Chapter 79 One Moment, Ruined It All
“Maybe William had developed into a part of my nature. A very bad and negative one,”
His life started making sense when she kissed him.
All sorrows disappeared as if they never existed. His ache dispersed in the air. It felt absolutely divine.
He had never perceived a kiss would steal his functioning, his breaths, his emotions, all of him away.
When her lips desperately greeted him, his complaints from life died.
Realizing what she ended up doing, she gasped and moved back, shaking violently, covering her mouth with tears taking her sight.
“What the-”
But, her one action invited him to not stop.
Kissing her again immediately, he raked his fingers in through her locks, her scent driving him insane.
Taking advantage of the darkness, he pulled her hair and pressed her against the wall, intertwining their fingers and securing one hand on the wall.
“Don’t-”
She begged when she parted for air, breathless, a mindless mess, pressing her palm on his exposed chest.
“Shh, shhh,” he growled.
Surging with a heat in her untouched body, shivering at the contact, she tilted her head to the side, resisting the weakness.
She wanted to halt but how could she when her darkest fantasy was converting into reality?
Unintentionally allowing him to explore her skin and without further delay, he intensely sucked on her neck.
Moaning at her first intimacy, a moan liberated, running her fingers through his locks trying to pull his head back which he didn’t allow.
As if he was also completing a sick imagination of his, he smirked.
Her pulling his hair seduced him more.
Taking support from the wall, she whimpered when her body was betraying her because in the end-
Was it what she desired madly? Him becoming one with hers?
‘No, no, no, it’s wrong. I should stop,’
A tear rolled down her cheek, her heart beating as if it would leap out of her chest but there was something euphoric about forbidden desires.
The feelings she buried attempted to overwhelm her but she wanted to murder them.
She wanted to stop it all.
That was the whole point of it, right?
Wasn’t she dating Luke to save her self-respect? To shelter her heart?
To get over him, right?
Right?
Apparently not at that moment.
“Fuck, you are driving me insane,” He hissed.
Pressing his hot body over hers, he made her feel his arousal, pouring all his desperation in his actions, shifting down to kiss her neck intensely.
Imprinting his mark on her skin, his other hand proficiently held her waist to create a perfect contact between them.
“Get- Get away,” She weakly called, holding his shoulder.
Shaking her head but pressing his body harder into her, he licked her earlobe, suppressing a dark chuckle.
“I don’t think your body wants to, Bella,”
Digging her nails on his shoulder brought a smile on his stoic features, adorned with endearment and all of her actions turned on the man to the point he ached for her.
“Dammit, you feel so… amazing,” He whispered, panting, fulfilling the imaginations he was creating, leaving the trail of kisses to her chest.
Biting her bottom lip, she shut her eyes, the warmth of his body was forcing her into submission, lust began to take over.
It grew uncontrollable, to him, Luke’s proposing to her became a delusion.
‘Else why would she be here, right? That means… it never occurred, right? I was only afraid…’
“And besides you came to me,”
Smiling beautifully when he became her first kiss, her first marking, William’s control, his boundaries, his self-control, his chains.
That day, that moment, he shattered them all.
He couldn’t resist anymore and slid his hand inside her dress. Feeling her skin into his palm, dragging his nails to explore her skin.
Syncing their intensity of need and pleasure, she offered her body to him immediately allowing his fingers to lead down.
Securing her against the cold wall, his fingers moved slowly over her thighs, gripping them to spread them roughly.
Gasping at the unforeseen sensation, at the rush of euphoria she hadn’t experienced all her life when he felt her wetness too.
“My, my, aren’t you eager, Bella?”
He chuckled huskily, blending his breaths with hers and shutting her eyes more, authority over dignity slipped.
She no longer knew what she was doing, resenting how her body was moving in rhythm with the ecstasy and before she could deal irrecoverable damage- which she already did.
Or his fingers could proceed further.
She lied.
“N-No… stop, I-I came for L-Luke…”
Lights turned on.
They both stopped.
His dreams, his felicity, his hopes, everything shattered.
“No, no, you told me to stay, dammit. What was that?”
He could see her face was red, she was sobbing, a shaking mess.
Eyes affixed on the ground with miserable tears glistening, her body quivered, whimpering repeatedly.
“Luke… Luke… Luke,”
“Don’t you fucking lie!” He whisper-yelled, punching the wall when a fire ignited in his chest, turning him wild.
His eyes were wide, tears forming a screen, shaking with anguish she failed to witness. Ashamed of her own self while his very soul was twirled into a need of possession..
…. A blazing, uncontrollable, unstoppable ember of obsession…
And worsening the condition, Luke also arrived at the scene, horrified to find William’s hand inside her dress, body connected as one.
Breaking their daze, with horror washing over him, his trembling posture barely released a proper sound.
“Ar- Ara-” He gulped, suppressing the tears, “A-Arabella?”
“No, no, no, Luke, listen,”
Gasping at his arrival, she quickly pushed William away and returned the same horror, shaking her head in denial, rejecting the unfavorable sight.
… She didn’t want to be labeled as a cheater. She didn’t want to be an insincere one.
She never fathomed she would become the very type of lover she resented the most- A Cheater.
William saw that and the heartbreak he went through was inexplicable.
All he witnessed was the anguish of the woman he loved and desired ceaselessly holding feelings for his younger brother.
He knew could shatter at any moment, but burying his feelings, he curled his hand in a fist and roughly erased any sign of tears.
His very soul was being tormented by embers of his heart all because- She Loved His Brother.
“What the fuck is happening here- Arabella!?”
Helena arrived too and upon witnessing the situation, her eyes went wide, glaring at Arabella with an expression of- ‘I told you not to do it,’
“No! This- This isn’t what it looks like….” She begged.
On the verge of crying, realizing what she ended up doing, plainly rejecting her actions.
She lied.
“Please, please, please, listen to me, I.. I..”
She tried to come closer to hold Luke but none knew he proposed, none knew they started dating and clinging onto him meant absolute humiliation.
Dating one brother and being intimate with the other?
“I-I was drunk… I.. I…”
Panicking, her gaze was only connected to Luke who was glaring outrageously at her with betrayal.
“I didn’t know.. I was not in my senses, it’s the alcohol,” She whispered hopelessly.
But- Who would believe her?
