MIRAMason picks me up and makes his way into the room, our bath water momentarily forgotten. I stare into his heated eyes with confusion, trying to figure out what the hell is going on. He looks straight ahead, not even sparing me a glance.He lowers me onto the comfy bed and steps back, staring at me through hodded eyes.I fight the urge to cover my hardened nipples with my palm."What now?" I whisper.He grabs my ankles and pulls me towards the edge of the mattress, then he gets down on one knee between my widely spread thighs.What the hell is going on?Before I can even blink, his strong fingers wrap around my ankles, holding them in place, and his head descends between my legs."Fuck! Mason, nngh!" I cry out in shock as his mouth comes in contact with my throbbing core.My back archs of the bed and I try to push him off, unable to bear the myraid of emotions that assail me, but he pins me down, and slips his tongue into my moist channel.Pleasure rushes into the pit of my stomac
MIRAI can hear Halloway's ramblings as Mason holds my arms, pinning me in place. I try to escape but he narrows his eyes at me, and I remain still.Hurt churns in my gut as I remember his words.'Do not disrespect Halloway.' But little miss perfect has the leeway to disrespect me. Not in this life."Yes. I added that to my schedule. I will be there."Mason disconnects the call and stares at my bent head without a word. I can feel his heated gaze all over me."Look at me, Mira." He says finally.I fold my now free arms and keep my head low. I hear his sharp intake of breath just before he wraps his arms around me, slamming me against him.Shock courses through my veins. My eyes go wide, and I dig my nails into his shoulders, trying to maintain my balance.Mason picks me up, walking forward until the backs of my thighs encounter cold, smooth marble. He sets me down on the marble counter and proceeds to stand between my legs, keeping my thighs firmly apart with his fingers wrapped aro
MIRASydney sashays in our direction in a puff of pink and flair. He stops directly before us, holding out a hand to me. I flick a glance at Mason to find his lips twitching with a suppressed smile."And who might this dark haired goddess be?"I place my hand hesitantly in his, and he places a chaste kiss on the back of my palm."Mira. Nice to meet you." I murmur.He eases back, but still holds on to my fingers, while his expressive blue eyes access me."Mm, Mira. You have gorgeous hair. God, think about all the things we could do with that marvellous colour."I smile." Thank you." I like Sydney. He seems like a really great guy." If you're still interested in keeping both your balls, I would advice you to ease off." Comes Mason's cold, steely voice.I freeze. Sydney is obviously gay. There is nothing wrong with him touching me…is there?Thankfully, he eases off without a word of complaint."My apologies, sir. What will I be doing for you today? Do you have a theme in mind?"He dir
MIRA"Can you please go a bit faster?"The driver responds by stepping on the accelerator, propelling the already speeding car forward.I grip the leather seats with shaky fingers, trying to shrug off the feeling of dread that tightens my stomach. "Did he tell you anything?" I ask the stone faced guard for the hundredth time.He shakes his head."I do not believe there is anything to be particularly worried about, Miss. Mr. Lachlan is fine."" You didn't hear him." I retort sharply. " He didn't sound okay." The guard lifts one brow at me and I lower my eyes."Sorry." I whisper, turning to the windows.The beautiful Hawaiian city flies by in a blur. I do not notice it…I do not notice anything other than the tuneless thumping of my heart against my chest. The sun is burning in it's full glory, but I feel strangely cold.I tell myself that I'm just worried about Mason like a fellow human being would, but my subconscious lets out a loud, mocking 'ha! "Sydney's words plague me. I know M
MIRAMason snaps his fingers and the room is instantly illuminated with bright lights. I stare up at him, trying in vain to calm my raging heartbeat.He looks…different. His eyes are dark and glazed over. It appears like he's staring at me, but not actually seeing me. As my fog of fear disappears, I realize that he is trembling above me.His hands pin mine in place over my head, and his hard body is snug between my thighs."Mr. Lachlan?""Do not fucking call me that, Mira!" He roars. I flinch, pressing myself further into the bed. My eyes widen in shock at the intensity of his anger.What the hell has got his knickers in a twist?As if realising that he just yelled at me, the anger drains from his eyes. He sinks his head into the crook of my neck and remains there."You belong to me, Mira." He whispers.I lie still and silent, unsure what to do, or say. I have no idea what has got Mason in this state. After what feels like an eternity with him still wrapped around me, I heave a breat
MIRAI look down at the dress Sydney and I finally agreed upon this afternoon…or I agreed, rather. I do not know if Mason's party is some kind of princess ball, but Sydney kept suggesting those overly expensive, tissue-like, fluffy dresses. I hated all of them.The dress on the bed is expensive, too. Exorbitantly so. The money I spent on it will cost me an arm and a leg to replace, but it was the best dress I saw. I bought it without even thinking about the consequences. Sydney threw a fit.I haven't seen Mason since our little altercation yesterday. He just disappeared. Today, I came out of the bathroom to find a box accompanied with a note.It read,"The party is by nine o'clock tonight. Use the jewelry enclosed in this box, and do not be late."Even the message sounded cold and uncaring. I opened the box and gasped at what I saw. There, lying admidst a nestle of lush pillows was an expensive looking, all diamond choker.Yes, the entire choker is made of diamonds. Real diamonds. I
MIRAThere is anger, and there is just plain jealousy. Right now, Halloway's eyes gleam with both. She accesses me with a narrowed eyed look. Her eyes widen when it fixates on the diamond choker on my neck. A bitchy part of me is suddenly glad I wore it.I lift my chin and stare her down. She pointedly ignores me, giving Mason all her attention."Hey, Mason. How are you?"She rises on her tippy toes and places a kiss on both his cheeks. Mason immediately lets go of my arm. Stunned, I watch as he wraps both arms around Halloway's waist, pulling her close. He places a kiss on her forehead and the cameramen go crazy, snapping and clicking away. My chest tightens with a feeling I cannot explain. The room suddenly feels too hot. Looking at them, the feeling of inadequacy that swamped me when I stepped in here comes back with a vengeance.I step back. Mason doesn't even notice, so I turn and walk away, trying not to grab Halloway by her hair and fling her across the room.Worse still, t
MIRAI place my hand in Devon's, giving him free rein to take the lead. I am well aware that I have just made an alliance with the devil, but I do not particularly care.His eyes light up with a devious expression as he slowly leads me past the talkative ladies, to the dancefloor."She came with one man, but is dancing with another. A true whore." One of the ladies whisper. I pay them no heed. The rage coupled with jealousy that burns deep in my veins makes it difficult to concentrate on anything other than the memory of the soft look in Mason's eyes when he stared at Halloway earlier. He doesn't look at me like that.I am suddenly hit with the realisation that I do not want Mason angry with me 24/7. I want him to look at me that way, too.And that is when I realise I am in trouble. I'm in deep, deep shit.Halloway looks over Mason's shoulder and gives me a smile, looking like the feral cat that got the cream. Her eyes trail to my companion, and they widen almost comically.Devon
