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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Chapter one14 years ago.The darkness that surrounded AVIANA under her bed did nothing to alleviate the shaking in her bones and pounding in her chest. Her mouth was clamped shut with her hands and she was doing everything in her power not to be noticed just like her mother had said to her but it was hard especially when she could hear her heart beating loudly in her chest.The tension in the room grew to a degree that was unbeatable and all she could do was watch and wait like he mother had instructed her to.She watched in complete helplessness as the strange men in her mother's bedroom became more aggressive with their words, cursing out her mother in a thick accent she couldn't place. She'd seen them before. Once or twice. Her mom called them friends but she'd always felt something wasn't quite right about them and could never fathom how she'd become friends with men like that..The yelling continued and Aviana heard her mother began to beg them but they didn't seem to want to

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
