Nikolas couldn’t concentrate on anything since that encounter at the swimming pool. His body was on fire and he repented not having kissed her. Maybe a kiss could extinguish the flame that's burning deep inside him. He knew that he had unnecessarily attacked her before escaping the house like a coward. Who was he fooling? He didn’t need any seduction, his body was perpetually aroused when she was around. He sighed, closing his laptop. There was no point in attempting to work. After a tour of his distribution center, he conducted a meeting with his marketing team and finally came over to his office to draft an email to Knightsbridge. The deal was through and he needed to fix a meeting with him soon.
It was already 4 o'clock and he knew that had to return back to the villa but the thought of facing Brooklyn made him unnecessarily delay going back. How would he keep himself away from her? Even cold sho
It was already 9 o’clock in the night when they reached Lents, a neighborhood of Portland where Freddie Miller owned a house where they usually stored their illegal drugs. Jeremy had mentioned that he sometimes hid his prisoners here as well. They cautiously approached the two-storied house with a huge unkempt backyard, full of trees and creepers growing wildly that made it look more like a jungle. Without alerting anyone, officer Thompson of the Portland Police Department led his team inside the property. They spread out all over, covering the entire property so that no one could escape. Nikolas stayed back at a distance while they forcefully broke open the front door. A series of gun firing erupted from inside making them take shelter. Suddenly there was chaos everywhere as several policemen at the back door were shot brutally and before they could take any action, the criminals jumped into a car and sped away. A police car trailed it while th
Nikolas sat beside her, staring at her top, still in a dilemma. His fingers caught the hemline of the top to yank it out of her as gently as possible. However, the moment his fingers touched the soft, creamy skin of her abdomen, he felt how cold it was. He wasted no time and took off the soiled and wet top that was clinging to her.His eyes darkened immediately seeing her rounded, creamy brea*ts that he exposed, clad in a delicate off-white lace b*a. ‘Don’t look, Nikolas. You'll be dead taking cold showers all night,’ warned his inner voice. But he would be a dead man if he could stop himself from staring at her beautiful body. All his life he had stayed away from women. Being celibate had never bothered him. He despised the species so much that touching them had never occurred in his head but with Brooklyn’s appearance in his life, everything had turned upside down. He was transfor
Nikolas couldn’t believe his ears. Did she really ask him to stay just like she had asked her dream man in her sleepy state? He was too confused, not knowing what to make of it anymore.His phone buzzed with an incoming call from officer Warner. He walked into the room, ushering Brooklyn too, and closed the door after them. “Yes, officer Warner, tell me. Any news of Freddie Miller?” he asked with a tense expression on his face. Brooklyn stared at him with fear in her eyes.“Good morning, Mr. Ardolf. We have arrested Freddie Miller and some of his men as they were entering Washington through I-5 N. Three of our officers have been injured in the combat, but nothing serious so far,” he informed, making Brooklyn gasp with horror.“Good job, officer. That's very good
Brandon sighed. “I'll return sir his money and then we both can start afresh somewhere far away,” said Brandon. Brooklyn didn’t answer, suddenly she felt her heart constricting at the thought of going somewhere far away. She had no idea why the thought caused her so much pain. It felt as if she was leaving someone very dear to her.“What about Freddie Miller’s men? Wouldn’t they harass us?” Asked Brooklyn staring at her brother with scared eyes.“When they realize that we really don’t have any money, they’ll leave us alone. I think the cops have arrested the whole lot of them already,” said Brandon. Brooklyn sighed. It was useless to make Brandon see any sense. He had always been stubborn and would do what he thought was best.&ldquo
Nikolas watched Brooklyn discreetly every now and then all throughout the flight. He didn’t want her to leave with Brandon. He had quickly wrapped up the formalities and returned back to Brandon’s room. Having heard most of their conversation, his restlessness started to grow. He thought of ways of holding Brooklyn back. Did she really have a crush on him? That was a question he seriously needed an answer to. Finally, they reached Napa Valley at around lunchtime. Bruce and his men had brought Nikolas’s car along with an ambulance for Brandon. After ensuring that Brandon was comfortable in the ambulance, Nikolas went to have a word with Bruce.Brooklyn buckled the seat belt on and waited for Nikolas in his car. Brandon had slept throughout the ride but she was eager to get home, fearing that she might have stained her clothes. It was her time of the month and she sat chiding herself for no
Nikolas’s body burned with a strange fire, his desire-fogged brain was blind with a se*ual hunger that he'd never experienced before. He grasped the back of her head to claim her mouth better, dominating her, controlling her mouth. He wanted to imprint the feel of her mouth in his brain. It was a heady, crazy feeling that sent his heart into overdrive.Brooklyn couldn’t respond at first but then her fingers slowly fisted into his silky hair and she kissed him back, slowly and sensually at first as if she was experimenting with her first kiss. Nikolas groaned with pleasure. He knew that he was in deep sh*t now. Her soft, languid, and er*tic response started a war between his rational mind and traitorous body. His tongue tasted every recess of her mouth like he had been dreaming of doing for the last few days. Soon the kiss turned fierce and although Nikolas knew that he shouldn’t hav
Nikolas was acutely aware of the way Brooklyn was staring at him but he dared not look into her eyes for fear of losing his shit. He carried her to her room and gently placed her down. “Thank you,” said Brooklyn wanting to just disappear into her washroom but he just stood there adding to her anxiety.“I need to go to the washroom,” she blurted out at last not knowing what he was standing and waiting for. He nodded, staring at her.“I’ll make dinner. Do you need bland food?” He asked, looking worried. Brooklyn smiled, seeing the agitated expression on his face.“No, I’m not sick at all,” she told him. He frowned at her and then turned on his heel and abruptly left the room. Brooklyn heaved a sigh of relief and quickly went to the washroom
In ten minutes Brooklyn was ready to go and see her twin. She sat in the reception room waiting for Nikolas. Although she knew where the outhouse was, she didn’t have the courage to go alone after Nikolas had warned her not to. After a few minutes, Nikolas walked out in his work outfit, and Brooklyn couldn’t help but check him out. His muscular frame was well covered in the black formal suit he wore and if she hadn’t seen him semi-naked, she would never have known how well endowed he really was! A deep blush stained her cheeks at the sinful thoughts that invaded her mind.“Ready?” he asked, coming to a halt in front of her, his piercing gaze hooked upon her. Brooklyn looked up into his eyes and found a strange expression reflected in them, the one she had seen before as well. It was gone in a split second before she could decipher what exactly it was.
