MAEVE HAWTHORN.What should I call this feeling? I really want to put a name on it but the more I think about what to call what I’m feeling deep inside me, the harder it is to put a label on it.Staring into the pair of blue eyes looking down at me, my body tingles and I could feel burns on each part of my skin, each part that Enzo had touched and kissed.I ache for him, I want him even more and right now even as he refuses me, I can’t help but feel even more attracted to him, my heart thumped loudly and my head pounded.Whatever this is, whatever this feeling is, no matter the amount of hatred I have for this man on top of me right now, I don’t ever want that feeling to stop.“You care what I think about you?” I managed to ask as I stared into his sparkly green eyes and I saw them glisten as his lips curled as though at the edge of laughter.“I care a lot what you think about me, Maeve Hawthorn.” He added and I felt cold chills running down my spine.He was doing it again, calling my
ENZO DE-LUCA.Resting against her door, I ran my fingers through my hair and I couldn’t help the frustrated groan that came out of my mouth.Why didn’t I do as she says? She wanted me just as much as I wanted her but why did I do nothing?I’ve waited more than five years just for this moment, for when she’d be vulnerable in my arms because the last time we met, I was the vulnerable one and I couldn’t bring myself to fuck her because I was worried she would think I’m a jerk.I wanted her to think of me as a different kind of man, I want to clear every misconception she might have about me even if most of them are true.I can’t believe I want to change for this woman.“Enzo De-Luca, what is going on with you?” I asked myself as I made my way down the hallway and to my room absentmindedly.My balls were starting to ache and my bulge was so visible that walking to my room like that felt embarrassing.Hurriedly, I bolted to my room and locked the door behind me as I hit my head on the door
ENZO DE-LUCA.My phone chimed as soon as I got out of my building and with a ferocity like never before, I stepped on the gas, accelerating with my heart racing as I hurried to the address Yvette had sent to me.I should’ve asked my men to come with me but I was so worried to say a word to anyone and right now, I can feel the fear of losing my friends creeping in as I drove.Nothing in this world, no amount of danger in this world scared me as much as having Yvette and Levi in danger, they’ve been the only ones for me.They literally went out of their way to help me get out of so many traumatic events, they are the reason I’m strong enough to stare at so much blood without passing out or thinking about everything I went through and right now they’re in danger.“DROP WHATEVER IT IS YOU’RE DOING AND MEET ME AT THE ADDRESS I SENT, COME PREPARED.” I ordered into the phone, my hands shaking as I sped up even more.I’d tried calling Yvette back but despite how much her phone was ringing I g
MAEVE HAWTHORN.I really can’t sleep!Tossing and turning on the bed, all of my attempts to fall asleep proved to be nothing but futile as I kept changing positions and although the room was conducive, just the right temperature, I still couldn’t bring myself to fall asleep.The maids had brought me my dinner and as they did earlier in the morning, locked me back in my room, leaving me alone with my thoughts.Frustrated, I laid with my back down on the bed as I stared at the ceiling, counting sheeps but even at that, it felt as though sleep was doing everything in its power to avoid me.Covering my face with my palm, I tried to shake off the image building up in my head and when I couldn’t control it anymore, I jumped out of bed.“Maybe a shower will help me relax.” I said to myself as I pulled off the nightgown I’d worn earlier on before making my way to the bathroom.“Shit!” I winced when the cold water from the shower touched my skin and I wanted to run out of the bathroom but soon
MAEVE HAWTHORN.His eyes were hooded like those of a hawk and they darkened dangerously as they sought mine. I could feel my throat getting dry and I knew that I was supposed to look away before I get sucked into whatever this is but I didn’t want to stop looking into those green eyes.They were perfect and I was more than enthralled by what I saw glistening in them despite the darkness. They looked as though they were trying to send a private message and maybe I didn’t get it but the entirety of my being got it perfectly clear.I shuddered, swallowing the lump that had formed in my throat as I managed to look away from his eyes even though I could still feel them boring into me.My palm suddenly got sweaty as my heart raced and my eyes landed on his slightly parted lips. Looking away from them, my eyes travelled further down, exploring his upper body.The parts I’d stitched, the parts I’d covered up and I felt tears welling up in my eyes, dancing on my eyelids and no matter how hard
ENZO DE-LUCAI could tell that she was staring at me because I could feel her intense gaze boring holes at my back. Plus, I could hear when she muttered to herself, practically begging me to turn around.“Turn around. Turn around.” She sounded desperate and I knew for sure that if I didn’t fulfil her wish I was going to hate myself and so without hesitation or a second thought, I turned around.Her cheeks flushed immediately, her mouth dropped open, she stood glued to that same spot as her eyes raked around my body before going further down.Surprise or shock immediately took all the blood from her face and she looked as though she could pass out anytime soon. “Just tell me how much you want it and I might just give it to you.” My voice jolted her out of her haze and she snapped her mouth shut immediately as her eyes came back up to look at me.She was obviously shocked by my offer, her body still looked stiffened and I watched as her throat bobbed when she swallowed, seriously consi
MAEVE HAWTHORN.What are you doing, Maeve, what the fuck were you thinking?The question ran around in my mind and I felt as though there was a loosened bolt in my head as I ran as fast as my legs could carry me without even caring if there was anyone in the hallway that could see me naked.My heart raced and my pulse pounded as my breathing paced, finally getting to my room, I slammed the door shut and pressed my back against the door as I covered my ears with my hands.Everything else was silent but I could hear my blood rushing, my pussy pulsating and I felt the juice trickle down my inner thigh, causing a frustrated groan to escape my lips.I’d told myself multiple times that I’m not going to be affected by him but seeing him naked had made me throw all of that out the window in just a matter of seconds.Sliding down the door with my ears covered, I sat on the ground for a while as I waited to regulate my breathing but the more I thought about what had almost transpired between En
MAEVE HAWTHORN.He looked totally different from the Enzo I saw two weeks ago, his usual long hair had been cut short but it still gleamed in the lights.His full black hair seemed ruffled and I didn’t need to ask why as I could see his fingers buried deep in it.What the hell happened to him?His well groomed appearance was out of place with the long sleeved shirt that he had on, his massive shoulders filled the black shirt that left no room for his tattoos to be visible.His long legs in the formal suit trousers that he had on elicited a whimper out of me, his stance emphasized the force of his hips and he had an air of self confidence.His powerful well-muscled body moved with easy grace and as he walked past me, I was hit with the scent of sandalwood that made me melt inside.“What’s up?” I heard Levi ask him but couldn’t hear Enzo’s voice and as if my legs had a mind of their own, I was forced to turn to take more of him in.He had ignored me and not coughed up a word as he walke
ENZO DE-LUCA.“Wasn’t that too harsh? You could’ve at least taken things a little bit—” “Shut up or I’m really going to put a pillow over your face and smother you to death.” I cut Levi shut as I leaned back on the chair with my palm over my eyes.What have I done? Really, what have I done?This isn’t right, I want to protect her but humiliating her like that and shooting her down when she’s done nothing but care about me is just straight up cruel.“Ahh,” I sighed, wincing due to the pain that coursed through me, my head was aching really badly and my eyes were almost closed.I couldn’t even see her properly when she’d come in but I could tell that she looked as beautiful as ever.The fear, worry and relief in her eyes when she saw me made me wither inside because it’s the first time someone, a woman, had cared enough to look at me like that.And instead of holding onto her like I wanted to, instead of taking a very strong whiff of her strawberry-like scent and recharging in her arms
MAEVE HAWTHORN.His gaze lifted as he looked right at me and I gasped, my phone dropping from my hand when I saw the total mess his face was.If I hadn’t seen him badly injured before I probably wouldn’t have been able to recognize him but even with the knowledge of how injured he is, I couldn’t believe Enzo De-Luca could be badly injured.Covering my mouth with my palm, I took a step towards him but a violent, remotely loud growl caused me to stop in my tracks.I felt cold chills run down my spine as I stood, impaled to a spot. It was almost as though he didn't want me in the same room with him anymore.Like he doesn’t want me to come closer to him and now that I think about it, he isn’t looking at me even though he looked like he was staring right at me, I could tell that he wasn’t looking at me.“Y— You— You’re hurt.” I muttered, breaking the shackles that bound me to the spot I was standing and making my way closer to him.“You’re seriously hurt, you should get the doctor to—”“Th
MAEVE HAWTHORN.Gasping, I managed to share my location with Scarlett as I laid on the bed, curled up like a wet, homeless cat as I waited for my best friend to get here.She’s the only one that can get me through this, she’s been with me through thick and thin and the fact that she knows just what to do whenever I’m down in the slump is what makes her my best friend.My chest feels tight and my heart was heavy as I clutched my chest and bawled my eyes out like a little baby while imagining the worst case scenarios.What’s wrong with me? A week or so ago, I wouldn’t have cared.The ruckus outside caught my attention and slowly, I walked out of my room and down the stairs to see that it was my best friend throwing a fit.“LET ME IN, YOU FUCKING SONS OF A BITCH!” She cursed through her teeth as she pulled her shoe off and threw it at one of the men while trying to force her way in.Seeing her fling her bag around without caring who it hits, seeing her be so chaotic made me chuckle and I
MAEVE HAWTHORN.I didn’t expect that I was going to be able to talk to Levi on a deeper level. I could still feel my heart in my throat and it’s not because I was scared of him.There’s no disputing the fact that I’m scared, I’m extremely scared of the kind of feelings I have for Enzo and how badly it was going to affect him.‘I have to show him that he’s worth loving, huh?’ I muttered to myself as I sat on the chair right beside Levi’s table as if I was going to lose my life if I stood up.I’d already told him that I didn’t want to leave him and I guess that can translate to me being in love with him and frankly, I can’t shake off these feelings inside of me.Why does Levi have to pour all of these out to me when my feelings are such a mess?Do I really want to get deeply involved with a man like Enzo? Saying what I did at the dining table means I already know all the risks and yet, I’m diving deep into the danger.It means that I would have to be the one to take responsibility for w
MAEVE HAWTHORN.His eyes were fiery and red with obvious rage, it was clear that nothing I said would get him to spend one more minute in the room.“Every single one of them is going to die.” He said through gritted teeth as he walked. The air around him was so cold that it sent chills running down my spine.This is the exact state that I do not want to see Enzo De-Luca in because when he’s like this then there’s no telling what he’s going to do.There’s no telling what he’s capable of. I shook when I looked down to see Levi bleeding profusely, his blood was all over my hand.The sound of the door slamming told me that Enzo had walked out already, “there’s no time! I need the first aid box and a bottle of vodka.” I ordered the men who sprung into action.“I also need someone to call an ambulance!” I added and it didn’t take long for all of them to start doing as I’d said.I’ve never seen so much blood before and the sight of it right now was sending me over the edge. My stomach was cl
ENZO DE-LUCAThis isn’t right.I smiled as Maeve happily took my hand and even though I was always more steps ahead of her whenever we walked, she was right in front of me right now.She walked so care-freely and I felt my chest tighten as I watched her walk like she was a little girl that had just been promised candy or her favorite Barbie doll.This doesn’t feel right, this feeling in my chest, this warm glow that enveloped my entire being doesn’t seem right. It doesn’t make sense.Just when I make a promise to myself to steer clear of her, I find myself getting drawn to her even more. She’s not supposed to be more than my slut.She’s not supposed to be more than a tool for my satisfaction, my cum rag, my cocksleeve but somehow, somehow I’m starting to see her as something more.I’d stupidly opened my mouth and told her that I was in love with her. Why would I do that? Why in the world did I do that?She’s caught my eyes in so many ways and that’s all shades of wrong because my eyes
ENZO DE-LUCA.What am I doing? Really, what the hell am I doing?Sighing, I carefully took Maeve to the bathroom and turned the shower on. This isn’t the first time I’ve felt like this and since the first time didn’t end well for me, I made up my mind never to feel like that ever again only to have myself falling head over heels for my slut.She’s supposed to be my pet, she’s here because she’s using her body to pay up the debts her father owed me but here I am, bathing her.My stomach tightened and I tried to shake the thoughts out of my head. I wanted to enjoy this moment, believe me, I want to make her feel loved.I want to love her the way she deserves to be loved but the more I think about it, the more convinced I am that I can’t possibly love her that way.The more whatever this feeling in my chest is grows, the more I’m reminded that it didn’t work out the first time and there’s no way in hell that it would work out the second time for me.“Spread your legs,” I ordered, forcing
MAEVE HAWTHORN.The feeling of something cold between my legs caused my eyes to flutter open slowly and I would have forgotten that I couldn’t see anything if it wasn’t for the blindfold still covering my eyes.The sound of rain had stopped which brought me to the knowledge that the rain had probably stopped falling. I could feel Enzo’s cold hands between my legs, fondling my inner thigh and I drew in a sharp breath.What time is it now? How long have I been asleep for?“Did you rest well?” He asked and I nodded slowly since the ball gag in my mouth couldn’t have possibly let me express myself the way I wanted to.“Alright then, let’s pick up from where we stopped, shall we?” He sounded happy, a little too excited even and since my body had recovered a little, the excitement rubbed off on me.My pussy throbbed, purring at the thought of what was going to happen next. If he hadn’t let me rest when he did then there’s no denying that I would have passed out and that would have been real
MAEVE HAWTHORN.“I can’t….” My voice trailed off, eyes closing as I laid on the bed, completely exhausted. I knew I wanted this, I wanted to be fucked until I can no longer walk but right now, I felt too exhausted.I didn’t need to take a look at my pussy before I could see how red it was, it was also achy and my whole body was engulfed in tides of weariness.My eyes fluttered open and Enzo was looking down at me, despite being the one who did all of the job, he looked utterly energized.It was almost as if he hadn’t been doing anything at all and everything that we’ve done leading up to this time had been nothing but the tip of the iceberg.“I don’t think I can take it anymore.” I forced out, I felt tired, too tired to keep my eyes open and just when I finished talking, my eyes fell shut.Everything turned dark at once and the only sound I could hear was the pattering of rain outside and the sound of my own heart beating.“If I was making love to you, Hazel, I would’ve stopped,” he w
