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
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"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
Quinn"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
BellaI felt my body shudder as her finger trailed its way up my thigh, her other hand framing my head against the bed I was sprawled on."You want me, don't you?"I glanced up at the very smug face of Quinn and scowled, "You sure it's not the other way around? You're the one who is on top of me right now.""And you're the one who's not fighting it."She leaned forward to capture my lips with hers before kneading my clit through my panties.I moaned and arched my back against her."See..."I could care less about the tease in her tone now; I just wanted her to continue whatever she was doing down there.The..."Arghhh..." I heard the moan leave my mouth as she slid her fingers past my panties."Mm..."She slipped the tip of her finger into me as she trailed a path of kisses down my neck to my ear, and the kiss she placed right behind my love sent me spiraling."Fuck!"I opened my eyes once again only to see that there was in fact no annoying but sexy captor on top of me.Just a ceilin
Bella"No, no, no, no," Lyra immediately said as I started to glance around for any weapon I could use. "It's Greg.""Greg?""Yes."We moved to the door together, where the person outside rang the bell again, and it did indeed turn out to be Greg when we opened the door."Bella." He pulled me in for a hug, squeezing me tight, and his boyfriend, Kael, stood awkwardly behind him."Kael?" I heard Lyra say while I squeezed Greg just as tight too.It's crazy how long we've spent together considering the following years after we met. We've always found the time to see each other.And there was my arrest and everything; I'm sure he has a lot of questions."You know you have a lot of explaining to do?"I nodded when he pulled back."I'm sorry about how everything went.""Yeah..."He led me into the living room where Lyra was already seated with Kael. They were bantering over something."You...""What? Bitch? Adrian is going to kill you."She hurried away before he could catch her."Wait, thou
QuinnThe sun was already up by the time I made it back to the base, my body exhausted and my arm bleeding, and I collapsed on the couch in the empty room after I had locked the door.Juan.I couldn't believe he had set me up.Like yes, I should have expected it knowing how sly and cunning he was, but I hadn't expected that Leonardo would go with it either.Ugh!The motherfucker.I was so fucking pissed.More at myself for even going there with the little belief that the transaction could be genuine.At this point, Jose wasn't safe in that house either.I tore off a piece of my shirt to tie around my arm to stop the bleeding, then pulled up my hair into a messy bun in an attempt to calm myself down.First off, I should go back to the house.For all I know, he could have killed Jose off, but I feel like what was keeping him back from doing that was Jose's connection to other gangs and organizations, so he was probably going to get those people over to his side first.Adrian excluded, t
QuinnTwo days laterI came down from the black sedan, dressed in a suit shirt and pants because I prefer that to dresses anyway, and I went to the other side of the car to assist Jose as he got out.This was the last visit before the meeting."Adrian..." Jose said as he came out to greet us."I heard you were fighting for your life. How are you feeling now?""Better."I told him about my conversation with Adrian, and that's why we were here last."So... To what do I owe this visit?" He asked as he picked out a bottle of whiskey from his cabinet."Are you able to drink or...""I'd rather not." He nodded as he poured both himself and me a drink.I sat beside Jose by the minibar as he slipped the drink to me."Thanks.""Sure. So..."Jose sighed and stared directly into Adrian's eyes. "I don't have much time."The silence was loud until he continued."I'm likely to die in a few weeks or days. These things are unpredictable.""Hmm...""And as much as we leaders love to leave the family b
BellaOne month later,The town was just as quiet yet noisy as I remembered it. Most tourists were bustling around as they got some things, and I picked out a few things myself for dinner since we didn't have the luxury of ordering pizza here."Here." The elderly man said as he handed me the ingredients for soup I had bought, and I paid him in cash, thanking him as I left.Seriously, where was this girl, Quinn?I glanced around, trying to find my companion, who was just as dazed as a child by the things he found here.Okay, yes, there was a lot of antique and beautiful stuff, but getting lost among the crowd because of that was not...I gasped and smiled when I suddenly felt her arms wrapped around me from behind."Seriously?"She smiled, kissing away the scowl I had only just managed to plaster on my face."See what I found." She raised up a type of camera that looked really ancient."Wow..." That really dripped with a lot of sarcasm, or at least that was what I planned, but I think
Quinn "Oh fuck!" I sighed in relief when I finally saw that she was okay.Phew!You should have seen the way my heart skipped when I got the news that she had been kidnapped from the condo.Like, how the fuck did that happen?Who was even the...I turned to the other guy in the room, raising my own gun to aim when I finally saw who it was. "Matteo?"He tucked the gun he had been holding into his pocket and faced me."Isn't it odd that no one is here?" And there were no dead bodies outside or within.It was almost as if no one else was here except us, and that was weird. If this had been a kidnap mission like he had said, after all, he was the one who had sent me the video of him being kidnapped, then called me to tell me he found her.I raised my eyebrows, immediately becoming suspicious, and raised my gun again.He rolled his eyes, knowing exactly my thought process."You still don't get it, do you?""What?""This is what might happen if you guys keep up with what you've been doing.
BellaThings kept going great after that.Days after that.The sex.The glances.This thrilling feeling that came with just being around her.I threw my head back and moaned loudly when her tongue slipped into my pussy, slopping quite loudly."Ahh... Quinn..." It felt so good."Hmm-mm. Feels good, huh?"I nodded, unable to get the words out thanks to her adding another finger to the finger that was already driving me crazy by my clit, and she raised her head up after another mind-blowing orgasm on that same kitchen counter.I smiled and opened my mouth wide to accept her kiss when she raised her head up a moment later.God.So obscene and hot, I loved it.The twirl of her tongue, the salty but sweet taste, she bit on my bottom lip for a second when we finally pulled apart minutes later."God, Matteo is going to kill me, but..."Right, her meeting with that Moretti lady. She had told me about it a few days ago when we decided to come to this condo for privacy.Yes, it was the condo we
QuinnWe all got into the car, with Matteo taking the wheel again after we finished with Hastings, and we maintained the silence we had kept on our way here—except for the time I caught Riley staring, or maybe it was the other way round as I had been staring too—till we got home.Both I and Riley got out when he got to the house. Matteo remained inside to drive the car to the garage, and I waited for him to drive away before I caught Riley's hand in mine.She glanced at me for the first time since we left the lawyer's office. Seems like the visit to the lawyer hit her hard all over again.She blinked a number of times. "What?""Come with me.""Huh?"I didn't give her a chance to understand what I was about to do before I was dragging her all the way with me to the back of the house, where I let go of her hand to search through a bunch of thick bushes that had some flowers in them.I turned back for a moment to see her giving me this ridiculous look. At least she wasn't looking so sad
BellaThe drive to the office was dead-ass silent. Like I'm talking pin-drop, cemetery-type silence as we all sat huddled in the car, and I smiled at Matteo for the third time when we made eye contact through the car mirror just because I was not willing to get caught fixating on the person beside me.He smiled back again, definitely thinking I'm weird or at least acting weird.I sighed deeply.After the little confession session we had out in the alley the other day, what am I saying, yesterday, I would have expected things to be more expressive between us.You know... those things people in relationships do, but for some reason, we have just been avoiding each other for the most part of today; I couldn't understand why.Okay, I know I'm part of the problem since I'm not making any moves, but at least she should do something, right?Ugh!I fidgeted unconsciously, pissed at all this tension and weirdness.I glanced at Quinn for the hundredth time even though I've kind of convinced mys
Bella"Huh?"I kept my hands around her shoulder, unable to move my legs anyway because of how wobbly they were, and I stared up into her eyes once she said that.She stared at me too, quite troubled."I think I might like you too."Okay, not love, but at least we were past the fuck buddy stuff.She pulled away and ran her hand through her hair after a moment of just staring at each other.Like, what do we do now? Have some more sex. Kiss.She nodded towards the club and back at me, "Are you going to... We should go home or..."Right, I had even forgotten I was drunk before and kissing another lady because the thought of being just a fuck buddy to her had irritated me.Now that she had said she liked me, I felt more sober than drunk.I moved away from the wall and stumbled a bit right before gaining my balance."Yeah."I wondered where home was now.The family house?Maybe. After all, it was my father's house but more Quinn's than mine now. I was definitely going to feel out of place.
Quinn Drunk, annoyed, tipsy; maybe still drinking, was what I had been expecting when I stepped into the club; the GPS had indicated the car was parked in a few minutes later. But instead of that, the person I had come to look for was by the bar, kissing a lady that basically had her whole body on her now. I felt my insides twist with this feeling I couldn't quite place. Jealousy. I wouldn't know, but just the sight of what they were doing and the fact that they kept kissing had me storming over to them without warning and basically throwing the other lady across the room before I could stop myself. Those familiar amber eyes stared up at me in surprise, "Quinn." I didn't wait for her to get another word out before I was dragging her out of the club and into an alley that enveloped us in complete darkness if not for the flickering streetlight beside it. She tore her hand away from me and glared, stumbling a bit when I turned to face her. Oh, she was drunk but still...
Quinn Matteo didn't seem to buy the it's just sex theory, though, and I sighed, turning away from him."Is that advisable though?"I shrugged, "Why not? It's not like I forced her to have sex with me.""But she's..."Yes, Jose's daughter. I knew and shouldn't have started any of... I wasn't even sure what we had now, especially if she really felt the way she had said earlier."I think I love you."I pushed the words to the back of my mind, facing Matteo, who sighed in resignation again."Just be careful. Getting involved with her could make things dangerous, and you shouldn't have any distractions, especially in the early stages of this..."Taking over, he meant.It was already my fourth month as the leader of this organization, and things were going well, at least on the surface.I nodded and sat behind my desk, shoving thoughts of how naked a certain person had been on that desk a minute ago.He sat opposite me.I kind of knew what he might want to bring up."Hayden..."Yup, knew i
Bella Fuck!I grinded my hips against the table, chasing after the high that had come over me as I came super hard on Quinn's tongue a minute earlier, and she raised her head to my lips to kiss me after that, sucking my tongue and spreading my salty taste all over our mouths.It was obscene but also hot."Hmm..." I purred, loving it."Get on your knees, princess. Time to put that mouth to use." And even though I had been willing to do that, hearing her say that while she leaned back against the chair in the study had me hot and bothered on a whole new level.Fuck, and this was not what I had been planning when I left Lyra's house.Like yes, I had wished and fantasized about having sex with her over the past three months that I was supposed to use to figure out my life, but I had also been planning to talk about whatever the hell I was feeling.Now I wasn't even sure what was going on in my mind anymore, but that wasn't going to stop me from doing what she ordered, though, so I got on
