Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.

Daxton

My heart  relaxed when I saw that little smile played on her lips. She was so tensed right from the bail.
She was enjoying the weather or maybe just tried to hide her pain in the rumbling of clouds. She looked like a soulless body. Jade running with the umbrella but I stopped him in between and hold tiny hand of Olivia. She blinked those lustrous amber eyes
which welled up with tears but she gulped down her tears instead of letting them touch her soft cheeks.

I don't want to leave her soft hands which are shielded by my rough one's. I want to entangle my fingers with her for my whole life. I'm going to kill those bastards who laid a finger on her. Who put that cut on her soft lips and wrists, even that swollen forehead.

*Time Skip*

I came back to my room after taking a shower in the guest room. Olivia is still in the shower. I head towards my closet and Olivia open the door of the washroom and her mouth dropped for like an inch.

I remember that being naked and the towel only covers my lower body and my tattoos are on a show. When we made an eye contact she flustered though she already examined me from top to bottom as her cheeks blushed like a tomato. Her eyes still stuck on the part of my body which covered with ink. I started getting inked when i was in high school. Me and Liam got the same tattoo on the left side straight below the heart. 'Our first bike race' We won it together so we asked the artist to carve us on the skin with our bike.

"Enjoying the view, Miss Reed"
She shakes her head hesitantly tugging her lower lip between her white teeth. She slightly moves her head upwards.

I pulled out her lip from the cage with my rough thumb while tracing the back of my hand on her soft cheeks. She shivers with my move but enjoying it as well.

"I'm not a patient person Olivia, You need to stop testing it".
She moves a little closer. I stop her by placing my hands on her shoulders.

"You are emotionally weak right now. I don't want to take advantage of a situation like this". She chuckled like a little girl which enlightens the dark side of my heart.

" What"? I raised my brows in confusion. Is this a joke?

"You are cute" She touches the edge of my nose again same as in the charity function and my heart melted. She wrapped her arms around my neck tracing her fingers firmly in my wet hairs. Damn girl!! Don't do this. You are turning on a beast. She leaves an inch gap in our lips while I'm breathing her air.

"And I'm not at my weakest. Right now, I am at my strongest". She smashes her lips on mine and I can't fucking resist this time. I pick her from the waist and she instantly wrapped her legs around me like a pro. Her body touched the wall and my towel slid from my waist but that's not a concern right now. She parted her lips and without wasting a second I slip my tongue, exploring every part of her mouth. Sucked her lower lip which leads to a moan slip from her side. Our tongues move in sync while the kiss turned wild and brutal as we moan, bite, sucking each other.

We catch our breath for a second, Her cheeks turned red and she smiled at me while gave a little peck on my nose with her soft lips.

"Do you want me to keep going"? I asked just in case, last time she slapped me after enjoying the kiss. I don't want that situation again. Though my body aches for her 'yes and she fucking nodded with a seductive please slipping from her lips.

A devilish grin played on my lips and suck her neck and she stretches her neck instantly giving me full authorization. I'm going to leave a mark on her with pleasure. She is mine. Fucking mine!!

Startled by a knock on the door. But I couldn't give much attention but she again patted on my shoulders.

"What if it's important"? She said in between her moans. I stopped for a second and tucked her hair behind her ear.

"If it's not then am going to kill whoever it is". She chuckled and her feet touched the ground. She examined me from top to bottom and also my hard-on erection which is visible from boxers.

Grab the towel from the ground and place it on my shoulder.  I head towards the closet.

"Don't get jealous of my round ass, Olivia"
I winked at her and she turned immediately with her blushing face towards the door.

Olivia

I can't hide my smiling face. I don't even remember when was the last time I was so happy. I opened the door and the mood spoiler standing in from of me with her egoistic face.

Ugh!!Catherine.

Holding a bag in her hand, examined me from top to bottom. While I blocked her from entering the room
Mr.devil is still changing and I don't want her to see him like that. Maybe she saw him naked before. But I don't want to right now. She pushed my hair behind and take a closer look on my neck. I pulled the hair again which is barely covering it. Damn!! Mr.Devil's doing.

She raised her brows, not in shock but a grin played on her lips.
"I didn't know Daxton started bringing his whores in his room now".

"You fucking bitch"!!
My blood boiled. She ruined my whole happy mood.

"Huh"! She waves her hand in the air. "He didn't tell you, didn't he"?

"Do you even know how many whores he fucked before you?. He believes in one night stand. Don't you ever underestimate it with love. He never loved anyone. Even not going to fall for someone like you". She patted my cheek and gave me the bag of her clothes. Flicks her hair in attitude and ticking off her heel. My world shattered, few minutes before we were making love, and here am standing in the doorway battling with my own emotions.

Tears welled up in my eyes. I take a deep breath, my heart clenched with pain. He betrayed me, he just want to fuck me Is that why he is being too nice?

Now I understand why my classmate cried in school years ago " Nobody is nicer than the guy who hasn't had sex with you yet".
That's what she said when she got cheated by a guy who let her believe that he liked her.

"Olivia"?
His honey-like voice getting me back into reality. I take a deep breath and gulped down my tears.

Before I even face him, he wrapped his arms around me, and my back touch his hard chest while placing his chin on my shoulder. I want to feel his warmth but what Catherine just said. I don't know what am going to do with that information. But it's not his fault. I expect way too much. It was just a kiss nothing more than that. Yeah, people kissed. No strings attached. So, just get over with it Olivia.

I take a deep breath and turn towards him and give a peck on his cheek and head towards the bathroom. I don't want to change in the first place, his clothes are cozy and even I can feel his warmth in these clothes. But I couldn't let myself drown into his aura though he is attractive and hot as fuck. I need to be calm and patient instead of a desperate fangirl around him.

When I come back from the bathroom. I felt a little uncomfortable because of the dress she gave to me. She wants me to look like a whore. Her dress is so tight revealing my curves way too much and barely covering my thighs. But am not one of them. So I don't give a fuck what she thinks and wants. I know who I am.

He is nowhere to be seen. I open the big door thinking about this tattoos. I though there only few as i noticed blackness under his dress shirt in office . But there are many, i even lose count. The bike tattoo maybe he carved for his brother. 'Roman numbers' is another one that got my attention, though i forgot the date. I am not good with numbers. Nicki , Liam and Dax written on his right biceps. Maybe Nicki is-

Marcus bumped into my legs from nowhere take me back to reality and he gave me that little puppy smile. My heart melts when he asked me to sit down with his little hand gestures.

He wrapped his little arms around me and give a peck on my cheek softly.
" I miss you Oli-via. Don't g-o any-where". He jumped on me and I pulled him into my arms. He is quite heavy to carry but never mind. I kissed him back.

"I'm not going anywhere, Bunny"
I saw my mom coming towards us with a concerned look on her face.

"Olivia, are you alright my pumpkin"
She hugged me from another side as am carrying Marcus on one side.

"Mom" I tried to explain things then I remember that I don't even know what story they made up to take her here.

"Let's go home. I'll make you some delicious food".She grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the hallway.

"No! She i-s not go-ing any-where".Marcus whined and started crying loudly.

"Bunny I'm not going. Shh. Shh..Don't cry". I wipe his tears and asked mom to wait for a while.

"Pinky promise"? He asked in between sobbing and showed me his little finger to keep the promise.

I don't know why I promised him. My mom raised her brows in confusion but I assure her that I'll handle it.

"Miss Reed, Boss is waiting for you in his office"Jade standing behind fully dressed. I nodded. Jade tried to grab Marcus but he insisted to stay, so I pick him straight to Mr. Devil's office.
I knock on the door and heard 'come in' from inside.

_______________________________________

Ah yes, finally a kiss without a slap..Do you like it?

What do you think about the information that Catherine passed to Olivia?

Is it just a stunt of her to get rid of Olivia from Daxton's life? Or Is she really concerned?

How are you my lovelies?

" I could make it better
I could hold you tighter
On that long road
Oh you're the light
Uninvited
Unwelcome
The only one who recognized me "✨✨✨✨
