Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 23. An impromptu trip
Larissa Maynard~•~“What are you talking about?”I focused on eating the cookies. “I think it’s pretty self-explanatory, mom.”My mother stared at me for a few minutes, most likely not knowing what to say. I wasn’t scared though. I knew she was going to support my decision. She would just try to make sure I wasn’t making the wrong one.“When did you guys decide on this?”“Oh, he doesn’t know yet.” I didn’t plan on telling him. That was his punishment. He was going to find out from his family anyway after my mother spilled it to them. Then he was going to call and call and I’d never pick up his calls.I didn’t care if it was too harsh as his words kept repeating in my head. ‘You can fuck her. I don’t mind.’ What an asshole.“Larissa. What is going on? You don’t just wake up one morning and call off your engagement. Did he do something bad? Did he cheat on you?”I wasn’t going to wash our dirty linen in public. “We don’t love each other. There’s no use in getting married.” I took a big
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 24. Costa Rica
Caspian Bianchi~•~“I heard you’re chasing Larissa again.”My head snapped up at the sound of my sister’s voice. She was just like my brother, entering my office whenever she liked without knocking. One of these days, I planned to change the key lock to one with a password just like I did with my room.“Do you assume I’m idle so you can come in whenever you want and I’ll be at home?”“Don’t change the subject, Caspian. Are you chasing her again?”“What has that got to do with you, Sophia?”My sister glared at me but I never backed down from a stare-down. She was dressed elegantly in a blazer and suit pants, indicating that she was just coming back from the company. I owned it but she ran it. She was older, but I literally had to step in as the parent when our parents died.“It has everything to do with me when I’m the reason you left her in the first place.”My jaw clenched at the reminder of our past. It wasn’t something I wanted to think of, not to talk of speaking about it. I had
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 25. Costa Rica II
Larissa Maynard ~•~I knew the intentions Caspian had when he gave me the keys to the place we used to spend our holidays together but I wouldn’t lie and say it wasn’t the perfect gift.It was an amazing house that was directly by the beach; a private beach at that. It was the perfect place to go whenever I wanted to be alone. I’d been in Costa Rica for a total of eighteen hours and I’d almost forgotten about everything that happened back home.It was nice to be alone and close to the water. Currently, I was sitting by the beach. It was noon and there was a lot of sun so I wanted to take advantage of it. I was clad in a bikini set I bought when I landed in Costa Rica. I was tempted to go naked seeing as it was a private beach but I opted out of it.Alex had called me a lot and left a lot of texts. He had finally heard the news that I was no longer marrying him and he was going hysterical. He didn’t care about losing me. He cared about losing the opportunity to expand his business. I’d
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 26. Before it gets dark
Larissa Maynard ~•~“And please, can you put on some clothes? I can’t keep my eyes away and I probably can’t keep my hands to myself as well.” Caspian said casually like he didn’t just drop a bomb at me. “The mafia?” I exclaimed, ignoring his statement about clothes. It was hot and I had no intention of covering up. “You work for the mafia?”I’d read a lot about the mafia and I’d heard about it in passing. I didn’t know that it actually happened in New York. I thought it was just a rumor. “People work for me, sweetheart. I don’t work for anyone.”“Fuck.” I breathed out. “I need a minute to process this.”The Mafia. “So you sell drugs, weapons, and stuff like that? Do you sell humans too?”“No, what the fuck?”“You kill people? How many people have you killed?”“People who deserve it. I don’t kill innocent people and do you really expect me to know how many people I’ve killed? Be for real, Larissa.”“How can I be for real? This is fucking crazy.” I could not properly process it. Wa
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 27. Interference
Larissa Maynard ~•~Caspian didn’t come back before it got dark. I tried to stay up and wait for him but I ended up sleeping.When I woke up, it was midnight and I was still worried about Caspian. He hadn’t been lying when he said the reason didn’t put him in a good mood. I’d forced him to reminisce the days when he and his family had suffered greatly and I felt very bad about it.The vacation had been to forget everything. It was supposed to be a light trip but I’d ruined it for myself and him. Sighing, I put on my robe over my underwear and opened the door to the balcony. Since I’d come before Caspian, I was occupying the master’s bedroom and he was supposed to be in the room across mine.I breathed in the fresh air. The air around the beach was always different and refreshing. I looked around and my eyes caught a figure sitting by the water. I frowned and looked more closely. The figure was that of a male and except someone had broken into the house, it was Caspian.Putting on my
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 28. In danger
Larissa Maynard ~•~The non stop ringing of a phone had me stirring in my sleep until it eventually woke me up. I hated being forced to wake up and it never put me in a good mood.Sitting up slowly, the duvet fell, revealing my naked body as I looked for the source of the sound. Caspian and I had moved upstairs after our session last night where we ended up sleeping in each other’s arms, but he was nowhere to be found right now.When I finally found it, I saw that it was Caspian’s phone and a certain Wellman had called over five times. Sighing, I put on the neatest shirt I could find and took the phone to go look for Caspian downstairs.I didn’t see him around the house, but he did drop a note that said he was going to get groceries. I didn’t buy any when I arrived. I’d been surviving on instant noodles before he showed up yesterday and to think of it, I only had breakfast yesterday.I wondered why he went out without his phone when it started to ring again. What was so important tha
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 29. Five years ago
Caspian Bianchi~•~I stirred in my sleep when I heard a whimper, trying to find the right position so I wouldn’t fully wake up. But the cries only got louder and soon my eyes were fluttering open. Confused about who could be crying, I looked around and realized that I was in the master’s bedroom with Larissa. She hadn’t wanted us to stay in the same room, but when I couldn’t sleep, I ended up sleeping with her.I heard the cries again and got alarmed when I saw the tears on Larissa’s face. She wasn’t awake, which made me wonder what the hell she was dreaming about to make her cry like that.“Larissa,” I called out softly, tapping her. I didn’t want to startle her awake. “Baby, wake up.”She stirred but her breathing was just as even. The whimpers had stopped but the tears were still rolling freely down her cheeks.I got even more worried. “Larissa,” I added a bit more force to my tapping. I wanted to ruin everything that brought her tears but I couldn’t do that when they were most l
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 30. The death of me
Larissa Maynard ~•~I was embarrassed as fuck. I was embarrassed for crying in my sleep while Caspian watched and even more so for telling him the reason. That was in the top three stupidest things I’d done during my stay in Costa Rica and it wasn’t number one or two.I was tempted to stay in the shower forever. I didn’t know how to face him. I didn’t want to. When I heard his footsteps fade away, I turned on the shower and let out a scream.Why did he have to follow me on this trip? Why did he have to be so damn seductive all the time and make me want to sleep with him?Why did he have to sneak into my room every night and let me get used to his arms around my body?Why did he have to be the same Caspian Bianchi that I knew five years ago?Our familiarity from the time we were dating made it easy for me to open up to him and I was sincerely regretting it.Letting out a sigh, I finished showering and wrapped myself in a towel before going out to find something to wear. I settled for

Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 54. Final chapter
Larissa Maynard ~•~As soon as I woke up the next morning, Caspian was up and ready to take me home.I told him we could do it after work, which was why I was currently waiting for him to come get me. I finished work pretty early today and while Caspian’s home was amazing, I was happy to be out of the house.I heard a knock on my door before it was pushed open. “Do you still have more work to do?” My new assistant asked. Well, he’d been working alone for almost a month and I shouldn’t be calling him new but I still missed Ava.I shook my head. “I’m done here. You can go home. I’m just waiting for someone.”“Are you sure?”Another thing about him was that he was eager to work. “Yes, see you tomorrow.”“Alright, ma’am.” He nodded before he turned on his back and left.As soon as he did, I got a call from Caspian and my face immediately broke into a smile as I picked up the call. “I’m downstairs.” He said as soon as I brought it up to my ear.“I’m on my way,” I told him and hung up. I’d
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 53. I’ll never leave you
Larissa Maynard~•~I got back from work pretty late and as soon as I entered Caspian’s room, I saw the suitcase I’d come with, along with another smaller traveling bag that contained the things I’d bought while staying with him when I opened to look.A frown automatically marred my face as I wondered where the hell Caspian was and why he packed my things. Sure I’d told him I wanted to move out but he was the one delaying it. Had he finally realized he was tired of me?I’d wanted to wash up and go straight to bed but I kept my bag on the bed and went downstairs. I didn’t even know if he was at home, but if he was, he was either at the gym or his office.I decided to check his office first. When I got there, he wasn’t in, but Antonio was.“Larissa!” He exclaimed as I pushed the door open. He was sitting behind the desk, twirling the chair. I let out a small laugh, knowing Caspian was going to complain about it if he saw his younger brother on his chair. “We live in the same house but it
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 52. Grandkids
Larissa Maynard~•~Despite what Caspian said, he didn’t let me move out just yet. He told me to give him a week and then, he could let me leave. I’d asked him the reason, but he didn’t say.I was nervous as we stood in front of my parents’ house. It was the first time I was ringing the doorbell because I brought Caspian with me.They’d met him back when we were younger. I just didn’t know if they would still like him or not. The time they met, he was still a senior in college so they didn’t have much expectations for him.“I can feel your anxiety rolling off you in waves.” Caspian casually commented as he intertwined his hand with mine. “How are you more nervous than me? We’re visiting your parents whom you grew up with.”He was right. I had no reason to be nervous but being nervous anyway reminded me how much I liked Caspian. I was tiptoeing around the word, love, knowing damn well that was what I felt for him, but I knew that if I admitted it to myself, there was no going back.We
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 51. Obsessed
Caspian Bianchi~•~I had the strongest urge to call a truce with Dario Wellman just so Larissa could be safe.But then, I thought of how he killed my father, how he ambushed my mafia just for a power trip, how he let his men rape my sister, and how he’d hurt Larissa if I let him roam free.He didn’t deserve to live.A truce wouldn’t mean shit to him so I had to end it once and for all. I didn’t care about the members of his mafia. If they wanted to come after me just because I killed their boss who deserved to die, I didn’t mind. I would deal with whoever dared to put Larissa in danger. Anyone still working with him after what I put out deserved to die anyway.It was very hard convincing Dario to meet with me. He believed it was a trap and he was smart in believing so because I wouldn’t miss any opportunity I got to blow his brains out.I really shouldn’t be thinking of killing a man while I was on a date with my girl but it had to do with her safety.As though Larissa could hear my t
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 50. Never let go
Larissa Maynard ~•~I didn’t know what the fuck was happening. One second, I was leaving the supermarket. Next, two men were attempting to grab me. It was like they didn’t anticipate Aldo behind me or they underestimated him because before they could touch me, he had twisted both of their arms at the same time. Then again, it was their fault for stalling first, trying to talk to me before they attempted to take me.I was shaken up. I wanted to leave but Aldo didn’t want me to leave by myself. He also couldn’t leave the men there in the alley where anyone could walk in and see them, or worse, where they could run away. So he called Caspian and I crouched on the ground to wait.I was absolutely relieved when I heard him call my name and I immediately ran to his arms. “You’re safe.”“I know,” I murmured into his chest. I was always safe when he was around but that didn’t mean the fact that I’d almost gotten kidnapped didn’t scare me.“I promise that this is the last time you’ll face any
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 49. A trap
Caspian Bianchi~•~The fucker was lousy at his job.It took less than a day for Pedro to follow his tracks and trace his IP address to some abandoned building.I was supposed to take Larissa on a date today since she was tired yesterday, but I figured it was more important to take care of the man who was causing her troubles. I wanted her to live freely without the need for a bodyguard even if she was going to have one for the rest of her life.Pedro and I were going to check out the place, together with another of my men, Vincenzo. Antonio wanted to come with me but there was always the fact that it could be a trap and I didn’t want him to get involved in something messy when he just came back from his trip less than a week ago.“I’ll be going to the supermarket today,” Larissa informed me before we left the house, which was why I left Aldo with her. “I need to top up on some of my finished products.”When we arrived at the location the hacker led us to, we took a look at the house.
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 48. A date
Larissa Maynard~•~Despite Caspian’s wishes to make sure I went back home with him so he could tie me to his bed and never let me leave, my friends and I went back to Bridget’s house. That hadn’t been in the plan but they wanted to grill me about my relationship with Caspian.It was a long night as they didn’t sleep until they got out all the information they wanted from me. In return, I couldn’t sleep at all when I opened my purse to find a note from the stalker who had been quiet for weeks.‘You were having fun today. I was going to approach you but you were glued to Caspian all night. You looked hot by the way. I understand why Caspian took you to his office as soon as you arrived.’I let out a harsh breath when I saw the note. I didn’t know whether to feel embarrassed or scared. He was watching me the whole night but my clutch was always with me. The only time I left it was on the sink when I was inside one of the stalls. Had he entered the ladies’ room then to slip the note in?
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 47. Only mine
Larissa Maynard ~•~Caspian was like any other cold-blooded male who thought with his dick. I knew what I was aiming for when I wore this dress – I never usually dressed like this – and as I looked at him over my shoulder, seeing the pure lust in his eyes, I knew I’d won.“You can be so naughty sometimes,” Caspian muttered, tracing the curve of my ass through the dress.The moment Caspian dragged me out of there, I felt slick in between my legs. For some reason, his possessive behavior turned me on. “Why don’t you do something about it?”I’d expected him to let his finger travel up my legs but the bastard spanked me instead.“Fuck.” I winced, rubbing my legs together. “You’re an asshole. If you don’t want to fuck me, say so. I’ll gladly walk out and find someone else.”“No, the fuck you won’t.” Another growl escaped his mouth as he pulled my dress up to my waist with more aggression than necessary. “Fucking hell.” He muttered when he realized I wasn’t wearing any panties. His fingers
Temptation of Caspian Bianchi 46. Bend over
Caspian Bianchi~•~Larissa’s routine had only involved going to work and coming back to my house, which was why I didn’t oppose it when she said she was going out with Bridget.She wanted it to be a girl’s night but my stubborn ass forced myself into the equation. Antonio heard about it and said he wanted to follow and I didn’t stop him.Was I a bad adult by bringing an eighteen-year-old to a club? Probably. But there was also the fact that he’d drank all kinds of wines and beers there was in this life. He had a good alcoholic tolerance and he never went overboard so I was okay with it. I started drinking when I was sixteen so stopping him would just be me being a hypocrite. Since I was attending, they decided to invite more people.I was currently at one of my clubs, together with Antonio and Pedro and we were all waiting for the girls. Larissa told me she was going to get ready at Bridget’s house so I had Aldo go with her.He had already texted me that they were on their way but
