Cherished By the Devil Not Ever Again
GREY“Was she pissed?” Lanzo asked a few minutes after my call with Poppy had ended.I nodded, keeping my eyes glued to the laptop screen. “We'll discuss that later,” I tossed, constantly surveying the room, searching for any movement. I didn't want to talk about Poppy with Lanzo. I had been talking about her without her knowing too many times already. I had created a whole plan, putting her in the center of it, without sharing a single detail.I had told myself that this was the only way to make it work. I'd thought it would limit the variables that could have gone wrong. This was what I had been taught to do. I had set the pawns on the chessboard and let the game begin. The problem was that as an assassin, I had rarely cared about innocent casualties. And now, I cared about one of my pawns. I cared about her a whole fucking lot.I dragged my hands over my face, then rolled my stiff shoulders. The exhaustion was taking a toll on me, but I kept sitting by my desk, monitoring the scree

POPPYAll my instincts were screaming, telling me that I should flee, and yet I kept walking forward, wearing nothing but a piece of silk and lace to cover my body. I had tried to stay calm and keep my act, but after hearing Grey's words, something within me had broken. The acidic taste of betrayal filled my insides. He had told me to trust him, but how could I do that when he'd just sold me to another man?Abigail had been trying to soothe my nerves for an hour. Like Lanzo, she'd said that this was a part of Grey's plan and that he would never allow Cantore to hurt me, but when I'd asked her about the details, she'd answered that I would know everything soon.I entered the guest room with the bed as the main part of it, and my body officially activated the panic mode. The second the door closed behind me, my heart began to hammer, and my ribcage shrank. A wise woman would have run the hell out of here, and yet a part of me still wanted to believe that some kind of a miracle was about
Cherished By the Devil Guilt
GREYPoppy stiffened on my lap, but her face remained as it was, slightly flushed and seemingly relaxed. I noticed the shift in her breath, and I knew it had nothing to do with my fingers between her thighs. I had told myself that I would use any means necessary, and this—Cantore's words—was something I anticipated. And yet, I knew I was approaching the line I shouldn't cross.“She's not part of an offer,” I said coldly.His brows rose. “Really? Could have fooled me, Maledetti.” He laughed and drank from his glass. “You know everything about my little… hobby, and you've been dangling her in front of my nose ever since our negotiations started. You can't tell me now she's not a part of your offer.”Poppy sucked in a shaky breath. I moved my hand away from her panties and tightened my grip on her. Her gaze turned to me, eyes widening in fear. I leaned closer and nuzzled her neck, whispering, “Trust me.”She kept looking into my eyes, as if she were begging me not to fail her. Like a fuc
Cherished By the Devil The Price
I passed the long hallway wearing a black dress with deep cleavage and long slits exposing my legs nearly up to my buttocks. My hair was partially pinned up and braided, with the back falling in loose waves. My makeup mainly emphasized my red-tinted lips. I couldn't help but feel I resembled an elegantly covered sex doll.I tried to think about it as a role play, as if I were the one who decided to act all naughty in front of the psychopathic Mafia boss. Unfortunately, it did little to soothe my nerves. What remained was the fact that this was important. This dinner, no matter how uncomfortable it was for me, could help prevent a disaster. Shivers coursed down my spine each time I imagined what would have happened if someone like Gaspare Valentino had gotten his hands on that package.Of course, no one knew what kind of information Pietro Sala had gathered there, but the pictures Cory and I had found suggested it might be enough to destroy a lot of Mafia families. It was easy to imagi
Cherished By the Devil Plan B
“So did you make a deal with Cantore?” I asked as we were getting into the Bentley.Grey was even more tense than I'd seen him before he'd gone to look for Cantore. I didn't miss the flexing muscle in his jaw or the way his hands kept curling into fists. He closed the door and told Luca to start the engine. “Not quite,” he tossed before turning his gaze to the window.Tension flooded all over my body. “Grey, talk to me, please. If there's any way I could help, then—”“No,” he gritted out. “I'll find a way to handle it.”I nodded slowly. “Cantore knows what's inside the package, doesn't he?”A tight smile appeared. “He does. He knows it's an external hard drive and that it is coded.”I processed his words. “At least not everyone can see the files. That should be a good thing, right?”“He asked me if I knew the code, which means that he doesn't know it,” Grey muttered. “I lied and told him that Sala had revealed that code to me before he'd died.”My brows rose. “Did he believe you?”Gre
Cherished By the Devil My Fight
POPPYA thick layer of blush lingered on my face for long minutes after Grey and I had finally left the terrace. I needed to use the ladies' room, and seriously considered taking a spare pair of lingerie the next time I went anywhere with Grey. I was standing in front of the mirror, surveying my glossy eyes and swollen lips. There had to be something wrong with me. What we'd done on that terrace had been wild. People had been strolling in that garden. All they'd had to do was look up…A wave of embarrassment flooded me even now as I recalled it. But the thrill it had given me made me seriously question my sanity. Then again, nothing I'd done with Grey was safe, sane, or casual. He constantly pushed me out of my comfort zone, giving me a taste of something feral, primal, and dangerous. And I absolutely loved it.Blowing out a breath, I sprinkled cold water over my reddened cheeks and walked to the door. When I stepped out of the ladies' room, I saw Grey waiting for me in the corridor.
