All Chapters of CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

EricaIt was late after dinner when I decided to go look for Antonio. It wasn’t that I was actively seeking him out, I just maybe wanted to establish the fact that I still hated him for kidnapping me and what happened between us didn’t change anything even though he might’ve freed me from my past in some sense of it. Yes. That was it. Nothing more.But there was also this lingering want to be near him and see how he would respond to me after what happened in his office. I held up my end of the deal. I did it. Something that to the last moment I wasn't sure if I could. I submitted to him, let him control me and gave the reins to him. And it turned out to be the.... best thing to have happened to me. I felt lighter, surprisingly the demons were quiet and the little devil on my shoulder was pushing me toward him.I wondered if he'd be as soft as he had been in his office after ravaging my mouth with his côck. Do I want him to? Not exactly. After everything that I had been through, there

EricaAfter a taking a long shower, mostly to cool myself and calm the thudding beat of my heart after my interaction with Antonio in his bed, which still felt like it happened in an alternate universe where we both were close to having playful banter or disagreement instead of verging on killing each other , I came out to find the bedroom empty. Half of me expected him to be here but I was relieved when I didn’t find him. After yesterday, after me going down on my knees for him, it felt like the dynamics had changed, like the Erica who had been ready with a sword and a bunchful of insults with rock hard walls around her wasn’t so ferocious and so gripped by anger left from the past anymore. It felt like with him, I not only took down release but also swallowed some of my own insecurities that I had hidden well behind those stone walls. Now it seemed that there was a window to let the sunlight in, in deep recesses of my soul lighting the path that had been nothing but filled with sha

EricaWith one hand around my throat and another at my nape, Antonio tilted my head up and back for the kiss. I wanted to keep it limited to the transaction. Kissing him as a thank you but instead I melted into him. As soon as his lips touched mine, my emotions not only came in the form of my tears, but now as he lifted me back up on the table, I parted my legs, inviting him closer so I could kiss him more deeply. My heart stalled in my ribcage as if afraid to beet any longer or else take in the emotions that were started to come out of the shadows.I told myself, it was okay to let my guard down for this moment. Hearing the worry in my sister’s voice and talking to Gabe had made my heart long for my family. But right now surrounded by him with his big body pressed against mine as his lips moved over mine and how his scent enveloped me, for one heart stopping moment I was confused if home was really far away. But I knew it was just my emotions and the way Antonio was kissing me, so s

EricaIt took close to an hour when they finished with my makeup and hair. One of them held out the tube of red lipstick for final touch up.As I stood there taking in my reflection in the mirror, I tried to shrug off the tension coiling in my muscles. But it seemed that Antonio was hell bent on keeping me bare for the public eyes since he had brought me here. Before him, I had never worn anything like this. I preferred my full sleeved hoodies and loose pajamas, and if occasion called then something that would be socially acceptable but not these clothes that shouldn't be titled such. These looked something for someone who was proud of her body or confident in showing it off, I wasn’t either of those.There was a soft knock on the bedroom door, making me jerk. But my shoulders went down when I saw it was just Ephraim. The feeling that went through me was half relief and half disappointment like I was hoping to see someone else. I shrugged that thought off and turned to face him.Ephra

AntonioI have never brought a woman with me to any event I had attended until now. Never even entertained the idea. And even as I had ordered Ephraim to arrange for the makeup artist and then the dress that I had myself selected which she hadn't liked much, there was this niggling doubt at the back of my mind that if I really wanted to change that. Now looking at her in that dress, I wondered if I should've left her behind, caged in my castle instead of letting all the men inside the mansion look at her. But wasn't that the very reason to bring her here, to let the men know what I have. When Ephraim had asked me about the reason for bringing her here, I had told him that it was just a strategic move to let the people know what happens when they cross me and to let Erica know how not even a president was above me. But now as she stood beside me in that skimpy dress and I thought about the men waiting on the other side of those double doors, it made me pause a bit. If she had given me
