Love & Lies

"One more shot!" Taylor screams and I wince, straightening out my dress and leaning on my left foot to relieve the pain in my feet from the obnoxiously high heels.

Courtesy of Taylor.

"I think that's enough, Tay." I say, grabbing her arm gently when she frowns.

"Nonsense! We have to get you laid tonight, with a really hot guy, preferably." She yells and I watch as Adam's head snaps in our direction since he's sitting literally a foot away from us. Not that we invited him, he showed up himself.

His grip on the drink in his hand tightened considerably when I grin mischievously.

"Sounds like a good idea." I say when she returns my smile and both of us down another drink. Just as I reach for another shot, someone grabs my arm and pulls me towards him.

I effectively crash into the man's chest and looked up, furious, knowing full well who it was.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I smacked his chest, ignoring the way his dark and furious eyes make something flutter inside my stomach.

"If I see you with any other man, I swear to god, Rose, he is as good as dead. No one touches you but me." He warns, his voice low and dangerous when I swallow thickly, my eyes flitting to his lips for a brief second before I force them away.

Do not give in.

"You're not my boyfriend, or my husband, or my father, or brother. So stay the fuck out of my business, will you?" I snap when his grip on my wrist tightens and I wince.

"I will be the only man in your life, get that in your head or I'll fuck it in you, gladly." He emphasizes when I scowl, snatching my arm from his grip and rubbing my wrist subconsciously.

"Asshole." I mutter, grabbing Taylor and Aaron's hand who were both watching the exchange with rapt attention as I drag them to the dancefloor.

"That was hot." Taylor says grinning mischievously when I roll my eyes.

"Just dance with me so I can forget about his annoyingly handsome face." I say and they both laugh at me before we start dancing to the beat, moving our bodies, them downing in more drinks when Tristan, Arthur and Dylan also join us.

The girls are obviously crowding the guys but Taylor is quick to push them off Tristan and mark her territory by making out with him.

I scrunch my face in distaste, Arthur's and Dylan's matching mine as we turn the other way and continue dancing.

With my eyes closed and the world around me spinning, I smile to myself like a creep as my hands run over myself and not even moments later, I feel someone's hands on my waist.

My eyes snap open and I briefly catch a blonde guy's face, who smirks at me, guiding the movements of my waist with his hands as I hook my hands around his neck and dance with him, sensually swaying my hips that makes him groan.

Not even a few seconds later, blondie is ripped off of me harshly and once again, I'm grabbed like the rag doll I am and thrown over someone's shoulder.

"Adam! You asshole! Let me down!" I scream and yell, hitting his back with all the strength I have in me.

People in the queue outside look at us with questioning faces, since they obviously recognise Adam and start making videos on their phones.

Great.

"Put me down! My dress is too short!" I exclaim but he doesn't listen, only covers my ass with his hand.

"There, you're covered now." He grits out and I grind my teeth in frustration, huffing a breath as I stop squirming, knowing it wouldn't get me anywhere anyway.

Going towards his car, I recognise Carter immediately who looks at us with an unsure smile as Adam practically shoves me into the backseat, following in after me.

I huff, a pout forming on my lips as I cross my arms over my chest like a defiant child and look out the window as the car starts moving.

The partition slides up between the driver and us when Adam suddenly turns to me.

"What the fuck were you doing? I thought I clearly told you to stay away from other guys." He snaps at me when I roll my eyes and ignore him, looking out the window instead.

"The silent treatment? Fine. Let's see how silent you are once I get started on you." His threat hangs in the air.

I swallow thickly, not answering him still and hear his frustrated sigh as he stops talking to me, knowing it was of no use anyway.

We reach my apartment shortly when he gets out, holding the door open for me. Ignoring him completely, I shakily get off the car and nearly hit the ground because of my heels but Adam is quick to steady me.

I don't thank him, and instead, yank myself out of his grip and storm towards my apartment, digging my keys out from my purse and throw the door open, closing it in his face but his foot in the way stops me from doing so and an annoyed sound comes out from the back of my throat.

"What the hell is wrong with you? First you want me to go, then you want me to come back, then you think I'm a cheater and lar and suddenly I'm the most honest person you know. I fucking despise you!" I shove my pointer finger into his chest, ignoring his taken aback expression as he closes the door behind us and locks it, once, and then twice.

"And that was my first fucking mistake, to ever doubt you. And the second? Letting you walk away. You're not a cheater or a liar. You're right, you're always right and so fucking amazing I don't deserve you." He says with frustration as my brows pinch together.

"You're right, I am fucking amazing and you don't deserve me, which is why I'm very nicely kicking you out." I say with tears welling in my eyes.

"You always are. And I'm so fucking sorry, Rose, you can't imagine—" He pauses, running a hand through his hair as he turns his back to me and sighs heavily with his hands on his waist, shaking his head.

"I can't live without you." His pained voice reaches my ears after a few quiet seconds and I take n a deep breath.

"Did you think of that when you blamed me for everything?" I ask him in a monotonous tone but God knows how much I was breaking from the inside.

"Yes. I never hated you for it. I hated myself." His confession made m frown.

"I hated myself for still being so irrevocably in love with you even after that so called 'proof' was sent to me. I hated how all I wanted was to forget everything and just move on from all the loss I'd faced and just let you have me. I hated being so weak." He finally turned around and my eyes widened n the slightest as he took a step closer to me.

"But I've accepted that now. That you make me weak. That you make me want to give up everything for you. I knew it then too, but I believe in it now more than anything else. I love you, more than life itself. And if you think kicking me out of here will stop me from making you mine, you're dead wrong." He shook his head while I watched him closely.

"You hurt me, again, and again, and again. You made me insecure of myself all over again. You made me afraid of loving and yet, you mad me love it as well. I loved the pan you brought me because t was from you."

"But that doesn't mean I liked what it did to me, because it ruined me, Adam, you ruined me." I choked as his hands grabbed m face and he rest his forehead against mine, closing his eyes.

"You ruined me for anyone else, just like you promised, and maybe I am a little crazy for loving that. For loving you, and letting you break me like that for everyone else." I heard my voice crack at the end as he pulled me impossibly closer.

"Then let me ruin you all over again, because you did the same to me." He said softly, his voice raspy when something inside me ignited, a familiar fire came back and settled inside me as I grabbed his wrists with both my hands and looked into his eyes with so much passion I thought I'd burst.

"Gladly." I whispered and in the next moment, his lips were on mine, kissing the hell out of me.

He grabbed my waist, our bodies flush against one another as our lips moved against one another's passionately and I opened my mouth to his, letting his tongue explore my mouth as his hands grabbed onto me hungrily and he lifted me up, my legs wrapping around his waist.

One moment we were in the living room, and n the next he threw me onto my bed, climbing on top of me and once again taking my lips with his as I unbuttoned his shirt after hew threw his blazer off.

His hand went to the back of my dress, pulling down the zipper and sliding the dress of my body and throwing t somewhere behind him after sliding his shirt off.

I slid my hands down his chiselled torso, sighing into his mouth as he took off my heels and then pulled away in the slightest to kiss all the way up from the back of my knee to my inner thighs, looking up at me through hooded eyes.

"You'll hate me for this in the morning." He murmured when I sighed heavily.

"I won't." I whispered, and that was all it took for him to unclasp my bra, his lips connecting with my chest as I moaned out loud n delight.

"Then I'm going to savour every fucking moment I have with you." He whispered, his movements becoming more and more gentle with me as he kissed all the way down, dragging my panties down my legs.

"Beautiful." His dark gaze raked over my bare body before connecting with mine and he sucked in a sharp breath when our eyes met as he lowered his lips to mine.

"Tell me you love me." He whispered before kissing me softly when I shook my head, tears already springing to my eyes.

"Admit it, baby. Please, I need to hear it." He spoke in a strained voice but I shook my head again.

"Not yet." I whispered before he kissed me again, hurt flashing across his features before he masked it and kissed all the way down, leaving hickeys everywhere.

"I'll make you say it, one way or another. I know you love me, I know you do." He spoke confidently and I gulped, my back arching when his tongue connected with my clit.

"Just like that, baby." He urged and kissed me down there again, his tongue swirling, licking, sucking, driving me wild as his fingers slowly entered me, every stroke erupting a whimper out of my lips.

"Adam, please..." I pleaded, but for what, I had no idea as he pushed his fingers in and out of me at a steady pace, twisting and curling them inside me and hitting all the right places as continuous moans escaped my mouth.

"I love the sounds you make for me." He murmured sensually as I felt my high approaching, my hands latching to his hair and pulling at them, eliciting a grunt from him as my legs wrapped around his head.

"So wet for me." He whispered as he licked and sucked my clit, leaving me a whimpering mess as my whole body shook and I came with a loud gasp, my eyes fluttering shut as I felt my high envelop me.

Regaining my senses, I pulled him up and watched as he sucked his fingers clean and I swallowed thickly with a red face before he leaned down and kissed me.

"You taste like heaven." He whispered between kisses as I tried to pry his pants off.

He pulled away a bit, unbuckling his belt and tossing it behind him, then took off his pants slowly, my eyes hanging on to every movement of his when I bit my lip and watched him strip with rapt attention.

He climbed on top of me once again, throwing his boxers away and I revelled in the sight of him as he pushed open my legs wider, settling himself between them as his nose nuzzled against mine, the tip of his cock pressed just against my entrance.

"I love you." He whispered before pushing himself inside of me. I gasped, my back arching off the bed and my chest pushing up into his as he buried himself deep inside me and shuddered, lowering his face to the crook of my neck.

He stayed still like that, embedded deep inside me and not moving as he kissed up my collarbone and sucked on my earlobe before taking my lips with his.

Our kiss was unusually slow and sweet, gentle like a breeze as he slowly moved out of me and then back in, the action making me whimper slightly as my nails dug into his shoulders and back.

He touched his forehead against mine, stilling once again as I looked at him confused and in pain.

"What are you doing to me?" I whispered in absolute pain and pleasure.

"Ruining you. Making love to you. Making you mine, forever." He murmured before sliding out then ramming right back in, a moan leaving my lips at the contact as he started to move at a steady pace, taking my hands off his neck and putting them on either side of my head, our fingers intertwining as he moved in and out of me.

"So good for me, aren't you? You'll let me be the end of you, won't you?" He whispered into my ear as I felt the tears stream down my face freely at the all the emotion.

"Yes, Adam, yes." I gasped as he slowly increased his pace, his hips thrusting into mine without a pause but with such strength that every thrust left me completely and utterly shattered.

He broke me, then rearranged me, then broke me again, then put me back together with his thrusts, and the cycle continued with me panting, gasping for air and a whimpering, hot mess that caved in to him in the end, always.

"You're mine, and I'm yours. Say it." He urged as our eyes connected as he slid out of me, ramming back in with such strength I felt my resolve break.

"You're mine, and I'm yours." I cried as he kissed my tears away and nibbled on my lips as I wrapped my legs around his waist and let him break me all over again.

"You complete me, you make me weak, you—" He paused, shuddered, then changed the pace of his thrusts, his strokes more powerful and calculated as he hit all the right spots in every stroke, the sound of our moans and groans echoing in my room as beads of sweat rolled down his face and fell onto my chest.

"Tell me you love me." He growled, grunting as he pushed himself inside me completely and I gasped, my lips parting as I took in his flushed face and said the words that had ben sitting on my tongue for the past six months as I drowned in his midnight blue eyes.

"I love you." And with that, we both came, an earth shattering orgasm that left me breathless and so completely in love with him as he sighed into our kiss and came inside me.

"Say it again." He murmured as I kissed him back.

"I love you, Adam, I love you, I love you, I love you. With all my being, all my heart and soul. I am yours, always." I whispered and heard his satisfied grunt.

"I love you too, sweetheart." And with that, I felt my eyes close just as he pulled out of me and pulled me into him, and I let him hold me for as long as he possibly could.

I loved him, didn't I?
