I struggled to gather my thoughts, still reeling from the intensity of what had just happened.
That was what they called adult sex, and my goodness, what an overwhelming experience, not like any I have ever felt, not like I had much experience in the department.
"You're like an animal," I blurted out between breaths.
Smirking, he replied, "Yes, we both are," as he pulled me close into his arms.
"No, you are," I insisted, playfully hitting his chest.
With a smile, he added, "If you say so," before kissing me once more.
We both lay glued in each other's arms, naked and glistening with sweat, enjoying the aftermath of our shared passion.
After a while, he got up, I felt a bit dizzy and asked, "Where are you going?" while glancing at him.
"I'll be right back," he replied.
"Wait! You're not going out like that, are you?" I said, quickly covering myself with his jacket. He was standing there completely naked, his di
***Did I mishear him? I pondered quietly, waiting for his response.Time stretched as I waited for him to speak. Instead, he simply stared at me, making me even more confused. My heart fluttered nervously in my chest.I settled back onto his chest, seeking the warmth of his body. "Let's just forget about that. It was probably just a misunderstanding," I suggested softly, though a part of me wished it were true.After what felt like an eternity, he spoke again. "It wasn't a mistake," Alex confessed quietly.I pushed myself up again, sitting upright and fixing my gaze on him. "Do you even realize what you're saying?" I questioned, my tone filled with disbelief and admonishment. "You can't just blurt out something like that without thinking, Mr. Kova," I scolded, feeling like my heart was about to leap out of my chest.God, what am I supposed to do? The rush of excitement threatened to overwhelm me. What if he didn't mean it? That would be a booma.He rested his head on the makeshift pi
***Sighing loudly, I sat down on the large sofa in my room and took a deep breath, staring intently at the phone in my hand.After that mind-blowing night we had two days ago, I begged Alex not to make an official announcement about us yet, at least until after I informed my parents about it. And because he was eager to make me his official partner, he handed me a phone the next day."Call them!" he orderedWhich was weird. “Crazy man, but I love him still!” I murmured to the empty room, sighing. Although I would love to go to him, many things had happened while we were mating like crazy dogs.Rick had come back home with Avanska half dead, and thanks to Drew being around, he was currently receiving treatment. When we came out of the room that night, everyone was trying their best not to make knowing faces. Yep, they were trying not to show that they knew what we had been doing inside the bedroom.Being the shameless bitch that I was, I kept a straight face. There was nothing to be as
***As I followed Alex into the room, I couldn't help but notice that Drew somehow managed to slip past me and enter first. What was up with that? I wondered, but the sight that greeted me as I pushed open the tiny door quickly overshadowed my curiosity.The array of equipment spread throughout the room amazed me. Though the door to the room was small, it felt twice the size of Alex’s room.In the center stood a staircase leading down to the lower control room. Men and women of all ages sat at computer terminals, their eyes glued to the screens in front of them. The room buzzed with activity, and I could see several CCTV screens showing different locations.“Wow! This is amazing,” I whispered to myself, feeling a mixture of awe and nervousness. But my excitement faded when I noticed the guards glaring at me with suspicion. Their stern looks made me uneasy, like I didn’t belong there.Turning my attention away from the guards, I spotted Alex and Drew at the lower control room, deep in
****As the gunshots continued, I didn’t just end the call, I couldn’t move. My eyes were closed; I could visualize my parents on the ground bleeding to death, crying for help as their enemy stood close to them with bloody guns and knives in their hands ready to end them completely.My heart was hurting. I’ve never felt this much pain before. I suddenly grabbed my chest as an overwhelming emotion took over me. It was so strong; that I felt dizzy.Was it pain, anger, sadness? I do not know, but it felt so strong that my brain froze, panting heavily.Alex, who suddenly saw Sophie's pained expression, took the phone from her.“Hello!” he spoke into the phone.“Sophie, I can’t talk now…” There were multiple gunshots heard in the background,“Mrs Rust, this is Alexander Kova,” he introduced himself and halted,They were in a long pause. “Oh! Mr Kova, It's been a while, thank you for taking care of my daughter,” Wild Cat breathed into the phone, “But I’ve got to go now, it was a pleasure kn
***Nobody was saying anything, and that was fine with me. I welcomed the silence with open arms. I held onto my father's hand, our smiles mirroring each other's. The last time I saw him was the morning of the attack that led to this mess. You can imagine just how much I missed him."Sorry to disturb your reunion, but if you don’t mind, I need to check up on him," Drew suddenly announced, breaking the peaceful moment and disturbing our bonding time.I glared at him. "Seriously, right now?" I snapp"It's okay, dear," my father said with a gentle smile, seeing my expression. I moved away only an inch, and he just laughed. "Stubborn as ever," he added."You've got no idea," Drew replied as he began his checkup.Everyone stood by and watched. The fact that my family was here, safe and sound, was all that mattered. I couldn’t believe my parents were here, alive and well. I turned to the men responsible, my voice thick with emotion. "Thank you for saving my parents," I exclaimed, wiping the
The saga continues---The room fell silent, at Alex's words. Em and Daniel exchanged wary glances, realizing the dangerous game they were being dragged into, forced to confront secrets they had long kept hidden.Sighing, Emily blurted out, “I can’t believe they’ve already started with the experiment.”“What?” Drew asked, surprised.Daniel nodded to his wife in agreement, ready to reveal a national secret. “It all started with the creation of MANA.”“Huh? What is that, a person?” Rick, who had been silent until now, asked, confusion clouding his features.Not just him, the whole group was confused.“No, it's a psychotic drug that was meant to make one superhuman. Or at least, that's what it was supposed to do,” Daniel explained, his voice tinged with dread.Alex met Drew's gaze, his expression unreadable. “Excuse me?” he i
***The long pause was filled with tension as everyone stared at Alex. He understood their confusion but saw an opportunity and took it.Under normal circumstances, people like the Rusts would never want anything to do with him, let alone give their daughter to a gangster, an outlaw. No way in hell.Emily's gaze remained fixed on Alex, her confusion palpable. “And I’m asking again, why do you want my daughter?” she demanded.Alex leaned in, his expression inscrutable. “You’ll know when the time is right. Agree to my terms, or the deal is off,” he said, turning on his heel and walking toward the door.“Wait a minute,” she called after him. He halted. “You cannot just declare something so confusing and not explain yourself. I know we came to ask for help, but the least you can do is tell us what you mean and what you want her for.”Daniel, who had been silent in his bed, understood what Alex was implying, though he was somewhat surprised. How did the relationship between Sophie and this
****Continuation****Rick stared after Drew, stunned, as a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. The sterile white walls of the Kovas hallway seemed to close in around him. “He just punched me!” he sputtered, his voice a mix of shock and indignation.Avanska, stood nearby with an amused glint in his eye. He tilted his head slightly, studying Rick's incredulous expression. "I have a feeling he's more pissed by you calling him an old man than by the comparison to your dead father," he remarked, his voice carrying a hint of dry humor.Rick's mind raced, replaying the moment when his careless words had slipped out, and he had called Drew an old man. He barely had time to process Avanska's comment when a sharp, stinging pain in his jaw reminded him of the punch's brutal reality. "What the fuck..?" He muttered pissed.The few Kovas guards and personnel in the hallway began to murmur, eyes darting between Rick and the direction Drew
