"This is who I am Nova!, Nobody said you had to like it." But I did.NovaI wake up with a gasp!He's in my dreams, and his hands are all over me.For a moment I'm still lost in the sensation of it all, his touch setting every inch of me on fire, his distorted voice in my ear, goading me to let my fingers travel down between my legs, his weight pressing me down into the mattress-- this is the closest we've ever been.He raised the mask above his lips and I could feel his hot breath on my neck, my face, and my chest. His hands trailed my body, teasing me, torturing me. I'm about to give in and let my hands stray down and touch myself when I remember where I am, Alone in my bed. Having sexual dreams about the faceless man has been terrorizing my life ever since I moved here.Yanking my head back up over the covers, I cover my eyes and take a minute to let go of all this unwanted.... desire. God! What is wrong with me? The man is a murderer for heaven's sake! And here I am, fantasizing a
He is my fury...NovaAn hour later I'm still staring at the "gift" on my table. I called Tiffany an hour ago to tell her what I saw, but she was in a class. She promised me she would leave and get here as soon as she can.He was here again, In my home. It's supposed to be my haven, a private place just for me, but now I'm sharing it with a murderer.'Who kills for you' my subconscious retortsI didn't ask for this! I didn't ask for any of this. I don't want to be stalked and given weird gifts. I want to live my life like a normal person in college, not have a murderer after me. Watching my every move, and then waltzes into my house whenever he feels like it.I picked up my phone to call Leo, and then I changed my mind. We've only been talking and going out, and bringing him into my issues felt selfish.Just say it. You're scared he'll kill Leo. I need to figure out a way to silence this voice in my head... permanently.But it's right. What if he kills Leo? I'd never forgive myself if
Nova"Get out!" I yell and point my finger in the direction of the door"You know I'm right." He whispers as he walks around me, his height towering over my smaller frame compared to his. At this moment, I'm his prey."You're not," I yell as loud as I canHe chuckles lowly "Tell me you don't want to know what it feels like to be stretched out, to be full to the hilt," he brings his lips closer to my ears "My cock buried deep inside you, pulsing, thrusting deep and fast inside you""You're lying."He laughs "I see why you'd think that. But I assure you, I'm not lying this time" he stops moving around me and stands in front of me."What's to say you won't come back if I do it?" He plays with my hair"You want to get rid of me and I want to fuck you. If you ask me, that's a win on both sides." His hands drop to his side "So tell me sweet, Nova. What's it gonna be?""So that's it? You just leave?" This sounded way too good to be true"Yeah. Unless you want me to stay, then sure""I- I don
Leonardo"Excuse me, sir. Sorry to bother you, Mr. Ricci, but there's a Miss Aaliyah here to see you. I've been informed that she seems persistent and is refusing to get an appointment." At the mention of her name, I raise my head in the direction of the door, where my secretary is standing."Send her in," I tell herI must have fucked up big time for Aaliyah to be here. I chuckle as I try to think of what the reason for her visit, could be. I lift my legs onto my table and let my hands rest behind my headI hear her footsteps on the other side of the door and minutes later her small frame appears - small compared to me. "Are you fucking your secretary?" I smile, there's the Aaliyah I know and love."What do you think?" I get up and walk around the table to where she is so I can hug her.Her arms are outstretched, like always "I think you were either fucking her or still fucking her. Either way, she's one jealous bi... woman" Her swift correction has me suppressing my laugh."I've mis
Nova"I told you I'm working on it, I'll call you when I'm ready and I've got something good. Yes! Stop calling me!" Tiffany curses loudly after she ends the call in annoyance. Her back was to me, she looked tense."Hey, that sounded like a lot. You good?" I askShe jumps a little and turns to face me "Yeah. How are you?"I want to ask but I decide to ignore it. "I, uh. Sorry I let myself in, I was knocking but you were..." I trailed off referring to her call"Oh yeah, that." She raises the phone"Are you okay, Tiffany?" I ask again. I've never seen her this way"Yeah, why do you ask?" She walks to her fridge and pours herself a drinkI shrug "You look stressed, I guess""I'm fine. Why are you here?" She asks rudelyI'm taken aback but I don't bother asking about her attitude, I know when I'm not wanted "You agreed to meet up so we could talk" I remind her "That's the only reason I'm here"She puts her hand on her forehead and groans as if suddenly remembering "That's true. Shit. Let'
1 year agoLeonardo"What are you going to do about it now?" Roman asks before taking the seat next to meI shrug."Talk to me, man. I know you, and I know you always have a plan. So, what's the plan this time?"Nothing at all. I'm just gonna leave this place for a while" I murmurI'm not running. I'm just taking a break."What do you mean by leaving this place?" Roman asksThe both of us were currently seated in his house. I came here because I needed someone to talk to, and he's the only available friend."I'm going to take a long drive somewhere, probably buy a small house and stay there for a while" I reply truthfullyHe scrutinizes me "That doesn't sound like you""Well, If I behave like me I'm pretty sure I'll go back home and kill her, and trust me I have the urge to." Annoyance was beginning to seep in again at the thought of Priscilla Lincoln."You can't let her win. She's never going to stop. And running away doesn't solve anything" His advice would sound really good if my m
Nova"Leo, why are we here?" I ask in between laughsHe shrugs "I just want you to know a lot about me"My smile falters "But why is that?" We both agreed to take it slow so, his bringing me here is extremely confusing."I can already see the wheels turning in your pretty head. Don't worry we're still taking it slow. I know you know nothing about me so this is a start." He explains to me while I look at the entrance of the building through the car windowI eye the huge building "Well, how does this relate to you?""I own the company"I raise a brow "I don't understand. You own this place," I point to it "It's yours?"He chuckles "Yes. I know you're confused but I can explain. Can we go in?"I'm too shocked to utter any words all I can do is nod. My lips are parted and my eyes are surveying the entire building. The tall building stood tall, with its marbled walls and shiny tiles.After coming around to open my door Leo takes my hand in his and leads the way "You said you're here visiti
LeonardoMaking someone fall in love with a lie is easy, but having them fall in love with the truth is the best. It may be difficult at first, but it works out.I have no intentions of falling in love, not even with Nova. But I do intend to make her love every fucked up part of me immensely.I want her to be consumed by my very being. And I'm going to make her realize that no matter where she runs to, or how far she runs, I'll find her and make sure she comes back to me.Having my plan go exactly how I want it, brings a smile to my face.Talking of plans, I took her to the company. Although, I meant the part where I told her that the reason I brought her was so she could know more about me.I was partially honest.I pick up the glass of whiskey from the counter and take it with me to her room.I accidentally hit the table with my leg while walking to the chair, and I'm not surprised to see her body stir a little in bed. It's been fun watching her pretend to sleep.She knows I'm here,
Leonardo I stare at Aaliyah and I can't help the small smile that appears on my face."You look happier," she mutters.I smile at her, "I am. So, when can you stop playing my fucking therapist." This was something we unknowingly started years ago after she got together with Roman and she witnessed me kill a man that almost raped her while Roman was been electrocuted repeatedly and made to watch. What I did was nothing compared to what Roman would have done if he had successfully gotten out of that chair. I was the lesser evil in my opinion.Aaliyah didn't see it that way. So here we are for one of our unexpected therapy sessions. You'd think for someone who is eight months pregnant she'd want to be in bed resting, instead, she's here grilling me about mental health and shit.I miss Nova. I'll make sure she pays for setting me up like this when she gets back from class."Why?"I chuckle, "Do you believe in fate?"She shook her head, confused. "I don't think so. Why?""Well, my answer
Nova Leo just strolled out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist looking as delicious as ever. My eyes roam over his body and I trail the droplets of water running down from his chest to his stomach imagining what my tongue would feel like when I lick it clean."Why do you look so good?" The question is out of my mouth before I can stop it.He smirks, "I can't help it. It's a blessing, baby.I move off the bed and stand in front of him. "I have the urge to climb you like a tree every time because you look so fucking good!" "Oh, really? What's stopping you?"There's a drop of water rolling from his shoulder down to his stomach. I bend in front of him before darting my tongue out to lick the water right above his navel. Leo releases a loud moan and it does something to me knowing the amount of control I have over him."That feel good?" I ask teasing."Fuck, yes.""Yeah," I look at the tent that's now forming under his towel. "You get that hard easily a lot?" I tease him and
Nova & Leo I make my way inside, trying to ignore the rush of blood in my ears and the deafening decibels of the metronome in my chest. The rush calms down when my eyes meet with bright blue eyes, silently reassuring me.If Leo was not here, I don't know what I'll do.But I do know it won't be pretty. People who say they aren't capable of violence are liars. Everyone is capable of it. It's a matter of learning what will push you to that point.I've spilled blood. Out of luck or whatever anyone wants to call it.This crusade is fueled by love. A pretty, sparkling, soft emotion, capable of wreaking more havoc than hate.Hate can't dig under the skin the way love does. It doesn't alter your cells or spark chemistry. You'd bleed for someone you love, never someone you truly hate. But hate holds a dark power of its own. And right now, both hate and love are driving my decisions.I'm volatile and angry.Terrified and nervous. As I look at the man I call my father, bound, and bruised
Leonardo I cock my head to the side, staring at the running man with bewilderment. “Why does he run like that?” I ask, genuinely concerned if Charles Klay likes to peg himself with foreign objects. Maybe one got stuck because Jesus fucking Christ, who runs like that? I can't believe we've been chasing Edward and his lackeys for close to a month and this limping ape is the closest thing to him that we've got.“That… that’s a good question,” Nate answers through my earpiece, sounding just as bemused as I am. He’s watching through the drone hovering over the awkwardly running dude. We’ve been tracking Charles Klay since he fled from Councilman David’s house. He wasn’t hard to find despite his best efforts to stay hidden. I’m sure it hurt his shriveled little soul to have millions of dollars and not be able to fuck off to a tropical island with strippers and blow. Guess the dude hasn’t fried his brain with drugs so badly that he’s not aware of the massive target on his back.H
Leo I stare at Nova's face and the way she grips my hand and rubs it reassuringly. "Let's go inside, baby. I have a surprise for you.""A surprise? Leo are you sure you want to go in there? All you have in this place are bad memories. Why would you want to go in there?" The worry in her tone almost deters me but I remembered why I chose to come here.I pull her closer to me, my hands wrapped around her waist. As my fingers roam all over her soft supple skin I have it in me to fuck her here against a tree and from the way she's breathing I'm sure she feels the same way. "It's okay, my love.""I just don't want this ugly place to trigger any bad memories for you." She places her palm on my cheek.I lean my face into her touch, "I'll be fine, I've got you. Just be here, okay? Can you do that for me, baby?" I ask her"Always. It's you and me, Leonardo Ricci."I kiss her deeply and passionately. "That's my girl. Now, let's go see your surprise.""This is an unexpected place for a surpr
Nova"Can I take you somewhere?" Leo asks. I've just stepped out of the bathroom from my shower, yanking a brush through my wet, tangled hair. I tear the bristles through a particularly brutal knot, uncaring of the way the strands tear. "Baby, you're hurting your hair. Let me brush it." Feeling defeated, I slump my shoulders, trudge over to him, and sit on the floor between his spread knees. He takes the brush from me and gently starts running it through the sopping tresses, slowly detangling the mop on my head. It feels nice, but I'm too tired to appreciate it. Leo was right. Happiness is fleeting, however, over the past weeks, he's done everything in his power to help me hold on to any semblance of peace. Finishing with the brush, he sets it down on the bed and gathers my hair together. I nearly choke when he begins braiding it. "Where the hell did you learn to do that?" I ask. I'm tempted to twist around like a dog chasing its tail, just so I can witness this. "Aaliyah taug
Leo "I'm not surprised my mum hasn't called." She sighs tiredly before sitting on the bed "Even my brother, Chance. Do you think they're part of everything alongside Edward?""I don't know, baby. I don't care what they are part of as far as they didn't come for you.""Hmm," She's silent for a beat. "I can't believe our fathers love each other. It's scary to imagine." There's a small smile on her face and I'm happy to see she's gradually moving past what happened."I'd rather not have that sort of image in my head right now, darling.""I'm sorry," she smiles.I settle in deeper next to her, slumping against the stone wall, careful not to touch her, though my body is vibrating with the need to. We haven’t touched since I found her in the hangar, and each second feels like a stab in the chest. Fiending for Nova Carter is a feeling I’m old friends with, but this is the first time I refuse to act on it. “You don't have to apologize. Tell me about her,” I say. “Tell me everything
Nova "So, If I'm not hallucinating, why the hell is Tiffany tied to a chair? And why are we in a hangar? How did I get here? Whose jet is that?" I asked Leo after taking a look around. The last thing I remember was running and then seeing a dead body before I passed out.How the hell did I get to this unfamiliar hangar? I woke up not long ago to see Tiffany tied to a chair with two bleeding stab wounds in her thigh. Leo said he was responsible and he didn't look one bit remorseful about it.I stand up from the bed and I'm about to walk down to where Tiffany is when Leo holds me back. "I'm going to explain, baby. But first, you need to rest.""Why is she here, Leo? Why did you hurt her?" I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. I know he'd never hurt Tiffany without reason, but I still want to hear him say it."Because she hurt you. And for that, she can't go unpunished." "W-what do you mean?" My throat still hurts a little with each word I utter."Tiffany was the one who brought
Leonardo I'm going to kill Alessandro. I intended to kill him before but the urge to kill him is stinger now, it's almost maddening. And as for Edward, I might let Nova decide what happens to him."Can I at least have a bandage or shirt to stop the blood? It's too much" Tiffany asks."Keep talking before I decide that the next place this scalpel will enter is the side of your neck. Keep talking."She sighs defeatedly before obeying. Alessandro approached me first. He seemed to know everything about me and how my brother was murdered. He said he and Edward could help me get revenge and also pay me if I did what they wanted. I was desperate, so I agreed. He gave me a file that contained a lot of things about you. He didn't disclose fully how he got it but he knew I knew you. He later on told me that you were once an agent part of this secret organization funded by some government officials, but you went rogue." Tiffany's eyes lock with mine. "He said you were desperate but he's no
