All Chapters of Cruel Heart: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

His intense kisses, his slides through my body, made me shiver as everything that was hot became more. My body felt like flames screaming amidst an erupting volcano and I couldn't say anything over the loud sounds my mouth was making. Kaanadan was driving me more and more crazy and when my limit reached… God, it was inexplicable.The scene from this morning after my comment still plays in my head. My body boils just remembering it and it unsettles me more than I could have thought normal. I don't deny that I was almost, well almost, falling for his game; I was almost giving up, hiding any fear that makes me stop and think. But your cell phone rang and the only thing that made me give up was your call to work...“Celeste?I come to my senses.I blink a few times and turn my attention to Marga, who says something I don't understand. What a bad friend I am...We're in a coffee shop, which is right in the center of the city and great for distraction, even though it's not the sight of

A buzzing invades my head as the bullet approaches both sides of my head. When I open my eyes, already wet with tears, I see three dead bodies in a lake of blood. Dimitri and his two cronies, of course. Both sides of me are lying forward with gunshots to the neck and head; As for Dimitri, a shot to the chest that went through his back.I look up at Kaanadan and his hand, holding a weapon, slowly lowers, while his eyes come towards me calmly. — How many times will I have to ask you to trust me, Celeste?My voice doesn't come out. I know that, it's that damn feeling of shock, where it blocks you from the easiest movements and attitudes. I look around, noticing at the door, Scott and Stefano, both lowering their guns pointed at the sofa. They killed their companions...— I don't think I'm okay... — I murmur to myself, putting my hand to my throbbing head, feeling a pain consume me.— Celeste? — Kaanadan makes me look at him and then everything goes dark...I woke up with a buzzing so

I woke up to an insistent vibration on the table next to the bed. I lifted my head, groggy from sleep, and then I realized it was my cell phone. I looked to the side and Kaanadan was still sleeping, thrown to the side while the blanket only covered him from the hips down. I took a deep breath and picked up the device, noticing the unknown number that had called me about five times yesterday. I think about ignoring it like every time he called me, but, imagining that this will make him call me again, I answer.- Who is it? — I ask, sitting on the bed.I look at the clock on the table next to Kaanadan and notice that it's barely five in the morning.Who in their right mind would call someone at this time?The silence on the call makes me take a deep breath to stay awake and ask again:—Who is speaking?If you don't speak, that would be the right question.The call then ends and I stare at the cell phone screen for a while. How strange... I check the number, trying to find it, but

KAANADAN SALVATOREA kiss that is not soft or calm. It was the craziest definition that could go through my head when I pulled her towards me, closing my arm around her waist and with the other hand steadying her head, making it impossible for her to even think about leaving.Celeste dug her fingers into my hair, drawing me to her as tightly as my arms do to her body. I tasted her mouth, deepening something that was clearly already intense, doing something that I know pleases her: I pulled her tongue with mine; losing myself in the sensation of kissing her so intensely that my own body ordered itself to press her against the door, forcing my body against hers, making us both sigh. Her lips moved with mine, increasingly hot and moist. We were devouring each other, almost literally.I pulled her leg higher on my hip, keeping her around my waist, hearing her moan against my lips. As the effect of everything she had on me, my own body was already waking up, warming up while the way her

— I'll see later. — I whispered, still tense from what I said. — Until what time will the body be available? — I looked at Scott, who was watching so no one saw us.— Until dinner; It's the moment when everyone is in here and people carry the body.I nodded.It passed me and headed inside. I saw him disappear down the corridors and then I headed towards the room. I didn't know what was coming, but the bad feeling in my chest was already present.I tried to put it out of my mind immediately, I wouldn't worry Kaanadan right after a confrontation.He arrived a few hours later, going straight to the bathroom. Visually, with the suit neatly ironed without a single stain, it seemed intact, as if nothing had actually happened since the morning. But, as I got up from the armchair and followed him to the bathroom, I saw his jacket being removed, leaving a glimpse of his white shirt soaked in blood, torn in several parts, and finished with marks that reveal the bloody day.His eyes were s
