Even before she entered the dining room, she felt his eyes on her. Titan Black was the preeminent dark dominating force in every atmosphere he entered, and he effortlessly leached ease and freedom wherever he was. He made everyone cower, or think twice before speaking or acting. Having lived here for a while, Olivia was aware of the vital force of him -and she tried to avoid it as much as possible. Today she tried to avoid it by not looking at his face or his eyes. She sat in her regular seat and started dishing out her dinner. "Hello everyone!" A friendly voice boomed with vibrancy. Olivia was surprised. Dinner was always a silent monotonous ceremony and nothing more. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall well-built six feet man with broad shoulders, long dark effeminate hair, and intelligent hazel eyes.It was as though he had completely transformed the atmosphere, tearing through the darkness and infusing warmth.Maya smiled at him. "Hey Ryan, good to have you
Olivia made her way back to her room, trying to convince herself of the opposite.It could simply be nothing but baseless gossip. Something unfounded that the omegas had to say just to keep their mouths busy while they worked. After all, as long as it had not been proven, it was not true. Yet the burning question remained. If it was indeed true that the omegas were lying, then what could have happened to the screaming spy? She recalled Maya's words:Titan does not forgive easily,Which meant it was unlikely he set the man free and then there was all that blood…She shook her head from side to side. It was hopeless thinking deeply about something not in her control and out of her bounds, oscillating between presumptions and nothing based on fact. There was just no point. Besides, if she did not want her mental health to take a beating, it was best to take her mind off things that could push her into a terrible state of mind. Perhaps it was best to bury her head in yet another book i
While Titan's thoughts were engulfed in brutality, he did not notice Maya walking up to him."Where have you been all day?""Out," He replied, turning towards his study.Maya knew well enough not to ask more questions. "Olivia asked me something weird today," she reported.Seems Olivia was the major trending topic of today."Out with it," Titan commanded."She asked me how your mate died", Maya responded, avoiding his eyes. Titan turned to look at her sharply. "What? What did you say?""I suspect she's starting to pick up on some of the gossip that flies around.""I asked what you told her,""Of course, I didn't say anything, Titan, I shut the conversation down."Titan kept looking straight ahead absorbing the information. "Look it might not be my place but I think you should tell her." Titan turned to look at her. Maya took a step back and added cautiously. "That is if you want to,""I don't want to," Titan snapped. "And you stick to the domestic matters that concern you. Is that c
The man kept staring and Olivia stared back. It was a game between them. A game of who would speak or move first. Olivia studied him. She estimated him to be about five feet eleven inches tall. Brutal scars were etched strategically across his face. As though whoever had chosen to beat him up had been deliberate about it. From his rough exterior, he looked like a man with a mind of his own, who carried his stories. They were, it would seem, a source of strength and laurels of bravery. Even his biceps and muscles had strength etched on them. His eyes were a different story altogether with so much intrigue and mystery. Like the type of person you would not mind telling your life story to, but you would walk away from the conversation feeling as though you learned nothing at all from your listener. He was not a handsome man with interesting features but he could not be classified as ugly either. Something about him screamed allure, danger, and adventure all rolled in one. He looked li
The smugness had not left his eyes. Olivia was sure there was something audacious about Asher and she had decided it was his lack of fear and intense innate fearlessness that made him want to embrace danger. "What are you doing here?" she asked. "Waiting for you," he responded. She moved towards the door as she spoke. "Well, I'm sorry but I have to go," Asher blocked the door and shook his head. "No, you don't," She made to move again and he blocked her. "Relax, I just want to talk." "You have your friends to talk to," she countered. Asher smiled and she noticed how the smile transformed his features, even unveiling a disguised handsomeness. "They get kind of boring," he said. "But something tells me you would be an interesting conversationalist." Olivia cocked her head to one side. "What gives you that impression?" "Well, Ryan said he's had interesting convos with you since he met you," "Ryan is practically a literary critic," Olivia rolled her eyes. "It's hard to look at
Olivia pushed against him, in half-hearted resistance. It was futile anyway because Titan was as strong as an oak. He barely staggered back. Instead, he drew her closer, running his hands over her back, and chest, and caressing her hair. His fingers roamed through her bare skin until they found her buttons. He unhooked them slowly and fingered her nipples. She found herself moaning. He moved from kissing her lips to her neck and she found herself closing her eyes, relishing the sensations, and clutching the back of his head. Then she realized that here she was again, hopelessly giving into the touch of Titan Black. She pushed him off her and bolted for the door. Puzzled by the abrupt change, Titan did not immediately react. Instead, he amused himself a bit by watching her fumble in vain for the locks. They were complicated, and only he understood them.After about a minute when he realized she was not going to give up, he grabbed her roughly from the door. "Let me go!""Shut the h
To her surprise, he simply walked into the room and headed for his bathroom. She heard him washing his face. Did he just pretend not to see her? He came out of the bathroom and began to strip off his clothes. Olivia watched him. First, he took off his shirt to reveal well-toned abs muscles, and biceps. Then he proceeded to remove his trousers and she was suddenly taken back in time to a glimpse of David Beckham she had once seen on television. It was the first time she had seen a man with criss crossed muscular thighs. Titan was evidently the second. Out of the blue, he spoke without looking at her."Staring or gawking like that is considered bad manners,"Olivia's cheeks were suddenly flushed from blushing. She looked away not knowing what to feel. Only Titan Black could make love to her the way he did and then treat her like a complete stranger the following morning."Don't you have anything to do other than sitting here and watching me take off my clothes? It's noon you know,""T
Titan did not take his eyes off her. With her side-parted blow-dried hair and the dark blue gown that gorgeously contrasted her skin tone, she looked beautiful. Her appearance reinforced Titan's decision. She was not going anywhere. He watched her smile radially at Ryan and graciously accept the compliment."Thanks, Ryan, it's good to see you," She directed her gaze at Asher. "And you too, Asher,""Ryan is right, you're a sight for sore eyes,"She smiled and tossed her hair over her shoulders. The smile vanished when she locked gazes with Titan."So?" Olivia asked."So what?" Titan responded gruffly."I can go out with Maya, right?""I believe you're not deaf or stupid," Titan snapped.Maya shook her head and sighed. Olivia's eyes flashed with rage, while Ryan and Asher tried to intervene."Come on man,""Just let her go…""Shut up before I lose my patience."Maya darted an apologetic glance at Olivia. "I'm sorry but you'll have to stay back,"Olivia was suddenly annoyed that she stat
