Anna“Ever used a gun before, Anna?”Duncan asked, his gaze fixed on me, pinning me down in place.Clearing my throat, I straightened, looking him straight in the eyes with the faintest hint of disgust, ignoring the way my body betrayed me.“Yes. When I was with Rob. He taught me how to use one.”“Have you ever shot someone?”Why was he asking so many questions? Did he find out something about my past?No, Chief Donovan had scrubbed every inch of my identity.The only thing left was my criminal records and my new plant identity. Nothing more.“Once.” I lied, remembering the many times I had to kill.Duncan nodded.“You'll carry a gun around for protection and other important missions.”“Missions like what?”“You'll see, but in the meantime, you still have one more trial to prove you are worthy of being here.”Duncan pushed off his desk and walked towards me, every step cold and deliberate. He reached over my skirt, and I inhaled sharply his dark chocolate cologne his proximity brought
Duncan As soon as I got off the phone with Lucas, the door to my office opened with a loud bang, and Sabrina stormed in, her olive face sullen.She was wearing a white tank top and blue jeans that had the word Daddy's favourite on it and a black jean.I groaned internally. I already knew what this was about.“Is there a problem, Sabrina?” I asked, bringing my glass of Coke to my lips and taking a sip…“You want to fuck her, don't you?”She scowled, storming towards me and only stopping in front of my desk, her face contorting into a snarl.I knew exactly who she was talking about, but I wasn't about to make it easy for her.“Who are we talking about?”I asked, my eyes levelled.“The little accountant bitch, who the fuck else?” She snapped, her tone dripping with frustration.“You might want to watch your tone, Sabrina; remember who you are talking to,” I said calmly.“No, this is ridiculous. You have a hum…” She suddenly stopped talking as I I rose abruptly from my chair and walked
AnnaMy heart pounded as I swung my fist at the man that had grabbed me.“It's me, Aviana, relax.”I heard a familiar voice, and before I knew it, the enclosed desk space I had been dragged into lit up, revealing the face of my handler, Sly.“What the hell? What did you do that for?” I glared.“Only way to talk to you without putting you in trouble.”He said, his breathing laboured, mirroring mine.“How is it going?” He asked with a severe expression on his face.“How do you think?” I glared, still trying to catch my breath.I felt like I had run a marathon of twenty thousand miles.“You look dishevelled.”“Yes, the fuckers tried to fucking kill me and sent me to my death. I would be dead now if I wasn't skilled in the art of…” I trailed off.“I'm sorry about that; it's part of the job,” he said with zero emotion on his face as always.Sometimes I wanted to shove my foot in his face. How he was able to get married to a beautiful woman like Velma still confused me. I wondered briefly i
Anna (Aviana)The cold metal of the pistol pressed against my head.I held my breath, my heart surprisingly steady as Duncan stared into my soul, waiting for an answer.“I don't like to wait , Anna.” He said, his voice l disturbingly calm.“I don't know what you want me to say; maybe ask Roberto about my past,” I shot back, meeting his gaze head-on without flinching. “I was an orphan who spent my teen years selling and pushing drugs. Picked up a few tricks from the trade.” I spat, clenching my fists, glaring at him. He was lucky I was under the law now. He'd be dead by now. Duncan smirked, amusement dancing in my eyes.“Interesting…”Without another word, he stoód, tucking his gun in his holste. Turning away, be strode to his desk, stopping a few feet from the window as he poured himself a drink..“Welcome to the family, Anna. You did good.” His tone was almost approving. “Go to your room and clean up. We have some work to attend to later this evening,”“That's it?” I managed to pull
AnnaMy smile faded at the sound of that.“Everyone's been talking about me?” I asked, and she nodded.Just as I had suspected. There were people watching me.“Well, yes. You are very beautiful, and we heard what happened. You yelled at the boss; that's never happened before. He's strict.”“Oh?”I blushed. For some reason I felt a little giddy inside that I was the talk of the mansion among the maids.“You are really so pretty,” she said in awe as she came to stand in front of me.”My lips thinned into a straight line as the air grew awkward. I knew I was pretty but there were definitely prettier women than me. Ones I had seen around the mansion too. And why was she staring at me like that?“Uh, thanks.” I said, clearing my throat.“I'm sorry for staring,”she shook her head as if just now realizing herself.“It's okay,” I smiled awkwardly. I was also trying to figure out what was in her mind anyway.“Would you like something to eat or drink? I'm making lunch,” she asked.“Whatever yo
Duncan “You wanted to speak with me?” Lucas asked as soon as he entered.“Yes. What have you found on Reed?”I asked, trying to pretend my mate's name did not elicit the most primal reaction out of my wolf.“Not much out of the ordinary. She seems legit, Dun.”“Has she said anything that suggests she isn't?” I asked.Lucas rolls his eyes.“No, I called Roberto too, like you asked. He says she's legit.”I let out a slow breath, stroking my chin.“Maybe I'm just a little paranoid.” I stroked my chin, but my instinct was never wrong.‘Maybe you should stop worrying and bed her instead.’Clark, my wolf growled.Ever since I met Anna, I couldn't stop thinking about her, about whst the nectar between her legs would taste. It was an intense craving that bothered on spell work and it was driving me absolutely mad.I had hoped she would fail her last mission so I could rid myself of this intense need but the bitch was stronger than I thought and more skilled which made me even more suspiciou
AnnaI froze, staring at Duncan. He looked angry, or at least I thought he did. It was hard to tell; he barely ever showed any expression except for disapproval and his occasional smirk.The tension in the room thickened, pressing down on my chest like a tangible weight. I felt like I had done something wrong.My cheeks burnt as I wondered how long he'd been watching me. Suddenly, the shorts I had felt comfortable in just a minute ago felt like a thong cutting across my ass.I felt exposed.I swallowed as I opened my mouth.“Did you want something?” I broke the silence.He took a step closer, then, as if reconsidering, stopped.“Where did you learn those moves?” He asked, curiosity evident in his otherwise impassive face.Gah, he was so hard to read. We couldn't he be more like Lucas or Sabrina?With them, I knew what they thought of me.I could tell he was trying not to stare at my boobs but they were very prominent and had been my selling point for years. Avoiding them was difficul
AnnaIt was around midnight when I woke up, feeling like I was being watched again.I glanced around my large room, holding my breath. I half expected to see a monster lurking somewhere around but thankfully nothing seemed to be amiss.I took a deep breath, calming my racing heart. I could have sworn I had felt something touch me. Maybe it was just a dream as always. It had to be that.A sigh of relief escaped me and I threw my thigh red covers off me and put on my fuzzy slippers.It was 1am and the house was finally quiet..I needed to make my move now, feel out the place before anyone woke up.I put on some clothes and tiptoed out of my room.It was dark and there was no sign of anyone awake.I waited, trying to listen but everyone seemed to be asleep. Gently, I tiptoed along the hallway, finding my way through the now dark mansion.There wasn't a single noise in the house and for that I was glad. It meant everyone had either gone home or was asleep.I held my breath, trying to be
Anna“So, this is your place? It's so cosy.” Lily said in awe as she stepped in.I rolled my eyes at her.“You can say it's ugly. I don't mind.” Lily chuckled. “Ugly? I would have killed to have a place like this six years ago.”“Really? What happened six years ago?” I pried as gently as I could.“I was homeless and beaten to an inch of my life,” she shrugged with her usual ditzy smile.“What happened?”“Well, I got mixed up with the wrong crowd, and that was when Duncan saved me. Without him, I'd be dead. He helped me get revenge on all of them that wronged me.”“I'm so sorry, Lily. What kind of crowd?” I asked, taking a seat on the couch.She plopped down on the couch and began to take out the clothes we'd gotten from the store.“Let's just say being in love was the worst thing that ever happened to me,” she sighed. There was a sadness in her eyes that I had never seen before, but just as quickly as it came, it disappeared again. Almost like it hasn't been there.“Anyway, bygones
DuncanTrust nobody except family, and even family should not be trusted always.Those were the words my father used to say when I was a kid. Little did he know he would be betrayed by a human who later jeopardised everything, yet here he was, craving one.Last night had done nothing but make my hunger for Anna even stronger, more desperate. One taste, and I had a feeling there was no way I could do without her.Those lips and her tits, the way they had fit so perfectly in my palm. I had to have her again—for real this time, raw and full-on penetration. I needed to satisfy this hunger. One more time and I'd discard her.My dick twitched at the image of her undone appearing in my mind. Goodness, she was gorgeous and sensual.I shook my head, trying to suppress it.I was at one of my bars downtown with Jonah, Levi, and Lucas. It was a Saturday, and Saturdays were usually the days we unwound, and yet I was still very much wound up. I ended up with Sabrina in my bed last night again. She
AnnaI woke up the next day after not being able to sleep a wink all night to the sound of knocking on my door.I groaned, pulling the covers up so that they covered my face.I didn't want to deal with anyone right now. Not after that embarrassing moment with Duncan last night.Embarrassing yet hot…I couldn't stop thinking about how somehow, he'd mastered my body like a DJ. We had not directly fucked, but I could still feel the soreness on my clit. He'd made me come just by dry humping.How was I supposed to face him today? I should have pushed him away when he tried to kiss me, but I couldn't have done that either.I was thankful it was Saturday. I could go to my apartment and get some rest because there was no way in hell I could face him after literally whoring myself to him. The knock came again, and I groaned in annoyance…I threw the covers off my body and stormed towards the door.“Lily, hey. What are you doing here?”I asked Lily, who had a big smile on her face. She was dr
Anna“Looking for something, Anna?”Duncan asked as he walked towards me with long strides and an unreasonable expression etched on his face.I swallowed, racking my brain for a reasonable lie.Shit;“I lost my way….” I said it with as much believable confidence as I could.“You lost your way?” He asked, his tone sceptical, his eyes burning with… I wasn't quite sure what I was looking at.“This place is a maze.” I added, hoping he bought my ridiculous excuse.Why was he here? I had been gone for only less than ten minutes for goodness sake!His eyes narrowed, and tension ensued between us. I waited with bated breath for a response. Anything from him…Suddenly he grabbed me by the neck and slammed me against the wall, knocking the breath out of me.“I just can't seem to figure you out, Anna,” he whispered, his voice dripping with curiosity as he tilted his head to the side.“Please…” I breathed, his hands slowly squeezing my throat.“I know there's something suspicious about you, but i
Anna.“I'm so sorry, I'll clean you up,” Lily said, taking out a paper towel from the sink.I sighed…“Sorry about her. “Lily said as she tried to dab the blood out.“It's okay, I've always known she was a bitch. I just wish I didn't have to do this silly initiation party.”I said. I could be doing better things like going through Duncan's room and office, but here I was letting a bitch I would have fucked up in the streets hit me without repercussions.“Please ignore Sabrina. She's just jealous the boss wants you…”“And that's the problem…” I stepped back.“I don't want the boss… I'm not interested in him. He's a playboy who's looking for a plaything to satisfy him till he gets bored or worse, add me to his roster. I refuse to be his groupie.”I snapped.Lily’s lips thinned.“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that.” “It's okay, I know you didn't mean it. How about I freshen up your makeup and we go back to the party? Your initiation is about to start.”“Yeah, okay,”Lily did her magi
AnnaMy breath hitched at Duncan’s proximity and touch.He was so close that I was fighting myself to enjoy his company. It hurt like hell.I had never had to fight my attraction for anyone before this hard. It felt odd.“You should be careful, Boss,” I whispered, my voice steady despite the battle I was fighting with myself. "People might think you're flirting with your accountant,"Duncan smirked, his desire-filled eyes assessing me like prey as his hands trailed lower, grazing my shoulder.The touch was heated with sensual undertones that I couldn't deny. I felt in intimate places I didn't care to name."People? You mean my subordinates that have pledged their life and loyalty to me?" He chuckled.When he put it like that, it made sense he was flirting so hard. Nobody could check him at the end of the day.But why was I responding?Why did I feel the need to impress him?I still had to keep up appearances; that was why.“Right. I forgot how powerful you are.”“Dance with me,” he sa
DuncanI sucked in a breath as my eyes landed on Anna, my fingers clenching at my sides as I fought the urge to growl.She looked breathtaking.The dress on her fit like a glove, showing off her curve in the most sinful way possible.How can one be so sensual without trying? It was madness. The way she set my blood on fire was absolute madness.I pinched my index finger so hard drawing blood At the end of the night, I was definitely going to be taking that dress off her.Levi approached me, dressed in a sharp navy blue suit.His usual stoic expression in place.“Everything is ready,” he said and I nodded.He leaned in a little closer without looking at me and whispered.“People are asking questions on why they can't change tonight,*“Because we have a human in our midst,” I snapped .Levi pursed his lips in confusion. He sighed and nodded before making his way towards a crowd of men.A few of my men approached me, all smiling happy to see me.They exchanged pleasantries.“I don't u
AnnaThe party was in full swing by the time we arrived. The air was thick with the scent of expensive cologne, alcohol and something faintly metallic- blood maybe.I wasn't sure. I was too much in awe of the opulence and elegance of the place to pay attention to anything else.I hadn’t expected this. This wasn’t the kind of gathering I associated with the mafia. I’d envisioned something darker, grittier—underground clubs, pounding bass, and the sharp tang of gunpowder. Not this.Classical music played from an orchestra and I blinked in surprise.Surprise was an understatement. This wasn't like the gang meetings I was accustomed to.It was sophisticated with men and women dressed in sharp suits and delicate beautiful gowns. The air of aristocracy was a great contrast to the gang parties I had been to.As I stepped in, I could not help but feel out of place. “Are we at the right place?” I murmured to Lily who was walking beside me.She was wearing a beautiful peach–coloured gown and
AnnaAs soon as I closed the door behind Lucas, I placed the dress on my bed staring at it with a forlorn expression. I had never had anyone buy me anything before, well except Tim but he didn't exactly have a choice, we were joined at the hips and have always been.I had learnt in the streets that no gifts went unpunished.I picked up the dress and placed it against my frame and stared at my reflection in the mirror. I looked… refined, like I belonged but deep down, I knew I didn't. I wasn't a fancy woman, although I had been able to cosplay one for long, I was twh furthest thing from one.I was a beast of a woman filled with rage and anger and consumed by my need to avenge my mother.A knock sounded at the door and I was yanked out of my reverie immediately.I frowned, wondering what Lucas wanted now.Walking towards my bed, I placed the dress on my bed and made my way to the door and pulled it open.“Hiya!” Lily was standing at the door, a big smile on her face. She had her hair
