Bloodstained Promises Chapter 29 : Make me feel alive
I wasn’t sure what was going to happen the moment those words left my lips, but I should have. Because as soon as they escaped me, his lips crashed upon mine, and I stopped fighting him. I gave into the temptation he had provided so many times. The kiss deepened as his tongue begged for entry. His hands wandered over my skin as I wrapped my arms around his neck, letting him pull me as close to him as I could possibly get.I wanted him, there was no denying that. And everything that he did screamed danger but now…I didn’t care. I wasn’t sure what had changed me, maybe it was him.I just knew that I didn’t want to be scared anymore. Of my future…of Trevor.I wanted something to take away my fears and give me back the confidence I used to have.He didn’t waste time letting his hands slide down over the curves of my body. Over my round ass towards my thighs before hoisting me up and carrying me back through the house, over the fallen Solo cups and trash laying around, and straight
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 30 : Claimed and Chosen
The rest of my weekend was spent with Nash, laid up in his bed—walking around naked—he took me on every surface of the apartment and to my surprise, had the house mysteriously cleaned up when I had been sleeping Sunday afternoon. So come Monday morning, I was sore, tired, and had a smile on my face I couldn’t get rid of. Not to mention an ache in my legs and body that was both good and painful.Every moment that we spent together was constantly replaying in my head as I pulled myself from the comforts of the bed and attempted to get ready for class.Nash had insisted this morning that he drive me to school, and though I tried to argue, he wouldn’t accept it. I wasn’t sure why I had worried about what looks I was going to get from those around me, but I was. However, to my surprise, he pulled up into the school parking lot and simply dropped me off. A small kiss, and then he was driving away.My heart fluttered with a sense of overwhelming excitement, but I hid it. I tried to a
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 31 : Secrets Unveiled
What the absolute fuck!I was too shocked to speak. I knew he was something else, and it shouldn’t have been a big deal he had guns, right? I mean, loads of people collect them or go hunting or whatever. My breath picked up as my heart raced. I stepped back into the wall as I stared at the open cubby filled with various weapons trying to wrap my mind around what I had found.It was clear Nash was hiding secrets. I just had never expected that it would be something that included shit like this. Most people who collected weapons usually had them on display or in a gun vault. I remember my stepfather having a gun case in his office in our old house. Not in a secret cubby hidden in a closet behind a bunch of clothing.That was just beyond weird and sketchy.Pulling out my phone, I thought over it for a moment, wondering if texting Nash was the right thing to do. I had only just started actually getting to know him and what I did was a complete invasion of property.But I had to k
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 32 : The Benefactor
NashThe call abruptly ended and the smile vanished from my lips. A gnawing feeling consumed me, hinting that I might return to the apartment to find it vacant. Something that set panic in motion that I hadn’t felt in so long. The notion of Vanessa leaving, as so many others had, loomed over me. Ordinarily, I'd be indifferent if someone walked out of my life, but Vanessa was different; I couldn't bear to let her go. I needed her like air in my lungs, an unfamiliar sensation that defied my circumstances. I couldn't fathom the thought of it ending.It was as if the day that she entered my life she changed me. I knew she wasn’t in love with me. That was obvious, but I couldn’t deny how I felt about her. While she had been studying for school all last year unaware of my attention, I had been watching her. Slowly growing obsessed with her. From the way she walked with such confidence, to the smile on her face and how she stuck out her tongue when she was concentrating hard w
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 33 : Late Night Interruption
NessaThe instant my head touched the pillow, I surrendered to the seductive embrace of deep sleep. However, the tranquility was short-lived. Dissonant sounds from within the apartment stirred me, and I groggily rolled over to glimpse at the crimson numerals on my alarm clock. It was past half-past two in the morning, and the fact that I was awake was a sin. A gnawing reluctance to leave the warmth of my bed gripped me, but a loud crash echoing from the living room jolted me fully awake. My heart pounded in my chest as I leaped out of bed, the urgency of the situation dispelling my drowsiness. Nash wasn’t due to be home yet, and I knew without a doubt that I had locked the damn door. Which could only mean that someone had broken in, and I was unprotected. Glancing towards my nightstand, I spotted the black metal baseball bat I had brought with me from my days of playing ball in high school. My mother had always told me that there was no better weapon for a woman than a bat and
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 34 : Admissions of Trevor's Claim
The following morning, I awoke to find myself in bed with Nash. His arm was draped around me, pulling me close. Sunlight filtered through the windows, casting a faint glow over the room as thoughts whirled through my mind and doubts crept in. I had been drawn deeper into Nash's world, and I wasn't sure if I was ready for the consequences.I knew that he had his own demons. That there were secrets, even before I allowed myself to crawl in bed with him. Nash just had this aura about him. From the way he walked, talked, and stared at me—I knew deep down he wasn’t someone to mess with.And though I had been wary, I couldn’t deny the attraction to him.The part of me that craved his touch.I told myself last night that I wasn’t going to allow what he did for a living to bother me but now that I was awake lying in bed thinking about it, I couldn’t help but wonder if I was getting myself into something that was far more dangerous than I should be part of.If I was going to be the fo
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 35 : Bar Night Dilemma
NashAnger seeped through me knowing that the woman I wanted as my own was being claimed by her stepbrother as if he had any right to have her. She was mine, and now not only did I have to deal with the benefactor wanting her, but I had to deal with this too.Making my way towards my car, I contemplated what my choices were. More than anything though...I needed a drink. I had waited for her to fall asleep and then had someone look after the apartment, and her, while I stepped out for a bit. I was too angry to stay around, too angry to look her in the eyes further.Because every time I looked at her, a sense of jealousy took over me that I couldn’t control. I wasn’t the kind of man to get jealous. Hell, I wasn’t the kind of man who acted out of control. That was the reason David had put me in this fucking position to begin with. Because I was the best of the best, and I knew how to get jobs done.The moment I pulled up to the bar, I felt myself spiraling. An angry roar escape
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 36 : Poisoned Hearts
NessaThe moment that Nash had left, I found myself sitting in the darkness pondering over what I was to do next. That was until my tears lulled me to sleep and exhaustion overtook me, the dark abyss of my nightmares haunting me the moment I had closed my eyes.Two days had passed since then, and I had yet to leave the apartment. My professors understood that I was ill, the flu to be more exact and I needed some time off.It was a lie, but I had to tell them something. Nash didn't want me to leave without someone hovering over me like my very own personal shadow and there was no way that I was going to allow him to have people following me. So it meant I was stuck at home, being watched like a child by a six-foot burly tattooed man named Pete.His eyes focused on me; his hand poised over the gun at his hip as he stood by the front door completely unmoving. Which was odd considering we were literally in the fucking apartment. The least he could have done was relax a bit, the

Bloodstained Promises Chapter 50 : Captive
~Two Months Later~Unknown POVEverything had gone as planned, at least in a way. I had worked too hard to play it cool. To pretend that I was using the Knighthood to stay on top.

The mission kept me busy and helped me forget that I would have taken off by now if I could get away with it. Now I just needed time for it all to fall apart.Everything that the Knighthood had taught him had gone out the window the moment he met that girl. I had hoped that I could have gotten him on my side. Gotten him to join my cause and overthrow everyone, but he became too obsessed with claiming her.

Bloodstained Promises Chapter 49 : Stone Cold Promises
Fear and panic filled me as Brady dragged me away from the Villa. Away from the chaos out of the south wall where men in dark green and black suits with masks, eyewear, and guns stood waiting for us. My feet halted me at our approach, but they weren’t interested in us. They stared beyond me, from where we had come with their guns raised ready to attack anyone who followed that was a threat to us leaving.“Brady, stop! What are you doing? We can’t leave him.”He spun to face me; his eyes narrowed as he snatched me by my wrist. “I am keeping you safe, Vanessa. Either you follow me willingly, or I will toss you over my shoulder and carry you the rest of the way. Do you understand me?”Brady had never been serious with me before, at least not like this. And as much as I wanted to protest, I didn’t. I let him pull me behind him to the jagged hillside, down towards a wooden staircase that led to the coast. A coast so black that I could barely see my hand in front of my face, but I put
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 48 : Battle for Love
NashIt had taken too long for me to get to Greece, but now that I was here, I felt a thirst for blood flowing through my veins that I barely recognized. Laying upon the dirt and grass hillside, I peered up through heavy binoculars towards the white villa two hundred yards in front of me. I had been waiting for this moment, and though Brady and I had a plan in place, I was ready to ditch it all and storm in there killing everyone in my path.“Get yourself together, Nash,” he snapped at me from under his breath. “We can’t divert from the plan. That’s what will get us and her killed.”“I know, I know.” Gritting my teeth, I tried to focus on what I was supposed to be doing. I wasn’t usually the person who had to be reminded. In fact, I was always the one snapping at others to get their shit together, but not right now.Right now this situation was too close to home for me. And Vanessa made it hard to think straight.Pushing away the annoying sound of Brady’s warnings, I vi
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 47 : Let the Fires Burn
When she said he was coming, I had expected the same day. Instead, though, it was two days later and I was no less a captive than I had been the day he took me. Every second that trekked on, part of me was losing hope, but a stronger part of me refused to give up. And as for Sophia, I hadn’t seen her in twenty-four hours. The idea that she may have been caught troubled me. She had been nothing but friendly towards me, but what if someone found out that she was plotting with me to escape?Standing in the sunroom of the large villa, the glass walls and roof let the sunshine down on me. The warmth of its rays tried to light the fire in my heart, but no matter the light I felt empty and alone. Trevor hadn’t tried anything with me since that night on the stairs, but every time I was around him, I had to endure his slow caresses against my back and hips that made me want to tear off my skin.I hated him. More than anything in this world, I wished him dead.He had taken to planning our
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 46 : Secret Friends
NessaMy night was endless as I had tossed and turned within the lush bed dreading what was to come. I feared that Trevor was going to come to me. That he was going to slip into my bed in the middle of the night forcing himself upon me. The thoughts terrorized me every second of the day and night for a long time in my life. I thought I was strong. That I could fight him and free myself, but every second I spent here locked up waiting, I felt my sanity losing control.Curled up within the thick white blankets, the soft pink silk shorts and top set that was given to me clung to my skin, I contemplated my situation as I had done since I got here.Fighting him was no use, and though I was never one to really wallow in self-pity, I sure as hell was right now. The dark depression that hung over my head was like a gray cloud that I couldn’t get rid of.“Miss…” Sophia’s soft voice echoed from the bedroom doorway. My eyes slowly drifted towards her as I took in the same lonely figure
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 45 : Dinner with a Monster
“Thank you everyone for coming,” Trevor’s words rang loud and clear across the twelve-seat cherry wood dining table, standing next to me at the head of the table and addressing the men and women that sat around us. I didn’t know who they were, and I didn’t care to.I had tried to stay in the warmth of the shower for as long as I could, avoiding what was going to end up happening once I was finished, but Sophia wouldn’t allow me that luxury. The moment I stepped outside of the bathroom wrapped in a white fluffy towel, she was waiting for me with the most concerned expression on her gaze as she realized I was far from ready.“Tonight, I want to welcome back the woman I have loved for far too long. She was away at school, and now has returned to take her place by my side while I begin the transition with my father to take his place in leadership.”I didn’t have the slightest fucking clue what he was talking about and honestly, I didn’t care. But I was sick and tired of him telling p
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 44 : A villa in Greece
I wasn’t sure how long we had driven or where we were going. But the drive to wherever Trevor was taking me was breathtaking. All around me, the sea glistened outside the window of the vehicle. The sun shone off the water, giving it a heavenly glow that I had never seen before. I had always wanted to travel by myself across the ocean to visit the rest of the world, but I had never dared to.The last time I had come across the ocean was with my mother, and Trevor had made even that visit almost unbearable.The vehicle turned off the main road and traveled closer to the sea before turning down another road that led towards a large white mansion on the side of a hill with multiple other buildings around it, followed by a massive stone wall. The place was huge, far bigger than anything I had seen before, and with it, more guards.Except these paced the walls with large guns in their hands, and a look of ‘take no shit’ plastered on their faces as we passed through the gates.“Where
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 43 : Danger in the Sky
VanessaThey say that when you hit rock bottom, the only path is up, but for me, I wasn’t sure how true that actually was. One minute I was happy with a man I enjoyed being around more than anything, and the next minute, I was a prisoner to a man who tormented me for years. My freedom was just outside my grasp, and I was thrown into darkness by a drug-induced coma only to awaken feeling heavier than I had before.My eyes fluttered open slowly, hope filling me that Nash would appear at my side any moment, but instead, I was met with leather chairs and dim lighting. Grogginess once again filtered through my mind, and it didn’t matter which way I tried to move, my entire body felt heavy as if a weighted blanket was placed over me, and I couldn’t get comfortable.With my eyes focused, I took in the overhead storage bins with wall-to-wall cream coloring and a variety of other beige leather seats as well as small tables and men. The same men I had seen with Trevor.Oh god…it was t
Bloodstained Promises Chapter 42 : Battle for Freedom
NashThe moment that we got closer to the warehouse, I pulled the car off and made sure that we were prepared. It was no surprise to me that he had men everywhere because as we continued on after arming ourselves to the teeth, rapid-fire descended down upon us as if it was hail pelting the car. I swerved in and out. Brady was trying to help with cover fire as I tried to drive and shoot out the left side, cars coming up behind us, hitting the back end, and Sasha screaming in the back seat. I knew it wasn't a good idea to bring her. But I did it anyway because she had insisted.Was it foolish of me? Perhaps. But I had one thing in mind and that focus was to get Vanessa back.Never in my life have I ever considered love or the true meaning behind the word. I loved my mother once Upon a time. I had family I had considered loving. But nothing really ever made sense until I met Vanessa. At first, it was just someone that I had wanted. A conquest, perhaps? Who knows? But over time
