ANTONIOI didn’t know how many minutes or hours passed as I sat there on the floor with my back to the wall with the secret door to the dungeon. But at some point Mario had left a bottle of water with a woollen blanket on the table. Now, my eyes once again fell on those things and my mind went to the woman in the cold cell. I rubbed a rough hand down my face at the twisted feelings that crowded my mind and heart. I hated myself for feeling this way. I hated that feeling which had me cursing and standing up to get the blanket and water bottle. I hated that I care which was the reason for this pain engulfing me.I took a deep breath in as I tried to subdue the turmoil going inside me as I opened the secret passage and made my way down the stairs to the cell where I locked her in. I pushed the door open and stepped inside. The moment my eyes fell on her equal amount of pain and rage blossomed back. I still couldn't wipe that image of her with the gun pressed to her temple of my head. T
ANTONIOI gripped her jaw, my fingers dug into her cheeks, making her lips pucker up, giving me perfect opening to plunder her mouth with my tongue as I dominated her with a rough kiss. At first she was still but then she let out a little growl of her own that went straight to my côck as she grabbed the back of my neck, her nails digging into my flesh as she kissed me back, fighting for control. Giving me back just as much. My stubborn little devil.When I momentarily pulled back to look at her, her hands went to my pants to unbutton then. She looked eager, angry and out of sorts. I grabbed her hand which had her looking up at me, and I got a glimpse in her dark brown eyes filled with frustrated need. And my own need mounted seeing hers.I have no idea how this woman has me wrapped around her little finger and how she managed to squeeze the life out of my long dead heart. The only thing I knew was that I needed her now to live the rest of my life. Without her, it’d be impossible to br
ERICAA whoosh of breath left my lips as Antonio dropped me on the bed, completely naked and so was he. After he had made me come and then spilled inside me, like a caveman he had thrown me over his shoulder in the cell and then walked through the castle as naked as the day he was born, uncaring of anyone seeing us. I could still feel the wetness of his come coating my thighs as it leaked from my pussy and it had mounted to my embarrassment. I was afraid of his daughter seeing us like this but fortunately no one was around as he had made his way to his bedroom. Now, like a hungry predator he prowled over me, his mountain of a body blanketing mine as he dropped painful kisses on my throat, collarbones and around my nipples. Mapping my body and marking it however he wanted. A moan left my lips when his hungry lips went to my stomach and he bit into my soft flesh before soothing it with soft kisses. I arched and a soft sensation, half thrill and half longing went through me as he place
ANTONIOI was halfway into much needed sleep when my phone rang and then after what Ephraim told me, the sleep disappeared along with the haze of pleasure I was in grip of and there was nothing left but a sense of urgency and restlessness as I waited for the inevitable. Gabriel Wolfe was in Italy. In my country where I had always wanted him up until now. On my soil, and the audacity of that man was he was in one of my hotel. The very one named after my sister. I had allowed it despite the fact that I wanted to order my men to open fire on him and his entourage. But according to Ephraim, Gabriel Wolfe hasn't brought the army of his men except his trusted guard Mac and another, along with Jonathan Sokolov with his own personal bodguards. An interesting turn off event that, that the brother of the man—Jeremiah Sokolov, who I had indebted on my side by granting him a favour for this very meeting with Gabriel Wolfe was on opposite side. I wondered if Jeremiah knew about his brother’s frie
ANTONIO“Uncuff me, Antonio, I mean it. I need to go to the bathroom!”I leaned down to brush my lips against hers in a soft kiss and pulled back to uncuff her. I took out the small key from my pocket and released her wrists from their prison. I took her arms down, slowly, and massaged her shoulders, hands and wrists. She tried to push me away with her weak hands as she half sat up only to drop down with a pained groan.“Oh god, Antonio, I am going to murder you.” She breathed heavily, glaring at me through barely open slits of her eyes. “You are not allowed to touch me for the next week.” I chuckled as I braced a hand at her back and helped her to sit up. She added, “Not just a week, make it two or maybe even three.”With a shake of my head, I picked her up in my arms. I said, “Not going to happen, little devil. You have to deal with the beast you unleashed.” Her small body tucked into me, feeling perfect. I walked t
ANTONIO“Is this really necessary?” My little devil asked as I prepared to cuff her hand to the headboard. I paused. Looked up at her. Her brown eyes were patient as she said, “I promised I won’t try to escape,” She rolled her eyes then as added, “Not that I’m going to even succeed. It’s quite disquieting you know... “ She pouted and amusement took hold of me for a second despite the dark thoughts running in my mind. She leaned up to cup my face and touched her forehead to mine. “You can trust me. Remember?”I sighed. I didn’t want to leave her without having the surety that she wouldn’t be able to leave me. But she was right, I have to bend down for her even when it was sharing my nature, but then again where she was concerned I will do anything for her. Begrudgingly, I nodded. “Alright.” She beamed at me. Her brown eyes shining like stars. And then her stomach grumbled and I arched a brow. “You are hungry, why didn’t you say anything.”She placed her palm on her stomach and a delic
ANTONIO “You have something that doesn’t belong to you.” My fingers tip tapped on my thigh as I turned to face Jonathan and pretended to think before saying, “Remind me again what it is. Because I don’t think I have anything that doesn’t, in all honesty, belong to me.” Jonathan stared at me as if he was getting out of patience. He could sit here and stare at me all day, but if he thought I was going to make it easy for these arseholes he was wrong. He sighed and shook his head. “See, my brother and I are only present here so there won’t be any bloodshed—” “Which I am not against, to be clear.” Jeremiah interjected. “I would prefer it in fact, if you want my opinion.” Jonathan shot his brother a glare and said, “Gabriel agreed to your terms. He is here as you wanted, without his guards, I should add.” I pointedly looked at the two men, shadowing Gabriel. Mac and the one I didn’t know, I thought the second one would be Mac’s brother Zurich, the one that had graced me with his unplea
ERICAI was sitting with Gianna. After our initial awkwardness has weaned off and we had apologized to each other we have managed to sit in the same room without insulting one another and there was even comfortable silence that surrounded us. I was reading the last of the journal, the Rossi in this journal fell for his captive and she was pregnant with his baby. She was brought down from the cell and now stayed with him in his bedroom. In all his musings and what the older Rossi wrote, it was clear how much he was obsessively in love with the stolen princess but he also wrote how disappointed he was to not have her respond to his love. Every time he confessed his love, the princess didn’t reply back. And even after how he changed for her, he seemed to be at the end of his ropes as he didn’t understand why she didn’t love him back. He was detailed about their sex life which I skipped, but there were words that took me by surprise and I felt for the man. He really loved her, went as fa
