MIRA"…come here,Mira." Those words, softly spoken but edged with so much dangerous, sexual heat, has me clinging desperately to the seat. I stare helplessly at his rapidly darkening eyes. They are no longer their usual stormy gray. They're dark now, almost black. His gaze roves over me, and suddenly, I find it difficult to breath. My skin feels too tight, too heated for my body.Mason reaches over and depresses a black button. A glass window comes up, obstructing the driver from having even the slightest view of whatever is going on in the backseat.The moment takes me down horrible memory lane. Being in an enclosed space with this man, I should be panicking, looking for means to escape. Instead, I am breathy with barely restrained anticipation.Strangely, I want to see where all of this goes."Come here, Mira." He growls. "Remember, I make the rules, and I do not like repeating myself. You know the consequences of disobeying me."Of course I do. He might end up sending all of us t
WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXPLICITLY DESCRIBED SEXUAL ACTIVITIES. PLEASE, DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH SUCH SCENES. MASONI wanted to punish her so badly, my body practically shook with the need. I cannot remember ever feeling the kind of anger that cackled in my veins when she revealed her flawless body before the cameras and my head of security a few hours ago.I will punish her for that. This is just the beginning.I look down at her with half closed eyes. Right now, her experienced tongue probes and swirls around the head of my cock. It feels so good, I believe I have died and gone to heaven.I hate the fact that she does this so well. I hate the fact that those lush, plump lips have given pleasure to another man. I detest the fact that those beautiful green eyes hide so much from me. I know that at some point in her life, someone else held the ultimate power over her, the power to fucking hurt her. And that doesn't sit well with me…at all.Her hot mouth cov
MIRAMy cheeks heat as I fix the last button of my trench coat. What the fuck was I thinking? How the hell did I go from hating Mason's guts to almost melting into a pool of heated butter at his touch? I always pride myself on my focus, but how did I get so distracted?I risk a peek at him to find his dark head bent over his laptop, his fingers flying over the keys.Asides from my irregular breathing and the foggy windows, there's no indication that New York's most eligible bachelor had just come all over a common stripper. I struggle to regain my composure and look comfortable, meanwhile, Mason looks as gorgeous and as composed as ever.I feel a slight pang. What did I think? That he would be affected by whatever just happened between us? I am just his slut. He made it clear from the get go that I am only here to give him sexual pleasure, and that's it. I thought I had accepted that. So why does my heart twist at his indifference? Why does it feel like I want…more?I shake my head
MASON"No. Please no!"Her pained cries echo in my head, twisting a heart I never knew I had in knots. The pain in her eyes were so haunting, so soul wrenching, I wanted to break something.Someone hurt her, and all I want to do is strangle that person to death with my bare hands. I want his blood. I fucking thirst for it. But I left that life a long time ago, and hell if I am ever going back.One way or another, the person who laid violent hands on Mira will pay. And I swear on my life, I will make the earthly scumbag wish he were never born.That's an oath I am willing to keep.***MIRAWe make the rest of the way in stiff silence. I'm guessing the elevator is going all the way up because it is taking quite a while to get there.The elevator finally comes to a stop, and the doors slide open, revealing the most luxurious pent house I have ever been privileged to see.Mason leaves my shocked, gaping form behind and walks briskly into the apartment, disappearing into a hall way of so
MIRA"Mason, why don't we give Mira and her sisters a moment.""Yes, Mason." Vanessa taunts.Mason turns cold, dark eyes on her."Do not push me, Miss Rodriguez."Vanessa opens her mouth to speak but I grab her arm and shake my head. Her eyes widen in surprise. I am usually the one who loves arguments and confrontations, but I know a fight with Mason Lachlan is one we will never win. Damon gets to his feet and tucks both hands in the pockets of his trench coat. I hear Anna's soft gasp and stiffle a smile. Yes, Mason Lachlan's bestfriend is one gorgeous daredevil.He isn't looking at Anna though. His expressive aqua eyes are trained firmly on Vanessa. She folds her arms and stares back at him. The sparks flying between them is quite blinding.My, my, my, Vanessa Rodriguez. Frolicking with a hunk from the rival side. How rude. I love it.Vanessa and I have been through a lot together. If Damon is her happily ever after, I will stop at nothing to make sure they're together.Then suddenl
WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXPLICITLY DESCRIBED SEXUAL ACTIVITIES. PLEASE, DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY SUCH.MIRAFor a moment, I freeze, an odd sense of deja vú numbing my senses. I tried so hard to forget that night in Scuderi's dungeon. I tried so hard to forget the gray eyed stranger I might probably never see again. Apparently, Mason is hell-bent on relieving all the memories I would rather keep hidden.His eyes narrow to slits and I raise my arms protectively over my chest. I had my hands all over his cock just moments ago, but strangely, the idea of being completely naked before this man makes me feel oddly vulnerable."Do not make me repeat myself, Mira."I stay still, frozen to the spot. My heart thunders so wildly, I'm afraid it might beat out of my chest anytime now. His heated eyes rove over my still clothed form and he shakes his head in disdain."Fucking Italian pride."Then he stalks forward and my pulse quickens."Fine! Fine. I'll do it myself."My fing
MIRAI collapse against the counter, trying and failing horribly to catch my breath. My body buzzes with a thousand different sensations, pleasure being foremost of them. I hear movements around the spacious bathroom but I'm too weak to check it out at the moment. I feel stiff all over. At this point, I would be grateful for the ability to move my limbs. I can't even take off my blind fold.Strong arms lift me and panic sears my veins."No. No more, please." I beg. "I can't take anymore."Mason molds my naked, shivering form against his with one hand, and unties the knot of my blindfold with the other. My tired gaze meets his dark, thoughtful ones. His eyes do not spark with heat, or anger, or desire. Instead, the gray orbs almost appear…worried. Shocker."Are you hurt?" He mutters gruffly."Yes." I deadpan. "I hurt all over."A deep "v" appears between his brows. Who is this man?"Are you sore?" My cheeks heat at the question and I lower my eyes."Answer the question, Mira.""Yes
MIRAMason is touching me.I writhe and moan, spreading my legs wider as his hard body moves between my thighs, thrusting harshly into my wet, slippery sex.His lips and tongue zero in on my nipple and a loud cry escapes my lips. He thrusts harder and faster against me and I squeal, even as I raise my hips to meet with his punishing rhythm.His eyes meet mine, and he utters those words,"Come, Mira. Fucking come for me." And I explode, clenching his thick cock tighter and tighter within me as my orgasm goes on and on.He thrusts one more time and a groan escapes me.That groan wakes me up.My eyes fly open. I lie on the strange, soft bed for a moment, completely disoriented. My body buzzes with the aftershocks of my orgasm, confirming the fact that I had just experienced my first ever wet dream and Mason Lachlan was the star of the show.I still feel a slight ache between my thighs at his rigorous orgasmic sessions just a few hours ago. Speaking of hours, what time is it? How long wa
MIRA “Wake up, princess. It’s getting late.” I blink sleepily, smiling to myself when I catch a whiff of heavenly smelling cologne. With my eyes still firmly shut, I reach out to the source of the delicious scent and my arms instantly come in contact with broad, cloth covered shoulders. With a determined tug, I pull the shoulders closer to myself and it lands against me with a soft thud, then I proceed to sink my face into the neck of the owner of the shoulder and get a better whiff of that addictive scent. “Mmm… you smell so good.” I feel soft, warm lips against my cheek. “Thank you, baby.” That jolts me out of my sleepy state. I open my eyes and I’m immediately assailed by piercing gray eyes. I blink up at him for a second. “Good morning, baby girl.” He whispers. I swallow. “Good morning.” I feel every part of my body tense up, mostly because I believe I have an early morning arousal and the world’s most handsome man is lying almost fully against me. I try to move awa
MASONI should be holding Mira right now. I should be reassuring her of my unlimited devotion. But her confessions earlier struck a chord deep in my heart."Fuck!" I curse into the empty office.Unable to keep sitting still, I walk to the mini wet bar and pour myself a glass of my favourite Cognac. I tip the shot glass and down the contents in one gulp. The sharp burn does nothing to lessen the pain inside of me. It does nothing to quench the fire that burns so desperately for one green eyed, stubborn-as-fuck female.I slam the shot glass on the counter to stop myself from throwing it against the wall.Mira wouldn't want to stay with me unless I admit that I'm in love with her. Am I in love with Mira?The sudden realization has me freezing in my tracks. It hits me out of nowhere, numbing my senses.I walk back to my chair and sink into it. It is either that or fall flat on my face. I've always seen myself as incapable of love or anything related to the term. Turns out, the little
MIRAMason and I fall into each other in a tangled heat of fused mouths and moving hands. He picks me from the bathtub and I hold on to him, enjoying the delicious slide of his wet body against mine.“Wrap your legs around me, baby.” He whispers urgently against my lips, and I comply. He grabs my arse, his fingers digging into the soft skin. The combination of pain and pleasure almost leaves me reeling.My core is already slick and dripping from arousal. My entire body feels like I’ve been set alight with a flaming torch.Mason pins me atop one of the counters in the bathroom. He spreads my legs and steps between them. His hot, hard, throbbing erection brushes against the swollen nub of my clit and I throw my head back, a slight whimper escaping my lips.“Mason. Mason please…”He runs his hot lips over the skin of my neck.“Please what, baby? What do you want?” He whispers against me. “Whatever you want is yours. Whatever you want, baby girl.”“Touch me. Touch me, please.” My voice is
MIRA“Bathe with me.” He says confidently like he hasn’t just made a declaration that has my heart spilt all over his thousand dollar shirt.All traces of sleep departs from me and I stare at him, transfixed. He looks serious. Dead serious.“Is…is this still part of the challenge? Getting me to fall in love with you, I mean.” Because if it is, unfortunately for me, that ship has long sailed. I need to know where all this is coming from.For a moment, Mason says nothing. He simply stares at me, those stormy grays causing havoc to my raging nerves.“Do I look like I’m joking, little flower? Challenge aside, I’ve decided that I want you. I need you with me every single fucking moment.” My breath hitches. “You’re not there for five seconds and I suddenly can’t breathe properly. I remember that whatever is going on here is temporary and I want to smash something against the wall.” He pauses, his chest heaving rapidly. I have never seen him so…worked up. “ I think I’m obsessed with you, Mi
MIRAIt’s eight o’clock and Mason still isn’t back. I left Vanessa’s a while ago after spending enough quality time with my sister and promising to come back. Actually, Darth came up and declared in his usual quiet, lethal manner that the boss wanted me back home. I would have defied him and stayed back, but I want to get this tuition issue out of the way once and for all.That was seven o’clock, almost an hour ago. Now, I sit in the main room and stare unseeingly at the beautiful mini aquarium, worrying myself to death. I started calling him thirty minutes ago. So far, he hasn’t answered any of my calls. Neither has he returned them. He said he was going after those who hurt me. What if they hurt him? My heart squeezes at the thought of him probably lying broken and hurt somewhere with no means of getting help, and I call his phone over and over again. It keeps going to voice mail. I throw the stupid thing against the wall, watching it crack open and fall to the ground with a sick
MASONMira and I have been back to civilization for all of three days and I already want to load her up and take her back. I admit that our little vacation time together was…positively enlightening, but I never wanted it to end. Sadly, the real world was calling. I had to come back and make plans, put things in place.Mira trusts me to take revenge on everyone who hurt her in the past, and that is exactly what I’m going to do. I haven’t told her about our little encounter when she was fucking nineteen years old. The very thought of telling her makes my insides turn to ice.She might run. She might want to leave me. I won’t let her. Losing Mira would destroy me. I never counted on wanting a woman so much, not seeing or hearing from her for up to an hour would make me itch, but Mira changed…everything. So if keeping this little secret from her for the meantime would guarantee that she stays with me a little longer, that is exactly what I’m going to do.“What’s the plan?” I turn my
MASON Mira might seem a little dazed, a little confused even, but I meant what I said. I protect her now. Her care is my responsibility. I know everything might go to shit later when she finds out that my uncle is in fact Escobar Scuderi and I’m the nephew she was “given to,” but when that time comes, I will be ready. She may have an anger fit, she might cry, she might even throw things at me. But even then, I’m not letting her go anywhere. She’s stuck with me for life now, even if I have to force a ring on that finger to prove it. I freeze as that thought flits through my mind, but the thought of Mira in my house, legally mine with my ring on her finger to prove it leaves me hot…and hard. I want to bind her to me in every possible way. I don’t really care if she accepts it as first. In the long run, she will come to understand that there won’t ever be another man in her life except me. As it should be. When I saw Mira for the first time at Le Delegharo, it felt like I was being p
MIRAYou know that point in your life when it feels like you have absolutely no idea which path you're headed?That part where you feel like you had everything all figured out and suddenly, the way you chose doesn't feel like the right way anymore and you're all toggled up with confusion? That is exactly how I feel right now.Mason's eyes spark with conviction and something else, an emotion I have seen one two many times in those gray depths…determination. "I'm the one who owes you not the other way round, Mason."One of his perfectly shaped brows shoot up."And what exactly do you feel you owe me, Miss Fernandez? Sex? Mistress duties?"Okay, now I'm confused. I lift my chin, my gaze equally tinged with determination."I'm sorry, did I perhaps miss the memo? Isn't that exactly why I'm here?"Mason stares down at me for a while. An emotion that feels too dangerously close to indecision flits in his gaze."I don't want you to just be my mistress anymore."I freeze." What?"He rolls off
MASONAfter two, or was it three more rounds of hard sex, Mason and I finally find ourselves back in the bathroom where he gives me soothing, refreshing bath. He literally scrubs me clean.When we’re both squeaky clean, Mason pins me beneath him on the bed. My legs are completely entangled with his. There’s absolutely no escaping him.”I like you like this.” He murmurs, running a thumb over my cheeks.”Oh? Like what?””Naked in my bed. Completely mine.”My pulse spikes and my heart begins to burn with a warm glow. Calm down, stupid heart.”I’m not utterly yours, Mason.” I challenge.His eyes equally spark with a dangerous, gray gleam.”Want me to show you all over again?” He asks, running his fingers over my thighs suggestively.”Are you joking?”His face is a perfect mask of seriousness,”Do you think I’m joking?”My mouth falls open and for a few seconds, I’m not able to utter a single word.”We just had…sex a couple minutes ago. I’m incredibly sore.” I point out incredulously.His
