VIOLETCOLE guided me to the other side of the kitchen counter and pushed me down to sit on one of the wooden chairs that surrounded the small, round, dining table. He turned around and then after finding what he was searching for he came back and put a glass on the middle of the table then inserted a candle in it before lighting it. I met his eyes above the candle flame and he said, “Just one more thing.” Then, I watched as he turned the lights off, except the one in the kitchen so he could finish cooking.I sat there, entranced and feeling the flutters in my stomach. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. He navigated the kitchen, so confident and sure, and looked so hot doing it. I imagined a future with him like this, in the quiet nights where he’d cook in the kitchen but in my imagination I wasn’t alone. The table was filled with our beautiful children yelling for their Daddy to hurry with the food. I swallowed and looked away to the flickering candlelight on the table. A few moments
Some lines are meant to be erased so you could draw the new ones. Just like some rules that should be broken because they are weathered and unprecedented from old age and not suitable to the present. ~ A. Gupta .VIOLETI was so nervous but the heat inside me was simmering, making me hot and bothered, especially from the look in his eyes and the way he wasn’t asking or making efforts to come out gentle with me when in the past he always did. I was seeing this for the first time where Cole wasn’t behaving or treating me like I was made of glass, instead he was looking at me like I was everything he needed to quench his thirst with and how he’d like to bend me to his will, turn me into his willing partner who’ll let him do anything and let out his hunger in any way.The thought filled me with apprehension but a part of me was also waiting to see what he’ll do next, where this night was going, and I couldn't deny it but his rough voice with demanding tone was dripping warmth into my vei
It's going to be downright filthy between these two and it might also make you look at the chocolate a little differently. You've been warned..VIOLETI never thought that softness could be so cruel that it will hurt but it was hurting me and it was unbearable. Cole brushed his lips down along my throat, placing feather light kisses and licking where my pulse thrummed. When I whimpered and squirmed, he lifted his head and his dark brown eyes met mine. “I am just starting, princess, you’ll have to wait more and obey me more.” I jerked my head up and down in a nod. He smiled, a teasing smile as he added, “Don’t release your hold or I will stop.”I opened my mouth but he shook his head. “No words, unless you want me to stop.” I shook my head, too quickly, and he chuckled, “Good.” He sat up and picked up the bowl he had brought earlier. “Now, time for our dessert.”“Dess—” I ended up on a squeal as he tipped the bowl side ways and in seconds I was covered in vanilla fondue. “Cole!”“Hus
COLENestled along the serene lakeside, the small cottage had a cozy warm feeling to it. And surrounded with a lush blanket of trees it was alluring with us beautiful landscape, beckoning you to spend more peaceful nights inside it. And I understood why Mr Carter loved to escape here with Mrs Carter. Because I could imagine myself with Violet here, far away from the regular life, just in a cocoon of our own just like we were right now.Its exterior wore a weathered patina, as if time itself had embraced the dwelling. Soft, weathered wooden panels adorned the walls, painted in muted hues of cream and moss green, blending harmoniously with the natural surroundings. A quaint porch extended from the front where a couple of folded chair waited to be used. It was picture perfect and inviting to anyone who happened upon it. And not far from where we walked, with Violet’s hand tucked in mine, the lake’s gentle waves lapped against the shore, serenading with their soothing melody and beyond i
VIOLETI STEPPED out of the car and slipped my arm in Cole’s waiting one. As soon as I had agreed to meet his parents, he had given me exactly twenty minutes to get ready and all the while he was on his phone. And when I'd come out in the living room, and tied my heels, he’d disappeared into the bedroom and had come out dressed in a pair of black slacks and white shirt, looking like he had been all prepared even before I even suggested to meet his parents. Like it was all his plan from the very beginning. But I didn’t have time to dwell on it as I looked up at the building in front of me.“Your father owns this?” I asked, my voice coming out small and unsure as I looked at the high rise building in front of me.“Yeah.” He answered, adjusting the suit jacket that he had pulled out from the backseat. I glanced at him and signed when words seemed to stuck in my throat, 'I thought we were supposed to meet them in a casual restaurant, not in this grand hotel. And you told me to wear anyth
VIOLETThe rest of the dinner went pretty well, unlike Cole’s father who put me on edge many times in the short time, his mother was absolutely sweet. She reminded me of Bree, open and kind, ready with a welcoming smile. Or maybe, she was just drunk.Cole leaned into me and asked softly, “Are you okay, princess?” I gave him a nod, pleased and feeling so fortunate to have him by my side, grateful to the fact that in the last twenty minutes he had already asked me if I was okay or not for at least four times. He was so considerate. He questioned, “Do you want to get out of here?”I looked at him in surprise as I whispered, “We can?”“Of course.” With that, he grabbed my hand and didn’t even give me a second to be ready as he stood up and announced. “We are leaving, I have other places to take Violet to.”“But the dessert?” His mother said, almost pouting.His father wrapped an arm around his mother’s shoulder and said, “Let him go, sweetheart. He will come again.” I knew the last senten
Sometimes home is a person and with that person by your side you feel at home wherever you are. ~ A. Gupta.VIOLET“Are you going to tell me what is this place? Where are you taking me?”“I am kidnapping you, I don't want to take you back to Willow Creek.”I chuckled at his response but my amusement died off as I saw him looking at me with serious brown eyes. “What? You can't be serious?”He smiled, his fingers squeezing mine as he pulled me closer. My eyes darted to the closed steel doors of the elevator as I braved a palm on his hard chest. Cupping my face, he brought my attention back to him as he said, “If I ever did kidnap you, will you hate me for it?”I frowned at him. “Why are you asking me that?” I shook my head, stopping him before he could reply. “No. Don’t answer that. Just.. just know that I trust you, Cole. After everything that I’ve been through I put my trust in you so don’t ever do anything to make me hate you. And no, I won’t forgive you if you ever kidnap me. I don
VIOLETNicholas looked at me with hungry brown eyes, the golden swirls in them making my skin tingle in anticipation. I could spent my whole life getting drunk on them, they were so beautiful, my warm heaven. His fingers held my wrists captive above my head as he brought his free hand to the column of my throat. The back of his knuckles traced my throbbing pulse and he leaned down to place a flitting kiss there. “You smell so fûcking sweet, princess.”I shuddered as his lips made there way down between the slopes of my breasts and he placed another kiss on my sternum before he unhooked the front clasp of my bra, baring me to his gaze. “Let's get rid of this.” He let go of my hands to relieve me off the bra.As I shrugged it off, his hands settled on my waist and his sherry eyes locked on my breasts as they bounced free from their confines, making my blood run hot. “Fûcking beautiful,” He murmured, his hands moving up my warm flesh, his thumbs brushing the underside of my bréasts and
TWISTED MARRIAGE: MMF Dark Mafia Romance Novel. .INNESSA“Nina!” I ignored my little sister, Mila's, call as I rushed out of the ballroom where the party for my eighteenth birthday was going on. Or, should I say the celebration for my upcoming nuptials. Even the thought of that made me want to vomit. Since the moment the Capo of the major crime family: Rossi, had died my father had lost all his privileges and power in the underworld. He had been trying all these years to get back the power and position he once had, but the current Capo: Antonio Rossi didn’t seem inclined to get cosy with anyone his father once associated with. Rumor even has it that he was the one who actually kîlled his own father when he was just a child himself. Sometimes, I wonder if he could teach me a thing or two about it because if I knew how to get out of it I’d commit patricîde in my next breath. What? Don’t look at me like that. My father deserves it, if you knew him you’d say the same thing. He is the
Bonus chapterCOLEI stood by the glass doors and watched as my princess introduced our son, Romeo, to everyone in the Carter family. Our son. Now every time I look at him, I feel what I know Violet must’ve felt that first time when she’d seen him. It has been four months since he became a part of our family. Four months since we became parents. And only three months since Romeo started to call me Papa and started treating me as his father. I wasn’t too proud to lie and say that I didn’t hug my wife and cried happy tears in her arms the first time I heard the word papa from Romeo. The little boy was ruling not only mine and my wife’s heart, but everyone else’s in the family. Even Uncle Nico was doting on him more than he ever did on me. Surprisingly he didn’t take as much time with uncle Nico as he did with me to get comfortable with. It was my beautiful wife, my princess, who built his trust in me day after day and taught me how to earn his trust. The first two weeks were hard. Ro
EPILOGUE IIA YEAR LATER....VIOLET“Are you ready to go?” I looked at my husband and gave him a reluctant nod. We were at the shelter that the church ran. The buildings were joined together by a backdoor. And since last year when I had come here for the first time on our first Christmas together as husband and wife, I had liked it so much here that every time we came back from New York we came visit the kids. Now, this church and the shelter was part of our life as much as it was Nicolai’s, even though it was the first time that he hadn’t been able to come here on Christmas. The sisters specifically asked for him and showed their disappointment at learning that he wasn’t joining us. It was kind of crazy to think that a man who I had once witness covered in blôod from head to toe, that still gives me flashbacks every time I see him, was so revered by these people of God. “Come on, princess. It’s getting late. The children need to go to their beds.” My husband was right, but in all
I have died every day waiting for youDarling, don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more.~ A Thousand years..A MONTH LATER....VIOLETI woke up to an empty bed but a little note waited on my husband’s pillow. I picked it up and as I read his scrawled message, a smile lit up my face. ‘Good morning, princess. Come downstairs whenever you're ready. The twins are already making a racket. I had to go down before they set the house on fire. I love you.’Today’s going to be another good day, or maybe a better one because my husband wasn’t the only one who was stuffing our closet with presents he didn't think I knew anything about. I slipped out of the bed and made my way to the bathroom, deciding to get ready before going downstairs because by what Cole had shared, between the twins and his mother, maybe I won’t get another chance to get dressed up for tonight’s dinner. Our very first Christmas dinner as husband and wife.When I got downsta
COLEViolet removed the makeshift blindfold and as soon as I opened my eyes I came face to face with... My own reflection. But no, that would be too tame a comparison to what I look like in a mirror. It actually was how my princess saw me. The painting dominated the white wall. And as I looked at it, I was amazed and in awe. With each stroke of the brush, my princess had captured a side of me that I didn’t even know existed. I remembered the moment when she must’ve gotten the inspiration for this one. I was in the pool, looking up at her as she laid there on the chaise. My arms were folded beneath my chin, my eyes squinting a little because of the sun high up in the sky shining down on us.And the way she had captured me, my features in exquisite detail, it didn’t hide the fact that I was in love with the person I was looking at. I never thought that I could be someone’s muse, that I’ll ever be able to inspire such breath-taking artwork in someone. But my princess, not only fell in l
VIOLETI was happy.No. That’s not right. We were happy. Impossibly so.More than I ever thought I could be, with the man that I loved with my whole heart. The man who loved me like I was the sole purpose of his life. Three weeks has passed and we were still in Italy, and to be honest, I didn’t want to leave. It was everything I could ever dream about. Turns out, I was dreaming for something I already had in my grasp. Living with Cole in Italy, in the bungalow at the corner of the city it felt like we were in our own separate heaven away from the world and it’s expectations, also away from the things that made me think that I was missing something from my life when I was already whole with him. It became our sanctuary, a place where time seemed to stand still and the worries of the world faded away.We had spent our days roaming around the city, taking pleasure in each other’s company and the sights we visited. Rome was really beautiful, alive with its energy. It’s ancient monuments
VIOLETI stared at my husband as he pulled on his suit jacket while standing in front of the floor length mirror. I was on the bed, lacing my heels but the picture my handsome husband painted was way to appealing to miss for anything. He looked edible enough to eat in the black shirt and black slacks. We were getting ready to go for dinner in the city with his uncle and as much as I wanted to rest and sleep for a bit to get rid of the jetlag I wanted to go out into the city more. “My eyes are up here, princess.”With a smile curving my lips, I looked up to meet his sherry eyes as he turned around to face me. I pursed my lips and with a teasing tone replied, “But that tushie is too impressive to not appreciate it.”“Is it, now?” He murmured as he walked toward me. I nodded and smiled when he brushed a kiss on my cheek and then crouched down in front of me to tie the laces of my heels.When he looked up, I cupped his cheeks and kissed him slowly. We hadn’t had séx for obvious medical r
VIOLETWe landed in Italy and was welcomed by the warm embrace of the Mediterranean sun, its golden rays casted a luminous glow upon everything it touched. I watched my beautiful husband as he talked to the man who had approached us as soon as we had stepped down out on the tarmac. I held a bouquet of exotic flowers, courtesy of my husband’s uncle, a welcome to his country. But even those beautiful flowers didn’t hold my attention as my gaze went back to my husband as he made his way toward us and I saw the sun glittering in his brown eyes, reminding me all the time he had been the light in my darkness. I took notice of the way his shoulders were relaxed and the pleasant smile that curved his lips and I knew that coming here was the best decision. As he drew closer, he held up the keys. “I guess my uncle decided to ignore our wish to refuse his gifts.”I arched a brow. “What's that?” He grabbed my hand and said, “Let’s see.” We walked off the runway. The man following us with our
VIOLETA nervous energy hummed beneath my skin. It was the first time I was going to fly in a plane. And not just any ordinary plane. We were going to Italy in one of his Uncle’s jet and it appeared bigger than the usual one. I had heard him talking to his uncle on a video call. Cole had denied his uncle’s offer and mentioned that we could fly business class but his uncle had pushed. Cole had said, “But, seriously, I’d rather not have my wife in that jet where you spent your days partying and doing God knows what not.”“I haven’t touched that thing in so long.” Came his uncle’s accented reply.“Seriously? How long was that?” My husband had asked sceptically. “Four months?”I had almost laughed out loud at that but then I'd silently nodded at Cole to agree, as since our loss his uncle has been trying to cheer us up by doing things in his own way. He sent us a custom made Aston Martin and a Ferrari, for god sake. Apparently his uncle has so much money that a few hundred millions were p
