Theirs To Want

16. Ayden

Everything she said, I wished I didn't hear, but I couldn't.

"Ayden, I..."

I shook my head at her and stormed out of his house. She didn't have to explain anything to me. I heard everything that she had to say. As I walked to the car, I heard the front door slam shut.

"Ayden, wait!" Natalie shouted. "Ayden, please?!"

I took my keys out of my pocket and unlocked the car door. The sound of her heels echoed as she ran after me. Just as I got to the driver side of my car, Natalie grabbed me from behind. I snatched away from her and turned to her.

"You won't have to worry about me ever." I told her.

"Ayden, talk to me, please?" She begged.

"Why? You said everything you had to in there."

"Ayden..."

Natalie leaned against the car door and stared up at me with sad eyes. I shook my head and looked in the other direction. My feelings were hurt and the fact that she didn't feel the same way I did was like my heart being stabbed by a thousand knives. However, I still had questions for her.

"Ayden..." Natalie called my name. "I'm sorry."

"How long?" I asked her.

"What?"

"How long did you feel that way?"

Natalie turned her eyes to the ground.

"Ayden, I don't want to fall in love with anybody. I just... I want to focus on my career."

She finally looked up at me and I could see the honesty in her eyes. It took me a minute before I finally nodded my head at her decision. If she didn't want to fall in love, then that was fine. However, I couldn't deal with her anymore. Moving closer to her, I wrapped my arms around her, holding her close. Then, I kissed her from the top of her head to her neck.

"I guess this is goodbye, then." I whispered to her.

I released her and she just stared at me without another word.

"Ayden, I still want us to be friends." She whispered.

I shook my head at her. Natalie moved away from the car and I got in. After starting it up, I turned to her and gave her a small smile before I drove off.

I've never been the one to be angry about a woman turning me down, but man, did this one hurt me. I punched another hole into the wall of my room until I heard my knuckles crack. I hissed and groaned from the pain. I sat on the bed and glanced down at my hands. My hand was busted and blood pooled from a cut I didn't know I had. I wiped the hot tears from my face, then looked around the room. A knock came on the door to my room and a loud sigh escaped my lips.

"What?" I asked my father.

He walked into the room, but wasn't alone. Adonis and Kieran was with him. The three of them walked in and Adonis sat on the bed next to me.

"You want to talk about it?" Kieran asked me.

I shook my head, getting off the bed.

"I hate to admit it, but Alias right about this one." I told them.

"Why do you say that?" Adonis asked.

"I should've left her alone when he told me. She's... f**k, man."

I wiped the sweat off my face, then walked to my window, opening it and letting the breeze in.

"Ayden, what happened?" Father asked me.

"Nothing, but heartbreak," I told him. "She told Jesslyn she didn't see me as lover, but a friend."

"She never told you that?" Kieran asked.

I turned to them and shook my head.

"Never said it." I told them.

"I'm sure you noticed her behavior, though." Father said.

I shrugged my shoulder and looked down at the ground.

"Why are you taking it hard?" Adonis questioned me. "There's plenty of girls out there that you could hook up with. She's not your first, right?"

I closed my eyes and nodded at him.

"Oh, wow." Adonis said to me.

"The first ones don't do well, son." Father told me. "Like your cousin just stated, there are other women that would love to deal with you. You can't just wrap your heart around one."

"It'll take him a minute to go to that side, though." Kieran told father. "I understand how he's feeling. The first heartbreaks are the worst."

"How about this?" Kain asked. "You keep your space from her and work on yourself. I'll give you a couple weeks for that. After that, you take your ass to your cousin's club and mingle with some of the women there. Find you someone that you are interested in."

As much as I hated the idea, I had no other choice. So, I agreed to my father's plan. The three of them walked to the door, but Adonis stopped and turned to me.

"Don't think about calling her, either." He told me.

"I won't." I told him. "I have nothing to say to her."

"I'm serious, Ayden. Stay away from her."

"I hear you."

Adonis patted the door, then walked out with my father and his father. I walked over to the door and shut it, then I laid down on the bed and went to sleep.

The next couple of weeks was a f*****g drag. I did what my father instructed and I kept myself from contacting Natalie. It was hard for me not to talk to her. Every time I went to my phone, I would scroll to her name, ready to call her. But, then I had to remind myself why I wasn't going to. She didn't feel anything for me. It was just the s*x and not love. As I tried to focus on my work, a knock came on my door from one of the workers.

"Mr. VinBlack, Sir?" The female called me as she walked in.

I glanced up at her and waited for her to tell me what she needed.

"What can help you with?" I asked her.

"Um, it's feeding time." She told me. "Are you too busy to feed?"

I was so focused on trying to work and forcing Natalie out of my mind that I didn't realize the time. When I glanced at the clock, the time read 2:56pm. Sighing, I dropped the pen on the desk and motioned for her to come to me. She locked the door and walked over to where I was sitting, kneeling in front of me.

, "Take your shirt off." I told her.

She stared at me and she removed the burgundy medical shirt she had on, revealing her bra and the heart-shaped locket she wore that day. She placed both her hands on my thigh and tilted her head to the side. I pulled her closer to me and pressed my lips to her neck. She gasped as I gently ran my tongue around the spot I was going to bite. She moaned, placing her hand around my neck, keeping me close. I was enjoying the way she sounded. After kissing and licking on her neck, my fangs extracted from beneath my gums. One more kiss on her delicate skin before my fangs punctured it.

"Ayden..." She moaned my name. "Oh my god."

She dug her nails into my back and I wrapped my arms around her, tightly. Her blood was sweet. The way she moaned out loud was doing something to me. I think it was because I was feeding on her. She cried in ectasy and that's when I had enough. I pulled my fangs from her neck and looked at her. She sat down on the ground, her hazel colored pupils staring up at me.

"You can leave." I told her.

She didn't budge. Well, she did, but it wasn't to get up to leave from my office. Instead, her hands moved back to my thighs, working all the way up to the button on my pants. I didn't even stop her. I leaned back in my chair, my eyes moving from her hands back to her eyes.

"Can we do something else?" She asked me after getting the button free.

"Do you know what you're doing?" I asked her.

She unzipped my pants and reached her hand inside, gripping my c**k and squeezing it. I bit my lip, closing my eyes.

"I want to f**k my boss." She told me.

She pulled my c**k from within my pants and placed her mouth around it. She was beautiful to look at. Compared to Natalie, she was extremely gorgeous. Light skinned complexion, natural curly hair, big hazel eyes, slim build and her voice was just... My god. It was soft, but in my head, I was sure to make her scream louder than how she speaks.

"Are you sure?" I asked her.

She continued to suck me, closing her eyes and nodding her head in the process. Well, if she wanted to f**k, then I'll definitely f**k her. I was not turning that down at all.
