Alston steps forward, his stance protective. “Who are you? What do you want with her?”The man’s eyes shift to Alston, a hint of amusement, and annoyance in his expression. “I am Rudolf Belmont, head of the Belmont family, but you can call me Rudy.” He extends his hand to me, I place it in his hesit
“No.” I whisper.“Or Alston will die.” Rudy’s voice drops deadly, and I bristle.Sirius laces his hands with mine, pulling me to my feet. “We’re leaving.”I follow Sirius before hesitating, glancing back at Rudy’s direction. “Please, Rudy, spare Alston. ”Jealousy flashes in Sirius’s eyes as he cli
He slips his fingers under the waistband of my panties, and I lift my hips to help him. I feel him slide them down my legs, and I shiver in anticipation. A thrill of desperation and longing courses through me as his fingers brush against my core, “You’re so wet for me Lisse.”I wiggle, the sensation
Sirius has locked me in his room as his prisoner for two weeks. At first, I banged on the door and demanded that Sirius speak to me so that I would not be silenced and disregarded. He could not brand me as a mistress, especially not his mistress, without my permission.Guards had politely asked me t
“Hello, Lucy,” I smile as I examine the new tray. “What do you have for me this evening?”Lucy’s cheeks redden, and she uncovers the dish. “Today we have Master Sirius’s favorite-”“Chicken Parmigiana?” I smile.“Yes! He’s been eating it since childhood,” she sighs. “D-do you like it?”“Yes. My moth
A strangled sob passes my lips as I stare at my name on the folded piece of paper. Alston wrote this. I’d recognize that scripted E anywhere. I crawl across the room and pull myself into the center of the bed, cradling the note to my chest.My hands tremble as I struggle to rip the note open. I have
I waited for a while after Sirius left, my hand absentmindedly touching my swollen lips and his words running through my mind over and over again. Elise, the next time I am on my knees for you, you will be madly in love, begging for me to love you.I shuddered at the words. Did I want Sirius on his
“I have to dress as a queen but I’m a mistress. How ironic.” I roll my eyes, but Sirius growls again. My eyes flash into the darkYou are not allowed to contact Alston.”I shoot up, “Sirius! You can’t just-”“If I find any contact between you and Alston, I will kill him on sight.”A chill runs down
I run before my mind can catch up, my legs carrying me through the dimly lit corridors. My breath is ragged, and my heart pounds in my chest like a drum. The echo of Sirius’s chilling threat rings in my ears, spurring me to move faster:I will cut your tongue out and make you swallow it back along w
I leave Alston’s cell, with him screaming and the rattle of his chains leaving me with a heavy heart, each step feeling like I'm walking through quicksand. The air feels colder, sharper, as if it knows the weight of what I've just done. I pause at the edge of the staircase, taking a deep breath to s
He thumb stops mid caress and I can feel his gaze running over me in confusion and judgement, “Obessed? Um…no.”I feel like I am freezing, like he just said the best and worst that I have ever heard. I take a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. “Alston, I’ve been thinking a lot about us, and
I stand at the stairs that lead to Alston’s prison cell, because Sirius said if I tell Alston the truth then he can be let free. I don’t know why but when he said that it felt like I could be set free, or caged because at this point I don’t know the difference.Sirius said he was obsessed with me. I
“Because it’s not that simple!” I cry, the tears streaming down my face. “I’m trying to do the right thing, but it’s tearing me apart. I don’t want to hurt anyone, but I don’t know how to fix this.”Sirius’s hands ball into fists at his sides, his anger barely contained. “You’re wrong; it’s simple,”
Sirius draws small circles along my spine, my head laying on his chest as his other hand lazily crawls up my inner thigh sinfully close to my center before drawing back down. His breath flutters over my face in soothing waves, and I move in closer, my curves matching the firm outline of his body per
Sirius responds immediately, his lips meeting mine with a hunger that ignites a fire within me. Without warning, Sirius closes the distance between us, his hands gripping my waist firmly as he lifts me onto the polished surface of the dining table.The cold marble against my back sends a shiver thro
Sirius looks at me with a blazing fire in his eyes, tension ever growing in the click of his jaw, but I do not waver in my gaze. I stand tall with my arms folded and my eyes narrowed in on his clicking jaw. “Elise, sit down.”“No,” I snap, my hip poking out to the side, but I suck my inner cheek bet
Eight years earlierSirius stood at the edge of the old park, the twilight sky casting long shadows across the cracked pavement.He kicked a pebble, watching it skip across the ground before glancing at his watch. Claudia had asked him to meet her here, and he couldn't shake the feeling of unease tha
