CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 105. I'll let you on a secret
Erica“Where. Were. You?”He stepped back from me and replied coolly, “It’s none of your fûcking business.”I slapped him. I didn’t stop to think. I should have. But I was too furious to consider my actions, to think twice. I was hurting. Fûck. My chest ached like he had just slammed a fist there. And I didn’t even regret it a moment later when my cheek burned from his palm as he reciprocated in the same way.We stood there, glaring at each other. At last, he said, “I told you again and again, not to cross this line with me.”“I hate you.”He remained silent and looked at me like I was crazy. But my chest burned with something close to betrayal. I shouldn’t be surprised after the way he had been with the women at the party the other night but I had believed him when he had said that he only wanted me. But now seeing the red lipstick mark on his shirt, I was fûcking furious and felt cheated. And stupid. Maybe I was crazy, even as I fought the feelings, some might’ve slipped through the

AntonioI looked down at my little captive. The woman I bought from an auction for my revenge and then realised that I also wanted her to serve the purpose for which she was placed on that stage to be auctioned. To be under my command and to sate my lust that she provoked with every insult she hurtled at me.With each day that passed she revealed to me an aspect of her that intrigued and made me want to bare every inch of her, inside and out, so I could dominate her however I liked. To bring her down on her knees not because I wanted but also because she desired it. I have several women kneeling before me but it was different when it’s a woman like her. Erica Cavanagh had demons that had forged rock hard walls around her, made her into a woman who refused to bow down and I admired that about her. And I wanted to be the man she’d bow down for. Only me.She told me she hated me and I believed her. But she also behaved like a woman cheated, heartbroken and furious when she saw the red li

Erica I scrambled off the bed as Antonio left the room. My whole body was warm and prepared for him but now cold washed over me as the door clicked shut. Suddenly, the night outside seemed dangerously dark and foreboding as I walked to the windows and looked out. The ground below was scattered with lights but the trees remained dark and unmoving. Except when I looked long enough, I swear I could see a red laser beam just like the one I had seen trained on Antonio when he was ready to kill Jeremiah Sokolov. I didn’t realise but I tensed as my mind went back to Antonio going downstairs. I turned from the window and I knew he had told me to stay here locked inside but I remembered what Mario had said would happen if Antonio got hurt. I refused to admit that I was really worried about him as I went to the closet and pulled on a pair of jeans I had discarded earlier. Just as I grabbed the doorknob another gunshot sounded making me flinch and despite knowing the best I sent up a prayer abo

EricaMy whole body tensed as the arm around my waist tightened and the blade of the knife dug into my throat threatening to slice it open. Until now, with Antonio I hadn’t worried about getting hurt like this but now I wasn’t certain anymore. My wide eyes went to Antonio, I didn’t know why but I looked at him like he was the only one who could save me. I couldn’t see the man behind me but he felt dangerous in a way I was unable to put into words. “Well, look at that, we meet at last.” The man from behind me drawled, making goosebumps rise on my skin. I couldn’t detect his accent as there was nothing that would tell me from where he was. He couldn’t be with Z, otherwise why would he hold me at knife point, like he wasn an enemy.Antonio arched his brow. “Who the fûck are you?”“Aww... You didn’t recognise me. I’m hurt, Rossi.” He tsked, like he was having a chit chat over tea, not keeping me hostage while he talked to Antonio. “Or, maybe I should call you the Italian arsehole, the na
Last Updated : 2022-08-13CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 109. I won't hurt you
AntonioI should probably look after Ephraim as he was bleeding pretty badly from the bullet that grazed his side but all my focus was on the woman in my arms who had a little cut on her throat that was making me see red. But it wasn’t just that, the bigger problem was the fact that Erica hadn't said a word all the way from downstairs to the bedroom as she had let me carry her without a single protest. And even now as I sat her down on the bed she didn't say anything. I had no idea what was going on inside her head. After the things Zurich had said I was ready for her questions but till now she hadn't asked any. And the way she was... Like she was in a shock or behaving like she wasn’t seeing me was making me feel out of control. Not to mention, Alex fûcking Carter had already trampled all over my nerves when he appeared out of nowhere and then to top it off he made her bleéd in front of my eyes and somehow he knew what he was doing because he got exactly what he wanted.After makin

EricaI was spiraling and I have no idea how to stop it. Yesterday, I spent my day alone sitting at the edge of the cliff looking out at nothing and everything. For some reason I have yet to open the note Alex had slipped in my pocket. I didn’t know why I was so hesitant to read its contents but I was sure whatever was in there would change the course of my actions. Right now, I have no clue what I was going to do next. The only thing I knew was somewhere, somehow I started to have other feelings besides physical attraction for Antonio. If not for that, I wouldn’t have felt the hurt I had felt when I learned that he brought me here because of Gabriel. Not for me.But then just yesterday morning he had told me it was no longer the only reason. I didn’t know if I should believe him. Logically, I shouldn’t. He was the villain but when he looked at me with those dark golden eyes he didn’t feel like the villain to me. He felt like something else...I shook my head and frowned at my own tho

Erica “Then hurt me.” I was tired of playing this cat and mouse game with him. I wanted him and it has taken me too long to realise that it wasn’t just physical attraction. And now that I knew that, I didn’t want to waste my time however long I have here with him. But most of all, I wanted to just have him for this one time without anyone intruding between us. For one night, I didn't want to think of him as the man who kidnapped me and the man who wanted to hurt my brother in-law but as someone that I needed to erase all the past experiences I’d had. For him to be the only man that would touch me like no one else had and to be the one to make me feel wanted. And I knew he could do that, something tells me he was the only one who could do that. All that time I had searched for one specific man, I hadn't found one who’d felt right and it was useless because the man I was looking for was here in Italy while I searched the dating apps uselessly. But then he came for me. Maybe it wa

AntonioAs I stood there looking at the wall that have so many objects to inflict pain, all I really wanted to do was to turn around, gather her in my arms and take her to the bed. But she wants something else. She asked for the pain I could give her, so she’ll have it. And I couldn't do what I really wanted United she begged. Tonight, I’ll make her.I picked up a flogger with six tails and knotted beads at the ends. I caressed the leather strips, it was soft to the touch but when they'll fall on her softer flesh they’ll hurt like hell. They’ll leave behind marks as many as I wanted. I turned around to walk back to her with the flogger in my hand.When I met her gaze, her eyes were already focused on me. With my black tie between her lips, digging into her cheeks and her wrists bound above her head while she stood there on her toes entirely nakéd, she looked helpless. Except, one look into her dark brown eyes told a different story. She was nervous, sure. But she was also excited. Th

CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 145. The World Stopped Spinning
Ephraim“Your job is to do whatever I tell you to do. Protect her.”I gritted my teeth at his absurd command, all these years I had been his shadow, spent all my time protecting him whenever he stepped out of that castle where he lived like a recluse. And now here he was telling me to protect her but not him. I’d have protected her but not at the cost of him, not if it meant letting him be in danger.I pressed on the accelerator as the car that was following us came to the side and slammed at the back of ours, for a moment I lost control of the steering wheel and the car tilted to the one side. I glanced in the rear-view mirror to catch Antonio cupping Erica’s head to prevent her head from slamming into the wind
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 144. Protect Her
AntonioMy office door opened with a bang for the second time that day and Ephraim stood there with Thor barking behind him. Before I could really give him a lashing to remind him of his place and for letting that dog into my office, I noticed the set of his jaw and the paleness of his face and without a second thought, my mind went straight to Erica. “What is it?”Instead of answering me, he asked, “Have you talked to Erica?”Even though I had wanted to call her, I hadn’t. And it was his fault. Because Ephraim’s words had unsettled me and I didn’t want to prove him right so no matter how much I was tempted to call her, I had refrained but now as I saw the expression on Ephraim’s face I regretted not doing so. And more than that as I slipped out my phone and dialled her number I regretted not putting a tracker on her phone after she broke the bracelet when the call ended without ringing on the other side.I had wanted to give her some privacy to talk to her family and it was the reaso
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 143. I don't feel so good
EricaI excused myself from the table to go to the bathroom, I wanted to ask Riley if she wanted to join me but she was busy talking to the guy sitting opposite her. But just as I took a step away from the table, Leo also stood up. I asked, “Where are you going?”“I’ll walk with you.”“Oh, you don’t have to.” I said, feeling embarrassed that he could easily read how I was hesitant and felt a little out of place here which was why I needed company to not look like a lost child.He ignored me and grabbed my hand as he made his way to the left side of the sitting area of the cafe where there was a door that led to a mildly lit corridor and pointed out the washroom for me. He said, “I know that your bodyguards aren't here today, so it’s understandable if you don't feel okay to roam around the unfamiliar place all alone.”I never thought about it in such a way but I guess I was almost carefree at the base level knowing nothing would hurt me, for instance no masked man would materialize out
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 142. We're not in love
Antonio“Sit down and explain yourself before I lose it.” I said to Ephraim as I entered the study after making sure that Elijah knew not to lose sight of her in any way and also to make sure she doesn't see him, if the former happened I’ll make sure he loses his fûcking life.Erica had asked me to stop sending men with her before too, saying that she felt like the odd one out with all the other students gawking at her because of all the men standing guard. But I had ignored her then because I knew most of them probably already knew who she was with, I was one of the men that people recognised on sight and associating with me puts her at risk so it wasn’t just to prevent her from running but also to make sure no one hurts her. And now I wanted to test her out. To know what she’ll do with her new found freedom that I was giving her. Even though it will be an illusion, for her it will be real enough.As I sat behind my desk, I folded my hands and looked at Ephraim. In the past, there ha
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 141. Fûck you, Antonio
Antonio“Antonio...”“Mmm?”“There is this new place that has opened up in downtown that everyone is going to after the classes. Can I go?”“Of course. I told you, you can go anywhere you want to go. I’ll tell Ephraim to take you.” I replied, feeling a smile turn up my lips at the way she asked for my permission.She sat up, slipping out of my hold. And even though it annoyed me, I opened my eyes to look at her. Her flawless back was to me and I couldn't help but trail down my fingers on the curve of her spine and smiled when she shuddered. Without looking at me, she said, “I, actually, don't want him to come with me.”I narrowed my eyes on her back. Grabbing the back of her nape, I pulled her back until she was lying and then I sat up on my elbow to look down at her as I asked, “Are you planning to run away?”She rolled her eyes. She actually rolled her eyes and gave me a smile that made my cock hard, again. She said, “If I wanted to leave, I would've left that night.”It was three n
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 140. I like you, Antonio
AntonioI stood near the windows and looked down at her. Ephraim had given her his jacket that she had wrapped around her to protect herself from the cold. She was looking back at the castle from time to time, and sometimes her gaze would go up to the terrace but she didn't turn to look in the direction of the bedroom which was on her left. And even if she had looked I doubted she would be able to make me out in the darkness of the bedroom.I have no fûcking idea why I said what I said. I didn't know what got into me to let her leave. I just fûcking forced her to go. But when I saw her bandaged hand... I wasn’t lying. Seeing her hurt messes with me in a way I couldn’t explain. It was like going back in the past and seeing all the blood and feeling the pain. Being helpless, that's what it felt like.I wasn't prepared to say any of the things I told her but unlike her I was mature enough to recognise the truth when it smacked me in the face every time I looked at her, kissed her, touche
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 139. Take your freedom, Erica
Erica“What does that mean?” He questioned, his golden brown eyes frowning down at me. “What are you talking about?”I stared at him for a few seconds, if I didn’t know better I would really believe that he has no idea what I was talking about. The way he looked so confused, like he had done nothing wrong, like he didn’t know what I was talking about, like he hadn’t left me in the bed only to be with her. I swallowed against the lump in my throat as I sat up and slipped out of the bed. Sitting there with him so close wouldn’t give me enough strength to keep my anger. But even while I stood and he sat there on the bed, he was almost my height and just as big.“I saw you with her.” It took more effort than it should have to say her name. “Nicole. The way she was touching you. Kissing you. She kissed you...” I couldn't hide the pain as I said those words. And once again the image of her materialized in my mind, the same image that had been haunting me, that had forced me to slam my fist
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 138. Confused and Hurt
EphraimErica pushed past me and walked away to the exit I was pointing out instead of going through the one where Antonio was standing close to. Nicole’s eyes met mine, smug and taunting. She said, “You should go after her before you lose his toy. I heard it’s very expensive.”I took a step closer to her and she sucked in a nervous breath. I had never interacted with her, apart from the times when Antonio needed another set of hands in an act that he put up in the club with her as the submissive for the night. “Stay away from her. If Antonio knew what you just did—”“Save your threats, he already made his.” Her nostrils flared as she looked over my shoulder. “I don’t understand what you see in her. She is not even Italian, also he bought her from an auction, how could you take her side over mine when she’s nothing but his sex slave.” “She is anything but that. Did you see her in chains or kneeling at his feet like you did so often?”Anger flashed in her eyes as she glared at me. H
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 137. We've the same bracelet
EricaI woke up sprawled in the middle of the bed with blankets wrapped around me and sun shining through the parted curtains. Gathering my hair to the one side, I sat up and looked around the bedroom. The basket from which I had eaten number of sweet things was still on the bedside table and it reminded me of how Antonio had fed me the baked soft cookies with his own hands while I was curled up in his lap. I took my gaze off the basket to our clothes that were all over the place last night but now we’re folded and placed on the bench near the bathroom door, but there was no sign of Antonio.Deciding to get up and start the day, I slipped out of the bed and made my way to the bathroom. For the first time, I didn't sleep nakéd after sex and still Antonio had taken me in his arms, surrounding me with his big body as we slept. When I came out of the bathroom, I opened the closet door to find a selection of his shirts but there were a few dresses and jeans and tops too. I picked out a bla
