Page 29 of Teach Me How To Fly

I could’ve described myself as an erupting volcano right now, but I calmed myself down in seconds the moment I realized that I was letting a seventeen year old girl mess with me. But that didn’t mean that I couldn’t teach her how to pay more respect to someone who could’ve been her bigger brother.

“Not wanting attention doesn’t mean being fake, Katya,” I whispered as I got closer to her. “But wanting attention? Isn’t this just the fake facade you’re trying to show everyone just so no one would question what you truly are?”

The coldness in my voice made her lips part away, and her gaze turned from a confident one into a shocked one. She pinned me with her eyes and I knew she could feel my breath hitting her face.

I smirked as I saw how her chest was rising at an alarming rate.

“I’m not afraid of you!” she suddenly spoke, taking a step back.

But she didn’t manage to get away from me, because I gripped her wrist, forcing her to stand in front of me, right where she was seconds ago.

“You don’t have to be afraid of me, but if you don’t listen to me so we can make this work, you should be afraid of this,” I lowered my voice as I took out my knife and raised it up to her face.

Her whole body shuddered at the sight of the sharp blade standing right in front of her nose.

“I guess you know what a knife can do, right?”

“M-Maksen, put that down,” she mumbled as she tried to regain her breath.

“That depends on you, Katya,” I replied and my lips moved together into a mischievous grin. “We are going to marry in six months and the only way to do that is to find a plan so Annalise could move in with you in my house.”

As I spoke the words out loudly, I realized the craziness that weighed each letter down. Lukyan would’ve never accept such a thing, but I had to try everything in order to have Annalise with me.

She furrowed her brows, not taking her eyes off the knife. “He wouldn’t accept that, and you know it.”

“Oh, he will, and you’ll make sure he will,” I added, brushing my thumb over the edge of the blade. “You’ll tell him everything that might come to your little head and you’ll make sure he accepts it.”

“I-I’ll try,” she sighed, gulping the lump that might’ve got stuck in her neck.

“Good. If you tell your father anything about this, I’ll make sure that this knife, my dearest Katya, will end in Laura’s heart,” I spit, and that was the moment she froze from head to toe.

I pulled the ace up my sleeve just to make sure she knew how dangerous I could be.

As far as I knew, Laura was her secret love interest for quite a time. It was a surprise for me when I found it out because Laura’s last name was McKnight. She was Ender’s littlest daughter and Lukyan wouldn’t be so happy to hear that his dearest Katya was in love with his enemy’s daughter.

If hours ago she wouldn’t stop talking, now her silence was the best thing that has happened in the entire vacation.

“Did I make myself clear to you?” I said as I let her free of my grip and put the knife back into my pocket.

“Yes,” she replied and let her gaze fall to the ground.

“Good. Now get the fuck out of here.”

As soon as I spoke the last word, she turned around on her heels and left the room. I heard her starting to cry before opening the door and heading to the beach in front of the house, but little did I care about how she felt.

All I cared about was protecting Annalise and making her mine.

I wonder what changed inside of me that made me realize Annalise has always meant more to me than a simple friend.

In the last couple of months, I spent several moments thinking about her and how much I wanted to get closer to her, and now that she started doing the same, it was harder for me to refrain from what I truly wanted to do.

Every time I touched another woman, I thought about how it would’ve been if I would touch Annalise.

Every time another woman moaned my name, I thought how it would come out of Annalise’s mouth.

Every time I thrusted into another woman, I thought of…

But I tilted my head instantly as I felt my pants getting tighter around my cock. I needed to get rid of these thoughtsunless I wanted to hide in the bathroom like a fucking teenager full of hormones.
