SIN'S POVI leaned back on my sofa chair, my head tilted toward the ceiling, and my eyes were closed when the door opened. I knew who it was without opening my eyes. Only one person would dare come into my room without permission.I opened my eyes and caught sight of Luca strolling in. He closed the door behind him, leaned against it, and crossed his arms in front of his chest."Seriously?" he asked as he stared at me, his face expressionless."Am I supposed to know what that means?" I fired back without answering his question. I knew what he was talking about, but I had no desire to discuss that matter. It was none of his business who I decided to keep or not.I stood up and walked over to the small bar. "You know, there were better ways of taking out Fabian. Not in front of Mani and Zoey."After I poured some whiskey into two glasses, Luca took one from my hand and sipped slowly.We both stared at each other; the air was tense around us. When his glass was empty, he placed it on the
Mani’s Pov."Praise the heavens, you decided to leave your room." Zoey mused when I took a seat at the counter, and I playfully glared at her while pouting my lips."You act like I don’t leave my room."She snorts, shaking her head. "You can’t possibly count spending hours in the library as a breath of fresh air." She says, "I know you love reading and all, but don’t you get bored?""I don’t. My aim is to read as many books as I can in the library. Besides, it’s my source of entertainment when you aren’t there to keep me company."I understand, but still." She sighs, placing a hand on the left side of her waist. "What book do you plan to read now?"I smiled. "I actually saw one, Fifty Shades of Grey, and I’m intrigued to see what it’s about."Her brows creased and her lips parted a bit. "Are you certain about that?""What?" I asked, confused."I mean, are you sure you want to read that?" She clarifies, eyeing the book in my hand."Yeah, why?" I asked, staring at the book before star
My mind was racing when I returned to my room, not believing what had just happened. I jumped onto the bed, burying my face in the pillow, before letting out a series of screams.Why, no matter how hard I try not to do anything humiliating in front of Sin, do I keep embarrassing myself? In front of him, it just keeps happening. It was like the universe was against me.I sighed, refusing to take my head out of the pillow even when I heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps approaching the bed."Well, this wasn't the sight I was expecting." Zoey muttered, making me look up from the pillow, casting a glare in her direction, and watching her shudder in confusion as she dropped the plate of Oreos and the glass of juice on the table."Woah... why do I have a feeling you are planning my murder in your head?""Because I am." I yelled, jumping out of bed and picking up a pillow in the process.Zoey takes a step back, racing towards the other side of the bed and picking up a pillow of
I was sitting close to the window while reading a new book, this time making sure to browse through the book and making sure I hadn’t taken one like the last. Though I doubt that was possible because Sin made sure to remove any books of that nature from the library shelf.I giggled, flipping the pages of the book I was reading, when the door of my room pulled open and a woman walked in.She was dressed in a sophisticated and elegant way. Her brown hair was tied up in a tight bun with little to no makeup on her face."Can I help you?" I asked as she looked at me up and down."Mr. Violante says you need a dress for the ball." She said, "I’m here to assist you and make sure you get the right gown.""Oh, of course." My demeanour was instantly thawed. "It's nice to meet you. I’m Normani.”"Ms. Normani, It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Willow. I’ve picked out a few dresses for you. Let me know what you think." She says. "Though Mr. Violenta has already picked out a gown for you tha
Sin’s Pov.As we departed the building for the location of the yearly ball, I fixed my gaze on the woman seated next to me in my car. I initially refused to go to the ball because I didn't want to pretend to get along with anyone when their only goal was to flaunt their wealth. However, Luca persuaded me that I should go this time even if I had to stay an hour, as opposed to skipping it like I had done the last time and many times before. I had only attended the ball once, when I took over from my father, and I had gone by myself with no companions. That was the same as every other party I'd been to.I was going with a date for the first time, and for the better, I thought having Mani with me would be nice. She is incredibly stunning now that I have looked at her more. Her lovely blue eyes sparkled like precious stones. Her attention was focused out the window, her lips cast down with a pout, and I wondered what could have possibly made her unhappy.As if she could feel my gaze on her
"I see..." Before Lauren could finish her sentence, I walked away from her, deciding to approach the buffet table instead of having any conversation with her.I picked up a glass of orange juice as soon as I reached the buffet table and sipped it. My mouth watered at the sight of the variety of foods on the table. I was about to pick up a plate off the table when a familiar female voice sounded from behind me."I find it quite rude to leave in the middle of a conversation." I rolled my eyes, letting out a sigh."We had nothing of importance to say." I said, not paying any attention to her. "I know for a fact that you don’t like me.""Then I guess I don’t have to pretend.""Like you were!""How did you manage to get his attention?" Well, I met him at the club and got kidnapped by him a month later. I wanted to answer that way."I don't know what you are talking about."“Of course, I don't expect you to reveal your technique, since that's what you need to keep your place. Just tell me
It had been thirty minutes since Sin and I returned from the ball, and all I could think about was how amazing it was to have him dance with me. Despite encountering Lauren, the night had gone smoothly and was amazing.After our dance, we stayed an extra three hours at the party, with Sin introducing me to a couple of people. We decided to call it a night when the clock hit eleven and I was already getting tired.But instead of getting ready for bed, all I could think about was the ball and Sin. There was no denying that my feelings for him were growing with each passing day.Shaking the thought off my head, I undid the knot of my bathrobe to step into the showers. But as I run my hands over my body, I can't stop thinking about all the places he's touched me... and wishing he was here to touch me again. I shut my eyes under the stream of hot water, imagining Sin beside me, grinning that sly, dark smile of his, and pinning me against the shower door before he bends to kiss me. His hand
"Good." Sin’s grin widens. With a lazy smirk, he wraps one arm around my waist, pulling me against him. Our mouths collide again, and this time there’s no hesitation from my end. I let my head fall back and my lips part as his tongue explored my mouth, harsh and possessive. He breaks the kiss, and his lips trail down my neck, following the same path his fingertips did earlier. He licks and nips at my skin, making me gasp.Then his mouth traces lower, over my collarbone, down to my breasts. He pins my back against the wall of the bathroom and suckles one of my nipples between his lips, his tongue flicking across the hard nub, toying with me, teasing me. I moan and arch into him, and his hands slide around the small of my back, bracing me against him as he sucks and licks at one nipple, then the next."God, you’re perfect," he breathes, his breath hot against my damp skin, when he pauses to tilt his head back and meet my eyes. "You know, I wanted so badly to rip the dress off of you th
