Theirs To Want

4. Natalie

Ayden was taking a long time in the bathroom, so I got out of bed to check on him.

"Ayden?" I called his name as I knocked on the bathroom door. "Are you okay?"

"....Yeah." He said.

"Can I come in?"

"...Yeah."

I walked into the bathroom and looked at him. He was sitting on the toilet with his hand around his c**k.

"Can I help you with that?" I asked him.

"No."

I rolled my eyes and leaned against the wall.

"Ayden, what do you want from me?"

Ayden chuckled.

"Wow, really? You're just going to sit there and ask that?"

"Oh my gosh. Maybe we shouldn't have had sex."

7 Ayden smacked his lips and got off the toilet. He walked past me and I followed him. I watched as he grabbed his clothes off the floor, ready to throw them on.

"I thought you were spending the night?"

"No, I'm going home."

"Okay Ayden, what the hell do you want from me?"

Ayden finished getting dressed and turned to me.

"What the f**k did you think? That I was just going to f**k you without feelings?"

"Ayden...You know what I've been through. I had an abusive ex and all I wanted was someone I can be intimate with. Nothing more."

"Fine."

Ayden threw his shoes on and walked past me to the door.

"That's what you want, then that's fine. However, you're not getting that from me."

"Then, maybe we shouldn't f**k anymore."

"Again, fine by me."

He turned and walked out the room. As soon as I heard the front door slam shut, I sat on the bed and began crying. He just didn't understand. How could he? I've been through so much. I wiped my tears from my face and looked towards the window. The phone rang on the nightstand and I reached over to it, taking my phone and glancing at the caller ID. I smiled when I realized the number was from the hospital, so of course I answered it.

"Hey, Jess." I smiled to myself.

"Hey. What you doing?"

"Nothing. Is everything okay? Did you need anything? How's the baby?"

"Ha, the baby is fine. She's knocked out with her father."

I smiled again.

"How are you?"

I sighed.

"I'm fine."

"Hm. Why do I hear a detesting tone in your voice?"

I chuckled.

"Is it Ayden?"

"I think... We need to take a break."

"Uh oh... What happened?"

"I think the fact that we saw you guys together with your baby was what did it. Something sparked in us and we ended up having s*x. However, Ayden, I think he wants a family and right now, I'm not ready for that."

"Hm. Well, did you tell him?"

"No, but I think he sensed it when we got into that argument a while ago."

"Natalie, you need to let him know what's really going on. I understand they could read minds, but Ayden, he's... You're basically his first."

I squinted my eyes at her.

"What do you mean?"

"He was a virgin before he met you. So, you know how those guys are. They start clinging to the ones they messed with due to the soul connection."

"I... I didn't know that."

"You know how guys' prides are. Just talk to him."

I sighed.

"I'll call him. If he doesn't answer, then, I'm not going to force it."

Jesslyn chuckled. As we were getting into a more serious conversation, another call came in on my line. I already knew who it was, so I had to let Jesslyn go.

"You need a break, girl." Jesslyn told me. "Call me later, okay?"

"I will. You get some rest, girl."

"Okay. Bye."

I clicked over and sighed.

"Yes, Dylan?" I chuckled into the line.

"Hey, girl." Dylan, my manager, said on the other line. "So, I have some news for you."

"Please, tell me it's good."

"Ha, majority of them are good."

Yeah, I hated bad news.

"Ugh, okay. Tell me."

"Not tonight. I want you to get some rest, but we can schedule a lunch date if that's okay."

"Of course. What time tomorrow?"

"I'm thinking 1ish."

"That'll be great. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yes. I'll be coming by about noon."

"Awesome. Bye."

We hung up and of course, I had to force myself to go to sleep.

"So, what's up?" I asked as we waited for our food to come.

"So, I have good news and bad news. Which one?"

Dylan placed the straw in his mouth and took a huge gulp of his water. I sighed and shrugged.

"I guess, the good news." I responded.

"You have a busy two weeks. Las Vegas famous photographer, Dean Ramos, wants to higher you."

My eyes widened when he said my favorite photographer.

"Shut up!" I squealed. "Dean-f*****g-Ramos?!"

"Calm down, honey."

"How can I? He's the best. His work is so amazing."

"Ha, okay. Well, he wants to work with you for this week and next week. It'll be a short summer/ fall theme. So, tomorrow, you will come down to his suite and he will get you prepared."

"Oh my gosh... You're not joking."

Dylan shook his head.

"I'm not, sweetheart. Now, are you ready for the bad news?"

My smile disappeared.

"Yes."

He sighed and shook his head.

"Lifestyles doesn't want to hire you."

"Wait, what? Why not?"

"In Bryce's words, you are boring."

Wow, boring. What the hell did he mean about that?

"What the hell? Dylan, I've been looking forward to working for them for months. What the hell happened, Dylan?"

"I'm sorry, honey. But, Bryce said he's looking for women with a family and baby. I mean, you don't have that, am I correct?"

I sighed and shook my head.

"All I have is a guy I'm messing around with." I told him.

Hell, I wasn't even sure we were still doing that after last night. Dylan's eyes widened.

"You're f*****g someone?" He asked, placing his chin in his hands. "Do tell."

" We've messed around like twice now. I don't know if it'll be serious."

"Is he cute?"

I chuckled.

"He's sexy. Very sexy. He has this... Oh my god, his body is just that of a f*****g God. He's just beautiful. He's tall, not too skinny, but not too big. He's absolutely right. His eyes are absolutely gorgeous. A light grey that'll draw you in and he has black short hair that he slicks back...."

Just thinking about Ayden is turning me on. Dylan snapped his fingers in my face and when I glanced at him, he laughed.

"Does this mystey guy have a name?"

I nodded.

"Ayden.."

"Just Ayden?"

"Ayden VinBlack."

Dylan's eyes widened.

"Is his brother Alias?"

I nodded. Dylan leaned back and nodded his head.

"Do me a favor?"

"Okay."

"If you can get those two to come out today, then I think we can get you that permanent contract from Lifestyles. Bryce is looking for hot, sexy billionaires and those two are indeed, billionaires."

"What time?"

"Come around 4. Make sure you have the both of them, okay? I'll let him know. You just show up with the VinBlacks, okay?"

Our food came and we began to eat. Now, I needed to convince the two to be able to come with me. And that was going to require Jesslyn's help.
