Lyra"I... I don't know."My heart was in my throat at this point, and I tried not to let my panic show through my voice.I was shaking profusely, though."Get up.""Huh!"I watched as the guy stepped away from me but kept the gun trained on my head."I said up! Keep your hands where I can see them.""Oh, okay."I stood up from the bed, trying to wrap the duvet around myself as I was naked.Fuck me for not putting anything on after peeing, but I hadn't been expecting a robber to come into the house at this hour, though."I don't have a lot on me right now, but I can transfer some money to you if you want. You don't have to...""Shut the fuck up and keep your hands where I can see them."He dragged me forward with his arm around my throat and pressed the gun to my head before pushing me forward. "Walk."I did, and groaned when the duvet suddenly fell to the floor, leaving me naked again.Fuck.He continued forward, though, stopping at intervals to check through the rooms as we went, an
AdrianThe cat was out of the bag, finally, or should I say, unfortunately.I ran a hand through my hair and took out my phone to call Alfredo, who picked it up immediately."Alfredo.""I need you to come to Rome now.""Rome, why?""Somebody was sent to assassinate me.""What?! Are you okay?"I nodded even though he couldn't see me, "Yes, just leave everything and come here."I cut the call and squatted in front of the dead guy.He could have been sent by anyone: the Bellini's, the Rossi's, Steve Carlos, who thinks I had his father killed, or even someone within the family.I stared at the guy's face and pursed my lips when I found no answers on it, not like I was expecting to, but maybe I could find a mark, a tattoo, or something that would indicate where he was coming from.I went through his pockets and pulled out a phone.There were a few tattoos here and there on his arm and leg, and there was the gold chain around his neck.A gift? I wondered.I pulled up his shirt to see anothe
LyraI woke up to a pounding headache and the worried face of my close friend the next morning, and I sat up on her bed with a groan."Oh my God!"My head was going through a revolution at this point."Are you finally ready to tell me what actually happened yesterday?"I rolled my eyes, pushing the hair out of my face as I tried to get up. "Or you can let me wash my face and have a cup of coffee before relieving that memory.""Which memory?"I could still see the brain of the dead guy from last night and his open eyes, and for some reason, that reminded me of the falling eyes from my nightmares.Wait?It hit me right in that moment.He couldn't...Wait, there's no way.There's no way he had been part of that happening.It looked gory and horrific, at least how I remember it in the nightmares, but maybe it isn't even like that.I shook my head, "No...""What is it now? Did you find out that I'm in the Mafia too?""Uhn?" I turned to Bella, confused."That is what you kept blabbing on ab
LyraI stared at Adrian about an hour later, dumbfounded and flabbergasted. "The company has been made mainly for money laundering."He nodded, staring in a way that made me nervous and hot, and I shook it off.We were talking about something important right now."But why? How?""I used my connections in the Mafia world to bring some clients to the firm, and then we used that profit to conceal our own profit. I'm sure you understand how it works.Of course I do.This was crazy."So that's why he went into hiding? Because the FBI was really onto him?""Mostly, but also because he got attacked in his house.""What?"I felt my heart skip at that information."Attacked?! When was he attacked?""Two days before you came to Italy"More like I got kidnapped to Italy."He was attacked by a Mafia group and escaped, but he thought you might be in danger, so he sent you to me.""He what?"Does that make sense?He sent me to a Mafia leader in the case that I got attacked by another Mafia group."
AdrianGod, I am losing my mind.Crazy thoughts, most of them about Lyra, were killing me, and they shouldn't; I should be focused on the fact that Kael had likely betrayed me, but I just couldn't get her expression out of my mind.The way she had looked when I said she was nothing more than a fling.A great fuck.I sighed.I wasn't so sure about that anymore."Adrian."It was just..."Adrian!!" I jumped out of my reverie as Alfredo's voice finally got to me, and he glanced at me."What is wrong?""Nothing.""Is it Kael?""Yeah..." Partially "You couldn't have known that he was a traitor."Yes, I could have, should have even, but "he told me that the Bellinis are planning something.""Something. What?""A coup. Maybe with Kael.""A coup, and you think he'll tell you that if he was really part of them?"Exactly what I was thinking."Or it could be a ploy."I cocked my eyebrows, "maybe.""So what are you going to do?"I stared at the private jet he stopped beside in the airfield a minu
Lyra The sun shining through the blinds was what woke me up the next morning, and I cursed immediately as an intense headache went through my whole head. Fuck! I sat up on the bed. What happened? I went to the strip show. Danced to some foreign songs I couldn't recognize. Then there was the guy that met me in the kitchen. Alfredo. He took me to a room where... I held my head as memories of what I had done last night flooded my head. Oh God, no. I hadn't done that. Ugh! I tried to erase the memory of me practically begging Adrian to have sex with me from my head. How did that happen? Was I that desperate? My God. I stood up from the bed and tried to steady myself before I went out into the hallways. I needed some water or coffee, then... Oh my God, Greg. Where was he? He was the one who had accompanied me to the strip club because Bella had her shift that day, but I couldn't remember coming back home with him. Adrian or Alfredo must have done that. Then where was
LyraThe club was quite similar to other clubs I've been to.Loud music coming from the insides, bouncers at the front door, and a long line that wasn't so long outside.I wasn't sure why I had expected it to be different.I moved forward with a dark shadow behind me."Are you ready?" The shadow asked, and I nodded.I was.It was just to get in there, dance on the stage, and attract his attention, then I'm done."You sure?"I turned to Alfredo just as the person in front of me finished with the bouncers."Yes."I smiled tightly at me and turned to the bouncer, "Hi."I put on a seductive smile and handed him my ID."How is it going today?"No answer."Okay."I turned again to see if Alfredo was still behind me, but it was only a lady in a black dress and a gum that was making quite a pop in her mouth.I turned away and took a deep breath before walking in."Thank you."It was showtime.I removed the jacket I was wearing over the short red dress underneath with its halter neckline and m
Adrian"Get out." I said to Alfredo before either of them could say anything."What?""Get out of the car."I felt my fists clench in an attempt not to kill either of them."Oh yeah, sure." He scrambled out of the car and handed me the keys."Wait till I call you."I got behind the wheel and started the car, ignoring the stare that Lyra gave me."What are you doing?" No response."Adrian!!"No response.Instead, I zoomed off down the alleyway and drove onto the main road, my eyes laser-focused on the road.I didn't want to see her in that outfit.Think of what she had just done.It was infuriating.I came out of my reverie when her yell filled the car, and she glared at me, "Slow down! Are you trying to kill us?!"I still didn't answer as I stepped on the gas and zoomed past a traffic light before parking in the alleyway beside a casino.She got out and bent over the side, heaving profusely."The fuck! You asshole!" She hit my arm and glared when I got out of the car."Follow me.""W
KaelFuck, he looks so hot.Seductive.His hair was all over the place, his lips plump for absolutely no reason, and his eyes gleaming with mischief as he stared up at me."Why?"Uhm... Because he is drunk.I leaned my head back and groaned when he squeezed the head of my cock, almost making me nut in my shorts."You're drunk."I pulled away from him and groaned when his hands slipped out of my shorts.How I want to just fuck those lips till they're moist and dripping with cum."Ugh. Coward."He slipped his hands into his pants and pulled his cock out."What are you..."I stood mesmerized when he started to move his hand up and down his cock.It was just like that morning when he had been jerking off.Erotic, arousing, and...I rubbed the heel of my hand against my cock and tried to refrain myself."Still refusing to fuck me when I want you to."He pulled his pants off and removed his boxers next.I have to leave here."Didn't you say I have to ask for it?"His voice was mocking yet d
GregThe next two days were used to avoid the asshole.Working late, going to the institute for my project with Mike, and sleeping once I got home.I didn't spend more time than was necessary in the living room or kitchen and always made sure to stay confined in my room or workshop when I wasn't sleeping.God, I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do with the machine.Anyway, Mike and I presented our design for the classy and elegant dress for the summer project the next day, being a Saturday, and the professor inspected our work."Thin straps, open back, and a waist cut. Well, first I'll commend the choice of material. Silk. It's perfect for summer. Then we come to the designs. The ropes across the back, not too much. Shows off the back prettily. The strap. Great. The hem. Uneven. Okay. The waist cut. No."That had actually been a mistake that we ended up turning into a waist cut."Overall, I'll give you eighty percent. It's good, but you could have done better. Next."We sat
GregI backed against the wall immediately while using my blanket to cover myself.Fuck! No.Why did he have to come in at this moment? And didn't I lock the door?"Hey, come on now. Don't be shy." He said as he moved in closer to me, and I held the blanket tight against myself, feeling my cock rise again.Fuck, is something wrong with me?"W-what are you doing in my room? Y-you pervert.""Pervert?"He pulled the blanket away from me before I could comprehend what was happening when he got to my bedside, and I had no time to react before he had me pinned under him."Pervert. You're the one who was moaning my name while jerking off and has a hard dick even now."God, did I do that?"No. I..."I let out a faltering whimper as his hand flicked against my still sensitive cock between us, and he trailed his finger down its head to its base."I—I didn't do that.""Oh really?"I tried to glare up at him as he continued to tease the hell out of me, but I faltered again when his grip suddenly
Greg"Wow, if this is your audition for 'homeless but make it fashion,' you really nailed it." I scoffed at Kael's words and headed straight for my room, too exhausted to react to his snarky remarks or give a comeback."You look like you went through hell." He said, following me.Yes, I did. Blame it on a series of failed designs with my partner.Ugh!From Mike's coffee spilling on me to a series of things getting stuck on my hair and clothes, I knew I looked relatively worse with my disheveled hair."I seriously don't have time for your nonsense right now.""Nonsense?" He asked and leaned against my bedroom's door threshold, looking quite out of place with his build and half-naked body.I averted my gaze."Yeah, nonsense."He huffed, "I was just showing concern.""Which I don't need, but since we're on that topic, how about you tell me..."He folded immediately, his eyes showing it and his form moving away to the living room again. "I made dinner if you're interested."Hmm, just wh
GregI've never seen him like this.I know. I've only known him for about two to three weeks now with no context, but this individual huddling in the corner of my sitting room while shivering is very different from the individual that had told me to offer him my ass to relieve his sexual frustration.I still couldn't believe he had said that, but that was by the way.He was shivering.Like he had been in the rain for a long time, and even though the rain had been falling for quite some time now, he was inside, not outside. Yet his teeth were clattering together, and his arm tightening around himself.I gathered my scared ass from the floor and tried to stand to go get him a blanket or something to relieve his shivering, but his hand wrapped around mine."Don't go.""Huh?"What does he mean?"You're shivering."I still wasn't sure what was wrong with him.He had seemed to me like he was in pain when I first stepped out of my room to get a glass of water, bending over himself and coveri
KaelHis tongue going over those plump lips was what had sent me over the edge.The way he had been looking at me, staring at me as if he was a kid who just found a piece of candy, I just couldn't help but imagine what it would look like if he actually wrapped those lips around my cock like it was a piece of lollipop.Ball aching, right?I shivered and groaned, feeling my legs turn to jelly as my orgasm went through me, and I rubbed the head of my very sensitive cock lightly before I glanced up at him."Happy you enjoyed the show.""Huh?"It was as if a switch clicked then, his eyes widening and his legs carrying him out of the bathroom like it should have the minute he saw me jerking off, but it didn't, and now, I heard the bedroom door slam behind him after he scurried out.HmmI felt my lips turn upward into a smile.I think we can all agree that he's cute when he's flustered... and angry.I stepped out into the living room after I cleaned myself and showered like I had initially p
GregIt's okay.There's no need to act awkwardly around him.He's just my new boss, nothing else.Not my one night—Not my—"Hi."I almost spilled the cup of coffee I had in my hand on myself when a voice suddenly said behind me, and it turned out to be the same guy. My new boss.I immediately placed the mug on the counter and put on a professional smile. "Is there anything I can help you with, sir?""Come on, you don't have to be so uptight around me. After all..."Oh, you must be kidding me.I thinned my lips into a tight smile. "I would actually appreciate it if we kept our personal lives separate from work. It was just a one-night stand. Nothing else."The guy looked taken aback for a second, like he had just been swept off his feet, then smiled, "Oh, that. No, I was going to say we're colleagues after all. Of course, I don't mix pleasure with business either."I felt my cheeks redden.Fuck.This couldn't be more embarrassing."Okay then. I'll be on my way."I made my way past him
GregOf course I didn't say that."Uhm... I... I can't... He glanced behind me and nodded."You have someone over, don't you?"I shut the door some more and smiled.Jeez, did he see Kael?I hope not."Uhm..." I didn't give a response, but he smiled anyway. "It's fine. We'll just meet at school then. Every day by 7 pm, right?"I nodded.I had concluded that with the authorities before leaving school yesterday, and that was the only time available, not to talk of my internship, which will just drain me."See you then."He took a few steps forward, about to leave, then stopped."I made this. Enjoy."He handed the box he still had to me, and I saw it to be a bunch of cookies with donuts and a little cupcake.I pursed my lips. "You bake?""Yeah. Here and there. Not so much, but I just decided to bring some for our... But you're... You know what? Just enjoy it. I'll be on my way and email you my ideas, okay? Bye."He was out of my sight before I could stop him or thank him."Well, I guess
GregThe next stage was a mental breakdown.My brain, pondering how I was going to do my assignments and projects, pondering how I was going to get a new one or repair this one, and wondering what was even wrong with the machine.I wasn't exactly sure what was wrong with it.I sat in the middle of the space and tried not to let the tears out.Ugh!!The motherfucker.Why would he go into my workshop when I had clearly told him not to?Now he stood in a corner, watching me with a blank face."What?" I said when I finally made my way out of my workspace and into the kitchen to grab a drink."What are you planning to do?"I scoffed. Look at his audacity.I grabbed one of the few cans of beer I still had left and drank half of it in one gulp."I'm actually waiting for you to suggest something because if you don't come up with a solution before the end of today, you might as well leave my apartment. This was my life, and you destroyed it."He stepped out of the way when I grabbed the rest
