I groaned when his hand grasped the base of my neck to angle my face just the way he wanted so that he could deepen the kiss. The fine hairs on my back stood to their ends as fine shivers crawled through my skin.
He held my waist and lifted me like I weighed nothing. The next thing I knew. I was already on his lap, straddling him. I cupped his face with both hands as I shoved my tongue inside his mouth. I wanted to taste him, to explore every corner of his mouth greedily. Rough but passionate.
I sucked on his tongue making him groan like a wounded animal. The sound excited me more. I kept on kissing him as though my life depended on it until he decided to dominate it. He's like a ravenous predator feasting on its prey.
All I could do was moan as he sucked and tugged my lips over and over again. My back arched when I felt his hand snaked inside my sweatshirt. He began tracing the curve of my waist while my fingers grabbed his hair, pulling him even closer.
"Uhh," I let out a long moan of satisfaction as I felt myself shattered into a million pieces after that mind-blowing release.Vladimir didn't stop even though my whole body was already quivering from too much pleasure. He'd been worshipping my whole body for hours now as if he was trying to prove something.My whole body went limp after coming down from the high. The water splashed around us when I let my back slump on the edge of the jacuzzi. I was gasping, trying to catch my breath while he stared at me with those intense blue eyes.It took a while before I recovered from my latest orgasm but as soon as I did, I grinned at him. He frowned, looking confused all of a sudden. I pushed myself to move despite my limbs feeling like jello. I climbed on top of him, sliding my legs on each of his sides.I smiled seductively while looking straight into his eyes. I can't just lay here and let him do all the work. I want to return the favor. I want to pleasure him
"Aah!" I screamed so loud. What the hell is happening?! Why are these men firing at us?"Fuck it! Duck!" Vladimir cursed violently. I felt him push me down to the car's floor. I squealed and covered my ears with my hands. The shooting sounds are so loud! I curled up into a ball, making my body as small as possible while I hid behind the front seat.I don't know what is happening. My heart pounded more when I saw Vladimir raise the middle part of the backseat. It was a hidden compartment!My eyes widened when I saw him pull out a rifle! I gasped when I heard the gun click after he put in ammunition."V-vladimir," my voice quivered in fear."Do you know how to use a gun?" he suddenly asked when he looked at me.I shook my head frantically. How would I know that?!"Here," he shoved a small gun into my hands anyway."Wh-what..." I was so confused. My hands were trembling so badly, I couldn't even hold the weapon properly."Stay here," he told me before sliding out of the car. "Lock the f
I couldn't move. I just kept staring at the gruesome scene in front of me. My mind refused to process anything."Fuck! What are you doing here?!" Vladimir snapped, pulling me out of a trance. The men looked at me before looking at each other as if they were communicating through their eyes."Clean this up," he ordered his men before walking towards me. I wanted to run away from him but my knees were too weak. He grabbed my elbow, pulled me up from the floor, and dragged me upstairs."You..." I murmured. "You killed him...""You aren't supposed to see that," he hissed.I kept my mouth shut until we reached the bedroom where I slept. He pushed me inside and left me just like that. He didn't say anything. I thought he would explain what I saw but he didn't.My knees buckled when it sunk into my hazy brain. I had to sit on the bed or else my knees would give out.I tried to squeeze my eyes shut but the image was still so clear inside my head. What did I just witness? Was that real? Am I h
My husband is a freaking billionaire!"Woah!" I exclaimed.Who would have thought that that grumpy man was a fucking real estate mogul?He owns different commercial and residential buildings in New York and across the whole state, including the one where we live. And they are not just normal buildings, most of their properties are either high-end or luxury. All of those are under the corporation that he built himself. He is the major stockholder and the current CEO.I knew he was wealthy but never thought it was to this extent! Aside from that, he also owns a chain of hotels and restaurants in and out of the country. The more I read about him, the more I get confused with the scope of his wealth and power.I gasped when I saw an article about our wedding. It has our picture together during that day. It was a candid shot. He was looking at me intently while I was smiling for the camera.I pursed my lips while staring at it. From a stranger's point of view, they could easily be fooled t
Am I a nymphomaniac?The thought brought shivers down my spine. If Vladimir didn't call me again, I would've remained rooted to where I stood."I'm coming," I yelled. I had to force myself to follow him to the dining room despite my mind being in turmoil.Is it really possible? How come I'd only felt it now?Well, probably because you're not getting any action. A small voice inside my head whispered.Maybe. Back when I was in the ring, I would have at least one or two clients a night. That was how active I was. I suddenly wanted to crawl out of my skin, thinking of all the men who touched me.I am fucking dirty. Filthy.And now... I could be a nymphomaniac. How fucked up can it be?My head is spinning with a hundred questions while eating. I couldn't taste the food, even though I had asked Cora to prepare something special.“I enrolled you in an etiquette class, didn’t I?” he queried after a while, pulling me out of my thoughts.“Uhm, yeah,” I muttered confusedly with my mouth still fu
What the fuck did just happen?My jaw dropped as I watched his retreating back. I stayed motionless on the table, propped on my elbows for a while. The fire he started within me seemed to be doused with ice-cold water in an instant. I can't believe he did it to me again. I thought we were past this stage after the intimate moment we shared during our honeymoon. Then why are we back to square one?"Ugh," I groaned while pushing myself up. I snatched my top while looking at all the dishes scattered on the floor. I winced. Cora spent the whole afternoon preparing these meals. I felt bad because I was the one who requested them. And now they're wasted.Vladimir hastily pushed them aside in the heat of the moment. I sighed.What's with him, really? One moment he acts like he wants me just as much as I want him. Then the next, he will drop me like a hot potato!"He's acting like a tease!" I hissed while starting to clean up the mess we made. I better do something to divert my attention or
"Is there any other doctor?" Vladimir stared at the doctor with a dark expression looming on his face.I looked at him wondering what caused the sudden change in his mood. He glanced at my foot. My gaze hovered over it as well. The doctor is still holding my ankle looking confused.Wait. Is he... Jealous?'Or maybe he's just in character,' the voice inside my head quickly countered. Well, that's more likely."We need a female doctor," Vladimir commanded."Uh, sure," the doctor confusedly answered before carefully placing my foot back on the bed. He left without saying another word.I raised an eyebrow at Vladimir."You scared the poor man," I whispered accusingly."Nobody touches what's mine," he coldly muttered under his breath. I didn't know whether I should feel scared or flattered. In the end, I just decided to ignore what he said thinking that he was just doing it for show.It didn't take long before the same doctor returned, causing the frown on Vladimir's forehead to deepen."
We kissed each other like there was no tomorrow. Our tongues fought, tangling and sucking each other off. Nobody wanted to back down. I clung to him as though he was my lifeline. He held the back of my head firmly, trying to dominate me.He slid his hardened tongue back into my mouth and pushed it in a movement that mimicked a movement his cock should be doing instead."Uhh," a moan escaped my throat in gratification.Damn. The burning sensation between my thighs intensified by the second. I couldn't take it anymore. I feel like I would die if he ever left me hanging once again!"Vladimir!" I yelped when his mouth moved to my neck and gently bit my sensitive skin. I threw my head back, my eyes rolled when he sucked my skin. His stubble grazing my skin added volts of sensation running down my body.Heat gushed between my thighs even though we barely just started. Fuck. He'd be the death of me!I started gyrating my hips, trying to ease the tension with his hardness but I felt nothing.
VLADIMIR My jaw clenched after listening to her. I can already imagine making Anderson suffer for it. Should I torture him as well? It wasn't too long ago since I got rid of Rodriguez while Hiroshi was still held captive. Just how many people do I need to get rid of because of her past? The basement would probably be filled to the brim if I kept everyone who hurt her hostage. Honestly, I don't give a damn about it. What happened to her wasn't her fault. She was a victim. "Don't worry," I muttered after a while. "I'll take care of it." She looked pale while looking at me as I spit those words with hatred. I watched her blink and take a deep breath as if trying to collect herself. "You should," she nodded. "That would be your problem anyway." I frowned. How did that become my problem? Well, now that I think about it, I realize she is right. It would probably cause a huge scandal on my part. My enemies and the media will surely feast on it once it's out in the open. But do I re
VLADIMIR"Take me to the foundation," I growled as soon as I got into the car.The startled driver nodded when I slammed the door close.Fuck it! I just lost another deal! Fuck. Fuck!I pressed my fingers against my throbbing temple. I'm getting a headache from all of this!At first, I wanted to resort to violence. Noel and Hiroshi are still in the basement. I could let off some steam through them but then I thought of Yvonne. The foundation is closer to where I am now.The thought of her smiling as she did her job lessened my stress. If I could let off some steam in more pleasurable ways, why not?I went straight to her office, not minding the employees I walked past. They all greeted me, but I chose to ignore them.I grabbed her immediately. I nuzzled against her hair, inhaling her sweet, addicting vanilla scent. It must have a calming effect since it almost instantly calmed my nerves down."Uhm... Did something happen?" I heard her ask. I just made up a lousy excuse for wanting to
YVONNEThe construction of the shelter commenced almost immediately after it was approved. In the end, I chose the site in the suburban area over the one in the countryside.I'd be lying if I'd say Vladimir's past with Riva didn't affect my decision. But I chose it mostly because of the conveniences it offers. It would be more accessible for women seeking refuge compared to the one in the countryside where they have to travel for hours before they could reach.I personally oversee the progress from time to time while working on the foundation. With Dave's help, I am slowly learning the ropes of my job. I'm getting the hang of it. Now I can do a few tasks without his help.I flinched when I almost bumped into someone on the way to my office."Good morning, Yvonne," it turned out to be Mr. Anderson. Everything good in my morning faded at the sight of him.I clenched my jaw. I hadn't seen him in a while. I don't know where he was, but I wish he had just stayed there.I nodded curtly inst
YVONNEI stared at him. Was I too obvious?"What do you mean?" I chuckled awkwardly."I was just... Uhm, I still can't believe they approved the project, that's all," I grinned and tried to sound more enthusiastic.I plastered a smile on my face while he stared at me suspiciously. My upper lip quivered but I didn't dare move until he finally sighed and let the matter go.I sighed internally. I don't know how to tell him about my encounter earlier with Mr. Anderson.Have you ever heard of the Red Ring? His venomous voice still echoes inside my head. He knows.I don't know how. All I am certain is that he knew. He wouldn't dare speak to me about it if he wasn't confident. I'm sure he wouldn't want to provoke Vladimir over hearsay.But how? Was he a client of the ring? I don't know. I'm not sure. I may have had tons of clients but I can't recall any of their faces now.I used to block out everything as much as I could. I didn't want to remember the filthy things they did to me or the dis
VLADIMIR "We still couldn't track her down, boss," Blaze reported. My fists clenched. "How can an old woman disappear without a trace?" I hissed. "She has no connections! How hard is it to trace her whereabouts?!" my voice boomed inside my office. I was so fucking pissed. My men were turning into useless imbeciles these days! The harder it gets to find her, the more I think somebody's helping her. And I have to find out who it was before they can take any action against me. I'm sure they were using Yvonne's mother in the hopes that they could get to me through her. Well, they thought wrong.Did they? A small voice inside my head seemed to mock me. Hirushi's bloodied form in the basement flashed inside my head. My jaw clenched as I tried to push the image away. I didn't do it for Yvonne. It has nothing to do with her. I just don't like what the ring does in general. I despise people like them. Yes, I run a syndicate too. But I don't prey on the weak. I don't use helpless women
YVONNEOh god. This is it.I gulped. My legs were weakening from standing too long and the passing adrenaline, but I had to keep my stance."Those who are in favor of Project Eve, please raise your hands," Mr. Watson said authoritatively.Damn. This is the moment of truth.I looked down to briefly squeeze my eyes. I was a bit confident after the talk I had with Vlad before the meeting, but Jade made some valid points. And she also has a huge connection to Vladimir.I won't be surprised if the board would be torn about their decision. I took a deep breath before looking up.I sighed in relief when I saw that almost everyone in the conference room raised their hands in favor of the shelter, including Mr. Watson himself. I couldn't help but smile."We have a decision then," Mr. Watson said upon looking around. He then looked back at me and smiled."Congratulations, Mrs. Lewis," he genuinely said while firmly shaking my hand."Thank you," I nodded. I can't believe I made it.I know Vladim
YVONNE"Yes, Miss Foster?" I called to let her speak."This is a good idea," she started.I could already hear the but in her statement. She glanced at the papers in her hand. I can feel butterflies in my stomach while waiting for whatever she has to say. And they're not the good kind.The dramatic pause is killing me. I tried to brace myself from the possible blow she would give me."Although, I don't think it's necessary to start another advocacy that is out of line from what we are already doing," she said.I can see some of the members of the board glancing at each other. I don't know what they were thinking right now.Shit. I didn't expect this."LGC Foundation is already known for educational and health causes. I think we should focus on that," Jade said so confidently, that I had the urge to just cower in fear and hide in a corner.But since I couldn't do that, I took a deep breath instead and tried to process her words. I gathered my thoughts while I let her finish her comment
YVONNE I stood in front of the conference room even though it was just us. Dave set up the projector while my secretary put the hard copies in front of each seat. I took a deep breath while going over the presentation inside my head. "You can do this," Dave encouragingly said. I tried to smile. "Would you like coffee or water?" Jane, my secretary asked. "Just some water, please," I said before taking a seat. One by one, the board of directors started coming into the conference room. My heart beats faster every time someone comes in. "Good morning," I greeted back and nodded to each of them. "Relax," I heard Dave whisper behind me. "You look tensed." I tried to do as he said, but at that moment, Jade walked into the conference room. I frowned. I didn't know she would be here. When our gazes met, I tried to smile, but she only gave me a curt nod. Soon, all the chairs around the long table were slowly filled. My heart is already hammering inside my chest. I badly wanted to run
YVONNE"Let's go," Vladimir said when he saw me emerge from the hallway.He's also ready to leave. His three-piece black suit was stark in contrast with my all-white ensemble.My heart seemed to take a leap when he held his arm out to me. I smiled and placed my own against it hesitantly."Are you ready?" he asked."Yeah," I sighed.Dave told me everything I had to do. He even gave me a script to follow and the possible questions the board might ask during the presentation. Of course, he also curated well-crafted answers for them which I tried to memorize to the best that I could.We went out of the building together. His car was there together with two more SUVs. "I'm going to drive you there," he answered my unvoiced question. He must have noticed my confusion when he ushered me to his car. I thought I would be using one of the SUVs."But... Don't you have work?" I stupidly asked.
