CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 58. Cloak of vulnerability
AntonioI stepped into the elevator with her in my arms. Her small arm was draped around my shoulder and after her initial stiffness, she pressed her cheek to my chest and I heard her let out a long sigh as she relaxed in my hold.Elijah stepped after us and I said, “Let Ephraim know we’re staying at the hotel.”“Certo, Capo.” As he made the phone call, I pressed the button for the private penthouse where I usually stay when I was in the city. If Ephraim had questions he would ask me in the morning or perhaps he’d come back because he never leaves my side. Until now it was always because he took his job of protecting me pretty seriously, but now after seeing him with Erica, it makes me wonder if he’d come back for her or me.As the elevator descended, I could feel her eyes on me but I didn’t look down at her. I just didn’t want to. The look on her face, of fear and utter panic got to me. It was the same look that I used to find on Caterina’s face when she’d hide in the attic or under

Antonio“Come here.”For a moment she just stared at me and I didn't think she’d comply, but then she shifted, turned her body toward me and came closer. I balanced my weight on my elbow as I looked down at her. Her fingers were curled into fists in the bedsheets and she was as still as a statue.Bringing my free hand up, I caressed her cheek, my fingers trailing down the side of her throat to the swell of her breásts. I marvelled at how soft her skin was and the way it broke out in goosebumps at my soft touch. I so wanted to pluck at her red nîpples but instead I leaned down and took one engorged bud into my mouth. She arched up, her breásts thrusting into my face as I sucked on the first and then second nîpple, giving each of them equal treatment. Sûcking and pulling on them with my lips and caressing them with my tongue.I wrapped my arm around her and after a beat, she turned into my body in a half embrace. My côck throbbed between us, jumping at the contàct of her warm body. She

EricaI woke up slowly, my mind feeling like an empty tin can in which hundreds of devil’s little minions were at work with their little hammers, busy pounding away at my temples with every breath I was taking. The ache in my shoulders made me move my hands which sent me into a panic when I realised I couldn’t. Now, wide awake I pulled at my hands, my heart going crazy inside my chest when I realised that they were tied to the headboard. Before I could slip into the darkness inside my mind, a cold voice froze me and my heart came to a sudden halt.“Stop. Or you’ll hurt yourself.”My eyes went to the hulking figure standing at the threshold of the bathroom. With hair damp, droplets of water running down his wide chest and the towel wrapped low around his waist, he still managed to look foreboding.“I—” I closed my mouth when a sudden wave of nausea hit me out of nowhere.In the next moment, long fingers were grabbing my wrists and then I was free. He helped me off the bed and pulled m
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 61. Doctor's visit
EricaI didn’t know how much time passed as I stood in front of the floor to ceiling windows looking out at the cloudy sky. There was no sun in sight and the chilled glass against my palm told me the weather was only going to get colder later. My gaze snagged on the dark escalade and I could only make out the men in dark uniforms stepping out of it but I didn’t pay them any attention as I heard a buzzer going off near the door.I turned to look just in time to see Antonio coming out of the bedroom, fully dressed in a black suit with a black shirt underneath, completing the look with his black Italian leather shoes and diamonds on his cufflinks. He looked ready to be photoshopped into a GQ magazine or on Vogue’s front cover. The sight of him made my stomach clench, remembering last night when he had laid down beside me and made me come with his fingers as if he wanted to give me comfort with his gentle touch.He made his way straight to the door and typed the code in to allow whoever w

Erica“She’s performing a vîrginity test.”For a moment I just stared at him, not believing my own ears. “What?”“A virginîty test.” He repeated. And all I heard was his words from the night before, ‘I will know all your secrets.’“No!” I started to sit up. But he pushed me down. The gentle hands on my legs, had me going in a frenzy as I kicked and tried to pull away from Antonio. “Stop touching me!” I snapped at the woman. Turning to him, I said, “You can’t do that to me, Antonio.” He didn't acknowledge my outburst. He was unfeeling and cold as he forced me down on the bed and with a knee near my shoulder he grabbed my one thigh while his other hand closed around my throat. “Stay still and it will be done soon. Or be difficult and I’ll tell her to drug you.”I was sure my eyes conveyed my hate for him. I would’ve fought to death. It was uncivil and humiliating and barbaric what he was doing to me but being drugged and out of consciousness while someone touched me was one thing that
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 63. Conflicting thoughts
AntonioI stalked inside the bedroom, unable to look at her any longer after what she just said to me. My rage knew no bounds at that moment. I was so fûcking furious but I didn’t know at whom. It wasn’t her, that much I knew. It was definitely me though. Fûck. Fuck. Fûck.The look in her eyes... I wish I could forget it. It unsettled something deep inside me. It made me insane to even think about what she said. What she must’ve gone through.There was a time in the past when I had kîlled and tortûred men for just looking at my sister wrong. And then I had protected Giana, kept her safe by any means possible. But knowing, and now having an understanding of what happened to Erica, it was making my blood run hot and cold.A part of me wondered if it’d have been better to not have known anything, even the glimpse she gave me to her demons was unsettling. Because I was starting to think the more I knew about her the more complicated she’d make my revenge. I was ready to kîll her at the en

EricaAs Ephraim guided me back inside the hotel, the doorman opened the door for us and I opted to look anywhere but at his face, god knows what he must be thinking. But I should’ve looked down instead as my feet tangled in the decorative rug and I almost fell face first on the marble floor as my ankle twisted.This time Ephraim wasn’t there to catch me but someone sure did. And his words made me stiffen as he said, “Better luck next time.”Ephraim grabbed my elbow and pulled me away from Elijah but I couldn’t pull my eyes off him as he winked at me before he turned away. “Shit. Are you okay?” Ephraim asked.“Yeah,” I nodded, absently. But when I took a step forward, I winced in pain that shot through my ankle.“Yeah, you look okay.” Ephraim drawled and in the next second he was picking me up in his arms.“You don’t have to do that!” I gasped.He just shook his head. “I am not letting you limp all the way to our breakfast table.”So that was how I found myself being carried around th

Erica As Antonio came to a stop near our table, his golden gaze narrowed on my leg in Ephraim’s lap. And even though I refused to look at him, I could feel his eyes on me, taking me in. “When did you come back?” He asked Ephraim. I busied myself as I poured a glass of orange juice for myself even though I didn’t want to drink it. “Not long ago.” Ephraim replied. “One would think you'd come straight to me instead of having breakfast with my captive.” “I was hungry and so was she.” I was inwardly impressed to see Ephraim talking back to Antonio, to be honest. I didn't think he had it in him. “Funny. One would think you should be more interested in getting a shower and washing off the night you must’ve had.” Antonio drawled, his fingers ticking away at his side. Tip. Tip. Tap. Tip I felt Ephraim stiffening before he looked at me. And it took me a moment to understand but I realized what Antonio meant by his cryptic comment. I almost wanted to laugh out loud at the prospe
