Hazel POV
“Andrea is working for Pavlov, she had pictures of your meetings with him, and she showed them to me, so I had to react”, Elliot says. I think my brain has stopped working as I look at the three guys in front of me. Killian with his hands crossed in front of his chest and Theo with his in his pockets. How is that even possible? How would Pavlov know to find Andrea? If she had all her life erased from social media, and I didn’t mention her and obviously he didn’t hear from Elliot himself.
“And you knew?”, I ask Theo and Killian who automatically shake their heads at the same time. Of course, they didn’t know, I would like to think that if they knew they would’ve handled the situation before it got to this point.
“Nope, but if he did something, he had a reason, and let’s face it, we all wanted to sl
Hazel POV“Good morning”, I say as I move on the bed, rolling to face Elliot, that is lying in bed with his glasses resting on his nose. His naked body is beautiful in this light.“Morning, beautiful”, he says, looking at me and smiling. I stretch my arms, and when I am about to get out of bed, he pulls me into his arms, wrapping his strong and toned arms around my body. I smile against the pillow. His chest against my back and his erection pressing just at the right spot.“I need to have a shower. I have classes today”, I whisper, and he grunts against my neck.“We’re still on our honeymoon”, he complains, and I smile. I roll and look into his eyes, and he looks very serious as he watches me.“Says the guy that went out last night without telli
Elliot POV“Ignore it”, I let out while I spin Hazel around, placing one hand on the back of her neck, keeping her in place. My lips meet hers, and she tries to fight me for dominance, but she easily gives up as I press my erection against her soft and warm body. I can’t wait to fuck her senseless.My phone starts ringing again, and for the insistence, I know it’s something serious. I pull away from Hazel with my brain still foggy and my body burning in need of her. I turn the shower on and smack her ass.“Go on”, I say before grabbing the phone from my pocket and bringing it to my ear. “What?” I bark, and I hear Theo laughing on the other side. Fucker, he knows perfectly well what he’s done. And how he is going to fucking pay for it.“Did I interrupt
Hazel POV“It’s going to be okay”, Elliot says, and even though I believe him, I can’t really see anything being okay, we are under attack, and Elliot is freaking half-naked because I decided to be stubborn with him. He pushes me behind a car and opens the door digging in for a gun. When he finds one, he stands, broad chest as he starts shooting whoever it is that decided to attack him. Us. Me? I don’t know how they even got in.The shooting stops, and I move the guy's hands from my head to look at Elliot. His face is bright red in anger, and his body is shaking. I look at him, and there’s not even a scratch on his body, and I finally take a deep breath.Casings from the shooting are all over the place, and then I can hear the police sirens. “Fuck”, Elliot curses, looking at me. He grabs my hand and pulls me to the elevator. “Get in, stay with the doorman, don&
Hazel POV“I am sorry to inform you….” he starts, and I fall on my knees on the floor, the phone still on my ear, “But your mother passed away in her sleep last night”, he says, and I shake my head. Tears stream down my cheeks, and I feel a set of hands lifting me from the floor, and I see Angel’s eyes on me. Elliot’s hands wrapped around my body.“Hey, what happened?” he asks, and I look at the two men standing in front of me, and my heart breaks more and more again. I can’t believe this is happening.“I…” I start saying, but it’s like my brain stopped working. Elliot grabs my phone and takes it to his ear.“Hello?” he says as Angel stands in front of me, his eyes locked on mine while Elliot holds me up with my phone in his ear. He looks at Angel shaking his hea
Elliot POV“Where are you going? Why aren’t you coming with me?” Hazel asks, and I can hear the pain and frustration in her voice. I am sorry I need to do this, but if I wait, I could lose my chance of catching Pavlov with his hands dirty.I cradle Hazel’s face between my hands and look her in the eyes. Iknow she is going to hate me for this, but I have to do this. Killian would kill me fi he found out I had a lead on Pavlov and Alvarez, and I didn’t follow it because of Hazel. He doesn’t like him already, and I need to do this and try and keep the peace between him and her.“I have some things to do, and I need you to trust me. I need you to trust Edgar. I say he will keep you safe, I won’t be long, and I will meet you at the hospital”, I say. I can’t let the frustration I am feeling right now to take over
Hazel POV“Hazel”, Pavlov says, and I feel a chill down my spine. He is here, and I can’t find Elliot or Killian. What is he doing here?“What are you doing here?” I say, desperately looking around the room. I can’t find Elliot, Killian or Theo, but I see a familiar set of eyes. Edgar. He nods slightly towards me as he takes small steps towards us.“I came to pay my respects. It was an open house invite”, he says, and I shake my head, pulling away from him. I take one step back, and I feel Edgar next to me.“I’m leaving. I am sorry for your loss”, Pavlov says, offering me the sickest smile I have ever seen. I take a deep breath as I watch him spin on his heels and walk out of my house.&ldqu
Hazel POV“I’m going”, I say to Elliot as he walks into the bedroom.“Come here”, he says, grabbing my wrist and pulling me towards him as he wraps his arms around my waist and kisses me. I smile against his lips.“I would love to stay and be fucked till Friday, but I need to go meet that asshole”, I say, and Elliot frowns, looking at me and pulling away from my lips.“Way to push me away”, he says, walking back to the bathroom. These meetings are the only time I don’t go out with security. Hell, I go with them, but they are hidden. I walk to the dressing room, grab my shoes and walk out of the room. Spring is a beautiful time in New York; the flowers are booming, and people are much more receptive and in good spirits.I decide to walk to the diner. Pavlov changes the meeting place every week
Elliot POV“I’m going”, Hazel says as I walk to the bathroom. I stop in my tracks and turn around, grabbing her wrist and pulling her towards me. I wrap my arms around her waist and softly kiss her. She starts smiling against my lips, and I feel my stomach turn. I couldn’t be happier, but I have a terrible feeling that something is about to happen, and I don’t like this feeling.“I would love to stay and be fucked till Friday, but I need to go meet that asshole”, Hazel says, breaking away from me and tearing apart the spell she has me in. I frown as she mentions that fucker.“Way to push me away”, I let out under my breath, walking towards the bathroom. I turn the shower on, and I relax when the hot water hits my skin. I don’t like when I have these feelings. Some might say I am just paranoid and think that a storm is coming and my happiness won’t l
