Arya's POV

It felt like an attainment seeing myself fly a private jet.

I never thought that could be possible my whole life.

We landed shortly afterwards.

Wow, I found myself in yet another island.

How rich could this family be? 

Lucas held my hand and we headed into one of the buildings.

"You might find them a bit out of place but don't let anyone get to you alright? you will only survive this easily if you appear difficult," he whispered to me as we proceeded inside.

By "them" Is he by any chance referring to his family? 

Why did he sound like they are dangerous or something? 

Why is he just letting me know now? 

What have I gotten myself into? 

I suddenly noticed his hand on mine tightened as he squeezed it gently.

"It's okay, I will never let anything happen to you babydoll, you don't have to be scared," he whispered.

I guess he noticed how tensed his statement made me.

And why does he keep referring to me as "babydoll?" 

I'm quite certain that I was clear when I had told him my name.

And there is something about how the name rolls off his tongue and the look on his face whenever he says it.

We walked in to a full house, I guess they were already aware of our coming.

Four heavily built men just like Lucas, were seated at the living room.

Gracious goodness! This is a family full of hot men! One would literally pee on themselves if approached by heavily hung men like this.

This was the major headache I was having seeing myself close to Lucas, his spectacular physique could make you lose sense of reasoning and crave for him to do things to you, I've prepared double standards of resistance to be able to escape his charm.

I'm guessing they do not have a girl seeing there's none sitting with them.

"Look who is here, my son!" A man sitting on a throne like couch a bit far from them squealed happily, I'm guessing he is the father, he wasn't left out in the handsomeness, he looked as though he was aging backwards, good looks sure do run in their veins.

With the look on his brothers faces as their father hailed Lucas, I instantly realized what's going on.

Lucas seems to be the favorite son.

They all stood up with a not so bright smiles on their faces and did the brotherly hug thingy.

"And who is this goddess you have here?" one of them asked.

I didn't fail to notice the look he's been giving me since we got here, I just chose to ignore it.

"Arya, my woman," he replied and wrapped his hand around my waist.

"Babydoll, meet my brothers, Jayden, Hardin, Ryan and Martin," he pointed at each one as he called out their names and they shook hands with me.

My body suddenly tensed up as he mentioned Martin, the sneaky one who's been giving me the creepy stares.

"Welcome to the family beauty," he said stretching out his hand for a handshake and I reluctantly accepted.

His grip lingered before he finally released me, not without licking his lips.

Is he not scared to do this in front of Lucas?

Now I clearly understand what he meant by "you might find them a bit out of place,"

Lucas pulled me with him and we walked towards his father.

"My son!" He hailed standing up and they did a signature handshake.

Wait what? They are this close? Isn't it going to be an issue with the rest of his brothers?

They exchanged pleasantries and he turned towards me.

"Dad, I brought home, my woman," he said beaming all smiles. "babydoll, meet my dad." 

"Hello sir, it's nice to meet you," I greeted stretching out my hand for a handshake.

Surprisingly, he pulled me into a warm hug instead. 

"Oh darling, you are a beauty to behold, Lucas has eyes only for good things, always makes me proud," he smiled at me.

"C'mon everyone, let's head to the dining now, we have a lot to celebrate," he said.

*

I twisted uncomfortably on my seat as I felt Martin's hot gaze on me throughout the dinner.

I almost let out a sharp cry of excitement when finally the dinner came to an end and everyone retired back to their room.

Finally away from his creepy eyes eating me up like I am some delicacy.

"You were excellent babydoll," Lucas whispered into my ear as we made our way to the room.

Now here comes the real problem, Lucas and I are sharing a room, how possible can that be? With a perverted guy like him, I won't be surprised if I wake up to his hands on my boobs or butts, he seems capable of anything.

I needed to do something.

Fast.

"Uhm... Can I take a walk around the island? I don't feel sleepy," I finally spoke up after careful consideration.

I intend to return when he's fast asleep.

"Sure, do you need me to come with you?" He asked.

"Oh no! You don't have to worry, I'll be okay," I quickly cut in.

I turned around sharply and strolled out of the room.

**

I walked around the island admiring the beauty of nature and wealth as the cool breeze relaxed my head, just like Lucas's island, everything around here is eye catching. 

Enough to keep me here till I'm sure Lucas has slept off.

Suddenly, a hand pulled me to a dark corner and slammed me against the wall.

I was about screaming when I saw the face clear, Martin.

"Hey, what are you doing? Let me go," I tried to struggle out of his grip but he was stronger than I am.

"What was it that he called you? Babydoll?" He smirked.

"You are one sexy lady, I can't take my eyes off you for a second," he whispered stroking my cheeks seductively.

His touch irritated me terribly.

I should have stayed back inside.

"I want you badly, Arya, I want you as mine," he said.

"What are you saying? I am your brother's woman," I spat angrily.

"He don't deserve you, shit! He isn't always going to get the best things, you are mine, it's only a matter of time before I take you away from him by any means possible," he gritted.

"I do not want to hear any of this Martin, I came out here for a bit of fresh breeze and I think I'm due now, let me go, I need to go back to my man," I sounded sternly staring back at him dead in the eyes.

I'm not gonna let him intimidate me, Lucas already warned me of this.

He chuckled and placed his hands on both sides of the wall caging me in-between.

"You heard the lady, she wants to go back to her man, let her go this instant, do you have a death wish?" I heard a voice roar behind us.

I snapped my head towards the direction of the voice to see Lucas standing there with his palms hurled up in a fist and his eyes as dark as I have never seen before.

    Arya's POV.Martin quickly pulled away from me and faced him with a smile on his face.Everything about this man is creepy as hell, I mean he has a smile on his face when he has just been caught trying to force himself on his brother's woman."Relax bro," I was only having a discussion with my future sister in law," he shrugged. "Oh yeah? Having a discussion with her caged in between your hands? That must really be some important discussion," Lucas snapped, the anger in his voice was undeniably evident.Okay, I don't like where this is going.I quickly walked over to Lucas and grabbed his hands, at this point, I wasn't concerned about how I felt as our hands came in contact, I just needed to get him out of here immediately before the situation escalated."Lucas, please let's go," I muttered staring at him with pleading eyes."Man, take your bitch and leave already," Martin suddenly blurted out.Wait, what?Did he just call me that?"What did you just call her?" Lucas gritted marching

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter six.

    Arya's POV. Lucas continued to pace to and fro the room, his breath so ragged, I could hear them from the edge of the bed where I sat. He's been on that since we returned to the room. "Get a good sleep, babydoll, we have a long trip ahead of us tomorrow," he casually spared me a glance before returning to his pacing. I truly wanted to get a good sleep, I was tired already from today's trip, and such drama that went down few minutes ago. I tried not to look at him further and just go to sleep like he had demanded. I really, really tried. But how could I ignore him when he was pacing furiously around the room, his jaw clenched so tight I thought it might snap? The tension in his shoulders, the way his fists were balled at his sides, and the quiet rage radiating from him... it was impossible to ignore. Lucas was a storm, and I was trapped in his eye. "Sit down," I finally spoke, my voice more uncertain than I wanted it to be. Oh goodness, what am I doing? He stopped pacing and

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter seven.

    Arya’s POVI stretched lazily, savoring the feel of the soft sheets beneath me. The warmth of sleep still clung to my body as I let out a small sigh, sinking deeper into the pillows. The bed felt emptier than before.Wait.I blinked groggily, my fingers searching the other side of the bed. Nothing. Lucas wasn’t there.Good.I didn’t know why I felt relieved. Maybe it was because being around him made me too aware of myself. He had this way of looking at me, speaking to me, twisting my words until they meant something entirely different.I pushed the thoughts aside and sat up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. The large room was quiet, the morning light seeping in through the half drawn curtains.A shower. That’s what I needed to prepare myself for the long trip ahead of me today.Yawning, I swung my legs over the bed, standing up and stretching once again. The extra robe I had thrown on last night slipped slightly off my shoulder, exposing more of my skin to the cool air. I shivered, ru

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter eight.

    Arya's POV.I had just finished brushing my hair when I heard the door click open. I turned, expecting a maid or maybe even the driver, but instead, my heart nearly leaped out of my chest when I saw him.Lucas strolled into the room with a tray of food in his hands, his movements effortlessly smooth, his gaze unreadable as usual. Even in the simplest actions, he carried himself with an undeniable air of dominance, like a man who always got what he wanted.“I brought breakfast,” he said casually, setting the tray on the small table beside the bed.I blinked in surprise. Lucas? Bringing food to me?He didn’t strike me as the type of man to do something like this for a woman.. at least, not without some kind of ulterior motive. And yet, here he was, looking as though this was the most natural thing in the world.“I… you didn’t have to,” I muttered, avoiding his gaze as I adjusted the sleeve of my dress.“I did,” he countered, his voice firm, leaving no room for argument. “I don’t want Ma

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter nine.

    Arya's POV.The hum of the jet engines had been nothing but background noise to the tumor simmering in my mind. I stared blankly out the window, watching the dark clouds swirl outside as the aircraft sliced through the sky. The whole trip had been a whirlwind.. Lucas’s dangerous family, his cockiness, Martin’s obsession, and that ridiculous fight that had me holding my breath the entire time. But now, something far more pressing weighed on me.The contract. My payment.The realization settled in like a heavy stone in my stomach.Lucas had hired me for a week, but we didn’t even stay a complete 24 hours at his family’s estate. Would he use that as an excuse not to pay me? Would he claim that since the trip was cut short, my contract was null and void?My heart hammered in my chest at the thought. I needed that money. Desperately.I stole a glance at Lucas, who was seated across from me, his fingers lazily drumming against the armrest. His sharp blue-green eyes were fixed on the file i

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter ten.

    Arya's POV.A loud knock sounded through the room, dragging me out of the deep sleep I had been lost in. I groaned, turning to my side, burying my face into the pillow as I tried to ignore it. But the knocking continued... Whoever was behind the knocking had no intentions of stopping. But, I myself had no intentions of standing up from the bed either. I needed to sleep some more. I was having such good time of my life. "Miss Arya," a soft voice called from the other side. "Sir Lucas wants you to join him for breakfast."Lucas.The sound of his name sent a sudden rush of awareness through my body, and I instantly sat up, blinking against the deep wave of sleep that was still washing over me.Breakfast?I glanced at the clock on the wall and realized just how late it was. I had been so exhausted from yesterday’s trip back that I must have slept through the entire morning. The fatigue still clung to my muscles."Tell him I'll be there in a moment!" I called back, rubbing the sleep from

    Arya's POV.I barely made it back to my room before I let out the breath I never knew I was holding. My heart pounded against my ribs, and my fingers trembled as I locked the door behind me.I could still feel the weight of Lucas’s gaze on me, the way his piercing eyes had followed my every movement at breakfast. Every time I looked up, he was watching me... his expression unreadable, his lips curled slightly in amusement, as if he was playing some secret game that only he knew the rules to.I had lost my appetite the moment I realized I was the object of his entertainment.This was a mistake.I never should’ve taken this job.I flopped onto the massive bed, gripping the sheets as if they could ground me. I have only been here for less than twenty four hours, and already, I felt trapped.Lucas Griffin is dangerous.Not in the obvious way... though his attitude alone was enough to make anyone’s blood run cold. But the true danger wasn’t in his power, his wealth, or even the violence h

    Arya's POV.I stood at the edge of the pool, arms crossed over my chest as I watched Lucas dive into the water with effortlessly. He swam up moments later, his dark hair slicked back, water streaming down his sculpted shoulders. My throat went dry.Why does he have to look like sin itself?He ran a hand over his face, shaking off the excess water before resting his piercing gaze on me. "Come on in," he called, his voice deep, smooth... almost coaxing.I hesitated, my arms tightening around myself. “Turn around.”He suddenly smirked. "What?" “I said turn around. I need to take my clothes off.”His smirk grew into a full blown grin. “Now, why would I do that when I have every right to watch?”I quickly shot him a hard glare. "Lucas..." “Relax, babydoll. It’s just a swimsuit. Nothing I haven’t seen before.”I couldn't hold back my gasp. "You have not seen me in a swimsuit before!”“Not yet.” He winked.God, he is so cornily annoying. And why the hell does my stupid body find it intrig

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter seventy one.

    Arya's POV.The silence in the dark room was unbelievable. Darkness lingered even though some light filtered in through a crack in the wall... it barely did anything to chase away the shadows inside me. I’d been here too long. Too long with nothing but my breath and my thoughts to keep me company.My eyes were sore from crying, and my wrists stung against the ropes, now slick with dried blood and sweat. I tried not to cry anymore...tears felt like a waste. But every time I remembered Lucas… every time I thought about him, about how he must be going out of his mind, my chest caved in again.Then I heard footsteps.That same gait. Slow, heavy, deliberate. My body went still. My heart paused for a second as the metal door groaned open.Martin.Ofcourse it's him. He didn’t look angry this time. His shoulders were slumped, his eyes… softer. Tired. Worn. Broken.He dragged a chair with a loud scrape across the dusty floor and sat in front of me. No mocking laughter. No bitter smirks. Just

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter seventy.

    Arya's POVI had no idea how long I had been submerged in the darkness again, but it felt heavier this time... like a curtain of grief had dropped around me. My breath came in shallow hitches as I sat motionless, too exhausted to even cry anymore. The ropes bit deeper into my wrists, now raw and sore, and every movement stung like a warning. I had lost all sense of time. There was no ticking clock, no chirping bird, no shifting sunlight. Only silence. Only the heavy sound of my own breathing and the pulsing fear inside my chest.I had almost drifted into that numb space again... where time and pain no longer mattered.... when I heard the door creak open.My body tensed involuntarily. Footsteps echoed across the warehouse, slow and deliberate, the sound bouncing off the hollow walls. My desperate heart leapt in my chest with hope... but that hope withered quickly when I saw his shoe appear again.Martin.The man who used to be just a background character in my life... now stood before

    Lucas's POV. The car had barely halted to a stop as soon as I drove into the mansion before I quickly rushed down and practically ran into the house.... To my woman... My soon to be wife.The scent of fresh flowers lingered faintly... Arya's touch. She’d been so particular about the type of lilies she wanted placed in the hallway. White, with a tinge of blush.“Arya?” I called out casually, expecting her to pop out from the kitchen or maybe come down the stairs with that insanely beautiful smile that had become my new favorite sight. “I’m back, babydoll.”No response.Strange.I loosened the top buttons of my shirt, unbuckled my watch, and dropped my keys on the credenza. The silence in the house was unsettling. Not even the faint shuffle of her feet. Usually, she’d either be humming while preparing something, or laying in wait for me on the couch.“Arya?” I called again, this time louder, walking toward the kitchen. The lights were off, no sign of her. The living room? Empty. Her ph

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter sixty eight.

    Arya's POV.A loud hysterical laughter suddenly blurted through his mouth, echoing all over the room.I tried to strain my eyes to at least, get a little glance at his face since a considerable amount of light had filtered into the room, but being in the darkness for the past few hours seemed to have punctured my eye lens making it seem as though I was staring into space despite how I hard I tried.But then, why does the voice sound so familiar? I mean, the darkness hasn't affected my ears too right?I quickly squeezed my eyes shut, taking in a deep breath, and remained still for a few seconds before snapping my eyes back open.That seemed to work as I started to make out a few things in the room, I got to realize that it wasn't a room but rather a warehouse, it was extremely large and empty, except for the few trashes littered around.Suddenly, the huge figure slowly squatted before me, bringing his face closer to mine, and peered into my face.A sharp gasp fled my mouth as I finally

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter sixty seven.

    Arya's POV.The cold air clawed at my skin as I sat bound to the a chair, my body aching in ways I had never known before. My arms were twisted behind me, my wrists bound so tightly with thick, scratchy rope that every movement sent a sharp, searing pain through my limbs. My legs were tied to the chair’s legs, and the rope around my ankles had rubbed the skin raw, sending a dull, relentless ache through my bones.I had long since stopped trying to break free. The more I struggled, the tighter the restraints dug into my skin, and all it did was drain the last reserves of energy I had left. My body slumped forward slightly, weak and exhausted, my breaths shallow and uneven.How long had I been here?I wasn’t sure anymore. Time had melted into an agonizing blur. My mind was slipping between consciousness and unconsciousness, the hunger in my belly twisting into unbearable knots. My lips were dry, cracked from dehydration, and my throat burned from the countless times I had screamed for h

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter sixty six.

    Arya’s POV.I quickly rushed into the bathroom, fixing a quick bath and rushed out, not even stopping for a second to see how I was dressed. I had more pressing issues at hand.The morning air was cool as I stepped out of the mansion, but for some reason, I felt uneasy.I hugged my coat tighter around myself, glancing toward the row of security guards stationed outside the gates. Their presence should have reassured me.But something felt… wrong.Brushing off the unsettling feeling, I slid into the backseat of the black SUV, sighing as Marcus, one of Lucas’s trusted drivers, started the engine."Kelly’s place?" he asked, adjusting the rearview mirror to meet my gaze.That has been like my default location ever since I came into this house, I had nowhere else to go anyway. I nodded, forcing a small smile. "Yes, please."The car rolled forward smoothly, but my stomach was in knots.I had barely eaten this morning, my nerves tangled in thoughts of the test."We need to take a test Arya

    Arya's POV.I couldn’t stop staring at my ring.The way the diamond sparkled under the bedroom light was hypnotizing, like a tiny universe trapped inside the gemstone. My heart was still fluttering, the moment replaying in my mind over and over again... Lucas, sitting across from me at the dining table, smirking like he always did, teasing me endlessly before finally slipping this ring onto my finger. It felt unreal.I, Arya Richard, was engaged to Lucas Griffin.I traced my fingers over the ring, still in disbelief. Me? Engaged to the most powerful man I’d ever met? The thought made me giddy, and before I knew it, I was kicking my feet like a lovesick teenager.I need to call Kelly.How could I have held on to such spicy tea for too long?Grabbing my phone, I immediately dialed her number, barely able to contain my excitement as the call connected.The moment he answered.

    Arya's POV.Lucas's lips kissed down my jaw to my neck and playfully bit me. I gasped and shivered in his arms, loving the sensation. He quickly grabbed my top and pulled it over my head, His head moved lower so his mouth could catch a nipple. I gasped as I felt his hot wet mouth fully on me, and I clutched him closer.My hands found the buttons on his shirt and tried to open it, but I was fumbling and it was so terribly frustrating that I was growling. He then half grunted and laughed and just tore off his shirt. Buttons snapped and went flying, but he didn't seem to care. My hands ran greedily up his chest, loving the feel of his muscles move underneath, then I gripped his shoulders so I could pull him down to me.He slowly picked me up, laying me on the dining table as he kissed me and fondled my boobs with one hand. His other hand rose higher and higher on my thigh, pushing my skirt up until it bunched at my hips. Fingertips slowly tugged down my panties until they were off and on

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter sixty three.

    Arya’s POV.Lucas sat across from me in the dining table, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, exposing his strong forearms. His tie was slightly loosened, and his ever present smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. His piercing eyes remained fixed on me, dark with something dangerous yet thrilling. I’d grown used to his intense gaze, but tonight, it held something different, something I couldn’t quite place.I was dealing with my own fair share of problems right now, I was caught in between deep thoughts and a trying to be physically present for dinner. Kelly and I have scheduled a date for a hospital test, after that then I could decide my faith.What if I truly was pregnant? How would I break the news to Lucas? What if he doesn't want to have kids now? What if he doesn't want something serious right now?How could I be so careless? What have I gotten myself into?"You've barely touched your food, sweetheart," Lucas murmured, his deep, velvety voice washing over me like silk. He t
