“So, Andrea… What were your previous relationships like?”
“Why do you mean with that question?” she narrowed her eyes, not liking the look in his eyes at all.
“Wasn’t it you who said we should get to know each other better on our first date and nothing more?” Malcolm rested his elbow on the table and his chin in his hand, looking genuinely interested in what she had to say “It's just something I want to know about you.”
“Very well…” Andy straightened up, knowing she shouldn't be embarrassed about what he was about to say, even if it was in front of Gabriel “Actually, I've never been in a serious relationship.”
"Serious? But, you have such a pretty face...” Malcolm sighed, wi
The first date of Andy's life had been terrible enough that she only realized that she should be bothered by the fact that Gabriel was following her when they were almost beside her car. However, that day had already been so tiring that, instead of starting to shout furiously at him as soon as he turned around, Andy just stared at him with a raised eyebrow, until he had the decency to look embarrassed.“Uh… I think you might want to know what I'm doing here…” he massaged the back of his neck, avoiding meeting her eyes.“What gave you that impression?” Andy crossed her arms, waiting to see what kind of excuse he would come up with.“I… I know I shouldn't have butted into this, but…” Gabriel swallowed hard, not seeming to know how he should act “I d
Andy shouldn't have been surprised that there was a captive audience waiting for her once her date was over, but still, when the car finally pulled into the Vamcap estate and she saw her sister-in-law, Rose, sitting at one of the tables in the garden with Harriet, she couldn't help but sigh. Not because she didn't want to see her friends and talk about the whole disaster, but because... Andy wanted to test the theory that if she spent some time alone just thinking and being rational about it all, she could get rid of all those annoying thoughts about Gabriel.The moment she set foot on the grass in the garden, Rose and Harriet immediately stopped talking, straightening up in their chairs and looking at her with expectant eyes, while Andy practically crawled over to them, giving them enough timeto think a little and realize that if she was home so early, it was because something had gone seriously wro
“You know, Mr. Ferrars, this table has twenty-two empty and perfectly comfortable seats, plus the one right next to me.” Andy grumbled, but Gabriel pretended not to hear, continuing to lean close to her, almost resting his head against her shoulder, as he pretended to be watching what she was typing on the laptop screen, rather than just enjoying the smell of her perfume or the warmth of your proximity.“Now the clause is exactly as I wanted. Great work as always, Miss. Vamcap.” he praised her with a smile, although that, as always, only made the frown on her face worse.“If you really trust my work that much, then maybe you should try staying in your office and waiting for me to email you everything. Or are you afraid that I will ruin your business if you let me work alone and in peace?” She gave an acidic smile, but Gabriel
As he watched those two scoundrels freeze in front of Andy's calm and threatening smile, Gabriel found himself with his blood boiling, but this time with anger, practically fixated on the way Andy took a step forward, placing a hand on the old man's shoulder, before starting to speak, in a tone of advice.“What happened, Walter? Why are you surprised? You seemed so sure that I had no shame in using Vamcap's money to get everything I want. It must have crossed your mind that one day I would use this against you, as you were so determined to discredit me from the day I joined this firm as an intern, over five years ago.” Andy shrugged, moving away from the two again, this time looking at the woman “Why are those terrified expressions? This doesn't seem like the behavior of two people who truly believed I was an unscrupulous diva who bought whatever she wanted. Were you guys acting like that
It was very ironic that, after almost a month had passed since the day she had made that deal with Gabriel, the thing that was bothering Andy the most at that moment was not the fact that he had taken her on several dates. But he hadn't taken her anywhere else besides that first one.Not that that meant he'd left her alone, of course. Quite the opposite, in fact. He was still visiting the firm often enough to make anyone believe he now worked there and not at the firm itself. All of this had made her believe that he wouldn't waste any time in dragging her to yet another restaurant or something, especially since he seemed to be getting more and more relaxed and comfortable around her lately, always smiling and following her around like she was the most interesting thing on the face of the earth.But not. That hadn't happened. And what disturbed her most was the
The minute after Harriet left, the door was opened and, struggling to put on a calm smile to welcome his new client, Andy saw a woman with long, straight brown hair, reaching almost to her waist, enter, with worried gray eyes remaining almost always directed towards the floor. However, once the door was closed behind her, the woman finally looked up, returning Andy's smile, although she still looked nervous.“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. McCoy.” Andy greeted her, gesturing towards the chair for her to sit down “Would you like me to order you a coffee or water?”“No, thank you very much…” she sat down, looking like she was trying very hard not to stutter “I… Uh… Sorry, but I don’t have much time, so…”"Don't worry. We can get
Feeling regret right after arriving at a date apparently was becoming a habit in Andy's life. Although, this time, instead of standing in her car wanting to leave, Andy was standing in front of a nightclub, watching as Connor, her latest attempt at a boyfriend or something, talked to the bouncers, who didn't seem at all pleased with his attempt to jump the queue.In all her 25 years of life, she had never felt as old as she did that day, knowing that all those bright lights and loud music would make her wake up with a headache the next morning, in addition to the crowd visible next door. from inside, where she would have to hide herself, was already making her skin itch and her lungs feel suffocated by the smell of drink and smoke. But, well, once in a lifetime wouldn't kill her, would it? She had given Malcolm's seemingly refined date a chance and it had been terrible. Who knows, maybe that one could surp
“Ferrars!” she growled, furious, as Gabriel continued to glare murderously at the three men before them “What a fuck are you doing in here?!”“You broke my nose, you piece of shit!” the man who had been hit screamed, rolling around on the ground like a child throwing a tantrum “Do you have any idea what you did? My father is the manager of this place and half the clubs in this city…!”“Good… That way I can make sure neither of you two work in this city again…” Gabriel growled, still with that almost crazy look on his face “But first, I'll make sure you don't have any more hands to touch her again… ”“Stop it, Ferrars!” Standing up, Andy placed herself between him and the three idiots, placing her hands on
In the Calibur Pack, no one was satisfied with the Alpha's wedding, especially himself. Hunter had spent the last few years being told by everyone that he should find a woman, even if she wasn't his fated mate, and produce an heir for the pack as soon as possible. And now, as he stood at the altar, wearing a suit so old it seemed to be squeezing even his soul, he could hear the agitated murmurs of his wolves, scattered around the small chapel honoring the Moon God, but not quiet enough to his Alpha's keen hearing could not hear. “Oh, our poor Alpha…” one of the older women in the pack whispered “We prayed so hard for the God to send him a good Luna and now this… What did Hunter do to deserve a woman like that?” “I heard she once had a maid cut off her own finger so she could eat it.” one of the teens said to his friends, as if telling a horror story. "This is ridiculous. But the rumor that she has a collection of whips and names them all, so she knows what punishment to give to tho
“And lastly, the case Miller vs. Jones will be under the responsibility of Miss Matthewson.” Andy announced to his colleagues, turning off the tablet screen that was under the meeting room table, “Any questions? Well, they're dismissed. Have a good weekend, everybody.” she wished with a smile, causing all the lawyers to stand up, starting to get out of their chairs and take their folders and cases with them, but one person approached her chair before Andy could turn around to talk to Harriet “Is there a problem, Miss Matthewson?” she asked, looking at the young woman with short blonde hair and blue eyes that looked almost scared. “It’s not that, Mrs. Ferrars, it’s just…” she swallowed hard “Are you sure it wouldn’t be better to put this case in the hands of a more experienced lawyer?” “You did well being my support in the last trial.” Andy explained “I think
“Ian!” Harriet stopped her scream from spreading throughout her parents' entire house when she buried her face into the pillow, the only thing she could do as she felt Ian's body moving against her, making the pleasure all that was in her mind. “Harriet…” he growled against her ear, still holding her shoulders in front with one arm and using the other to pinch her nipples, keeping her where he wanted as he continued slamming that thick, long cock into her mercilessly, making her pussy leaking everywhere onto the white sheets “My angel…” Ian called her nickname, with his accent appearing between the syllables in a way that always warmed her heart, even when she wasn't able to realize it “That tight pussy is even better than I imagined…” “Ian…” she whined, rubbing her cheek against the sheet as her entire body swayed from his fierce thrusts.
“You don’t have to go in if you don’t want to.” Nathan muttered, although his attention was still fully focused on the car window, where he could see the main door of McCoy's mansion, just a few meters away from where they were parked. "I can get the things you want."Lynn didn't even know why that behavior bothered her so much. It was always like that between them. When she was still married to Henry, Lynn remembered wishing that something could happen to break the awkward tension that always existed between them, that made them smile awkwardly and avoid contact as much as possible, just so that an accident would never happen that would force them to to admit how attracted they were to each other. And now, she was officially divorced and had said out loud, and in the middle of an entire nightclub, that she wanted to sleep with him... But in the end, as much as they had agreed to be
“Grandma, I don’t think we have to put up the crests of the spouses of everyone who married into the family.” Alec sighed, discreetly moving his shoulders as if to push his grandmother away from his computer screen.“You’re already twelve, kid. It’s time to get to know the roots that form your family, even if it’s through school work.” Adele grumbled, again trying to reach her notebook, even though she probably had no idea how she could insert an image into the document.“I'm eleven years old, Grandma…” Alec snorted “Besides, this job doesn't need anything too special… This family tree thing doesn't even matter anyway…” he muttered and, even from where they were, sitting with Andy on a sofa a little away from the table where Alec was writing his work in the Vamcap libra
“Are you sure it wouldn’t be better to wear a suit?” Gabriel asked, looking at his sweater “I loved your gift, but I don't want your brother to think I'm being too casual…” “Gabriel, it’s a family-only Christmas dinner.” Andy laughed, hugging his arm even more tightly, while guiding Luca by the collar with his other hand and pulling them both into the Vamcap mansion, still seeming extremely familiar with that place even though it hadn't been her home for four months to be casual "And don't worry about Aaron's ugly face. He growls but doesn't bite. Only I can do this with you.” She released Luca, who ran free through the house in the direction where the food was coming from, and discreetly squeezed his ass, causing Gabriel to stop on the way just so he could hold her ass too and kiss her, moving his tongue in her mouth like his dick was doing in her pussy, just a few moments earlier, in the car.
“And then, as you can imagine, the doctor said everything was fine with me. I just need to ice the bruises and take some painkillers every now and then. Nothing that surprises me, since it's literally the fifth doctor to tell me this, but my family and Ian keep insisting... Mom, I'm talking to Andy! Will you stop doing that?!” Harriet snorted on the other end of the line, making Andy laugh softly. “You have to take care of that swelling in your ankle! You don’t want to be limping in your wedding day, do you?” Ms. Bloom complained and the cell phone started to sound strange and squeaky, as if it was being passed quickly from hand to hand. “How many times do I have to repeat it, mom? Ian and I being together now doesn’t mean we’re getting married tomorrow, no matter how much you and him insist on it!” Harriet complained, “Sorry, Andy, the people in this house are all crazy about marrying people off without their consent. Even when their own daughter was kidnapped less than a week ago.”
The sound of the shot hurt her ears, but even so, Andy forced herself to keep her eyes open, watching Mark's shoulder explode with blood, throwing him backwards, as the bullet she had been waiting for finally was fired.“Harriet!” Andy shouted, running towards where Mark had fallen, dropping the gun in one direction and Harriet in the other. “Run!”With her hands tied, her best friend rolled over on the floor, anxiously trying to get up even with her legs clearly wobbly, while Mark grunted in pain and anger on the floor, holding his injured shoulder as he screamed and tried to reach the gun that had slid away.“You fucking bitch! You’re all going to die now!”While he finally managed to reach Harriet and managed to help her try t
"Breathe deeply." Gabriel told her, when he finally parked the car in front of the abandoned gas station in the middle of the dark night, with only a streetlight in the distance illuminating the entire highway very poorly “It's going to be okay, I promise.”“Let's get out of the car slowly and without making any sudden movements…” Andy advised, reaching for his hand one last time, trying in vain to control her racing heart “And, please… Promise me that you won't put yourself in danger. No matter what he says, make sure you don’t get hurt, will you?” she begged, making him smile that smile she loved so much.“The same goes for you, my love.” he reminded, before, clearly unwillingly, taking his hand from hers “Now, let's go.”“Slowly
