"We are here to dance. People are not gonna attack you here!" The place between my brows creased, eyeing the two black clothed men standing each side of me. They were not for him. They were there so that they could keep away the other people from me who were dancing under the dimmed lights, especially men. And it was ridiculous! "Not attack, but they're surely starting to pick a war against me by wanting something that's mine," he spoke through gritted teeth. Those hard eyes were set over my shoulder. I looked back. Indeed, some of the men's gaze was lingering on me.I rolled my eyes. "Placing men behind me won't stop their eyes.""Then I will just pull their eyes off their sockets!" he sneered, pulling me flush against him.My lips parted in bewilderment. This man was insane!"Just because they're ogling me, you can't pull their eyes off. You wear a cross, but your mind is full of aggression, Mr. De Sylvano."A smirk tugged at his lips. The dark possessiveness and rage flared in
I froze.My eyes widened like saucers.My heart stopped beating for a moment.But the way he devoured my lips with his hands wrapped around me like a cage, made my heart soon pound down my chest. Duncan De Sylvano was kissing me… the man I wanted and admired from afar for years.With our hot breaths tangling with each other, his hungry mouth sought for entrance while his calloused hands roaming over my curves. And I gave in, letting him devour my mouth.A grunt vibrated through his hard chest that sent a delicious shiver down my core. "Fucking mine!" Clutching at his collar, I sucked on his lower lip. A moan left me at his intoxicating taste. While my fingers got lost into his dark locks, he suddenly sucked on my tongue, sending jolts of pleasure through my veins like a hot boiling lava. I tried to match up with him, but his dominance and roughness in the kiss made me sag against him. Clutching my hair in a firm grip, he continued to devour every inch of my mouth like a man hungry
His dark eyes slowly filled with lust as he gave me a slow once over. "But I'm not at all. I have been watching you all evening. But when you ignored me outside, I thought it wouldn't be easy to woo you. But seeing your state, I guess I was wrong."Anger flared up in my veins. The smell of alcohol and cigarettes from him made me cringe. I hated the stench of cigarettes."What the fuck are you doing? Are you out of your mind! Let go!" I pushed at his chest, but his tall form didn't budge much. And when I tried to move away from the wall, grabbing my hands, he pinned them on both sides of my head."I'm out of my mind. Those sexy legs just aren't leaving my head. Now don't play so hard to get, beautiful. Someone had their chance, now I want mine."When he pressed himself against mine and started palming my inner thigh, something snapped inside me. Panic burst through my veins. A familiar dread filled my mind.I tried my best to push him away, but he was too powerful for me. "I said let g
Duncan's POV "Harder!" Trying his best, he landed a punch on my jaw. It hurt, but not enough to make me even flinch. My lips curled up into a sneer. "I said harder!" Grabbing his neck, I aimed for his nose. A faint crack was heard. With a curse, he stumbled back, holding his nose. A fear flashed across his brown orbs as he glanced up at me. Drops of blood rolled down his nose that joined the sweat of his well built body. But not strong enough. Not enough to dissipate the volcano inside me. "Fight!" With my jaw clenched, nostrils flaring, I spit out. But he only took a step back. Fucking coward! Advancing him, I grabbed his arm before kicking in his gut. He tried to move away, but my blow was faster. One after another, my fist kept meeting his bloodied face. His grunts of pain and pleadings were music to my ears. His blood reminded me of that bastard back at the party. The bastard who dared to touch my Sandra. MY Sandra! My form shook with rage as I continued to make h
Cassandra's POV The girl struggled in his grip, letting out choked coughs. Leaning in, he hissed out, "Next time, my hand won't be just around your throat. It will tear it off!" With that, he threw the girl on the ground, snatching a whimper out of her. "Uscire!" His deep voice boomed across the room. I flinched. That bulky man rushed to the girl who was in a coughing fit before he dragged her out of the door. I was frozen in my place. Due to the distance and darkness, I couldn't see the girl's face properly. Who was she? "You're snooping again, cuore mio?" My heart lurched in my chest. Turning around, he took slow steps towards me. Slow and predatory. Gulping, I took one back. Once the amber glow of the fireplace fell on his sinful features, a tiny fear flickered in me. Those dark icy blue eyes were aflame. The rage swirling in them demanded death. This man was dangerous. I licked my lips, snatching his attention to my mouth. Blue eyes darkened more. "I wasn
A freaking prince?!I gaped at her."But how come no one knows about it? I didn't hear anyone else calling him with his title."She placed a glass of orange juice before me. "His Highness likes to keep his past private. He doesn't even like it when I call him by his title. But I do it out of habit."I frowned. "Why?"Who wouldn't want to flaunt it to the world? Being a royal wasn't a small deal.At my question, something crossed over her features as she flashed me an apologetic smile. "It's not my place to say it, sweetie. I already said enough."I nodded, munching on the fluffy pancakes. It tasted heavenly in my mouth. She was indeed a great cook."I understand." My gaze glanced around. "I haven't seen anyone in this mansion since last night, other than Duncan and you. Does he live here alone?""Yes. He prefers privacy. I only come here to cook for him as he doesn't eat outside. And a cleaner comes once a day to clean the mansion. We can't even enter his bedroom if not allowed." She
"Are you sure you saw that painting in his bedroom? The same one from the exhibition?" Beth asked, her eyes were wide.Sipping on my steaming mocha, I nodded. With a thin blanket wrapped around me, I leaned into the gray leather couch of Beth. While Em gaped at me, excitement dripped from her teasing smile. "I still can't believe you spent a night in Duncan De Sylvano's castle, in his bedroom!"After nagging me non-stop, they got some information out of me about what happened at the party. Of course, I didn't include the kiss and that incident. But I did share about Arianna and how dangerous Duncan De Sylvano could be. "Don't assume anything. Nothing happened. I was tired and he took me to his house, that's it. I didn't even let him enter the room," I said, glaring at her. The little conversation we had with the door between us flashed across my mind, sending butterflies to my stomach."I can't believe you kicked him out of his own bedroom. You have some guts," Beth said. "Did you a
Turning to the right, escaping a growing traffic, I let out a sigh. Thank God I borrowed Beth's car as mine was back at my building. It felt so good driving a perfectly fine car after struggling months with that clunker of mine. I glanced at my phone. No calls or messages from him for almost half an hour. He was oddly silent considering the uncountable amounts of calls and warning filled messages I got from him after Aaron left. He was furious. As much as I enjoyed getting on his nerves, I hated it when he tried to control my life. I was used to living life on my own terms. And his sudden dominance in my decisions didn't sit well with me. But even when I was mad at him, there was an excitement running deep in my veins. I was thrilled at the thought of what he would do when he would get his hands on me.I had provoked Mr. De Sylvano many times since last night. And he wasn't the one to tolerate it.Checking the location again, I drove through an alley. It was past ten, and those all
