CarrieThe Walk of Shame that I was meant to experience after the first night I spent with Alessandro was only just getting to me at that moment. After we walked past the busy reception where Alessandro got his key card, the silence that found its way to our midst when we entered the elevator made me feel ashamed for some reason I could not decipher.And that feeling worsened after we walked out and down the corridor towards his room.But thankfully, after a seemingly long walk, we finally ended up in front of his room. A ting from the door lock led us into the huge room.Once I stepped into the abode that gave off more of Alessandro’s scent, I raced toward the couch at the other end of the room. It was the seat that was closest to a window. As I settled, I refused to look in Alessandro’s direction. My eyes stayed fixed on the view of the city ahead.“I need ten minutes,” Alessandro informed me. And I still refused to look at him.I pretended that something extremely interesting had c
CarrieFor a couple of minutes, all of my senses were ignited and I could see, feel and hear things twice as much.The fire in Alessandro’s eyes.The way those eyes flickered into slight confusion. The way his hands held me in places I could not ignore. His chest pressing into mine and the crazy pounding from my heart…I sensed everything.And I could not find a way to escape from that moment. It became especially harder to escape after he shifted his lower body so that he was caging me between his legs.My hands gathered to my chest as coyness befell me and I found myself waiting for a chance to ask him why he was in tears.“Miss Edwards…” His voice was full of sleep. “Your eyes… These eyes of yours…” He moved again and I felt him brush against my centre. “I think they are really the solution.”“Th-The solution?” My brows jerked for a second and I wondered if the heat that had been threatening to explode between us was finally going to be explored.“I feel happy right now.”His state
Alessandro“Our men have captured the spy,” Eduardo informed me eagerly. Then, he scoffed and said, “I can’t believe your grandfather almost jailed Carrie. She doesn’t even look like someome that would be a spy.”“I can’t believe that I cried,” I murmured to myself as I played the moment that led to Miss Edwards and I sharing another intimate contact.“Did that old man really think that things would go his way? I must say, he is always desperate to suck some blood. I wonder if he is a vampire when the rest of us are sleeping.”I finally dragged myself out of my thoughts and focused on Eduardo’s words. “We hardly sleep around here. You are no stranger to that fact.” My eyes remained trained on Miss Edwards who was still sleeping soundly, greatly unaware that two men were standing over her. “Eduardo?” I called because an issue I have found myself battling with became something I desired to share with the man.“Do you want to order the death of the spy?” The thirst for some action rested
AlessandroI had no desire to waste time. Not when that woman’s life is in danger. My entire being knows that dragging and smearing the issue my grandfather has created would have been a delight, but Miss Edwards’s life is more important.So, with glaring eyes, I tossed Eduardo’s phone to him and got rid of the glove I was handed. Attempting to wear that glove will be a waste of time. Besides, this will not be the first time I’ll get blood on my hands.“So, what are you going to do?” The old man continued to taunt me. “Are you going to-?”I faced one of the men next to me and asked for a dagger. Well, to be more precise, I asked for my special dagger, the very one that does the job in one go.“Alessandro…”“Shut it.” I hurried my steps toward the spy. With a firm hold of his head, I tilted his bloodied face upwards and after a brief eye contact with the almost soulless man, I dragged the sharpness of the blade across his neck as slowly as possible. Taking a good number of seconds to c
CarrieI woke up from a long sleep and I could tell that there was something wrong. Not only was there an unusual rush of breeze, but the smell around me also was that of deadened sweat and since I have never perceived such a thing around Alessandro, I was left to think that I had some unknown visitors while I was sleeping.I have to say though… That sleep was one of the best I have had in a while. And it is a delight that I am not using that statement in reference to sex.Unable to return to the slumber world, I got rid of the comfy blankets draped over my feet and prepared myself to get off the bed. As I calculated how I would hurriedly transport myself to the bathroom so that I could get rid of the pressing urge to pee, I finally sensed Alessandro’s presence.But the man was not on the couch on which, or rather, against which we had unexpected, mind-blowing sex. But when I looked towards the exit and saw a brief outline of his shadow that had managed to seep past the door, I rushed
CarrieWhen the car came to a halt and we all alighted, the view of a raging sea greeted us eagerly and that scenery almost made my jaws drop in surprise. But, I looked behind me and the magnificent building that stared back at me from a distance did the job of prying my lips apart in shock.While I felt the looseness of the sand around my light slippers, I faced the beautiful view of the ocean and I got mesmerised by the way the full moon haggardly settled at the end of the unresting water body.“It’s quite a view, isn’t it?” Eduardo softly commented behind me and I could not help but agree. Alessandro quietly settled next to me and said nothing. And Eduardo continued talking while he massaged the ground with his shoes, “You will have a swell time living here. I think the ocean view will be the best for the baby.”“It’s a great view for me.”“I think Alessandro likes it as well.” We both glanced at the stoic man who was now barely unbothered by the spots of deep red blemishes on his
CarrieFor what seemed like an eternity, extreme silence overpowered the moment, and I almost heard the rapid beating I felt against my chest.But it took Alessandro clearing his throat and taking the first step forward to break the ice. The man, Frank Maximus, moved closer as well. And even though I could not see their faces properly, I got the feeling that they were doing a mini face-off.“Frank Maximus,” Alessandro bitterly spat the man’s name, his hands tucked into his wet and somewhat sandy pants.“You know who I am,” the unexpected visitor remarked, his hands pocketed as well.Gosh… I doubt I can ever get used to the peculiarity of Frank’s voice. I don’t even want to. Seeing Frank at that moment was just a trigger. He reminded me of the terrible past I was trying to shed, he reminded me that my father willingly sold me off without remorse.“What are you do
AlessandroI have a strange habit.Whenever things don’t go my way, I act insane. I do things like walking towards the brink of the ocean or shaving a newly cut hair into an extremely low one. Sometimes I starve myself as punishment and do nothing but drink wine. On other days, I go easy on myself by getting a tattoo or two.On this crazy night, I decided to walk barefoot. I am on my way to a small house which is a walkable distance from my new home. Well, our new home.The fact that I was taking a risk by leaving Carrie by herself seeped into my mind and I paused my slow steps to take a brief look at the house.Then, seconds later, I continued walking, still not caring about the fact that my feet could bruise if I happen to stumble upon sharp things. But in the past, a lot of sharp objects have pierced numerous parts of my body, I am sure I can take a little more hurt.As long as I punish myself enough for wh
