-Damon, I have a problem, I entered without knocking on his office.
I examine the room more closely and I see two more men whom I don't know.
-I'm sorry, I didn't know...
-Let's reschedule the meeting in 20 minutes, Damon informs the other two people.
I don't know if I'm crazy or not, but I think I felt my heart pounding in my chest at the thought that he canceled something to talk to me.
After Damon puts the phone back on the table, a bodyguard makes his presence in the office.
-Taylor, take the guests to the living room and make sure some snacks are prepared for them.
After I'm left alone with Damon, he signals me to sit in the chair in front of his desk.
-I didn't mean to disturb you, I'm sorry...
-You're not bothering me, don't apologize! Tell me what happened," he says, lighting a cigarette.
-My father called. He was panicked that I didn't answer him these days and told me to visit him soon. He has something urgent to talk to me about.
-Good, talk to him and tell him you'll be there tomorrow evening.
-What do you mean tomorrow?
-I've finished my work here, we need to go back and pretend we're together, otherwise we'll raise suspicion.
-When will we no longer need to pretend?
-When you fall in love with me, he says, relaxed.
-Damon, I really don't want to pretend my whole life.
-Is being in a relationship with me really that uncomfortable? Do you know how many girls would kill to be in your place?
-I really don't care. This, I gesture between us, shouldn't happen.
-Princess, are you afraid you'll fall in love with me?
-Dream on it.
Damon puts out his half-smoked cigarette and leans over the desk. I try to pull my chair back, but he blocks me, placing his hands on the chair's armrests.
-Wanna bet you won't be so tough when I'm inside you!?
-We don't need to bet because it's not going to happen, I try to confront him. But his eyes seem to pull me into an abyss of sins, only when I look into them.
-I assure you it will happen, and it won't be long until then.
-I don't want to be anyone's adventure.
-Oh, darling, I assure you you won't be. I don't like to share.
-I'm leaving now, I've already told you what I had to say, I barely manage to stand up from the chair when I'm pushed down on the desk.
-I've been wanting to taste you for so long, he asks, running his tongue over his lips.
He spreads my legs and positions himself between them, lifting the skirt that used to reach just above my knees.
-It's not right, I stutter, trying to formulate a believable sentence.
-Were you never curious about the taste of my lips? Oh, but you were, he says.
-N-no.
-Then why were you touching my lips with your finger this morning?
-H-how do you know that, I stutter embarrassed.
-I know everything, darling, he says with his lips glued to mine.
Without realizing it, I'm drawn into an animalistic kiss that I struggle not to respond to.
Frustrated that I don't respond to the kiss, he bites my lip, letting out a sigh between my lips when his tongue enters my mouth. Slowly, I give in, letting myself be carried away by a sinful kiss.
I feel his hands under my skirt, but he continues the kiss, not even letting me breathe. Without realizing it, he manages to take off my panties. I try to pull away from the kiss, but he doesn't let go.
-I promise I won't do anything you don't want, he says.
I don't respond, but I let him continue, as he leaves me thirsty for something unknown. He lays me on the desk, getting into the most advantageous position for him and the most disadvantageous for me, because I know from now on I won't be able to resist.
I feel his wet tongue exploring my thighs, heading towards my femininity. His caresses send shivers of pleasure through my whole body, but they fade away when he stops.
-Now, he says huskily but with an excited look, what do you want me to do?
-C-continue, I stutter impatiently.
-What do you want to continue? he asks with a devilish smile.
-Damon, please...
He doesn't even let me continue because I already feel his wet and hot tongue penetrating my walls. I feel a wave of pleasure about to come.
-Damon, I moan his name softly.
-Let go, he orders me.
I feel as if a wave of pleasure has passed over me, but I'm brought back to reality when Damon pulls me to his chest.
-And when you think that I can offer you more than this.
-It's wrong.
-Keep telling yourself that, but I know you won't believe it.
-Damon, I don't want this to happen again, I see his face drop when I tell him that, but he resumes his alpha figure.
-Too bad, but I can't promise you anything.
-Damon, please...
-You're begging me what, he asks exasperated. Are you begging me to let you go after you've tasted me? Well, find out that it won't happen. You, Elenor, are mine, he says, looking into my eyes. I want you even more than I had you today, and tomorrow I'll want you more than I'll have you tonight.
I toss and turn, but sleep refuses to take me. Its absence causes this insomnia. In just a few days, I've become dependent on it. I can't have dinner without it, I can't sleep without it. It's quite strange. I don't think I love it, but I've developed a need to see it beside me, to feel its arms around me when I sleep, and even the specific, unorthodox touches it makes at the table. I really don't understand why he spends so much time in that office. Did the meeting last so long that he couldn't even have dinner with me or at least make it to the bedroom by this hour? Wanting to satisfy my curiosity, I go to his office. I knock, but no one answers, so I enter. Fear grips me when I see the floor and walls covered in blood. Has something happened to Damon? Terrified, I leave the office, wanting to find someone from the staff to find out what's happening. I can't find anyone from the staff, but when I try to call Damon, I see a huge door at the end of the hallway that I don't kn
-Stay away from me, you monster! I shout as loud as I can, trying not to waver. I'm pretty sure this jerk drugged me after I passed out; otherwise, I can't explain the dizziness and headache. I try to get up from beside him, but I can't. The bastard has handcuffed my hand to the bed.-Why am I handcuffed to the bed?-So you won't run away. Isn't it logical?How can he be so calm after torturing a man!?-You're a bastard! Do you hear me!? You'll pay for everything!-Blah, blah. Okay, I'm a monster, a bastard, but darling, you're the girlfriend of a monster, a bastard, and many other insults you can think of.-Stop saying that I'm your girlfriend. You don't know what love is. I realize I've hit a sensitive point when he rushes towards me. He immobilizes my other hand, placing himself over me.-Hey doll, do you really think everything in this world is rosy? Well, let me tell you, it's not. I don't want to go into too much detail, but I want you to understand me and my actions. M
Grandma, Dad, and Marc, I'm sorry I didn't visit you more often! I'm sorry I didn't tell you how much I love you because of my pride! I'm sorry for causing you so much pain after you find out I'm dead! I'm sorry for everything! I hope you can forgive me in this lifetime." These were the only thoughts running through my mind as Damon dragged me through the hail of bullets towards the exit. Twenty minutes had passed since I found myself in the backseat of the car with Adam holding my hand, shaking me every time I stared into space, not aware of what he was saying or asking me. I simply couldn't snap out of the shock. I could have been shot if Damon hadn't thrown me to the ground. A split second and I would have left this world. A split second and my life would have ended in the ugliest way possible.-Darling, are you okay? Damon asks me for the umpteenth time.-Well, if by 'okay' you mean that I almost died less than half an hour ago, then yes, I'm okay, I reply, giving him an ironi
From Damon's perspective: The fact that she was ashamed of her body infuriates me to no end. How? How could she do that when I get aroused just by looking at her? This woman drives me as crazy as she did on the first night. After thoroughly exploring every inch of her upper body, I slowly move my tongue down to her thighs, avoiding her vagina to save the best for last. Her body tenses with pleasure as she senses me getting closer, but I catch her off guard by kissing her labia wildly while massaging her clit with a finger. She lets out a moan between her lips, sending a shiver down my spine and into my pants. I slip a finger inside her, continuing to massage her lips with my mouth, eager to hear her moans.-Take that damn hand off! I want to hear your moans like I heard them in my dreams, I say, seeing her trying to muffle herself. At my words, she removes her hand from her mouth, looking at me with her innocent doe eyes. So innocent! It only excites me more that she's
On one hand, I can't wait to see my family, but on the other hand, I'm not so eager to see my relatives. I guess everyone has those few aunts and uncles who are concerned about anything other than their own lives. Well, those relatives focus a lot on my life, especially since I'm the most outspoken member of the family. "Outspoken" in their vocabulary means that I don't accept all the nonsense they say, but also that I strongly support my point of view. Honestly, I can't wait for these few days to pass. I can already imagine what it will be like when they see Damon; Dad won't stand him because he only tolerates those drunk idiots from the village who work in construction or steal. My brother will be neutral because he's the type who gets along with everyone. Grandma will love him, I know that because she always wanted me to have a serious boyfriend who dresses in a suit. Dressing in a suit was among her standards when she married my late grandfather. The car we're in attrac
From Elenor’s perspective I rushed with my grandma to my godmother's to bring her some pills. I'm sorry I left Damon at home with my dad, but I couldn't take him with me. It would have sparked more rumors than his car, which everyone is talking about now. Honestly, my godmother doesn't really support me, and neither do I, but I have to keep up appearances because she's my grandmother's sister. She's never supported me, and my grandma knows that. She has a daughter just as grumpy as her, and she also had a son who died in an accident, leaving behind a wife and three children. I can't say I feel sorry because I don't. He committed suicide because he was gambling, and then the whole thing was covered up so his wife could benefit from a large sum of money from his job. His wife is a very foolish woman, she's not employed, she throws money around on clothes and perfumes that she wears in this small town where nobody cares. She only has a few grades of education, which
-Happy birthday, I warmly say to the woman who took care to make sure I lacked nothing even though she had no obligation.-I'm old, I don't think I should celebrate anything anymore. Maybe I'll die tomorrow, she says.-You're talking nonsense, I joke, managing to bring a smile to her face. Deep down, I'm afraid of the day when she won't be here anymore. I know I'll blame myself to the core for not spending enough time with her, but I can't split myself. Thank goodness for my brother who is always here, otherwise, I'd feel terrible knowing that his grandchildren aren't around him, for whom he dedicated his life. I notice her smile widen even more on her face, wrinkled with age. I turn to where her gaze settles and see Damon.-Excuse me for interrupting, but I'd like to talk to Elenor. I hope it doesn't bother you, he says.-It doesn't bother me, young man. I'll leave you to talk to Elena. After my grandma leaves to talk to her daughter, I turn my attention to Damon, who seems to have c
From Elenor’s perspective:-Hey, Grandma! Do you know where Dad, Marc, and Damon went? I ask, noticing that I can’t find any of them.-I don’t know. I thought they were in the yard.-Me too, but it seems they’re not. I look for Marc, but he doesn’t respond. Goodness, this is ridiculous! Where on earth have they all gone? I’m getting really anxious. I hope Dad or Damon haven’t done something foolish. The ringing of the phone breaks the silence in the living room. I rush to pick it up, hoping it’s one of the three missing people. My hope shatters when I see an unknown number calling, but I answer anyway.-Hello!-Hello! Elenor, it’s your uncle Vince.-Yes, Uncle. Has something happened?-Your father and brother went into my club with a guy. Well, that guy got into a fight with two other boys. Can you please come and get them quickly before the police arrive?”-I’m on my way,” I say, full of nerves. I can’t believe it! How old are they? Six? They’ve started fighting like crazy in
Hades-Father, understand that I can't come to dinner tonight!-Not a word! -Old man, understand that this is an important shipment! I can't afford to miss it.-Damn it! I don't care anymore, and I don't want to hear anything, he shouted at me, ending the call.And that was my conversation with Dad this morning. He and Uncle James always insisted on having a family dinner at least once a month. James and his wife are part of our family, being very close friends with my parents. I knew I had no choice but to be present at this dinner. Mom isn't allowed to stress because she has heart problems since my grandfather died, and I'm very aware that if I hadn't gone to this dinner, she would have likely stressed out, knowing what I'm involved in. I love my family, but I wanted to handle this shipment myself because it's going to be delivered to my Russian friend, Aleksei. He is the leader of the Russian mafia but also one of the most trustworthy men I know.When I enter the house, I'm g
Hey, dear readers, I'm excited to announce that there will be a volume two of this book. It will feature Hades, the eldest son of the Black family, in the spotlight.Hades is the leader of the most powerful mafia in the world, the Sicilian Mafia. He is one of the cruelest mobsters. Devoid of a heart, but with the appearance of a Greek god, he doesn't let anyone stand in his way.Amalia Pop, a drug trafficker from a city in Romania, is a girl who has lost much in life, from family to her own soul. Now she does everything she can to survive, even if it means pulling off the biggest drug heist of her life.But what happens when she manages to tick off the most ruthless devil of the mafia? Hades Black. Will she be able to escape from him?I will leave you with a few scenes featuring Hades and Amalia:-Are you afraid of me? he asks expressionlessly.-Please, let me go or kill me! Please!That's none of your business!Oh, darling! It kind of is because you've become my new obsession.What a
10 years later:-How was your day, my angel? Damon asks, sitting next to me on the couch. I'm so tired. Since I opened my own marketing firm, I've focused all my efforts on it, to the point where I couldn't even spend much time with my family. Luckily, Damon came up with the idea of bringing a nanny into the house to take care of our three children. Hades is already 10 years old and, along with Ares, who is 7, they are a handful. I wanted to stop at the second child, but Damon convinced me to have another one, and I didn't regret it. I was thrilled that it was a girl because I wouldn't be surrounded only by men in this house, but at the same time, I felt sorry for her because I don't know how the three males will react when she gets her first boyfriend. Hope is 5 years old, and she often stays with Sindy and James's daughter, Deborah. Hope and Deborah were born a few weeks apart and have been inseparable since then. In my heart, I hope they remain best friends like Sindy and I.
I don't know when I've ever been more emotional in my life than the second I heard "yes" from her. She agreed to be mine. She agreed for me to be hers, and now we have to deal with what lies ahead. The wedding preparations are moving quickly, mainly because I agreed for the wedding to be in two weeks. Well, I wanted it to be the day after she accepted the proposal, but she insisted on at least giving her two weeks for the preparations, and as always, I yielded. Fortunately, only a few days are left now, and it will be over.-You don't need to get too involved, I know you have a lot of work, especially since you opened the new club.-I don't want to hear it. I really want to be involved in this wedding. Because I know I won't be involved in our kids' weddings.-One child isn't enough for you, she asks, laughing. Ah, how I adore her smile, especially when I know it's meant for me. I can't help but kiss her at least once when it appears on her face.-I want as many as possible
-So, little blonde, should I forgive you for not telling me about the blonde?-Well, Eli, I really wanted to tell you. But it happened a long time ago.-Tell me everything, I say nervously.-Well, two months ago, I met a guy on a dating app. He started to become insistent, so I turned him down. Then he left. And we didn't see each other again. Until one day he waited for me to leave work, and, she says hesitantly as if reliving everything that happened. He slapped me, then he tried to lift me, but then James showed up and beat him so badly that I don't think he looks the same anymore. Then I looked into his eyes and fell in love on the spot, then we spent a night together, she says smiling.-So, what about the date you mentioned?-Oh, that one, she says trying to seem embarrassed.-I went on a date with a guy because I wanted to make him jealous. Then he showed up at our table, hugged me, and ran away with me. I roll my eyes at her. What a little fox! I think the blonde will go cra
From Damon’s perspective: After a few days since the incident, Eleanor still speaks hesitantly. Hesitant might be an overstatement. She only speaks when I address her, and I feel desperate. Why doesn't she yell at me? I want to hear that sinful mouth of hers nagging at me all day, and then I punish her as I know best.-Sir, dinner is ready! Would you like dinner to be served in the office?-No, Agatha. I'll come down. Please, inform Eleanor as well.-I've already been to Miss Eleanor, sir, but she asked me to bring dinner to her room.-That won't be necessary. Miss Eleanor will come down.-Understood. Does this little brat want to get on my nerves or what? I traverse the path to her room in a few seconds. If she wants us to play, then we'll play. I slam the door of our bedroom against the wall, and she startles, fixing her eyes on me.-Is this how it's going to be? she asks bewilderedly.-What do you mean?-Look, I understand that the recent event has affected you, but I don'
The images of the building where I worked for so many years burning down flash before me as Veronica runs with me, hand in hand, as far away from this place as possible. We turn left onto a side street, and Veronica stops to catch her breath.-What happened? Veronica's expression becomes impassive. She examines me as if to make sure I'm okay, then positions herself to my right.-Miss Eleanor! I watched the surveillance cameras and saw a suspicious man with a gun. I knew something was going to happen. So, I got you out of there to protect you. Mr. Black will tell you more!-How? How do you know Damon? And how did you have access to the company's surveillance cameras?-I'll wait with you until the car comes to pick you up. She turns as if on cue and scans the area without answering my question. Her attitude raises questions. Just half an hour ago, we were joking in the office, and now she treats me as if she doesn't know me. My thoughts are drowned out by the sound of the
In the second week since I returned to the company, the company owner promoted me to the position of CEO, but not because of my merits, but because I am the only one he trusts after Alberto moved to the competition. Well, I can also say it's because I brought in many investors to the company. Honestly, I don't know whether to complain about it or not, but what's certain is that I have fallen far behind. I have a lot of projects to analyze, and I have two important meetings to prepare for.-Miss Eleanor, I startle, looking at my assistant. "Excuse me, I knocked, but you didn't hear me.-It's okay, Veronica! Did something happen?-Mr. Black called, he said he wants you to call him urgently. I wanted to connect you through the landline, but you were on another call.-I'll call him as soon as I can! Any news about next week's meeting?-No. Nothing has changed yet, but knowing Mr. Smith, it will surely take place this week.-Oh, goodness, this man doesn't know how to announce thin
From Elenor’s perspective:-Are you ready? Did you get everything? Sindy stands up from the couch to greet me, but when she sees I don't have any luggage in my hands, she looks at me, silently asking, "What's going on? -Well... Sindy, I changed my mind!-What? But you sounded so determined on the phone. Eli, did this man do something to you? -What could he possibly do? I startle as I hear Damon's voice, turning my whole body towards him.-You heard right, don't make me repeat it, she yells at Damon.-Sindy, it's not like that at all... -Eli, come with me! There's no question of you staying here anymore. You have me.-It's not your decision, miss! My beloved can make decisions without you imposing them. Plus, I won't let her leave this house without me. -She's my friend! -And my beloved," he says, wrapping his arm around my waist.-Sindy, everything is fine. We've sorted everything out. We had a discussion a few minutes ago and clarified everything. I was very nervous, and that's wh
