EllaFootsteps sounded down the pathway, and I walked over to the window. And there, walking with that same woman was Vincenzo.I gulped nervously, and wished he'd look up. Just the feel of his eyes on me, would definitely give me butterflies. However, he didn't. He continued walking, while the woman did the talking.Looking at her now, I felt inferior. She looked every inch sophisticated. More sophisticated than I'd ever dream to be. The perfect woman for someone like Vincenzo. I sighed and continued looking on.However, she suddenly halted. A crease formed on my forehead, as I drew my brows close. I watched as Vincenzo walked back to her, making me wonder what sort of relationship they had.I wasn't ready for her next move though. She encircled his waist with her arms, sobbing. My mouth went dry, as I struggled to breathe. And just then, he lifted his gaze towards my direction. Locking gazes with him, didn't give me the butterflies I had been expecting. Instead
Vincenzo It wasn't drizzling no more, and I stood proudly, gazing at the sky. It was a starry night, and a dazzling sight indeed.I took a long gulp of my wine, as I leaned on the balcony rails. It'd be my sixth cup yet, and I was feeling tipsy already. I twirled the cup, my grip on the cup was strong.'Quit being stubborn. It wouldn't be unusual, if you showed up to see her, Vincenzo.' Ray growled lowly. 'At what expense? Is my daughter falling out with me and her friend? You know how Lila is.' I sighed and throwing my head back, I took another hearty gulp.'You'd only visit her, there's no big deal in that. Lila wouldn't mind.' Ray protested.I took a sip of my wine, pondering on his words. 'I refuse.''Your excuse?' he retorted, almost fiercely.'If it isn't a big deal, why then are you pestering me to go?' I asked, in a sharp tone.'It's useless engaging in an argument with you, Vincenzo. It'd all end with the same words; you don't want to fall out with yo
Ella As I walked briskly down the hall to my room, my Limbs trembling from the aftermath of the tension that had built inside me earlier, I heard a door creak. I halted in my tracks and prayed that whoever it was would not come out of the room. There was no one. I hurried along and only took a deep sigh when I was within the confines of my room, the safest place I knew. ' you have yearned for Vincenzo's touch almost all your youth. You had it!' Mia cried in excitement. I stood on feet that were still soggy, and let the small escapade with Vincenzo replay shortly in my mind. My head was a jumble of thoughts. Those warm lips. Firm, yet tender. Commanding, yet yielding. Powerful, yet gentle. And his hands, they'd sent tiny explosives down every part of me, my innards leapt in sheer excitement and the moistness between my legs made me shiver. He'd pinned me to the wall for the second time and he'd claimed my lips for the first time! The kind of things I read in my Mills and
VincenzoWhen Lila had joined Maximo and me at the dining, stepping in just in time to save Maximo the blow I was going to serve him, I had known something was amiss. She had descended the flight of stairs without her friend tailing her.I hoped earnestly that Lila had not found out about the previous night. I felt like a boy in his teens as I looked away from her.She pulled her chair back and settled into her seat."Good morning Dad, Uncle Maximo, I see my father was going to use a fist on you had I not interfered in time to save your hide. It is a colossal shame__""Lila, let's eat. We've been waiting for you_ and, um, your friend."I said, interrupting her.Perhaps, should not have mentioned her friend. Well, did that not make it seem even more fishy? Like I was trying to evade anything that had to do with her?Well, was it not only proper that I ask after someone who was living under my roof? Someone who had shared the dining with me and my family?" She Is just a little tired an
EllaThe warmth of Vincenzo's mouth as it enclosed around one of my nipples sent jolts of desire through me and I could swear that my legs had gone soggy and I was not standing on them again. Perhaps, I was only held by Vincenzo's strong arms and my thoughts and actions were only about him. I'd never felt passion or expressed it as brazenly as I let myself with Vincenzo.His mouth moved from one breast to another, licking my areola and nibbling on my nipples, sending waves of need down my body. Building the tempo and rhythm of what he made me feel, his cock hard and hot against me.He was an Adonis.A man known for his conquest of the most aristocratic women and his love for women who were beautiful.I was shivering when Vincenzo led me, still locking lips, towards the tub. He sat on one edge and pulled me onto his hard lap, straddling my hips between his shaft, the bulge of his manhood pressing against my vagina as I rubbed against him. I was doing a perfect job of heightening his
VincenzoMy body thrummed deliciously with longing as I watched her pick up her dress and throw it over herself without maintaining eye contact with me. I could hardly hold myself from stopping her and demanding why she was suddenly going to leave. Her reasons for the sudden change were a puzzle and there was not as much as a clue as to how I could resolve the enigma.Her rounded buttocks _ perfect in its making_ called out to me silently as she stopped briefly to pick up the dress. It was all I could do to keep myself from taking her in my arms once again.When she'd turned around to bow briefly, I could not tell whether or not it was fear or disappointment that I saw in her eyes. She was beautiful and vulnerable and I wanted to protect her.' protect her from yourself?' I'd heard Ray's voice ask in a drawl. He was taunting me. He'd leaped within me from one angle of my insides to the other, losing himself in the ecstatic feel of her body and the pleasure she brought us both."I'm
EllaI bowed my head slightly, crossing my legs in curtsey as I saw Vincenzo step into the dining hall about the same time I stepped into the hall. I stood back, gripping the railing by the staircase as I did. He acknowledged my greetings with not more than an impassive nod of the head. Did he ever show emotions?He had to be the most stoic, phlegmatic person I'd ever known. "We've been waiting for you all evening, Vincenzo. Where did your wanderings lead you?" Lila asked as she started to arrange items on the table that did not need arranging."In the woods? In the cave? On the borders of another pack? In a woman's arms? Which do you think?""Come on, sit," Lila said as she looked in my direction. "Is that supposed to be you trying to taunt anyone? I thought you were a reformed rake?""And who says I'm not?""You just said__""Lil, you should listen to understand.""You know I do not think of you as a totally changed man and you taunt me with the question? Well, you'd want to hear
EllaDinner was a troublesome affair that brought back memories I'd best forget. Contessa's reminder of my family had only brought me memories of my stepmom and stepsisters, the oldest being Alessa. A conniving pair that made life difficult in different instances for me. One of the reasons I was in the moonstone pack was Alessa sleeping with my boyfriend, Christopher, which led to our breakup. Alessa had been oddly pleased with having me break up with Christopher and she had received her mother's backing. I had felt betrayed by the man who constantly professed love to me but even more stung by my step sister's actions and the fact that she loved to see me sad. The good thing is, I'd never been one to brood over melancholic issues _ not that Mia would let me_ and I had gotten over Christopher who was not even my mate, and started to pay more attention to myself and how much I could make myself Happy, being that I was the lone kid in the house.Just when I was recovering from the trai
Ella Gwen and her mean daughter, Alessa were just by the door. Terror filled me and I made to slam the door into their faces but they were too fast and I could not hold them back when they lunged at me, they were in the room in the next moment. "You really think you would have a better life than we could ever have, sister?" Alessa asked when they were standing above me while I remained on the floor "How did you sneaky things get in here?" I asked instead. They exchanged glances and laughed. "Using a little bit of magic does not hurt anyone, dear." Gwen said in her usual sly manner She looked indeed like she had used magic. She appeared older than I remembered her to be " I have always liked how ambitious you are. Even as a little girl, you have always had big dreams and I can't think of anything that you have ever wanted that you never had, even if you needed to break others in the process of acquiring what you want." "That is not true, Gwen!" I protested as she looked down
Vincenzo"I'm glad to tell you that I had found out from Ella herself that you two are mates. Now you know that she feels the mate pull towards you too."His eyes went huge with surprise. He did not seem to believe." She said so?"He asked me." Yes..she was crying when she said it. Now you know how it must be for her."I said..there was a look of anguish in his eyes and he swallowed hard."You don't mean that do you?""I'm not one of the many comedians you know, Raffaele. The lass was bawling when she went to report to her friend.""Must have been difficult for her before she decided to talk to her friend about it."He commented with some feeling."Turns out you were not the feeling one between you two. If it was possible you would have died with the mate bond between you a secret."He looked down into his palms."I would have told you. Just when I felt the time was right. I wanted to be sure first that what I felt was reciprocated."He said and I believed him totally.He was that k
EllaVincenzo was doing all the things that i never thought him capable of. He was being the romantic man I did not know he could be and I could swear I was at my happiest.He was directing all his attention to me, teasing me and spoon feeding me. "You are the one true beauty I know and there won't be anyone else like you be said repeatedly, making me blush each time he said the words and he watched me with a pleasant smile before tucking my hair behind my ears." I want to see every inch of your face, Beauty. "He said every time. He was being a boy again, smiling freely and doing all the things he had often held back from doing. " It is beautiful to see you happy, Vincenzo. I am happy too, I do not care for anything else while I am with you..I only want to remain here with you all day.""Me too. I want to stay here with you all day."I laughed." But you can not. You are an alpha, you have duties to attend to. The pack needs you every single day."" And I need to have a life with
VincenzoThe act which I had hoped would not bring her so much did not. I was grateful for that. I didn't know how many minutes passed when I began to feel the walls of her vagina start to clench around me.The tempo of my thrusts increased as we started to reach our climax at the same time. When I collapsed atop her, reaching orgasm as the time same as she did, it was only peace and bliss that I felt. Slowly, I slipped out of her and propped myself up on my elbows as her eyes slowly came open.She smiled."Do you have anything to say about the journey we just returned from?"I asked her. She nodded, the smile still on her face."Well, what would you say?"I pressed on. she blushed."Thank you for taking me through that journey. "She said with sincere appreciation in her eyes. I was surprised on my part." Why would you say thank you, Beauty? I am to say those words to you, for bringing all the peace and the happiness that I had thought I would never have to me."I said as I got off
Vincenzo She did not want me to stop and it was evident in her reaction to my touch. She wanted me as much as I wanted her tooBut I pulled away."Ella, there is something I must tell you"I said. She nodded, her mouth half parted as she did. She was still Yearning my touch and I did not want to deny her that but I did want to talk to her..it was hard trying to talk to a half naked woman who was wreathing seductively against me but I did my best."What would you want to tell me now?"She asked when she perceived hesitation on my part."I was going to tell you this, I have struggled in the past to dismiss what I feel for you. To be able to not want you as desperately as I have wanted you in years, but there has been no way out. Each time, I have only wanted you and no other woman."She nodded, but I was not done talking."When I had started to feel the mate pull towards you, I had doubted it. I did not think that I would ever have a second chance mate. I did not consider myself that l
EllaI sank back into the tub and watched as his tall form stood by the mouth of the cave, towering against me and of course blocking a great deal of the faint light that was supposed to be on me."Vincenzo."I called softly, my voice shaking. He was still, not saying anything, just staring at me, his eyes bright despite the darkness of the cave."Beauty."He responded. And then he took a step forward. I swallowed hard, hoping he would turn away and leave me alone to my thoughts. But a part. Of me was curious. Why had he come after me? What was keeping him awake as I was too?' When was the last time he called you beauty?'Mia asked and I instantly felt my heart skip a beat. He only called me beauty when I was in his arms or when he was one step closer to taking me in his arms. "I... I wanted to be alone so I came here."I said.He did not respond immediately. He was still watching me keenly as I struggled to keep my hair from being submerged in the water while trying to keep myself
EllaWhoever it was who had equally been unable to sleep did not have to follow me. I had First been worried when I had stepped out of my room and out into the cold night air.But then I recalled that there was no Maximo, neither was there a Contessa or even my step mother at the moonstone pack who could decide to hurt me just by seeing me step out. It was a relief that for the first time that there was no real threat on my Life. Even the witches were all dead.' well, except for the real threat on your life.'The meaning of what Mia had said did not register immediately and then it clicked.'Vincenzo.'I shuddered. Not again. "Does it ever end? When will I finally be able to have a normal life. With or without him."It was a mere musing as I hurried along. I was going to go and immerse myself in the tub which was about the only thing after a run in the woods which could help me clear my head.' someone is following you, still.'Mia remarked again. But I felt no fear as I hastened o
Vincenzo Lila's voice was still in my head.I had been taking a small walk around the interior of the pack house, checking the rooms with hopes of finding something that could be the leftovers of maximo's charms when I heard the ladies.' they are not arguing, are they?'Roy demanded while I was yet to make sense of the voices I was hearing. I could not make out the voices but of course I knew the voices belonged to the ladies, Ella and Lila.' Better go see what is going on between those two.'"I'm not about to barge into ladies. That would be considered insane."' maybe you should just get closer. You don't want them fighting under your roof again, do you?'That was all the incentive I needed to walk towards the door of Ella's room from where the voices were coming from.I heard my name being mentioned by Lila and I stopped to listen.They did not seem to be fighting.. they were talking.She was crying!What could be wrong?The voice came back again and I heard my name mentioned
EllaWhen Lila came to me mentioning that something was eating her up and she wanted to discuss with me, a part of me hoped it would have nothing to do with me and her father, Vincenzo.' hear her out first, there is a worry in her eyes that has nothing to do with you.'Mia admonished. I sat still as she started to walk further into the room, towards me where I was seated on the bed."There is no one else that I can talk about this with. I have not had much sleep for two days now since we returned back to the pack."She said. Truly, there were bags under her eyes and i chided myself mentally for not seeing it until she had had to mention it. But I sighed, quickly forgiving myself before she came closer."You know I will always be here to hear you out." I said with calm assurance. She nodded.I took another deep sigh, hoping the conversation was not going to have come down to Vincenzo or about me. Since we returned, I had not seen him or been in the same room as him and that was not
