All Chapters of Their Fatal Obsession: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

SerenaDisgusted. I was repulsed with myself to the extent my head was killing me. The shame remained, skittering around my mind like a dagger waiting to cut me into ribbons. I'd been locked into a room, albeit an incredible and very beautiful room, by three men who'd abducted me.There was no cage, no steel harnesses attached to the ceiling, although I hadn't seen the entire house. Anything was possible. I had no idea what to expect, the yin and yang of the situation keeping me teetering on the edge. They acted as if they didn't want to hurt me then made certain any infraction was met with punishment.The glamorous space could be nothing more than another method of breaking me down. I'd had enough criminal psychology courses to know the classic signs. I was clammy, my head aching, and I was sick to my stomach with fear and worry. I wasn't going to talk my way out of this, that was certain.Even worse, I could still feel Florian's hands all over me, the brutal way he'd slammed me agai

SerenaI pushed him hard, slapping my hands against his chest, able to break the connection. "Don't! You need to leave or tell me who you are.""Who I am isn't important."I had to know the truth. "You risked your career and your life to kidnap me with two men you're not fond of. Although..." I thought about what I'd seen. "You knew the bounty hunter before. Didn't you?"He inhaled, holding his breath. "All your questions will be answered soon enough. Just know that... that I had my reasons. Ones that don't concern you.""Then why, Florian? Why?"Sighing, he brushed the side of my face then his grip tightened, anger flashing in his eyes. "Because I'm not a good man, Serena. Make no mistake about that. Your attempts at psychoanalyzing me aren't going to do you any damn good. Do you hear me? Drop it because it doesn't fucking matter.""I don't believe you. Call me crazy, but there's so much more going on here. Trust me enough to tell me or leave me alone. I'll stay in my room. I won't b

SerenaWithin seconds I was shattered again, another orgasm driving me into a blissful state of nirvana. Gasping for air, stars floated in front of my eyes. I had no idea how long the climax lasted, but I slumped against the mirror, blinking several times.Florian brushed his lips to my stomach, rubbing them back and forth before moving to a standing position and gathering me into his arms. "What do you think now, sweet Serena? Am I still a monster?"The answer wasn't an easy one. If he was a monster, what did that make me? "I'll ask...you...again?" My question was breathless. "Who are you?""A man who knows you far too well." His answer struck me in an odd fashion, as if he'd known me all his life.I struggled to figure out who he was, and not just the cop he'd as much as admitted being. He was more, someone I'd known before.He kissed my lips, growling as he blew across my cheek.What could I say? This was nothing but a riddle, a game that I had no understanding of, but there was no

FlorianThe unknown player in this ridiculous game was Anatoli. My distrust remained.I'd left Serena alone, insisting she remain in her room. We both needed time, myself more than the woman I'd just...taken. A bitter taste remained in my mouth and not because of the luscious girl who fueled every fire, igniting my loins in every manner. Sadly, I was disgusted with myself. She needed to know the truth about who I was in order to have any trust in what would have to occur.Breathtaking.Beautiful.Bold.There weren't enough words in the English language to describe her, or the way I felt about her. All I could think about at this point was protecting her, keeping her safe from the various monsters ready to thwart her life. Hissing, I could barely concentrate, my feelings raw and my nerves on edge.An alternate plan would put all of us in danger, and it would only work if Toli was exactly who he purported himself to be. I'd been very succinct about what I wanted inside the safehouse, in

Florian"What in the hell was that?" Drew asked, moving closer. "Who is Lucian, your blackmailer?"Toli growled under his breath. "Things have changed. Haven't they, Florian? What did you just do?""I didn't do anything and yes, Lucian Masters is the man pulling the initial strings. Don't underestimate him either. He's a pig, but one with connections," I huffed. "We're going to be given additional instructions." I held out the phone, staring at the screen. "This is...bullshit.""Yeah, well right now, we're not in a position to argue," Drew shot back. "You put us in this mess.""We all put ourselves in this, Drew," Toli corrected.Toli move closer and when I heard the sound of an incoming text, I cringed before pressing my finger on the screen, reading the requirements. "Jesus. Fucking. Christ." There were no other adequate words to describe the chilling wave shifting down the back of my legs.Drew jerked the phone from my hand, narrowing his eyes as he glared at the screen. "They want
