My Undoing

Chapter 14- Painted Veil

Owen's P.o.v

She asked me to stay,maybe I shouldn't. She tells me me to sleep beside her, I climb into bed with her...What am I thinking?God why does she smell so f*cking good?I feel her body relax against mine and I put my arm around her and it feels so... so f*cking good to be near her. Blake what are you doing you can't do this. I ask her about the bruises and I can feel her tense up. She turns over and looks up at me with those eyes, emerald and full of emotion. That's when I know she's hiding something. I put my hand on her cheek and let her know she's safe, then without warning she kisses me.

God her lips feel so soft, she let's out a soft moan as I put my hands on her on her hips.My heart is racing and she presses her body up against mine and I can feel myself losing control.She straddles me, her hair wild, like her kisses. She starts grinding her hips in a circular motion and her fingers are lost in my hair.I gently kiss her neck and she smells like warm pulsating vanilla, god I wanna take her right here and right now. The way she looks at me, with so much hunger and lust, her hands try to undress me and I don't want this to end.But there's a voice in my head screaming if I want her, really want her I have to show her she's more than this. So much more..But she's making this so F*CKING HARD.Stop her now Blake or you never will.

I tell her we should go to sleep, that she needs it and I can see the hurt in her eyes.It takes everything in me to not grab her and kiss her again. She turns over and I can hear her let out a soft sob. I wrap my arms around her and hold her tight and breathe her in. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and she feels so soft against me. Her skin is so beautiful, I wanna kiss every inch of her but not like this.I feel her fall asleep against me and kiss the back of her neck.

When I wake up it's still dark out, she's pressed up against me and she looks so beautiful and relaxed.Her wild curls cover her face and I slowly get up so I don't wake her. When she feels a shift in the bed she let's out a sensual moan and I have to bite my lip. It's five am I don't wanna leave her but I need to go into the office so I text Avery.

Blake: Good Morning Avery, please order breakfast for Olivia and make sure it arrives by 9AM.

I look over at her and she sprawls out on the bed, I look over at the table and then I remember what she said. I send another text to Avery to have 2 dozen white roses and tiger lillies sent by this afternoon to her apartment as well. I get her medicine and a bottle of water and put it on the table. I write her a note and kiss her on the cheek before I leave. I need to get control of myself....

Olivia's P.o.v

I wake up to the sunlight screaming at me.I reach out to the other side of the bed but find it empty. I sit up slowly everything hurts. I look around the room and see no traces of Owen. He left... of course he did, why would he stay after last night.I look at the table and see medication, water, a note and MY PHONE...Jesus..I plug it into the charger, while I wait for it to turn on I take my medicine.When my phone turns on I have a dozen missed calls and texts from Kaeli swearing she's going to murder me if don't answer my phone to let her know I didn't die.And one text from him...

Leo:Sleep well Via...

I text him back with hesitation....afraid of what to say,afraid of what he'll say. But he called me by my nickname, the name he used to call me by... the name that made me weak...

Me:Thank you for the flowers, they're beautiful !

I bite down on my finger nail and stare at the screen.... a few minutes go by and I look over at the note on the table and read it..

Olivia sleep, rest and relax beautiful I have to go into the office but I'll be back later. Breakfast is on it's way. I can't wait to see you and those lips soon

X Owen

Just then my phone vibrates with a response from him...I don't know what to do I'm racked with guilt but I don't know who the guilt belongs to...

Leo: You're welcome, you deserved to wake up to something beautiful... if you're free I'd like to see you.

I don't know what to do or what to say ....do I taste the vinegar or sweet honey?.....My head begins to hurt and so does everything else.
