SKYLAR DUVAL
I was soaking wet and shivering when we got back to the penthouse. He tugged me inside to my bedroom, helping me to the bathroom. The air sat heavy with some unknown emotions between us, and somehow, both of us knew saying a word now would only congest it further.
Another vibration from his phone tore the silence between us. He took out his phone and stared at it for long seconds.
“Did something happen?” I shuffled closer. It was then that I took notice of his clothes and skin. There were dried crimson stains on his arms and a little on his neck. Blood. “There's blood on you—”
“It’s not mine, Sky. I'm fine. Nothing to worry about,” I could almost sense the lie in his words. Something was going on. Something he didn't want me worrying about. He shoved the phone back into his pocket. “Have a warm shower, I ne
SAVIO RUSSOI rolled my shoulders to ease the tension in them while my fingers kept flying over the keyboard.I hadn't slept a wink throughout the night and still couldn't track the fucking bastard. It felt as if everything I'd done in the last few fucking hours was a waste of time.Letting out a frustrated growl, I slammed my fist down on the fucking keyboard. The last time I'd gotten visual on Tymon was in Greece a few hours ago, but after a thorough search of the location he'd been sighted, he fucking ghosted.A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts, and the door pulled open.For the first time in weeks, I was not excited at the possibility of seeing Skylar. Not when I didn't have answers for her.I'd been unable to track Tymon down or figure out how they kept finding us wherever we went and I still hadn't f
SKYLAR DUVALI squirmed, pressing my thighs together. If Savio noticed, he didn't react, but his grip on my hip tightened the slightest bit. I put my free hand up against his naked chest and felt his muscles flex beneath my fingertips. His skin was covered with scars,and I began tracing them curiously until l accidentally grazed over his nipple.He groaned into my mouth, jerking slightly, to meet my eyes. "Tell me how you feel,""I'm okay,”"That's not a feeling,”"I'm feeling okay," I said again with more force. "Only a bit overwhelmed,”"Maybe we should stop,”I didn't want to stop. I shook my head. “No, you need to keep going,” I said breathlessly. I couldn't quit here or I may never return.His strong hands reached for the hem of m

SKYLAR DUVAL“What?” I swallow over the tightness strangling my throat. “He's with Mona?”“Seeing as he isn't out here, he must be having a good time,”My breathing hitched as I tried to paste on a smile and pretend I didn't care whereas it felt like every piece of me was tearing up inside.Savio had brought me here so he could have sex with another woman. I didn't want to picture him in bed with another woman, yet the images bombarded my mind. I imagined his naked body and perfect muscles giving pleasure to her.“Are you okay?” Timmy almost stormed forward but my hand lifted just in time to stop him.“I'm fine,” I muttered. “Where can I find the restroom,”I moved my legs as soon as Timmy pointed to the other hallway. I measured my p
SKYLAR DUVALSavio barely talked to me for the next few days. Instead, he kept me at arm's length. We barely exchanged a word or two throughout the day. Most of the time he locked himself up in his room, working behind his computer and helping Dimitri and the others with whatever they needed.Sometimes it almost felt like he couldn't wait to be out of here, far away from me.I had really fucked up. I shouldn't have kissed him. I should have regretted every second of that moment, but unfortunately, I didn't. Because it felt like some fun within me had been awakened. I felt different. Good different. More optimistic that my missing friends would be found and hopeful of whatever future awaited me after all this was over. And it was all because of Savio.I found myself wanting to be better for him. To look my best for him.It was ridiculo
SKYLAR DUVAL“We're going with the basic move first,” I watched, arms crossed as Savio positioned his stance on the rug, spreading his legs a few inches apart. He brushed his hands together, his biceps flexing under his T-shirt. “If someone is coming at you. Aim for the groin if you can. That tends to drop a guy like a sack of shit. But if you can't, you can try a hammer punch,” He clenched his fist and made a predictable hammer movement. “Or you can make use of your elbows. Or the heel of your palm,”I watched in silence as he demonstrated every basic move I could make when faced with danger.“Are we good?” He met my gaze and I nodded. “Good, then practice on me,”My rampant heartbeat faltered. “I don't want—”“You don't want to hurt me? Don't worry about me swee
