ProserpinaWe had lain in each other’s arms after all the torrid lovemaking of that night.The food had been heated and we had eaten slowly, feeding each other, till somehow, I ended up in my lover’s lap again.Cuddling into his hirsute chest, I murmured,‘Lucien Delano, I cannot live without you…’He said nothing for a long time and then said in a hoarse growl,‘Don’t leave me again, woman.’For answer, I pulled his head down and kissed him fiercely.I melted in his arms as he took possession of me once again.*Sometime in the wee hours of the morning, I came awake to a pleasurable sensation that had me moaning. Lucien was sucking on my clit, his large hands holding my legs apart firmly as I tried to thrash.In some bewilderment, I realised that he had tied my wrists with a silken tie to the bedpost and I was helpless as I writhed under his clever tongue, powerless to stop him, my legs spread wide open for his pleasure.And mine.Raising his head, he growled,“Stay still, woman. I n
ProserpinaI came awake in the early hours of the morning and put out my hand to reach for my husband. It was chill in the room, and I missed his warm, hard body.But Lucien was not beside me. The gray dawn filtered in through the blinds. I sat up slowly and looked around me. My short shift had ridden up during the night and my hair was a tangled mess, tendrils curling around my face.Looking towards the window, I saw him, standing still and oblivious to the fact that I was awake.Shaking my head sorrowfully, I rose slowly.A couple of years had lapsed since that terrible night when our lives had seemed to come to a standstill, but I knew that my lover would carry the scars with him forever, as we all did.I wept sometimes but Lucien held himself back, never letting anyone know how he was dealing with the betrayal of a man he had trusted with his life.The friend who had tried to kill him and sell me off into the sex trade.It was a betrayal that he had never got over, not till date.
ProserpinaWith a rumble in his chest, he came forward.‘Little one.’ He growled. I remained where I was, looking up at him, my love in my eyes.He pulled me to my feet and fisting my hair, jerked me around, moulding me to his body. I could feel his hardness against my back and I trembled, in longing and a strange kind of fear. He looked as though he was about to give way to his darkest desires.I tried to look at him, there were times when I felt he was trying to drive me away, when he would be vulgar on purpose, hurt me with his harsh use of my body deliberately. But I knew I loved him enough to take it, to wait for the storm to pass over.Now I let my body relax against him, slowly.“Yes.’ I whispered.’ Whatever you wish to do to me, My Master.’“Damn you,’ he growled and jerked me closer, a fist in my long brown hair, holding me still as he lowered his mouth to my neck, sucking and then sinking his teeth into me, hurting me. I whimpered, shuddering in want , pain and pleasure beco
SchwartzHe strode along the corridors of the newly constructed block at the Club. Business was peaking at the Club and it was late evening. Schwartz was frowning as he looked at the phone, trying to make sense of the messages that were landing on his phone. His men tailed him, Big Joe Barron and Leslie Lee. He trusted them. After what had happened with Shark, both Gaston and he were alert.Now he was scowling. Gaston had called, his raspy voice punctuated with anger and wariness.Dmitri was back.*** Sophia.I hurried along the heavily carpeted corridors of the gentlemen’s club called just that The Club.Like it was some iconic building, I thought rudely. Like it was The White House or Buckingham Palace.Egoistical buggers.Just another place where men came to vent their sleazy desires.Yes, the newly opened Fight Club in the lower level attracted a fair share of the revenue. Especially since one of the owners, a burly grey-haired man called Gaston St. Claire regularly participated
SophieI had no boyfriend as yet. When you are plump and shy, you are not really considered to be arm candy material, I guess. Unlike me, Sondra was considered hot. She had begun to go out with a number of boys, each one sleazier than the first.**My friend Beth who was walking with me had been the one who had looked embarrassed. She clutched my arm and pulled me away, adding in a fierce whisper,‘Soph, don’t let it get to you.”But something about their knowing looks and catty remarks rang true.These days, Sondra tended to return home late at night, her clothes bordered on the vulgar. She deliberately kept her blouse buttons open, her skirts rode up her thighs and she looked like a woman, not a girl who was still in her teens.The ugly remarks of the girls left me furious. When I pestered her, she finally admitted that her boyfriend had told her about it. Dragging Beth with me, I had gone to the old bicycle shed where I was told Sondra had been seen heading to.What I saw made me n
SophieThe doctors told me that she was sick, seriously so. She had a form of cancer that was in its last stages, progressing rapidly. No, they could not say for sure how much longer she would survive, forget the chances of recovery!I sank onto the hospital bench that afternoon, weeping as I knew that there was no one I could share my sadness with.With the knowledge that I needed to keep Mamma medicated, I began to work. Soon, I had left school and was working at the local diner. The money was not great, but it brought in enough for me to take care of my mother.***And a few months later, Sondra turned up. The look of weariness and hopelessness on her face frightened us but I was happy to see her back.She had a baby with her, a baby named Patrick.She had no idea who the father was. But she wanted to lead a straight life, she said; she wanted to stay off drugs.She wanted to be a good daughter, but most of all, a good mother, she said.***Mamma was happy. She grabbed my arm when
A few days beforeLucienThe Underground Fight Club was being revived. It had been Lucien’s idea and he had decided he would regularly take part in the fights. But reality struck hard. Once a week was definitely out and this was because of the huge protests from Proserpina. His woman hated the thought of beating up anyone, even for a game, a gamble, in the ring. She was more a Buddhist than anything else, he thought fondly, watching her now as she turned her large brown eyes to him, shock and disbelief on her pretty face.“No, Lucien!’ she cried in dismay, staring at him in horror when Schwartz had accidentally brought up the matter during dinner one night.‘’Please, tell me you are not going to fight anyone!’ The alarm in her voice, the note of desperation made him feel guilty.The Boss watched his wife, saw the look on her face and knew he should have prepared her for the news beforehand. But she was such a gentle soul, he had been loath to tell her. He wanted to protect her from t
LucienHe slipped between the sheets that night and pulled her body to his.“I am sleepy.," she spoke, her voice small and petulantHe slipped his hand over her soft hips and forced his fingers between her legs. Played with her clit. She tried to shrug him away and force her legs together, but he was stronger. And when he dipped his head to nibble on her earlobe, she sighed softly, despite herself.“Lucien!’ she snapped, but it was a breathless sound.He smiled to himself and nibbled at her ear, then sank his teeth into the sensitive point of her neck.“Stop it!’ she cried, trying to sound angry, but the laugh and the want were in her voice, deepening in degree.He turned her over roughly and kissed her, a long, possessive kiss. His hands were busy caressing and squeezing her breasts and nipples“Look, stop it now. I am trying to get some sleep, you...you street fighter, you!' she said, sitting up , trying to sound annoyed.But her full breasts spilled out of her shift, the nipples s
