"Adrian, meet my daughter, Lyra. Lyra, my good friend, Adrian." I stared at the lady in a yellow sunflower dress, her hair up in two buns and her makeup cute and bright, very different from the lady who had gone down on my dick yesterday and sounded so sassy, I thought she produced fire in her body. Yet she was the same person. "Hi, I'm Lyra." "Oh, hi, I'm Adrian." **** When Lyra is sent to Italy to stay with her dad's best friend, Adrian, after his business goes under in New York, the first thing that comes to mind is genuine concern for her father, but right behind it is the wish to fulfill the fantasies she has had about Adrian since she first met him about a year ago. Adrian isn't having it easy too on his side as he continues to have a hard time keeping his best friend's daughter out of his mind, but will they really be able to deny the fire that continues to spark between them despite the age difference, taboo involved, and the world of the mafia that Lyra's father desperately wants to keep his daughter away from?
View MoreQuinn"Hey." I greeted the man I had come to meet that evening. Long hair, dark eyes, and an intimidating appearance.I sat down beside him at the empty bar counter."Hey," Adrian Mancini replied. "So you called..."I nodded, pouring myself a glass of whiskey from the bottle that was there as I turned my whole body to face him. "I need your help."With what?""Juan.""Jose's brother?"I nodded again, this time taking a sip of the drink.I had called him as a last resort, and he had answered.Even though I wouldn't say he and Jose are close friends considering the type of world we live in, they've had a couple of business transactions together that created a friendly atmosphere for trust.Besides, it seemed like he had some sort of relationship with Riley. After all, he had helped her when she ran away from us the other day."What about him?""Jose's sick."He sat up, showing his surprise for a slight minute."He is?""Yes, and Juan is strategizing. I don't have any proof or evidence
Quinn"You didn't come with the girl." I turned around sharply, holding my knife to Juan's throat before he could even move an inch from the door where we stood in the room, and he rubbed his throat slightly when I dropped the knife."Didn't see the need to." "What happened?" I asked as I walked past Matteo, Jose's most trusted bodyguard, to the bed where he was lying on, and I turned back to glance at Juan."Another attack. The doctor was around... Thankfully."More like unfortunately.I could see it on his face, even though he didn't say that out loud."And why are you here?"He shrugged, leaning against the closed door as I turned back to stare at the IV drip and monitor stationed beside him, and I sighed at the state he was in."You said that like I have a hidden agenda.""You sound like you have one."He chuckled, "I just came to see my beloved brother. Pity he didn't stay awake long enough to finish our conversation."I furrowed my eyebrows at that.The statement in itself was
BellaI barely made it back into my own room before Quinn's door was opening across from mine.Damn, did she see me?I hope not.I stretched my hands back behind me to the dress's zip in an attempt to seem like I was doing something."What are you doing?"I nearly jumped out of my skin when the voice asked so close to my ear. I hadn't even heard her coming in. She stepped back when I turned around immediately."What the fuck? What are you doing in my room?"She raised an eyebrow. "You left the door open. Besides, you seemed like you were struggling with the dress.""I'm not!""Fine." She looked at me warily for a second or two before making her way out of my room again.Fuck!I didn't even realize I had been holding my breath.I took multiple deep breaths the minute my body collapsed against the bed.But come to think of it, why was I so agitated?It's not like she could kill me for eavesdropping or had said anything important.She had only said two to three sentences with a tone that
Quinn"What was that?!" Gary asked as we made it to the ground where I detached my body from the rope I had tied to the table in the study. Riley let go of me.It had literally gone sideways.Everything.The guy, the kiss in the hallway, and now, a fucking alarm I didn't know about.I was pissed, to say the least."Come on!" I held Riley's hand and ran off in the direction of a gate I knew was hidden behind tall trees and flowers at the back of the house.It was kind of like an emergency exit for the general and his family, but I had used my disguise as a guard to unlock its safety in case of a moment like this."Guys!" I shouted above the gun sounds while trying to keep my head down."Come to the back gate I told you about. They found us out.""Shit!"Yeah, shit! It was annoying.I pulled on Riley's hand once we got to the gate that thankfully opened once I gave it a push, and I felt a slight sting on my arm right before making it outside with Riley.It wasn't so painful, I would say
Bella"My God, I'm so sorry." I immediately glanced around for a napkin or something.He brought one out of his pocket."No, it's fine. I actually forgot you speak English too."Okay, seems like I'm meant to know him.Fuck!"Sorry for startling you.""No, it's fine."Thankfully the stain reduced, but it was still evident to my eyes that I spilled my drink on this dude."So..."I put on a smile and accepted his kiss on both of my cheeks before stepping back again."Nice to see you again.""Yeah..."I nodded, trying desperately to keep my smile as bright as I could."Dance?"I glanced at the dancing floor he pointed to and accepted his offer after seeing him now politely with his hand stretched forward.Oh fuck me!"Do you know him?" I jumped yet again, this time more subtly, as Gary's voice filled my ear, and I glanced at my new partner to see if he noticed or heard that."Shut the fuck up, Gary. How is she meant to answer you?I know, right?For once, we were on the same page."So...
BellaGod, I am so nervous.The party was today, and Quinn telling me now that I'm actually to meet her at the party and not go together today was making it even worse."So that's that, okay?""What?" I glanced up at her confused, the last few sentences she heard completely in the air because I didn't hear any of it."I'm asking if you remember the plan.""Yes, yes, I do.""Great." She picked up a bag of tools and devices she had packed together before heading to the door, and as if on cue, a car pulled up in front of the door outside."Baby girl!" I stood up to glance outside when I heard the voice.Oh, it's that guy.The guy from the borderline who had come with another police officer or commissioner or something.Gary.He was wearing a simple shirt and pants now."Don't call me that."I watched as the guy gave her a hug or tried to until she jabbed him in the ribs."Fuck! Really?"She strapped the large bag over her shoulders and turned back to face me before looking at him."Don'
Bella"Why are you closing your eyes?"I popped them open when her voice asked that question."N-nothing. The water was getting into my eyes."I pushed her back and stood under the water properly to wash the bleach off.I could feel her eyes on me.Fuck.I was wet and hot and bothered, and her staring at me like this was not going to make it any better.We headed back to the mirror, both drenched when I finished with the wash.Now it was time for the dye.Thankfully, I was wearing a sports bra underneath my shirt, so she wouldn't know how hard my nipples were; besides, it seemed like she was nonchalant enough.Like she hadn't felt that.That tension.I washed and blow-dried my hair after the dye had sat a while in my hair, then we were done.Or so I thought until..."We're going to give you a little haircut too."To say the least, at the end of everything, about two hours later, I stared at a different face in the mirror.Short hair, wolf edges, and bangs.It was crazy how talented sh
BellaThe next few days were uneventful.Just me, lying around and watching some TV while my captor paced around and did some workouts. She had this gym/workout room in the basement and never had the nightmare episode again.I wonder what could have made me have such an intense nightmare the other night.By day six of staying after my running away episode, I could say my leg was feeling better.It was still painful if I put too much pressure on the injured leg, but not enough for me to yelp or scream.It was definitely getting better."Let me see."I jumped, startled, when my captor suddenly appeared in front of me while I was testing out the level of pain my leg could accept the next afternoon.It was even better than yesterday and less painful now.I flinched when her hands wrapped around it."What? Is it still painful?""No." I averted my gaze.Just... Her hand felt cold against my—I would say warm—leg.I tried to remain still and not have any other reaction as she pressed on parti
QuinnI took out my phone to call Jose once I finished washing the dishes."Quinn." He coughed repeatedly and sighed when the episode ended."Are you okay?""Just managing as much as I can."Which isn't a lot.It's crazy how much the sickness had taken its toll on him."And Riley?""She's okay. She hasn't run away in the past few hours, so we can be grateful for that, but I still don't think the operation is a good idea. She seems like she isn't ready for this world at all.""No one is ever ready.""But don't you think you should tell her everything first?"I just felt like she deserves to know, even though I don't normally deal with stuff like this, but there was also the possibility of her crashing out on Jose, which I didn't want.To say the least, I just don't have a good feeling about this, and it was making me anxious."After the operation, I'll tell her.""You're sure."He gave a hum, which we both knew wasn't certain, and cut the call after a few moments.It is dynamic, the re
LyraMy view on stripping, being a stripper, or letting men watch you undress for a wad of money?Here it is.Most ladies view it as a means to an end or a way to get rich quickly, but I, I view it as a type of art. A way to draw men in and tease them just enough to wrap them around your little finger but never give them what they want, which is sex. I have been doing it for a year now, and I can tell you that it's the best form of empowerment a woman could have, apart from education or some other form of moral avenue that society deems proper, of course.I loved seeing them want me, need me, but not have me, and it was the main reason I had kept at it even after my first experience, which had been purely curiosity-driven, by the way.I had wanted to know what it would feel like and, as I said, empowering.In a simpler way, it just means I love the attention and I don't think I'll be getting out of it anytime soon."Caroline, how are you doing today?" I put on a bright smile as the...
