Eve's POV

Water cascaded down my skin, running through my fingers and then down my body. I closed my eyes, trying not to tremble or lose my mind at the feel of water on my skin.  

I could see it all again. Could feel that emptiness pulsing through me, driving me crazy. I could hear Tom's laughter as he dunked my head over and over in the bucket. As the water sloshed around my head, rushed down my throat and forced me to gargle on my spit.  

My eyes flashed open and I gasped, wrapping my hands around my neck trying to breathe easy. 

No. No please, a part of me begged as the memory played on and on in my head. I could feel his hands in my hair again, grabbing, pulling and spitting in my face. I could feel every slap, every blow, every kick to the stomach. 

I hated him.

    Madeline's POV "You're late," John sat in a booth, a glass of brandy or some other dour alcohol sloshing around it, sat on the table. He had a stern look on his face as if he were training a bunch of soldiers. The jackass probably felt like he could talk to me however he wanted because I had allowed him to be part of the plan. Dumbass. He had better have a valid reason for calling me out here. I was here running around, trying to make sure things worked out as we wanted it to. As I wanted it to. This was my dream anyways and John was just privileged to be a part of it. He had nothing to go to if one thought about it. He had nothing to do but join me anyway. If he hadn't joined me, what would he have done? Make a living? Without this deal, he had no hope of being set for life. Without me he was nothing. He had to

    Madeline's POV "That sounds like a great idea, John!" I told him, pulling away to see the smug look on his face. He leaned back into his seat and grabbed the glass of brandy. "Good right? No one loves a pity party more than rich folks I tell you," he said, raising the glass at me. "Especially the women," Oh he was not wrong. Isabella Stone could be the female dragon the business world knew her to be. She was crazy, fierce and had single handedly held back sharks from eating up her husband's Business. Smart woman. Adam's father had left them with almost nothing but a run down foundation and loans to pay. But there was the fame of the Stone Foundation and the authenticity. At least that was how some magazine had described it. Adam's father wasn't much of a good

  • The Billionaire's Submissive   An escape from reality

    Eve's POVI needed to escape. And this was Hawaii! It was the perfect place to escape from reality, if I chose to see it that way. This was a vacation. The point was to get away from bad memories. Dwelling on them, the good and bad ones, wasn't getting me anywhere.The view from the window was already marvelous, I wonder what it would feel like to be in the view itself.To be in the cool open air, to smell the sea, to hear the waves crashing against the shores, gently. I only got to see these things in movies. I might as well experience it all for myself."No more moping around then," I mumbled, launching to my feet. Tom had gone to have his fun. I could bet his entire house that he had found a woman to prey on tonight and while I was wasting away on the bed, losing my mind slowly, my husband got to have the time of his life with as many women as he wan

    Adam's POVShe was here.I had caught sight of her standing on the banister that led to the third floor just before I'd finished speaking to the security guard. I hadn't seen her since I settled them in their room and it had taken everything in me not to go to their suite just so I could see her.Not only was that plain foolish, it was terribly risky. What if Tom found out? What if I slipped up and he noticed something was going on between me and his wife?Just turning those thoughts over and over in my head made me feel awful. They had in fact been the reason why I couldn't stay in my suite and had gone for a walk round the resort.I was lusting after another man's wife. After a woman that could not be mine. Yet I desperately desired, desperately that I would have her."... Would that be fine sir?"

He was so close, I could feel his breath on my face, hot and harsh, demanding to be felt."Golden," it slipped past my lips and I closed my eyes in longing, eagerly waiting for his kisses. Eager for those firm lips to plunder mine, for this tongue to invade every corner. Every part of me.But the kisses never came. He slipped away from my grasp and for a minute I just stared into space like a fool."I'm sorry," He said, plummeting down from the high he had taken me to in the first place. "That should never have happened,"My head snapped up to look at him. The man who had responded eagerly to my touch, the man who had driven me dizzy with desire was gone. His face was shuttered off and he hid

Fuck me, she had the softest pair of lips I had ever known.And that mouth? That mouth, fuck. The taste. Her taste. I teased her tongue with mine. Each stroke like velvet, each touch like burning fire.Not enough. Fuck it was never enough.I wrapped another hand around her neck and pressed on it, tilting her head up so I could access that sweet tart mouth. And of course, my Eve was so fucking responsive, I was sure it would drive me mad eventually.Those sounds she made were otherworldly. Those mewls. Those soft quivers and purrs. The way she arched against me, begging for more drove me crazy. Ah fuck yes.I wanted her. I wanted her s

    Tom's POV"Bass!" Some drunkard yelled behind me and I laughed at how dumbass he sounded. What the hell was Bass?Oh who gave a fuck about that? Not me, that was certain. I was down to enjoy my time here in Hawaii and hell yes I could say I was already.I had started off with a drink at the open bar in the resort. The first few drinks were free because Stone was a rich son of a bitch and he had the money to give margaritas for free. I had to be rich like that in the next few years or I'd be a total screw up.And of course I would be. I planned to be. Once the deal with Adam starts pouring in profits and Barlow brings bugger deals once he got my gift to him, then it was only a matter of a few years. That was it.After a few drinks, I'd head out of resort with a hired car. All I had on was my Hawaiian shirt and shorts and my debit card beca

    Eve's POVAfter walking for what seemed like forever, even though I was pretty sure it was only five minutes, we'd reached Adam's suite. Anticipation fluttered in my lower belly like butterflies and I tried to calm my nerves.Total surrender, he had said.I had no idea what that meant. But I trusted Adam. He wouldn't hurt me. I knew that, somewhere deep down in my bones. I didn't think I had any reasons to be afraid of what he meant by total surrender. Instead I was thrilled. What would he do? What did he want?He swiped his key card against the door and it popped open. Without hesitation, he yanked me into his suite and slammed the door behind me, bolting it shut.For a long minute we stood by the door. I waited, waited for him to touch me.But none of that came. Instead he stepped away from me and walked deeper

Nuren said stubbornly."Ignore her," I mumbled to him, running my hands over his skin.He hummed in response. "It's a fucking Saturday. We ought to be allowed to sleep in,""Not like

I gripped the counter, hanging on, waiting, anticipating.Cold air whipped against my exposed skin as he yanked down the dress and tossed it aside. His breathing was ragged as he trailed kisses down my arched back, to my ass.He let out a hiss, smacking the cheeks, sending painful thrills up my spine and down to my pussy."Adam," I moaned, pushing against him. "Oh please, please."‘Ah fuck, I love it when you beg," he mumured huskily, giving me another smack. Heat pooled between my thighs and my juices spilled down my thighs. Another smack and soon he had me writhing and mewling begging him to give me what I wanted. What we both wanted."So fucking eage

I had to send the video of Tom molesting Eve to her and that seemed to change everything.That seemed to reveal the truth.They seemed fine now, happy.They had hugged and held each other for hours, weeping buckets while I stood there watching. It tore me to bits, seeing her cry. But she needed it. I knew that."You did good," Mother said, joining me on the balcony where I stood. "I'm sure you've made her very happy.""Thank you mother," I murmured while taking a sip from my brandy. "That was the goal.""Oh," my mother arched her brow in a manner that told me she had something else to say. "And the goal

I had spent the past few days in Adam's arms.But as much as I enjoyed his presence,I feared that it would all end. I tried to push away those thoughts, telling myself that I was just being paranoid.As I opened my eyes, I saw his face looming over me, a smile playing on his lips. It sent a shiver down my spine and a soft sigh slipped from my lips. Adam leaned in closer, his eyes darkening with desire. The air between us crackled with tension.“Hey,” I whispered.“He

With the way she had cried, you would think Adam was carting me off all the way to the moon. But I was sure she was only too happy for me.The drive was quiet. And yet it felt so... Peaceful. The days after the incident at the warehouse had felt like that. Slow and peaceful and it was good.In the meantime.His house... Scratch that, his mansion was huge!The gate creaked open as we approached, revealing a long driveway lined with blooming cherry blossom trees. The mansion loomed ahead, its grandeur taking my breath away. Adam guided the car to a stop in front of the massive oak doors, and I stepped out, feeling small against the backdrop of opulence.“I thought y

    Adam's POVFour days. They passed by in a blur. I couldn't remember much about what happened, but I could remember how I felt every single second.Afraid. Terrified. Devastated. Nothing had prepared me for what I had seen. Nothing had prepared me to lose Eve.When Tom had shot her, I was pretty sure I went mad. It had taken Micheal and the police to pry me off a bloodied Tom by the time I was done. The ambulance took its damned sweet time to arrive so while I called the pilot to the private jet, Micheal had checked her wound and helped do first aid. And I had held her in my arms on the flight home.Pale. She grew pale rapidly. Her pretty skin had lost its color until she looked so drained it terrified the shit out of me.I could feel the weight of her in my arms, her breath shallow and weak against my chest. Panic surged thr

    Author's POVWell duty called.Micheal Hamilton sped down the road that led outside New York city, a happy grin on his face. One would think he was on his way to attend a freaking birthday party with how excited he looked."Will you stop grinning like that?" Adam who sat in the passenger seat said with a concerned look. "It's fucking creepy man."Micheal chuckled and took a sharp turn at the same time, earning a glare from his best friend. It had been a while since they left Isabella Stone mansion and frankly he had expected Adam to rain down his questions.Instead, his best friend behaved as typical as anyone would expect Adam Stone to. He sat in the passenger seat quietly, occasionally glancing at him. If Micheal had to guess , he would say Adam was trying to connect the dots and figure out who or what he was exactly.

He had the damned cocky grin on his face as if something permanently amused him."Perhaps I do," I chuckled, slipping my hands in my pocket. "With that grin on your face, I'm not so sure I want you to meet her.""Oh please, I have to. I need to know the woman who makes you do the craziest of shit," Micheal crackled, walking ahead of me into my mother's house."Try not to say shit when you meet her,""Shit like what?" he asked innocently and I just knew he was going to try something crazy when he saw Eve.We stopped by Mom's study to say."Hello, boys," Mom greeted us with a warm smile.

"I'll signal the men."After a whole damned argument session with Barlow, he finally agreed to help. But what could possibly be much more valuable to Adam Stone? If we could get him to take back the charges and then say he had come up with the fake proof and lied that we were trafficking then everything would be solved.There was nothing the word of a billionaire could not accomplish.
