He reached out a hand, his fingers gently tracing the curve of my breast before his thumb flicked across my nipple.
He looked into my eyes, his gaze intense and possessive, he lowered his head until his tongue flicked out and touched my nipple, still maintaining direct eye contact.
His eyes finally closed as he savored the taste, a low groan escaping his lips.
My head fell back against the soft pillows, my hair scattering all over the bed, the feeling so incredibly hot that I could feel myself getting slick and wet down there.
He placed his hand on my other breast, his fingers fumbling slightly as he squeezed and kneaded, his attention still focused on my nipple.
“Look at me,” he commanded, his voice a husky whisper. My eyes fluttered open, staring up at him as a moan escaped my lips, followed by another, and another, each one more breathy than the last. This felt so incredibly good, so intensely forbidden.
He trailed his hand down my stomach, his touch sending shivers down my spine, until his fingers reached the elastic of my g-string. He shifted it slightly, his fingers slipping underneath, rubbing against my already swollen and aching clit in slow, deliberate circles, all while he continued to suckle on my breast, his gaze locked on mine.
His finger rubbed on my slickness, the friction building the pressure within me.
My moans increased in intensity, my breath coming in short, sharp gasps.
He stood up abruptly, freeing me from his touch, and stared down at his wet finger, his next action being that he brought it to his mouth, licking up everything, his eyes closing in what looked like pure satisfaction.
A low moan escaped my own lips, a sound of pure, unadulterated want.
He pulled me closer, his hands rough as he aggressively removed my panties, tossing them aside. Then, he finally removed his shirt, revealing his toned chest, the muscles defined in the dim light.
He looked so good.
I wanted so badly to trace my fingers over his chest, to feel the smooth skin and the hard muscles underneath and to draw his face on it, or something equally ridiculous and impulsive.
He looked so damn good, the light dusting of hair on his chest, the way his muscles flexed with every movement, the sheer weight of his presence.
He obviously worked out, or had a gym here in this ridiculous mansion.
He spread my legs, his gaze intense, and then placed his finger between my slick folds, digging it deep inside me. I tightened around him involuntarily, my body coiling to one side, a gasp escaping my lips.
“How do I make you feel?” he asked, his voice a low growl against my ear.
I moaned out loud, the sound raw and unrestrained, knowing how much this simple touch was making me feel, how close I was to the edge. I tried to hold my breath, but a scream was already building in my throat.
He continued, his finger moving rhythmically inside me, and I could feel myself drenching in my own wetness, the sensations overwhelming.
“I said,” he stopped, his gaze intense, and positioned me, his hard cock throbbing in front of my entrance.
He leaned down and licked up everything on his finger, his eyes never leaving mine. As he moved in slowly, stretching me, filling me completely, he repeated, his voice a low, demanding whisper, “How… do… I… make… you… feel?”
“Holy fuck… great!” I screamed, the word tearing from my throat in a more primal, sexy tone than I had ever heard from myself before.
I yelped, my hands clenching the sheets.
I tried to close my mouth, embarrassed by the uncontrolled sound.
He laughed, a genuine, almost comic and sweet laughter that surprised me, like he had just witnessed something endearing. Maybe I looked attractive in this vulnerable light.
“You should fucking see yourself,” he growled, his pace increasing, faster and faster and faster, the rhythm driving me wild.
I could tell he was getting close, his breath coming in short, ragged gasps as he continued to fumble with my breasts, his grip tightening.
“You’re so tight,” he exclaimed in a low, strained tone, something I caught easily in the heat of the moment.
“Because you fuck me right,” I blurted out, the words escaping from my lips and just as I said it, he held my ass up, thrusting deeper, and I whimpered, my body arching off the bed.
I knew that if anyone else was in this building, they would have obviously heard my voice, the screams tearing from my throat. And just then, he stared down at me, his eyes dark and focused, and he came, a hot, intense rush of pleasure.
It felt so incredibly nice, but at the same time, so wrong. So deeply, fundamentally wrong.
“Go clean up,” he said, his voice flat and dismissive as he collapsed back onto the bed, his breathing still ragged. I turned to look at him, a wave of hurt washing over me.
How could he dismiss me so immediately after that?
He shut his eyes, placing his hands behind his head, his expression closed off.
I clumsily sat there for a moment, trying to decipher his reaction, wondering if he had even considered or liked what we had just shared, or if this was just the same way he looked at his other… sluts.
“Get out,” he repeated, his voice cold and final.
I shook, my body trembling slightly as I stood up, gathering the discarded clothes in my arms. I realized with a jolt that I was completely naked, and there was no time to put anything on.
Tears welled in my eyes as I ran back to my room, the shame and humiliation washing over me in a crushing wave.
I knew what I had been reduced to.
I opened my door and moved inside, but stopped midway, my bare foot catching on something just inside the threshold, preventing the door from closing properly.
A letter. And a single, black rose.
I picked it up, my heart pounding in my chest, and moved further into the room, my hands shaking. Cleaning the tears from my eyes, I unfolded the small piece of paper, my breath catching in my throat as I read the single, chilling sentence:
You should be careful with what you play with.
My hands went numb, and I dropped the clothes onto the bed, the soft thud echoing in the sudden silence of the room. I moved back, my mind racing, trying to make sense of this.
Careful and how is that?
How was that even possible? I scoffed, a nervous laugh escaping my lips, as I threw the rose and letter into the bin, and reminder of what had just happened inside Damien’s room flashed through me.
The pleasure, the humiliation, the fear, my face squeezed in disgust.
LEILA..Ugh. Dragging myself towards the bathroom felt like trying to move through thick syrup, my body feels so so weak at this moment, even if I did nothing except laying on the bed.Three days.Three damn days since I last saw or heard from Damien not like I wanted to but it feels so strange and dirty, every time I even thought about what happened between us, that whole messed up night, my brain just replayed it on loop.But what really got under my skin that the sex… yeah the sex was actually something I couldn’t stop thinking about.Seriously?“Arghhhhhh” I groaned, squeezing the toothpaste onto my brush, while I scrubbed the sleep grime off my teeth which actually was the same routine every morning.Except, you know the food magically appears outside my door part, which was new, it’s always the knock and take we had worked with now it feels so different like the person was tired or sees me as a maniac, maybe Matteo does too, but he’s certainly not the food giver. After rins
Damien..I moved toward her room, trying to figure out what the hell had just happened. Not the nicest way to think about a woman, calling her “it” but Leila Jones, she has this effect on me.This stubborn fire in her eye that made me want to both protect her and completely unravel her. Yesterday at the dinner table when she’d walked up to me in that dress, that damn dress, every instinct in my body screamed at me to rip it off right then and there, but I had to keep it together.My dick definitely noticed.It was goddamn struggle to maintain control, staring at her like that, the list a tangible thing coiling in my guts. But none of that mattered, not really.I was the Damien Leonardo Alvaro.I had a reputation and an image to uphold and we don’t wear our emotions on our sleeves.We kept our heads down and our power absolute.I’d taken her up to my private strip club, the anticipation brewing inside of me and something darker than lust.I could feel the sway of her hips and I led h
LEILA..“Don’t touch me, I have no business here”The voice becomes louder as someone is thrown into my room, I jumped off my bed trying to hide my phoneMight be a threatThis whole situation felt like one giant messed up game.This time it was a different woman, she reminded me of Tracy making me feel like a trapped bird.I pretended I hadn’t seen her shoved in, focusing on my phone, but I could feel her presence behind me.I glanced at my phone screen again, catching her reflection “this place looks disgusting, was this even cleaned?” Her voice dripping with disdain.I turn to face her.Blonde.I told my eye, for some reason the bitchy attitude seemed to gravitate towards the blondes and redheads.No idea why that was a thing in my head.She proposed a smile which didn’t reach her eyes, I could tell it was a fake polite gesture that screamedI’d rather be anywhere else than in your company. I perched on the edge of the bed, pulling out my phone again, because I had hidden it whe
DAMIEN ..“I needed you to look into it,” I’d stated, the words a low growl that rumbled with barely contained fury.A disturbing number of operations had been going sideways lately, and the sheer audacity of the Elvares, those vipers, slithering onto my territory and conducting their dirty business without even a whisper of respect, had my temper flaring.It hadn’t ended cleanly, not by a long shot.I’d moved to the far end of the dimly lit study, the heavy curtains drawn tight against the evening.She hadn’t seen me enter, and the shadows clinging to the corners of the room seemed to swallow my presence whole. Frankly, I hadn’t wanted her to see me yet.I was still wrestling with the image of her, trying to claw her out of the relentless grip she had on my thoughts.Eighty percent of the time I stepped out of this damn mansion, her face, her scent, a strange mix of defiance and vulnerability, her infuriating presence haunted my every waking moment.Not in some soft, romantic w
LEILA ..“You’re being called,” Gerald had growled, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through the very air, shaking me to my core.It felt like I could just dissolve into the shadows, vanish into thin air, but that wasn’t even remotely possible in this life.I looked at Misa, her face a mask of carefully neutral concern, and then back at my phone lying discarded on the bed.Trying to stand, my legs felt like lead, my vision still slightly blurred from the lingering effects of the previous night.“What do you think might be the cause?” I whispered to Misa, my voice barely audible, while Gerald had turned his back, his broad shoulders tense.At first, a jolt of pure panic had shot through me, thinking something terrible had happened and he was here to deliver some devastating blow, but no, he was just here for a call. So why did the summons feel so heavy, so ominous?His eyes, when he had looked at me, had seemed utterly devoid of life. Black.Just black.Totally dead. “I don’t
LEILA ..Misa came inside, her footsteps feels soft as she walked to my side, her presence a small anchor in the storm raging within me.Her hands moved to my back, soothing, rubbing gentle circles, a silent acknowledgment of the raw terror that still clung to my skin.“How the hell did my life get to this?” I can barely breathe at this moment “Getting to watch bloodshed every damn day, and then serve him in bed.”Except that the sex was perfect in a way that twisted my insides.How had I even ended up here, in this gilded cage, my body betraying my mind at every turn? My head began to swim, my thoughts a chaotic jumble, my mind drifting to places I tried to keep locked away.I felt a desperate urge to reach out to my mom again, to hear her voice, to know if she was alright.If the treatment was going well, or if everything was falling apart back home from which he had promised he was taking care of her, and against all logic, I clung to his words.Misa sat beside me, hopping onto
LEILA ..It felt unbelievably good to be free.Four days had passed, and I hadn’t had the constant gnawing need to watch my every word, to respond to some demand, or to live in the suffocating grip of fear for my life.I might not know when the inevitable return to that reality would happen, but one thing I clung to fiercely in the present was this fragile sense of liberation.“What do you think? This one, or that?” Misa asked, holding up two brightly colored dresses against her body.We were getting ready to visit a club, a more revelation to the suffocating silence of the mansion.The new bodyguard assigned to us, a burly man with watchful eyes, had informed us that Damien had given strict instructions while he was to take us wherever we wanted, with the explicit exclusion of my house and anything that dredged up my past.I saw it as a twisted form of torture, a cruel reminder of what I couldn't have, but I didn't dare defy his orders.At least I was getting out, and he had eve
LEILA ..“Her body felt so soft, and I just wanted to feel more of it,” Misa was still giggling, a light, airy sound that grated slightly on my already frayed nerves.I turned to my left, grabbing the nearest drink from the counter, a clear, potent liquid that burned going down.I was already feeling the edges of intoxication blurring my senses.I scanned the club, trying to locate the two men, to see if my earlier unease had been justified, but they were nowhere to be found.Maybe they had gone upstairs, or maybe I was just being paranoid, my mind conjuring threats where there were none, overreacting as usual.“What’s wrong?” Misa asked, her voice pulling me back from my anxious thoughts.I blinked, feeling like I hadn’t truly heard her as I reached for another drink, but she gently placed her hand on my arm, a subtle tension running between us. “Just my thoughts,” I mumbled, trying to sound casual.“What did you see?” she pressed, her gaze becoming more concerned. She leaned cl
DAMIEN ..I watched her retreating back as she gathered her things, her movements stiff, each step a testament to the pain she wouldn't voice.She didn't turn back as she limped towards the door, a silent goodbye.I knew she was hurting, both physically and emotionally, but she wouldn't let it show.That's Leila for you. Sex with her was always electric, a primal connection that left me breathless, and the way she moaned my name… it drove me fucking insane, and she knew I loved seeing her in that garter belt, a small, wicked detail that always set my blood on fire and she knew me too damn well, understood the twisted desires that lurked beneath the surface.This was it. The end of the Elvares.They were finally erased, a stain wiped clean, and if any of their bloodline, any distant cousin or forgotten offspring, still drew breath somewhere in this godforsaken world, then they should be ready for a war unlike any they had ever imagined.They should come armed with a fucking army,
LEILA ..Maybe everything I had ever thought about Damien, the darkness that clung to him like a second skin, the ruthlessness that could chill you to the bone, all seemed to trace back to my mother’s actions.All this time, all he had wanted, deep down, was to exact the same kind of revenge, a bitter truth that settled in my stomach like a lead weight.I could feel it in the air, a lingering tension that even Gerald, who usually bounced back from anything with a grin, couldn't completely dispel but Damien… Damien wasn’t wired that way.He didn’t simply get over things, not even for a little while.He would make sure you understood the depth of his pain, would rip your heart out if you didn’t feel it too.He truly lived by that twisted code of “do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” a philosophy that painted his world in shades of vengeance and retribution.The kiss deepened, becoming a slow, deliberate claim, he controlled the way we shifted on the bed, a subtle yet
LEILA ..“I want you here.”His words hung in the air, each syllable echoing in my ears like a warning bell, as if I was caught trying to escape, or maybe this was the last time he was ever going to see me.“I want to get some rest, and I think you need it too,” I said softly, placing my hand gently on his arm, trying to remove his grip on mine.I was still wary, acutely aware that he was the one who called the shots in this here, but he was weak now, vulnerable, and he desperately needed rest. “I just need a few minutes,” “It might help me sleep. I can get anyone to do it, but I think… I think I want to hear you speak.”He tried to push himself up higher against the pillows, his movements stiff and pained.He should have been lying flat on his back, protecting the wound, but instead, he was trying to sit up, his face etched with discomfort.“Why did you never question Mabel?” he asked, his gaze suddenly intense, piercing. This wasn’t the time to talk about my mother, not now.M
LEILA ..My thighs were throbbing even through the thick bandages I had managed to wrap around them. It was a grim skill I’d picked up in this life, knowing how to treat wounds, especially after seeing Alvin shoot that poor nurse without a second thought, it has resurfaced within me, it hasn’t been me who’d had the knitting pin yanked out, Gerald had handled that, his face grim as he’d worked.We had left that burning hellhole behind, and as we drove further away, a deafening boom echoed in the distance. I turned to see Alvin’s estate engulfed in flames, a raging inferno against the dark sky.“We need your help,” Gerald said, his clothes looking fresh, like he’d changed into something new.He seemed to have regained his composure, but my mind was still racing, fixated on Damien.“How’s he feeling?”They had called someone else for medical assistance to oversee his injured area.“He needs to be stitched up and bandaged properly,” he scratched his head like some confused child. “N
LEILA ..I knew he was here the instant I heard the first gunshot rip through the air.It was a sound I had become sickeningly familiar with in the last few weeks, but this one felt different, closer, more personal.For Me.When I had first arrived at this hellhole, Alvin had wasted no time in making his intentions clear. He had shouted obscenities into my ears, his breath hot and foul against my skin, warning me against even looking at Damien.They knew he was coming but not today. Although, at that point, I couldn’t fathom why he would, why he would risk everything for me, a nobody he had plucked from a life he barely acknowledged or maybe because he owned me and I know what that meant.But then Alvin had traced a possessive finger down my cleavage, a camera recording my every reaction, before forcing the cold, hard barrel of a gun into my mouth.I had thrown up afterwards, the taste of bile mingling with the metallic tang of fear and I had cried so much, tears streaming down my
DAMIEN ..I slammed my boot against the first door, the flimsy wood groaning in protest before splintering inward with a violent crack.Two hulking figures, built like brick frame, charged at me, their eyes promising a brutal fight.They looked like the kind of muscle Alvin would hire, thinking brute force could stop me.I didn't even break my stride, my gun already spitting fire, two quick bursts taking them down before they could even reach me. Their heavy bodies thudded onto the polished floor, the sound barely audible over the terrified screams of the women huddled in the corner, their hands clamped over their ears.They were mostly naked, just scraps of fabric clinging to them, their eyes wide with a fear that mirrored Leila's in my nightmares.I hated that sound, the sound of pure terror, it clawed at something inside me, a primal protectiveness for what was mine.That raw sound, the sheer vulnerability in their screams, only fueled the boiling rage inside me.I shoved the li
DAMIEN ..The car ate up the distance, our car, three of which I had chosen from all the cars, and also I’d handpicked a few solid guys from Gerald’s crew, the kind who wouldn’t blink if hell itself opened up.Alvin wouldn’t know I was coming this night, maybe expecting me the next day, just like I hadn’t had any warning about his lowlife ambush. Guess he still hadn’t figured out who the fuck he was messing with.Every damn whisper in the New York underworld eventually found its way to me. I was the damn underworld, and the Alvaros weren't some two-bit operation to be taken lightly.Not even if I drew my last breath.I was the devil they all feared, and Alvin had just signed his death warrant, this kind of shit doesn’t happen while I watch , not on my territory.I walked towards the imposing gate of Alvin’s estate, the wrought iron cold against my palm as I pushed it open.My guys moved with a practiced silence, slipping through the opening like shadows.The air instantly crackled
DAMIEN ..The call dropped, the silence in the hotel room suddenly deafening after Misa’s frantic words.We had just stepped off the plane, the humidity clinging to us like a second skin, the promise of a few days of respite before heading back to New York hanging in the air.“What’s wrong?” I’d asked, my gut twisting with a sudden premonition.“Leila… the estate was raided. She was taken. Everything’s shattered.” I said to Gerald while he came around where I stood, looking at me like he had just seen a ghost but that was barely a problem as my eyes widened in disbelief, then narrowed with a white-hot fury that threatened to consume me.“They fucking took her?” I slammed my fist into the wall, again and again, the drywall cracking under the force of my rage.We were in a goddamn hotel room, the plan to return to our lives in the Alvaro’s Mansion the next day now a distant, mocking memory. “Buddy, you gotta hold on,” Gerald said, his voice surprisingly calm amidst my storm of fury.
LEILA ..He walked towards me, his gaze locked onto mine, and a chilling realization washed over me. I was the target. Not any of the others huddled in fear, not even Misa.Everyone else, the terrified guards, the whimpering maids they were just witnesses.The heavy door creaked open again, and several young women, some almost naked except for little coverage of panties, one completely bare, were shoved into the hall, their screams echoing off the cold stone walls.At that moment, a strange numbness settled over me, even as my insides trembled violently.The sheer audacity of it all, the blatant disregard for human life, for him to look at me with that cold, calculating intensity, I knew what it meant.They knew I was close to Damien but how had they figured that out?I hadn’t been out with him publicly, and no one here knew about our complicated past, our twisted version of family except for that visit to my mom and maybe they had been watching me for a long time.He stopped
