Oh shit.I peeped out the door, still finding the two men seated, their eyes on the bar, searching.Shit, what had I gotten myself into?I couldn't leave in the middle of a shift and what was the chance they weren't going to be waiting for me outside. Below zero.I gulped down my fear, drying my sweaty palms on my jeans before walking out, feeling their eyes burning into me as I manned the bar again."You okay?" Luke asked, his eyes crinkling in worry as he glanced at me.I nodded gleamly, I couldn't tell him that two men were probably going to kidnap me or torture me once I leave the bar. Going home with him wasn't an option, they would definitely beat him up and leave him in a ditch him somewhere where the police wouldn't find him for the next three days.I was definitely watching way too much crime movies.I glanced at the men through the corner of my eye, finding the one who had chased after me, his body clad in a black suit, a tie knotted at his throat as he laughed at something
~Jacob's pov~What the fuck was I thinking? I thought, slamming my head into the steering wheel.Correction, I probably wasn't thinking at all.I could barely think around her, her blood always pulled at me and tonight I had almost lost it, my control had tethered at its edge. I had almost sunk my teeth into her enticing flesh and had a taste of what I had fantasized over for months now. It had gotten worse these past weeks, I literally had to close my eyes and a picture of her in that sexy gown would pop in my head.The attraction was unexplainable, so I had come up with one solution. The only probable solution.To fuck her out of my system.~end of Jacob's pov~I watched as Jacob pulled out, watched as his car sped down the road.A proposition for what? Was it for my dad's money laundering debt?Wondering why all these question hadn't come up when I had been in the car with him. How would they pop up when i was consumed with his presence? I thought derisively. I was basically br
What?I hadn't actually heard him right, had I?I looked up, finding fierce dark eyes on me, hooded fierce dark eyes."What?", I voiced out, after convincing myself that I had probably heard him wrong."I'm sure you heard me darling", Jacob drawled, leaning by his desk, putting his hands into his slack's pocket."No I didn't", I fired, stepping back and feeling the elevator's cold doors behind my body."Me. You. A bed. Naked and tangled up with my cock deep inside you and your moans draining out any other sound from my ears". I hitched in a breath as Jacob enunciated each word, the image slowly building up in my head as my sex began to throb with hot, clenching desire."Is that enough description for you?", Jacob asked, tilting his head in a predatory way. "Or do you want me to be more vulgar?"I shook my head, my brain trying to connect words to form in my mouth. "That's your proposition?""It seems I wasn't clear enough", Jacob countered.I raised my hand, indicating for him to sto
"You must be delusional", I whispered, scoffing even as my heart fluttered around, in contrast to the frown on my face."Aren't we all?", Jacob bit back in a low voice, his eyes glinting in the dim limo."I'm not your property. I'm no one's property", I said firmly, "Get that through your dark skull".Jacob huffed out a laugh, his eyes growing hazy, "Your fire always manages to turn me on. Every fucking time"."Now, aren't we forgetting another tiny detail?", He said, leaning forward and leveling his eyes with mine.I glared as he smirked, "Someone is in debt of two hundred million and a hundred thousand dollars"."Then find that someone", I seethed, gritting my teeth in anger."And here I thought blood was thicker than water", Jacob mumbled, chuckling to himself."Yeah you would know", I jibed, wondering where all my nervousness had gone."I do know that blood is thicker than water. That's why I'm here""You want to hold the debt to me?". "You have an army of techies at your disposal
Lanie came with three dresses and her bag full of makeup, she was a life saver."Choose your poison", Lanie announced, gesturing to the three dresses she had spread on the bed when she had arrived."I kinda like the blue one but the red would be fire on her especially with her eyes", Sacha chimed in, staring at the dresses."The red it is", I said, picking up the red dress from the bed and holding it to my body in front of the full length mirror, admiring how it looked on my skin. The dress was a simple and short bodycon dress with spaghetti hand for sleeves and a push up bra that did exactly what it meant, pushed up the breast.I put on the dress, feeling eyes on me all the way."Are you taller than me?"Lanie questioned, her face scrunching up in a frown as she studied the dress on me."How the heck are you taller than me?""Don't hate the game, Lanie", I whispered, laughing as I twirled around in the mirror.I was ready, my hair was curled up, exposing my neck as tendrils of curls
The voices woke me upThere was an annoying female one that was panicky and high pitched like it couldn't go lower and if it went any higher, the voice would become a screech.There was a male one that sounded lazy, telling the woman to shut it or he was going to throw her out.The third one was one I recognized, one I recognized very well, Connor's. I opened my eyes, and behold there he was, standing above me with a scary smile on his face."You're awake", he announced and two other sets of eyes turned to me sharply. I had been tied to a chair, I noted as my arms hissed in sharp pain when I tried to flex it and my eyes went round the room. A basement of some kind, I wondered if I was still in the house of the Kemlers"What do you want?" I said calmly, hiding my panic behind a firm voice.The woman scoffed and my eyes narrowed on her, her fake extensions obvious to everyone within a five feet radius."What I want is quite simple, Dalia", Connor said, catching my attention as he cro
"Well, I wouldn't say betrayed", Manuel corrected as we all stared at him. He was a vampire alright, I thought in my head, the way he grabbed people's attention."More like put off, all because of some silly mistake", He continued, pacing in front of me. "Jacob can be very temperamental"."Why are you telling me all this?" I asked with a straight face, masking the fear in my voice with indifference."So you would see I have no other reason but to do this", Manuel answered, like it should be that easy for everybody to understand."I was cursed because of that silly mistake and now I have to score the earth only at night because I can't even get a fucking daylight ring""How do I fit into all this?", I bit out. "I don't have his blood in me"."You do and now I'm tired of this chit chat", Manuel countered, exposing his fangs in a sardonic smile."About time", the man by the door groaned."Wait", Connor chimed in, "you remember the bargain right?"Manuel arched a very bushy eyebrow, "Th
"What do you mean by the last time I was here?", I repeated, my voice sounding brittle to my ears. Elda kept silent, looking round the room for imaginary signs of dust."I asked a question", I bit off. "What do you mean by the last time I was here?""Have I been here before?"In all honesty, I considered being less harsh, seeing as Elda looked like she wanted to cry but I had to. I needed to know if Jacob had taken my memories again."Elda", I sighed. "I just need to know""There's nothing to know from my end, miss", Elda responded wearily. "It was a slip of my tongue"."It wasn't", I argued, beginning to feel frustrated. "And stop talking to me like I'm a child""I'm very sorry, Miss"."Oh come on now", A voice sounded, the accent unrecognizable as the door swung open, revealing Sydney in an all black garb, her pose relaxed and yet still daunting."Why are you shouting at poor Elda?"I glared at her, "Where is Jacob?".Sydney's silver eyes gleamed, "Just because I act nice, it does
