corner fighting stance. His eyes darted around the room searching for a sign of danger. Apparently realizing there was no danger around, he turned his furious gaze to me. The scream immediately died in my throat as I watched his hungry eyes take up my body. His furious gaze changed to something else entirely. Lust. It was so intense that I found myself responding. I licked my lips hungrily before taking a big gulp. I honestly couldn't decide my feelings. Was it lust? Or fear? Or uncertainty? Or the three together? Besides shouldn't I be worried to find a stranger on my bed? After all I barely know him. All I know about him was his name. Yet I wasn't. Infact his presence gave me comfort. Strange comfort that felt foreign to me. Carlisle must have misinterpreted the look in my eyes as fear. He raised both his arms in front of him tentatively. His eyes gentle, his movements slow but confident.
"Shh! Relax! I won't hurt you" Carlisle said slowly as if speaking to a child. I arched a brow at him confused. Why is he talking like that? Strangely I was confident he won't hurt me. It was an assistance tattooed in my heart. The force of it unbreakable.
"I know you won't hurt me" I found myself replying, my voice barely a whisper. Carlisle looked taken aback for a minute. Obviously that was the last thing he expected me to say. I was also shocked at myself. My brain and body were speaking different languages.
"o-okay... " He said, eyes watching my every move. He looked skeptical about my response. I rolled my eyes at his skeptical look. Sure I had questions to ask but that didn't mean I was gonna be a bitch about it. I huffed and swung my legs to the floor. I pulled myself to stand. It was then the flood of memories stormed my head. I gasped when I remembered Aiden. Tears gathered my eyelids and I blinked to hold them at bay. It was a futile effort as I felt drops of tears rolled down my cheeks. Carlisle seemed to know what I was thinking about. He walked over and sat on the bed. He pulled me to sit on his lap. On a normal day, I would have protested. However with the way my heart was in turmoil, I went willingly into his arms. Without surprise, I found comfort in his arms. And strength.

Carlisle's pov

I sighed for the umpteen time as I held her Mia in my arms. Having her with me with my arms wrapped around her was like a dream come true that I would have been ecstatic about. But given the circumstances, I felt anything but happiness. Bubbling through my veins was anger and fear. Anger that Mia was frightened by Aiden enough to lose consciousness. Fear that she might be taken away from me when I just found her. She gave me a purpose to live, a purpose to work, a purpose to smile. She taught me that I'm capable of love no matter how cold I thought my heart was. I felt extremely possessive over her. From Damian's explanation about Aiden, I knew the guy was unpredictable and pretty unstable. But none of that mattered. No matter how unpredictable or unstable he is, I'm sure as hell not going to let him take Mia to whatever fantasy island he cooks up. No fucking way! Anger bubbled in me and I tightened my arms around Mia inhaling her scent. It instantly calmed my nerves and I smiled to myself as she unconsciously leaned towards me. Her body was relaxed against me and I looked down to see she had fallen asleep.

Drew's pov

I smiled as I watched Felix bite his lip. The action was strangely sexual and I felt it all the way to my groin. The dom in me thought of different uses those lips will be on my body. Damn I wanted him. To Felix, we just met. But I've been following him for weeks and my attraction towards him grew. I never considered myself gay. Nope, I was attracted to women and even banged some. But there was something about Felix that made me want to explore my sexuality. I guess I'm bisexual. I expected to feel repulsed but all I felt was curiosity. I was damn curious about how sex would be with this hunk blushing in front of me. Still deep in thought, I felt my pager beep. I frowned when I looked at the number. Guess I have to cut this meeting short. I smiled at Felix, my eyes apologetic.
"I have to cut this meeting short" I told him. Felix expressed turned disappointed but he tried to cover it. I stood up and took off my name tag. I dropped it on the table along with a hundred dollar bill.
"Make no mistake Felix. You'll be mine and I'll enjoy fucking you senseless." I told him. I caught the blush on his cheeks before leaving. Good.
