A U R O R A(A year later) Eighteen-year-oldOne year flew by in the moment's spur. Well, I wouldn't exactly call it the spur of the moment because there were times when time passed at a snail's pace, especially when Marco would push me to work harder every morning. To this day, I wasn't sure how I had managed to follow every letter of his instructions like an obedient protege would listen to her master.It was unnerving—impossible every so often; yet I managed to strive through it all—bleeding, sweating, and panting. And Marco stood by my side, held me tight on occasions when my limbs failed to support me, and then helped me fight back—every step of the way.Marco was a double-edged sword, though. But, sometimes, he could freeze the blood in my veins too. A lesson well-learned in the past year was that: he was not a man to be trifled with when fuming unless one has a death wish. But I was way past my meaningless rebellious stage, knowing very well I wouldn't win against him. Not that

AURORA "What...what?" Sammy sputtered. "Are you insane?" She tried to laugh it off, but it was way fake. The surprise caught her off guard already. "God...hell no!"I smiled and shook my head slightly. "Let it be if you are going to lie to me, Sammy." I think she tried to justify some more, but alcohol-induced minds were generally less complex.I drank silently from the bottle, looking away from the dance floor. In the short duration of one year that I have known Sammy, it didn't take me much time to realize she was in love with Marco. Deep down, his approval meant so much more to her than her brothers.She didn't only love him but admired him.A long, uncomfortable silence ensued as Sammy finally turned and took the bottle out of my bottle, finishing it for herself.As I gave an accusatory look, she nodded. "Fine, fine—you win. But first, tell me, what gave me away?" Sammy asked softly."I have seen you looking at him...I can't explain. But I know you do love him, don't you?"She sm

AURORA "Coffee?"I looked up through the haze of hangover at the outstretched hand, holding a cup of delicious, black coffee."Thank you."I took it as Viktor sat down on the bed with me, causing the mattress to dip down under his weight.Last night was one of the most intense nights of my life. I saw the side of the man I had come to admire and adore over the long period, only to realize he was nothing that I perceived. And the most frustrating feeling was making my heart burn. As if someone has just poured acid into my throat.I still couldn't come to terms with the images of last night flashed before my eyes.I knew I would admit this only once: but I was glad when Viktor showed up outside the club when I managed to drag out Sammy—who was half unconscious in her drunken state.Inspire of everything, the part of me that ached for Marco was still battling to find a reasonable explanation out of this."How could you send me to live him?" I whispered into the steaming mug of coffee t

MARCOIt took every ounce of the indomitable will inside my body to curb the surging desire not to make her mine the very instant when my lips crashed against hers. I was only a man, after all, of flesh, blood, and impulse.As if watching a scum-hole kissing her in the club and not being able to kill him was bad enough that I had to watch Aurora running away from the fetish club. For the longest time, I kept her away from the darkest, deepest desires—I kept her away from me. And, all of a sudden, everything went down crashing like a massive earthquake.Fuck! I would be lying to myself as a seasoned dominant if I'd say she didn't feel the surge as deeply as mine. Aurora was as bewitched with the whole revelation as I was with her existence. That girl—woman—was the nexus of my life, my cravings that I have restrained so far.But as I held her against my heated flesh, kissed those nectar-lips, lured her with dark desires, I knew she was the submissive to my dominant. She fitted into me l

AURORAI didn't quite understand the attributes of BDSM per se, but what I saw and felt was through the eyes and words of the man who meant so much to me. I wouldn't lie—it chilled me to the bones when I saw the brutality they demonstrated in the videos. How does someone even jerk off to that?It reminded me of the prison all over again.But, how did everything felt so right, so arousing with Marco? For the longest time, I convinced myself that maybe these were the funny chemicals in your brain that makes you drool over silly things. The thought of him taking control, the idea of his dominance amplified a thrill of pleasure I had never encountered before.That day, I was at his mercy. He could have acted on his animal instincts, force himself on me, and yet he chose to ask me for a kiss.Who takes permission for a bloody kiss? But, then again, if someone random would try to put their mouth on me, he'd probably end up losing all his teeth.Slowly, my brain could figure out the whole 'c

MARCOSex and affection were two different elements I hadn't experienced together in an act until now. I was into BDSM because I preferred the power dynamics, the control over the stimulation of the partner, and the kink involved. I didn't know when it became a significant part of me, but I have bone-deep knowledge now that I couldn't sever it.For years, I mastered in dominance and was never short of submissives—both new and experienced—but I kept everything strictly on one-night-basis. Emotional involvement was never on my agenda.Like a massive avalanche, Aurora came and devoured every bit of my carefully decorated life and shook the very roots.Aurora's naked frame bunched in my arms, safe and content, not letting the slightest barrier slid between us. In all universe, she should be her happy place.Accepting submission was not an easy thing for a girl like her with a take-charge attitude. She was an alpha in herself. It took an insane amount of trust to let me master her body, he

SAMMYIt is easier to reject a man who cheats on you rather than swallowing the bitter pill labeled as he is not yours, so move the fuck on. I would preferably take the cheating, lying asshole, punch him in the face, and move on.It took all my adolescent years to accept the fact the Marco wasn't into me. I was merely the sister of his so-called brothers—the girl with whom he'd laugh, snicker, fight, and protect.I had seen Marco transform over the years, from a boy to a man, and each moment, made it harder to let go of this infatuation—this living, breathing passion.There was a constant push and pull of emotions. One of the fundamental reasons I couldn't let go of the feelings for Marco entirely out of my mind because he was unattached.Sure, he hooked up now and then, with girls kneeling, bowing and doing all sorts of things to him—for him. But everything was based on one-night-of-fun. So I fooled myself into believing that one day—maybe one day he'd notice me.And then I saw him w

AURORAI have never experience the true spirit of Christmas until I came across the Romanos. The extravagance and opulence aside, these people were obnoxiously obsessed with Christmas and everything that comes with it. Mrs. Romano, because of her part-Russian heritage, would insist that the celebration continues until the seventh of January.As someone who barely had a reason or chance to celebrate Christmas, I used to be overwhelmed at first. Of course, the presence of Marco by my side had helped a lot, and Sammy, in picking up the most-revealing party dress she could find, it used to be one hell of a time.However, this year, I managed to pull myself aside until the 26th. The reason being the absence of Marco for the past three months. I starved of him all this time, and it was the longest we were apart.Despite being elementarily cheesy, we decided to spend the three days together, and devoid of his company, once he came back home.As I sat by the fireplace, watching the soft crack

AURORAIt was not my first rodeo in a BDSM club. Hell, I had lived this life a few years ago, and yet it felt like ages. As I sat there, motionless and holding my breath, I watched Marco raise his arm at a certain degree and land a measured yet bone-chilling smack across the poor submissive’s bare ass, catching the sensitive skin where the thighs sloped down. He immediately arched, careful not to break his posture because whoever was watching the scene and knew Marco, knew the consequence of breaking his rhythm. Oh, yes. He was as vicious as articulate, and any deviation resulted in severe penalties. “God, please!” I heard the submissive moan into the cushion, the littlest complaint he could make without offending his master and the master whipping his ass. The second and third blows crisscrossed over the ass cheeks, while the fourth and fifth took his breath away. I followed how he cringed every time the soft swish of the belt rang in the air before it landed on his back. “Hmm,

AURORAI stormed into Viktor's office, the door slamming against the wall with a deafening bang. My anger surged as I spotted him behind his desk, casually sipping on a glass of whiskey as if he hadn’t just dropped a bombshell on me. He looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in my furious expression. “Aurora,” he greeted, his voice calm and collected. Too calm for my liking. “I’ve been expecting you.”I crossed my arms, glaring at him. “What the hell, Viktor? You decided behind my back that I’m going on this job with Marco? You know damn well I can handle this on my own.”Viktor sighed, setting his glass down with a soft clink. “Aurora, this isn’t about your capability. You’re one of the best enforcers I have, but this job is too important to risk anything less than perfection.” Fuck his perfection. I scoffed and my blood was boiling. “And you think Marco is the answer to that? That asshole, who you know I haven’t worked with in years?”“Yes, I do,” he replied firmly, lea

MARCO I had seen her hours ago, hiding behind the glass separator of the Romano mansion, and every bone in my body wanted to drag her out and kiss her lips blue and paint her ass red to make her feel every agonising hour I’d spent without her for these three years. Three fucking years. She took up and left, without so much of a goodbye. Not that I deserved it but I would have eventually given her the truth once the dust had settled. Aurora needed to know that there was another side of the story of what had really happened that night, and all I was doing was protecting her, but as always, she did not wait. I was so angry, so hurt and broken that I’d have taken her scorching rage and indifference any day rather than not seeing her at all. I knew she was hurt, too, for that night three years ago. And she deserved to know more than what the four-minute and seventeen-second video clip had shown, but she could have given me the time. Instead of doing something so brash and reckles

AURORAI have dealt with men far dirtier, more lethal and criminal than the whore I have been asked to capture and torture. It was like one of those warm-up matches you play before you get to the big one. Not that I minded playing the warm-up, but I was bored. “Will you fucking shut up?” I asked, kicking her chair before landing a punch against her jaw. There were black shadows around her eyes already that I had deepened with time, but what I hated the most was her crying all the time. I liked her for a brief second when she gave me the small chase but other than that, she was no fucking fun. And I really wanted to have that fun.But I also had to heed Viktor’s warning that she should not be so broken because he had plans for her and when Viktor Romano has plans for anyone, even the Devil would not interfere. And then when Viktor barged into her cell with his woman, I knew my job was done.XXXSammy, Mia and I chatted alongside the pool, making me realise how clueless Mia was rega

AURORA I didn’t know the name of the magic pill Sammy gave me the next morning but somehow, I felt fresh as a daisy. Considering the night we had, I wondered if I was going to lie in my own vomit the next day. Thankfully, it didn’t happen. I grabbed my phone, going through the messages Viktor had left me last night and also a bunch of files detailing some chick named Nora. Apparently, she slept with Dominic and got close to the family. I didn’t bother how she pissed Viktor off but given the way he wanted me to ‘take care’ of the problem, I was guessing that she had royally fucked with Viktor to incur his wrath. Strolling down to the office, I didn’t bother knocking and barged in. Dominic and Viktor were hunched over the table, frowning over something. As soon as they registered my presence, Dominic rolled his eyes. “Do you ever fucking knock?” He wasn’t least bit surprised to see, especially when he nagged me the entire time to come back probably because Viktor had already inf

A U R O R AI stepped out of the airport and stood out there for a long moment.When the cold wind touched my skin, I absorbed the familiarity of the feeling. This was Chicago. This was home, even when the haunting memories kept me away, I longed for it. I just didn’t realize until now. I hailed a cab and headed for the first destination I had planned. It would not be an easy one, I knew, but I had to. I searched for the right words all along the cab ride, coming up with nothing when the cab came to a halt. Grabbing the small duffle, I paid and got out. I thought of calling or dropping a text, I didn’t know how it would be received. Also, what would I say? What could I possibly say that would make three years worth of the mess go away? So I waited around, lounging on the chair of the small room and hoped for the best.I had almost dozed off when I heard the door unlatch and turned around. Sammy, too, paused at the threshold, surprise etched all over her features before she blinked it

A U R O R AThree years later.It was just one of those days in Mexico.The entire room was a mess and I did not make it a point to clean the same. Partly because I had never stayed in one place for far more than necessary and also that I never wanted any apartment to feel like home. I had pushed myself so far out of my comfort zone in the last three years that mundane life made me restless. I never wanted to be comfortable again or relaxed. Been there, done that. I’d fear that if I do, I’d end up shattered or dead. Three years ago, I chose to be sent to this country to eliminate the threat in Chicago and slowly, I did. After I had left Chicago, there were two more attacks and the third was taken care of by Marco, as I was informed. The setback send a rippling effect in Mexico as the Carillo Cartel set up new strategies. Unfortunately, they did not realize that their fucking villas were wired. I’d been employed as a maid, getting the easy access into their homes. I had a few years

A U R O R ATwo days laterThe phone rang incessantly as I drove through the streets of Chicago. It is from Viktor’s office. Since he was in no position to deal with the daily shit, Marco and I decided to take up the matters but individually. We divided the responsibilities geographically and took up the issues as and when required so that neither Viktor nor Dominic has to bother themselves. But, apparently, the idiots at Viktor’s office did not understand the difference between taking orders and executing them. They would call a hundred times a day, seeking instructions on frivolous things and would strum the last of my nerves until I would pick up a damn baseball bat and struck against their empty heads.I ignored the first few rings but when they did not stop calling for 10 minutes, I picked up.“What now?”“Ma’am,” came a stammering voice from the other end. “There has been a blast at the warehouse.” I slammed the brake so hard, my body jerked forward and the car came to a halt.

A U R O R A What is the definition of loss and suffering to people like us? A few weeks ago, my misery had peaked to a primed spot. I had mourned, raged and cried over the loss of a man whom I loved, marinated in grief and wallowed in self-pity. There were so many stages of my suffering that I had believed it to be real, but the one unfolding before my eyes transcended all the other horizons of loss and suffering. Before me, there were two parents, howling over their son’s body. Mrs. Romano cupped his boy’s face as if she were trying to coax him into waking up while Alessandro Romano, the man known to be invincible to Chicago, were bested down by Stefan’s death. He stood stoically, but it was his red, void eyes that spoke volumes. The sight was harrowing. I did not even have the strength to reach out to Sammy. She could barely stand or even breathe in the wake of her loss. Stefan was everything to her, to this family. The youngest, spoiled and beloved. She shook violently, cryi
