Hollis opened the door and stood in the pouring rain. I scooted over to the driver’s side, catching a glimpse of Rocco's reflection as I adjusted the rearview mirror. He was terrified, so was I. Even though Hollis coached me through, the car kept jerking forward, and stalling. And everytime it comes to a jolting stop, Rocco's head would slam into the seat in front of him. After a lengthy while, I was able to make the car move more than a few inches at a time, and before long, we were coasting along the muddied road. The car did corner curves effortlessly. It was almost a refreshing experience for me. Even though I noticed Rocco's knuckles going white with the tight grip he had on the door handle. But Hollis on the other hand, looked on proudly, enjoying the ride. But soon, it all went very wrong. I came to a deceivingly deep puddle and got to a curve faster than I should. I turned the wheel, but nothing happened. I braked hard, the car swerved. Hollis looked ahead, a hand on the das
"I don't have an ex." Hollis replied. "What? That can't be true. You're saying you've never been in a relationship before?" He nodded. "That's exactly what I'm saying" "But you have women that satisfy your needs, yes?" I asked. A hint of amusement crossed his face. "That's correct," He said. "So you've had no emotional attachment to any of these women." "No," Came Hollis's plain reply. "That's... Unbelievably beasty." I gasped in shock. The sky chose that moment to explode and buckets of rain came pouring down on us. I hadn’t realized that Hollis and I had stopped in the middle of the road, and that was where we stood, glaring at each other, getting drenched. "Why?" I asked, still trying so hard to believe him. "I'm a busy man, Ugo. I've never had time to keep up with relationships and the stress that comes with it. I've never had to try to please or impress any woman for any reason whatsoever, until you." He replied. Ugo felt warmth creep underneath her skin. Al
"I'll tell you one day" He chuckled. "You still don't have to relax Hollis. There are men out there that want what you have." "You mean men that want you?" "What! Yuck, that's gross." I laughed excitedly. "I'm talking about your position, the things you've achieved." "You're part of my achievements." He winked. A warm spread of happiness rushed down my body. "Do people ever get to walk away from all of this?" I asked, my curiously taking the best part of me. Hollis started laughing. "I've witnessed two people get out. One of them was murdered on his way out of the country. The other one survived for seven months or thereabouts. But he ended up dead anyway." He replied casually and tapped my fingers gently. "There's no getting out, Ugo. My family is too powerful and well known. If I dare back down, I'll be dead in days, maybe months or years. It all depends on how long I c
Hollis chuckled lightly, slowly picking up his good mood. I was relieved. Thunder and lightning crashed, and we ran the rest of the way home. It felt incredible. Seeing him so free and at ease, engaging in a rain chase with me while we could get to a shade and send for a car to pick us up. The fog was blinding, so he had to shepherd our way. I was startled by the two soaked guards who appeared out of the fog as we neared the property line. They quickly receded when they saw Hollis. We made it back to the house, breathless, covered in mud, and soaking wet. Hollis removed his shoes. "Wait here," he ordered with renewed energy and ran off through the main house. He came back with a bath towel in his hand, helped me remove my footwear, draped the towel around my body and carried me up into the house. Once we got to our room, he turned on the room's heater and underground feet warmer. Something about experiencing luxury... An undergrou
I walked into a view of Hollis's perfect ass on display with no piece of clothing covering it. While I was still dumbfounded on the sight before me, he turned. A fucking perfection of a man! He offered me a full side view of his naked body. Our gaze caught and he turned away. Christ! I looked, not just at his ass, but every part of him, making me aware of the hollow space inside me, as I imagined the way he would fill it up perfectly. My gaze lowered, and my attention diverted to something else that was desperately demanding for it. His cock, hard, long and thick. I wasn’t really surprised by the throbbing I felt between my thighs right that moment. It was a normal, healthy response from the body of a woman looking at a man’s sexy, naked body. I heard my own breath catching in surprise, and stayed statue-still for a long moment. Hollis wasn't hiding what he was doing. He knew I would hear him from the other side of the room, he wanted to put up a show for me. I wouldn't have car
Hollis continued pumping his fingers in and out of me until my hand slid down and pressed his palm against my cleft, engaging my clit with his motions. His fingers got rougher and more demanding bringing me closer to my release. My walls tightened around him as he took me on a beautiful journey of promised sexual satisfaction. I moved my hips to meet his strokes, hoping for those little more push, that would send me falling into oblivion. "Do you want me inside of you?" He murmured to my hearing. I was gasping desperately for a release at this point. So I didn't even know what word to say. "Use your mouth, Ugo." I could only shake my head, and suddenly, he stopped the beautiful motion inside me. I groaned with frustration and pushed my hips to him. A subtle way to tell him not to stop. "Nope," he said, his fingers slipping out of me. "If you want to come, then you’re going to come with my cock inside you." He told me, shooting me a devilish smirk as his fingers slipped
Daisy laughed uncontrollably, “I wish you well Honey. You’ll be fine, you’ve got this” She said.“Except I don’t. “ I insisted. “Dude has got some good MD.”“What’s that?” Daisy asked, laughing uncontrollably. “Don’t tell me it’s one of those funny abbreviations for shitty words you don't want to say out loud.” She laughed even more.“Well damn, I have to give the word an abbreviation. I really don’t want to sound too plain. But in case you need to know, I’m talking about his ‘Monster Dick’ . He's so blessed down there, goddammit.”“Ugo, all I’m hearing you say right now is ‘I want to ride that dick but I’m too scared to try because I may not be able to let go once I get a feel.’ Is that it?”“Well yeah. Is it that obvious?” I asked.“To me, yes. But he obviously doesn't know. So maybe you'll need to keep it that way. Like I suggested earlier, pleasure yourself if you have to. Just don’t get sexually frustrated. Alright?” Daisy asked."Alright.” I nodded.We spoke for a few more minut
Castello was standing over the electric cooker, vehemently stirring foodstuff in a large frying pan while engaging in a seemingly interesting gist with Maxine, who was dutifully cutting vegetables. Hollis led me to the dining table beside the kitchen counter where scented candles and a table set for four waited for us.“Wait,” I said, adjusting onto the seat Hollis pulled out for me. “Where were all of you, before now? I didn’t see any of you when I entered the living room earlier.” I queried.“In one of the rooms downstairs,” Hollis replied, taking his seat at the head of the table.“Where’s Alessia?”“In her quarters. I’m at your service if you need anything.” He gave me a wink. Yes, he did. I saw it.Maxine and Castello soon approached the dining table with big bowls of fajitas, noodles, vegetables, plenty of meat and cupcakes! I smiled when I saw it and I had no doubt Hollis noticed my happiness as well.The meal wa
We drove down a clear road, surrounded by mountains and hills, and then through cave-like closings. "Where are you taking me?" I asked, trying to keep the panic out of my voice. "I’m taking you home, Emmah Landon," Gideon said, and he looked at me with that goddamn devastating crooked grin. "It's Emmah Huxley. We're divorced." I reminded him. "Yet, you're wearing a ring that would stop other men from coming close." He winked at me, obviously pleased with himself. I ignored him. But why do I have a ring on my goddamn finger? Let's see... I'm yet to get over Gideon... Of course not. I just didn't want to be disturbed by any man, relationship-wise. And... Well, and nothing. "This is not the road to my home," I said, my fingers nervously circling around my ring finger. I saw him flick his eyes over to me, and there was something almost predatory in that lazy, easy smile. "It is now," he said. I tried not to look at the muscles in his arms or how his legs were spread carelessly
He hurled me over his shoulder and started toward the side of the gas station where a black car was readily in wait. I screamed, yelled, scratched his back, yet nothing. Well, I might as well be hitting a brick wall. The area was deserted, there was no one to help, and my screams weren't getting me anywhere. There was nothing hurried about his steps; he took his time, and when we got to the car, he threw me in the back seat and filed in behind me. "Drive." He said, and that was it, his driver or whoever that robotic-looking man was, started the car. "How... What are you doing here?" I asked him, frantic. "How did you know where I was?" He didn’t answer right away, instead, he leaned back in his seat and said, "I've been on your tail for the longest time. There is this thing called a tracker. Since you've refused to see or hear me out, I had to be creative." I knew that must be the situation, but it still took my breath away. "You're kidnapping me, why?" I asked breathlessly

But, here we go... The following book contains characters that might sound unreasonable, offensive, top-of-the-line, possessive and many more. If you consider an unapologetic, irredeemable obsessively-in-love alpha male offensive and unacceptable, you can
I swallowed, somehow having a faint idea of where all of this was going. A slight laugh escaped my husband's lips, and those damn twinkling eyes of his took me in again, like he'd just seen me and he finds me so endearing, and that look alone made my heart gallop. He placed a kiss on my shoulder. Pleasure shot through me and I inhaled sharply in response. Without warning, he threw me down on our bed. I gasped, my heart soaring when he dropped me, then bottoming out when my bare back hit the cool sheets. Hollis grabbed my bodice, and pushed it up, exposing my ass to his view. I shifted my weight back on the bed, intending to work my way closer to the middle, but before I could, he grabbed my bare legs and dragged me closer to the edge of the bed. On instinct, I grabbed the mattress to prevent myself from falling. "Hollis you..." Before I could finish my sentence, his face was between my thighs. My tummy turned over. "Oh..." When he put his mouth in my cunt, I almost
Hollis yanked off my bra and cupped my exposed skin, teasing over my nipples. My body was a complete inferno even before his lips were moving from mine.I wanted him inside of me and the release as much as I wanted my next breath. But not quite as much as I wanted to show him how much I love him and how happy he makes me.So before he could continue his kisses down my chest and toward my breasts, I pulled back, meeting his gaze, making him watch as I went down on my knees in front of him.My hands landed on his knees and slid forward up his thighs. I watched as an expression of surprise and pleasure crossed his gorgeous face.Then I reached for his fly and pulled out his thick, straining cock, pushing it into my open mouth. "Fuck, baby," he groaned, pushing his cock at the base and tracing my lower lip with his thumb. Then he pulled it out and a gush of precum sipped out. "Lick it," he demanded, holding it and my tongue moved out to trace over his head, tasting him, wetting him mor
"I told you, Baby," Hollis said as we made our way to the front door after our goodbyes. "You didn’t need to be nervous." "I’m worried about my father," I admitted, linking my arm through his own."Why?" He asked, seeming genuinely interested as Nero pulled up with our car, and Hollis pushed me in before sliding in beside me. "He seems withdrawn," I told him, shrugging. "And that isn’t how my father is.""Things have taken a sudden turn and he still blames himself for all of this. He thinks he's the one that put you with me," Hollis said, shrugging."He just doesn't know that it's destiny. One way or the other, we were bound to be together. Don't worry, next time, it will be better." He said. "By next time, do you mean my Mom's next birthday?" I asked, my heart sinking a little at the idea. "I meant the next family function," he replied, shrugging. "I believe there are going to be many of them.""You’re going to let me go?" I asked."Let
"Your wife?" My father came closer. "I didn't stutter. You heard me. Yes, my wife," Hollis said in a firm voice, erasing the distance between them. "Hollis..." I called, pressing a hand into his stomach. Sensing the plea in my face or my voice, his jaw loosened. "I'll go get you a glass of juice." He offered. "I'll like that," I said, nodding, giving him my silent gratitude. "I’ll be right back," he replied, squeezing me gently on the hip, before walking off. "I hoped you’d be happy to see me," I said to my father as soon as Hollis left, but I noticed that his gaze followed Hollis until he heard me speak. I didn't try to hide the vulnerability in my voice. I was upset. And I wasn’t accustomed to hiding that around my family. "Oh, my baby." My father called, his anger falling and getting replaced almost immediately with sadness. "Of course, I’m happy to see you," he started reaching for me. "Are you okay?" He asked, holding me tight
THREE MONTHS LATER**UGOGetting out of the the Garden after months of being kept in and guarded twenty-four-seven was reason enough to put some extra care into my appearance. It's been months since I left the confines of this place. There had been dark days throughout those couple of months. Hollis wasn't always around. I knew they were trying to set things straight.But I had no idea how they were going about it, until my husband came home to me with a bullet wound. My heart almost ripped through my chest. But, he insisted he was okay. And that was the last time he ever left me home alone. "The deed has been done, everything has been taken care of." Maxine had said to me on one of his visits.I still miss Castello, terribly, painfully. His memories remained embedded in my heart.Taking a look at myself in the mirror, I smiled. We were going to see my parents, it was my mother's birthday.Of course, I wanted to look nice, not just b
I was having one of those vivid dreams where I killed Hollis again. Over the time I've been at the Garden, I've had various versions of this dream. But they always end with Hollis's death. At times I pierce his heart with a dagger. Other times, it ranges from a gunshot to strangling him in his sleep. The dreams were always ending with my betrayal. My evil to him and the hurt I caused him. As usual, I woke up sobbing. Indeed there was no peace for me. Then I perceived it, his cologne, the one I checked out in his cabinet the first day I came to the Garden. A high-pitched cry escaped my lips. I'm now hallucinating and imagining the smell of fragrances, my situation was getting worse by the day and I'm not even helping matters. But, what can I do? Absolutely nothing. "Baby." I heard his voice and a sharp pain ricocheted through my heart. But when I turned around to the direction of the voice, in the dim lighting of the room, I saw a figure resembling that of Hollis standing
