Anna felt frustrated at what she considered to be naivety. “They're all fools. That kitchen is frequented by Adam's men and werewolves. They come and go as they please. She's probably sleeping with one of them, and the wretch has probably fallen in love and does whatever she tells him. You can expect more surprises.” “We're all keeping an eye on her, and you're right. She has a lover, but she hasn't said who it is. Adam isn't interested in his employees' affairs.” “His lack of interest could cost you all your lives.” Anna said. “Did you say 'right now'?” What's going on?” Genevieve looked at her thoughtfully and they heard a knock on the door. Anna went to open it and it was Beth, wearing a beautiful dress. Genevieve was right. Everyone would be wearing their best clothes to the party. “Mr. Lens' men have arrived to pick up the ladies to take to the party.” “But you're my guest. You're going in the car with us. I want you there to celebrate with me, not as an employee
There were shouts, applause and whistles. But they weren't listening. At that moment, they were sealing the promise of eternal love. Anna was too moved, and a little embarrassed, not to give the man she loved something better than a kiss. Anna's father interrupted them. “I think everyone has understood your answer, my child.” Laughter spread through the hall as he spoke into the microphone. “Sorry, Dad.” She said, moving a little away from Maxwell, as they were glued to each other. “No need to apologize, it was a beautiful scene to watch. I only stopped you to give you my belated wedding present.” He said and placed another velvet box in Anna's hands. But this one was red and longer, rectangular. Anna was curious. She hoped it wasn't a car key, because she liked her own. She looked around and smiled at Beth, who looked like someone else and was standing next to one of Maxwell's men in the middle of the crowd. Jenna and Helen stood next to her father vying for his atte
Anna smiled when she saw the amused glint in Maxwell's eyes. “Yes... I can't blame them. I... I prefer it too, but it's fun that we can have every day, already an internationally successful band, coming to a college party...” “They also had to look after Ian.” “But... What about Helen?” “She came as a guest.” “Did you invite her?” “Yes.” “Why did you do that?” Anna began to feel that the perfect evening would end at that moment. “I felt sorry for her. I think she needed to come to a place like this, to give herself the chance to meet someone... special. Special.” Anna was relieved. “You're right. It was inconsiderate of me not to invite her.” Maxwell wiped his lips with a napkin and looked at Anna. “If you think you've had enough to eat, we could leave. Our evening is far from over.” He said and Anna felt the warmth those words caused in her body. She was suddenly very eager to have Maxwell touch her body. “Of course.” She agreed happily, and with their
“You wanted to know what it was like with Anna and I've already shown you. I don't enjoy having sex with you anymore. I hope you've satisfied your curiosity, Kate. I think it's very difficult for this to happen again. That's what you intended, fantasizing, right? To experience what she experienced with me?” “I thought...” Kate turned red and kept quiet, thinking of something to say to counter what he had just said. Was he no longer attracted to her? She would have to use other means to seduce him. And she already knew which ones. “Did you think that by putting on her clothes, wearing a wig, and using her perfume, you could fool me? You must be smarter than that.” “You knew you were having sex with me, so you still want me. I won't apologize for needing to make you see her in me, to get back to being a manly man.” “Kate, Kate, Kate... Anna exudes a scent of her own, which no one can imitate, and it's better than any perfume and her body...” He closed his eyes. “Her body i
“What's up, Jenna? Have you heard from Henry?” Jenna hated feeling like the bearer of bad news when she saw the agony in Adam's voice. “Anna's father found her and asked me to let you know.” “He's bringing her back to me?” “She didn't want to come back. I'm sorry Adam, but she's going with her father to Scotland.” “Where did he find her?” “She was in England.” “Did she have a lover there?” “I find that difficult, Adam. She was living in a poor hotel and feeding on broth.” “Where did her father warn you about?” Jenna turned red, but she couldn't tell him that she had known where Anna was for a week, even if she hadn't been found by Henry yet, but she would give Adam the chance to convince Anna. She missed him too and knew that he needed her like roses needed the sun.” “He called me from the airport here in the United States. He made a stopover here in the States, in Nevada, but Anna doesn't know that.” “Which one, Jenna?” He asked, putting his hands on his he
Kate saw when Jenna went out to the kitchen, as she had been watching them since Adam arrived. She took advantage of this and sat down opposite him. You couldn't see his eyes, but you could sense that he wasn't well. And even though she feared it was a bad time, she needed to support him, whatever he was doing. She believed it was something about Anna, because after talking to Jenna, he left in a hurry, looking lost. Maybe something bad had happened to her, and that would be the gift Kate would sell her soul to hear. “Adam... I want you to know that you can count on my support, in everything. I'll always be there for you. “I appreciate that, Kate. But... Today I intend to have my meal only in Jenna's presence... I'm not belittling her, but I have business with her.” “Don't you want me to make something for you?” “Yes, I do. Go to the kitchen and tell the cooks and my men that your lunch will be served on the balcony table today. You must tell Caricatura that the kitchen d
Adam pushed his empty plate away and smiled sarcastically at Jenna. “Did you really think I'd allow you to run off to warn her and her father, Jenna? Did you really think I was that naive?” “I... No. If you don't let him, he won't know anything, so you can tell me.” “So, Jenna, don't tell anyone about what we're talking about here. It would be a lot of work for me to manipulate your mind so that you can't write anything else. As for how long I give her, it will depend on the life she's leading there... I bet her father will enroll her again. And if that's the case, I'll wait for her to graduate. I don't want her to miss out on any of her adolescence, and changing schools means she won't have any friends her own age. I want to steal her happiness. But there's unfinished business between us...” “You put a detective on her, right?” Jenna asked smiling, interrupting Adam. “I don't leave my treasures without proper attention. After her escape, I became more careful.”
Maxwell followed her in contemplative silence. She didn't even notice his various reactions to her own as she looked at each room. She found the room that had been prepared for Ian, and it was simply beautiful. Her room and Maxwell's room were next to Ian's room. She entered and then turned to him and said with a seductive smile. “What do you say we open our room?” She said, pulling him by the hand. “The bedroom?” He asked with an amused look on his face. “All the rooms. We'll make love in every room of this mansion. Even the kitchen.” She said, unbuttoning his shirt. “It'll take us about three days.” He said mockingly, as the mansion consisted of seventeen rooms. “Three days non-stop, my wife. Are you prepared to have my penis inside you for that long?” Anna continued to unbutton his shirt, but Maxwell felt her hands begin to tremble slightly. “Then let's not waste a second. I want you to keep that promise, my husband. It's going to be a wonderful experience.” She said
