THIRTY NINEANDRESI carried a shivering Catherina up and out of the dungeons and straight to my room where I placed her on the bed and wrapped her in a blanket“Don’t move” I warned, tucking the blanket around her chin while she stared up at me without blinking.I resisted the urge to touch her face and try to erase the dried streaks of tears I could still see there. She had brought this upon herself, thinking she could run away from me… trying to shame and insult me in front of the clan. So why was I feeling remorse as I made sure she had the blanket all over her body.“Why did you come?” she asked“I want you punished, not killed and you looked like you were about to die” I snapped at her.She glared at me but said nothing as I flipped the phone in my pocket out, ringing one of the maids.“I want food brought up to my room immediately” I told her.“What would you like?” I turned to Catherina who was already dozing.I did not think she heard me“Bring everything you have and can pro
FOURTYCATHERINAWhy the hell was he being sweet and nice to me when he had almost killed me, I thought as I sat in front of everything he had asked be brought for me to eat.I could not hate him if he was acting like this and I needed to channel my anger; it was his men that had ruined my family, after all. I was at his mercy and so I had to behave because there was no way I would go back to that dungeon alive; he would have to take my dead body if he had any plans of putting me back there after all these.There had been something about the way he had carried me gently away from the dungeons and now food? Even taking a bath in his bathroom?Would it work if I tried seducing him, I thought as I dug into the bacon in front of me.It was pretty clear to me that he was affectionate towards me and I was going to use that until I could get out of this hell hole and make him pay dearly.“What are you so concentrated on thinking?” he asked, jolting me from the murderous thoughts I was having
FOURTY ONEANDRESI had one rule that was never to torture women or involve them in whatever happened in the cosa del infierno but it would seem that I was the only one who obeyed my rules in the clan. Someone had given one of the maids before me a fucking peach, something they knew I was allergy for and an information the maids were not privy to.Of course whosoever it was knew I would never take it but it was some warning to me to keep me on my toes. Someone was trying to let me know that they were watching and could do away with me at any time they deemed fit.I laughed bitterly, my gaze resting on each of the maid's faces while they maintained their eye contact with the floor.I was fucking jefe not some silly kid that they could poison with a fucking allergy condition.“I will only ask this question once before I begin separating your fingers from its joints. Which one of you was given the peach fruit and asked to serve it to me” I spokeThey were shaking, fidgeting in my presenc
FOURTY TWOCATHERINAAndres had been gone for a while and I was beginning to wonder if his enemies had gotten to him before me. Miguel had refused to expand that cryptic sentence he had made about Andres’ father beating him to a pulp. I was surprised at how desperately I wanted to hear that story or anything about Andres because I realized how little I knew about him“What kind of person was he as a child?” I askedMiguel stared at me like he was sure I was losing it but then sighed theatrically.“Andres was a soft child who looked more like his mother than he did his father. He had a brother…”“Yes, the one he killed” I interruptedMiguel started in surprise before he began laughing which left me quite confusedWhat was funny about a man murdering his own brother?“Of course the rumors we spread was to make it look like he murdered his brother but I can assure you that Andres’ brother is alive and well and living the life he had always wanted to live. Away from the responsibility of
FOURTY THREEANDRESI had told Miguel to fucking keep her in the room and he dared allow her roam the grounds knowing fully well that the mayores were still clamoring that she either be put down or married to me immediately. I slid into my room, noting first that Miguel was not in it and secondly that Catherina had a duvet over her head.It had been moving right before I cleared my throat and she became aware of my presence in the room.“What are you doing?” I asked, coming around to where she layShe peeked from under the covers at me, her face red from blushing so hard“Nothing, I am sorry… I should not have opened the door when… you know… your…” she sputtered, blushing furiouslyShe was fucking cute in my bed, underneath my covers, blushing just because she had seen me getting sucked off. She could hardly imagine that it was her I wanted on both knees with my cock deep down her throat.I cleared my throat, adjusting my stance because I could feel myself grow thicker just because of
FOURTY FOURCATHERINAFucking cuffing me to the bed while he gallivanted or went to have his dick sucked, I fumed, not even bothering to strain against the cuffs.I needed desperately to use the bathroom but I could not, bound here like some sacrificial lamb. I wiggled my waist, the shirt I was wearing coming up to expose my panties. I began counting from one, taking deep breaths in between as I counted, trying to distract myself from the pressure building up in my bladder.The creak of the door stopped me in between breaths and I opened my eyes to glare as he entered. His back was to me and I could see that he had discarded his shirt and wait a minute… his hands were bloodied.What had he done? I thought“I need to fucking pee, asshole” I snappedHe turned to me, his eyes filled with rage before they focused on my face and I watched the anger drain away.“I need to…” I said again“I heard you the first time” he interrupted, reaching for his pocket with his bloodied hands.I followed
FOURTY FIVEANDRESI was either mad or I had been bewitchedI hadn’t expected that I would love teasing her or that I was going to enjoy her cries of pleasure as I ate her out, tasting her with such relish. I was fucking losing it because even at this moment with Miguel talking to me about the man that was caught and the same one I had tortured the previous day concerning the fruit he had given the maid, I was still thinking of her.I had never felt such hunger and the terrible need to fuck till I was completely buried to the hilt in her but I had noticed her hesitation yesterday. It had been slight and hadn’t even last for a minute but it had been there and I was damned if I was going to take her against her will even when I knew we had chemistry and even if it had taken all my self-control to not do with her as I pleasedJoder mierda“You are distracted” Miguel commented“I am listening” I snapped“I fear that she is becoming a distraction to you and one you cannot afford” he contin
FOURTY SIXCATHERINAI stared at him blinking as his gaze remained on my face, waiting for me to say something.“Do not think for one minute that because you have me right where you want me that you will be anything to me other than an enemy” I snapped at him“Your body said otherwise yesterday, mi puta” he grinned“Do not call me that” I said, eyeing him.He said nothing to me, merely watched me like a tiger would his prey and I could feel his overpowering presence envelop me“Stop staring at me” I squeaked.I cleared my throat, angry at the tone my voice had taken and the fact that I was hot, unbearably hot and wanted to discard my clothes. His gaze was searing, drying up my throatI should not be feeling this way, I said to myself“Come closer, Catherina” he growled“I don’t want to” I countered, my heart slamming frantically against my ribcage.“I am sorry if I phrased that like I was asking you a question. Come here or I will come for you” he commandedI slid out of the bed, drag
EIGHTEENALEJANDROShe was sitting too quietly for my liking… just there with her legs bunched together like I had taken the life force from her when we were barely started in our question for revenge.I had sent the nude pictures I had taken of her, straight to Andres’ through an untraceable network and I was now waiting for him to call me with the number I had dropped alongside the pictures. If there was anything I knew about my cousin, he was going to try and trace where the picture had come from and only when he is sure that he has exhausted all possible ways to find me will he place that phone call.I was giving him an hour at most before I heard from him… the empty threats. I call it empty because he would not be able to catch me so easily ever again. The last time I had allowed him do his worst to me even when I had not been directly involved in what had happened to his pet.I had given the order so yes, that would make me the most guilty in the matter but he and I were family
SEVENTEENAUDREYI don’t know how long I sat there, naked with my legs drawn up to my chest and my head bowed low as I thought about how the fuck I had allowed myself to be so seduced.I don’t know how long I slept before I woke up in a cold sweat, my heart pounding furiously in my chest as my eyes took a sweep round the room.It wasn’t a dream… not a nightmare either, I thought as the memories flooded back; memories of my own shame.I buried my face in my hands and berated myself for my stupidity.How could I have been so blind? The truth had been staring at me in the face but I had been so fucking stupid and horny.I had hoped that he loved me but how could a man… I should have figured out immediately he started paying special attention to me that there was something wrong. I had let myself be seduced by his smooth words and charming demeanor, never once suspecting that he was the same man who had caused so much pain and suffering in my family.Now, as I sat in the dimly-lit cabin,
SIXTEENALEJANDROShe remained sitting, her arms folded across her chest and her eyes pinned somewhere above my head. She had her mouth in a thin line and was trying not to look in my direction even as I stared pointedly at her.My cock twitched as I pinned her with a glare, my mouth also set in a grim line. She wasn’t supposed to have heard about what Sergio and I had talked about; I wanted to do this my own way but oh well… it was what it was.I pushed back from the wall I was standing, twirling the knife she had almost used to stab me in my hand; the very same that her brother in law and my cousin had marked me with.I could feel the rage spinning in my chest and welcomed it, allowing it fuel me as I approached her until she had no choice but to look up at me.She was glaring, her eyes twinkling with distaste and disgust, two emotions which were so foreign to her countenance and person…As foreign as the scar on my face, I musedI wanted to think that I knew her but she was the ene
FIFTEENAUDREYI heard him climb out of the bed and muttered my protest as he carried the whole heat of his presence with him. I had had sex before, with a boy my age and in the house of my papa where we had to be quiet and afraid as we did the deed.It was the last time that I had allowed anyone of the opposite gender touch me until Victor. He was everything I envisioned powerful lovemaking to be and we had continued well into the night in as many positions as I could imagine.My eyes fluttered open as I sighed deeply and contentedly, stretching and wincing at the sore I felt in between my legs. I sat up slowly, rubbing the sleep away from my eyes as I stared around the room, taking in its appearance. I was fascinated by the way he had designed it and although I considered it really odd to have whips of various sizes strung to the wall and…I scampered out of the bed, reaching for the knife that was hung at the far end of the room. It had a very peculiar hilt and it was somewhat curv
FOURTEENALEJANDROShe looked like an angel sleeping there with her hair thrown back and her mouth slightly agape but it was not watching her that kept me awake; it was the energy thrumming through my body in waves and I wanted to tell myself that she hadn’t just touched something within me that had died with my torture but it was impossible not to feel everything she had given me and everything I had not returned.I smiled as she sighed, snuggling in closer to me and my arm involuntarily locking around her waist; she was beautiful and so innocent in many ways.I frowned hoping the hurt in my chest was because I hadn’t eaten in a while and was quite hungry and not because I was feeling sorry for what I was about to do to her. She needed no pity from me after all I had to endure from Andres and because of her sister; I wanted her to get the same equal measure of punishment and I wanted to break her so bad that she would never be able to smile ever again.As if on cue, her lips curved i
THIRTEENAUDREYThere were so many scars and I knew that it was the sign that I needed to be running for the hills but I was more intrigued with him than I had ever been with anything in my life and I could not tear my eyes from his body nor could I move as he stared at me with black eyes while I trailed my fingers over his scars.He looked like I was doing the exact opposite of what he had thought I would do and it fascinated him tooI rested my gaze on his chest, swallowing painfully at the scar that matted it even then; he must have been tortured to have been scarred this bad and I wondered who the hell would hurt him in such damning way.I watched his lips turn up in a smile before they descended on mine, his tongue forcing my mouth open and plunging deep. I was hit by the intensity of this kiss and clung to him to steady myself against the onslaught of heat pooling in my belly.He tasted like absolute sin and the danger I had been trying all my life to run away from but I was com
TWELVEALEJANDRO“I want to do this” she murmured as soon as we satI had no idea what she was talking about of course and told her so.She blushed beautifully, twirling her fingers in front of her as she sought words to properly convey what she was talking about.“Yesterday you said you felt something…I just… I really”My eyes twinkled as I watched her struggle to form words, glancing at me for help“Dance with me, Audrey” I murmured, putting out a handShe smiled, glancing around the quiet room.“There is no music” she pointed out“Isn’t there?” I asked.As if on cue, music filtered through the speakers I had positioned and had covered at the edge of the room. I watched her eyes widen in surprise and then amusement as she placed one hand in mine and allowed me drag her up so we were inclined against one another.I twirled her first before placing my hand on the small on her back and guiding her through the steps while she laughed.She was stunning; absolutely and deliciously stunnin
ELEVENAUDREYI was giddy with excitement and then terrified that I was giddy with excitement.How could I be excited that I was about to have sex with some man that I barely knew; I had no idea who he was and if he was even who he said he wasIt is just sex, I had tried to reassure myself and it could never be more, I had said but the shivers my body was making and the war that had been raging at the pit of my belly for the whole day was saying otherwise.Not even Valerie’s reassuring words was helping the terror and nervousness threatening to overwhelm me. The last intimacy I had had with a man was with Bruno and it hadn’t been as earth shattering as Valerie always described her rounds of sex with men.It had been something between two people that were scared of being apart and it had been done under my father’s roof with the fear of being caught overruling the passion and pleasure of the moment.There was also the case about an orgasm; I had no idea what that was like and I would h
TENALEJANDROMy eyes moved from the laptop in front of me to Sergio’s faceSomething was wrong“What is it?” I asked urgently“We have to proceed with the girl” he sighed“What is the hurry?”“Ana thinks it is a horrible idea and while I think it is fantastic, she is of the notion that it was going to make the revenge more complicated”“But?” I proddedHe blinked, confusion dotting his forehead“But what?” he asked“You have a but there” I told himHe chuckled, grabbing a seat“I think it is bullshit and she is only saying that because… well she is Ana and she is crazy. I wouldn’t take whatever that woman says serious”“I didn’t think so” I smiled, returning my eyes to the laptop“We need to…”“We will do it my way, Sergio” I interrupted, whipping my eyes to meet his.He remained silent while I boiled with anger.Every one of them wanted their moment with Andres but couldn’t find the guts to fucking go for him themselves. They wanted me to do it so they could hide in my shadow and po
