Lyra "Such a good girl now, aren't you? Spread those legs for me." My legs spread open as the guy from earlier that night brought his mouth closer to my p*ssy, and I bucked on the bed the minute his tongue flicked against my cl"t." "Stay still" He went ahead to continue with his teasing, flicking his tongue against my cl*t as he rubbed circles on my thigh, and I pulled against the restraints he had used to tie my hands to the headboard. My cloth, though he had tightened those knots really well. I whimpered the minute he raised his head from my cl*t. Damn, I was never like this. "I said stay still." He went ahead to slap his palm against my p*ssy, something I was never expecting, and I gasped loudly from the pain and pleasure. "Oh my God!" "My very own good girl. Mine to wreck and destroy." He trailed his fingers up my body until they curled around my neck, and I gasped when I felt another touch on my body. It was my shoulder this time, and that didn't feel li
AdrianI was already up by the time Kael called me, and he sounded... I don't know, agitated "Don, have you checked the news?"Right, I hadn't told him yet."Yes, Alfredo is on it.""His daughter is asking questions, though."Ugh!I ran a hand across my hair and sighed."I was expecting that.""Should I...""Let her come. It's better than her looking for answers elsewhere. We'll have to risk calling him again."I cut the call and stood up from the bed, my body already accustomed to the little hours of sleep it usually gets on a daily basis, and I headed for the basement gym, where I put on boxing gloves.I needed to let off some steam before I saw her.I was heading up the stairs to the living room when they came in, and the first thing I noticed, apart from the jeans gown that hugged her in all the right places while revealing a bit of her shoulder, was the way her mouth fell open at something.Me.My shirtless torso.I immediately turned to the stairs, heading for my room, and glan
AdrianThe restaurant was a popular one; its services known to cater only to the rich and influential people within the country, and I stepped out of the car when we got to its front.Not to forget, it was owned by the Mancini family also."Park the car and meet me inside."I said to Kael and stepped into the restaurant, where the manager rushed forward to meet me."Good morning, sir.""Is he here?""Yes sir""Make sure no one interrupts us, and make sure to deposit today's earnings into our account with the money that will be dropped off today."He understood immediately what I was talking about and stepped away once I got to the hallway that led to the private room I was to meet my guest in, and I acknowledged Kael when he appeared beside me."Mr. Mancini," I stretched my arms to shake my guest's hands when he outstretched his hands, and I took in his secretary, who stood beside him also."Senator Carlo""Thank you for agreeing to see me today.""Of course. I'm always looking for wa
LyraI went through the clothes I had bought earlier today, trying my best not to dwell on the fact that I had seen Adrian shirtless again, but just the thought of it got me dripping.The way his back had rippled with every movement from him and the way his skin had looked in the light with tattoos littered across his skin.It had been dark the night we slept together, so I hadn't been able to see all of his tattoos properly, but now that I knew just where a lot of it was, I couldn't get it off my mind.I jumped, surprised when I heard my phone ring on the bed, and I picked it up to see that it was Bethany.Right, I had cut the call on her after seeing the news and hadn't even remembered to call her back."Babe," she said the minute I picked up the call and I sat on the bed."Babe""Are you alright?"I nodded even though I wasn't sure of that. "I don't know..."My father had told me to trust him and ignore the articles and claims of the FBI, but was that possible when he was the one o
AdrianThe house was quiet except for the grunts and groans I made while punching the sandbag in front of me, and I took a deep breath after a while before continuing.I had woken up on the wrong side of the bed after sleeping quite late last night, and now I was working out in my gym around 4 am in the morning."Sir, we have a problem.""What?"I turned to Kael, who walked into the gym at that moment, and he handed me a tab that he had with him all the time."Mr. Mancini went into the house where Miss Lancaster is staying around thirty minutes ago. Our man saw him, so also the CCTV camera around the house.""What?"I played the video footage of my brother walking into the house as he has said, and he looked quite bloody and disgruntled."Get me on the phone with him now. And Lyra?"They could have met already. Gotten surprised by the encounter since either of them didn't know of each other yet and there was the worst-case scenario of him pulling a gun on her or worse still, killing h
Lyra"Ugh, are you guys going to wake up or... Oh, you're already awake," the bartender who I recognized from last night said as she walked into the room, and I winced from how intense my hangover was."Fuck!""I know right, you had a lot to drink last night." She walked towards the other side of the bed where the guy was and slapped him across the thigh. "Get the fuck up, Greg. I have to be in school in an hour.""Ugh!" The guy groaned, sitting up on the bed, and she sighed."Gosh, you both are a sore sight."She walked out of the bedroom again, throwing over her shoulders. "You both have overstayed your welcome, so..."I was pretty confused and disoriented.Who was the lady?Where was I?And who was the gay-looking guy?Sorry for the stereotype, but you can't tell me he was straight with all the nail polish he had on his fingers, black by the way, and the amount of rings he had on.His hair was dyed, his outfit bright, and his eyes were glassy when they turned on me."And you are?"
LyraI took off the dress the minute I got home, going into the bathroom where I took off my underwear and makeup too, and I stood under the shower for twenty minutes, just fuming.He was an asshole.A pure motherfucker.How could he have dumped another person's drink on me? Emphasis on the "another person's" and smirk at that too.I didn't know what to do with my anger, and after another ten minutes in the bathroom just calming myself down, I came out into the bedroom, where I put on a baggy t-shirt I bought.I wore nothing underneath it except for a pant and thin tube I fished out from my purchase, and I went down into the kitchen like that to search for what to eat.The chef had come by already, and I settled for the bacon, bread, and tea that was available—even though it was already noon—before sitting by the counter to scroll through my phone.My dad's company case was still very much ongoing, and my dad was still nowhere to be seen.That part baffled me a lot. The fact that he
LyraI stepped into the club after a few minutes; the place very lively with music and dance, and I sighted the bartender, Bella, first before her friend, Greg, by the counter."Oh my God, girl, you look stunning!" Greg said once I got close to them, and he widened his eyes for emphasis.Yup, he was so gay."Thank you."Bella, on the other hand, who wasn't really attending to any customers right then, was obviously having a hard time remembering my name, and I offered it to her again, "Lyra.""Yeah Lyra. You're back."I nodded. "Yup, since my mission didn't come to fulfillment last night, so I came up with a better solution to not get drunk tonight."She nodded. "Good idea, actually.""Great because I was just telling Bella of an invitation I got to one of the most prestigious VIP clubs in town, but she is unwilling to go.""I have an assignment to do, Greg, and I don't have interest in male-infected clubs.""You work in one."I ordered a glass of whiskey and drank it slowly as they b
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
Bella"Here is the plan...""Alessio is as much a party-thrower as he is a general. Father to two children, a beautiful wife..." She pointed to the woman's picture under the guy's picture, "Yet he loves to fuck around.""He has various houses across the states, thanks to his connections and corruption, I'll say, but this..." She sorted out the document to bring on too the blueprint I had mentioned earlier."...is where he would be holding the next party. His birthday party."This was still ridiculous to me, but as long as it's just hacking... right? I could do that remotely but something was telling me that that is not going to be the case.Ugh!"This is the ballroom where the party will be held." She pointed to a section on the paper, "Then this is the passageway that leads to the main living room.""Here, we have his bedroom and study, and that is where our prize is. The study."I glanced at the many rooms and floors sitting in between the main living room and study.This wasn't al
Bella"Uhm... A party is the mission?" I made an incredulous face that portrayed just exactly what I thought about that."Yes. A party.""What am I meant to do there? Hack into the DJ's playlist.""And that's the thing about having a short-circuit brain. You just can't seem to think outside the box.""Haaa..." I gasped, flabbergasted. "Did you just call me short-circuit?""No. Your brain."She dipped her hand into the water to test the temperature and turned back to me."Your leg.""Huh?"I yelped and winced when she held my badly injured leg.It felt shattered, which it should, considering how hard that bitch had stepped on it."Fuck!""This is so going to set us back.""Um... You already said that like a million times, and it isn't even my fault.""Oh, you think so? You're the one who decided it was a good idea to run away, yet again!"She laid so much emphasis on that "yet again.""Ugh, whatever!"She removed the shoes on my leg quite aggressively until I yelped again; then she pla
Quinn I felt the relief in her composure even before she showed it. She laid her head back on the ground and sighed. Uh-oh. She couldn't be more wrong. I felt angry and betrayed. Who would have thought she would run away after being so complacent and cooperative? I had actually thought we were on the same page, but I guess not. So... I nodded to Aria. She needed to be taught a lesson. "Okay. We have the go-ahead and can start the party." "Wait, what? Quinn!" Her eyes widened in panic as two guys pulled her up, and I cocked my eyebrows. "What? You're the one who chose to do this the hard way." "Quinn!" She had no time to protest before her mouth was gagged with some ropes tied around her feet and leg, and I stood to the side with my arms folded while Aria and her men strapped her to a chair. "Mmm! Mmm!" She protested through the tape even though it sounded muffled. "And... here we go." I watched as the two men brought her chair to a basin of water t
BellaI stood in front of the house hours later once I got down from the cab.Ring ring.I waited patiently by the gate while the bell announced my presence to the owners.It wasn't long before a hand was pulling me into the compound and holding me against the wall."Who are you?"I glanced up at the guy when he pointed a light at my face and grunted out, "Bella. Tell Adrian that it's Bella.""Bella?"Both I and the guy turned when a voice repeated my name behind him.As it was dark, I couldn't really see the person's face until he moved closer to me.It was Adrian, and he looked pissed."Did you break out of prison?"The first guy took it as his cue to leave and disappeared into the shadows."It's a long story.""Long story?"I winced and groaned when my back hit the wall again suddenly with his face in my space, "You steal from a dangerous gang, escape from prison, and call it a long story? You literally just brought trouble to my house and family."Right."I know that, and I'm sorr
