Their Fatal Obsession TWENTY-FIVE
FlorianTo Drew's credit, he didn't try and chastise or even pepper me with questions, he simply nodded, the action more out of respect. "You're an honorable man, Florian. I always admired that about you. I still do. You were never cut from the same cloth I was. Sure, we ran the streets together as kids, fighting the system. That wasn't unusual. At least you had some kind of a family. You know, I thought once that I could be like you. I just..." Drew sighed. "Look. The past is gone for both of us. No sense reliving it."The pain in his voice was the same as I'd remembered fifteen years before, when he'd been forbidden to spend time around my family. He'd been two years older and I'd looked up to him like an older brother. My father had called him a thug. I didn't know then that my father was the real thug, using his status within the upper echelon of law enforcement to build his own empire.With his influential and powerful friends.He used the same kind of threats the Mafioso family,

FlorianFearJesus. Lucian had wrapped the past together in his need for revenge against me.Drew stopped, slapping his hand on the doorjamb. "You know what? This is bull shit. I don't know what possessed you to abduct a woman, especially one as talented and decent as Serena, but you can keep your reasons to yourself. I will give you one piece of advice, whether you want to hear it or not. She's a special lady and she doesn't deserve some psychopath taking her to God knows where. You forget, I know what these kind of fuckers do to women. Kingpins, Saudi princes, ex cops. They're all the same in their sadistic needs.""And you honestly think we're any different?""Wow. That chip you're wearing is like a noose around your neck, Florian. Whoever you're working for is sick and demented. Breaking her down. He means breaking her spirit, stripping away her heart and soul." He snorted. "Yeah, that's exactly what I've always wanted to do in my fuckin life. Do you think that's going to ease the

Florian"So you're going to kill me?" Anatoli asked, a lilt in his voice.I hadn't noticed Anatoli when I walked into the room. Instead of sitting in front of the roaring fire, he stood in front of one of the windows, gazing out at the same view I'd been locked onto. His accent seemed heavier, perhaps more so given the drink he had in his hand. We were all exhausted, the drive long and arduous.He noticed my surprise and laughed. "I heard you talking with Drew. My intent is not to hurt the girl that you both seem so fond of. She is very beautiful. A taste I won't mind.""Said like a true barbarian." The nasty retort was all I could manage."You're right, Florian. I am a true barbarian. What does that make you or your...friend?""No denying," I said as I glared at him.He gave me a once over before turning his attention back to the outdoors. "Your friend doesn't like you very much."I walked closer to the bar, lifting the open bottle of bourbon. He'd obviously had more than one drink a

FlorianI thought about what he was saying, the puzzle pieces not meshing together. What I did know is that I needed to make some alternative decisions. Flushing out everything he knew was first on my list. If he had any knowledge about the person or persons heading the Trust, becoming his ally would be important. "You know more about this than you're letting on. Who the hell are you really? You're not some Russian punk hell bent on making a fortune in America. I also doubt that you're simply paying off a debt. If you are, it's not to a member of the Bratva. This isn't their style in the least. Given your level of vehemence, Toli, that means you have a vendetta against this Master. If I were to guess further, I'd say you were once a man of importance back in the Soviet Union. Slumming it here is merely an act." The single tick in the corner of his mouth gave him away. Then he became stone faced once again."How astute," he said with disgust in his tone. "But useless information.""Tha

FlorianThe sound of footsteps stopped our conversation. When Drew walked in, I locked eyes once again with the Russian. "A group," I repeated."Hmmm... Seems like I've missed a conversation," Drew said. He noticed our drinks and lifted a single eyebrow. "A little early in the day, but what the hell. I'll join you." He made himself a drink and we remained quiet. "Now, tell me what is going on?""It would seem that Anatoli knows more about the real reason we were enlisted on this particular mission," I said quietly, controlling my emotions. We were nothing but pawns."Meaning?" Drew asked. He leaned against the bar, glancing at Toli."Meaning the man who is hunting you, Drew is the very one who's pulling the strings on this operation, all the way down the pike to me. Have you heard of the Trust?" I kept my words even. There were far too many pieces of the puzzle to fill in.Exhaling, Drew looked at Toli, seething in a way then shot his gaze in my direction. "Yeah, I've heard of them."

Florian"Until we know what we're dealing with, we learn to trust each other. We also need to tell Serena the truth.""There is no way she'll believe us." Drew doubled over, shaking his head several times. "Hell, I don't believe this bullshit. Why go to all this trouble to goad a man like Santana?""Because the man we're discussing is a sadistic fuck with a love for developing creative methods of eradicating his enemies. This is nothing to him but a game. I suggest we all keep this in mind.""If what I know is accurate, Dioletti has been considering expanding his operation, perhaps infringing on the mystery man's holding. For once, I agree with the Russian," I said. "We need to beat the asshole at his own game.""There's more. I can tell," Drew chided, throwing his attention toward the Russian.Toli walked toward the window. "There are many layers to this game, Drew." He hesitated, before continuing. "Serena reminds me of my wife. Beautiful and so bold, a flower ready to open up to th

SerenaDisgusted. I was repulsed with myself to the extent my head was killing me. The shame remained, skittering around my mind like a dagger waiting to cut me into ribbons. I'd been locked into a room, albeit an incredible and very beautiful room, by three men who'd abducted me.There was no cage, no steel harnesses attached to the ceiling, although I hadn't seen the entire house. Anything was possible. I had no idea what to expect, the yin and yang of the situation keeping me teetering on the edge. They acted as if they didn't want to hurt me then made certain any infraction was met with punishment.The glamorous space could be nothing more than another method of breaking me down. I'd had enough criminal psychology courses to know the classic signs. I was clammy, my head aching, and I was sick to my stomach with fear and worry. I wasn't going to talk my way out of this, that was certain.Even worse, I could still feel Florian's hands all over me, the brutal way he'd slammed me agai

SerenaI forced myself to glance in another direction, controlling my breathing. Another laugh pushed past my lips. "I wish you'd just kill me if that's what your intent is.""Our intent is not to kill you," the Russian said almost casually."However, you do need to accept what's happening to you," the bounty hunter muttered."Accept. Of course. Sure. Why not?" I choked out the words."Clean this up. Put everything away," Florian instructed. "While I understand you have questions, and they will be answered, you are still required to follow our rules. Once you've changed into more appropriate attire, we'll be waiting. We'll talk then. There is no way you can escape, so don't bother trying. And Serena. We will be watching."Rules. Rules. Rules. Fuck the rules!The door was closed with a hard thud, only this time, there was no click of the lock. However, I was being reprimanded like a little girl.And oddly enough, I obeyed his command, moving slowly in an effort to hang everything just

SerenaI heard voices—all male and very dark. And angry. Shifting, I winced then opened my eyes, pain shifting behind my sockets. "Oh." I clenched them shut, trying to make sense of what had happened.The van.Breaking free.Being caught.Wrecking.Fuck..."I'm not a damn mechanic, but I'll see what I can do." Drew said, huffing."She's lucky she didn't get herself killed," Anatoli added. His tone was less demanding, softer and laced with concern.An image floated into my mind of Florian's face. He'd known all along I would attempt to escape. Maybe his actions had even been to dare me to try. I wouldn't put anything past him.I wanted to be angry, but I was too exhausted, my eyelids heavy."She might have a concussion, which is why we need to try and keep her awake." Florian's voice was the angriest of all.I shuddered hearing his tone."Then why the hell did you let her sleep all these hours for God's sake?" Anatoli snapped.How long had I been sleeping? I was even more anxious."She

SerenaBastard.Asshole.I was entirely too emotional, drained to the point my fingers were numb.Just like my heart.I knew Florian couldn't be completely trusted, but I'd hoped for a crack in his shell. He was also in love with someone else. Lily. I'd overheard the conversation he'd had with Drew. In fact, it appeared that both men were in love with her. I was sick to my stomach, knots pooling deep inside, twisting and turning. Even breathing had become difficult. I wiped away the falling tears, determined to reign in my emotions, but every thought I had included Florian.His dark demeanor.His intense blue eyes.His voluptuous lips.I pressed the back of my hand across my mouth to keep from sobbing. Despite their assurances that they were now going to protect me, I couldn't believe them. Drew and Florian had ulterior motives. Even Anatoli's story seemed surreal, as if he'd found the idea straight out of a romantic thriller. I couldn't risk trusting any of them.I needed to take thi

Florian"What are your dreams?" Serena asked.She'd been so quiet since the experience in the hot tub, perhaps basking in the glory of the hard fucking as well as another round of discipline, but I sensed she remained on edge. The question itself wasn't something I would have expected.Or wanted to answer."I don't have any burning dreams. I learned a long time ago that life always serves up a curve ball so why bother.""I feel so sorry for you. Life isn't worth living without a dream or two. Even I have them." She huffed and swirled her wine. "Although I'm beginning to wonder why myself. Still, you seem so unfulfilled, so sad."I took a swig of my drink, reflecting on the last few years. "Don't feel sorry for me. I chose my career and my way of life.""A cop spending his life working undercover. I can't even imagine what it must be like, the extreme and constant danger, no real home to come home to after a long day of work.""Honorable work, or so I thought and there are certain perk

FlorianWith every smack, her body quivered, the force pressing her hard against the smooth edge. I spanked her upper thighs several times then couldn't resist, slipping ever finger into her tight little hole."Oh. Fuck!" She jerked up, panting and opening her legs wider. Begging me. Pleading with me to provide even more pleasure."Good girls are treated to the finer things in life. Ecstasy. Pleasure," I said roughly then removed my fingers, smacking her several times. "Bad girls are punished often and severely. Do you understand.""Uh-huh. I mean yes, sir." Her words were almost inaudible above the roaring water, but I heard them. I felt them. I hungered for them.I continued the spanking then shoved my fingers into her asshole. The sublime expression on her face was incredible, the strangulated moans slipping past her pursed lips fueling the three men who owned her. I could tell Drew and Anatoli were also losing patience, their savage needs bridging the surface."Now that you're pro

FlorianShe pumped her hand up and down my cock, trying to maintain her own level of control even as I added a second and third finger, plunging them deep inside. I curled my fingers just enough, the whimper slipping past her mouth such a delicious reward."Do you like that?" I asked, knowing the answer."Oh. Yes. Yes!" Her strangled words faded into the roar of the jets, but I could see the sublime look on her face, the quiver of her lower lip.Drew cupped her cheek, forcing her to stare into his eyes. "You won't forget about me, sunshine. I was the first to claim you."I could see the barbaric smile on his face as he captured her mouth. Then using only one hand, he lifted her halfway out of the water, yanking her down until his cock was fully seated inside. He held her as she shook uncontrollably, his mouth opening and closing as the kiss continued.Serena struggled at first, slapping her hand against him then sinking against his chest, her breasts crushed against his skin.He rubbe
Their Fatal Obsession FIFTY-SIX
FlorianEvery word Serena whispered from her luscious lips had a profound effect on me, ripping at pieces of my armored shield. I sensed the others staring at me, watching the way I took control, the alpha dog in action. I yanked one of her legs around my hips, dragging her head toward mine in a possessive manner. I might be required to share her with the others, but she would understand that as long as she remained under our protection, I would continue taking charge.Everything had changed.My thoughts.My desires.My mission.I would give Serena back her life, even if it meant losing mine.The instant I crushed over her mouth, a calming wave sliced through every muscle, easing the tension. She was my drug, the only person who could contain the beast clawing at the surface. I thrust my tongue inside her sweet mouth as I ran my hand down to cup her bottom, squeezing, my fingers digging in.I had an intense urge to discipline her, solidifying the understanding that she was required to

FlorianThe lower-level deck still had an incredible view of the mountains, and the oversized hot tub was a centerpiece. The area was breathtaking, even though my mood remained grim. The plan had been pushed into motion, one I prayed I wouldn't regret. What limited information Toli had discovered indicated that The Raven had been very active during the last couple of days, silencing several of his enemies. From what I'd been able to determine, he was ceremoniously cleaning the house.While the details were bloody, they seemed distinct from our situation. What he couldn't determine was just how close Lucian was to the Raven in any regard. I still felt like a huge piece of the puzzle was missing.I couldn't take my eyes off her, studying the way she interacted with Toli.Drew handed me a drink, lifting a single eyebrow. "He likes her. That must piss you off.""I have no reason to be pissed off, Drew. She is her own woman.""Need I remind you that she's our hostage?" He shook his head, c

FlorianSerena had difficulty accepting the words. I could see her mind furrowing, trying to figure out why I was full of such rage. She really didn't want to know the answer.She nodded several times, dragging her fingers across the island as she moved around to the other side. "You know, I met a boy once with the most intense blue eyes. He was beautiful in every way, curly dark hair and a smile that could light up an entire room, but he only smiled twice during the limited time we were together. He was afraid and haunted, so angry inside but also such a sweet and endearing kid. He was sexy and he didn't know it, so intelligent, but quiet and shy. I fell hard for that boy. I used to dream about him at night, like teenagers do, but I knew he was something special."The words echoed, matching the thudding of my heart. Swallowing, I kept my eyes on her as she moved toward the refrigerator, removing items. I could care less about food. I had no desire to eat. I was simply stunned."My fa

FlorianWhen the floorboard outside the kitchen door creaked, I almost reached for my gun.“Good morning.” Serena stood in the doorway, a slight smile on her face.As I’d had happen every time I’d seen her, there wasn’t a part of me that wasn’t electrified, my cock swelling and my balls tightening. Tasting her the night before, fucking her had been amazing. Doing it in front of the lens had been excruciating.“Did you sleep?” I asked, trying to avoid her prying eyes but I could tell she remained nervous, albeit less skittish.“I did.” She took several steps further inside, darting her eyes back and forth from one to the other. “Where’s Toli?”“Working.” I kept my answer succinct, but the guilt settled into my system, hitting me hard. “Look, I want to apologize about last night.”She rushed forward, placing two fingers across my lips. Just the simple touch was enough to restart my engine, creating an almost desperate need to have her. “You don’t have to explain. I just finished prosecu
