I planned to leave as soon as Darius fucked me. I had it all mapped out in my head for the first five seconds but almost as if he knew what I was planning, he seemed determined to ruin it. For starters, he made me cum over and over again until I was begging him to stop and passed out from the pleasure. When I woke up a few seconds later, I was too tired to stand and instead of doing the right thing and sending me away, he cleaned me up and tucked me into his bed.
I didn't wake up until early the next morning when the dawn was just breaking. I tried to move but I realized there was a heavy arm slung around my waist. Darius was cuddled up behind me with his legs entangled in mine. I tried to move but instead, I ended up brushing against his dick. I held my breath hoping he hadn't woken up but I should have known luck was not in my favor.
"This is a good way to wake up," his voice was huskier in the mornings and I had to squeeze my thighs shut.
It didn't matter that he fucked me nearly senseless last night, I was always ready for him and it certainly was not helping matters that his dick was nestled between my thighs and we were both naked. His hands began to roam on my skin and I knew that if I didn't get out of bed at that exact moment, I was going to end up having sex with
him again.
"I need to leave," I tried to keep my voice firm.
We both knew that I was one wrong move away from a bad decision but to my shock, he pulled away from me and allowed me to escape his hold. I looked everywhere but I could not find my clothes. Darius made no move to help me, he just sat up on the bed and watched me with amusement as I scrambled for my clothes. After a while, I gave up and grabbed his shirt that was lying on the chair.
I pulled it over my head and just as I was about to leave, he spoke up. "You can avoid this for as long as you want Leindra but you know as well as I do that you belong to me. You can run but you will always come back to where you belong."
"I don't belong anywhere."
Before he could respond, I rushed out of the room. I was trying to sneak into my room when I bumped into someone. I would have fallen on my ass if not for the person reaching out to grab me and keep me in place. As soon as their hands touched my body, I knew it was Ian. I muttered a curse under my breath because he was the one always finding me in awkward positions.
"I want to ask but I'm afraid I already know the answer," he began and I didn't need to look at him to know he was smiling. I tried to walk past but he grabbed my upper arm keeping me in place. "You should give the poor man a chance, Leindra. He is head over fucking heels for you and you're the only one who can't see that."
"It's not that simple, Ian."
"Yes it is." He ran his hand through his hair in frustration. "You are the only person making this more complicated than it needs to be. He wants you and you want him too. What is the problem?"
"Want isn't enough."
He scoffed. "You do you, Leindra. I don't know why I bother anymore."
He walked into Darius' room, leaving me in complete silence.
After that encounter with Ian, I didn't leave my room. I was pondering over Ian's words and wondering if truly I was the one making things complicated. It wasn't that I didn't want to accept Darius it was that I didn't know how. He had told me repeatedly that he didn't want me for the curse but he was yet to show it. All his actions could read as someone who needed me alive. I had yet to see anything that showed that he wanted me for me.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice anyone open my door until Amy cleared her throat. I nearly jumped and she had to put out her hands to calm me down. I was confused that she was in my room and it was made worse when I noticed her with some makeup items and a curler in her hands.
"What are you doing?" I asked as she settled herself into the room and began spreading them on the vanity.
"I know you have your own but I prefer working with my products. The skin tone difference isn't so bad that it would be noticeable. Although I may have to use your foundation because-"
"Amy," I snapped and she turned to me. "Why are you here? What is this about?" "Darius asked me to get you ready."
My brows disappeared behind my hairline. "Ready for what?"
"I can't say much but all I know is that he is taking you out on a date."

"I wasn't asked. You don't just demand that someone goes on a date with you. I don't know how this works with you guys but it doesn't work like that here."
She stared at me for a second before laughing humorlessly.
"If he asked would you have said yes?" I didn't need to respond, we both knew my answer. "If you don't give him a chance then how do you expect to be happy with him? I don't get you sometimes, Leindra. If you're so pissed that he didn't ask then allow me to ask on his behalf."
"It's not about that."
"Then what is it about?" she asked but I stayed silent. I didn't know how to explain it. "Look, if you don't want my help then that's fine, I'm not going to force it on you but I think you're just doing a little too much right now. At least give it a chance and know that it isn't what you want."
I was shocked that Amy of all people was saying that. I tried to think back on my actions and the way I had behaved regarding Darius. In one day, two people told me to give him a chance. If it were a complete stranger then I may have ignored them but I trusted Ian and Amy and I knew that they were just trying to look out for me. There was a long stretch of silence and finally, I sighed. "Just do what you need to do."
She squealed and practically clapped her hands in glee like a little girl. She began rummaging through her makeup things for the items she needed.
"I never had the chance to do any of this with Faye," she muttered. "This will be so much fun, I promise."
As much as it pained me to deny it, it was fun. She made me laugh the entire time and she was very gentle with her hands. She curled my hair and then did my makeup up but she made me close my eyes for the final reveal. She told me over and over again how beautiful it was but I refused to believe it until I saw it. She made sure my eyes were closed as she led me over to the mirror and when I finally opened my eyes, I took a double take because I didn't recognize who was standing in front of me.
My hair was curled and piled into a messy bun at the top of my head and for my outfit, she picked a black corset top that made my boobs look bigger than they were and left a silver of skin behind. She paired that with ripped jeans and black boots and I knew that Darius was going to lose his mind. My cheeks heated as I thought about his reaction to it.

"Thank you, Amy."
"You don't have to thank me, just have fun, that's all I want." She glanced at the clock on the wall and muttered a sound of victory. "We finished just in time, he should be waiting for you downstairs."
I glanced at the clock and saw that it was a few minutes until 6 six. I didn't want to ask any more questions so I slipped my feet into the silver heels she laid out for me and I followed her downstairs. I was nervous as hell and it made my palms clammy. I hated that I was acting this way over a man but then again, Darius was not just a man.
He was standing at the foot of the stairs waiting for me and his eyes widened when he saw me. He stared at me like I was something otherworldly and I couldn't help the small smile that grew on my lips. I never had someone look at me the way he did at that moment.
Once I was close enough, he reached out to me and grabbed my hand. "I have half a mind to stay home and peel this off you slowly."
My cheeks heated but I managed to keep my expression coy. "If you're good after then maybe I can let you."
"Maybe?" He leaned over so his lips were grazing my ears. "Baby, nothing is stopping me from fucking you tonight."
He pulled away and although I was flustered, he barely looked bothered. He brushed invisible lint off his shirt and held out his hand for me to take. I didn't hesitate before taking it and he led me out of the house and into his car. I noticed a few guards trailing behind us.
"Are they going with us?" I asked and he nodded.
"Faye hasn't been caught yet. We need to be extra vigilant."
"Where are we going?"
"You have a poster of The Coven in your room," I was confused by the sudden change
in conversation but I decided to let it slide and nodded. "Well, they are having a concert in the next town. I don't know what you see in them but I guess I'll find out."
