POV Xander After I watched Bella walk away, I noticed AJ and Chad looking at her ass and that was it for me. I slammed my fist down and looked at them. My eyes darkened. " Bella's mine. Don't either of you two even think about it! Chad, did I not teach you a good enough lesson on Wednesday?" They took a look at their bills, then both of them gave the other a look. " Dude, you've seen the ass on her. I'm sorry, but if your ass isn't hitting that, then I say she's open season. Chad agrees with me, right Chad?" I laughed, then grabbed AJ by his shirt and pulled him from his chair. " You don't think I can hit that, is that it?" AJ shared a glance toward the kitchen. " What's happened to you, Saint? Usually you'd already have hit that and be on to your next victim. What's so different about Bella? I mean sure she's hot as fuck but this isn't like you. You even broke up with Samantha Craig." I just smiled to myself. Soon they will know. Soon everyone will know. Bella Queen is mine. My jaw
POV Bella My feet couldn’t take me away quickly enough. I could hear him in the distance calling my name, but I wasn’t going to play his game anymore. I would never allow him to use me, ridicule me, bully me ever again! I got to the gates and as they were busy with the commotion he was causing by yelling at me, I snuck through and headed off down the road. Constantly looking behind me, my vision was blurring due to the tears that poured out. How could I be so stupid? I fell for it and I told myself, told him it would never happen, yet, here I am in this predicament because of my foolishness. Because my stupid heart wanted to believe that he actually wanted something. I dialed numbers getting busy signals until finally my aunt Vicky answered. I told her through tears what had happened and explained to her that I would meet her at the nearest gas station. It was time for me to once and for all say goodbye to Harlowe. I was done, though, and if his damned uncle wouldn’t OK with my tran
POV Xander I was out searching all over for her after she ran away from my home. Why would she run away like that? What the fuck happened? I thought everything was going good. Well, until fucking Sam showed up and messed up everything. I couldn’t think, I couldn’t eat, and she haunted me in my dreams. The look she gave me was the worst. She looked so upset when she looked at me. I am just going to have to get it out of her when I see her. I know what she said but she knows I can’t stay away from her. After Nate showed up to help me out in the search, I let Nate know what happened and he is checking in on her while I meet with my father. Another meeting that I MUST attend. Bella will be turning eighteen soon and the preparations must be made. My father is with the lawyers right now and I am patiently in his study with him when Nate calls. I declined the call. Nate knows better than to interrupt business. I am listening to my father go on about the arrangements and finalizing the agre
POV Bella The next morning... I was in my cabin when there was a knock on the door. I slowly opened my eyes, still adjusting, and slowly I got up, looking around and not seeing my auntie. I turned on my bed and threw the pillow over my head. " Go away. I'm not hungry." The knocking continued and I twisted as it became more consistent. I got up and hurried to the door, flinging it open to yell at the person on the other side, but when I saw who it was, I froze. It was him. Xander look-alike. He was standing outside my door. He hadn't noticed me yet, so I quickly ran back inside and threw on a robe and blew in my hand to see if I had bad breath. I don't know why I cared. I mean he was probably here for my aunt anyway. I opened the door but held it with my hand and peered out at him. His eyes met mine and he smiled his debanair smile as he ran a hand through his hair. " Piccola Princesspessa". I crossed my arms across my chest and looked at him. It was really annoying that he looked so
POV Weston LeoneI never saw someone faint before but here I am in my limousine with this very alluring female in my arms, her body limp. Obviously no one told her about the marriage contract. That makes me feel livid. Someone should have told her. I have to admit that when my father, the great Nicodemus Robert Saint, came to me on my graduation from high school and told me that he had a contract of marriage for me, I thought he had lost his mind. At the time I was in a serious relationship with Charity McMichaels, we were planning on getting married that next spring after graduation, so when my big shot father waltzed into my graduation party with his hot shot lawyers I was very displeased.The nerve of this man, who I saw once in a blue fucking moon, to tell me that I am supposed to marry some mafia princess nobody from Harlowe who just happened to be five years younger than me, what the fuck? I had absolutely no say in it if I was to keeppeace between the families? Her father als
When she showed up that morning on the tarmac, I was taken back by how someone who was wearing a halter top with a pair of ripped jeans and sneakers could look so sexy. She was definitely not what I was expecting but you would hear no complaints from me. My eyes wandered up her body under my sunglasses. So this is the Isabella I have heard about for the last three years. Oh yeah, she was hot. You coming, sweetheart?" I said as I started to make my way to the plane, she was still not moving. I could tell that she was checking me out, too. I smiled at that. I took off my sunglasses and met her sapphire blue eyes. “ You know it’s not polite to stare, Piccola Principessa.” I said to her she continued to gawk at me. I entered the plane and went to speak with Fabrizo before she boarded, right now she was back there with Doatella. As I entered his room he looked up. We talked for a while about the upcoming plans and then I made my way back to the cabin and watched as she sat down, taking
POV Xander Saint I walked into my uncle Mattius’ office for the twentieth time today and still no sign of Bella. How the hell my father can’t find one girl is beyond me.I am so frustrated with this whole situation, not to mention this whole brother thing he laid on me. It’s just so crazy with everything that has happened. “ How can you not find her, dad?” I looked at him and he turned around in his chair.” We’re looking everywhere, son” If he really was looking everywhere he should have found her by now. It’s getting harder and harder for me to even get out of bed in the morning. Something is missing. Bella’s beautiful smile as she walks to school, how she would stare at me with those doe eyes that made me want to devour her, even her sassiness. I fucking miss her. I have to find her. I left my uncle’s office and went straight to Nate’s. He bugged her cousin Veronica’s phone so we’ve been listening in on her calls hoping Bella will call her or she’ll call Bella. So far it’s been a d
POV Bella Queen It’s finally here, my eighteenth birthday. I thought things would be a whole lot more different than this. Part of me still can’t get over everything. Weston is a great guy. He treats me like a queen but I’m not in love with him and I am pretty sure he isn’t in love with me either. I know my grandfather really likes him but what about my feelings, huh? We've gone out on dates and every time he kisses me I feel bad like I’m cheating or something. Xander Saint never was my boyfriend though,no, he was just a bully who liked to play sick twisted games and made a bet to get me into bed by graduation. Asshole. I actually fell for his little trick, too. All those times when he would grab me and makeout with me in the abandoned classroom, shower, and closets he was just doing it for a fucking bet. “ Well you don’t have to worry about that anymore. He’ll never look for you and even if he does, he’ll never find you” I said out loud to no one in particular..In all honesty I don
POV Xander Saint I led her through the darkened house, my senses guiding me to the bedroom. The room was dimly lit by a single nightlight, casting eerie shadows on the walls. I pulled back the covers and pushed Bella down onto the mattress, crawling on top of her. She arched her back, her breasts peeking out from the lace of her bra, her nipples hard and peaked. I lowered my head, taking one nipple into my mouth, rolling it between my teeth as I sucked gently. She moaned, her hands tangling in my hair. I reached down, guiding my cock to her entrance, feeling the slick heat of her body as I thrust inside. She was so wet, so ready for me. I began to move, my hips sliding in a steady rhythm against hers. Her nails dug into my shoulders, her legs wrapped around my waist, urging me deeper. I could feel the connection between us, the way our bodies seemed to melt together as I moved inside her. Just then we heard footsteps and the doorknob jingled. I looked down at her and put my finger t
POV Xander Saint As I watched Sofia and Hunter I knew she was in good hands. My youngest daughter was engaged and now i would have two Masterson men as my son-in-laws. I couldn't help but smile as I thought about the day they had met. It seemed like just yesterday she was a little girl playing with her dolls and now she was all grown up, about to start a new chapter in her life. I knew she would make an amazing wife and mother someday. As the party went on, the guests continued to mingle and share their well-wishes with the happy couple. Hunter's family was just as loving and supportive as our own, and it was clear that they shared a special bond. I could see the love between them, the way they looked at each other, and the way they touched each other. It was a beautiful thing to witness. i looked at my wife Bella and my heart starting beating. Even now she is the most beautiful woman in my life. "Honey, you're beaming. What's going on?" she asked, her blue eyes filled with love a
POV Sofia Saint I can't believe I'm here with Hunter. We had kept in touch ever since daddy made us move away. When we were younger he gave me a promise ring promising me he would only be with me. As I remembered last night I felt blushed, he was so attentive, so sweet, so understanding. I wake up to the feeling of his strong arms around me. The sun peeking through the curtains and painting a warm glow on my face. I open my eyes and see Hunter's face so close to mine. His messy hair falling over his forehead, making him look so handsome. His hazel eyes meet mine and he gives me the most charming smile. I feel my heart skip a beat. "How is my, angel?" He asks me and places a kiss on my lips then pulls me closer to his body. "I'm good," I reply, feeling a little shy. "You're so warm and it's so cozy here." He chuckles against my face then licks his lips," It's cozy between your legs, too." I feel myself blush again, my heart beating faster. He always has this effect on me. "Hunte
POV Hunter Masterson The lobby is dimly lit, the scent of lavender filling the air. I hand the keys to the valet and lead Sofia to the elevator, my heart racing with anticipation. We step inside and ride up to our floor, my hand firmly entwined with hers. The door to our room slides open and I guide her inside, flicking on the light as we enter. The room is tastefully decorated, with a king-sized bed in the center. A plush chaise lounge sits beside the window, overlooking the city skyline. I walk over to the mini-bar, pouring us each a glass of champagne. I hand one to Sofia and take a sip of mine before setting it down on the nightstand.There's a jacuzzi and a private pool and I look at her with anticipation. She's holding the bag from the lingerie shop. "Would you like to go outside and try it out, or..." I say, my voice trailing off. Sofia sets her drink down on the nightstand and crosses the room to where I stand. She reaches
POV Hunter Masterson " Shh, baby you're going to get us caught." I tell Sofia as I sneak her inside my room. My uncle is right down the hall. He's been letting me stay with him over break from college. I pull her inside and lock the door. She looks at me and I grab her waist. " I had to see you, Hunter. I missed you." She says and she takes a seat on my futon. "You smell good." I say as I close the distance between us. I take in a deep breath, inhaling the scent of her perfume. It's intoxicating. "How was your flight?" " It was all right. My daddy thinks I am on my way to Tennessee for my field trip." She says as she watches me. My heart skips a beat when I see her. She's so beautiful. I reach up and cup her face in my hands, my thumbs brushing away a loose strand of hair. "I'm glad you're here." I tell her, leaning in and kissing her. The kiss deepens, our tongues dancing together. I can feel her heart racing beneath my hands, and it only makes me want her more. I pull her close
POV Nick Saint News of Natalia's wedding spread fast. It got me thinking of my relationship with Katarina De Luca. As I stared into her green eyes I couldn't help but feel weak. This woman was my weakness, she knew she could have anything her heart desired. She leaned in, pressing her lips to mine gently. "Thank you, Katarina. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me." Our kiss deepened, and we were lost in the moment, forgetting everything else around us. Her soft, warm skin felt like silk beneath my fingertips as I traced patterns across her cheek. Her scent, a mixture of jasmine and vanilla, filled my nostrils, making it impossible for me to focus on anything else. I pulled her closer, my body pressed against hers. Her breasts were firm and perfect against my chest, and I couldn't help but wonder what they would feel like if I could touch them right now. The feel of her lips against mine was intoxicating, sending waves of desire coursing through my veins. I could feel my
POV Natalia Saint I watch Jax as he gets out of our bed, his body naked and climbs into bed pulling me into his arms. I could never get used to this, to him. He leans down and takes my nipple between his teeth and I moan, arching my back into him. The way he makes me feel, so wanted and desired, it's unlike anything I've ever experienced. He kisses his way down my stomach, making me writhe beneath him, and I know he can feel how wet I am. When he finally reaches my core, I gasp, my hips lifting off the bed, needing him closer. His fingers tease me, circling my entrance, before he finally enters me. I cry out, feeling him fill me in one deep stroke. He begins to move, his body sliding against mine in perfect rhythm, and I can't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion. This man, who has saved my life and given me a love unlike any other, is about to be my husband. The next day, we walk hand in hand to the beach, the sun warming our skin as we make our way towards the water. My heart i
POV Jaxon 'Jax' Masterson As I looked down at Natalia sleeping soundly, I could no longer contain my desire for her. She was sleeping in my t-shirt and it was causing my cock to strain against my shorts. Her blonde hair cascaded down my pillow like a princess. My Princess. God, she was so beautiful. I brushed my mouth against her neck and she moaned."You're awake," I whispered, kissing her again. She yawned and stretched before opening her eyes. "Hey," she mumbled, her voice still groggy with sleep. "What time is it?" I glanced over at the alarm clock on my nightstand. "It's almost noon. You've been sleeping for a few hours." Natalia sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Oh, God. I must've been really tired." I smiled at her and reached over to pull her back into my embrace. "You're with me now. You don't have to worry about anyone else hurting you." She nestled her head against my chest, her breath warm against my skin. "I know, Jax. I love you." I closed my eyes, savoring
POV Xander Saint I woke up to a cold sweat and my beloved Bella being taken from me. I felt helpless as I watched her being carried away from me and put into the van. It was so surreal. “ Bella! Bella.” I said and my body shook, the tears streaming down my cheeks. My Bella was gone and I would probably never see her again. “ Shh,shh. It’s all right. Rest son.” Every part of me ached and I turned my head away from him. Dammit I was trying to be strong but I was feeling so hopeless. I wanted my Bella with me. “ Sir, they have arrived.” I heard one of the guards say. Who have arrived? I watched my father as he left the room with urgency then slowly I drifted off to sleep. As I slept I had the strangest dream. I dreamt that Bella was in the hospital room being checked over by nurses. “ Misses Saint, your injuries are going to need attending to but for the most part you’re healing quite nicely.” The orderly said and then left us. “ I don’t care about me. What about my husband? I-Is
