“The next time you touch me so casually, we’ll have a problem.” Her breath hitched in her throat at the words which were spoken seemingly in his most blasé tone. Admittedly his chilly gaze on her was pure menace, pure danger… and she felt like she was getting weak in the knees. ... When Rose meets a mafia boss on one of her night shifts, she thinks he is a peculiar and unpleasant patient whom she would do well to avoid... Little does she know that that encounter is but the beginning to a tumultuous and obsessive love story.
View MoreRoman didn’t feel any resistance from Rose. On the contrary, she was compliant, submissive to him, and eager to get touched, arching her back to meet his hungry hands.He felt no resistance, up till it was time for him to enter and possess her. That was when he felt her tense up.“Easy, little butterfly,” he drawled huskily, eyes focusing on her face, as he tried to understand what made her tense up. “I won’t hurt you.”“I know,” she whispered back breathlessly.Despite his reassurance and his hungry sensual caresses, she didn’t ease up.He did his best not to sigh in dismay, and then asked the one-million dollar question, “Are you sure you want this?”It had been too good to be true, and he should have known better.“I do want this – you,” she nodded. “I really do, but…”“But?” He urged her to finish her words, already sensing that the night was ruined.“I am a V,” she told him timidly, averting her gaze as she said so.“What?” His eyebrows shot up into his hairline, and he took a mo
In the end, Roman and Rose ate in silence. Albeit he wasn’t known to like sharing food, he went out of his way and offered her a couple slices of pizza. Then, something even more unexpected happened. When she was cutting her fourth piece of steak, he grabbed her hand and directed the fork to his mouth.Rose was surprised to say the least. She always thought that the mafia boss was a bit of a germaphobe. And yet, he had just eaten from her fork, a fork she had used a few times already.Was he trying to convey a message? Was he silently telling her he wouldn’t mind if it were her?“Roman,” Rose began hesitantly in a mellow tone of voice, once they were done with food, “What are you doing here?”“I lied when I said there’s nothing to settle,” he grumbled, his gaze locking onto hers.The intensity of his icy blue eyes was far too much to handle, and Rose found herself dropping her gaze to the floor.“Tell me?” Her mouth was parched, and she had difficulty speaking. “Give me your bank detai
Rose didn’t dare to make a scene, or even put an inch of distance between her and Roman. Hell, she didn’t even breathe too loudly, for fear of upsetting himf further.She didn’t know what could have made the mafia boss so angry, much less what could have made him seek her out to begin with… But she knew she was bound to find out. The waiter soon came around, and despite the little bit of a grimace on his face – as he no doubt wondered why Luke had been replaced – he asked, “Are you ready to order?” Roman merely gave him a look, promptly sending the man running for the hills without another word. “Who was the man, Rosalina?” Roman asked without so much as a preamble.Rose knew she was treading on dangerous territory, but she knew she couldn’t possibly give in to the mafia boss just because she could feel his simmering fury. Still, would it be wise to say his name, or claim that she had been on a date? It was obvious already that he knew all there was to know. Considering he had suc
Roman was busy on his laptop, reviewing security footage, as he tried to figure out who had allowed Naomi in yet again, despite the orders he had given. Stefan had offered to take care of the matter, but being the stubborn man he could be, Roman wanted to be the one doing the job, and the first one to know. He had just figured out who had not paid heed to his words when there was a knock on the door. He lifted his gaze just in time to see Flora enter his office, a disgruntled look on her face. He looked at her intently, wondering what kind of issue was she facing, and who had dared to upset her… And then, she spoke up, and basically turned his world upside down. “How clumsy can you be, young master?” She asked, pursing her lips. Before he had the time to retort, she went on, “Rose is going on a date with someone from Connect this evening.” His eyebrows shot up. He truly thought he had more time, but it would appear he had thought wrong. “Time and place?” He grumbled, as he though
The texts Rose exchanged with the madman on Connect were rather peculiar, and it felt like the man was people-awkward to say the least. Even though it kept her busy for a moment, she then decided to mute his messages. Not only was she bothered by the fact that he didn’t have a picture on his profile, merely an anime picture of what appeared to be a vampire, but also he seemed rather off in his messages. Also, for someone who claimed he was busy, his responses were almost instantaneous each time. Rose didn’t care for another liar in her life. She had just reached the clinic when she received a call from a number she didn’t recognize. She still took it almost reflexively. “Hello, Rose,” the greeting had the knack to make her freeze in her steps. Rooted in place, and slightly breathless, she all but struggled to let out a simple, “Hey.” “There’s nothing to settle,” the man, who featured in most of her wet dreams as of late, declared matter-of-factly. “But Mr Bianchi…” she was ready
Rose woke up early as usual, feeling sadder than yesterday if that was even possible. Her shift started at 6 pm, and that gave her more than enough time to get into the mood to face her colleagues, and go back to the hectic routine of the clinic. It also naturally gave her the time to drop by the vet’s clinic, and check on her precious Mey. After taking a long shower, during which she cried, as she recalled that her little kitten wouldn’t be able to walk, she got dressed and decided to leave her place at once. She was eager to see Mey, but also worried about her despite Flora’s reassurance the day prior. She arrived at Dr Cooper’s clinic at 7:30 am, and was glad to find Melissa, a receptionnist she was cool with. Tears stung her eyes as she asked in a strangled voice, “Good morning. Can I please see Mey?” Melissa offered her a bleak smile before she greeted her back amiably, “Good morning, Rose. It is so good to see you. What happened to your little one?” “She was run over,” an
Having a fun day? Roman typed the words, and hit send before he even thought his text through. Rose wasn’t even online, but he felt the need to reach out to her. And yet, instead of opening the conversation with something more mundane, like the weather or whatever, he chose to make such a big mistake, knowing full well the kind of day she had. She had cried her heart out in Flora’s arms as Mey was undergoing surgery, only to learn later that her little kitten had lost the ability to walk. How could her day be any fun? There was no option to delete the text once sent, and he decided to own up to his words anyway. He was a fucking mafia boss, and he shouldn’t be so shaken up by the mere act of trying to seduce a woman. Admittedly, it had been years since his last try. Women always flocked to him, and he never really had to, save for that girl back in high school – the goody two shoes who hadn’t wanted to mingle with a bad boy like him. I know my day was all work and no play, he so
Roman had never felt the drive to kill someone who didn’t hurt or betray his business or family. He also barely cared about any outsider really, save for Flora whom he considered family at the end of the day… And yet, he couldn’t keep the edge off his voice when he asked through the phone, “How is Rose?” “Not in the best shape, boss,” the words made him still. Sure, the kitten was in surgery, but did that mean Rose was hurt as well? He didn’t know the details, and he hated that with passion. Hell, he would have preferred to be the one to go along with Flora, but he knew that would make for an awkward situation. “She was sobbing in Flora’s arms.” Roman grunted in relief and kept listening. “Mey lost the ability to walk,” Stefan went on. “I haven’t told her yet.” “Find the culprit and break his legs,” Roman commanded dispassionately, though his simmering anger was almost palpable. “On it,” Stefan’s response was immediate. And without further ado, Roman hung up, as per usual. He
After placing the groceries on the counter of her place, Rose went straight to Maria’s apartment. And even though Maria greeted her with a smile, Rose felt that things were slightly off. She could totally understand Maria’s anger though, for she had not replied to her texts, a couple of days ago. She had not wanted to lie to her more than she already had. “How have you been, sweetheart?” Maria still opened the door wider for her. Rose hugged her at once, and let out a strangled, “I missed you.” Mey came, mewling, and asking for attention, and Rose crouched down without hesitating and hugged her little kitten. At first, Mey purred in her arms and nuzzled her face lovingly, and Rose breathed out a sigh of relief. She had been worried her kitten would feel neglected and thus get angry, but it appeared that she didn’t. Soon, Mey jumped out of her arms, and walked out of there daringly. She was being playful, and even though Rose called for her, all smiles, Mey ran down the stairs. Ro
Love was far on Rose’s mind as she settled in a chair… But then again, the devil was in the details, and she didn’t know then that love was slowly but surely creeping up on her. “Help! Somebody help!” Someone cried out, making her snap out of her reveries and spring into action at once, calmly but also efficiently. Three men were helping steady a fourth one whose white shirt wasn’t as impeccable as it should be. Admittedly, all four men looked roughened up, but moreso him. The man was holding a hand to his abdomen, seemingly to put pressure on a wound… not that it was doing much good. Indeed, if the blood was any indication, Rose could guess it was either due to a gunshot wound or multiple stab wounds. She didn’t mind the sight of blood nor the rough looks… She just knew she needed to help this man. She was quick to point out to a bed where the three men helped him into… The man didn’t even grunt, never mind saying a word of protest, even though he was conscious, and she briefly w...
