NELLY The promises hidden in your gaze trigger waves of heat in the molecules of my body, setting fire to parts over which I no longer have control. I want to hide from your sparkling irises and protect my body from the evil that your smile imprints, but I end up walking to the edge of the pool and testing the water with the tip of my toe. He looks like one of those beautiful landscapes that we can't believe are real, David Bragança is half-naked and holds out his hand to me. "You're thinking too much." His voice whispers, laden with something I can't identify, but which sends a new wave of heat through my legs. I pull the air tightly into my lungs and, without thinking too much about the consequences, I decide that I want to live this moment with him without reservation. The way he looks at me makes me feel powerful, sexy and everything I never imagined I could be to anyone. "I'm coming for you, Mister. Bragança." I touch the sides of my bikini and slowly pull it down, turning on
DAVID NARRATING... Nelly just disappeared. I haven't heard from her since we spoke this morning. She was in Octavian's office, hell, it was her first appointment and she just didn't show up. My eyes scrolled across the cell phone screen throughout the meeting waiting for news, but nothing. No damn message. I had a grumpy lunch and took it all out on Leyla, but the worst came when I called the office and received the news that she hadn't even spoken to the psychologist. My poor secretary had only just realized where the scam was coming from. The worry blinded me and, for a few minutes, I acted like a sadistic madman, tormenting every poor soul in that building for news of her. She didn't go to work or tell anyone either, my fingers itched to call her mother's number, but a voice in my head signaled that that wouldn't be a good idea. What the hell, if she doesn't call me by ten o'clock, I'll call Kaciana's number. Nelly, don't tempt me. I can be a possessive and controlling man.
NELLY "Are you sure, darling?" There's a bit of care in his question, the fact that he's acting cautiously after everything I've told him makes my heart smile realizing that he cares about me. He wants me to be sure of what I'm doing before we do it and that pleases me, it's not just sex for him. I close my eyes to stop my mind from repeating the famous phrase I've clung to for so long. For God's sake, I love him with every cell in my body and I've loved him since I was a teenager, when I first saw him. But we're two adults now. Only I know he's not ready to hear me talk about my feelings yet, his mind is still on his dead wife and it will take me some time to convince him that there's nothing wrong with loving again. Please love me.I beg mentally. "Yes." I say, opening my eyes and finding his gaze fixed on me. He slowly descends between my legs and inhales my scent as only an animal does. "I'll erase your bad memories, darling. All you'll remember after tonight is how good my mo
NELLY Red. Some say that this is the color of love and passion, but for me it's more linked to desire, lust and David Bragança. The only man who has my devotion and loyalty. Yes, David is red and runs through my veins like the blood that keeps me alive. He is like my worst nightmares and best dreams. The memory of what we did last night flashes through my head, and once again I pinch my arm to make sure it's real. We're lying on our sides in his bed, his body perfectly pressed against mine, kneading the bruised flesh of my bare ass while his manhood nudges my folds and makes me wet. His heavy breathing ruffles the small hairs on my neck and I end up moaning, involuntarily swaying when he moves behind me and rubs his hardness against my sensitive opening. I get a bite on my shoulder and stifle a cry at the surprise and the scrape of his teeth against my skin. I close my eyelids to control the euphoria of waking up with this man. This can only be a dream. I blink and tilt my head
NELLY His words make me wetter and more involved. I grab the pillow and squeeze my eyes shut. So close. "Come on, Nelly. Come for me, come for my cock. His thrusts increase and he turns me over, my legs are wobbly and my breathing is heavy. "Look at me, love. "He asks and I look, I see the exact moment when he lifts one of my legs up to his shoulder and enters me again, acting like a good torturer, sliding in very slowly. I moan and he laughs softly, slapping me in just the right spot to get me hooked again. "I'm coming..." I admit, feeling the hot sensation come slowly and explode with everything. David continues to pound away mercilessly, increasing the strokes until he comes all over me. My heart races as I look at his handsome, mature face, his white hair is mixed with black and he looks a mess all naked and sweaty, but he's still the most handsome man I've ever seen. "I need to remember to use protection next time. "He says, watching my face with affection, resting a kiss on
DAVID Gray. All I can think about is how that guy's eyes fit with the boy who took his virginity. I didn't like seeing them so close when I got off the elevator, I still can't define my feelings, but she looked uncomfortable with his presence and something inside me wanted to protect her. Her face is so familiar, I'm sure I know it from somewhere, maybe if I had looked more closely I could have come up with a name. My fingers burn against the leather of the steering wheel from pressing them so hard, but it's either that or stop the car in the middle of the avenue and demand the kid's ID. Boy. He wasn't a boy. Younger than me, maybe, but not a boy. Danm. Who was that little fellow? That thought makes me so uneasy that I have to increase the speed of the car to assuage my anxiety, and out of the corner of my eye I watch as Nelly shifts uncomfortably in the passenger seat. She grunts, looks at me unaware that she's being watched, and bites her full lips, eliciting a direct reaction
NELLY I know I shouldn't be snooping around, exploring the rooms of his house without permission, but I'm being impulsive, driven by my thirst for him. I turn my gaze to the corridor where his room is to make sure he's not coming, pressing my lips together, knowing how much I'll annoy him if I'm discovered here, right in front of the forbidden door, the only place in the house I haven't been yet, and I take a deep breath. Making the final decision, I reach for the door handle and surprised to find it unlocked, I check the corridor again, my saliva running down my dry throat. Christ. This is about your past, something intimate. But... I can't go back now, I need to understand your mind, get to know your ghosts in order to get to your heart. I enter the room, facing the darkness. I close the door slowly, avoiding making any noise. My feet are bare against the tiled floor, and on my body is a clean blouse of yours. My breathing is rapid, and I have to put my hand on my chest to cont
NELLY Tears fall from my eyes and reach the black velvet, I cry for him, for Lígia, for Luís Miguel and for the baby who never had the chance to live. I cry for all the innocent victims who died because of irresponsible drivers, drunk idiots who only think about themselves and how drunk they can get. I cry as I put everything back in its place, I continue to allow the tears to fall as I slide the tape and close the boxes, but I wince when I hear footsteps coming, I wipe the tears with the wrist of the shirt I wear and drop the work in half, walking on tiptoe and turning off the light before peeping through the door and escaping to the pool area, diving into the cold water to hide the tears, a few minutes later I hear my name in his mouth and he comes through the door like a rocket, eyes sharp and a serious face. He knows. I hug my own body, feeling the fabric of the blouse stick to my skin with the help of the water. David Rosna and ergolook into his, finding hunger in place of ange
NELLY 5 years later... I don't think I'm an eclectic music person, I mean I can tolerate some styles of music, but hard rock is definitely not one of them. Well, well, maybe I'm just irritated that I woke up and didn't find David in bed. So where is he? The sound of the music tells me he's close, but how close? My legs and feet are hurting, but nothing compares to the constant throbbing in my back, and I need the message he promised. Not to mention the discomfort between my legs, but that part is good. Last night was crazy. I leave the room and go down the hallway in silence, taking the opportunity to stop by the five-year-old twins' room, they both hate following rules and follow their father everywhere. They are a faithful copy of my husband, despite having different personalities. Luca and Xavier are complete matches, which I'm grateful for, because they are extremely similar physically. At first, I had some difficulty identifying who was who. To be honest, my husband was the
DAVIDWe stayed at the party for an hour, chatting a little with most of the guests, unfortunately, I lost Nelly for a long twenty minutes to Cassandra. The two women were having an excited conversation about motherhood and I didn't want to interrupt, however, when Eduardo appeared with a bouquet of orchids for my wife, I had to intervene.He gave me a single look and snorted.Bastard.Apparently, Alice went into labor the night before and couldn't come to the party. Nelly hugged the idiot and cried a little in her arms, promising that she would soon visit her goddaughter and friend.I pulled my wife back and kept my arm around her waist until it was time to get into the car, which happened right after our dance.She complained about needing to throw the bouquet, and I threw it towards Kiara.Nelly laughed when my friend cursed me.I shrugged and moved on. She will overcome.It takes me thirty minutes to get to the house and the beach, and I watch it with silence and expectation.I fo
DAVID347.Three hundred and forty-seven people are on my mother's wedding list, but that's the list she created months ago, when even I didn't know where my romance with Nelly was going.This is Hordellis Bragança, the party itself.Anyway, I left the organization of the ceremony to her and Nelly, focusing on the honeymoon. My girl will be almost nine months into our marriage in two days, and I have to think about a possible fluke, like two babies arriving in the middle of the honeymoon. Therefore, I bought a beach house a few meters from the hospital and had it renovated according to its parameters of a perfect house.She wanted to wait to perform the ceremony after the lights went out, but I was so eager to call her my wife that I couldn't wait. After all, what's the point of all the money if I can't plan a wedding in two weeks?Well, I'm starting to think this was a bad idea. My mother kidnapped Nelly and said I would only see her again on her wedding day.''Please? '' I beg for w
NELLYI open my eyes with a sweet smile on my face, David caresses my belly in a delicate, affectionate and a little possessive way as if he was afraid of hurting me or something, but I realized seconds ago that no, he was contemplating, so mesmerized with the kicking show that our children were putting on that he didn't notice that I was watching him. I never thought I would witness this scene after everything we've experienced, but hearing my babies' father singing a lullaby was the best feeling I've ever felt.The throbbing between my legs also increased at the sexy sight, part of me wanted to reveal that I was awake and request that massage he suggested a few times last night, but I also didn't want to ruin the moment, so I rested my head. I went back on the pillow and continued pretending I was sleeping until I couldn't take it anymore. David began to sing a song about a street, a forest, shining stones, and an angel.My eyes filled with tears.Those damn hormones.'' Do you beli
DAVIDWhen I left home this morning, I made it my mission to make our first night together after all this time special. Nelly always wanted to know a little more about my dark side and my perverse fantasies, but I was always afraid and controlled myself with her, but with all the events we've experienced I realized that my girl won't judge me or run away.We both need this.The club is operating normally upstairs, but downstairs I reserved it for just the two of us. Nelly never fully experienced my dominating side, she never knew how she is at my command and mercy, but today that will change. I crave her touch and taste more than air, I need to thrust into her without mercy to satisfy the beast inside me and, if I were any other man, I would treat her with affection and softness at this point in her pregnancy, but I don't. I am. We've been apart so long that I can't, I just can't make soft love. I think that's why I allowed him to sleep last night and didn't try anything even though I
NELLY'' How can you be sure?''He gives me a cocky look and raises his left eyebrow.'' Because I locked it.''I keep my mouth open, looking between him and the door, thinking about when this happened until I remember to close my eyes for a few minutes and black out.'' All good? '' he asks, probably noticing my insecure expression. I lay back on the bed and feel him move. Within a second, David is standing next to me, forcing my face up, so I can look at him.'' Yes, I.. '' I close my eyes and count to five. '' I don't know if we should have sex.He frowns.'' You do not want?''I bite my lip and sigh, remembering that I need to talk to him about Kaciana and ask him to stop looking for her.'' It's not that, I just want you to take it easy.''The corners of his mouth turn up, and he starts twirling a strand of my hair around his ring finger.'' Baby, we're not going to have sex.''I grimace.'' No?''His smile widens.'' You seem disappointed.''I cough, trying to sit up, but carryi
NELLYI run my hand over his face carefully, touching the recent bruises and marks. When Hordellis called to inform me that David had returned, my mind went blank and I didn't know how to act, I mean, first my mother and then him. It was too much. I only knew I was coming here when I got into the taxi and gave the name of the hospital to the driver.'' What happened? '' I whisper, unable to stop touching him. David Bragança is a handsome man even though he's all dressed up, cut that out, he's breathtaking.'' It doesn't matter. '' he says, his eyes dropping to my cleavage and looking away when he realizes I caught him.He clears his throat and runs his fingers through his hair, taking distance. I try not to show it, but it bothers me and brings back the feeling of loneliness.'' All good? You seem nervous. Oh, I need to call the doctor. '' I say, worried about the lack of color on her lips.''No.''he shouts, grabbing my hand at the last minute. '' I'm just nervous about our date. '' h
DAVIDI stared at my apathetic form and the scratches on my face angrily, the man's reflection in the mirror wasn't me, at least, it didn't look like me. My face was thinner, my jaw was more visible, and I would need to see a dermatologist about the spots and burns.When I decided to leave Nelly in the middle of her pregnancy, I was sure that I would return in a few weeks and earn her forgiveness. My mistake. Finding Kaciana proved to be a difficult task from the beginning, but after I hired Arthur and the first clue emerged, my spirits were reinvigorated, and we left for South Africa. The woman was following my order to the letter and covering her tracks, until we bumped into someone who knew someone who saw her.Turns out the lead was false, and we fell into a trap, the man who contacted us was part of a local and unfortunate gang, they called themselves the Pirates of Urr. No idea what it meant, but the captain loved to torture, especially those with clothes on. Guys and gold watch
NELLYMy body was frozen in place and everything felt delayed, from the sinking of his chest with each breath to the narrowing of his eyes.Kaciana walked past me after a long moment of silence and touched my shoulder gently, offering a warm smile that looked wrong on her face. She looked different, but I couldn't identify what it was as I closed the door behind me and followed her to the couch. I watched as she surveyed my living room and turned her nose up at the pictures on the wall. They weren't works of art worth millions, no, I bought them from a lady at the market near the mall the other day. She must have noticed and disapproved.So many questions were being thrown around in my head at this very moment.I stared at her figure for another full minute, hoping and hoping that she would be the first to speak, as I looked and looked for any difference, I was drawn to the golden ring with a small stone on top on her left-hand ring finger. No, she can't... Is she? I looked more close
