Chapter 24:

"Darien!" Beryl song singed.

She watched with amusement as Darien came sliding out of his bedroom, breathless and with only his jeans on. She smirked as she raked her eyes over his muscled body, which was still slightly sweaty and heaving.

"Mmm," Beryl murmured in satisfaction as she stalked closer to him.

"What!.... Err what are you doing here Beryl?" Darien managed to squeeze out while still standing his ground, refusing to back away while re-gaining his breath.

"What? Can't I come around any more? After what happened 2 nights ago, I would have thought you would be begging for more, I know I am," Beryl purred with a sly wink.

Darien barely managed to suppress a disgusted shudder when her hand landed on him, her nails digging and sinking into his taunt skin.

"Beryl, you should go," Darien said softly but fiercely as he picked up her hand and dropped it to her side.

She pouted, "Aww Darien,"

Darien sneaked a glance toward his bedroom door, making sure that it was firmly shut and desperately wishing that Serena couldn't hear any of this.

"Beryl," Darien said threw clenched teeth, "Now is not a good time but trust me when I say that don't worry about calling me cause I will definitely get back to you.... there are a few things we have to sort out,"

"I know one thing right now that needs immediate sorting," Beryl purred before latching her mouth onto Darien's.

His eyes widened in shock as he stood dumbly there as she attacked his lips, a faint echo of Serena's soft caresses that she had bestowed on him only minutes before.

They both didn't hear the loud, painful gasp and his bedroom door close softly as Darien slowly came to his senses and tried to wiggle out of Beryl's demanding kiss and hold.

"Don't deny it baby, I know I still have an effect on you," Beryl whispered as she grabbed his balls and gently squeezed his semi- erect dick threw his jeans, the reminder of Serena's torture not Beryl's allure.

"Don't!" Darien said as he jumped back from her as if burnt, "You and I both know that any real attraction between us died long ago and now all you feel is lust because that's all you know how to feel,"

Beryl who; by nature was not easily put off only smiled devilish back at Darien and tried to advance on him again but he held her back.

"Beryl listen to me carefully and listen good because I'm only saying this once. It's over and the sooner you accept that, the sooner we can move on,"

Beryl snapped back and looked at Darien squarely in the eye, "You're in love with someone else aren't you?" She asked softly as the lust and desire that clouded her eyes slowly melted away.

"What? No!"

"You are, oh my god! I can't believe I didn't see this sooner. And here I thought that you were playing the elusive bad boy sex god role,"

Darien opened and closed his mouth in astonishment as he watched as Beryl continued to muse to herself.

Beryl's eyes snapped back up to his gleaming chest and half nakedness and gasped again, "She's in there isn't she?" Beryl asked indicting his bedroom, the pieces finally fitting into place.

She didn't give Darien a chance to come up with a feeble excuse as she hastily backed up away from Darien and then with a last – reproachful look left his apartment for the last time.

Darien made no move to chase after Beryl, not that he had any real desire too but he couldn't bring himself either to walk back into his bed room. He sighed as he slumped to the side of his wall.

He rubbed his eye tiredly with the palm of his hand before shuffling to his bedroom, stopping short right before opening it before going inside. His eyes immediately sort out Serena who was fully dressed and ready to walk out of his room.

"Wait! Serena,"

She shook him off, "I'll just leave you and your hoe in peace Darien. I don't want to be your dirty little secret anymore,"

"Serena," Darien pleaded.

"No! You listen to me Darien! You lied to me; you told me that it was over between you and that bitch! And know I find that you're still sleeping with her? What is that? Friends with benefits or what?"

Serena didn't even notice the tears that started running down her face as she ranted but Darien did, his brow ceased in a frown as he automatically reached out to her and wiped away her tears.

She gasped at the brief and tender touch he bestowed on her cheek, kicking herself mentally for letting his touch affect her so much, so quickly just like it had in the past. No matter how much she tried to deny it, no matter how long she has been with Darien and experienced his harsh kisses and fleeting touches it always sparked something inside her and it scared her.

"I'm sorry Serena, you know she doesn't mean anything to me," Darien said softly as he stood transfixed by her baby blue eyes.

"Darien," Serena whimpered as his lips brushed past hers.

"Please stay," Darien requested as he cupped her face in his hands.

Serena nodded against her better judgment and his lips danced across her lips once more. It took everything in Darien not to just rip off Serena's clothes and slam her onto his bed and ride her into orgasmic bliss. Instead he pampered her with soft kisses and even softer caresses.

Serena moaned as she felt his hot, wet tongue slide down her neck which was one of her many sensitive spots. She barely managed to suppress another moan when her jacket quietly fell to the floor quickly followed by her shirt.

Darien looked up at her in a haze of lust when he saw that she still wasn't wearing a bra. Serena shrugged helplessly, when she had gotten changed she didn't pay much head to her under garments, to wrapped up in the anger and betrayal and the jealously.

"You're so beautiful," Darien said softly in awe as he peppered kisses up and down the side of her heaving breasts as her breathing became more ragged.

Serena clung to his naked chest in desperation as he sucked gently on her engorged nipple, swirling it around in his mouth before sucking on it with more vigor.

"So amazing," Darien whispered on her skin before mirroring his actions on her other breast.

Before their 'interruption' it had been all about Serena, pleasuring her until she reached that special place now it was about both of them, trying to find comfort and safety in each other and if they were in love, renewing their love and re-strengthening the bonds that held them together.

As Serena proved as she tugged down his jeans, unsurprised when his erection sprung up beneath her welcoming hands. Darien stopped her before she could grasp him fully and pushed her gently back onto the un-made bed.

"I want to come in you baby, I want to hear you scream out my name over and over again. I want to ravish you in the way you deserve, I want to pound into you till your boneless and feel like jelly and I want you to beg for just a little bit more," Darien said harshly to Serena.

She smiled as she felt him tug off her pants, his words sending an electric shock around her body, making her flush as she responded to his dirty, callous words. Making her wet just a little bit more, making her want for him grow just a little bit more.

"Please," She begged as she saw Darien move slightly away from her withering naked body.

"I could never deny you baby, just like I can't let you go,"

Serena whimpered when he pounced onto her, pinning her affectively beneath him as he rubbed his erection against her outer folds. She grunted as she tried to buck up her hips.

Darien smiled as he leaned down to catch Serena in a slow, wet kiss before impaling himself in her slick chasm.

They moaned simultaneously as Darien pushed himself right up to his hilt before pulling out again.

He bit his inner cheek as he tried to keep the pace slow and tantalizing before his inner more primal urges surged forward as he eagerly increased the pace. The only noises that could be heard were Serena as she begged to be fucked harder and faster. Her moans of ecstasy ringing through Darien's ears.

Serena clung to his shoulders and back as she bucked underneath him, "Oh yeah! Right there,"

Darien fastened his pace, his hand gripping her legs as he thrusted in and out of her. Serena's back arched off the bed as she felt her orgasm rip threw her into body, her inner muscles squeezing against Darien's throbbing cock, throwing him off inside of her. His thrusts reduced slightly so they could both ride it out together.

He rolled out of her before laying down next to Serena. She smiled lazily before slinking down.

"I think its time for a little pay back," She purred as she quickly stroke him back life.
