MAEVE HAWTHORN.Bolting out of the basement as fast as I could, I ran out of the building with absolutely no idea where I was going but I kept running off in hopes that I was going to run into someone.My mind was conflicted and even though I was running out of breath, I didn’t stop. The estate was so huge that I felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere at all.Why did I agree to come with him? Why didn’t I put up more fights?I could hear the sound of Enzo’s car behind me but looking back was the last thing on my mind. Increasing my speed, I ran until I couldn’t anymore and finally stopped when Enzo’s car double crossed me.Left with no other choice, I decided to go back all the way but I hadn’t gone very far when I felt Enzo grabbed me, pulling me back until I crashed into his hard chest.My heart pounded erratically and the scent of his cologne was starting to send some kind of signal to my body and I just couldn’t let that happen.Fighting against him, Enzo held me even tighter until I
ENZO DE-LUCASeeing her so scared of me troubled me deeply and I felt completely uneasy. Groaning, my mind went back to when I’d tried to touch her and she moved away from me. I didn’t want to be worried but I couldn’t help it.“I’m terrified of you.” The sound of that kept ringing like a bell in my head and the more I tried to forget about it, the harder it became.What can I do? How do I get her to stop being so scared of me?“You’re not a monster?” Her voice stopped me in my tracks as she scoffed and it was taking all that I had in me to not turn around and face her.“That’s right,“ she laughed and the sound of her soft footsteps made me think for a moment that she was walking towards me but I knew better.“You’re worse than a monster,” she added with a sigh and I felt a sudden chillness in my stomach as my grip around the doorknob tightened.“Goodnight, Enzo.” She finished. I wanted to keep walking but at the same time I wanted to turn around and tell her that I’m not the kind of
MAEVE HAWTHORN.It’s been four days since Enzo and I went to that estate, four days since I saw him brutally kill someone with no remorse and even though it’s been that long, I still couldn’t get it out of my head.I’d done everything in my power to make sure that I forget about it but the moment I’m left alone with my thoughts, the more it comes hitting me.I couldn’t get it out of my head, the sight, the sound and everything was so difficult to forget and nothing, not even my father has had this kind of effect on me.“Hey! Are you listening?!” Clara’s voice put my thoughts to a stop and it wasn’t until then that I realized that I’d totally gotten lost in my own thoughts.“You’re doing it again,” Clara added as she turned to face me on the bed. I knew we were having a conversation but somewhere along the line, I’d spaced out.“What’s going on?” She added and I sighed as I turned to face her too. The scar the incident four days ago had caused me was too difficult to nurse.I’d had ser
ENZO DE-LUCA“Are you okay?” I muttered as I helped her up, finally having her in my arms, her curvaceous, soft and gorgeous body was tender under my embrace.My cock twitched and I wanted nothing more than to hold her in my arms even more, I wanted to squeeze her like she was some sort of plushie.How long has it been since I’ve last held her in my arms like this?“Excuse me.” She responded, the intensity of her voice lashing at every one of my bones and making me shiver within me as she moved away from my embrace.She didn’t look up at me for once and I couldn’t help but watch as Maeve walked past me, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear as she walked.Her body was stiff and even as my eyes followed her, even as I tried as hard as I could to go with her, to have her talk to me. All I did was clench my fist.The sound of her wincing caused me to turn fully in her direction and that was when I saw what she was really doing, her eyes were closed so she wouldn’t have to see me.
MAEVE HAWTHORN.What? There’s no way he just said that.I felt weak to my knees and my entire being shivered as I finally looked up at him. His green eyes were dark with desire and even though I wanted to convince myself that he was just messing with me, his expression was serious.His lips were pressed together in a thin, bitter smile and his brows drew together as the side of his lips curled as if at the edge of laughter.My heart tightened against my chest and I felt a large lump seeking refuge in my throat. It was as though I’d just taken a blow to my face and I had no idea what to do next.“What?” I had no idea I’d said that until I heard it in my own head. His grip around my wrist tightened even more, making me feel as though he was hanging onto me for life.What kind of a man takes a woman to a basement where he’d tied up a half dead man that had betrayed him, make her watch him torture the man, make her suck his cock, traumatized her so badly that she has nightmares now.“Y— y
ENZO DE-LUCA“Yes. Be here as soon as you can, please. Okay.” I let out a sigh after I hung up the call and my knees felt weak, my legs were too tired to hold me and before I could think, my back had already hit the pole.Sighing again, I knew really well that it would take a long time for Maeve to warm up to me again, she never warmed up to me to start with.Laughing, I made my way up the stairs, my mind conflicted with tons of thoughts and just when I came to my senses, when I realized my legs were drifting towards Maeve’s room, I paused.She needs time, I need to give her the time she needs.Shaking the thoughts out of my head, I hurried to my study to get some work done and also wait for Levi and Yvette for the urgent meeting I’d called.“It’s rare for you to call an urgent meeting,” Levi’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I lifted my gaze to see him standing right in front of me.My heart pounded at first but I did all I could to hide my surprise, “you can try to hide your
ENZO DE-LUCAYvette gave me a good stroke before spitting on my cock, making it wet and slippery. I know how good she is and as guilty as I feel for doing this, it’s the only way I can get Maeve out of my head.“I’ll suck your cock and as usual, feel free to cum in my mouth so I can eat your nut up.” She looked up at me with a smile and soon, she started off by stroking my slippery cock.She finally stuck out her tongue and licked up the shaft. A long sticky stringer of saliva attached to her tongue as she licked making a mess on her chin, she licked up again.Going down to my balls, Yvette licked her way up again and I hate to admit that it was good because she was getting my cock to get hard although my imagination helped too.Maeve was the one kneeling in front of me.I kept repeating to myself until I could look down at Yvette and see Maeve looking up at me with her big brown eyes and smiling at me with her perfect for sucking cock lips.“Look at me,” I ordered and felt a lump at
ENZO DE-LUCAYvette’s eyes widened, she looked shocked as she stood to her feet but she immediately recovered from the dumbfounding moment.“What?” She asked, her head tilted to the side as she stared at me, “what’s wrong with you? Is this about the Maeve girl?” She asked and I nodded without hesitation.“I mean, there’s no other reason, it’s because of her.” I responded, doing everything I could to get her out of my office and even though I felt guilty, I couldn’t let it eat up at me.I wanted her to leave, I needed the space and time to think before doing anything else and I might have stupidly let her suck my cock, I couldn’t possibly let it go further than that.The study fell silent and I studied Yvette’s facial expression. She looked disgusted but at the same time she had a satisfactory look on her face and her eyes glistened with some sort of mischief.“Well, you let me suck you so I guess she’s not that important after all or you would have stopped me.” She retorted, her words
MAEVE HAWTHORN.Her face was buried in his chest and they were both covered in blood. My eyes went wide and I felt anger knotting in my stomach as I stared at him.I shouldn’t be mad, I should be glad that he’s fine and there’s probably a reason he was holding her like that, something probably happened and I shouldn’t be angry but I couldn’t control.My teeth gritted and I felt my stomach curl in both pain and anger, my nostrils flared in fury as a cloud darkened my mind, thunder rattling my thoughts but despite it all, I forced myself to smile.“Welcome home, Enzo.” I said, swallowing all of the rage that was welling up in my throat but the disgust I felt seeing another woman in my man’s arms was so powerful I couldn’t ignore it.“I’m back,” he responded, his voice was low, rough, dull and tired, “I should have come to get you but I couldn’t leave Yvette alone, she got injured in the clash.” He explained and I nodded.“I’m sorry, I was—”“It’s fine, Enzo,” I cut in before he could fi
MAEVE HAWTHORN.The entire house was in a panic and the last thing I wanted was to let Enzo deal with that panic alone but I also knew that I was going to be getting in his way.“AHH!” I screamed, closing my eyes and covering both my ears when I heard the sound of a loud gunshot. Slowly, I opened my eyes to see that Enzo was completely gone.He had disappeared and I couldn’t see even the slightest trace of him in the hallway. My heart sank into my stomach right away.My breath caught in my throat and I could feel myself shaking like a fucking wet leaf as disturbing images built up in my head and I just couldn’t.That’s the father of my baby!“ENZ—”“No!” Clara said firmly, her hand clamping down on mine as she started pulling me down the hallway and towards the same room the women and men that couldn’t really handle violence were all heading too.“Something bad is going to happen, I can’t let him go there alone.” The words rushed out of my mouth as I struggled in Clara’s firm hold but
ENZO DE-LUCA.Her eyes were wide as she stared at me, it was evident that she was stunned, her tongue was absolutely tied and I swear I wanted to wait until she was ready to tell me but I couldn’t.My excitement was way beyond my ability to conceal and knowing how much I needed to learn, I wanted to get to work as soon as possible.I wanted to be there for every doctor’s appointment, for every morning, afternoon, evening or night sickness, I want to learn how to help her handle the mood swings she was going to be getting.Scrolling through the internet and I’ve learned a lot, I’ve learned that the pregnancy hormones are far stronger than the menstrual hormones and there would be days when she would just want me out of her hair because I’m annoying.I want to experience every single moment.“I know you’re pregnant and really, I was going to wait for you to tell me at your own time but there’s no way I can act like I don’t know anything.” I sighed as I sat up.Maeve was still in shock,
ENZO DE-LUCA.“What?” She looked shocked as I impaled myself next to her and placed my head on her shoulder, “what are you talking about?” She added.“I mean, I thought about it and my answer changed,” I responded, “having a baby is still scary but if you’re the woman carrying that baby then I don’t think I have to worry.” I paused.“I swear it sounded better in my head and not as if I wanted you as a breeder or anything of the sort, I just thought about having a mini you and that changed my mind.” I explained.Silence settled in the room and even the silence was so loud that I could not only hear my heart beating so fast but I could hear hers too and the chatter between my men downstairs.I wanted her to say something, to tell me that she still wanted my baby but my little flame didn’t say anything and I was left with thinking I’ve really ruined everything.“I know what I said the other day annoyed you and you’ve probably not forgiven me for it but I swear I had my own reasons even t
ENZO DE-LUCA.“Are you sure you’re okay?” I asked as I helped Maeve get out of the bathroom, I knew something was off about her, she’s been falling sick a lot lately but whenever I bring up the hospital, she would just change the subject.I could see her nipples protruding even though she was wearing one of the thickest shirts I own and her skin looks paler than usual, the outline of her boobs was enough to tell me how big it had gotten.That can’t be normal and not just that but even her favorite food seems to be irritating her now, she hates hearing some kinda voices and even I have to walk on eggshells around her.It’s scary and when I asked AI, it came up with tons of possibilities but the only one that wouldn’t stop ringing in my head is the possibility of pregnancy.She can’t be pregnant now, not when she had asked about what my reaction would be three days ago and I’d completely freaked out.THREE DAYS AGO.“Enzo?” Maeve called and I almost jumped because it was way past midnig
MAEVE HAWTHORN.Taking Enzo’s hand, both of us walked out of the house and he held the door open for me. His hand didn’t leave my thigh until we got to the restaurant.It was luxurious, everything, including the staff screamed excess luxury and I just couldn’t wrap my head around how he keeps finding places like this.Not that I should be surprised but each time I feel like nothing he does could surprise me anymore, he does not only surprise me but turns me on in the process.“What do you think?” Enzo asked as I kept my gaze fixed on the restaurant built like it was a penthouse, no word could have described what I thought.It was magnificent, magical and the interior made me feel like I’d completely left earth and was on another planet.“This way please.” A feminine voice put a halt to my thoughts and I held Enzo even tighter as I followed the waitress to wherever she was leading us to.I could tell this was the VIP section because only a few people were there and the light was dimly-
MAEVE HAWTHORN.“Which do you think I should wear today? I want him to be taken by surprise when he sees me.” I said, holding up two different dresses for Scarlett and Clara to choose.Everyday after that night at the beach has been nothing but bliss, it’s been more than a month now and Enzo and I are still going strong.My closet has been filled up with dresses, hoodies and T-shirts that he either got from me or I stole from him and I just felt like my life had never been better.When I told Scarlett and Clara about the new development, they had the same reaction even though they weren’t together when I told them.“The red one is sexy but I feel like the black is fierce and Enzo would definitely love it on you.” Clara said and Scarlett immediately nodded in agreement.Tonight is date night and he had gone out as usual to make preparations while I stayed back and just got ready for him to come pick me up.The thought of it made my heart flutter and even though I was so sure that nothi
ENZO DE-LUCA.“Why do you have to do this?” Maeve whined, hitting my chest as the tears poured down her cheeks uncontrollably, “I wasn’t prepared to cry tonight.” She added before standing on her tiptoe and slamming her lips against mine.I could feel the salty taste of her tears in my mouth as I kissed her and I closed my eyes to savor every taste of her, to get as much of her as I could possibly get.Wrapping my hands around her waist as she wrapped hers around my neck, I held her tightly, afraid to let go and I was glad that she didn’t try to get away from me.“I love you Enzo De-Luca,” she pulled out of the kiss long enough to say that before hugging me even tighter, “I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF!” She yelled so loud, I felt like my eardrums were going to blow up into smithereens.We just stood there, hugging each other and it felt like time stopped and the only sound that could be heard was the soft whoosh of the wind and the ocean.I felt refreshed, like a whole new person w
ENZO DE-LUCA.My eyes darted to my wristwatch and I sighed when I realized that we were already about two hours late to our reservation but I didn’t care.I wanted to spend the night with her doing something that doesn’t really involved fucking her and although I knew just how hard it would be, I knew I had to hold back.“I had about three places reserved for us but we’ve missed the first two, should we just go to the next one instead?” I asked as I got into the car with her.Maeve winced, she wasn’t really comfortable and I could tell that her pussy was already spurting out a mixture of our juices and it would definitely leave a big stain later.“Hmm Hmm.” She nodded, unable to speak as she took a deep breath and with one hand on her lap, I drove out of the building and directly to the beach restaurant I’d booked.It was the most romantic place out of all the three places I booked. I wanted to show and let her know that I was in this with her.I wanted to do something to assure her t
