"C'mon, let go". He mumbled.
They had been arguing for hours and now he was just on the thin ice of going crazy? How did she do that? He struggled to escape this but he couldn't. She had not even given him a chance to decline, nor catch his breath.
The possessive woman didn't seem like she was going to break the kiss any time soon. Her fingers dug deep into his back. He felt his flesh pulling even when there was a fabric covering his body.
Did he want to scream in pain? In pleasure? In anger? He didn't have a clue. But his mouth was taken and controlled by her, his lips were no longer his.
"Hmhn".
Did I just moan? Why?
fuck!
He hated what she did to him. He was defenseless, helpless, drowning in desire, for crying out loud he was fucking losing control.
She held him like she knew every single part of him, she claimed him as if he was a priceless trophy, she took as if she needed his breath to live. She drove him mad and paralyzed him at the same time.
He tried to keep it in, he tried to find calmness, but even if he found one now, it was useless. He couldn't use it now. It was too late.
She had done it, she had pulled the last knot of sanity he had left, she had succeeded in killing him, she had drowned him in desire. He was lost in her breath, he was no were to be found in her damn breath. He searched for his hands only to find out they were already tied around her waist. It was madness. She was madness. She was his control and he knew it.
She was all he wanted, all he dreamed of. She was all he thought of, all he desired. Kyla o' Roarke is the woman for him.
His hands began to move upward as they gripped the flesh that enticed him. He began to rain soft kisses up and down her neck, sucking and teasing the sensitive angles, causing her to moan in delight. The sound that came from her throat was the kickstart of the electrocution in his abdomen. He was hard.
His thumb began to stroke her nipples as he took his lips where his fingers grazed.
"Nghn..." She shuddered, letting out a huffing sound, clinging to him more and more.
And just as he was about to take her there,
"Buzzzz! Buzzzz!".
The sound of his phone interrupted their heavy make-out session.
Well, that did it!
The damned phone brought back his control. He cursed under his breath.
Nolan took the phone from the pocket of his pants as he shot her that apologetic look. She hated when he gave that look. It meant that something had interrupted their moment.
"I've got to go". His arms were still on her as he spoke. "You're going to think about what I just told you, right?" Nolan asked.
picked up his jacket and printed his lips on hers.
He drew her close when she said nothing as his face was directly above hers. "I'm not going until you assure me, miss o'roarke," Grey eyes held onto Hazel eyes.
She smiled.
"Okay". Kyla managed as she arranged his hair.
He kissed her again, but deeper this time. "I love you". He said as his mouth parted hers.
"I love you". She responded as his hands left her waist. She watched him walk away. He turned to look at her again as he finally left.
She lay down on her bed nonchalantly as she sipped in the moment they just had. He is her greatest treasure and she knows she cannot live without him.
They had been together for two years and she had fallen deeply in love with him. So deep that she couldn't even turn down his request. She is Kyla freaking o'roarke for crying out loud.
She owns the largest real estate in the entire country. She had turned down so many suitors and filthy rich heirs but there was something about him she couldn't quite put her fingers on.
He was different, calm, fucking hot, and so freaking good in bed, she could've sworn that he was a pornstar the first time they made love. He loves her so much that he would die for her. He is everything she wants in a man but what he had requested earlier got her tensed.
She thought of how grim he looked when he stared directly into her eyes and said those words. "Would you like to spend this Christmas with my family?"
It killed her because she wasn't a family person.
She didn't know how to act to please people, especially the elderly. He fucking asked her to meet his family. Goddamn, she had longed for this day to come but why was she tensed all of a sudden?
'He gave her time to think about it, so she wasn't going to make any hasty decision. She will think about it calmly and that is exactly what she is going to do in a warm bath because it is damn freezing outside. She thought.
PRESENTLY.
He punched the punching bag mercilessly, ruthlessly, and aggressively. It was endless. He was drowned in his thoughts as he pounced tirelessly on the bag. Sweat drenched down his body, down to his chest, and then to his lower abdomen. Tyler watched him tirelessly as he drained himself in pain.
TYLER ATKINS - Nolan Armstrong's personal Buttler.
It had been five years since the breathtaking incident occurred. He had blamed himself over and over for it. For not being there, for making her do what she didn't want to. The incident sucked the life from his master and it had not stopped draining every bit and ounce of hope from him since it happened.
The feared man finally stopped. He took a minute to catch his breath as he pulled his hands from the boxing gloves and walked to Tyler, exchanging the gloves with the water the man held.

He drank a gulp of the water as he gave the bottle back to Tyler. Maids rushed from corners of the room where they stood to give him towels that were neatly folded. He took a towel from one of the maids as he wiped his face, walking away with Tyler directly behind him."We go back home today, got it?" He said to the man that stood directly in front of him. The tall man had also been watching him pound the stupid out of the punching bag just a couple of minutes ago."Yes sir". Scorpion replied.SCORPION - Real name; Scott Newton, Nolan Armstrong's right-hand man ( personal assistant).He was in his casual clothing. Black pants, a black T-shirt and a black leather jacket. The dark shades he wore gave that intimidating aura just as he is.Intimidating.They started walking towards the exit door of the gym."You're supposed to be in New Orleans in thirty minutes". Scorpion blurted staring at his Silver-lining Rolex, still walking beside Nolan."Copy". That was all his boss said.They stopp
The Dark Prince 3. Freak 2
PRESENTLY..They got to the airport and Nolan stepped out from the black Prada accompanied by Scorpion that stood beside him. He did not even waste a single second as he started towards the customized private jet made only for him.The armed trails of convoys only came out to ensure his safety- I mean he is one of the wealthiest men on the planet and Royalty. They watched him go up the stairs into the jet with his right-hand man walking directly behind him."We take off in 5 minutes". The pilot blurted as he went back into the flight deck. Nolan said nothing to him. He didn't even look at him for his thoughts were wrapped around her. As minutes went by, the jet was ready to take off. It started moving slowly, then the pace increased and before they knew it, they were above the ground.He watched how things began to shrink as they went higher into the clouds and her thoughts clouded him all over again. He thought of how they traveled around the world just like this, how she would lay o
The Dark Prince 4. Who are you?
PRESENTLY.Carolyn opened her eyes to a shiny light. No, it was a chandelier. Confused about why it was there, she didn't even notice her environment. She remembered the last thing that happened. She was trying to save that bunny and didn't see the car. She also remembered the handsome man that came to her aid when she was on the verge of passing out. She had never seen someone so handsome. She remembered his blonde hair, his brown eyes, and his light-red lips, he was like an angel.Carolyn was still on the bed in her thoughts when a slight thud on the door called her back. He walked in."You're awake". His deep voice filled the room.When they got to the house she was still unconscious. She managed a smile when she saw the handsome stranger man she had just been thinking of."Hi". Nothing else came to her mind. Hi? Who says that? How can I be so stupid?She cracked him hard but he didn't show any emotions at all."Who are you?" She tried to cover up the humiliation but it was alre
The Dark Prince 5. Bug
PRESENTLY.scorpion walked down the stairs with a smile on his face. Who would have thought a woman would make his morning? He had recently been buried in the thoughts of making sure he sends her away because he couldn't stand the constant glare Nolan had been giving him. He had stayed with him long enough to know what those stares mean.He is obviously marking his next prey.It is not the best idea to get noticed by Nolan for pissing him off, it could be deadly. Nolan is a heartless monster. He couldn't care less about how you feel, it's not his problem and he would never be bothered by your pain. He derives pleasure from torture.He walked into the large dining room and Nolan wasn't there. The maids arranged different dishes on the table and nobody made mistakes. They were all terrified for they knew that the heartless man was not in one of his best moods. He had not been out since the previous day and no one was allowed in his room for they knew the outcome of it.His mood swing wa
The Dark Prince 6. Hormones.
She walked down the stairs elegantly as she arranged the clothes she wore. She looked around the house and every damn thing gave her goosebumps. She had never seen a place this large and beautiful. Everything in the house literally costs a fortune and she could tell just by looking at it.Fuck! He's wealthy.She was beginning to feel tense. He is not a common man, no normal person would have this exquisite taste. She stepped down from the last stair as the maids gestured her to one of the sits at the large dining table, which consists of 18 chairs. She felt lost in the room.She looked at the table and her jaw dropped open. She had never seen anything like it. Every single dish you could ever ask for breakfast was on the table. She turned her head left to right when the maids served her. She was speechless. She had never been served before so, it felt awkward. She just watched them.She wondered where Scott was. He told her to come downstairs for breakfast. She looked at one of the ma
The Dark Prince 7. The Boss
The look on his face was what she couldn't seem to understand. Earlier he looked fine and all of a sudden he looks like he's just seen a ghost.Stay out of this Caro, it's none of your business.The more she stared at him, the more her control slipped. She tried to stuff her mouth with food but she felt like she was going to burst.Fuck!"Are you okay?" Her hormones failed her again and it didn't seem like it was going to stop anytime soon. It is going to go on and on until it messes things up for her. It is in control now and there is no way it won't embarrass her before it stops."You look like you have seen a ghost". She laughed nervously as his brows rose to her words.Fuck!It's not stopping."And that's just ridiculous because there are no ghosts here, am I right?" She snorted as she laughed hard.There, it has finally succeeded.It has embarrassed her.He only looked at her. If that was a joke, it had to be a terrible joke because it wasn't funny at all.She really doesn't know
The Dark Prince 8. The Boss 2
She watched the lady walk up to her as her eyes stayed fixed on her. Long black hair, ocean blue eyes, long chin, full pink lips. Her white blouse was transparent, exposing her underwear, and the white pants she wore gave a full definition of her hips and her long legs. She was indeed elegant. She looked like she owned all the money in the world.Her eyes never left her face. She was lost in a trance and didn't even know that she was still looking at the lady. There was no fear in her eyes. She did not even know where that confidence came from. She just looked in admiration. When will she ever become this pretty? How are people blessed with this kind of beauty? Do these kinds of people not have any flaws? How is it even possible?She is so perfect!Carolyn diverted her gaze when Scorpion walked in. He looked surprised as he called her name."Sasha?" She turned around only to see the tall figure in front of her as she ran into his arms."Fucking hell Scott, I fucking missed you". He la
The Dark Prince 9. Nolan's Eyes.
The room was dead silent and cold. His fingers scrolled lightly on the laptop as he sat relaxed. His eyes were fixed on what he did and he looked grim. The noise that came from his tummy diverted his focus from the screen but he continued with what he did. There was a thud on the door. Someone knocked. He looked up, his attention was now on the door. There was no expression on his face, he wasn't in a good mood.Scorpion walked in.His eyes were on him. He hesitated first before he walked in, and after having summoned a lot of courage, he stood in front of Nolan and started."I know you're still mad at me ... but there's someone here to see you"."I do not intend to see anyone, now please tell me the bug is gone". His eyes were dim. He didn't seem like he wanted to have this conversation."Um, are you sure you don't want to see this person?" Nolan was furious. He didn't look like he was in the mood for jokes. Just as he was about to explode on Scorpion, Sasha walked in."Nolan Armstro

His scent.It filled everywhereShe was too deeply asleep, too drowned in his scent, too tired to open her eyes, but when she managed to, she caught a blurry glimpse of his back and dosed back off.This was the first time in her entire life she had felt at ease, and peaceful, this was the first time in a long while she had felt as though she belonged somewhere... as though she was home.Intense black eyes.Those eyes were unable to leave her thoughts ever since she set eyes on them. When they stared at her, it was as though they stared directly into her soul. And when he aired out his deep voice in question, it was as though he spoke into her soul.Carolyn...He had called her name with that voice and she had turned into jelly blushing solely like a fool, and now, he was in her dreams, looking as hot as ever in those black outfits.He really is a prince.Do all princes look this good? She hadn't been the type to get flustered by good looks and a 'sexy as hell' strong build because sh
The Dark Prince 39. Sleeping Together.
"Are you up for it, Carolyn?"His eyes never diverted from her as he questioned her; this was the first time she did not have an answer to a question, this was the first time she was clueless about something.All she could do was stare at him while the buzzing sound in her head continued to play as she was at loss for words.Rule by his side? What does that mean?"I-I-I..." Stuttering while trying hard to breathe, he cut her off."I know you are not up for it, I also know that resculpting an already carved vase requires a lot of heat and professionalism, which is why I am going to give you a chance." with dark eyes, he mouthed and she shivered. " I will resculpt you, Carolyn."She lifted her eyes to his, staring intently. It was then she saw something flickered in his eyes, she had only just met him twice and had been up close to him only once— this was going to be the second time she had been privileged to be near him but in this short period, she had never seen this look he had in
The Dark Prince 38. Trial
"Your warm bath is ready, My Lady," Vanessa announced to Caro as she bowed slightly and exited the room. She didn't even look back or say any more than she did before she left, leaving Carolyn confused.Why did she leave like that?Did I do something wrong?She pouted swiftly before jolting up from the bed and taking wary steps with hesitation towards the large room they said was the bathroom. Her eyes grew wider with every passing second, making her gasp her lungs out as her jaws accompanied the surprise on her face.With uneasy breaths, she gulped and took a step in, carefully stepping on the glass-like floor not daring to breathe as she did so. And as her eyes surveyed the entire room, she couldn't help but tear up. Never in her life did she ever imagine that a day like this would come when she would dwell in the same place as a king or get the chance to stand in a place he once stood.She blushed at her thoughts immediately and blinked back the tears that threatened to fall out.

The Dark Prince 37. Carolyn's Fate 2
The only sound coming from the enormous room was of knives and forks. The Royal dining room was silent as all ate cautiously in the presence of His Imperial Grace. This was the first time he was dining with them since his return and no one wanted to irritate him. Well, no one except Lady Serenity."Carolyn won't be joining us?" Serenity's voice aired in the silence as she wiped her mouth with her napkin. She traced her eyes to Sasha and then to the queen trying to stir up something to talk about with a naughty grin.She knows how well to start up a flame and cultivate it into hellfire with just the tip of her tongue. With Nolan present, now could be a good time to confirm her suspicions."I'm sure she will join us when she is fully recovered," Sasha answered her question with a wine placed on her lips afterward; at least she volunteered to break the awkwardness."Hmm, it's a bit unfortunate that her first day in the Royal household was welcomed with a tragedy, I wonder what the future
The Dark Prince 36. Confidante
His eyes remained fixed on the document he signed as more piled up waiting for him. All his five years away only added more workload on his plates and different unmatched registers that were authorized illicitly with the Royal seal by members of the boards. He spent his entire morning hours looking into those files and rounded up everything by noon.During those hours nobody dared interrupted him. His study was completely out of access, likewise the entire hallway. Scorpion on the other hand had been out for hours, carrying out the orders of his Imperial Grace. He ensured that he went into the least detail about Carolyn and suddenly grew interested in the mission when he found out intriguing things about the weird woman. He was rather fascinated and couldn't wait to return to Nolan with Every detail...The knock on the door had Carolyn jolting from the position in which she sat. She had stuffed herself and was still trying to catch her breath when Sasha came in with a smile on her
The Dark Prince 35. Carolyn's fate 1
Serenity sat on the table very calmly. She was present, but her focus was on something else. Sasha on the other hand sipped her tea calmly. She wasn't being her usual chatty self after the incident with Carolyn earlier. The fact that Nolan was so affected by it had her wondering about the kind of feelings he had for her and when it all started.She had never seen him like that before and had never seen him care for anyone the way he did Carolyn. Somehow she is the person that had managed to pull him out of his darkest days.But that wasn't what got her so quiet. Why did he suddenly order for Scott in that manner? What is going on and why does she always have this feeling that Scott is being secretive toward her? Maybe she is overthinking things or maybe it's just normal considering the number of years they were apart but still, he acts differently from before.Her hands were on her teaspoon as she continued to stir the air instead of the tea in the cup. Unaware of her actions, the tea
The Dark Prince 34. The Enemies Within.
The golden doors fled open revealing the Ruler of the East. He strolled into his study with a frown on his face and walked straight to the large seat behind the table. The woman he was with a couple of minutes ago had him questioning so many things he wasn't sure of. Ever since Kyla, no woman had been able to go close to him. He had a trauma of it and never lets anyone close, but there was something different about her. She pissed him to the point where he didn't even know when he touched her. He touched her and nothing happened to him.He had gone through so many therapies just for this for four years and yet, this woman comes and proves everything wrong. This scared him and angered him all at once. He shouldn't be feeling this way, he shouldn't be worried, he should be happy instead, but something was not right. He needed to know who she was and why she doesn't affect him."Clayton," he called the Royal guard by the corner and he stepped forward. "Yes, your grace"."Get me, Scott"
The Dark Prince 33. Ocean Blue.
His deep voice called from behind, making Kathryn turn her head to look at him. A slight smile formed on her lips as she nodded. "I'll leave you now, dear, your maidens would send breakfast over". Kathryn directed at Caro with a warm smile and stood up softly and began moving in the direction of the doors. She suddenly stopped in front of him, with a warm smile." Take good care of her". She mouthed and patted his shoulders gently before she started to move again. Her maids rushed behind her until the doors were closed shut.The room was now deserted leaving just the heartless ruler and the naive girl. His steps toward the bed were not rushed, they were calm and prideful. And the aura he possessed at that moment was similar to a burning furnace. He was already roasting her with his direct stares.Who will save her from this?Caro's eyes flew open with every step he took as she clenched even harder to the sheets. The color of her skin was the same as a cherry. He approached the bed but
