CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 97. You left me no choice
Erica“Go to hell and stay there.”“Gladly. But don’t forget what I said last time.” I didn’t. And his words came back to me now with a rush as he repeated them for me. “And I will take you with me.” He drank the rest of the scotch and the empty glass clinked with the remaining ice in them. He met my gaze when he felt me watching and he said, “Do you want to use your safeword, because I am not done yet.”“Do your worst.”He crouched a little, but didn't get on his knees as he said, “Tell you what... If you use your safeword now, I’ll put you to bed and leave you alone.” I shook my head even before he was finished. The problem was I didn't want him to leave me alone. I didn't want to take the chance, what if the darkness returned with his absence. I would prefer him and his punishments over the past demons any day of my life. “Or another option, you can scream for me. Scream and apologize, and I will stop.” His voice dropped to a deep murmur that felt like silk and warm like a summer s
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 98. She was mine
AntonioErica was a lot of things but the fighter inside her was something that scratched at the part of me I didn’t think I had. My mother was anything but a fighter, she had let her husband walk all over her and hadn’t said a word even when it came to her children. I hated her for it. I hated how she turned a blind eye to what her husband was doing to her children when it meant that she would get a reprieve from his sadistic behaviour. As a kid I had been unable to understand how a mother could let her children suffer but I knew that it was fûcked up. I knew that she wasn't a woman enough to be a mother and that was something that had remained with me. I despised weak women. I hated women who took their vulnerability as an excuse to be weak, to not fight.And then Erica barged into my life like the
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 99. Felt too intimate
AntonioWith her in my arms, I made my way toward the ensuite bathroom. She was warm in my hold, her face pressed against my chest and her eyelids were resting against her flushed cheeks. She hasn’t looked more beautiful than she looked at this moment, so subservient like a pretty little pet but I knew fire burned inside her. It was just on a low simmer because of what we had done. It feels like my own fire dulls her and it was a good thing as otherwise we would both still be fighting for power until the sun rose high up in the sky. I liked how she was so fûcking stubborn and even though it takes her time, she gives in to my demands.I pulled the glass door open to the shower, it was big enough for four people if needed and there was a bench adjacent to the wall. I settled her there before I fiddled with the knobs to set the temperature and stood in front of her so as not to have her drenched in the cold blast of water that would come out at first. I hadn’t ever considered such small
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 100. Forty eight or fifty?
EricaThe car ride was uneventful and this time Ephraim was sitting in the back with Antonio and I. He was on my side of the seat while Antonio sat opposite us like the king judging his people but still his gaze felt skin deep. Thankfully, I was wearing proper clothes. Apparently Antonio had already ordered for them and Ephraim had bought them for me. Now, as I sat there with his golden gaze occasionally flickering to me I was grateful for the jeans and the blouse that was made of the softest silk, and because there was a chill in the air there was a matching pink scarf to go with my outfit. They were both into a deep discussion and talking in Italian but I heard Sokolov name a few times so I gathered they were still discussing about last night. And I didn’t miss how Antonio’s voice would turn lower and colder when he’d say something. Outwardly, he looked calmed and composed, but I could tell that more quiet he was and furious he’d be. It seemed I was starting to understand him a lit
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 101. Learned your lesson
Erica This breakfast was a new experience for me as both Ephraim and Antonio made small talk with me like they wanted to really know me. When I thanked Ephraim for the clothes and especially for the scarf, he told me it was Antonio who wanted this color. When I glanced at him in surprise, Antonio looked at me with dark eyes as he said, “Don’t ever lie to me, especially about the things you love. Ask for it and I’ll give it to you.” I opened my mouth but he placed a finger on my lips as he said, “Within boundaries, little devil. Don't push them.” And still I was warm from his earlier words, how so easily he said that he’d give me anything if I asked for it. And it wasn’t just that, Antonio hadn’t stopped touching me once since we sat down. Even when he was eating, his hand remained on my thigh. Going up and down in a maddening rhythm, making me squirm in my seat. And now as we finished our food, he turned to me and removed a napkin from his pocket then proceeded to wipe my mouth for
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 102. Can we keep him?
EricaAs soon as we were outside, Antonio grabbed my wrist and tugged me toward the narrow alley behind the restaurant and slammed me against the wall.“Anto—” He didn’t let me finish as he circled my throat with his fingers and tightened his hold before he slammed his lips down against mine.I gasped into his mouth and he took the opportunity to push his tongue past my lips as he ravaged my mouth. The kiss was punishing in its own way and I realised that was how he meant it to be. My bottom lip stung from where it was hurt but I kissed him back with equal fervor. When he pulled back, his thumb pushed down on my racing pulse as he said, “Never and I mean never do that again. I let you use that sassy mouth with me because I enjoy it and hadn’t stopped you in front of Ephraim even, but I draw the line where you think you can tell me what to do, like I’m accountable to you, in front of the whole world. These men fear me, little devil and if they see that I let my little whôre order me ar
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 103. Fear and Helplessness
Erica“Can we keep him? Take him with us?”For a long minute he didn’t say anything as he kept staring at the dog. And then, I watched him change in front of my eyes.I remembered the time when I had realised what was happening to me. What was being done to me. When my nightmares had turned into reality and when I had seen myself in the mirror after that horrible night. I remembered how I had looked. Just the way Antonio looked right now. Lost and broken. And fûcking angry. So angry, the rage was a palpable being between us. Instincts told me to step back but I was frozen and then... I didn’t know how it happened. Just as carefully as Antonio took the dog from me with as much force he slammed me against the wall. His face was red and his eyes were dark like the night sky without moon and the stars. “Don’t touch them. Don’t fucking touch them.” His voice wasn’t cold or heated how it normally gets when he wants to subdue me. But it was shaking, filled with emotions that I knew too well
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 104. Your eyes tell your secrets
EricaI walked to his office but when I pushed the door open it was empty. I made my way downstairs and found Mario in the small sitting room where Antonio had spànked me for the first time. When he saw me, he motioned for me to join him. “Come on, sit with me. Do you need anything?”I shook my head. “No. I’m good.” I asked, “Do you know where Antonio is?”His brows troubled and I knew he was aware of his dark mood. He said, “He went back out to the city.”“Oh.” I could hear the disappointment in that single word and so did Mario.He smiled at me as he said, “Ephraim told me what happened today.” I remained silent, waiting for him to say more. Wanting him to say more. But when he didn’t say anything, I asked, “Can you tell me more about it? I asked Ephraim but he didn’t say anything.”Mario looked like he wanted to say something but he shook his head. “I shouldn’t. They are not my secrets.”I could see that he wanted to tell me so I gave him the push that I knew would work. I said, “
