Amara stood by the window, picking at the side of her thumb and fiddling with the necklace Elijah had given her.She was so deep in thought, processing all the Tobias had said, that she didn’t notice Elijah walking in.For a little while, he didn’t bother calling out to her, taking his time to exami
“He…” She tried, pausing, before shaking her head. “You wouldn’t believe me, it’s not something that’s likely to happen.”“Try me,” Elijah challenged. “There’s no harm in trying.”“It’s…well…” Amara struggled to find the right words, her fingers moving back to the side of her thumb.Elijah noticed a
“Oh,” Elijah muttered, his eyes lingering on the flowers for a little while before turning and walking away.For some reason, perhaps it had something to do with the way her expression had stiffened or her eyes seemed to darken, He didn’t believe a single word she had said, but he knew better than t
“You know, for someone who claims to be my assistant, you sure do allow a lot of people waltz their way into my office.”Amara had said this, seated in the back sit of her car as Duncan drove her home that very night.It wasn’t particularly a topic she wanted to discuss about, but she realized she’d
“Are you allergic to them young Ms.? I wasn’t made aware of this. I’ll throw them-““Burn it.” Amara cut him off, her tone cold and unyielding. “Burn them, and if another one comes, burn it.”Xavier was shocked, not entirely sure why, or how a set of flowers could make the usually calm and kind Amar
“Yes ma’am,”She walked past the flowers, her heart beating faster and her mind screaming that there was a possibility that they could be from who she believed they came from.She ignored those thoughts, however, and went about her day as if they weren’t a concern. By the end of the work day, or at
Elijah didn’t hesitate. If Amara was willing to trust him with her past, then he was more than ready to hear her out and help her through it if she needed his help in any way.“I’m not pressuring you,” He started, gently squeezing her hand. “But I want you to know that whatever you have to tell me,
“Eventually, I realized that no matter how scared I was, if I didn’t do anything about what was going on, I…would die even before anyone found and rescued me. So one day, I fought back,”She paused, thinking back to the first time she had ever used a gun. It wasn’t the most pleasant experience, but
Fiona nodded her head and Melanie, with a proud look on her face, smiled.Elvis looked at his granddaughter, and his lips tugged upwards. “You look beautiful.” He complimented. “Your mother and father wouldn’t be more happier.”“Thank you, grandfather.” Amara said with a happy smile.“Are you ready?
Elijah stood in the cold, hands tucked into the pocket of his winter coat and eyes watching the very first snowfall of the year.It had been a year; a whole year since he left Italy, one year since he last saw Amara’s face and eight months since he Melanie handed him the invitation to she and Tobias
A soft smile tugged on Tobias’s lips as he watched Amara’s sleeping face.After spending nearly an hour and a half in the bathtub, washing each other’s body and kissing every now and then, Tobias had finally helped her out, and after putting on her undergarments, dressed her in one of the dresses he
“Hmm, it seems you’re still sensitive down there, Princess.” Tobias teased and Amara, through the cracks of her finger, glared at him.“Shut up.”“As you wish,” He leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead. The feeling of his lip against her skin made Amara shiver in a good way “But, first,”He
“Yeah, yeah, sure.” Amara rolled her eyes.Tobias leaned forward and captured her lips. He kissed her a few times, before he pulled back.“How about we continue last night after breakfast, Love?”His suggestion earned a blush from Amara.“You’re such an asshole.” She said and smacked his arm once ag
Amara learnt the hard way that someone like Tobias wasn’t a person you should ever tease.Round after round, their moans echoed and the smell of sex was pungent. It was sometime around 2 in the morning, 3 hours after they had returned from their date, and Tobias was still going at it like they had j
Tobias made it to his place in record time. He was quick to park his car and he didn’t waste a minute before opening the door for Amara and leading her inside his house.The moment the door closed, he pushed her against the door, and without waiting, kissed her.His kiss was deep and demanding, but
“Why the fuck do you have a gun on your yacht, Tobias?” She asked, a look of shock on her face.When she saw him reaching for the gun, she tried to grab it, but Tobias was faster than her.“Don’t play this game,” She warned. “It’s not worth it, I forgive you. There’s no need to-““I won’t hurt mysel
It was just as Amara had predicted.The location of their date turned out to be in the middle of the ocean, taking place on none other than Tobias’s private yacht.Waiters and a few musicians, for entertainment sake, we’re invited. At the center of the yacht’s first floor, was their dining table, de
