CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 127. Hey, big sister
EricaI was impatient for the whole ride in the chopper and then the drive to the big city centre where there was a building with twenty floors and each floor except the reception on the ground floor had a different set of classes going on at the same time. I hadn’t looked at the template that Antonio had handed me as I had been too busy getting ready to get out of the castle.The only thought that circled my mind was to make a call to my sister from the new phone that belonged to me, as soon as possible. I still couldn’t believe that Antonio had given me a phone when he didn’t miss a chance to call me his captive. The lines were getting blurred and as much as I missed my sister, I’m sure talking to her will put things into perspective and I’d come to my senses and realise that Antonio was nothing but my enemy. And after yesterday, the vulnerable moment I shared with him, I needed that reminder before I totally forget that he wasn’t the man who had kidnapped me for the sole purpose o
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 128. Make him trust you
Erica “Hey, big sister.” I said into the phone. The silence on the other end was weighty until it broke as my sister gasped, “Rica! Oh my god... Where are you right now ? Are you okay? Did you get out of there? Tell me, where are you? Are you hurt or—” “Summer... Take a breath. I’m not hurt, I am okay.” I took a shaky breath as I sat down on one of the chairs near the window. “What about you? Are you okay?” “Don’t try to turn this conversation around. Tell me, where are you?” My sister demanded, her voice turning determined even as I could hear the tears in her words. “Is he there with you? Who's number is this? Are you still in his house?” “If you’ll let me talk, I’ll tell you everything.” I said, wiping my tears. “Fine.” There was a sound of the door closing and then she said, “I am putting you on speaker. Gabriel is here.” “Erica...” Gabe’s warm voice settled over me, reminding me of all the time he had taken care of me and my sister. “Hi..” I replied. “Where are
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 129. Feels like a DATE
EricaBy the time, I exited the building my fingers were cramped and I knew what the keys on the piano were called. And also I kind of made a friend, I think, as I waved at Leo who really looked like a lost child of DiCaprio. “See you, tomorrow.” He called out as he turned to leave in the opposite direction. I smiled at him as he walked across the road and gave me a wave before turning away. I turned to make my way to the waiting car with Thor peeking out of the window which was open more than I had left. When I reached the car and opened the door, I realised the reason behind it. Ephraim was sitting in the backseat with a laptop open in front of him. His fingers were rapid fast as he typed. And his rhythm didn’t change even as I sat down and he said, “Thought you wanted Thor to be by your side. If you wanted to leave him behind in the car, you should've left him at the castle instead.”I stared at him, feeling irritated as without knowing he just made up an assumption. I said, “Of c
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 130. Do you like me?
AntonioErica stepped out of the bedroom and I watched from my place on the terrace as she took a few careful steps in those high heels until she found her balance and looked up. Our eyes met as she walked toward me, hers were dark brown with dark secrets that she keeps to herself. But I was a fûcking bastàrd who stole them from her. And now I was trying to make up for it, just not because I felt like I shouldn’t have, no, it's because I wanted to. And for the fact, I was glad that I knew what I knew, it’d be quicker to make them pay for what they did to her. I’ll make everyone of the fûcking arseholes who ever touched her.When she came out on the terrace, her eyes widened to see the fairy lights above our hearts and the table set for two with candle lights and a single daffodil in a glass bottle. Her enquiring gaze came back to me, but I was taking my time to drink her in.Day after day, she was getting prettier in my eyes and felt more beautiful to me. And now I know what she looks
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 131. Your safeword is here...
EricaI stared at him, dumbfounded and unable to grasp what he just asked. Do you like me? His question ping ponged around my head and I couldn’t decide on an answer. Yes. No. I don’t know. Fûck. Antonio had become something complicated that I know longer have a category for him. I don’t hate him. I don’t despise him like I did before. And yet it should be impossible to feel anything else for him.Fortunately, I was saved from replying when Mario’s cheery voice came from behind me as he stepped out on the terrace. I turned around to see him, to take reprieve from those golden eyes that were still on me, waiting for my answer. “Dessert is here.”I let out a shaky breath and jerked in surprise when Antonio said, his tone amused, “Your safeword is here.”I bit down on my bottom lip as I met his gaze while Mario replaced our plates— surprisingly white talking to him I ate everything on my plate while his was still half full, with the dessert ones. And he also refilled our wine glasses.On

Erica“You are wet, little devil.”“I could be wetter.” I couldn't even recognise my own voice, so filled with lust it was.His eyes gleamed. “Of course.” He murmured and grabbed a pillow from above my head. “Up.” I lifted my arse at his command and then he slid the pillow under my arse, arching me up and opening me wider as he pushed my thighs apart.“Antonio.” I breathed his name as I pulsed with need. I couldn’t wait an“Patience, little devil. You couldn’t be more hungrier than me.” He murmured just as he used two of his fingers, the v of his fingers, slid along my pussy folds. And then he slipped those two fingers inside me.“Fûck.” I gasped, arching up as he filled me.“You are still so fucking tight.” He growled. “You have no idea how much my côck likes your tight cûnt.” I could feel my pûssy throbbing at his dirty words as he used his two fingers to give me a few experimenting thrusts.I didn’t understand what he was trying to do unt he slid out his two fingers and then I felt
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 133. Right or Wrong?
Erica“My father was the cruellest man you could ever come across.”I stayed still as his words washed over me. A part of me wanted to stop him from saying anything further because it would mean knowing him, understanding him and ultimately this would pull me more closer to him than the tangled web of emotions I was already dealing with. But there was another part of me, a bigger one, that wanted to know whatever crumbs of his life he was sharing right now on his own. I didn’t know what made him talk about himself out of a sudden but I was ready to hear it.Since the moment I had met him, this man had a hold on me that I never understood. His presence, his aura and the way he behaves was something that had intrigued me and told me about the danger he was. But still all of it never stopped me from wanting to get closer to him. To touch him. To experience him. It was like when you see or hear about an exotic, wild animal and then you wonder what it would be like if you got closer to him
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 134. I'll come for you
EricaMore than a week had passed since that night when Antonio gave me one of a kind dinner experience because he wanted to make me happy and it wasn’t just about the way he had fucked me either. Apart from the dinner arrangement and then the way he had taken me like he couldn’t get enough, like he was savoring every moment of us being together, that same night he had told me snippets of his past which somehow made me feel closer to him, to understand that we both weren’t lucky where our parents were considered.And not to miss the fact that since then I had felt more than seen some kind of change in him. Antonio had become more... I didn’t have any clue how to put it but he had been touching me every chance he got. He had become like a man starving for too long and now he couldn’t be away from the food. And I was the food in this case, considering the way he seemed to want to gorge on me.Just the other day when I had returned from my evening run outside the castle, Antonio had take

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

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
