CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 49. Was he jealous?
EricaHe settled his palm on my pûssy, cupping my whole mound in his big hand. And then his middle finger, parted my pussy lips and slid against my clit. And I moaned. Unable to stop the involuntary sound before it escaped my throat, my moan echoed around us and his golden gaze blazed.“We have to get rid of these.” He rubbed the soft, damp hair on my mound. “As endearing as these are, I would like to see you bare and open for me.” How could he be so filthy mouthed? His dirty words, in that silky accent and in his deep voice made me wetter. Made me want to slap him, curse at him and jump him at the same time.I closed my eyes as he tapped my clit with his middle finger. That soft touch after two days put me on the edge, panting and shaking with need, I settled my hands on his shoulders as my arse moved without any thought. A few moments later, I realized that he was as still as a statue while I was trying to fûck his finger. And then his hand around my waist stopped me. I opened my e
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 50. Playing with me
EricaHe was an arsehole.There was no other word I’d rather use from the whole dictionary to describe the man sitting on my left, eating his breakfast like he wasn’t playing with me. It suited him just fine, describing his personality to the T.I sat between the two men, one of them was having no problem eating his breakfast that was thankfully already served in our respective plates when we came out on the terrace. And there was no sign of Mario and Elijah who always stood sentry near the French doors to the balcony which made it crystal clear that the arsehole had planned this all.Unlike Antonio, Ephraim wasn’t eating his breakfast like he should and neither was I, not because I wasn’t hungry but because the bastard wasn’t letting me. Never, and I mean never since I came here he had used his phone during breakfast but today his phone was beside his plate and occasionally he tapped on it. Like now.And I sucked in a breath, my fingers tightening on the edge of the table as the litt
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 51. I'm Already One
AntonioThe thing about unexpected surprises is that they are unexpected and I do not like unexpected. I like to have everything go according to what I had planned beforehand and just like I had planned it.But now here I was with my fingers tapping on my thigh as my driver drove through the Milan traffic to interrupt a couple that would be enjoying a private breakfast with a scenic view when I reached the hotel they were staying at, if my sources were correct. And they always were.I knew why they were here and as much as I wanted to deal with this problem in my own way, I couldn't just kill the woman who I owed my life to and I kind of like her husband despite how much he aggravated me with her intense over the moon possessiveness and jealousy— which was kinda amusing to be honest. I had never understood that emotion, how could a man ever be jealous of another. Shouldn't a man be confident enough in his ability to keep the woman he wanted from straying away and if she did then she w
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 52. I'm not weak
EricaI spent most of my morning holed up in the bedroom in one of his long shirts, reading through the book I had taken a few days ago and enjoying my solitude. Not obsessing over what happened in the morning. How he taunted me, played with me and made me half crazy with his touch.“Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”After taking in enough points that clamored around my mind like half dozen coins in a tin box, I closed the book and dropped back on my back on the bed. I thought that it was enough knowledge to strategize and plan my way out of this horrible castle and one unbearable Italian arsehole, only to fall asleep. And when I woke up it was a few hours later in the noon so I decided to venture out because as much as I wanted to I couldn't hide in here all day, sooner or later I would've to face Ephraim.
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 53. You enjoyed it
Erica“Where are we?” I asked as Ephraim helped me down the steps of the chopper. At first I wasn’t going to obey his order and go with Ephraim for the appointments he made but then I decided I couldn't miss the opportunity to get out of that haunted castle. So I grudgingly got ready and met Ephraim Downstairs at the time he asked me to.As soon as we sat in the chopper and it started to leave the ground, my face was posted to the windows as I watched the scenery blow. Unlike the time when I had come here nakéd and in shock to be kidnapped, this time I somewhat enjoyed the ride to the city. The first half of the journey included the vast majority of forests and hills and rivers. And then slowly towns started to bleed into the scenery, getting my attention. From high above in the sky, all these buildings felt like small lego blocks, but they didn't lessen my excitement to be out and finally being able to see other people.“Rome.” Ephraim answered.“Rome...” I repeated as he tucked my a
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 54. Till our last breath
AntonioI managed to sit through two meetings that were as boring as pulling out teeth from a traitor’s mouth but I sat there ignoring this stupid urge to call Ephraim to check on my captive or to cut short the meetings so I could go and see for myself how my little devil was fairing. But even though I was distracted, the meetings were important to attend, the Russians were becoming a pain in the arse that couldn’t be ignored anymore. Last summer when I hadn’t accepted the offer made by the returned heir of the Sokolov family, he had taken it as an insult. And after that he had started a series of actions to become a thorn at my side. In the beginning I had let it go, because to be honest that man looked like he needed a purpose after what happened to him, but now he had crossed a line after intercepting my cargo of three hundred million dollars. The fucker was asking to be gunned down. But even as I had to plot my next action against the Russians my mind was on the little devil who’d
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 55. Anything but that
EricaThere was a round table with white tablecloth on top of it and a small crystal vase that had daffodils. And it was surrounded with a makeshift canopy of lace curtains, providing a little privacy from the men that were spread across the terrace looking straight ahead like statues.Any other time with any other man it would’ve been like a nice romantic date out of a perfect romance book with happily ever after on the horizon. But by my side was a man who couldn’t ever be a hero and it wasn’t a date but then the question was what it was. Since Ephraim had helped me into the chopper and we left the castle, I had been wondering why out of the blue Antonio decided that I could go out and leave the cage behind. It didn’t sit well with all his promises of keeping me caged and a captive for his nefarious reasons.“Join us, Ephraim.” I looked up at Ephraim who was walking away towards the elevator. He paused and looked indecisive. “Is there a problem?” Antonio asked, and there was no hidi
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 56. Let me see you, please
Erica“Anything but that.”Antonio narrowed his eyes on me and then I watched as he tugged on his tie and unfurled it from around his neck. He motioned for me to lean toward him and when I did, he covered my eyes with his black silk tie, using it as a blindfold as he tied it behind my head. As everything turned dark, I became aware of the cold night and the warmth of his body just a few inches from mine. My skin prickled with awareness as it became hypersensitive and my ears perked up at the smallest of sounds.He nudged my legs apart and I didn’t resist, considering I just told him to do anything. His rough palms slid up my legs to the inside of my soft thighs. I shuddered as I felt his hands draw closer to the apex of my thighs, as he slipped my dress high up and up. And then I was bare, could feel his eyes on my core as I wasn’t wearing any undergarments. I should care about the men who stood guard, but for some reason they didn't matter. Nothing mattered when he was so close to me

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
