We all like things to be predictable. We expect things to be safe and to keep on happening just the way they always have. We expect the sun to rise in the morning. We expect to get up, survive the day and finish up back in bed at the end of it, ready to start all over again the next day. But maybe that's just a trick we play on ourselves, our way of making life seem ordinary. Because the truth is, life is so extraordinary that for most of the time, we can't bring ourselves to look at it. It's too bright, and it hurts our eyes. The fact of the matter is that nothing is ever certain. But most people never find that out until the ground suddenly disappears from beneath their feet.
Now I am a man that does believe that things should just happen; I preferred to have them planned. Unpredictability, uncertainty, and the great unknown, somewhat throws my shit off balance. I do not sit well with things falling in my lap, nor do I like them to land in my way. I am a man tha
I have always prided myself in running a tight ship, my crew is loyal, and I need not have to worry that word gets out that should be left unsaid. Should you find yourself passing along information, you will have your feet cemented at the bottom of the docks, deep down where the sunlight shall never reach you again.Now I have been fair and let an accident here and there slip, though foolish for it shows that you do not have control. So to say that you do not cross Hunter King, you should heed the warning and remain with your mouth shut.But, I am now faced with someone, and I am yet to find out now, but there has been a brave soul that has gone and run his mouth off about Raven and me. This led Roman Sloane to wander into my turf, and that I shall simply not stand for.So, I am safe to say that I have a fair idea of who it is, he is the newest part of my crew, and when he gets a slight bit drunk, well, his mouth just starts to run.In a few moments, Maso
…Raven POV…I have never experienced excitement yet being so scared in my life before. Here I have the most sought-after man in the city, with his fingers laced into mine and leading me towards his bedroom. I know, let us rather rephrase; I am under the impression that we have come to change his bloody pants. Though, I have been far too close to my own arousal if I think that Hunter King is going to let me sit on his bed and watch him change.So this has become rather nerve-racking for me. See, Raven Sloan has a little secret, and I guess that Hunter King is about to uncover it. Should I say, or should I just let it play out? One thing I do know is that he is a man that does not like being lied to.Guess, as he is dropping those pants, and I have nothing but a tight ass for mine to take, I only but chuckle at him, “Did you perhaps forget those bare necessities this morning?”He looks at me over his shoulder with nothing but a smi
…Raven POV…Everything is happening so fast now. I only have but just met Hunter. Do I know what I am doing? Not the slightest bit at all, but with Hunter by my side, I shall be able to set my mind to do what it is to what I wish it would be doing.Now, he is under the firm impression that my father has sent for someone to follow him, for this is now the second night in a row that I have not gone home after the club. So I am pretty sure that my father is convinced that I have been staying with Hunter.Even though he does not fear for what my father would try to do to him, I do fear what punishment will come my way.So we are finding ourselves in his rather oversized bath; while he has his hands firmly wrapped around my waist, he softly speaks to me, “Princess, we need to talk about your father.”"You know that is such a mood killer, you trying to talk business while I am trying to take advantage of you."He only but
Last night was hot, my princess has found something new to play with, and god, the girl is insatiable. Having her so close to me the whole night was just as hard; I could barely keep these hands from melting into her body. She has filled those empty spaces in my bed with every part of her luscious limbs. I wish so badly that she never has to leave, but we have her dear father who is on to us; therefore, this morning is hard as I need to take her back to the club to fetch her car.The intention was to take her home last night, but we could not get as far as the front door without ripping each other’s clothes off. So it was a poor attempt that miserably failed, and I had her in my arms for even longer than I did plan for.But we are playing a dangerous game; we are tempting an old enemy that is not afraid to get his hands dirty, and shall I even mention, he does not care who comes in the way. The man is a monster, and I am playing with his daughter.Bu
As I slowly open my eyes, I am immediately struck by a pounding headache, and fuck does it hurt like a bitch. But that is not my concern, my concern is Raven, and as I look over to her, I am so fucking relieved that she is still there. Though still there how I do not now. So I abandon my seat in an instant and rush over to her side; as I open her door, her limp body falls out from the seat. My heart stops, and I cannot fucking breathe.Fuck Raven!I can only utter two words as I pull her from the car and gently lay her body on the ground. It is goddamn terrifying seeing the cut on her forehead where she hit the front seat. She was not wearing her goddamn seatbelt even after I ask her to. What did she say, ‘It is too tight,’ well, girl, that damn dress is tight.But now is not the time to get mad at her, but believe me, once I get her awake, she is getting every word from me. She will not give me such a damn fright again. Though fright is what is runn
The time has come. I need to focus on business, and this means that the war is now truly going to start. I shall need to express to Raven that I am going to go after her father. All I need to know is if she shall remain by my side no matter what happens.Now, I think to be true to myself; I am going to admit that Sloane shall not make it out alive. His time has come, and the seconds are ticking. But I am not going to make it easy; of course, I am going to play a little cat and mouse game. I want to see him suffer; I want the fear to ravage through his body until he cannot think straight. This is not going to be easy; in fact, it is going to be hard, and it is going to get very ugly.I need to have my princess on my side, but it is not every day that someone tells you that he is going to kill your father. I think in the back of her mind, she knows that, but she does not want to say a word or even dare to ask.Now, the question begs, do I tell her now, or wait unt
I am looking into brown eyes that do not fully understand what I am saying. Yet, I know that she does; she does not want to face the reality. It is hard and terrifying to have to come to face with what will be the biggest decision you shall ever make in your life.And if I could, rather if I would want to, which I do not, I would have done things differently. But the fact is that this shall go ahead, and if she has to reject me, once again, then it shall be with great sorrow and pain that I shall face her when I take the life of her father.I shall never, and I shall rather die, but it shall never hurt the woman. But there is one thing that she needs to understand.“Princess, I know that right now, I stand a great chance that you will turn around and leave me. Should you leave, then you would break my heart beyond compare.”“Hunter, you need to understand then that I shall break my father and my mother if I wish to stay.”&l
Everything about her is perfect. The sheer softness of her hair as I run my hands through it. The taste of sweet cotton candy that lingers on her lips. Her breath that warms my cheek. The way she plays with the hair at the back of my head that tickles my neck.She presses her lips against mine even harder. Lightning passes through me. I feel lost in a different universe, and she is slowly taking me away. Her cold hand creeps from my neck down my spine and pulls me closer. Her touch makes my body shiver. Her delicate, innocent kiss makes my heart flutter. Then it races. My body surrenders. I let her kiss me for as long as she wants. Every time I let go, I go back and kiss her again softly.After what seems like being away for hours, we part and put our foreheads together. Lost in each other’s presence, we stay in the moment; I take her chin in my hand, “Say it again.”“Yes, I will stay with you.”Just as I pull her closer to m
This must be an awful nightmare. Am I seriously getting arrested at my own wedding? Someone better kick me and tell me this is one fucked up joke. I can seriously not be getting arrested at my own wedding. What have I done? Stupid question, more like what did I not do. How would they even know? But I am afraid it is not a joke because they are coming closer and they sure do have a set of handcuffs in their hand. There is a damn room full of mafia bosses, why the fuck can't they arrest one of them. Raven is going to kill me even before I get locked up. But hey, maybe I should act dumb and they will think they have the wrong man, ”Sorry but you need to repeat that.” We said you are under arrest, Mr. King.” “You do see that I am busy getting married?” “We apologize Sir but you have to come with us.” Then from next to me, a shocked Raven speaks for the first time, “Just wait one fucking minute!” “I am sorry Mam but your husband has
…Raven POV…The time has come for me to turn the corner. The time has come for me to make my bridal walk towards the man that I will be spending the rest of my life with. This is the very last moment that I can still decide to do this and turn around and run. But as I peek my head around to where he is standing at the altar, I know that I am exactly where I want to be.With a very nervous Ava behind me, I am being urged on to make my bridal walk down a carpet that is covered with, yes, much to Hunter's horror; it is covered in pink rose petals.But first Ava pulls at my hair and checks my dress, and I have a quick look at my make-up. Ava then looks at me, "Now let us get this wedding on the way."I take one step forward and then another, short and hesitant, but slowly to my future. Then the wedding march starts playing, and I know that it is time to go. So I slip in that corning in absolute elegance.At first, my eyes lie low, too sca
…Raven POV…What I feared has happened, Ava has dragged me into her room just before sunrise to start getting me ready for a wedding that is only happening in eight hours. By the looks of her, it seems that she has not slept a wink. So I refrain from making any comments and allow her to pull at my head in every direction to get the perfect do that, as she says, will complement my face and, of course, my dress.After what seems like at least three hours, she looks at me very satisfied in the mirror and nod at her creation.Next is my wedding dressing, now if I thought that this would be easier, well, it is an understatement. If it is not bad enough that they cannot tuck my breasts in properly, which seems to have grown overnight, they try to move my belly into the perfect spot.With only but an hour two spare, they slip into their dresses, and we look at each other, then of course she says something, and there goes my make-up down my face.
Before sunset tomorrow, I will be married to the love of my life. To say that I am not a wreck would be a complete understatement.I do believe that I have told this once before, yet, again, I need to stop for one moment and take a step back, for, beyond all the craziness that fill our lives, I need to allow myself to remember what drives me. What makes this all worthwhile is the beauty that lies in my arms. Should I not have had her presence in my life, I would not have had the sheer willpower to take the impossible on.To have beauty in your life is easy, but to have the beauty of the woman that you love and the one that loves you in return is the greatest gift that one can experience. I can, with all honesty, say that there is no doubt that she completes my life. To be lonely for eternity can be seen as a life sentence, but having what you crave, is the greatest blessing.I have never been more assured to have chosen her to be mine for life. I will promise he
After we bid our farewell to everyone, my intention is to retire to my room and not to leave it at least for another day. And I do see the same sentiment on my princess's face. But what I also noticed is that cheeky smile that is starting to rise at the corner of her lips. In such a strange time, I become aware of her arousal."Princess, I do believe that you possess somewhat of a dilemma...""Hunter.""Yes, Princess?""You shall possess your own dilemma if you wish to continue your sentence."So it is in awe as I watch her make elegant strides as she ascends the stairs. She moves every curve to perfect precision, her hips rock from side to side, and it peaks my arousal. I have to fight the desire to pull her back and take her right at this very moment. I can so easily push her petite frame into this very wall that is presenting itself at the perfect timing, and that is exactly what I intend on doing.It is as if an animal is awakened inside
This engagement party has got me stressed. Why I let my princess convince me to do this, is beyond my senses. Everyone is running around like a bunch of crazy people.But let us forget about the people running around like crazy people, that perky ass has been running up and down past me this whole morning, and every time she does fuck! I get hard. But wait...the little minx is not even wearing panties.The girl is driving me crazy.I so seriously want to slap that ass for making me so very frustrated.But...then she comes walking up to me."Hey.""Hey, princess. What is wrong, well apart from you lacking underwear? Did you run out of fresh ones?""No, I just love how the cool air blows against me.""God, give me ten minutes, and I will blow more than cool air against you.""Hunter!""Princess, the next time that skirt flares, I am pinning you on that table.""Well..."Fuck...when Raven says, well, she is about to get her way...Or she already has.
Today is the day. It might as well be my wedding day, for I feel that I am near damn going to faint. So Raven slammed me back with a condition of her own. If I want to get married, then she wants to have some dreadful engagement party. Well, I think I am nearly going to die; for a second time, I need to go down on my knee and ask her for her hand in marriage. So, while she is running around for what is the fifth dress to wear now, I sit in a silent chuckle as I find it rather amusing. Now all of them are all white; the first thing she so kindly pointed out to me is that you get different shades of white; well, that does not seem obvious to me at all. The second thing is that my blue shirt is not matching her white dress. Now I should have never asked her if it is the right kind of white, for I had some kind of white stilettos come flying my way. "Princess, how much longer are you going to take?" "Just give me five more minutes." So patiently t
I have been standing outside of Raven’s room, waiting. I don’t know if she knows that I am here, but I guess by the nervous pacing that she has a good idea that I am lingering outside here.Ya, I fucking love the woman.But she is now driving me insane. She, exactly in Mason’s words, threw a total tantrum when she had realized that I had left, and she knew there was only one place that I went.Now, I have a temper that will come out when you have tested me beyond my patience. Yet, I can control it to a certain extent, the extent being when it is not Raven that is involved. But this woman throws a tantrum as if she gets fucking paid for it.It is complete bullshit.So, my patience is up, and I am about to enter this room whether or not she likes it.With nothing but a very determined and angry hand, I fling the door open, I have Raven in my face trying to squeeze past.“Oh no, you are not princess. I am not Maso
So next, I find myself sneak out the front door without Mason taking note of me disappearing out of the gates in my car; as I make my way in the drizzle of the night, I find my way navigating the streets towards my destination, the street lights are falling in shadows down a very ominous path. There is absolute silence, but only for the roar of the engine that echoes over the pitter-patter of the raindrops beating onto the sidewalk. There is a danger that is lurking here. There is a danger that is hiding in the shadows that is ready to step out and destroy what is in its path. That danger is me.It does not take very long for my destination to appear.Have I gone fucking insane once again?I think I have lost my sanity the first time I ever laid these lips on Raven Sloane.Yet, I am not done fighting for her, not tonight, not tomorrow, not ever.So, I am finding myself stopped in front of a gate; from what I can see, it is quiet, do I even wi
