CHAPTER 1: SHADOW MISTRESS

“Why don’t you just pull that little thing down so I can get a better look?” said the big man who was now looking directly into the eyes of Anastasia, “I can even help you dry yourself if you can’t reach other parts of your body, little lady.” He was teasing her as he looked at every curve of her slender body. 

There were only the two of them in the pool side in the middle of the night, and Anastacia knew that the man in front of her was drooling over her the whole day. 

Ms. Anastacia was already twenty, so she didn’t appreciate the term, little lady, from the big man in front of her, no matter how hot he was. She was a slender woman who was five feet and eight inches tall, with wide hips and a full breast which would make her anything but a little lady. She took pride in her beautiful figure that matched her fiery red hair with blonde streaks, and emerald green eyes. She was light skinned, and she was turning a bit red from the heat of the sun since she was constantly walking around the beach. She wore her red two piece bikini and was wiping off the excess water that was dripping from her hair after she took a quick dip in the hotel’s pool.

As she wiped her hair, her eyes never left the man’s eyes. She knew that as she bit her lips a bit and trailed the towel from her hair to her breasts, that the man’s eyes followed. She saw his growing excitement in front of her, and she couldn’t deny that she had a bit of the same excitement as well.

Anastasia met the big man’s black eyes as she continued to wipe her body, then back to her hair seductively all the while giving him an innocent look af if she was asking him to come nearer. She stood her ground as the man walked towards her quickly with an obvious smirk on his face. She was now standing about five feet away from the big buff man who looked like he was about six feet and five inches tall, and she could see him more clearly. It was nearly one in the morning, and the only way for her to check his features was the dim lights around the pool, and the bright moon above them. 

She lets her eyes travel across the man’s body once more and linger a little bit on his toned abs and follow the line that leads to something in his lower region. She didn’t make a sound as she continued to dry off her body slowly.

She heard him take a deep breath and release it slowly as she saw that he began to clench and unclench his fist from his sides. Anastasia realized that he was all muscle, and he had a golden brown tan, which was probably from all the surfing he has been doing.

Anastasia walked a bit closer and grabbed hold of the man’s muscled arm as she let her fingers glide from his bicep to his hand and intertwined their fingers together. It wasn't what the man was used to, but he knew it would be best to just let the beautiful lady do what she wants. The big man never stopped staring at Anastasia’s beautiful face as every part of his body burned from her touch. He was mesmerized by her graceful yet bold actions, and he knew that his trunks could never hide his true reaction from her.

“What’s your name?” He asked in a strained voice. Never did the big man once move aside or take control, for he was too curious of what the seductive woman was planning on doing. Whatever happens, he knew that the two of them would never let this night end without getting a taste of each other. 

“Ana,” she said with a purr, and the big man felt like his insides were being roasted by lava, “How about you?” She asked as she suddenly pulled away as if she got burnt.

“I’m sorry,” she said with a shy look on her face, “Your words tempted me to touch you and I don’t even know your name, Mr.” she said as she proceeded to cover her body with the small towel that she had.

“The name is Ajax, hon,” he said with a smirk, “I don’t mind you losing yourself and touching more than what you’ve already done, sweetheart. I hope you don’t mind if I tempt you more?” he said boldly and Anastacia smiled shyly. He was enjoying the obvious international battle that Ana was having. He knew that a few more words and touches would send her overboard.

Ajax has been watching Ana for the entire day, and he knows a lot of the men on the beach were doing the same thing. The only difference was that he was bold enough to wait for her to finish dipping in the pool before taking his chance of getting her. The others failed miserably because they tried to take her as soon as they saw her. Ajax knew that she was the kind of girl who likes to play more before getting it on. He wanted her, and he knows that by the end of the night, he'll be deep inside of her in every way possible. He smirked at the thought.

“Ana is a nice name,” he said as he approached her a bit menacingly, but she never once backed away. She stood her ground and met his eyes as he licked his lips. The woman was indeed feisty, and he was loving it. 

"Do you want to hear more tempting words, Ana?" Ajax asked as he towered over her. He made his presence known to her, and he saw her bite her cherry plum lips. 

"If my words can cause you to lose yourself a little, then I can assure you that my words are only half of what I can really do to your self-control." He said as he walked closer, and now, they were only a few inches away from each other.

Ajax was now half a foot away from Ana, and she looked up as he briefly shifted his weight so their chest would touch for a millisecond before he backed away and maintained the half-foot distance he made between them.

Without saying a word, Ana took the man’s hand and pulled him towards the exit with her towel on her hand. She no longer found the need to cover herself. Ajax pulled her and carried her bridal style as the man gave her a grin that felt like it could tear the man’s mouth. Ana just gave him a seductive smile and bit his ear softly while wrapping her slender arms around the man’s thick neck.

“You’re a minx, do you know that, little Ana?” He said as he quickly jogged with Ana in his hand and went straight to his room. 

“I guess it’s just the two of us on this floor,” Ana said as Ajax scanned his thumb on the biometric scanner of the hotel room and opened the door.

“Then that means you can scream and moan all you want, sweetheart, and no one would even bother to interrupt us. Now, you can lose control all you want,” he said as he gave her a big kiss on the middle of her chest. Now, as he sucked furiously while closing the door, she was sure that it left a pretty big mark. Ana gave a long moan of pleasure while she grabbed a fistful of his hair as if to tell him to hurry up. His one hand kept her body close to his while his other hand began to squeeze Ana’s thighs and butt which earned another moan of pleasure from her. 

Anastasia was the kind of woman who oozes innocence but with a hint of mystery. She locked eyes with Ajax as she felt him squeeze her thighs and bottom while he carried her towards his bed. She loved the way he looked like he was the one who was losing control. To a woman, the way she held the control in bed without him realizing it is a goal that she loves achieving.

Ana, closed her eyes and moaned as Ajax moved one of his hands and squeezed her right breast while kissing her lips. He threw her on the bed and went on top of her. He was crushing her, but he was too filled with uncontrollable desire to care about anything else. He looked at her face as she looked down at his bulge and gave it a soft touch. He groaned and cursed as he grabbed her bikini and tore it, as he quickly took her left mound in his mouth and sucked hard and fast. Ana moaned loud and hissed at the sensation. He released the perfect mound and went to the other one and sucked harder. 

Ajax felt like he was going to explode, and as he looked up while sucking her breast, he suddenly groaned in pleasure when he saw that Anastacia was moaning and from time to time, she looked down at him sucking and gave him a smirk before biting her lips and moaning when his teeth grazed one of her nipples. He was both shocked at her reaction and turned on by her boldness and refusal to back down. It made him feel wild at the thought of the woman beneath him.

Ajax grabbed his package and positioned himself. He looked at the woman beneath him and he groaned loudly when he felt the tip of the hard thing between them enter the body as blood dripped between them. Ajax couldn’t move as he looked down at the knife that Ana hand stabbed on his side while her fingers held on to a vein on his neck in a warning manner. His member instantly began to soften at the realization that the woman he was supposed to penetrate with his cock, was able to stab him with a knife.

“Wh-what…?” he stuttered as pain instantly radiated from the stab wound. “Wh-who…aah!” he screamed as Anastasia plunged the knife deeper into his side. The bitch was carrying a knife, and yet he had no idea where she hid the damned knife.

Ajax couldn’t move as he knew the moment Ana pressed hard on the vein on his neck, he’d lose his consciousness. Losing his consciousness could possibly cause him his life if he fainted with a double bladed knife stuck in his body. The bitch tricked him, and he cursed multiple times as he realized that she probably used the towel to hide the knife from plain sight.

“Who are you, you bitch?!” He screamed as he saw Anas’s eyes turn gold. The hairs on his body stood up as she smirked with her pointy teeth showing a bit.

“This is for the little girl you raped over and over again, you monster!” She screamed as she plunged the knife deeper.

Ajax screamed as she twisted the knife and left him on the bed. Anastacia was an assassin, but this time, she killed the guy out of pure hatred. She knew he was the guy who hired her twin brother who was also an assassin to kill his enemy. However, as soon as her brother Anastagio told her about him, she made up her mind to kill the guy while Anastagio was currently hacking the guy’s bank accounts to get all his money.

“Wh-who a-are…y-you?” Ajax managed to groan out the words.

“I’m the one who gave you the karma you deserve,” she said as she watched him cough up more blood, “Meet your fellow monsters in hell.” She said as the door opened, and her brother suddenly appeared beside her and gave her a gallon of gasoline. The two of them lit the entire room on fire as they left without a trace.

“Sis, I think you need to calm down,” Anastagio, her identical twin said, “Your eyes are still gold, and your fangs are still out. Humans will see you if you don’t hide those.”

Being a hybrid werewolf had its perks, but she calmed herself down since her emotions made it difficult to hide her werewolf features. It was going to be difficult, but with the money they received, building their empire in the mafia world will be a bit easier.
