I can't help my grin whenever I think about it. I don't know why but I am so sure about it. We made out a few times and not once had I felt it. What else could be the reason?That must be it. I wanted to sympathize with him. He is a good catch. He looked so damn good despite his age. He has the money and obviously the status even though I don't know him. His aura exudes dominance and authority. To know that he is lacking in that department makes me feel bad.What a waste!"Have you lost your mind?" for the first time since we made out on his private jet, I heard his voice again."Huh?" I frowned, wondering what he was talking about."You look like a delusional bitch with that creepy smile," he snapped.Oh!I grinned sheepishly. If only he could read my mind. I'm sure he will be less arrogant."Don't mind me," I smiled. "I'm just having a good time. By the way, thank you for taking me here."I won't bring out my ace yet. This isn't the right time. I need to play my cards right."Whatev
"Damn you!" I screamed behind his back but he had already left. I doubt it if he heard me."Argh!" I scrunched my hair in frustration! I never expected our confrontation to turn out that way! I really thought I'd have him at the palm of my hand after I dropped the bomb to his face!How can he be so full of himself?"Ugh!" I groaned. I squirmed when I felt the dampness between my thighs."What the hell is wrong with me?!" I snapped when I realized what happened. How can his roughness turn me on? We were in the middle of an argument and yet there I was salivating for him!I squeezed my eyes shut! This is so embarrassing!My only relief is the thought that he didn't know. But still... How can I lust about him when I know he probably can't satisfy me? Well, there are other ways but... Ugh!Stop it, Ava!I stomped my feet like a child while heading to the suite's bedroom. I jumped on the bed, recalling our conversation inside my head.He dismissed my accusation by blaming me! What did he sa
How can I face him after that?Should I just go and drown myself in the ocean? Okay, that's being dramatic but really, I don't think I have the guts to even be in the same room with him.Why did he have to witness that? Heck, why do I even have to do that?! Should I get myself checked? I never had this problem before since I was in the syndicate. Every night, clients are willing to book my services for a night or two. Or worse, they book multiple clients for a night!I've never gone this long without sex. Maybe that's the problem. I have gotten so used to it that now that I'm not having any, I'm having withdrawal symptoms, just like what happens to people who use illegal drugs.But wait... Does that mean...Am I addicted to sex?!The thought alone made me horrified!That's impossible. How can I be addicted to something I rarely even find pleasure in? I was just forced to do it. Right. I can't be addicted to it.Maybe it was Vladimir. I'll admit that I am attracted to him. I find him ho
He's awake!I tugged my hand out of his firm grab but he gripped it tighter, making me wince in pain."What the hell are you doing?" he queried, glancing down his exposed torso.Here we go again."Uh, nothing. I was just fixing this," I quickly pulled up the sheets to cover him all the way up to his face.He was taken aback. His grip on my hand loosened, giving me the chance to escape. I ran out of there immediately. People were looking at me as I sprinted my way out but I didn't care. All I want is to get away from Vladimir as much as possible.I was gasping for air when I finally made it out."Gosh, he would be the death of me," I muttered while trying to catch my breath.But what am I supposed to do now? That was my only hope to get my freedom back. I sat on the beach while staring at the waves gently rolling off the shore one after the other. What if I try to escape now? Where will I go? I don't even know where we were except that we are on an island.Should I just accept my fate o
I don't know what to think anymore. Horrible thoughts are starting to overwhelm me. I took a deep breath, holding the air in before diving as deep as I could. My eyes stung as I tried to see underwater but I still couldn't see him anywhere."Where the fuck are you?!" I snapped angrily after swimming back to the surface.I did it again and again until my body couldn't take it anymore. My limbs are sore, and so are my eyes.I looked at the yacht from a distance. Is he already there? I didn't think he would be too heartless to leave me alone here without telling me but I'd rather have him there. My whole body is now trembling in fear and exhaustion but I tried my best to swim back to the yacht. I propped myself up the ladder despite my aching limbs. I was gasping for air when I made it."Vladimir!" I called him but just like earlier, I didn't get any response. He's not here either."Damn it."I ran to the deck to look around the area. I can't see anyone or anything on the water. Not even
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 primal sound he made 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.I threw my head
"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
VLADIMIR"Vlad!" Yvonne cried as I hugged her. I only want her to be safe. I need to protect her no matter what.I closed my eyes as I waited for the pain to come, but instead of the sudden, intense burning pain of a bullet piercing my flesh, I felt a heavy weight collapsing on my back.At the same time, I heard Blaze and Mike coming to help us. Mike kept firing shots, covering us while Blaze helped me get up.I was confused when I realized it was Riva's weight that fell upon me. She was hit. Blaze pulled her up and dragged her inside while I ran with Yvonne. Other guests were also rushing inside the shelter, looking for a place to hide."What the hell?" I exclaimed when we finally got into safety."I-I'm sorry," Riva gasped while looking straight into my eyes.I frowned, getting more confused. How did she get shot? Isn't she the one behind this? Maybe because I tried to take the bullet that was supposed to be for Yvonne. My jaw clenched at the thought that she was the target of those
VLADIMIRRiva just started a fucking commotion. Reporters around swarmed like bees around her, making it hard for my men to drag her away!Fuck.What is she trying to do? Did she think she could win my favor if she ruined this event?"Vlad, please!" she screamed while trying to get away from the reporters who were shoving their mics and cameras in her face."Fuck it, do something," I hissed at Blaze who quickly moved."Vlad," Yvonne muttered beside me while holding onto my hand. Her palm was cold but sweaty and I couldn't blame her.She worked hard for this. And it's slowly falling apart right before her very eyes! Fuck.I should have known Riva wouldn't stop at anything. What else does she want from me?"Wait here," I whispered to her while signaling Matias to stay beside her.I don't want anything to do with her but this is the fastest way to get rid of her. I walked past the reporters who were asking questions nonstop. Cameras were flashing left and right! Blaze and my other men cl
YVONNEI stared at my reflection in the mirror. It's been a while since I last glammed up like this. The dress hugged my body in all the right places. The slit on one side showed just enough skin but still looked elegant and sophisticated.The strapless and structured bodice complemented me well. However, I couldn't help but think that something was amiss. I let out a harsh sigh."Is there something wrong?" Vlad asked when he suddenly appeared behind me. I was so preoccupied that I didn't notice when he came. He held me in his arms, his fingers gently caressing the curve of my waist.We were in the penthouse he had just acquired. I agreed to stay with him now that he's here but I'm still keeping my unit."Nothing," I forced a smile onto my lips. "I'm just a little anxious."I told him honestly. I wanted everything to be perfect tonight and I couldn't help but worry that something might go wrong."You don't need to worry," he pulled me onto him and gently placed a chaste kiss on my lip
VLADIMIR"I missed you," she groaned, making me harder than I already was!Fuck. She's making me lose it when I didn't even plan on taking her tonight! I wanted to take things slow, but she's a fucking temptation!I can't even remember how we ended up like this. I only wanted to surprise her with this new place. Her unit was fine, but I wanted the best for her. I knew she would probably refuse to accept it, so I already had it under her name.I growled when she suddenly bit my lip in the midst of our heated kiss. All thoughts that I had quickly dissipated into the air, leaving only her.I slid my fingers into her hair, pulled her face towards mine, and forcibly captured her exploring tongue with mine, thus deepening the kiss. Our mouths fused until we needed to come up for air. I didn't let her go. We tried to catch our breath against each other's lips."Vlad," she called my name like a prayer, breaking all the reigns I'd been trying so hard to keep."You have no idea how much I've l
YVONNE"What?!" I snapped at Selene who kept gawking at me as if I was a puzzle she couldn't quite solve."Are you high?" she asked, her voice dripping with genuine confusion.I frowned. Why the hell would she think that?"Something's different today. You look so..." she trailed off while staring at me. She's seriously starting to creep me out."Stop staring!" I groaned, but she only laughed at me."C'mon Yvonne, spill the beans!" she chuckled, making me roll my eyes."Does it have anything to do with Dr. Phil?" she asked, wiggling her eyebrows.She then glanced at Dr. Phil who was busy talking to his patients. I watched as the expression on her face slowly changed. When her eyes returned to me, she seemed more confused than earlier.An audible gasp came out of her lips when she must have realized something. Her eyes widened a fraction. It would have been funny watching her reactions if it hadn't changed to an accusing one."Don't tell me..." she didn't finish but I think we both knew
VLADIMIRI wished she could have stayed in bed with me a little longer, but I knew she had things to do—and so did I."I'm gonna drive you there," I told her as I got out of her bed.I don't understand how I was able to sleep soundly there. Perhaps it was my exhaustion or maybe it was just her. She has the ability to calm all the raging demons inside me."Uhm, okay," she hesitantly stated. "Coffee?""You don't need to bother. We can grab some breakfast before we go to the shelter," I said."Oh," she nodded before hurrying into a door which I assume was the bathroom.I looked around her tiny unit. I don't know why she's putting up with this when she can get a better place. I made sure she was paid enough to live comfortably. That was the only thing I could think of when she refused to accept anything from me.We dropped by a cafe to have our breakfast before I drove her to the shelter."I'll pick you up later," I told her when I stopped the car."Uhh," she played with her fingers on he
YVONNEI stared at my phone's screen. I sighed and put it down only to pick it up again. I scrolled randomly before finally tossing it away. I don't know why I seem to be waiting for it to ring or something.Oh, who am I kidding?!Of course, I was waiting for him to call or at least send a message! I chewed on my bottom lip, replaying our last conversation in my head. What if that was just a dream? Damn it!What did he even mean when he asked me for some time? What am I supposed to do? Should I just stay here and wait until he comes back? It's okay, right? I should give him that. But...Damn. The waiting game is giving me so much anxiety!What if he suddenly changes his mind when he talks to Riva? What if she makes him realize that he was just confused? What if it was just lust he was feeling for me? Ugh!I groaned while covering my face with a pillow. I'm alone in my unit again, overthinking! This would be the death of me!I don't know what else to do. I tried my best to keep myself
VLADIMIRNo. This can't be right.I glanced at Blaze who was looking at me apologetically."I know it's hard to believe, but everything points to her," he said.I harshly wiped my face with my palm. It's unbelievable. I can't imagine how she was able to orchestrate something like this.Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I thought bitterly.I squeezed my eyes shut before looking at the files Blaze had given me when I arrived. I scanned them again, making sure I wasn't seeing things. I gritted my teeth while reading.They were complete with bank transactions, emails, and phone calls. I don't know how he got all of this but it doesn't matter now, does it?Everything was traced back to Riva. Riva!My seemingly innocent wife. Her sweet smile flashed at the back of my mind. How could she do this to me? I never once suspected her. Even now, with everything my men found against her, I still find it hard to believe.How could she do this to me?How? Why? Some of the bank transactio
YVONNEMy head is reeling. I stood behind the closed door, replaying everything that happened inside my head. To say I was dumbfounded is an understatement.I'm in love with you.I can still hear his husky voice and feel his warm breath fanning against the sensitive skin on my neck. Speechless after he said those words, I didn't even try to look at him, even though I could feel his glances while driving back to my unit.I don't know how to process it. It seemed unrealistic. Did he really say those words? Was I dreaming?I pinched my arm so hard to prove that I am awake. I groaned when pain hit me.Shit. It was real!"Aah!" I screamed so loud that I must have woken up the entire building!Damn it! I jumped into the daybed and pushed my face against a pillow, trying to muffle my screams against it.I'm losing my mind!How can he be in love with me? I can't believe this. He must be playing with me! But why would he lie about it?I rolled to my back and stared at the ceiling as if his fac
