Give In To Me: A Beastly Love Story
Chapter 7: Things get very complicated…
Anastasia sighed and then tried to move, but she was very sore, it still hurt. Hunter had rolled over and was lying beside her on the floor, breathing deeply. "Anastasia…" his voice was sexy and he gently pressed his lips to hers for a sweet kiss. She smiled and as easily as she could, she began to get up, wincing at the pain. He noticed and quickly got on his knees, placing his hands on her legs. "Are you alright?"
Kyle couldn't believe it, she was so amazing, everything about her. He felt her trying to move and quickly went to helping, asking if she was alright. "I'm okay, it just hurts." her voice was rough and sounded like she was really hurt. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. Let me help you up." he eased her into his arms and gently sat her on a chair at the table. "That was amazing!" he couldn't help but say, taking a seat beside her and taking her hand in his.
Anastasia smiled, then looked around and saw their clothes thrown about. "We need to get dressed." he nodded and pulled on his boxers and jeans, then threw on his shirt and gathered her own clothes for her. "Here, do you need help?" his voice was filled with concern, but she shook her head, it was slightly painful, but somehow she managed her clothes back on.
Kyle sat there, staring at her from his chair as she put her clothes on. Everything about her was sexy and he found himself wanting more already. Once she was dressed, she sat back down and faced him with a blush on her face. "Well, that was…something." she chuckled and sighed, watching his every move. "Did you enjoy it? I'm sorry if your first time wasn't good." he was worried about this, even though she seemed to enjoy it, he had girls fake before.
Anastasia blinked at him, then smiled, he was way too cute. "It was very nice, it hurt at first, but then became very enjoyable. I'm sorry I didn't do much." he shook his head at her and took her hand in his. "It was so good! Don't think anything about it…we can always try again." his comment caught her off guard and she coughed. "Hunter, I did enjoy that, but it won't become a regular thing, you are my employee."
Kyle couldn't believe what she said, they just made love, he took her virginity and now she was saying it wasn't going to happen anymore. He stared at her for a while, then sighed. Of course Anastasia didn't want her first time to be with Kyle Kingston, she wanted Hunter. He stood up and walked to the curtains, "I'm going home if you don't need me." his heart dropped as she nodded, signally him to leave.
Anastasia watched him walk out, unsure of what she should do. She just had sex for the first time and it was with Hunter, a guy she just hired, she liked him and all, but for a moment during the love-making, she thoughts went to Kyle. She didn't understand what was happening to her, she was fine being alone, not dating anyone. Now she was having sex with Hunter, and thinking of Kyle…which come to think of it, he hasn't been around in a while.
Kyle made his way home and slammed his bedroom door, not understanding women at all! He thought it was the greatest sex ever, yet she kicked him out right after. Damn Kendra! It was her fault for turning him into this monster! He blinked, but if Kendra hadn't turned him, he never would have gotten close to Anastasia and then never would've slept with her. He looked out the window and saw couples acting sweet and loving to each other and for once in his whole life, Kyle Kingston was Envious.
Anastasia eased herself into her bed after locking the store up, there was no way she was going to stay open, not after that. She laid there, thinking of Hunter…then of Kyle. "You stupid stupid girl." she cursed herself, it was all her fault after all. Her phone chimed and she saw a text from Kendra, who she had completely forgotten. She quickly dialed the numbers. "Hey Kendra! Sorry about earlier…" she started, unsure of what to tell her best friend.
Kyle smashed another cup against his bedroom wall, angry at many things. Kendra was to blame because she cursed him. He was to blame for not telling Anastasia who he was. She was to blame for having sex with him if she didn't want to be with him. Kendra probably set the whole thing up. He stopped his stomping and blinked. "Did they plan this whole thing together? The curse and all?" he thought about it, Kendra had led him to her store that day, introduced him to Anastasia.
Anastasia gave up on trying to figure out what to do and decided to go for a walk. She turned a corner for the fifth time and bumped into someone. It was the girl from that night, the one that Hunter and her saved. "Oh shit I'm sorry." she said and the girl stumbled, but remained upright. "I'm sorry too, I wasn't paying attention, I'm looking for someone." she held a piece of paper in her hands and then showed it to me. "Have you seen someone that looks like this?"
Anastasia blinked and then realized it was a drawing of Hunter, she could tell by the scars and marks. "Why are you looking for him?" she stepped up to the girl. "He saved my life…I want to thank him personally…again…" her voice was that of emotion more than thankfulness. "He works for me." she said simply and the girl perked up. "Will does he work? Where does he live?" she was taken back by the shy girl's demands.
Kyle found myself in a dark brown hoodie, covering his face and walked along the streets, not knowing where he was going. He walked up the stairs to a bridge that went over a few streets, wanting to be away from the happy people around him. That's when he saw them, he knew that beautiful mane of red curls anywhere. She was standing in front of a girl with long dark silky hair…wait that face…it was Lindy! He couldn't hear them, but Lindy was holding a piece of paper.
Lindy had to find him, she needed to see that face again. "I cannot give out information like that." the red-haired girl said to her, her tone implying that she personally didn't want to give her a damn thing about Hunter. "What's your name?" Lindy tried to make her voice seem friendly, but honestly didn't give two shits about this busty bitch. "Anastasia. Yours?" "Lindy." her hand extended and Lindy stood it firmly, getting a point that she wasn't to be messed with.
Anastasia was unimpressed with Lindy, she was pretty and had a decent body, but something in her eye's when she spoke about Hunter made her want to knock that smile off her face. "This is my number and address, please give it to Hunter, I really want to talk to him." Anastasia nodded and took the new paper from Lindy, hoping to get away from her. "Thanks!" her eyes narrowed at Anastasia and then she took off past her, probably to continue looking.
Kyle watched with curious eyes at the two girls talking, weighing each other up it seemed. He smiled to himself, even looking like this, he could get two girls to fight over him. Suddenly Lindy took off past Anastasia and she was standing alone, holding a small piece of paper. She put it in her purse and continued her walk, Kyle followed. She turned down an alley, then quickly faced him.
"Why are you following me?" her voice seemed stressed and tired, his heart instantly wanted to pull her close and hold her forever. "I seen you walking, decided to catch up…maybe talk about stuff." he tried, stepping toward her, but she backed away. "Hunter, I just need some time. Plus you have another person that cares, Lindy." her voice now held plenty of irritation. "Anastasia, she just thinks I saved her life…I never got the chance to explain everything."
Anastasia couldn't figure out why she backed away from Hunter, she liked him didn't she? He was watching her, weighing how close she would allow him. She was surprised when he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her against his chest. She could hear how fast his heart was beating, beating for her. "I'm sorry if I seemed angry earlier." his tone was soft and scared, scared of her rejecting him…again.
Kyle didn't even realize that he moved to her and now was pressing her gently against him. No matter what has happened, before or after, he cared deeply for the red-haired woman he held ever so gently. "I'm sorry I made you leave. I'm just really confused." her voice was muffled slightly, but so sweet. "Hunter, I'm so sorry…" he felt wetness on his shirt, she was crying now. Hunter…why was he so stupid, she still wanted HUNTER!
Kendra walked down the alley, deciding to check on Kyle Kingson's predicament, hoping to see him suffering a bit. Her eyes instantly found her hair, bright against his jacket. Her best friend was being held by that jerk. He must think it's so funny, using her curse to get with the most beautiful girl she knew, only because she cared about what was inside instead of outside. She would fix Kyle Kingson, that was her friend.
