CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 75. What did I say?
Erica .Surprisingly, I woke up well rested and fresh. It didn’t feel like I had watched serial kîller documentaries late into the night or drunken myself into stupor which was odd. And odder was the fact that I woke up in the cell room, I still refused to call it mine, in the bed tucked properly like someone had taken special care to cover me for the night. Shaking off this odd warm feeling, I went to the bathroom wondering why I didn’t remember coming to this room. When I was brushing my teeth, my mind like it was doing for the last few days went back to Antonio. And the fact that I hadn’t seen or talked to him. But what irritated me was Ephraim’s words about him frequenting those kinky clubs where women no doubt would be falling over themselves to give him what I had refused to. And even as much as I prided myself not to submit in front of him, the thought of all those faceless women felt like a pinch to my skin. Out of nowhere a flash of memory resurfaced then, of me looking in
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 76. My End of the Deal
EricaIt was hours later, close to one in the noon when I took a shower after a short nap and walked out of the cell-like-room with one single purpose.I made my way upstairs to his floor and without wasting a second, I pushed the only door that I guessed would be his office. And just like I had hoped, I found him there.When the office door opened with a slam because of the force with which I pushed it, He looked up at me from his laptop.I strode in.His golden eyes flashed in irritation when he saw me. He pressed a button on the laptop and said, “This better be fucking good, Erica. Because no one is allowed to disturb me in my office.”I didn’t answer.I remembered.Everything.And above all, I remembered the kiss. The way he had kissed me... His eyes. Golden and yellow. And warm. So warm and hot. His promise that he had never abused a woman in his life and the way he had let me tuck myself into his hard body and let me use his warmth to sleep. No wonder I woke up feeling fresh and
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 77. Such a Good Girl...
Erica “You can unbuckle me and take my côck out. Get it ready. And don’t disturb me.”His order in that deep silken voice made a shiver run down my spine. As much as I hated the calloused way he was demanding, I was also looking forward to it. He looked relaxed and his eyes were once again focused on his laptop screen. There were a number of men speaking over each other but when Antonio spoke they all quieted.I wondered if he was thinking that I wouldn’t do it and walk out of here and that’s why he was so focused on his call. But when my hands fell on his knees and he still didn’t give his attention to me I realised he really meant for me to get his côck ready without disturbing him. That made me angry and I swore to make him feel every bit of it so that he’d be forced to focus on me instead of his meeting.I ignored his deep voice and the steely tone that he commanded the meeting with. He wasn’t speaking English and neither was it Italian, but the way words rolled off his tongue ma
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 78. Scream my fcking name
EricaAntonio was still hard like he hadn’t just filled me with the jets of his thick come when he slipped out of my mouth and pulled his pants up, buttoning it and buckling his belt on. The only effect I could see in him of his powerful orgasm was the bright yellow rings that were flickering on and off, and the second was the slight shake in his fingers that was there and gone.He was really good at controlling himself. He gripped my chin and swiped at my bottom lip that felt numb and swollen before he slipped it into my mouth and pressed down on my tongue. I swallowed around his thumb on impulse. His golden eyes glowed as he slipped his thumb free off my mouth and said in his deep voice, “You did a really good job, little devil.” I darted my tongue out, licking his thumb, tasting his skin. “Now, stand up. Let me reward you for being such a good girl.”Even though he was the one who I sucked and came into my mouth, I was the one with trembling knees. When I stood up I stumbled into
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 79. Nothing but dark pain
EricaIt was late after dinner when I decided to go look for Antonio. It wasn’t that I was actively seeking him out, I just maybe wanted to establish the fact that I still hated him for kidnapping me and what happened between us didn’t change anything even though he might’ve freed me from my past in some sense of it. Yes. That was it. Nothing more.But there was also this lingering want to be near him and see how he would respond to me after what happened in his office. I held up my end of the deal. I did it. Something that to the last moment I wasn't sure if I could. I submitted to him, let him control me and gave the reins to him. And it turned out to be the.... best thing to have happened to me. I felt lighter, surprisingly the demons were quiet and the little devil on my shoulder was pushing me toward him.I wondered if he'd be as soft as he had been in his office after ravaging my mouth with his côck. Do I want him to? Not exactly. After everything that I had been through, there
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 80. Not your plaything
EricaI woke up feeling like I was buried under a mountain and it was warm. No, scratch that, it was fûcking hot. Like I was sitting inside a fireplace. The blanket that weighed like a mountain block denied to budge even when I tried to free my arm and squirm up. With a disgruntled sigh I finally opened my eyes and was momentarily stunned when I saw the mountain itself. It wasn’t a mountain. It was Antonio, the devil himself using me like his own mattress.I remembered falling asleep in his bed while waiting for the arseholè himself but I didn’t remember him joining me. And I most definitely did not remember sleeping like this. Like we were two puzzle pieces fitting together or like ivy vines intertwined around each other.Antonio was half on top of me with his thick muscular leg pinning both of mine beneath it and one of his arm was wrapped around my throat, snaking between my breàsts, while his face was pressed in the crook of my neck between throat and shoulder. It was an intimate
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 81. Reward for submission
EricaAfter a taking a long shower, mostly to cool myself and calm the thudding beat of my heart after my interaction with Antonio in his bed, which still felt like it happened in an alternate universe where we both were close to having playful banter or disagreement instead of verging on killing each other , I came out to find the bedroom empty. Half of me expected him to be here but I was relieved when I didn’t find him. After yesterday, after me going down on my knees for him, it felt like the dynamics had changed, like the Erica who had been ready with a sword and a bunchful of insults with rock hard walls around her wasn’t so ferocious and so gripped by anger left from the past anymore. It felt like with him, I not only took down release but also swallowed some of my own insecurities that I had hidden well behind those stone walls. Now it seemed that there was a window to let the sunlight in, in deep recesses of my soul lighting the path that had been nothing but filled with sha
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 82. You'll wish for deàth
AntonioNow that my mind was clear, no longer crowded with dark memories and confused between past and the present, I could clearly recall how she had looked on her knees in my office. How her dark chocolaty eyes had seemed two dark pools with tears in them. Those plush lips stretched around my girth had looked beautiful. And now here she was wearing another one of my shirts. Red, it suited her. She wore my clothes like she had every right to. And I couldn’t bring myself to point it out to her that there was a closet filled with new clothes for her.“Do you not want to talk to your sister?” I asked as the silence stretched with her still holding the burner phone in her hand and looking at it with a perplexed expression on her face. Erica was good at hiding her emotions and always kept her ferocious side at the front, but right now I could see her tells. The way her fingers were trembling. Her eyes were downcast as she looked at the screen, as if she was seeing in her mind how this c

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
